rsv@Genesis:1:1 @ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

rsv@Genesis:1:4 @ And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.

rsv@Genesis:1:5 @ God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

rsv@Genesis:1:7 @ And God made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:8 @ And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

rsv@Genesis:1:9 @ And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:10 @ God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

rsv@Genesis:1:11 @ And God said, "Let the earth put forth vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, upon the earth." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:12 @ The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

rsv@Genesis:1:21 @ So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

rsv@Genesis:1:22 @ And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

rsv@Genesis:1:27 @ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

rsv@Genesis:1:28 @ And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:1:29 @ And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.

rsv@Genesis:2:1 @ Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

rsv@Genesis:2:2 @ And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.

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

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

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

rsv@Genesis:2:6 @ but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground--

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

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@Genesis:2:17 @ but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die."

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

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

rsv@Genesis:2:23 @ Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."

rsv@Genesis:2:25 @ And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed.

rsv@Genesis:3:5 @ For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

rsv@Genesis:3:6 @ So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, and he ate.

rsv@Genesis:3:7 @ Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons.

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

rsv@Genesis:3:10 @ And he said, "I heard the sound of thee in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

rsv@Genesis:3:11 @ He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"

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

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

rsv@Genesis:3:15 @ I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."

rsv@Genesis:3:17 @ And to Adam he said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, `You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;

rsv@Genesis:3:20 @ The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

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

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

rsv@Genesis:3:24 @ He drove out the man; and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

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

rsv@Genesis:4:7 @ If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it."

rsv@Genesis:4:8 @ Cain said to Abel his brother, "Let us go out to the field." And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him.

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

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

rsv@Genesis:4:17 @ Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

rsv@Genesis:4:24 @ If Cain is avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy-sevenfold."

rsv@Genesis:4:25 @ And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, for Cain slew him."

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

rsv@Genesis:5:1 @ This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.

rsv@Genesis:5:2 @ Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created.

rsv@Genesis:5:3 @ When Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.

rsv@Genesis:5:4 @ The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; and he had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:5 @ Thus all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:6 @ When Seth had lived a hundred and five years, he became the father of Enosh.

rsv@Genesis:5:7 @ Seth lived after the birth of Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:8 @ Thus all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:9 @ When Enosh had lived ninety years, he became the father of Kenan.

rsv@Genesis:5:10 @ Enosh lived after the birth of Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:11 @ Thus all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:12 @ When Kenan had lived seventy years, he became the father of Ma-hal'alel.

rsv@Genesis:5:13 @ Kenan lived after the birth of Ma-hal'alel eight hundred and forty years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:14 @ Thus all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:15 @ When Ma-hal'alel had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Jared.

rsv@Genesis:5:16 @ Ma-hal'alel lived after the birth of Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:17 @ Thus all the days of Ma-hal'alel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:18 @ When Jared had lived a hundred and sixty-two years he became the father of Enoch.

rsv@Genesis:5:19 @ Jared lived after the birth of Enoch eight hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:20 @ Thus all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:21 @ When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methu'selah.

rsv@Genesis:5:22 @ Enoch walked with God after the birth of Methu'selah three hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:23 @ Thus all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.

rsv@Genesis:5:24 @ Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

rsv@Genesis:5:25 @ When Methu'selah had lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, he became the father of Lamech.

rsv@Genesis:5:26 @ Methu'selah lived after the birth of Lamech seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:27 @ Thus all the days of Methu'selah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:28 @ When Lamech had lived a hundred and eighty-two years, he became the father of a son,

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

rsv@Genesis:5:30 @ Lamech lived after the birth of Noah five hundred and ninety-five years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:31 @ Thus all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:5:32 @ After Noah was five hundred years old, Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

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

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

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

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

rsv@Genesis:6:9 @ These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

rsv@Genesis:6:11 @ Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence.

rsv@Genesis:6:12 @ And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.

rsv@Genesis:6:13 @ And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

rsv@Genesis:6:15 @ This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

rsv@Genesis:6:22 @ Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.

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

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

rsv@Genesis:7:9 @ two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded Noah.

rsv@Genesis:7:11 @ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened.

rsv@Genesis:7:13 @ On the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark,

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

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

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

rsv@Genesis:7:19 @ And the waters prevailed so mightily upon the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered;

rsv@Genesis:7:20 @ the waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep.

rsv@Genesis:7:21 @ And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, birds, cattle, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth, and every man;

rsv@Genesis:7:22 @ everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died.

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

rsv@Genesis:7:24 @ And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.

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

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

rsv@Genesis:8:3 @ and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters had abated;

rsv@Genesis:8:5 @ And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

rsv@Genesis:8:6 @ At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made,

rsv@Genesis:8:7 @ and sent forth a raven; and it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth.

rsv@Genesis:8:8 @ Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground;

rsv@Genesis:8:9 @ but the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put forth his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him.

rsv@Genesis:8:10 @ He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

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

rsv@Genesis:8:12 @ Then he waited another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more.

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

rsv@Genesis:8:17 @ Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh--birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth--that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth."

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

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

rsv@Genesis:8:22 @ While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease."

rsv@Genesis:9:1 @ And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

rsv@Genesis:9:2 @ The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered.

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

rsv@Genesis:9:17 @ God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:9:19 @ These three were the sons of Noah; and from these the whole earth was peopled.

rsv@Genesis:9:20 @ Noah was the first tiller of the soil. He planted a vineyard;

rsv@Genesis:9:21 @ and he drank of the wine, and became drunk, and lay uncovered in his tent.

rsv@Genesis:9:22 @ And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

rsv@Genesis:9:23 @ Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

rsv@Genesis:9:25 @ he said, "Cursed be Canaan; a slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers."

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

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

rsv@Genesis:9:29 @ All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.

rsv@Genesis:10:7 @ The sons of Cush: Seba, Hav'ilah, Sabtah, Ra'amah, and Sab'teca. The sons of Ra'amah: Sheba and Dedan.

rsv@Genesis:10:19 @ And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon, in the direction of Gerar, as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomor'rah, Admah, and Zeboi'im, as far as Lasha.

rsv@Genesis:10:25 @ To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan.

rsv@Genesis:10:30 @ The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill country of the east.

rsv@Genesis:11:2 @ And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.

rsv@Genesis:11:4 @ Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."

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

rsv@Genesis:11:9 @ Therefore its name was called Ba'bel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

rsv@Genesis:11:10 @ These are the descendants of Shem. When Shem was a hundred years old, he became the father of Arpach'shad two years after the flood;

rsv@Genesis:11:11 @ and Shem lived after the birth of Arpach'shad five hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:12 @ When Arpach'shad had lived thirty-five years, he became the father of Shelah;

rsv@Genesis:11:13 @ and Arpach'shad lived after the birth of Shelah four hundred and three years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:14 @ When Shelah had lived thirty years, he became the father of Eber;

rsv@Genesis:11:15 @ and Shelah lived after the birth of Eber four hundred and three years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:16 @ When Eber had lived thirty-four years, he became the father of Peleg;

rsv@Genesis:11:17 @ and Eber lived after the birth of Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:18 @ When Peleg had lived thirty years, he became the father of Re'u;

rsv@Genesis:11:19 @ and Peleg lived after the birth of Re'u two hundred and nine years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:20 @ When Re'u had lived thirty-two years, he became the father of Serug;

rsv@Genesis:11:21 @ and Re'u lived after the birth of Serug two hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:22 @ When Serug had lived thirty years, he became the father of Nahor;

rsv@Genesis:11:23 @ and Serug lived after the birth of Nahor two hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:24 @ When Nahor had lived twenty-nine years, he became the father of Terah;

rsv@Genesis:11:25 @ and Nahor lived after the birth of Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:11:26 @ When Terah had lived seventy years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

rsv@Genesis:11:28 @ Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chalde'ans.

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

rsv@Genesis:11:32 @ The days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.

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

rsv@Genesis:12:4 @ So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

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

rsv@Genesis:12:6 @ Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.

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

rsv@Genesis:12:8 @ Thence he removed to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:12:9 @ And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb.

rsv@Genesis:12:13 @ Say you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared on your account."

rsv@Genesis:12:14 @ When Abram entered Egypt the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

rsv@Genesis:12:15 @ And when the princes of Pharaoh saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

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

rsv@Genesis:12:18 @ So Pharaoh called Abram, and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?

rsv@Genesis:13:3 @ And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

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

rsv@Genesis:13:10 @ And Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw that the Jordan valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zo'ar; this was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomor'rah.

rsv@Genesis:13:11 @ So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan valley, and Lot journeyed east; thus they separated from each other.

rsv@Genesis:13:12 @ Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, while Lot dwelt among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

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

rsv@Genesis:13:14 @ The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;

rsv@Genesis:13:16 @ I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your descendants also can be counted.

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

rsv@Genesis:14:1 @ In the days of Am'raphel king of Shinar, Ar'ioch king of Ella'sar, Ched-or-lao'mer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goi'im,

rsv@Genesis:25:30 @ And Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red pottage, for I am famished!" (Therefore his name was called Edom.)

rsv@Genesis:25:34 @ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

rsv@Genesis:26:2 @ And the LORD appeared to him, and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you.

rsv@Genesis:26:5 @ because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."

rsv@Genesis:26:7 @ When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister"; for he feared to say, "My wife," thinking, "lest the men of the place should kill me for the sake of Rebekah"; because she was fair to look upon.

rsv@Genesis:26:8 @ When he had been there a long time, Abim'elech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac fondling Rebekah his wife.

rsv@Genesis:26:9 @ So Abim'elech called Isaac, and said, "Behold, she is your wife; how then could you say, `She is my sister'?" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, `Lest I die because of her.'"

rsv@Genesis:26:11 @ So Abim'elech warned all the people, saying, "Whoever touches this man or his wife shall be put to death."

rsv@Genesis:26:12 @ And Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The LORD blessed him,

rsv@Genesis:26:13 @ and the man became rich, and gained more and more until he became very wealthy.

rsv@Genesis:26:14 @ He had possessions of flocks and herds, and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him.

rsv@Genesis:26:15 @ (Now the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father.)

rsv@Genesis:26:17 @ So Isaac departed from there, and encamped in the valley of Gerar and dwelt there.

rsv@Genesis:26:18 @ And Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.

rsv@Genesis:26:20 @ the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." So he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.

rsv@Genesis:26:21 @ Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that also; so he called its name Sitnah.

rsv@Genesis:26:22 @ And he moved from there and dug another well, and over that they did not quarrel; so he called its name Reho'both, saying, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."

rsv@Genesis:26:24 @ And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father; fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake."

rsv@Genesis:26:25 @ So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well.

rsv@Genesis:26:29 @ that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the LORD."

rsv@Genesis:26:31 @ In the morning they rose early and took oath with one another; and Isaac set them on their way, and they departed from him in peace.

rsv@Genesis:26:33 @ He called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.

rsv@Genesis:27:1 @ When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his older son, and said to him, "My son"; and he answered, "Here I am."

rsv@Genesis:27:14 @ So he went and took them and brought them to his mother; and his mother prepared savory food, such as his father loved.

rsv@Genesis:27:17 @ and she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

rsv@Genesis:27:20 @ But Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He answered, "Because the LORD your God granted me success."

rsv@Genesis:27:23 @ And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him.

rsv@Genesis:27:24 @ He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He answered, "I am."

rsv@Genesis:27:27 @ So he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, "See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed!

rsv@Genesis:27:29 @ Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be every one who curses you, and blessed be every one who blesses you!"

rsv@Genesis:27:30 @ As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

rsv@Genesis:27:31 @ He also prepared savory food, and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, "Let my father arise, and eat of his son's game, that you may bless me."

rsv@Genesis:27:32 @ His father Isaac said to him, "Who are you?" He answered, "I am your son, your first-born, Esau."

rsv@Genesis:27:33 @ Then Isaac trembled violently, and said, "Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him?--yes, and he shall be blessed."

rsv@Genesis:27:34 @ When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, O my father!"

rsv@Genesis:27:36 @ Esau said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright; and behold, now he has taken away my blessing." Then he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"

rsv@Genesis:27:37 @ Isaac answered Esau, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants, and with grain and wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?"

rsv@Genesis:27:38 @ Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father." And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

rsv@Genesis:27:39 @ Then Isaac his father answered him: "Behold, away from the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be, and away from the dew of heaven on high.

rsv@Genesis:27:41 @ Now Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said to himself, "The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob."

rsv@Genesis:27:42 @ But the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah; so she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, "Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself by planning to kill you.

rsv@Genesis:28:1 @ Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, "You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women.

rsv@Genesis:28:6 @ Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he charged him, "You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women,"

rsv@Genesis:28:7 @ and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and gone to Paddan-aram.

rsv@Genesis:28:11 @ And he came to a certain place, and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep.

rsv@Genesis:28:12 @ And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!

rsv@Genesis:28:18 @ So Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone which he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it.

rsv@Genesis:28:19 @ He called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of the city was Luz at the first.

rsv@Genesis:29:2 @ As he looked, he saw a well in the field, and lo, three flocks of sheep lying beside it; for out of that well the flocks were watered. The stone on the well's mouth was large,

rsv@Genesis:29:3 @ and when all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place upon the mouth of the well.

rsv@Genesis:29:7 @ He said, "Behold, it is still high day, it is not time for the animals to be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, pasture them."

rsv@Genesis:29:8 @ But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep."

rsv@Genesis:29:10 @ Now when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

rsv@Genesis:29:11 @ Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and wept aloud.

rsv@Genesis:29:13 @ When Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things,

rsv@Genesis:29:14 @ and Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh!" And he stayed with him a month.

rsv@Genesis:29:18 @ Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, "I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel."

rsv@Genesis:29:20 @ So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.

rsv@Genesis:29:21 @ Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed."

rsv@Genesis:29:22 @ So Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

rsv@Genesis:29:25 @ And in the morning, behold, it was Leah; and Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"

rsv@Genesis:29:28 @ Jacob did so, and completed her week; then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.

rsv@Genesis:29:30 @ So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years.

rsv@Genesis:29:31 @ When the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

rsv@Genesis:29:32 @ And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, "Because the LORD has looked upon my affliction; surely now my husband will love me."

rsv@Genesis:29:33 @ She conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also"; and she called his name Simeon.

rsv@Genesis:29:34 @ Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, "Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons"; therefore his name was called Levi.

rsv@Genesis:29:35 @ And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "This time I will praise the LORD"; therefore she called his name Judah; then she ceased bearing.

rsv@Genesis:30:1 @ When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she envied her sister; and she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I shall die!"

rsv@Genesis:30:2 @ Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"

rsv@Genesis:30:5 @ And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.

rsv@Genesis:30:6 @ Then Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice and given me a son"; therefore she called his name Daniel.

rsv@Genesis:30:7 @ Rachel's maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.

rsv@Genesis:30:8 @ Then Rachel said, "With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed"; so she called his name Naph'tali.

rsv@Genesis:30:9 @ When Leah saw that she had ceased bearing children, she took her maid Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

rsv@Genesis:30:11 @ And Leah said, "Good fortune!" so she called his name Gad.

rsv@Genesis:30:13 @ And Leah said, "Happy am I! For the women will call me happy"; so she called his name Asher.

rsv@Genesis:30:16 @ When Jacob came from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must come in to me; for I have hired you with my son's mandrakes." So he lay with her that night.

rsv@Genesis:30:17 @ And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.

rsv@Genesis:30:18 @ Leah said, "God has given me my hire because I gave my maid to my husband"; so she called his name Is'sachar.

rsv@Genesis:30:19 @ And Leah conceived again, and she bore Jacob a sixth son.

rsv@Genesis:30:20 @ Then Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good dowry; now my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons"; so she called his name Zeb'ulun.

rsv@Genesis:30:21 @ Afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

rsv@Genesis:30:22 @ Then God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her and opened her womb.

rsv@Genesis:30:23 @ She conceived and bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my reproach";

rsv@Genesis:30:24 @ and she called his name Joseph, saying, "May the LORD add to me another son!"

rsv@Genesis:30:26 @ Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know the service which I have given you."

rsv@Genesis:30:27 @ But Laban said to him, "If you will allow me to say so, I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you;

rsv@Genesis:30:29 @ Jacob said to him, "You yourself know how I have served you, and how your cattle have fared with me.

rsv@Genesis:30:30 @ For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly; and the LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. But now when shall I provide for my own household also?"

rsv@Genesis:30:31 @ He said, "What shall I give you?" Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything; if you will do this for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it:

rsv@Genesis:30:32 @ let me pass through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep and every black lamb, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be my wages.

rsv@Genesis:30:33 @ So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come to look into my wages with you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, shall be counted stolen."

rsv@Genesis:30:35 @ But that day Laban removed the he-goats that were striped and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white on it, and every lamb that was black, and put them in charge of his sons;

rsv@Genesis:30:36 @ and he set a distance of three days' journey between himself and Jacob; and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flock.

rsv@Genesis:30:37 @ Then Jacob took fresh rods of poplar and almond and plane, and peeled white streaks in them, exposing the white of the rods.

rsv@Genesis:30:38 @ He set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the runnels, that is, the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink,

rsv@Genesis:30:39 @ the flocks bred in front of the rods and so the flocks brought forth striped, speckled, and spotted.

rsv@Genesis:30:40 @ And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban; and he put his own droves apart, and did not put them with Laban's flock.

rsv@Genesis:30:41 @ Whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding Jacob laid the rods in the runnels before the eyes of the flock, that they might breed among the rods,

rsv@Genesis:30:43 @ Thus the man grew exceedingly rich, and had large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and asses.

rsv@Genesis:31:1 @ Now Jacob heard that the sons of Laban were saying, "Jacob has taken all that was our father's; and from what was our father's he has gained all this wealth."

rsv@Genesis:31:3 @ Then the LORD said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you."

rsv@Genesis:31:4 @ So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah into the field where his flock was,

rsv@Genesis:31:6 @ You know that I have served your father with all my strength;

rsv@Genesis:31:7 @ yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not permit him to harm me.

rsv@Genesis:31:8 @ If he said, `The spotted shall be your wages,' then all the flock bore spotted; and if he said, `The striped shall be your wages,' then all the flock bore striped.

rsv@Genesis:31:10 @ In the mating season of the flock I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream that the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were striped, spotted, and mottled.

rsv@Genesis:31:12 @ And he said, `Lift up your eyes and see, all the goats that leap upon the flock are striped, spotted, and mottled; for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.

rsv@Genesis:31:13 @ I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and made a vow to me. Now arise, go forth from this land, and return to the land of your birth.'"

rsv@Genesis:31:14 @ Then Rachel and Leah answered him, "Is there any portion or inheritance left to us in our father's house?

rsv@Genesis:31:15 @ Are we not regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has been using up the money given for us.

rsv@Genesis:31:18 @ and he drove away all his cattle, all his livestock which he had gained, the cattle in his possession which he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to the land of Canaan to his father Isaac.

rsv@Genesis:31:20 @ And Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean, in that he did not tell him that he intended to flee.

rsv@Genesis:31:21 @ He fled with all that he had, and arose and crossed the Euphra'tes, and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead.

rsv@Genesis:31:22 @ When it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled,

rsv@Genesis:31:23 @ he took his kinsmen with him and pursued him for seven days and followed close after him into the hill country of Gilead.

rsv@Genesis:31:24 @ But God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream by night, and said to him, "Take heed that you say not a word to Jacob, either good or bad."

rsv@Genesis:31:25 @ And Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his kinsmen encamped in the hill country of Gilead.

rsv@Genesis:31:26 @ And Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done, that you have cheated me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?

rsv@Genesis:31:29 @ It is in my power to do you harm; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, `Take heed that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.'

rsv@Genesis:31:30 @ And now you have gone away because you longed greatly for your father's house, but why did you steal my gods?"

rsv@Genesis:31:31 @ Jacob answered Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.

rsv@Genesis:31:33 @ So Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maidservants, but he did not find them. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered Rachel's.

rsv@Genesis:31:35 @ And she said to her father, "Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the way of women is upon me." So he searched, but did not find the household gods.

rsv@Genesis:31:36 @ Then Jacob became angry, and upbraided Laban; Jacob said to Laban, "What is my offense? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me?

rsv@Genesis:31:38 @ These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your she-goats have not miscarried, and I have not eaten the rams of your flocks.

rsv@Genesis:31:39 @ That which was torn by wild beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it myself; of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

rsv@Genesis:31:40 @ Thus I was; by day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.

rsv@Genesis:31:41 @ These twenty years I have been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.

rsv@Genesis:31:42 @ If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been on my side, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God saw my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night."

rsv@Genesis:31:43 @ Then Laban answered and said to Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?

rsv@Genesis:31:47 @ Laban called it Je'gar-sahadu'tha: but Jacob called it Galeed.

rsv@Genesis:31:48 @ Laban said, "This heap is a witness between you and me today." Therefore he named it Galeed,

rsv@Genesis:31:54 @ and Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and called his kinsmen to eat bread; and they ate bread and tarried all night on the mountain.

rsv@Genesis:31:55 @ Early in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and blessed them; then he departed and returned home.

rsv@Genesis:32:2 @ and when Jacob saw them he said, "This is God's army!" So he called the name of that place Mahana'im.

rsv@Genesis:32:3 @ And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Se'ir, the country of Edom,

rsv@Genesis:32:4 @ instructing them, "Thus you shall say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob, `I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now;

rsv@Genesis:32:6 @ And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau, and he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him."

rsv@Genesis:32:7 @ Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies,

rsv@Genesis:32:9 @ And Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O LORD who didst say to me, `Return to your country and to your kindred, and I will do you good,'

rsv@Genesis:32:10 @ I am not worthy of the least of all the steadfast love and all the faithfulness which thou hast shown to thy servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.

rsv@Genesis:32:12 @ But thou didst say, `I will do you good, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.'"

rsv@Genesis:32:13 @ So he lodged there that night, and took from what he had with him a present for his brother Esau,

rsv@Genesis:32:14 @ two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,

rsv@Genesis:32:16 @ These he delivered into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass on before me, and put a space between drove and drove."

rsv@Genesis:32:17 @ He instructed the foremost, "When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, `To whom do you belong? Where are you going? And whose are these before you?'

rsv@Genesis:32:19 @ He likewise instructed the second and the third and all who followed the droves, "You shall say the same thing to Esau when you meet him,

rsv@Genesis:32:21 @ So the present passed on before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp.

rsv@Genesis:32:22 @ The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

rsv@Genesis:32:24 @ And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.

rsv@Genesis:32:25 @ When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and Jacob's thigh was put out of joint as he wrestled with him.

rsv@Genesis:32:28 @ Then he said, "Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed."

rsv@Genesis:32:29 @ Then Jacob asked him, "Tell me, I pray, your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask my name?" And there he blessed him.

rsv@Genesis:32:30 @ So Jacob called the name of the place Peni'el, saying, "For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is preserved."

rsv@Genesis:32:31 @ The sun rose upon him as he passed Penu'el, limping because of his thigh.

rsv@Genesis:32:32 @ Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew of the hip.

rsv@Genesis:33:1 @ And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two maids.

rsv@Genesis:33:4 @ But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.

rsv@Genesis:33:5 @ And when Esau raised his eyes and saw the women and children, he said, "Who are these with you?" Jacob said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."

rsv@Genesis:33:6 @ Then the maids drew near, they and their children, and bowed down;

rsv@Genesis:33:7 @ Leah likewise and her children drew near and bowed down; and last Joseph and Rachel drew near, and they bowed down.

rsv@Genesis:33:8 @ Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob answered, "To find favor in the sight of my lord."

rsv@Genesis:33:10 @ Jacob said, "No, I pray you, if I have found favor in your sight, then accept my present from my hand; for truly to see your face is like seeing the face of God, with such favor have you received me.

rsv@Genesis:33:11 @ Accept, I pray you, my gift that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." Thus he urged him, and he took it.

rsv@Genesis:33:15 @ So Esau said, "Let me leave with you some of the men who are with me." But he said, "What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord."

rsv@Genesis:33:16 @ So Esau returned that day on his way to Se'ir.

rsv@Genesis:33:17 @ But Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built himself a house, and made booths for his cattle; therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

rsv@Genesis:33:18 @ And Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, on his way from Paddan-aram; and he camped before the city.

rsv@Genesis:33:19 @ And from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, he bought for a hundred pieces of money the piece of land on which he had pitched his tent.

rsv@Genesis:33:20 @ There he erected an altar and called it El-El'ohe-Israel.

rsv@Genesis:34:2 @ and when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he seized her and lay with her and humbled her.

rsv@Genesis:34:3 @ And his soul was drawn to Dinah the daughter of Jacob; he loved the maiden and spoke tenderly to her.

rsv@Genesis:34:5 @ Now Jacob heard that he had defiled his daughter Dinah; but his sons were with his cattle in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.

rsv@Genesis:34:13 @ The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.

rsv@Genesis:34:14 @ They said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.

rsv@Genesis:34:15 @ Only on this condition will we consent to you: that you will become as we are and every male of you be circumcised.

rsv@Genesis:34:17 @ But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter, and we will be gone."

rsv@Genesis:34:18 @ Their words pleased Hamor and Hamor's son Shechem.

rsv@Genesis:34:19 @ And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most honored of all his family.

rsv@Genesis:40:21 @ He restored the chief butler to his butlership, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand;

rsv@Genesis:41:2 @ and behold, there came up out of the Nile seven cows sleek and fat, and they fed in the reed grass.

rsv@Genesis:41:5 @ And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk.

rsv@Genesis:41:6 @ And behold, after them sprouted seven ears, thin and blighted by the east wind.

rsv@Genesis:41:7 @ And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

rsv@Genesis:41:8 @ So in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men; and Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none who could interpret it to Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:41:11 @ we dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning.

rsv@Genesis:41:12 @ A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard; and when we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream.

rsv@Genesis:45:16 @ When the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, "Joseph's brothers have come," it pleased Pharaoh and his servants well.

rsv@Genesis:45:22 @ To each and all of them he gave festal garments; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five festal garments.

rsv@Genesis:45:23 @ To his father he sent as follows: ten asses loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses loaded with grain, bread, and provision for his father on the journey.

rsv@Genesis:45:24 @ Then he sent his brothers away, and as they departed, he said to them, "Do not quarrel on the way."

rsv@Genesis:45:26 @ And they told him, "Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt." And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.

rsv@Genesis:45:27 @ But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived;

rsv@Genesis:46:1 @ So Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

rsv@Genesis:46:5 @ Then Jacob set out from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

rsv@Genesis:46:6 @ They also took their cattle and their goods, which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him,

rsv@Genesis:46:12 @ The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan); and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.

rsv@Genesis:46:15 @ (these are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, together with his daughter Dinah; altogether his sons and his daughters numbered thirty-three).

rsv@Genesis:46:29 @ Then Joseph made ready his chariot and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen; and he presented himself to him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.

rsv@Genesis:47:2 @ And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them to Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:47:7 @ Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:47:9 @ And Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my sojourning are a hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning."

rsv@Genesis:47:10 @ And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:47:11 @ Then Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Ram'eses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

rsv@Genesis:47:12 @ And Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all his father's household with food, according to the number of their dependents.

rsv@Genesis:47:13 @ Now there was no food in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.

rsv@Genesis:47:14 @ And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

rsv@Genesis:47:16 @ And Joseph answered, "Give your cattle, and I will give you food in exchange for your cattle, if your money is gone."

rsv@Genesis:47:17 @ So they brought their cattle to Joseph; and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the herds, and the asses: and he supplied them with food in exchange for all their cattle that year.

rsv@Genesis:47:18 @ And when that year was ended, they came to him the following year, and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent; and the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our lands.

rsv@Genesis:47:19 @ Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be slaves to Pharaoh; and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land may not be desolate."

rsv@Genesis:47:22 @ Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had a fixed allowance from Pharaoh, and lived on the allowance which Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land.

rsv@Genesis:47:23 @ Then Joseph said to the people, "Behold, I have this day bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.

rsv@Genesis:47:24 @ And at the harvests you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households, and as food for your little ones."

rsv@Genesis:47:25 @ And they said, "You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be slaves to Pharaoh."

rsv@Genesis:47:27 @ Thus Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied exceedingly.

rsv@Genesis:47:28 @ And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred and forty-seven years.

rsv@Genesis:47:29 @ And when the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh, and promise to deal loyally and truly with me. Do not bury me in Egypt,

rsv@Genesis:47:30 @ but let me lie with my fathers; carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burying place." He answered, "I will do as you have said."

rsv@Genesis:47:31 @ And he said, "Swear to me"; and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself upon the head of his bed.

rsv@Genesis:48:2 @ And it was told to Jacob, "Your son Joseph has come to you"; then Israel summoned his strength, and sat up in bed.

rsv@Genesis:48:3 @ And Jacob said to Joseph, "God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,

rsv@Genesis:48:6 @ And the offspring born to you after them shall be yours; they shall be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance.

rsv@Genesis:48:7 @ For when I came from Paddan, Rachel to my sorrow died in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem)."

rsv@Genesis:48:10 @ Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. So Joseph brought them near him; and he kissed them and embraced them.

rsv@Genesis:48:12 @ Then Joseph removed them from his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

rsv@Genesis:48:14 @ And Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it upon the head of E'phraim, who was the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manas'seh, crossing his hands, for Manas'seh was the first-born.

rsv@Genesis:48:15 @ And he blessed Joseph, and said, "The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has led me all my life long to this day,

rsv@Genesis:48:16 @ the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and in them let my name be perpetuated, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."

rsv@Genesis:48:17 @ When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of E'phraim, it displeased him; and he took his father's hand, to remove it from E'phraim's head to Manas'seh's head.

rsv@Genesis:48:19 @ But his father refused, and said, "I know, my son, I know; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; nevertheless his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations."

rsv@Genesis:48:20 @ So he blessed them that day, saying, "By you Israel will pronounce blessings, saying, `God make you as E'phraim and as Manas'seh'"; and thus he put E'phraim before Manas'seh.

rsv@Genesis:49:1 @ Then Jacob called his sons, and said, "Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in days to come.

rsv@Genesis:49:4 @ Unstable as water, you shall not have pre-eminence because you went up to your father's bed; then you defiled it--you went up to my couch!

rsv@Genesis:49:28 @ All these are the twelve tribes of Israel; and this is what their father said to them as he blessed them, blessing each with the blessing suitable to him.

rsv@Genesis:50:10 @ When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they lamented there with a very great and sorrowful lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

rsv@Genesis:50:11 @ When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning on the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians." Therefore the place was named A'bel-mizraim; it is beyond the Jordan.

rsv@Genesis:50:12 @ Thus his sons did for him as he had commanded them;

rsv@Genesis:50:13 @ for his sons carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field at Mach-pe'lah, to the east of Mamre, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite, to possess as a burying place.

rsv@Genesis:50:14 @ After he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone up with him to bury his father.

rsv@Genesis:50:16 @ So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died,

rsv@Genesis:50:21 @ So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones." Thus he reassured them and comforted them.

rsv@Genesis:50:22 @ So Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father's house; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.

rsv@Genesis:50:26 @ So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

rsv@Exodus:1:7 @ But the descendants of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong; so that the land was filled with them.

rsv@Exodus:1:12 @ But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel.

rsv@Exodus:1:15 @ Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiph'rah and the other Pu'ah,

rsv@Exodus:1:17 @ But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live.

rsv@Exodus:1:18 @ So the king of Egypt called the midwives, and said to them, "Why have you done this, and let the male children live?"

rsv@Exodus:1:19 @ The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and are delivered before the midwife comes to them."

rsv@Exodus:1:20 @ So God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and grew very strong.

rsv@Exodus:1:21 @ And because the midwives feared God he gave them families.

rsv@Exodus:1:22 @ Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, "Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile, but you shall let every daughter live."

rsv@Exodus:2:2 @ The woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

rsv@Exodus:2:3 @ And when she could hide him no longer she took for him a basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with bitumen and pitch; and she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds at the river's brink.

rsv@Exodus:2:8 @ And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." So the girl went and called the child's mother.

rsv@Exodus:2:9 @ And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages." So the woman took the child and nursed him.

rsv@Exodus:2:10 @ And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son; and she named him Moses, for she said, "Because I drew him out of the water."

rsv@Exodus:2:11 @ One day, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his people.

rsv@Exodus:2:12 @ He looked this way and that, and seeing no one he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

rsv@Exodus:2:14 @ He answered, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid, and thought, "Surely the thing is known."

rsv@Exodus:2:15 @ When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh, and stayed in the land of Mid'ian; and he sat down by a well.

rsv@Exodus:2:16 @ Now the priest of Mid'ian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

rsv@Exodus:2:24 @ And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

rsv@Exodus:3:1 @ Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Mid'ian; and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

rsv@Exodus:3:2 @ And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and lo, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed.

rsv@Exodus:3:4 @ When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here am I."

rsv@Exodus:3:15 @ God also said to Moses, "Say this to the people of Israel, `The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you': this is my name for ever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.

rsv@Numbers:22:33 @ and the ass saw me, and turned aside before me these three times. If she had not turned aside from me, surely just now I would have slain you and let her live."

rsv@Numbers:22:34 @ Then Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, "I have sinned, for I did not know that thou didst stand in the road against me. Now therefore, if it is evil in thy sight, I will go back again."

rsv@Numbers:22:36 @ When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, on the boundary formed by the Arnon, at the extremity of the boundary.

rsv@Numbers:23:30 @ And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

rsv@Numbers:24:1 @ When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go, as at other times, to look for omens, but set his face toward the wilderness.

rsv@Deuteronomy:31:18 @ And I will surely hide my face in that day on account of all the evil which they have done, because they have turned to other gods.

rsv@Joshua:1:17 @ Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you; only may the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses!

rsv@Joshua:2:1 @ And Joshua the son of Nun sent two men secretly from Shittim as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." And they went, and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lodged there.

rsv@Joshua:2:3 @ Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring forth the men that have come to you, who entered your house; for they have come to search out all the land."

rsv@Joshua:2:5 @ and when the gate was to be closed, at dark, the men went out; where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you will overtake them."

rsv@Joshua:2:7 @ So the men pursued after them on the way to the Jordan as far as the fords; and as soon as the pursuers had gone out, the gate was shut.

rsv@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.

rsv@Joshua:2:11 @ And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no courage left in any man, because of you; for the LORD your God is he who is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.

rsv@Joshua:2:16 @ And she said to them, "Go into the hills, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned; then afterward you may go your way."

rsv@Joshua:2:21 @ And she said, "According to your words, so be it." Then she sent them away, and they departed; and she bound the scarlet cord in the window.

rsv@Joshua:2:22 @ They departed, and went into the hills, and remained there three days, until the pursuers returned; for the pursuers had made search all along the way and found nothing.

rsv@Joshua:2:23 @ Then the two men came down again from the hills, and passed over and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.

rsv@Joshua:2:24 @ And they said to Joshua, "Truly the LORD has given all the land into our hands; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of us."

rsv@Joshua:3:1 @ Early in the morning Joshua rose and set out from Shittim, with all the people of Israel; and they came to the Jordan, and lodged there before they passed over.

rsv@Joshua:3:3 @ and commanded the people, "When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God being carried by the Levitical priests, then you shall set out from your place and follow it,

rsv@Joshua:3:4 @ that you may know the way you shall go, for you have not passed this way before. Yet there shall be a space between you and it, a distance of about two thousand cubits; do not come near it."

rsv@Joshua:3:13 @ And when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be stopped from flowing, and the waters coming down from above shall stand in one heap."

rsv@Joshua:3:15 @ and when those who bore the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests bearing the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (the Jordan overflows all its banks throughout the time of harvest),

rsv@Joshua:3:16 @ the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap far off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zar'ethan, and those flowing down toward the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off; and the people passed over opposite Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:3:17 @ And while all Israel were passing over on dry ground, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan.

rsv@Joshua:4:1 @ When all the nation had finished passing over the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,

rsv@Joshua:4:4 @ Then Joshua called the twelve men from the people of Israel, whom he had appointed, a man from each tribe;

rsv@Joshua:4:7 @ Then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial for ever."

rsv@Joshua:4:8 @ And the men of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, according to the number of the tribes of the people of Israel, as the LORD told Joshua; and they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

rsv@Joshua:4:10 @ For the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to tell the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. The people passed over in haste;

rsv@Joshua:4:11 @ and when all the people had finished passing over, the ark of the LORD and the priests passed over before the people.

rsv@Joshua:4:12 @ The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manas'seh passed over armed before the people of Israel, as Moses had bidden them;

rsv@Joshua:4:13 @ about forty thousand ready armed for war passed over before the LORD for battle, to the plains of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they stood in awe of him, as they had stood in awe of Moses, all the days of his life.

rsv@Joshua:4:17 @ Joshua therefore commanded the priests, "Come up out of the Jordan."

rsv@Joshua:4:18 @ And when the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the LORD came up from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks, as before.

rsv@Joshua:4:19 @ The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they encamped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:4:22 @ then you shall let your children know, `Israel passed over this Jordan on dry ground.'

rsv@Joshua:4:23 @ For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up for us until we passed over,

rsv@Joshua:5:1 @ When all the kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites that were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no longer any spirit in them, because of the people of Israel.

rsv@Joshua:5:3 @ So Joshua made flint knives, and circumcised the people of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.

rsv@Joshua:5:4 @ And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the men of war, had died on the way in the wilderness after they had come out of Egypt.

rsv@Joshua:5:5 @ Though all the people who came out had been circumcised, yet all the people that were born on the way in the wilderness after they had come out of Egypt had not been circumcised.

rsv@Joshua:5:6 @ For the people of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, perished, because they did not hearken to the voice of the LORD; to them the LORD swore that he would not let them see the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

rsv@Joshua:5:7 @ So it was their children, whom he raised up in their stead, that Joshua circumcised; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

rsv@Joshua:5:8 @ When the circumcising of all the nation was done, they remained in their places in the camp till they were healed.

rsv@Joshua:5:9 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." And so the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day.

rsv@Joshua:5:10 @ While the people of Israel were encamped in Gilgal they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:5:11 @ And on the morrow after the passover, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain.

rsv@Joshua:5:12 @ And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they ate of the produce of the land; and the people of Israel had manna no more, but ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

rsv@Joshua:5:13 @ When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood before him with his drawn sword in his hand; and Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us, or for our adversaries?"

rsv@Joshua:5:14 @ And he said, "No; but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, "What does my lord bid his servant?"

rsv@Joshua:6:6 @ So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD."

rsv@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said to the people, "Go forward; march around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the LORD."

rsv@Joshua:6:8 @ And as Joshua had commanded the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD went forward, blowing the trumpets, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD following them.

rsv@Joshua:6:9 @ And the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while the trumpets blew continually.

rsv@Joshua:6:10 @ But Joshua commanded the people, "You shall not shout or let your voice be heard, neither shall any word go out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then you shall shout."

rsv@Joshua:6:11 @ So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass the city, going about it once; and they came into the camp, and spent the night in the camp.

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

rsv@Joshua:6:14 @ And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did for six days.

rsv@Joshua:6:15 @ On the seventh day they rose early at the dawn of day, and marched around the city in the same manner seven times: it was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times.

rsv@Joshua:6:17 @ And the city and all that is within it shall be devoted to the LORD for destruction; only Rahab the harlot and all who are with her in her house shall live, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

rsv@Joshua:6:18 @ But you, keep yourselves from the things devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted them you take any of the devoted things and make the camp of Israel a thing for destruction, and bring trouble upon it.

rsv@Joshua:6:19 @ But all silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are sacred to the LORD; they shall go into the treasury of the LORD."

rsv@Joshua:6:20 @ So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people raised a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

rsv@Joshua:6:21 @ Then they utterly destroyed all in the city, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and asses, with the edge of the sword.

rsv@Joshua:6:22 @ And Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, "Go into the harlot's house, and bring out from it the woman, and all who belong to her, as you swore to her."

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

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

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

rsv@Joshua:6:26 @ Joshua laid an oath upon them at that time, saying, "Cursed before the LORD be the man that rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho. At the cost of his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and at the cost of his youngest son shall he set up its gates."

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

rsv@Joshua:7:2 @ Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-a'ven, east of Bethel, and said to them, "Go up and spy out the land." And the men went up and spied out Ai.

rsv@Joshua:7:3 @ And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, "Let not all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai; do not make the whole people toil up there, for they are but few."

rsv@Joshua:7:4 @ So about three thousand went up there from the people; and they fled before the men of Ai,

rsv@Joshua:7:5 @ and the men of Ai killed about thirty-six men of them, and chased them before the gate as far as Sheb'arim, and slew them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

rsv@Joshua:7:8 @ O Lord, what can I say, when Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!

rsv@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant which I commanded them; they have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, and lied, and put them among their own stuff.

rsv@Joshua:7:12 @ Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become a thing for destruction. I will be with you no more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.

rsv@Joshua:7:13 @ Up, sanctify the people, and say, `Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the LORD, God of Israel, "There are devoted things in the midst of you, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies, until you take away the devoted things from among you."

rsv@Joshua:7:15 @ And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he has done a shameful thing in Israel.'"

rsv@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua, "Of a truth I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and this is what I did:

rsv@Joshua:7:21 @ when I saw among the spoil a beautiful mantle from Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them, and took them; and behold, they are hidden in the earth inside my tent, with the silver underneath."

rsv@Joshua:7:25 @ And Joshua said, "Why did you bring trouble on us? The LORD brings trouble on you today." And all Israel stoned him with stones; they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.

rsv@Joshua:7:26 @ And they raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day; then the LORD turned from his burning anger. Therefore to this day the name of that place is called the Valley of Achor.

rsv@Joshua:8:1 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear or be dismayed; take all the fighting men with you, and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, his city, and his land;

rsv@Joshua:8:4 @ And he commanded them, "Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind it; do not go very far from the city, but hold yourselves all in readiness;

rsv@Joshua:8:8 @ And when you have taken the city, you shall set the city on fire, doing as the LORD has bidden; see, I have commanded you."

rsv@Joshua:8:10 @ And Joshua arose early in the morning and mustered the people, and went up, with the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

rsv@Joshua:8:11 @ And all the fighting men who were with him went up, and drew near before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai, with a ravine between them and Ai.

rsv@Joshua:8:13 @ So they stationed the forces, the main encampment which was north of the city and its rear guard west of the city. But Joshua spent that night in the valley.

rsv@Joshua:8:15 @ And Joshua and all Israel made a pretense of being beaten before them, and fled in the direction of the wilderness.

rsv@Joshua:8:16 @ So all the people who were in the city were called together to pursue them, and as they pursued Joshua they were drawn away from the city.

rsv@Joshua:8:17 @ There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, who did not go out after Israel; they left the city open, and pursued Israel.

rsv@Joshua:8:18 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai; for I will give it into your hand." And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.

rsv@Joshua:8:19 @ And the ambush rose quickly out of their place, and as soon as he had stretched out his hand, they ran and entered the city and took it; and they made haste to set the city on fire.

rsv@Joshua:8:20 @ So when the men of Ai looked back, behold, the smoke of the city went up to heaven; and they had no power to flee this way or that, for the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.

rsv@Joshua:8:21 @ And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up, then they turned back and smote the men of Ai.

rsv@Joshua:8:22 @ And the others came forth from the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side; and Israel smote them, until there was left none that survived or escaped.

rsv@Joshua:8:24 @ When Israel had finished slaughtering all the inhabitants of Ai in the open wilderness where they pursued them and all of them to the very last had fallen by the edge of the sword, all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

rsv@Joshua:8:26 @ For Joshua did not draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

rsv@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took as their booty, according to the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.

rsv@Joshua:8:28 @ So Joshua burned Ai, and made it for ever a heap of ruins, as it is to this day.

rsv@Joshua:8:29 @ And he hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised over it a great heap of stones, which stands there to this day.

rsv@Joshua:8:31 @ as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the people of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, "an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man has lifted an iron tool"; and they offered on it burnt offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.

rsv@Joshua:8:33 @ And all Israel, sojourner as well as homeborn, with their elders and officers and their judges, stood on opposite sides of the ark before the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, half of them in front of Mount Ger'izim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.

rsv@Joshua:8:35 @ There was not a word of all that Moses commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners who lived among them.

rsv@Joshua:9:2 @ they gathered together with one accord to fight Joshua and Israel.

rsv@Joshua:9:4 @ they on their part acted with cunning, and went and made ready provisions, and took worn-out sacks upon their asses, and wineskins, worn-out and torn and mended,

rsv@Joshua:9:5 @ with worn-out, patched sandals on their feet, and worn-out clothes; and all their provisions were dry and moldy.

rsv@Joshua:9:13 @ these wineskins were new when we filled them, and behold, they are burst; and these garments and shoes of ours are worn out from the very long journey."

rsv@Joshua:9:17 @ And the people of Israel set out and reached their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephi'rah, Be-er'oth, and Kir'iath-je'arim.

rsv@Joshua:9:18 @ But the people of Israel did not kill them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. Then all the congregation murmured against the leaders.

rsv@Joshua:9:22 @ Joshua summoned them, and he said to them, "Why did you deceive us, saying, `We are very far from you,' when you dwell among us?

rsv@Joshua:9:23 @ Now therefore you are cursed, and some of you shall always be slaves, hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God."

rsv@Joshua:9:24 @ They answered Joshua, "Because it was told to your servants for a certainty that the LORD your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; so we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and did this thing.

rsv@Joshua:9:26 @ So he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the people of Israel; and they did not kill them.

rsv@Joshua:10:1 @ When Ado'ni-ze'dek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it, doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them,

rsv@Joshua:10:2 @ he feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.

rsv@Joshua:10:5 @ Then the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered their forces, and went up with all their armies and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.

rsv@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, "Do not relax your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country are gathered against us."

rsv@Joshua:10:9 @ So Joshua came upon them suddenly, having marched up all night from Gilgal.

rsv@Joshua:10:10 @ And the LORD threw them into a panic before Israel, who slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-hor'on, and smote them as far as Aze'kah and Makke'dah.

rsv@Joshua:10:11 @ And as they fled before Israel, while they were going down the ascent of Beth-hor'on, the LORD threw down great stones from heaven upon them as far as Aze'kah, and they died; there were more who died because of the hailstones than the men of Israel killed with the sword.

rsv@Joshua:10:13 @ And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

rsv@Joshua:10:14 @ There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.

rsv@Joshua:10:15 @ Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.

rsv@Joshua:10:16 @ These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makke'dah.

rsv@Joshua:10:20 @ When Joshua and the men of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter, until they were wiped out, and when the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

rsv@Joshua:10:21 @ all the people returned safe to Joshua in the camp at Makke'dah; not a man moved his tongue against any of the people of Israel.

rsv@Joshua:10:24 @ And when they brought those kings out to Joshua, Joshua summoned all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, "Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings." Then they came near, and put their feet on their necks.

rsv@Joshua:10:25 @ And Joshua said to them, "Do not be afraid or dismayed; be strong and of good courage; for thus the LORD will do to all your enemies against whom you fight."

rsv@Joshua:10:27 @ but at the time of the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and threw them into the cave where they had hidden themselves, and they set great stones against the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.

rsv@Joshua:10:28 @ And Joshua took Makke'dah on that day, and smote it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed every person in it, he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makke'dah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:10:29 @ Then Joshua passed on from Makke'dah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah;

rsv@Joshua:10:30 @ and the LORD gave it also and its king into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it; he left none remaining in it; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:10:31 @ And Joshua passed on from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and laid siege to it, and assaulted it:

rsv@Joshua:10:32 @ and the LORD gave Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it, as he had done to Libnah.

rsv@Joshua:10:34 @ And Joshua passed on with all Israel from Lachish to Eglon; and they laid siege to it, and assaulted it;

rsv@Joshua:10:35 @ and they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and every person in it he utterly destroyed that day, as he had done to Lachish.

rsv@Joshua:10:36 @ Then Joshua went up with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron; and they assaulted it,

rsv@Joshua:10:37 @ and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king and its towns, and every person in it; he left none remaining, as he had done to Eglon, and utterly destroyed it with every person in it.

rsv@Joshua:10:38 @ Then Joshua, with all Israel, turned back to Debir and assaulted it,

rsv@Joshua:10:39 @ and he took it with its king and all its towns; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed every person in it; he left none remaining; as he had done to Hebron and to Libnah and its king, so he did to Debir and to its king.

rsv@Joshua:10:40 @ So Joshua defeated the whole land, the hill country and the Negeb and the lowland and the slopes, and all their kings; he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.

rsv@Joshua:10:41 @ And Joshua defeated them from Ka'desh-bar'nea to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.

rsv@Joshua:10:43 @ Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.

rsv@Joshua:11:5 @ And all these kings joined their forces, and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.

rsv@Joshua:11:8 @ And the LORD gave them into the hand of Israel, who smote them and chased them as far as Great Sidon and Mis'rephoth-ma'im, and eastward as far as the valley of Mizpeh; and they smote them, until they left none remaining.

rsv@Joshua:11:9 @ And Joshua did to them as the LORD bade him; he hamstrung their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.

rsv@Joshua:11:10 @ And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote its king with the sword; for Hazor formerly was the head of all those kingdoms.

rsv@Joshua:11:11 @ And they put to the sword all who were in it, utterly destroying them; there was none left that breathed, and he burned Hazor with fire.

rsv@Joshua:11:12 @ And all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took, and smote them with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded.

rsv@Joshua:11:13 @ But none of the cities that stood on mounds did Israel burn, except Hazor only; that Joshua burned.

rsv@Joshua:11:14 @ And all the spoil of these cities and the cattle, the people of Israel took for their booty; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, and they did not leave any that breathed.

rsv@Joshua:11:15 @ As the LORD had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

rsv@Joshua:11:20 @ For it was the LORD's doing to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be utterly destroyed, and should receive no mercy but be exterminated, as the LORD commanded Moses.

rsv@Joshua:11:21 @ And Joshua came at that time, and wiped out the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.

rsv@Joshua:12:1 @ Now these are the kings of the land, whom the people of Israel defeated, and took possession of their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon, with all the Arabah eastward:

rsv@Joshua:12:4 @ and Og king of Bashan, one of the remnant of the Reph'aim, who dwelt at Ash'taroth and at Ed're-i

rsv@Joshua:12:5 @ and ruled over Mount Hermon and Sal'ecah and all Bashan to the boundary of the Gesh'urites and the Ma-ac'athites, and over half of Gilead to the boundary of Sihon king of Heshbon.

rsv@Joshua:12:6 @ Moses, the servant of the LORD, and the people of Israel defeated them; and Moses the servant of the LORD gave their land for a possession to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh.

rsv@Joshua:12:7 @ And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the people of Israel defeated on the west side of the Jordan, from Ba'al-gad in the valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, that rises toward Se'ir (and Joshua gave their land to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their allotments,

rsv@Joshua:13:8 @ With the other half of the tribe of Manas'seh the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them:

rsv@Joshua:13:9 @ from Aro'er, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the tableland of Med'eba as far as Dibon;

rsv@Joshua:13:22 @ Balaam also, the son of Be'or, the soothsayer, the people of Israel killed with the sword among the rest of their slain.

rsv@Joshua:14:1 @ And these are the inheritances which the people of Israel received in the land of Canaan, which Elea'zar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel distributed to them.

rsv@Joshua:19:9 @ The inheritance of the tribe of Simeon formed part of the territory of Judah; because the portion of the tribe of Judah was too large for them, the tribe of Simeon obtained an inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.

rsv@Joshua:19:10 @ The third lot came up for the tribe of Zeb'ulun, according to its families. And the territory of its inheritance reached as far as Sarid;

rsv@Joshua:21:40 @ As for the cities of the several Merar'ite families, that is, the remainder of the families of the Levites, those allotted to them were in all twelve cities.

rsv@Joshua:21:43 @ Thus the LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers; and having taken possession of it, they settled there.

rsv@Joshua:21:45 @ Not one of all the good promises which the LORD had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass.

rsv@Joshua:24:7 @ And when they cried to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and made the sea come upon them and cover them; and your eyes saw what I did to Egypt; and you lived in the wilderness a long time.

rsv@Joshua:24:8 @ Then I brought you to the land of the Amorites, who lived on the other side of the Jordan; they fought with you, and I gave them into your hand, and you took possession of their land, and I destroyed them before you.

rsv@Joshua:24:9 @ Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel; and he sent and invited Balaam the son of Be'or to curse you,

rsv@Joshua:24:10 @ but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you; so I delivered you out of his hand.

rsv@Judges:2:5 @ And they called the name of that place Bochim; and they sacrificed there to the LORD.

rsv@Judges:2:6 @ When Joshua dismissed the people, the people of Israel went each to his inheritance to take possession of the land.

rsv@Judges:2:7 @ And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work which the LORD had done for Israel.

rsv@Judges:2:8 @ And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of one hundred and ten years.

rsv@Judges:2:9 @ And they buried him within the bounds of his inheritance in Tim'nath-he'res, in the hill country of E'phraim, north of the mountain of Ga'ash.

rsv@Judges:2:10 @ And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, who did not know the LORD or the work which he had done for Israel.

rsv@Judges:2:11 @ And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Ba'als;

rsv@Judges:2:12 @ and they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; they went after other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were round about them, and bowed down to them; and they provoked the LORD to anger.

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

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

rsv@Judges:2:16 @ Then the LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the power of those who plundered them.

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

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

rsv@Judges:2:19 @ But whenever the judge died, they turned back and behaved worse than their fathers, going after other gods, serving them and bowing down to them; they did not drop any of their practices or their stubborn ways.

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

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

rsv@Judges:3:12 @ And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done what was evil in the sight of the LORD.

rsv@Judges:3:13 @ He gathered to himself the Ammonites and the Amal'ekites, and went and defeated Israel; and they took possession of the city of palms.

rsv@Judges:3:14 @ And the people of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

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

rsv@Judges:3:16 @ And Ehud made for himself a sword with two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it on his right thigh under his clothes.

rsv@Judges:3:17 @ And he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.

rsv@Judges:3:18 @ And when Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people that carried the tribute.

rsv@Judges:3:19 @ But he himself turned back at the sculptured stones near Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." And he commanded, "Silence." And all his attendants went out from his presence.

rsv@Judges:3:21 @ And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly;

rsv@Judges:3:22 @ and the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

rsv@Judges:3:23 @ Then Ehud went out into the vestibule, and closed the doors of the roof chamber upon him, and locked them.

rsv@Judges:3:24 @ When he had gone, the servants came; and when they saw that the doors of the roof chamber were locked, they thought, "He is only relieving himself in the closet of the cool chamber."

rsv@Judges:3:25 @ And they waited till they were utterly at a loss; but when he still did not open the doors of the roof chamber, they took the key and opened them; and there lay their lord dead on the floor.

rsv@Judges:3:27 @ When he arrived, he sounded the trumpet in the hill country of E'phraim; and the people of Israel went down with him from the hill country, having him at their head.

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

rsv@Judges:3:29 @ And they killed at that time about ten thousand of the Moabites, all strong, able-bodied men; not a man escaped.

rsv@Judges:3:31 @ After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed six hundred of the Philistines with an oxgoad; and he too delivered Israel.

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

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

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

rsv@Judges:6:8 @ the LORD sent a prophet to the people of Israel; and he said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: I led you up from Egypt, and brought you out of the house of bondage;

rsv@Judges:6:9 @ and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out before you, and gave you their land;

rsv@Judges:6:10 @ and I said to you, `I am the LORD your God; you shall not pay reverence to the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.' But you have not given heed to my voice."

rsv@Judges:6:11 @ Now the angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak at Ophrah, which belonged to Jo'ash the Abiez'rite, as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Mid'ianites.

rsv@Judges:6:12 @ And the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, "The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor."

rsv@Judges:6:13 @ And Gideon said to him, "Pray, sir, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this befallen us? And where are all his wonderful deeds which our fathers recounted to us, saying, `Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has cast us off, and given us into the hand of Mid'ian."

rsv@Judges:6:14 @ And the LORD turned to him and said, "Go in this might of yours and deliver Israel from the hand of Mid'ian; do not I send you?"

rsv@Judges:6:19 @ So Gideon went into his house and prepared a kid, and unleavened cakes from an ephah of flour; the meat he put in a basket, and the broth he put in a pot, and brought them to him under the oak and presented them.

rsv@Judges:6:20 @ And the angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and put them on this rock, and pour the broth over them." And he did so.

rsv@Judges:6:21 @ Then the angel of the LORD reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes; and there sprang up fire from the rock and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of the LORD vanished from his sight.

rsv@Judges:6:22 @ Then Gideon perceived that he was the angel of the LORD; and Gideon said, "Alas, O Lord GOD! For now I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face."

rsv@Judges:6:24 @ Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it, The LORD is peace. To this day it still stands at Ophrah, which belongs to the Abiez'rites.

rsv@Judges:6:28 @ When the men of the town rose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Ba'al was broken down, and the Ashe'rah beside it was cut down, and the second bull was offered upon the altar which had been built.

rsv@Judges:6:29 @ And they said to one another, "Who has done this thing?" And after they had made search and inquired, they said, "Gideon the son of Jo'ash has done this thing."

rsv@Judges:6:30 @ Then the men of the town said to Jo'ash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has pulled down the altar of Ba'al and cut down the Ashe'rah beside it."

rsv@Judges:6:31 @ But Jo'ash said to all who were arrayed against him, "Will you contend for Ba'al? Or will you defend his cause? Whoever contends for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because his altar has been pulled down."

rsv@Judges:6:32 @ Therefore on that day he was called Jerubba'al, that is to say, "Let Ba'al contend against him," because he pulled down his altar.

rsv@Judges:6:33 @ Then all the Mid'ianites and the Amal'ekites and the people of the East came together, and crossing the Jordan they encamped in the Valley of Jezreel.

rsv@Judges:6:34 @ But the Spirit of the LORD took possession of Gideon; and he sounded the trumpet, and the Abiez'rites were called out to follow him.

rsv@Judges:6:35 @ And he sent messengers throughout all Manas'seh; and they too were called out to follow him. And he sent messengers to Asher, Zeb'ulun, and Naph'tali; and they went up to meet them.

rsv@Judges:6:38 @ And it was so. When he rose early next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water.

rsv@Judges:7:1 @ Then Jerubba'al (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the spring of Harod; and the camp of Mid'ian was north of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.

rsv@Judges:7:2 @ The LORD said to Gideon, "The people with you are too many for me to give the Mid'ianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, `My own hand has delivered me.'

rsv@Judges:7:3 @ Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, `Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return home.'" And Gideon tested them; twenty-two thousand returned, and ten thousand remained.

rsv@Judges:7:6 @ And the number of those that lapped, putting their hands to their mouths, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people knelt down to drink water.

rsv@Judges:7:7 @ And the LORD said to Gideon, "With the three hundred men that lapped I will deliver you, and give the Mid'ianites into your hand; and let all the others go every man to his home."

rsv@Judges:7:8 @ So he took the jars of the people from their hands, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Mid'ian was below him in the valley.

rsv@Judges:7:11 @ and you shall hear what they say, and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp." Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outposts of the armed men that were in the camp.

rsv@Judges:7:13 @ When Gideon came, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade; and he said, "Behold, I dreamed a dream; and lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Mid'ian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat."

rsv@Judges:7:14 @ And his comrade answered, "This is no other than the sword of Gideon the son of Jo'ash, a man of Israel; into his hand God has given Mid'ian and all the host."

rsv@Judges:7:15 @ When Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped; and he returned to the camp of Israel, and said, "Arise; for the LORD has given the host of Mid'ian into your hand."

rsv@Judges:7:16 @ And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put trumpets into the hands of all of them and empty jars, with torches inside the jars.

rsv@Judges:7:19 @ So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just set the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands.

rsv@Judges:7:20 @ And the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the jars, holding in their left hands the torches, and in their right hands the trumpets to blow; and they cried, "A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!"

rsv@Judges:7:21 @ They stood every man in his place round about the camp, and all the army ran; they cried out and fled.

rsv@Judges:7:22 @ When they blew the three hundred trumpets, the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow and against all the army; and the army fled as far as Beth-shit'tah toward Zer'erah, as far as the border of A'bel-meho'lah, by Tabbath.

rsv@Judges:7:23 @ And the men of Israel were called out from Naph'tali and from Asher and from all Manas'seh, and they pursued after Mid'ian.

rsv@Judges:7:24 @ And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of E'phraim, saying, "Come down against the Mid'ianites and seize the waters against them, as far as Beth-bar'ah, and also the Jordan." So all the men of E'phraim were called out, and they seized the waters as far as Beth-bar'ah, and also the Jordan.

rsv@Judges:7:25 @ And they took the two princes of Mid'ian, Oreb and Zeeb; they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the wine press of Zeeb, as they pursued Mid'ian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.

rsv@Judges:8:1 @ And the men of E'phraim said to him, "What is this that you have done to us, not to call us when you went to fight with Mid'ian?" And they upbraided him violently.

rsv@Judges:8:3 @ God has given into your hands the princes of Mid'ian, Oreb and Zeeb; what have I been able to do in comparison with you?" Then their anger against him was abated, when he had said this.

rsv@Judges:8:4 @ And Gideon came to the Jordan and passed over, he and the three hundred men who were with him, faint yet pursuing.

rsv@Judges:8:8 @ And from there he went up to Penu'el, and spoke to them in the same way; and the men of Penu'el answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.

rsv@Judges:8:10 @ Now Zebah and Zalmun'na were in Karkor with their army, about fifteen thousand men, all who were left of all the army of the people of the East; for there had fallen a hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword.

rsv@Judges:8:11 @ And Gideon went up by the caravan route east of Nobah and Jog'behah, and attacked the army; for the army was off its guard.

rsv@Judges:8:12 @ And Zebah and Zalmun'na fled; and he pursued them and took the two kings of Mid'ian, Zebah and Zalmun'na, and he threw all the army into a panic.

rsv@Judges:8:13 @ Then Gideon the son of Jo'ash returned from the battle by the ascent of Heres.

rsv@Judges:8:14 @ And he caught a young man of Succoth, and questioned him; and he wrote down for him the officials and elders of Succoth, seventy-seven men.

rsv@Judges:8:15 @ And he came to the men of Succoth, and said, "Behold Zebah and Zalmun'na, about whom you taunted me, saying, `Are Zebah and Zalmun'na already in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who are faint?'"

rsv@Judges:8:18 @ Then he said to Zebah and Zalmun'na, "Where are the men whom you slew at Tabor?" They answered, "As you are, so were they, every one of them; they resembled the sons of a king."

rsv@Judges:8:19 @ And he said, "They were my brothers, the sons of my mother; as the LORD lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not slay you."

rsv@Judges:8:22 @ Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, you and your son and your grandson also; for you have delivered us out of the hand of Mid'ian."

rsv@Judges:8:25 @ And they answered, "We will willingly give them." And they spread a garment, and every man cast in it the earrings of his spoil.

rsv@Judges:8:26 @ And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the crescents and the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Mid'ian, and besides the collars that were about the necks of their camels.

rsv@Judges:8:27 @ And Gideon made an ephod of it and put it in his city, in Ophrah; and all Israel played the harlot after it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and to his family.

rsv@Judges:8:28 @ So Mid'ian was subdued before the people of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.

rsv@Judges:8:31 @ And his concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he called his name Abim'elech.

rsv@Judges:8:32 @ And Gideon the son of Jo'ash died in a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Jo'ash his father, at Ophrah of the Abiez'rites.

rsv@Judges:8:33 @ As soon as Gideon died, the people of Israel turned again and played the harlot after the Ba'als, and made Ba'al-be'rith their god.

rsv@Judges:8:34 @ And the people of Israel did not remember the LORD their God, who had rescued them from the hand of all their enemies on every side;

rsv@Judges:9:3 @ And his mother's kinsmen spoke all these words on his behalf in the ears of all the men of Shechem; and their hearts inclined to follow Abim'elech, for they said, "He is our brother."

rsv@Judges:9:4 @ And they gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Ba'al-be'rith with which Abim'elech hired worthless and reckless fellows, who followed him.

rsv@Judges:9:7 @ When it was told to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Ger'izim, and cried aloud and said to them, "Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.

rsv@Judges:9:9 @ But the olive tree said to them, `Shall I leave my fatness, by which gods and men are honored, and go to sway over the trees?'

rsv@Judges:9:15 @ And the bramble said to the trees, `If in good faith you are anointing me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, let fire come out of the bramble and devour the cedars of Lebanon.'

rsv@Judges:9:16 @ "Now therefore, if you acted in good faith and honor when you made Abim'elech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubba'al and his house, and have done to him as his deeds deserved--

rsv@Judges:9:17 @ for my father fought for you, and risked his life, and rescued you from the hand of Mid'ian;

rsv@Judges:9:19 @ if you then have acted in good faith and honor with Jerubba'al and with his house this day, then rejoice in Abim'elech, and let him also rejoice in you;

rsv@Judges:9:21 @ And Jotham ran away and fled, and went to Beer and dwelt there, for fear of Abim'elech his brother.

rsv@Judges:9:22 @ Abim'elech ruled over Israel three years.

rsv@Judges:9:24 @ that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubba'al might come and their blood be laid upon Abim'elech their brother, who slew them, and upon the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to slay his brothers.

rsv@Judges:9:25 @ And the men of Shechem put men in ambush against him on the mountain tops, and they robbed all who passed by them along that way; and it was told Abim'elech.

rsv@Judges:9:26 @ And Ga'al the son of Ebed moved into Shechem with his kinsmen; and the men of Shechem put confidence in him.

rsv@Judges:9:27 @ And they went out into the field, and gathered the grapes from their vineyards and trod them, and held festival, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank and reviled Abim'elech.

rsv@Judges:9:28 @ And Ga'al the son of Ebed said, "Who is Abim'elech, and who are we of Shechem, that we should serve him? Did not the son of Jerubba'al and Zebul his officer serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem? Why then should we serve him?

rsv@Judges:9:30 @ When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Ga'al the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.

rsv@Judges:9:31 @ And he sent messengers to Abim'elech at Aru'mah, saying, "Behold, Ga'al the son of Ebed and his kinsmen have come to Shechem, and they are stirring up the city against you.

rsv@Judges:9:35 @ And Ga'al the son of Ebed went out and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city; and Abim'elech and the men that were with him rose from the ambush.

rsv@Judges:9:38 @ Then Zebul said to him, "Where is your mouth now, you who said, `Who is Abim'elech, that we should serve him?' Are not these the men whom you despised? Go out now and fight with them."

rsv@Judges:9:40 @ And Abim'elech chased him, and he fled before him; and many fell wounded, up to the entrance of the gate.

rsv@Judges:9:43 @ He took his men and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the fields; and he looked and saw the men coming out of the city, and he rose against them and slew them.

rsv@Judges:9:44 @ Abim'elech and the company that was with him rushed forward and stood at the entrance of the gate of the city, while the two companies rushed upon all who were in the fields and slew them.

rsv@Judges:9:45 @ And Abim'elech fought against the city all that day; he took the city, and killed the people that were in it; and he razed the city and sowed it with salt.

rsv@Judges:9:46 @ When all the people of the Tower of Shechem heard of it, they entered the stronghold of the house of El-be'rith.

rsv@Judges:9:47 @ Abim'elech was told that all the people of the Tower of Shechem were gathered together.

rsv@Judges:9:49 @ So every one of the people cut down his bundle and following Abim'elech put it against the stronghold, and they set the stronghold on fire over them, so that all the people of the Tower of Shechem also died, about a thousand men and women.

rsv@Judges:9:50 @ Then Abim'elech went to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.

rsv@Judges:9:51 @ But there was a strong tower within the city, and all the people of the city fled to it, all the men and women, and shut themselves in; and they went to the roof of the tower.

rsv@Judges:9:53 @ And a certain woman threw an upper millstone upon Abim'elech's head, and crushed his skull.

rsv@Judges:9:54 @ Then he called hastily to the young man his armor-bearer, and said to him, "Draw your sword and kill me, lest men say of me, `A woman killed him.'" And his young man thrust him through, and he died.

rsv@Judges:9:55 @ And when the men of Israel saw that Abim'elech was dead, they departed every man to his home.

rsv@Judges:9:56 @ Thus God requited the crime of Abim'elech, which he committed against his father in killing his seventy brothers;

rsv@Judges:9:57 @ and God also made all the wickedness of the men of Shechem fall back upon their heads, and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubba'al.

rsv@Judges:10:1 @ After Abim'elech there arose to deliver Israel Tola the son of Pu'ah, son of Dodo, a man of Is'sachar; and he lived at Shamir in the hill country of E'phraim.

rsv@Judges:10:2 @ And he judged Israel twenty-three years. Then he died, and was buried at Shamir.

rsv@Judges:10:3 @ After him arose Ja'ir the Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years.

rsv@Judges:10:4 @ And he had thirty sons who rode on thirty asses; and they had thirty cities, called Hav'voth-ja'ir to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.

rsv@Judges:10:5 @ And Ja'ir died, and was buried in Kamon.

rsv@Judges:10:6 @ And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Ba'als and the Ash'taroth, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook the LORD, and did not serve him.

rsv@Judges:10:7 @ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the Ammonites,

rsv@Judges:10:8 @ and they crushed and oppressed the children of Israel that year. For eighteen years they oppressed all the people of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.

rsv@Judges:10:9 @ And the Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah and against Benjamin and against the house of E'phraim; so that Israel was sorely distressed.

rsv@Judges:10:10 @ And the people of Israel cried to the LORD, saying, "We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken our God and have served the Ba'als."

rsv@Judges:10:12 @ The Sido'nians also, and the Amal'ekites, and the Ma'onites, oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.

rsv@Judges:10:13 @ Yet you have forsaken me and served other gods; therefore I will deliver you no more.

rsv@Judges:10:15 @ And the people of Israel said to the LORD, "We have sinned; do to us whatever seems good to thee; only deliver us, we pray thee, this day."

rsv@Judges:10:16 @ So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD; and he became indignant over the misery of Israel.

rsv@Judges:10:17 @ Then the Ammonites were called to arms, and they encamped in Gilead; and the people of Israel came together, and they encamped at Mizpah.

rsv@Judges:11:3 @ Then Jephthah fled from his brothers, and dwelt in the land of Tob; and worthless fellows collected round Jephthah, and went raiding with him.

rsv@Judges:11:8 @ And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "That is why we have turned to you now, that you may go with us and fight with the Ammonites, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

rsv@Judges:11:13 @ And the king of the Ammonites answered the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel on coming from Egypt took away my land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok and to the Jordan; now therefore restore it peaceably."

rsv@Judges:11:16 @ but when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.

rsv@Judges:11:17 @ Israel then sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, `Let us pass, we pray, through your land'; but the king of Edom would not listen. And they sent also to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.

rsv@Judges:11:18 @ Then they journeyed through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and arrived on the east side of the land of Moab, and camped on the other side of the Arnon; but they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary of Moab.

rsv@Judges:11:20 @ But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory; so Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped at Jahaz, and fought with Israel.

rsv@Judges:11:21 @ And the LORD, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them; so Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites, who inhabited that country.

rsv@Judges:11:23 @ So then the LORD, the God of Israel, dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel; and are you to take possession of them?

rsv@Judges:11:24 @ Will you not possess what Chemosh your god gives you to possess? And all that the LORD our God has dispossessed before us, we will possess.

rsv@Judges:11:26 @ While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aro'er and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, three hundred years, why did you not recover them within that time?

rsv@Judges:11:27 @ I therefore have not sinned against you, and you do me wrong by making war on me; the LORD, the Judge, decide this day between the people of Israel and the people of Ammon."

rsv@Judges:11:28 @ But the king of the Ammonites did not heed the message of Jephthah which he sent to him.

rsv@Judges:11:29 @ Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manas'seh, and passed on to Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed on to the Ammonites.

rsv@Judges:11:32 @ So Jephthah crossed over to the Ammonites to fight against them; and the LORD gave them into his hand.

rsv@Judges:11:33 @ And he smote them from Aro'er to the neighborhood of Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel-keramim, with a very great slaughter. So the Ammonites were subdued before the people of Israel.

rsv@Judges:11:35 @ And when he saw her, he rent his clothes, and said, "Alas, my daughter! you have brought me very low, and you have become the cause of great trouble to me; for I have opened my mouth to the LORD, and I cannot take back my vow."

rsv@Judges:12:4 @ Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought with E'phraim; and the men of Gilead smote E'phraim, because they said, "You are fugitives of E'phraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of E'phraim and Manas'seh."

rsv@Judges:12:6 @ they said to him, "Then say Shibboleth," and he said, "Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it right; then they seized him and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. And there fell at that time forty-two thousand of the E'phraimites.

rsv@Judges:12:7 @ Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in his city in Gilead.

rsv@Judges:13:3 @ And the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, "Behold, you are barren and have no children; but you shall conceive and bear a son.

rsv@Judges:14:10 @ And his father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there; for so the young men used to do.

rsv@Judges:14:15 @ On the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband to tell us what the riddle is, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us here to impoverish us?"

rsv@Judges:14:17 @ She wept before him the seven days that their feast lasted; and on the seventh day he told her, because she pressed him hard. Then she told the riddle to her countrymen.

rsv@Judges:14:18 @ And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" And he said to them, "If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found out my riddle."

rsv@Judges:14:19 @ And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ash'kelon and killed thirty men of the town, and took their spoil and gave the festal garments to those who had told the riddle. In hot anger he went back to his father's house.

rsv@Judges:15:2 @ And her father said, "I really thought that you utterly hated her; so I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister fairer than she? Pray take her instead."

rsv@Judges:15:4 @ So Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches; and he turned them tail to tail, and put a torch between each pair of tails.

rsv@Judges:15:5 @ And when he had set fire to the torches, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burned up the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the olive orchards.

rsv@Judges:15:6 @ Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" And they said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion." And the Philistines came up, and burned her and her father with fire.

rsv@Judges:15:7 @ And Samson said to them, "If this is what you do, I swear I will be avenged upon you, and after that I will quit."

rsv@Judges:15:8 @ And he smote them hip and thigh with great slaughter; and he went down and stayed in the cleft of the rock of Etam.

rsv@Judges:15:9 @ Then the Philistines came up and encamped in Judah, and made a raid on Lehi.

rsv@Judges:15:14 @ When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him; and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the ropes which were on his arms became as flax that has caught fire, and his bonds melted off his hands.

rsv@Judges:15:15 @ And he found a fresh jawbone of an ass, and put out his hand and seized it, and with it he slew a thousand men.

rsv@Judges:15:17 @ When he had finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ra'math-le'hi.

rsv@Judges:15:18 @ And he was very thirsty, and he called on the LORD and said, "Thou hast granted this great deliverance by the hand of thy servant; and shall I now die of thirst, and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?"

rsv@Judges:15:19 @ And God split open the hollow place that is at Lehi, and there came water from it; and when he drank, his spirit returned, and he revived. Therefore the name of it was called En-hakkor'e; it is at Lehi to this day.

rsv@Judges:15:20 @ And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.

rsv@Judges:16:2 @ The Gazites were told, "Samson has come here," and they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. They kept quiet all night, saying, "Let us wait till the light of the morning; then we will kill him."

rsv@Judges:16:3 @ But Samson lay till midnight, and at midnight he arose and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two posts, and pulled them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that is before Hebron.

rsv@Judges:16:4 @ After this he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Deli'lah.

rsv@Judges:16:5 @ And the lords of the Philistines came to her and said to her, "Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to subdue him; and we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver."

rsv@Judges:16:7 @ And Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings which have not been dried, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."

rsv@Judges:16:8 @ Then the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.

rsv@Judges:16:9 @ Now she had men lying in wait in an inner chamber. And she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he snapped the bowstrings, as a string of tow snaps when it touches the fire. So the secret of his strength was not known.

rsv@Judges:16:10 @ And Deli'lah said to Samson, "Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies; please tell me how you might be bound."

rsv@Judges:16:11 @ And he said to her, "If they bind me with new ropes that have not been used, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."

rsv@Judges:16:12 @ So Deli'lah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And the men lying in wait were in an inner chamber. But he snapped the ropes off his arms like a thread.

rsv@Judges:16:13 @ And Deli'lah said to Samson, "Until now you have mocked me, and told me lies; tell me how you might be bound." And he said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web and make it tight with the pin, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."

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

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

rsv@Judges:16:16 @ And when she pressed him hard with her words day after day, and urged him, his soul was vexed to death.

rsv@Judges:16:17 @ And he told her all his mind, and said to her, "A razor has never come upon my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I be shaved, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man."

rsv@Judges:16:18 @ When Deli'lah saw that he had told her all his mind, she sent and called the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up this once, for he has told me all his mind." Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hands.

rsv@Judges:16:19 @ She made him sleep upon her knees; and she called a man, and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him.

rsv@Judges:16:21 @ And the Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with bronze fetters; and he ground at the mill in the prison.

rsv@Judges:16:22 @ But the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.

rsv@Judges:16:23 @ Now the lords of the Philistines gathered to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, "Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hand."

rsv@Judges:16:24 @ And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, "Our god has given our enemy into our hand, the ravager of our country, who has slain many of us."

rsv@Judges:16:25 @ And when their hearts were merry, they said, "Call Samson, that he may make sport for us." So they called Samson out of the prison, and he made sport before them. They made him stand between the pillars;

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

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

rsv@Judges:16:29 @ And Samson grasped the two middle pillars upon which the house rested, and he leaned his weight upon them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other.

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

rsv@Judges:16:31 @ Then his brothers and all his family came down and took him and brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Esh'ta-ol in the tomb of Mano'ah his father. He had judged Israel twenty years.

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

rsv@Judges:17:3 @ And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, "I consecrate the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image; now therefore I will restore it to you."

rsv@Judges:17:4 @ So when he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave it to the silversmith, who made it into a graven image and a molten image; and it was in the house of Micah.

rsv@Judges:17:5 @ And the man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and teraphim, and installed one of his sons, who became his priest.

rsv@Judges:17:7 @ Now there was a young man of Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he sojourned there.

rsv@Judges:17:8 @ And the man departed from the town of Bethlehem in Judah, to live where he could find a place; and as he journeyed, he came to the hill country of E'phraim to the house of Micah.

rsv@Judges:17:12 @ And Micah installed the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.

rsv@Judges:18:2 @ So the Danites sent five able men from the whole number of their tribe, from Zorah and from Esh'ta-ol, to spy out the land and to explore it; and they said to them, "Go and explore the land." And they came to the hill country of E'phraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.

rsv@Judges:18:3 @ When they were by the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite; and they turned aside and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What is your business here?"

rsv@Judges:18:4 @ And he said to them, "Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me: he has hired me, and I have become his priest."

rsv@Judges:18:5 @ And they said to him, "Inquire of God, we pray thee, that we may know whether the journey on which we are setting out will succeed."

rsv@Judges:18:7 @ Then the five men departed, and came to La'ish, and saw the people who were there, how they dwelt in security, after the manner of the Sido'nians, quiet and unsuspecting, lacking nothing that is in the earth, and possessing wealth, and how they were far from the Sido'nians and had no dealings with any one.

rsv@Judges:18:11 @ And six hundred men of the tribe of Dan, armed with weapons of war, set forth from Zorah and Esh'ta-ol,

rsv@Judges:18:12 @ and went up and encamped at Kir'iath-je'arim in Judah. On this account that place is called Ma'haneh-dan to this day; behold, it is west of Kir'iath-je'arim.

rsv@Judges:18:13 @ And they passed on from there to the hill country of E'phraim, and came to the house of Micah.

rsv@Judges:18:15 @ And they turned aside thither, and came to the house of the young Levite, at the home of Micah, and asked him of his welfare.

rsv@Judges:18:16 @ Now the six hundred men of the Danites, armed with their weapons of war, stood by the entrance of the gate;

rsv@Judges:18:17 @ and the five men who had gone to spy out the land went up, and entered and took the graven image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, while the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.

rsv@Judges:18:21 @ So they turned and departed, putting the little ones and the cattle and the goods in front of them.

rsv@Judges:18:22 @ When they were a good way from the home of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah's house were called out, and they overtook the Danites.

rsv@Judges:18:23 @ And they shouted to the Danites, who turned round and said to Micah, "What ails you that you come with such a company?"

rsv@Judges:18:26 @ Then the Danites went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his home.

rsv@Judges:18:27 @ And taking what Micah had made, and the priest who belonged to him, the Danites came to La'ish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and burned the city with fire.

rsv@Judges:18:29 @ And they named the city Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel; but the name of the city was La'ish at the first.

rsv@Judges:19:4 @ And his father-in-law, the girl's father, made him stay, and he remained with him three days; so they ate and drank, and lodged there.

rsv@Judges:19:5 @ And on the fourth day they arose early in the morning, and he prepared to go; but the girl's father said to his son-in-law, "Strengthen your heart with a morsel of bread, and after that you may go."

rsv@Judges:19:6 @ So the two men sat and ate and drank together; and the girl's father said to the man, "Be pleased to spend the night, and let your heart be merry."

rsv@Judges:19:7 @ And when the man rose up to go, his father-in-law urged him, till he lodged there again.

rsv@Judges:19:9 @ And when the man and his concubine and his servant rose up to depart, his father-in-law, the girl's father, said to him, "Behold, now the day has waned toward evening; pray tarry all night. Behold, the day draws to its close; lodge here and let your heart be merry; and tomorrow you shall arise early in the morning for your journey, and go home."

rsv@Judges:19:10 @ But the man would not spend the night; he rose up and departed, and arrived opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). He had with him a couple of saddled asses, and his concubine was with him.

rsv@Judges:19:14 @ So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gib'e-ah, which belongs to Benjamin,

rsv@Judges:19:15 @ and they turned aside there, to go in and spend the night at Gib'e-ah. And he went in and sat down in the open square of the city; for no man took them into his house to spend the night.

rsv@Judges:19:17 @ And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfarer in the open square of the city; and the old man said, "Where are you going? and whence do you come?"

rsv@Judges:19:21 @ So he brought him into his house, and gave the asses provender; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.

rsv@Judges:19:23 @ And the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my brethren, do not act so wickedly; seeing that this man has come into my house, do not do this vile thing.

rsv@Judges:19:25 @ But the men would not listen to him. So the man seized his concubine, and put her out to them; and they knew her, and abused her all night until the morning. And as the dawn began to break, they let her go.

rsv@Judges:19:26 @ And as morning appeared, the woman came and fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, till it was light.

rsv@Judges:19:27 @ And her master rose up in the morning, and when he opened the doors of the house and went out to go on his way, behold, there was his concubine lying at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.

rsv@Judges:19:29 @ And when he entered his house, he took a knife, and laying hold of his concubine he divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of Israel.

rsv@Judges:19:30 @ And all who saw it said, "Such a thing has never happened or been seen from the day that the people of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day; consider it, take counsel, and speak."

rsv@Judges:20:1 @ Then all the people of Israel came out, from Dan to Beer-sheba, including the land of Gilead, and the congregation assembled as one man to the LORD at Mizpah.

rsv@Judges:20:2 @ And the chiefs of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand men on foot that drew the sword.

rsv@Judges:20:3 @ (Now the Benjaminites heard that the people of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the people of Israel said, "Tell us, how was this wickedness brought to pass?"

rsv@Judges:20:4 @ And the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "I came to Gib'e-ah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.

rsv@Judges:20:5 @ And the men of Gib'e-ah rose against me, and beset the house round about me by night; they meant to kill me, and they ravished my concubine, and she is dead.

rsv@Judges:20:6 @ And I took my concubine and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed abomination and wantonness in Israel.

rsv@Judges:20:10 @ and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to bring provisions for the people, that when they come they may requite Gib'e-ah of Benjamin, for all the wanton crime which they have committed in Israel."

rsv@Judges:20:11 @ So all the men of Israel gathered against the city, united as one man.

rsv@Judges:20:12 @ And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What wickedness is this that has taken place among you?

rsv@Judges:20:15 @ And the Benjaminites mustered out of their cities on that day twenty-six thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gib'e-ah, who mustered seven hundred picked men.

rsv@Judges:20:16 @ Among all these were seven hundred picked men who were left-handed; every one could sling a stone at a hair, and not miss.

rsv@Judges:20:17 @ And the men of Israel, apart from Benjamin, mustered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these were men of war.

rsv@Judges:20:18 @ The people of Israel arose and went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, "Which of us shall go up first to battle against the Benjaminites?" And the LORD said, "Judah shall go up first."

rsv@Judges:20:19 @ Then the people of Israel rose in the morning, and encamped against Gib'e-ah.

rsv@Judges:20:21 @ The Benjaminites came out of Gib'e-ah, and felled to the ground on that day twenty-two thousand men of the Israelites.

rsv@Judges:20:22 @ But the people, the men of Israel, took courage, and again formed the battle line in the same place where they had formed it on the first day.

rsv@Judges:20:23 @ And the people of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until the evening; and they inquired of the LORD, "Shall we again draw near to battle against our brethren the Benjaminites?" And the LORD said, "Go up against them."

rsv@Judges:20:25 @ And Benjamin went against them out of Gib'e-ah the second day, and felled to the ground eighteen thousand men of the people of Israel; all these were men who drew the sword.

rsv@Judges:20:26 @ Then all the people of Israel, the whole army, went up and came to Bethel and wept; they sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

rsv@Judges:20:27 @ And the people of Israel inquired of the LORD (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

rsv@Judges:20:28 @ and Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar, son of Aaron, ministered before it in those days), saying, "Shall we yet again go out to battle against our brethren the Benjaminites, or shall we cease?" And the LORD said, "Go up; for tomorrow I will give them into your hand."

rsv@Judges:20:32 @ And the Benjaminites said, "They are routed before us, as at the first." But the men of Israel said, "Let us flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways."

rsv@Judges:20:33 @ And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Ba'al-ta'mar; and the men of Israel who were in ambush rushed out of their place west of Geba.

rsv@Judges:20:35 @ And the LORD defeated Benjamin before Israel; and the men of Israel destroyed twenty-five thousand one hundred men of Benjamin that day; all these were men who drew the sword.

rsv@Judges:20:36 @ So the Benjaminites saw that they were defeated. The men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin, because they trusted to the men in ambush whom they had set against Gib'e-ah.

rsv@Judges:20:37 @ And the men in ambush made haste and rushed upon Gib'e-ah; the men in ambush moved out and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.

rsv@Judges:20:38 @ Now the appointed signal between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that when they made a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city

rsv@Judges:20:40 @ But when the signal began to rise out of the city in a column of smoke, the Benjaminites looked behind them; and behold, the whole of the city went up in smoke to heaven.

rsv@Judges:20:41 @ Then the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed, for they saw that disaster was close upon them.

rsv@Judges:20:42 @ Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel in the direction of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them, and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.

rsv@Judges:20:43 @ Cutting down the Benjaminites, they pursued them and trod them down from Nohah as far as opposite Gib'e-ah on the east.

rsv@Judges:20:45 @ And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; five thousand men of them were cut down in the highways, and they were pursued hard to Gidom, and two thousand men of them were slain.

rsv@Judges:20:47 @ But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and abode at the rock of Rimmon four months.

rsv@Judges:20:48 @ And the men of Israel turned back against the Benjaminites, and smote them with the edge of the sword, men and beasts and all that they found. And all the towns which they found they set on fire.

rsv@Judges:21:2 @ And the people came to Bethel, and sat there till evening before God, and they lifted up their voices and wept bitterly.

rsv@Judges:21:4 @ And on the morrow the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.

rsv@Judges:21:9 @ For when the people were mustered, behold, not one of the inhabitants of Ja'besh-gil'ead was there.

rsv@Judges:21:14 @ And Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Ja'besh-gil'ead; but they did not suffice for them.

rsv@Ruth:2:15 @ When she rose to glean, Bo'az instructed his young men, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.

rsv@1Samuel:1:3 @ Now this man used to go up year by year from his city to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phin'ehas, were priests of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:1:4 @ On the day when Elka'nah sacrificed, he would give portions to Penin'nah his wife and to all her sons and daughters;

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

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

rsv@1Samuel:1:7 @ So it went on year by year; as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat.

rsv@1Samuel:1:10 @ She was deeply distressed and prayed to the LORD, and wept bitterly.

rsv@1Samuel:1:11 @ And she vowed a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy maidservant, and remember me, and not forget thy maidservant, but wilt give to thy maidservant a son, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head."

rsv@1Samuel:1:12 @ As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli observed her mouth.

rsv@1Samuel:1:13 @ Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard; therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman.

rsv@1Samuel:1:17 @ Then Eli answered, "Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have made to him."

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

rsv@1Samuel:1:20 @ and in due time Hannah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Samuel, for she said, "I have asked him of the LORD."

rsv@1Samuel:1:22 @ But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, that he may appear in the presence of the LORD, and abide there for ever."

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

rsv@1Samuel:1:24 @ And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine; and she brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh; and the child was young.

rsv@1Samuel:2:15 @ Moreover, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give meat for the priest to roast; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw."

rsv@1Samuel:2:17 @ Thus the sin of the young men was very great in the sight of the LORD; for the men treated the offering of the LORD with contempt.

rsv@1Samuel:2:25 @ If a man sins against a man, God will mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to the voice of their father; for it was the will of the LORD to slay them.

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

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

rsv@1Samuel:3:4 @ Then the LORD called, "Samuel! Samuel!" and he said, "Here I am!"

rsv@1Samuel:3:5 @ and ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call; lie down again." So he went and lay down.

rsv@1Samuel:3:7 @ Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, and the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.

rsv@1Samuel:3:8 @ And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli perceived that the LORD was calling the boy.

rsv@1Samuel:3:14 @ Therefore I swear to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated by sacrifice or offering for ever."

rsv@1Samuel:3:15 @ Samuel lay until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.

rsv@1Samuel:3:16 @ But Eli called Samuel and said, "Samuel, my son." And he said, "Here I am."

rsv@1Samuel:3:20 @ And all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:3:21 @ And the LORD appeared again at Shiloh, for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:4:1 @ And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to battle against the Philistines; they encamped at Ebene'zer, and the Philistines encamped at Aphek.

rsv@1Samuel:4:7 @ the Philistines were afraid; for they said, "A god has come into the camp." And they said, "Woe to us! For nothing like this has happened before.

rsv@1Samuel:4:11 @ And the ark of God was captured; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phin'ehas, were slain.

rsv@1Samuel:4:13 @ When he arrived, Eli was sitting upon his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and told the news, all the city cried out.

rsv@1Samuel:4:14 @ When Eli heard the sound of the outcry, he said, "What is this uproar?" Then the man hastened and came and told Eli.

rsv@1Samuel:4:16 @ And the man said to Eli, "I am he who has come from the battle; I fled from the battle today." And he said, "How did it go, my son?"

rsv@1Samuel:4:17 @ He who brought the tidings answered and said, "Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has also been a great slaughter among the people; your two sons also, Hophni and Phin'ehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured."

rsv@1Samuel:4:18 @ When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell over backward from his seat by the side of the gate; and his neck was broken and he died, for he was an old man, and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.

rsv@1Samuel:4:19 @ Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phin'ehas, was with child, about to give birth. And when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed and gave birth; for her pains came upon her.

rsv@1Samuel:4:20 @ And about the time of her death the women attending her said to her, "Fear not, for you have borne a son." But she did not answer or give heed.

rsv@1Samuel:4:21 @ And she named the child Ich'abod, saying, "The glory has departed from Israel!" because the ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

rsv@1Samuel:4:22 @ And she said, "The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured."

rsv@1Samuel:5:1 @ When the Philistines captured the ark of God, they carried it from Ebene'zer to Ashdod;

rsv@1Samuel:5:6 @ The hand of the LORD was heavy upon the people of Ashdod, and he terrified and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory.

rsv@1Samuel:5:8 @ So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?" They answered, "Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath." So they brought the ark of the God of Israel there.

rsv@1Samuel:5:9 @ But after they had brought it around, the hand of the LORD was against the city, causing a very great panic, and he afflicted the men of the city, both young and old, so that tumors broke out upon them.

rsv@1Samuel:7:6 @ So they gathered at Mizpah, and drew water and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, "We have sinned against the LORD." And Samuel judged the people of Israel at Mizpah.

rsv@1Samuel:7:7 @ Now when the Philistines heard that the people of Israel had gathered at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the people of Israel heard of it they were afraid of the Philistines.

rsv@1Samuel:10:11 @ And when all who knew him before saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people said to one another, "What has come over the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"

rsv@1Samuel:10:12 @ And a man of the place answered, "And who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

rsv@1Samuel:10:13 @ When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.

rsv@1Samuel:10:17 @ Now Samuel called the people together to the LORD at Mizpah;

rsv@1Samuel:10:18 @ and he said to the people of Israel, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, `I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.'

rsv@1Samuel:10:19 @ But you have this day rejected your God, who saves you from all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, `No! but set a king over us.' Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your thousands."

rsv@1Samuel:11:15 @ So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they sacrificed peace offerings before the LORD, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

rsv@1Samuel:12:1 @ And Samuel said to all Israel, "Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all that you have said to me, and have made a king over you.

rsv@1Samuel:12:4 @ They said, "You have not defrauded us or oppressed us or taken anything from any man's hand."

rsv@1Samuel:12:5 @ And he said to them, "The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand." And they said, "He is witness."

rsv@1Samuel:14:17 @ Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Number and see who has gone from us." And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not there.

rsv@1Samuel:14:19 @ And while Saul was talking to the priest, the tumult in the camp of the Philistines increased more and more; and Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."

rsv@1Samuel:14:20 @ Then Saul and all the people who were with him rallied and went into the battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was very great confusion.

rsv@1Samuel:14:21 @ Now the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines before that time and who had gone up with them into the camp, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

rsv@1Samuel:14:24 @ And the men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul laid an oath on the people, saying, "Cursed be the man who eats food until it is evening and I am avenged on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

rsv@1Samuel:14:26 @ And when the people entered the forest, behold, the honey was dropping, but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.

rsv@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath; so he put forth the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes became bright.

rsv@1Samuel:14:29 @ Then Jonathan said, "My father has troubled the land; see how my eyes have become bright, because I tasted a little of this honey.

rsv@1Samuel:14:37 @ And Saul inquired of God, "Shall I go down after the Philistines? Wilt thou give them into the hand of Israel?" But he did not answer him that day.

rsv@1Samuel:14:39 @ For as the LORD lives who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.

rsv@1Samuel:14:43 @ Then Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." And Jonathan told him, "I tasted a little honey with the tip of the staff that was in my hand; here I am, I will die."

rsv@1Samuel:14:45 @ Then the people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great victory in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has wrought with God this day." So the people ransomed Jonathan, that he did not die.

rsv@1Samuel:14:47 @ When Saul had taken the kingship over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, against the Ammonites, against Edom, against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines; wherever he turned he put them to the worse.

rsv@1Samuel:14:48 @ And he did valiantly, and smote the Amal'ekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.

rsv@1Samuel:14:52 @ There was hard fighting against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he attached him to himself.

rsv@1Samuel:15:4 @ So Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Tela'im, two hundred thousand men on foot, and ten thousand men of Judah.

rsv@1Samuel:15:6 @ And Saul said to the Ken'ites, "Go, depart, go down from among the Amal'ekites, lest I destroy you with them; for you showed kindness to all the people of Israel when they came up out of Egypt." So the Ken'ites departed from among the Amal'ekites.

rsv@1Samuel:15:7 @ And Saul defeated the Amal'ekites, from Hav'ilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt.

rsv@1Samuel:15:8 @ And he took Agag the king of the Amal'ekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.

rsv@1Samuel:15:9 @ But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep and of the oxen and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them; all that was despised and worthless they utterly destroyed.

rsv@1Samuel:15:11 @ "I repent that I have made Saul king; for he has turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments." And Samuel was angry; and he cried to the LORD all night.

rsv@1Samuel:15:13 @ And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said to him, "Blessed be you to the LORD; I have performed the commandment of the LORD."

rsv@1Samuel:15:15 @ Saul said, "They have brought them from the Amal'ekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice to the LORD your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed."

rsv@1Samuel:15:17 @ And Samuel said, "Though you are little in your own eyes, are you not the head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD anointed you king over Israel.

rsv@1Samuel:15:18 @ And the LORD sent you on a mission, and said, `Go, utterly destroy the sinners, the Amal'ekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.'

rsv@1Samuel:15:20 @ And Saul said to Samuel, "I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, I have gone on the mission on which the LORD sent me, I have brought Agag the king of Am'alek, and I have utterly destroyed the Amal'ekites.

rsv@1Samuel:15:21 @ But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the best of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal."

rsv@1Samuel:15:23 @ For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king."

rsv@1Samuel:15:24 @ And Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.

rsv@1Samuel:15:26 @ And Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel."

rsv@1Samuel:15:27 @ As Samuel turned to go away, Saul laid hold upon the skirt of his robe, and it tore.

rsv@1Samuel:15:30 @ Then he said, "I have sinned; yet honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD your God."

rsv@1Samuel:15:31 @ So Samuel turned back after Saul; and Saul worshiped the LORD.

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

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

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

rsv@1Samuel:16:4 @ Samuel did what the LORD commanded, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, "Do you come peaceably?"

rsv@1Samuel:16:5 @ And he said, "Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD; consecrate yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice." And he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice.

rsv@1Samuel:16:6 @ When they came, he looked on Eli'ab and thought, "Surely the LORD'S anointed is before him."

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

rsv@1Samuel:16:8 @ Then Jesse called Abin'adab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, "Neither has the LORD chosen this one."

rsv@1Samuel:16:13 @ Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

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

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

rsv@1Samuel:17:27 @ And the people answered him in the same way, "So shall it be done to the man who kills him."

rsv@1Samuel:17:28 @ Now Eli'ab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eli'ab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, "Why have you come down?

rsv@1Samuel:17:35 @ I went after him and smote him and delivered it out of his mouth; and if he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him and killed him.

rsv@1Samuel:17:39 @ And David girded his sword over his armor, and he tried in vain to go, for he was not used to them. Then David said to Saul, "I cannot go with these; for I am not used to them." And David put them off.

rsv@1Samuel:18:27 @ David arose and went, along with his men, and killed two hundred of the Philistines; and David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife.

rsv@1Samuel:18:28 @ But when Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that all Israel loved him,

rsv@1Samuel:18:30 @ Then the princes of the Philistines came out to battle, and as often as they came out David had more success than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.

rsv@1Samuel:19:1 @ And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David.

rsv@1Samuel:19:2 @ And Jonathan told David, "Saul my father seeks to kill you; therefore take heed to yourself in the morning, stay in a secret place and hide yourself;

rsv@1Samuel:19:4 @ And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Let not the king sin against his servant David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have been of good service to you;

rsv@1Samuel:19:5 @ for he took his life in his hand and he slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced; why then will you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?"

rsv@1Samuel:19:6 @ And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan; Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death."

rsv@1Samuel:19:7 @ And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.

rsv@1Samuel:19:8 @ And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and made a great slaughter among them, so that they fled before him.

rsv@1Samuel:19:10 @ And Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear; but he eluded Saul, so that he struck the spear into the wall. And David fled, and escaped.

rsv@1Samuel:19:11 @ That night Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him, that he might kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, told him, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."

rsv@1Samuel:19:12 @ So Michal let David down through the window; and he fled away and escaped.

rsv@1Samuel:19:13 @ Michal took an image and laid it on the bed and put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.

rsv@1Samuel:19:15 @ Then Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."

rsv@1Samuel:19:16 @ And when the messengers came in, behold, the image was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.

rsv@1Samuel:19:17 @ Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" And Michal answered Saul, "He said to me, `Let me go; why should I kill you?'"

rsv@1Samuel:19:18 @ Now David fled and escaped, and he came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt at Nai'oth.

rsv@1Samuel:19:20 @ Then Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

rsv@1Samuel:19:21 @ When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.

rsv@1Samuel:19:22 @ Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu; and he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Behold, they are at Nai'oth in Ramah."

rsv@1Samuel:19:23 @ And he went from there to Nai'oth in Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied, until he came to Nai'oth in Ramah.

rsv@1Samuel:19:24 @ And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel, and lay naked all that day and all that night. Hence it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

rsv@1Samuel:20:1 @ Then David fled from Nai'oth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, "What have I done? What is my guilt? And what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?"

rsv@1Samuel:20:3 @ But David replied, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he thinks, `Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.' But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death."

rsv@1Samuel:20:6 @ If your father misses me at all, then say, `David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethlehem his city; for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'

rsv@1Samuel:20:7 @ If he says, `Good!' it will be well with your servant; but if he is angry, then know that evil is determined by him.

rsv@1Samuel:20:8 @ Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a sacred covenant with you. But if there is guilt in me, slay me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?"

rsv@1Samuel:20:9 @ And Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! If I knew that it was determined by my father that evil should come upon you, would I not tell you?"

rsv@1Samuel:20:12 @ And Jonathan said to David, "The LORD, the God of Israel, be witness! When I have sounded my father, about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if he is well disposed toward David, shall I not then send and disclose it to you?

rsv@1Samuel:20:17 @ And Jonathan made David swear again by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

rsv@1Samuel:20:18 @ Then Jonathan said to him, "Tomorrow is the new moon; and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

rsv@1Samuel:20:19 @ And on the third day you will be greatly missed; then go to the place where you hid yourself when the matter was in hand, and remain beside yonder stone heap.

rsv@1Samuel:20:28 @ Jonathan answered Saul, "David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem;

rsv@1Samuel:20:29 @ he said, `Let me go; for our family holds a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. So now, if I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away, and see my brothers.' For this reason he has not come to the king's table."

rsv@1Samuel:20:30 @ Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman, do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

rsv@1Samuel:20:31 @ For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the earth, neither you nor your kingdom shall be established. Therefore send and fetch him to me, for he shall surely die."

rsv@1Samuel:20:32 @ Then Jonathan answered Saul his father, "Why should he be put to death? What has he done?"

rsv@1Samuel:20:33 @ But Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; so Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.

rsv@1Samuel:20:34 @ And Jonathan rose from the table in fierce anger and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had disgraced him.

rsv@1Samuel:20:37 @ And when the lad came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the lad and said, "Is not the arrow beyond you?"

rsv@1Samuel:20:38 @ And Jonathan called after the lad, "Hurry, make haste, stay not." So Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.

rsv@1Samuel:20:41 @ And as soon as the lad had gone, David rose from beside the stone heap and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times; and they kissed one another, and wept with one another, until David recovered himself.

rsv@1Samuel:20:42 @ Then Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, `The LORD shall be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants, for ever.'" And he rose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.

rsv@1Samuel:21:2 @ And David said to Ahim'elech the priest, "The king has charged me with a matter, and said to me, `Let no one know anything of the matter about which I send you, and with which I have charged you.' I have made an appointment with the young men for such and such a place.

rsv@1Samuel:21:4 @ And the priest answered David, "I have no common bread at hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women."

rsv@1Samuel:21:5 @ And David answered the priest, "Of a truth women have been kept from us as always when I go on an expedition; the vessels of the young men are holy, even when it is a common journey; how much more today will their vessels be holy?"

rsv@1Samuel:21:6 @ So the priest gave him the holy bread; for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence, which is removed from before the LORD, to be replaced by hot bread on the day it is taken away.

rsv@1Samuel:21:7 @ Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; his name was Do'eg the E'domite, the chief of Saul's herdsmen.

rsv@1Samuel:21:8 @ And David said to Ahim'elech, "And have you not here a spear or a sword at hand? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."

rsv@1Samuel:21:9 @ And the priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if you will take that, take it, for there is none but that here." And David said, "There is none like that; give it to me."

rsv@1Samuel:21:10 @ And David rose and fled that day from Saul, and went to A'chish the king of Gath.

rsv@1Samuel:21:13 @ So he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and made marks on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down his beard.

rsv@1Samuel:22:1 @ David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam; and when his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.

rsv@1Samuel:22:2 @ And every one who was in distress, and every one who was in debt, and every one who was discontented, gathered to him; and he became captain over them. And there were with him about four hundred men.

rsv@1Samuel:22:4 @ And he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

rsv@1Samuel:22:5 @ Then the prophet Gad said to David, "Do not remain in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah." So David departed, and went into the forest of Hereth.

rsv@1Samuel:22:6 @ Now Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Saul was sitting at Gib'e-ah, under the tamarisk tree on the height, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.

rsv@1Samuel:22:7 @ And Saul said to his servants who stood about him, "Hear now, you Benjaminites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds,

rsv@1Samuel:22:8 @ that all of you have conspired against me? No one discloses to me when my son makes a league with the son of Jesse, none of you is sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day."

rsv@1Samuel:22:9 @ Then answered Do'eg the E'domite, who stood by the servants of Saul, "I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahim'elech the son of Ahi'tub,

rsv@1Samuel:22:10 @ and he inquired of the LORD for him, and gave him provisions, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine."

rsv@1Samuel:22:12 @ And Saul said, "Hear now, son of Ahi'tub." And he answered, "Here I am, my lord."

rsv@1Samuel:22:13 @ And Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, so that he has risen against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"

rsv@1Samuel:22:14 @ Then Ahim'elech answered the king, "And who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and captain over your bodyguard, and honored in your house?

rsv@1Samuel:22:15 @ Is today the first time that I have inquired of God for him? No! Let not the king impute anything to his servant or to all the house of my father; for your servant has known nothing of all this, much or little."

rsv@1Samuel:22:17 @ And the king said to the guard who stood about him, "Turn and kill the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me." But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:22:18 @ Then the king said to Do'eg, "You turn and fall upon the priests." And Do'eg the E'domite turned and fell upon the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five persons who wore the linen ephod.

rsv@1Samuel:22:20 @ But one of the sons of Ahim'elech the son of Ahi'tub, named Abi'athar, escaped and fled after David.

rsv@1Samuel:22:21 @ And Abi'athar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:22:22 @ And David said to Abi'athar, "I knew on that day, when Do'eg the E'domite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have occasioned the death of all the persons of your father's house.

rsv@1Samuel:23:2 @ Therefore David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the LORD said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines and save Kei'lah."

rsv@1Samuel:23:4 @ Then David inquired of the LORD again. And the LORD answered him, "Arise, go down to Kei'lah; for I will give the Philistines into your hand."

rsv@1Samuel:23:5 @ And David and his men went to Kei'lah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and made a great slaughter among them. So David delivered the inhabitants of Kei'lah.

rsv@1Samuel:23:6 @ When Abi'athar the son of Ahim'elech fled to David to Kei'lah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.

rsv@1Samuel:23:8 @ And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Kei'lah, to besiege David and his men.

rsv@1Samuel:23:13 @ Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed from Kei'lah, and they went wherever they could go. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Kei'lah, he gave up the expedition.

rsv@1Samuel:23:14 @ And David remained in the strongholds in the wilderness, in the hill country of the Wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hand.

rsv@1Samuel:23:16 @ And Jonathan, Saul's son, rose, and went to David at Horesh, and strengthened his hand in God.

rsv@1Samuel:23:18 @ And the two of them made a covenant before the LORD; David remained at Horesh, and Jonathan went home.

rsv@1Samuel:23:21 @ And Saul said, "May you be blessed by the LORD; for you have had compassion on me.

rsv@1Samuel:23:25 @ And Saul and his men went to seek him. And David was told; therefore he went down to the rock which is in the wilderness of Ma'on. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Ma'on.

rsv@1Samuel:23:28 @ So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore that place was called the Rock of Escape.

rsv@1Samuel:24:1 @ When Saul returned from following the Philistines, he was told, "Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-ge'di."

rsv@1Samuel:24:6 @ He said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD'S anointed, to put forth my hand against him, seeing he is the LORD'S anointed."

rsv@1Samuel:24:7 @ So David persuaded his men with these words, and did not permit them to attack Saul. And Saul rose up and left the cave, and went upon his way.

rsv@1Samuel:24:8 @ Afterward David also arose, and went out of the cave, and called after Saul, "My lord the king!" And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance.

rsv@1Samuel:24:10 @ Lo, this day your eyes have seen how the LORD gave you today into my hand in the cave; and some bade me kill you, but I spared you. I said, `I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD'S anointed.'

rsv@1Samuel:24:11 @ See, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for by the fact that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt my life to take it.

rsv@1Samuel:24:13 @ As the proverb of the ancients says, `Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness'; but my hand shall not be against you.

rsv@1Samuel:24:16 @ When David had finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.

rsv@1Samuel:24:18 @ And you have declared this day how you have dealt well with me, in that you did not kill me when the LORD put me into your hands.

rsv@1Samuel:24:20 @ And now, behold, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.

rsv@1Samuel:25:1 @ Now Samuel died; and all Israel assembled and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah. Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

rsv@1Samuel:25:3 @ Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Ab'igail. The woman was of good understanding and beautiful, but the man was churlish and ill-behaved; he was a Calebite.

rsv@1Samuel:25:7 @ I hear that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing, all the time they were in Carmel.

rsv@1Samuel:25:9 @ When David's young men came, they said all this to Nabal in the name of David; and then they waited.

rsv@1Samuel:25:10 @ And Nabal answered David's servants, "Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who are breaking away from their masters.

rsv@1Samuel:25:11 @ Shall I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who come from I do not know where?"

rsv@1Samuel:25:12 @ So David's young men turned away, and came back and told him all this.

rsv@1Samuel:25:13 @ And David said to his men, "Every man gird on his sword!" And every man of them girded on his sword; David also girded on his sword; and about four hundred men went up after David, while two hundred remained with the baggage.

rsv@1Samuel:25:14 @ But one of the young men told Ab'igail, Nabal's wife, "Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed at them.

rsv@1Samuel:25:15 @ Yet the men were very good to us, and we suffered no harm, and we did not miss anything when we were in the fields, as long as we went with them;

rsv@1Samuel:25:17 @ Now therefore know this and consider what you should do; for evil is determined against our master and against all his house, and he is so ill-natured that one cannot speak to him."

rsv@1Samuel:25:18 @ Then Ab'igail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.

rsv@1Samuel:25:21 @ Now David had said, "Surely in vain have I guarded all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good.

rsv@1Samuel:25:23 @ When Ab'igail saw David, she made haste, and alighted from the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed to the ground.

rsv@1Samuel:25:25 @ Let not my lord regard this ill-natured fellow, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I your handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent.

rsv@1Samuel:25:26 @ Now then, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, seeing the LORD has restrained you from bloodguilt, and from taking vengeance with your own hand, now then let your enemies and those who seek to do evil to my lord be as Nabal.

rsv@1Samuel:25:30 @ And when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince over Israel,

rsv@1Samuel:25:31 @ my lord shall have no cause of grief, or pangs of conscience, for having shed blood without cause or for my lord taking vengeance himself. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid."

rsv@1Samuel:25:32 @ And David said to Ab'igail, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me!

rsv@1Samuel:25:33 @ Blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodguilt and from avenging myself with my own hand!

rsv@1Samuel:25:34 @ For as surely as the LORD the God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from hurting you, unless you had made haste and come to meet me, truly by morning there had not been left to Nabal so much as one male."

rsv@1Samuel:25:35 @ Then David received from her hand what she had brought him; and he said to her, "Go up in peace to your house; see, I have hearkened to your voice, and I have granted your petition."

rsv@1Samuel:25:37 @ And in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

rsv@1Samuel:25:38 @ And about ten days later the LORD smote Nabal; and he died.

rsv@1Samuel:25:39 @ When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the LORD who has avenged the insult I received at the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; the LORD has returned the evil-doing of Nabal upon his own head." Then David sent and wooed Ab'igail, to make her his wife.

rsv@1Samuel:25:41 @ And she rose and bowed with her face to the ground, and said, "Behold, your handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord."

rsv@1Samuel:25:42 @ And Ab'igail made haste and rose and mounted on an ass, and her five maidens attended her; she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

rsv@1Samuel:26:3 @ And Saul encamped on the hill of Hachi'lah, which is beside the road on the east of Jeshi'mon. But David remained in the wilderness; and when he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness,

rsv@1Samuel:26:4 @ David sent out spies, and learned of a certainty that Saul had come.

rsv@1Samuel:26:5 @ Then David rose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army; Saul was lying within the encampment, while the army was encamped around him.

rsv@1Samuel:26:11 @ The LORD forbid that I should put forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed; but take now the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go."

rsv@1Samuel:26:14 @ and David called to the army, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner answered, "Who are you that calls to the king?"

rsv@1Samuel:26:16 @ This thing that you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, you deserve to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head."

rsv@1Samuel:26:17 @ Saul recognized David's voice, and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O king."

rsv@1Samuel:26:19 @ Now therefore let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is the LORD who has stirred you up against me, may he accept an offering; but if it is men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day that I should have no share in the heritage of the LORD, saying, `Go, serve other gods.'

rsv@1Samuel:26:21 @ Then Saul said, "I have done wrong; return, my son David, for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day; behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly."

rsv@1Samuel:26:23 @ The LORD rewards every man for his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD gave you into my hand today, and I would not put forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed.

rsv@1Samuel:26:25 @ Then Saul said to David, "Blessed be you, my son David! You will do many things and will succeed in them." So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.

rsv@1Samuel:27:2 @ So David arose and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to A'chish the son of Ma'och, king of Gath.

rsv@1Samuel:27:4 @ And when it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, he sought for him no more.

rsv@1Samuel:27:6 @ So that day A'chish gave him Ziklag; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.

rsv@1Samuel:28:6 @ And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets.

rsv@2Samuel:10:14 @ And when the Ammonites saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abi'shai, and entered the city. Then Jo'ab returned from fighting against the Ammonites, and came to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:10:15 @ But when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.

rsv@2Samuel:10:17 @ And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and crossed the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians arrayed themselves against David, and fought with him.

rsv@2Samuel:10:18 @ And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and wounded Shobach the commander of their army, so that he died there.

rsv@2Samuel:10:19 @ And when all the kings who were servants of Hadade'zer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel, and became subject to them. So the Syrians feared to help the Ammonites any more.

rsv@2Samuel:11:1 @ In the spring of the year, the time when kings go forth to battle, David sent Jo'ab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they ravaged the Ammonites, and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:11:2 @ It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking upon the roof of the king's house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful.

rsv@2Samuel:11:3 @ And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, "Is not this Bathshe'ba, the daughter of Eli'am, the wife of Uri'ah the Hittite?"

rsv@2Samuel:11:4 @ So David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house.

rsv@2Samuel:11:5 @ And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, "I am with child."

rsv@2Samuel:11:7 @ When Uri'ah came to him, David asked how Jo'ab was doing, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.

rsv@2Samuel:11:8 @ Then David said to Uri'ah, "Go down to your house, and wash your feet." And Uri'ah went out of the king's house, and there followed him a present from the king.

rsv@2Samuel:11:12 @ Then David said to Uri'ah, "Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart." So Uri'ah remained in Jerusalem that day, and the next.

rsv@2Samuel:11:13 @ And David invited him, and he ate in his presence and drank, so that he made him drunk; and in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

rsv@2Samuel:11:16 @ And as Jo'ab was besieging the city, he assigned Uri'ah to the place where he knew there were valiant men.

rsv@2Samuel:11:19 @ and he instructed the messenger, "When you have finished telling all the news about the fighting to the king,

rsv@2Samuel:11:21 @ Who killed Abim'elech the son of Jerub'besheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?' then you shall say, `Your servant Uri'ah the Hittite is dead also.'"

rsv@2Samuel:11:23 @ The messenger said to David, "The men gained an advantage over us, and came out against us in the field; but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate.

rsv@2Samuel:11:27 @ And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.

rsv@2Samuel:12:3 @ but the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought. And he brought it up, and it grew up with him and with his children; it used to eat of his morsel, and drink from his cup, and lie in his bosom, and it was like a daughter to him.

rsv@2Samuel:12:4 @ Now there came a traveler to the rich man, and he was unwilling to take one of his own flock or herd to prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb, and prepared it for the man who had come to him."

rsv@2Samuel:12:5 @ Then David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die;

rsv@2Samuel:12:14 @ Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned the LORD, the child that is born to you shall die."

rsv@2Samuel:12:16 @ David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.

rsv@2Samuel:12:18 @ On the seventh day the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, "Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to us; how then can we say to him the child is dead? He may do himself some harm."

rsv@2Samuel:12:19 @ But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" They said, "He is dead."

rsv@2Samuel:12:20 @ Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the LORD, and worshiped; he then went to his own house; and when he asked, they set food before him, and he ate.

rsv@2Samuel:12:21 @ Then his servants said to him, "What is this thing that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while it was alive; but when the child died, you arose and ate food."

rsv@2Samuel:12:22 @ He said, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, `Who knows whether the LORD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?'

rsv@2Samuel:12:24 @ Then David comforted his wife, Bathshe'ba, and went in to her, and lay with her; and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. And the LORD loved him,

rsv@2Samuel:12:25 @ and sent a message by Nathan the prophet; so he called his name Jedidi'ah, because of the LORD.

rsv@2Samuel:12:28 @ Now, then, gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name."

rsv@2Samuel:12:29 @ So David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it and took it.

rsv@2Samuel:12:30 @ And he took the crown of their king from his head; the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it was a precious stone; and it was placed on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount.

rsv@2Samuel:12:31 @ And he brought forth the people who were in it, and set them to labor with saws and iron picks and iron axes, and made them toil at the brickkilns; and thus he did to all the cities of the Ammonites. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:13:1 @ Now Ab'salom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and after a time Amnon, David's son, loved her.

rsv@2Samuel:13:2 @ And Amnon was so tormented that he made himself ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and it seemed impossible to Amnon to do anything to her.

rsv@2Samuel:13:5 @ Jon'adab said to him, "Lie down on your bed, and pretend to be ill; and when your father comes to see you, say to him, `Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.'"

rsv@2Samuel:13:6 @ So Amnon lay down, and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Pray let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."

rsv@2Samuel:13:8 @ So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house, where he was lying down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

rsv@2Samuel:13:9 @ And she took the pan and emptied it out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, "Send out every one from me." So every one went out from him.

rsv@2Samuel:13:12 @ She answered him, "No, my brother, do not force me; for such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this wanton folly.

rsv@2Samuel:13:14 @ But he would not listen to her; and being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.

rsv@2Samuel:13:15 @ Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Arise, be gone."

rsv@2Samuel:13:17 @ He called the young man who served him and said, "Put this woman out of my presence, and bolt the door after her."

rsv@2Samuel:13:18 @ Now she was wearing a long robe with sleeves; for thus were the virgin daughters of the king clad of old. So his servant put her out, and bolted the door after her.

rsv@2Samuel:13:22 @ But Ab'salom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Ab'salom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

rsv@2Samuel:13:23 @ After two full years Ab'salom had sheepshearers at Ba'al-ha'zor, which is near E'phraim, and Ab'salom invited all the king's sons.

rsv@2Samuel:13:25 @ But the king said to Ab'salom, "No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you." He pressed him, but he would not go but gave him his blessing.

rsv@2Samuel:13:27 @ But Ab'salom pressed him until he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

rsv@2Samuel:13:28 @ Then Ab'salom commanded his servants, "Mark when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, `Strike Amnon,' then kill him. Fear not; have I not commanded you? Be courageous and be valiant."

rsv@2Samuel:13:29 @ So the servants of Ab'salom did to Amnon as Ab'salom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and each mounted his mule and fled.

rsv@2Samuel:13:32 @ But Jon'adab the son of Shim'e-ah, David's brother, said, "Let not my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king's sons, for Amnon alone is dead, for by the command of Ab'salom this has been determined from the day he forced his sister Tamar.

rsv@2Samuel:13:34 @ But Ab'salom fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, many people were coming from the Horona'im road by the side of the mountain.

rsv@2Samuel:13:36 @ And as soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept; and the king also and all his servants wept very bitterly.

rsv@2Samuel:13:37 @ But Ab'salom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammi'hud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son day after day.

rsv@2Samuel:13:38 @ So Ab'salom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

rsv@2Samuel:13:39 @ And the spirit of the king longed to go forth to Ab'salom; for he was comforted about Amnon, seeing he was dead.

rsv@2Samuel:14:1 @ Now Jo'ab the son of Zeru'iah perceived that the king's heart went out to Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:14:2 @ And Jo'ab sent to Teko'a, and fetched from there a wise woman, and said to her, "Pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning garments; do not anoint yourself with oil, but behave like a woman who has been mourning many days for the dead;

rsv@2Samuel:14:6 @ And your handmaid had two sons, and they quarreled with one another in the field; there was no one to part them, and one struck the other and killed him.

rsv@2Samuel:14:11 @ Then she said, "Pray let the king invoke the LORD your God, that the avenger of blood slay no more, and my son be not destroyed." He said, "As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground."

rsv@2Samuel:14:13 @ And the woman said, "Why then have you planned such a thing against the people of God? For in giving this decision the king convicts himself, inasmuch as the king does not bring his banished one home again.

rsv@2Samuel:14:14 @ We must all die, we are like water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; but God will not take away the life of him who devises means not to keep his banished one an outcast.

rsv@2Samuel:14:18 @ Then the king answered the woman, "Do not hide from me anything I ask you." And the woman said, "Let my lord the king speak."

rsv@2Samuel:14:19 @ The king said, "Is the hand of Jo'ab with you in all this?" The woman answered and said, "As surely as you live, my lord the king, one cannot turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has said. It was your servant Jo'ab who bade me; it was he who put all these words in the mouth of your handmaid.

rsv@2Samuel:14:22 @ And Jo'ab fell on his face to the ground, and did obeisance, and blessed the king; and Jo'ab said, "Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord the king, in that the king has granted the request of his servant."

rsv@2Samuel:14:25 @ Now in all Israel there was no one so much to be praised for his beauty as Ab'salom; from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

rsv@2Samuel:14:26 @ And when he cut the hair of his head (for at the end of every year he used to cut it; when it was heavy on him, he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head, two hundred shekels by the king's weight.

rsv@2Samuel:14:32 @ Ab'salom answered Jo'ab, "Behold, I sent word to you, `Come here, that I may send you to the king, to ask, "Why have I come from Geshur?

rsv@2Samuel:14:33 @ Then Jo'ab went to the king, and told him; and he summoned Ab'salom. So he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:15:2 @ And Ab'salom used to rise early and stand beside the way of the gate; and when any man had a suit to come before the king for judgment, Ab'salom would call to him, and say, "From what city are you?" And when he said, "Your servant is of such and such a tribe in Israel,"

rsv@2Samuel:15:3 @ Ab'salom would say to him, "See, your claims are good and right; but there is no man deputed by the king to hear you."

rsv@2Samuel:15:7 @ And at the end of four years Ab'salom said to the king, "Pray let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.

rsv@2Samuel:15:8 @ For your servant vowed a vow while I dwelt at Geshur in Aram, saying, `If the LORD will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will offer worship to the LORD.'"

rsv@2Samuel:15:11 @ With Ab'salom went two hundred men from Jerusalem who were invited guests, and they went in their simplicity, and knew nothing.

rsv@2Samuel:15:14 @ Then David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee; or else there will be no escape for us from Ab'salom; go in haste, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword."

rsv@2Samuel:15:17 @ And the king went forth, and all the people after him; and they halted at the last house.

rsv@2Samuel:15:18 @ And all his servants passed by him; and all the Cher'ethites, and all the Pel'ethites, and all the six hundred Gittites who had followed him from Gath, passed on before the king.

rsv@2Samuel:15:21 @ But It'tai answered the king, "As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, there also will your servant be."

rsv@2Samuel:15:22 @ And David said to It'tai, "Go then, pass on." So It'tai the Gittite passed on, with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.

rsv@2Samuel:15:23 @ And all the country wept aloud as all the people passed by, and the king crossed the brook Kidron, and all the people passed on toward the wilderness.

rsv@2Samuel:15:24 @ And Abi'athar came up, and lo, Zadok came also, with all the Levites, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God, until the people had all passed out of the city.

rsv@2Samuel:15:29 @ So Zadok and Abi'athar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem; and they remained there.

rsv@2Samuel:15:30 @ But David went up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went, barefoot and with his head covered; and all the people who were with him covered their heads, and they went up, weeping as they went.

rsv@2Samuel:15:32 @ When David came to the summit, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent and earth upon his head.

rsv@2Samuel:16:1 @ When David had passed a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephib'osheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, bearing two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a skin of wine.

rsv@2Samuel:16:2 @ And the king said to Ziba, "Why have you brought these?" Ziba answered, "The asses are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who faint in the wilderness to drink."

rsv@2Samuel:16:4 @ Then the king said to Ziba, "Behold, all that belonged to Mephib'osheth is now yours." And Ziba said, "I do obeisance; let me ever find favor in your sight, my lord the king."

rsv@2Samuel:16:5 @ When King David came to Bahu'rim, there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shim'e-i, the son of Gera; and as he came he cursed continually.

rsv@2Samuel:16:7 @ And Shim'e-i said as he cursed, "Begone, begone, you man of blood, you worthless fellow!

rsv@2Samuel:16:8 @ The LORD has avenged upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Ab'salom. See, your ruin is on you; for you are a man of blood."

rsv@2Samuel:16:13 @ So David and his men went on the road, while Shim'e-i went along on the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him and flung dust.

rsv@2Samuel:16:14 @ And the king, and all the people who were with him, arrived weary at the Jordan; and there he refreshed himself.

rsv@2Samuel:16:19 @ And again, whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? As I have served your father, so I will serve you."

rsv@2Samuel:16:21 @ Ahith'ophel said to Ab'salom, "Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you have made yourself odious to your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened."

rsv@2Samuel:16:22 @ So they pitched a tent for Ab'salom upon the roof; and Ab'salom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

rsv@2Samuel:16:23 @ Now in those days the counsel which Ahith'ophel gave was as if one consulted the oracle of God; so was all the counsel of Ahith'ophel esteemed, both by David and by Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:17:2 @ I will come upon him while he is weary and discouraged, and throw him into a panic; and all the people who are with him will flee. I will strike down the king only,

rsv@2Samuel:17:8 @ Hushai said moreover, "You know that your father and his men are mighty men, and that they are enraged, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Besides, your father is expert in war; he will not spend the night with the people.

rsv@2Samuel:17:11 @ But my counsel is that all Israel be gathered to you, from Dan to Beer-sheba, as the sand by the sea for multitude, and that you go to battle in person.

rsv@2Samuel:17:14 @ And Ab'salom and all the men of Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahith'ophel." For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahith'ophel, so that the LORD might bring evil upon Ab'salom.

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

rsv@2Samuel:17:21 @ After they had gone, the men came up out of the well, and went and told King David. They said to David, "Arise, and go quickly over the water; for thus and so has Ahith'ophel counseled against you."

rsv@2Samuel:17:23 @ When Ahith'ophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and went off home to his own city. And he set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he died, and was buried in the tomb of his father.

rsv@2Samuel:17:24 @ Then David came to Mahana'im. And Ab'salom crossed the Jordan with all the men of Israel.

rsv@2Samuel:17:25 @ Now Ab'salom had set Ama'sa over the army instead of Jo'ab. Ama'sa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ish'maelite, who had married Ab'igal the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeru'iah, Jo'ab's mother.

rsv@2Samuel:17:26 @ And Israel and Ab'salom encamped in the land of Gilead.

rsv@2Samuel:18:8 @ The battle spread over the face of all the country; and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword.

rsv@2Samuel:18:9 @ And Ab'salom chanced to meet the servants of David. Ab'salom was riding upon his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak, and his head caught fast in the oak, and he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him went on.

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

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

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

rsv@1Kings:6:38 @ And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its parts, and according to all its specifications. He was seven years in building it.

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

rsv@1Kings:7:2 @ He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon; its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, and it was built upon three rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

rsv@1Kings:7:3 @ And it was covered with cedar above the chambers that were upon the forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row.

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

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

rsv@1Kings:7:12 @ The great court had three courses of hewn stone round about, and a course of cedar beams; so had the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the vestibule of the house.

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

rsv@1Kings:7:20 @ The capitals were upon the two pillars and also above the rounded projection which was beside the network; there were two hundred pomegranates, in two rows round about; and so with the other capital.

rsv@1Kings:7:21 @ He set up the pillars at the vestibule of the temple; he set up the pillar on the south and called its name Jachin; and he set up the pillar on the north and called its name Bo'az.

rsv@1Kings:7:22 @ And upon the tops of the pillars was lily-work. Thus the work of the pillars was finished.

rsv@1Kings:7:23 @ Then he made the molten sea; it was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

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

rsv@1Kings:7:31 @ Its opening was within a crown which projected upward one cubit; its opening was round, as a pedestal is made, a cubit and a half deep. At its opening there were carvings; and its panels were square, not round.

rsv@1Kings:7:36 @ And on the surfaces of its stays and on its panels, he carved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.

rsv@1Kings:7:38 @ And he made ten lavers of bronze; each laver held forty baths, each laver measured four cubits, and there was a laver for each of the ten stands.

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

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

rsv@1Kings:7:51 @ Thus all the work that King Solomon did on the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, the silver, the gold, and the vessels, and stored them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

rsv@1Kings:8:1 @ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers' houses of the people of Israel, before King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

rsv@1Chronicles:12:19 @ Some of the men of Manas'seh deserted to David when he came with the Philistines for the battle against Saul. (Yet he did not help them, for the rulers of the Philistines took counsel and sent him away, saying, "At peril to our heads he will desert to his master Saul.")

rsv@1Chronicles:14:1 @ And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, also masons and carpenters to build a house for him.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:2 @ And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:10 @ And David inquired of God, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Wilt thou give them into my hand?" And the LORD said to him, "Go up, and I will give them into your hand."

rsv@1Chronicles:14:11 @ And he went up to Ba'al-pera'zim, and David defeated them there; and David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood." Therefore the name of that place is called Ba'al-pera'zim.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:12 @ And they left their gods there, and David gave command, and they were burned.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:14 @ And when David again inquired of God, God said to him, "You shall not go up after them; go around and come upon them opposite the balsam trees.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:12 @ and said to them, "You are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, so that you may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the place that I have prepared for it.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:13 @ Because you did not carry it the first time, the LORD our God broke forth upon us, because we did not care for it in the way that is ordained."

rsv@1Chronicles:15:14 @ So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:15 @ And the Levites carried the ark of God upon their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:26 @ And because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:27 @ David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as also were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers, and Chenani'ah the leader of the music of the singers; and David wore a linen ephod.

rsv@1Chronicles:18:11 @ these also King David dedicated to the LORD, together with the silver and gold which he had carried off from all the nations, from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Am'alek.

rsv@1Chronicles:18:13 @ And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the E'domites became David's servants. And the LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.

rsv@1Chronicles:18:14 @ So David reigned over all Israel; and he administered justice and equity to all his people.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:1 @ Now after this Nahash the king of the Ammonites died, and his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:4 @ So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, at their hips, and sent them away;

rsv@1Chronicles:19:5 @ and they departed. When David was told concerning the men, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Remain at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."

rsv@1Chronicles:19:7 @ They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and the king of Ma'acah with his army, who came and encamped before Med'eba. And the Ammonites were mustered from their cities and came to battle.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:10 @ When Jo'ab saw that the battle was set against him both in front and in the rear, he chose some of the picked men of Israel, and arrayed them against the Syrians;

rsv@1Chronicles:19:11 @ the rest of his men he put in the charge of Abi'shai his brother, and they were arrayed against the Ammonites.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:14 @ So Jo'ab and the people who were with him drew near before the Syrians for battle; and they fled before him.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:15 @ And when the Ammonites saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abi'shai, Jo'ab's brother, and entered the city. Then Jo'ab came to Jerusalem.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:16 @ But when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the Euphra'tes, with Shophach the commander of the army of Hadade'zer at their head.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:17 @ And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and crossed the Jordan, and came to them, and drew up his forces against them. And when David set the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:18 @ And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand foot soldiers, and killed also Shophach the commander of their army.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:19 @ And when the servants of Hadade'zer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and became subject to him. So the Syrians were not willing to help the Ammonites any more.

rsv@1Chronicles:20:1 @ In the spring of the year, the time when kings go forth to battle, Jo'ab led out the army, and ravaged the country of the Ammonites, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. And Jo'ab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.

rsv@1Chronicles:20:2 @ And David took the crown of their king from his head; he found that it weighed a talent of gold, and in it was a precious stone; and it was placed on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount.

rsv@1Chronicles:20:3 @ And he brought forth the people who were in it, and set them to labor with saws and iron picks and axes; and thus David did to all the cities of the Ammonites. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

rsv@1Chronicles:20:4 @ And after this there arose war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sib'becai the Hu'shathite slew Sip'pai, who was one of the descendants of the giants; and the Philistines were subdued.

rsv@1Chronicles:20:6 @ And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was descended from the giants.

rsv@1Chronicles:20:7 @ And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shim'e-a, David's brother, slew him.

rsv@1Chronicles:20:8 @ These were descended from the giants in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:1 @ Satan stood up against Israel, and incited David to number Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:3 @ But Jo'ab said, "May the LORD add to his people a hundred times as many as they are! Are they not, my lord the king, all of them my lord's servants? Why then should my lord require this? Why should he bring guilt upon Israel?"

rsv@1Chronicles:21:4 @ But the king's word prevailed against Jo'ab. So Jo'ab departed and went throughout all Israel, and came back to Jerusalem.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:5 @ And Jo'ab gave the sum of the numbering of the people to David. In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand men who drew the sword, and in Judah four hundred and seventy thousand who drew the sword.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:7 @ But God was displeased with this thing, and he smote Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:8 @ And David said to God, "I have sinned greatly in that I have done this thing. But now, I pray thee, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly."

rsv@1Chronicles:21:15 @ And God sent the angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; but when he was about to destroy it, the LORD saw, and he repented of the evil; and he said to the destroying angel, "It is enough; now stay your hand." And the angel of the LORD was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jeb'usite.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:16 @ And David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, and in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:17 @ And David said to God, "Was it not I who gave command to number the people? It is I who have sinned and done very wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be against me and against my father's house; but let not the plague be upon thy people."

rsv@1Chronicles:21:18 @ Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David that David should go up and rear an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jeb'usite.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:20 @ Now Ornan was threshing wheat; he turned and saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him hid themselves.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:21 @ As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David and went forth from the threshing floor, and did obeisance to David with his face to the ground.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:22 @ And David said to Ornan, "Give me the site of the threshing floor that I may build on it an altar to the LORD--give it to me at its full price--that the plague may be averted from the people."

rsv@1Chronicles:21:23 @ Then Ornan said to David, "Take it; and let my lord the king do what seems good to him; see, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for a cereal offering. I give it all."

rsv@1Chronicles:21:25 @ So David paid Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the site.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:26 @ And David built there an altar to the LORD and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD, and he answered him with fire from heaven upon the altar of burnt offering.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:27 @ Then the LORD commanded the angel; and he put his sword back into its sheath.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:28 @ At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jeb'usite, he made his sacrifices there.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:2 @ David commanded to gather together the aliens who were in the land of Israel, and he set stonecutters to prepare dressed stones for building the house of God.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:3 @ David also provided great stores of iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for clamps, as well as bronze in quantities beyond weighing,

rsv@1Chronicles:22:4 @ and cedar timbers without number; for the Sido'nians and Tyrians brought great quantities of cedar to David.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:5 @ For David said, "Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and glory throughout all lands; I will therefore make preparation for it." So David provided materials in great quantity before his death.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:6 @ Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:8 @ But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, `You have shed much blood and have waged great wars; you shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed so much blood before me upon the earth.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:11 @ Now, my son, the LORD be with you, so that you may succeed in building the house of the LORD your God, as he has spoken concerning you.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:13 @ Then you will prosper if you are careful to observe the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD commanded Moses for Israel. Be strong, and of good courage. Fear not; be not dismayed.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:14 @ With great pains I have provided for the house of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, a million talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond weighing, for there is so much of it; timber and stone too I have provided. To these you must add.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:15 @ You have an abundance of workmen: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and all kinds of craftsmen without number, skilled in working

rsv@1Chronicles:22:17 @ David also commanded all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

rsv@1Chronicles:22:18 @ "Is not the LORD your God with you? And has he not given you peace on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD and his people.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:3 @ The Levites, thirty years old and upward, were numbered, and the total was thirty-eight thousand men.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:6 @ And David organized them in divisions corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merar'i.

rsv@1Chronicles:24:2 @ But Nadab and Abi'hu died before their father, and had no children, so Elea'zar and Ith'amar became the priests.

rsv@1Chronicles:24:3 @ With the help of Zadok of the sons of Elea'zar, and Ahim'elech of the sons of Ith'amar, David organized them according to the appointed duties in their service.

rsv@1Chronicles:24:4 @ Since more chief men were found among the sons of Elea'zar than among the sons of Ith'amar, they organized them under sixteen heads of fathers' houses of the sons of Elea'zar, and eight of the sons of Ith'amar.

rsv@1Chronicles:24:5 @ They organized them by lot, all alike, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both the sons of Elea'zar and the sons of Ith'amar.

rsv@1Chronicles:24:6 @ And the scribe Shemai'ah the son of Nethan'el, a Levite, recorded them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahim'elech the son of Abi'athar, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the priests and of the Levites; one father's house being chosen for Elea'zar and one chosen for Ith'amar.

rsv@1Chronicles:25:1 @ David and the chiefs of the service also set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jedu'thun, who should prophesy with lyres, with harps, and with cymbals. The list of those who did the work and of their duties was:

rsv@1Chronicles:25:2 @ Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethani'ah, and Ashare'lah, sons of Asaph, under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the direction of the king.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:7 @ They gave for the service of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:9 @ Then the people rejoiced because these had given willingly, for with a whole heart they had offered freely to the LORD; David the king also rejoiced greatly.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:10 @ Therefore David blessed the LORD in the presence of all the assembly; and David said: "Blessed art thou, O LORD, the God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:21 @ And they performed sacrifices to the LORD, and on the next day offered burnt offerings to the LORD, a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel;

rsv@1Chronicles:29:22 @ and they ate and drank before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and they anointed him as prince for the LORD, and Zadok as priest.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:24 @ All the leaders and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:25 @ And the LORD gave Solomon great repute in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:26 @ Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:27 @ The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:28 @ Then he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:1 @ Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and made him exceedingly great.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:9 @ O LORD God, let thy promise to David my father be now fulfilled, for thou hast made me king over a people as many as the dust of the earth.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:11 @ God answered Solomon, "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked possessions, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, and have not even asked long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may rule my people over whom I have made you king,

rsv@2Chronicles:1:13 @ So Solomon came from the high place at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem. And he reigned over Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:14 @ Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:15 @ And the king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stone, and he made cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephe'lah.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:17 @ They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; likewise through them these were exported to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:1 @ Now Solomon purposed to build a temple for the name of the LORD, and a royal palace for himself.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:2 @ And Solomon assigned seventy thousand men to bear burdens and eighty thousand to quarry in the hill country, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:3 @ And Solomon sent word to Huram the king of Tyre: "As you dealt with David my father and sent him cedar to build himself a house to dwell in, so deal with me.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:18 @ Seventy thousand of them he assigned to bear burdens, eighty thousand to quarry in the hill country, and three thousand six hundred as overseers to make the people work.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:1 @ Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Mori'ah, where the LORD had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jeb'usite.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:4 @ The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house; and its height was a hundred and twenty cubits. He overlaid it on the inside with pure gold.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:5 @ The nave he lined with cypress, and covered it with fine gold, and made palms and chains on it.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:6 @ He adorned the house with settings of precious stones. The gold was gold of Parva'im.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:7 @ So he lined the house with gold--its beams, its thresholds, its walls, and its doors; and he carved cherubim on the walls.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:8 @ And he made the most holy place; its length, corresponding to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and its breadth was twenty cubits; he overlaid it with six hundred talents of fine gold.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:11 @ The wings of the cherubim together extended twenty cubits: one wing of the one, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and its other wing, of five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub;

rsv@2Chronicles:3:12 @ and of this cherub, one wing, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and the other wing, also of five cubits, was joined to the wing of the first cherub.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:13 @ The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits; the cherubim stood on their feet, facing the nave.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:14 @ And he made the veil of blue and purple and crimson fabrics and fine linen, and worked cherubim on it.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:16 @ He made chains like a necklace and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:17 @ He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south, the other on the north; that on the south he called Jachin, and that on the north Bo'az.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:2 @ Then he made the molten sea; it was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:6 @ He also made ten lavers in which to wash, and set five on the south side, and five on the north side. In these they were to rinse off what was used for the burnt offering, and the sea was for the priests to wash in.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:7 @ And he made ten golden lampstands as prescribed, and set them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:8 @ He also made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. And he made a hundred basins of gold.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:11 @ Huram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Huram finished the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of God:

rsv@2Chronicles:4:16 @ The pots, the shovels, the forks, and all the equipment for these Huram-abi made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:17 @ In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zer'edah.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:31 @ Thus Jehosh'aphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azu'bah the daughter of Shilhi.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:32 @ He walked in the way of Asa his father and did not turn aside from it; he did what was right in the sight of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:1 @ Jehosh'aphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Jeho'ram his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:3 @ Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, gold, and valuable possessions, together with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jeho'ram, because he was the first-born.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:4 @ When Jeho'ram had ascended the throne of his father and was established, he slew all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:5 @ Jeho'ram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:6 @ And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done; for the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:7 @ Yet the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant which he had made with David, and since he had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons for ever.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:8 @ In his days Edom revolted from the rule of Judah, and set up a king of their own.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:9 @ Then Jeho'ram passed over with his commanders and all his chariots, and he rose by night and smote the E'domites who had surrounded him and his chariot commanders.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:10 @ So Edom revolted from the rule of Judah to this day. At that time Libnah also revolted from his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:11 @ Moreover he made high places in the hill country of Judah, and led the inhabitants of Jerusalem into unfaithfulness, and made Judah go astray.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:12 @ And a letter came to him from Eli'jah the prophet, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, `Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehosh'aphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

rsv@2Chronicles:21:19 @ In course of time, at the end of two years, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great agony. His people made no fire in his honor, like the fires made for his fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:20 @ He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem; and he departed with no one's regret. They buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:1 @ And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahazi'ah his youngest son king in his stead; for the band of men that came with the Arabs to the camp had slain all the older sons. So Ahazi'ah the son of Jeho'ram king of Judah reigned.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:2 @ Ahazi'ah was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athali'ah, the granddaughter of Omri.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:3 @ He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in doing wickedly.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:5 @ He even followed their counsel, and went with Jeho'ram the son of Ahab king of Israel to make war against Haz'ael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram,

rsv@2Chronicles:22:7 @ But it was ordained by God that the downfall of Ahazi'ah should come about through his going to visit Joram. For when he came there he went out with Jeho'ram to meet Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:8 @ And when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, he met the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahazi'ah's brothers, who attended Ahazi'ah, and he killed them.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:9 @ He searched for Ahazi'ah, and he was captured while hiding in Sama'ria, and he was brought to Jehu and put to death.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:10 @ Now when Athali'ah the mother of Ahazi'ah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family of the house of Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:26:7 @ God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabs that dwelt in Gurba'al, and against the Me-u'nites.

rsv@2Chronicles:26:9 @ Moreover Uzzi'ah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate and at the Valley Gate and at the Angle, and fortified them.

rsv@2Chronicles:26:15 @ In Jerusalem he made engines, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and great stones. And his fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong.

rsv@2Chronicles:26:16 @ But when he was strong he grew proud, to his destruction. For he was false to the LORD his God, and entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:25 @ And he stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres, according to the commandment of David and of Gad the king's seer and of Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was from the LORD through his prophets.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:27 @ Then Hezeki'ah commanded that the burnt offering be offered on the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song to the LORD began also, and the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:28 @ The whole assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:29 @ When the offering was finished, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:30 @ And Hezeki'ah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed down and worshiped.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:31 @ Then Hezeki'ah said, "You have now consecrated yourselves to the LORD; come near, bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the LORD." And the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings; and all who were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:14 @ They set to work and removed the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for burning incense they took away and threw into the Kidron valley.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:15 @ And they killed the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. And the priests and the Levites were put to shame, so that they sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:16 @ They took their accustomed posts according to the law of Moses the man of God; the priests sprinkled the blood which they received from the hand of the Levites.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:22 @ Nevertheless Josi'ah would not turn away from him, but disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, but joined battle in the plain of Megid'do.

rsv@Ezra:7:28 @ and who extended to me his steadfast love before the king and his counselors, and before all the king's mighty officers. I took courage, for the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered leading men from Israel to go up with me.

rsv@Ezra:8:15 @ I gathered them to the river that runs to Aha'va, and there we encamped three days. As I reviewed the people and the priests, I found there none of the sons of Levi.

rsv@Ezra:8:20 @ besides two hundred and twenty of the temple servants, whom David and his officials had set apart to attend the Levites. These were all mentioned by name.

rsv@Ezra:8:21 @ Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Aha'va, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a straight way for ourselves, our children, and all our goods.

rsv@Ezra:8:22 @ For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way; since we had told the king, "The hand of our God is for good upon all that seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all that forsake him."

rsv@Ezra:8:23 @ So we fasted and besought our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty.

rsv@Ezra:8:25 @ And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the offering for the house of our God which the king and his counselors and his lords and all Israel there present had offered;

rsv@Ezra:8:26 @ I weighed out into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels worth a hundred talents, and a hundred talents of gold,

rsv@Ezra:8:31 @ Then we departed from the river Aha'va on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambushes by the way.

rsv@Ezra:8:32 @ We came to Jerusalem, and there we remained three days.

rsv@Ezra:8:33 @ On the fourth day, within the house of our God, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed into the hands of Mer'emoth the priest, son of Uri'ah, and with him was Elea'zar the son of Phin'ehas, and with them were the Levites, Jo'zabad the son of Jeshua and No-adi'ah the son of Bin'nui.

rsv@Ezra:8:34 @ The whole was counted and weighed, and the weight of everything was recorded.

rsv@Ezra:8:35 @ At that time those who had come from captivity, the returned exiles, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and as a sin offering twelve he-goats; all this was a burnt offering to the LORD.

rsv@Ezra:8:36 @ They also delivered the king's commissions to the king's satraps and to the governors of the province Beyond the River; and they aided the people and the house of God.

rsv@Ezra:9:1 @ After these things had been done, the officials approached me and said, "The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands with their abominations, from the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Per'izzites, the Jeb'usites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

rsv@Ezra:9:2 @ For they have taken some of their daughters to be wives for themselves and for their sons; so that the holy race has mixed itself with the peoples of the lands. And in this faithlessness the hand of the officials and chief men has been foremost."

rsv@Ezra:9:3 @ When I heard this, I rent my garments and my mantle, and pulled hair from my head and beard, and sat appalled.

rsv@Ezra:9:6 @ saying: "O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift my face to thee, my God, for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has mounted up to the heavens.

rsv@Ezra:9:9 @ For we are bondmen; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended to us his steadfast love before the kings of Persia, to grant us some reviving to set up the house of our God, to repair its ruins, and to give us protection in Judea and Jerusalem.

rsv@Ezra:9:11 @ which thou didst command by thy servants the prophets, saying, `The land which you are entering, to take possession of it, is a land unclean with the pollutions of the peoples of the lands, with their abominations which have filled it from end to end with their uncleanness.

rsv@Ezra:9:15 @ O LORD the God of Israel, thou art just, for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as at this day. Behold, we are before thee in our guilt, for none can stand before thee because of this."

rsv@Ezra:10:1 @ While Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children, gathered to him out of Israel; for the people wept bitterly.

rsv@Ezra:10:2 @ And Shecani'ah the son of Jehi'el, of the sons of Elam, addressed Ezra: "We have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.

rsv@Ezra:10:8 @ and that if any one did not come within three days, by order of the officials and the elders all his property should be forfeited, and he himself banned from the congregation of the exiles.

rsv@Ezra:10:9 @ Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the open square before the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of the heavy rain.

rsv@Ezra:10:10 @ And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have trespassed and married foreign women, and so increased the guilt of Israel.

rsv@Ezra:10:12 @ Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, "It is so; we must do as you have said.

rsv@Ezra:10:13 @ But the people are many, and it is a time of heavy rain; we cannot stand in the open. Nor is this a work for one day or for two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.

rsv@Ezra:10:14 @ Let our officials stand for the whole assembly; let all in our cities who have taken foreign wives come at appointed times, and with them the elders and judges of every city, till the fierce wrath of our God over this matter be averted from us."

rsv@Ezra:10:15 @ Only Jonathan the son of As'ahel and Jahzei'ah the son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshul'lum and Shab'bethai the Levite supported them.

rsv@Ezra:10:16 @ Then the returned exiles did so. Ezra the priest selected men, heads of fathers' houses, according to their fathers' houses, each of them designated by name. On the first day of the tenth month they sat down to examine the matter;

rsv@Ezra:10:17 @ and by the first day of the first month they had come to the end of all the men who had married foreign women.

rsv@Ezra:10:18 @ Of the sons of the priests who had married foreign women were found Ma-asei'ah, Elie'zer, Jarib, and Gedali'ah, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jo'zadak and his brethren.

rsv@Nehemiah:1:3 @ And they said to me, "The survivors there in the province who escaped exile are in great trouble and shame; the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates are destroyed by fire."

rsv@Nehemiah:2:3 @ I said to the king, "Let the king live for ever! Why should not my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lies waste, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?"

rsv@Nehemiah:2:4 @ Then the king said to me, "For what do you make request?" So I prayed to the God of heaven.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:6 @ And the king said to me (the queen sitting beside him), "How long will you be gone, and when will you return?" So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:8 @ and a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the fortress of the temple, and for the wall of the city, and for the house which I shall occupy." And the king granted me what I asked, for the good hand of my God was upon me.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:10 @ But when Sanbal'lat the Hor'onite and Tobi'ah the servant, the Ammonite, heard this, it displeased them greatly that some one had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:13 @ I went out by night by the Valley Gate to the Jackal's Well and to the Dung Gate, and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down and its gates which had been destroyed by fire.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:15 @ Then I went up in the night by the valley and inspected the wall; and I turned back and entered by the Valley Gate, and so returned.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:17 @ Then I said to them, "You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer suffer disgrace."

rsv@Nehemiah:2:18 @ And I told them of the hand of my God which had been upon me for good, and also of the words which the king had spoken to me. And they said, "Let us rise up and build." So they strengthened their hands for the good work.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:19 @ But when Sanbal'lat the Hor'onite and Tobi'ah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arab heard of it, they derided us and despised us and said, "What is this thing that you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?"

rsv@Nehemiah:2:20 @ Then I replied to them, "The God of heaven will make us prosper, and we his servants will arise and build; but you have no portion or right or memorial in Jerusalem."

rsv@Nehemiah:3:1 @ Then Eli'ashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests and they built the Sheep Gate. They consecrated it and set its doors; they consecrated it as far as the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Tower of Hanan'el.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:4 @ And next to them Mer'emoth the son of Uri'ah, son of Hakkoz repaired. And next to them Meshul'lam the son of Berechi'ah, son of Meshez'abel repaired. And next to them Zadok the son of Ba'ana repaired.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:24 @ After him Bin'nui the son of Hen'adad repaired another section, from the house of Azari'ah to the Angle

rsv@Nehemiah:3:25 @ and to the corner. Palal the son of Uzai repaired opposite the Angle and the tower projecting from the upper house of the king at the court of the guard. After him Pedai'ah the son of Parosh

rsv@Nehemiah:3:26 @ and the temple servants living on Ophel repaired to a point opposite the Water Gate on the east and the projecting tower.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:27 @ After him the Teko'ites repaired another section opposite the great projecting tower as far as the wall of Ophel.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:28 @ Above the Horse Gate the priests repaired, each one opposite his own house.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:29 @ After them Zadok the son of Immer repaired opposite his own house. After him Shemai'ah the son of Shecani'ah, the keeper of the East Gate, repaired.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:32 @ And between the upper chamber of the corner and the Sheep Gate the goldsmiths and the merchants repaired.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:1 @ Now when Sanbal'lat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry and greatly enraged, and he ridiculed the Jews.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:2 @ And he said in the presence of his brethren and of the army of Sama'ria, "What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore things? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, and burned ones at that?"

rsv@Nehemiah:4:4 @ Hear, O our God, for we are despised; turn back their taunt upon their own heads, and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:5 @ Do not cover their guilt, and let not their sin be blotted out from thy sight; for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:6 @ So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to half its height. For the people had a mind to work.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:7 @ But when Sanbal'lat and Tobi'ah and the Arabs and the Ammonites and the Ash'dodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem was going forward and that the breaches were beginning to be closed, they were very angry;

rsv@Nehemiah:4:8 @ and they all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to cause confusion in it.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:9 @ And we prayed to our God, and set a guard as a protection against them day and night.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:12 @ When the Jews who lived by them came they said to us ten times, "From all the places where they live they will come up against us."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:13 @ So in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in open places, I stationed the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:14 @ And I looked, and arose, and said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:15 @ When our enemies heard that it was known to us and that God had frustrated their plan, we all returned to the wall, each to his work.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:16 @ From that day on, half of my servants worked on construction, and half held the spears, shields, bows, and coats of mail; and the leaders stood behind all the house of Judah,

rsv@Nehemiah:4:17 @ who were building on the wall. Those who carried burdens were laden in such a way that each with one hand labored on the work and with the other held his weapon.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:18 @ And each of the builders had his sword girded at his side while he built. The man who sounded the trumpet was beside me.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:19 @ And I said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, "The work is great and widely spread, and we are separated on the wall, far from one another.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:21 @ So we labored at the work, and half of them held the spears from the break of dawn till the stars came out.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:23 @ So neither I nor my brethren nor my servants nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us took off our clothes; each kept his weapon in his hand.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:4 @ And there were those who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tax upon our fields and our vineyards.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:5 @ Now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children are as their children; yet we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have already been enslaved; but it is not in our power to help it, for other men have our fields and our vineyards."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:11 @ Return to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive orchards, and their houses, and the hundredth of money, grain, wine, and oil which you have been exacting of them."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:12 @ Then they said, "We will restore these and require nothing from them. We will do as you say." And I called the priests, and took an oath of them to do as they had promised.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:13 @ I also shook out my lap and said, "So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not perform this promise. So may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said "Amen" and praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:14 @ Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of Ar-ta-xerx'es the king, twelve years, neither I nor my brethren ate the food allowance of the governor.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:15 @ The former governors who were before me laid heavy burdens upon the people, and took from them food and wine, besides forty shekels of silver. Even their servants lorded it over the people. But I did not do so, because of the fear of God.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:16 @ I also held to the work on this wall, and acquired no land; and all my servants were gathered there for the work.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:17 @ Moreover there were at my table a hundred and fifty men, Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations which were about us.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:18 @ Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; fowls likewise were prepared for me, and every ten days skins of wine in abundance; yet with all this I did not demand the food allowance of the governor, because the servitude was heavy upon this people.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:1 @ Now when it was reported to Sanbal'lat and Tobi'ah and to Geshem the Arab and to the rest of our enemies that I had built the wall and that there was no breach left in it (although up to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),

rsv@Nehemiah:6:2 @ Sanbal'lat and Geshem sent to me, saying, "Come and let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono." But they intended to do me harm.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:4 @ And they sent to me four times in this way and I answered them in the same manner.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:6 @ In it was written, "It is reported among the nations, and Geshem also says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel; that is why you are building the wall; and you wish to become their king, according to this report.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And you have also set up prophets to proclaim concerning you in Jerusalem, `There is a king in Judah.' And now it will be reported to the king according to these words. So now come, and let us take counsel together."

rsv@Nehemiah:6:9 @ For they all wanted to frighten us, thinking, "Their hands will drop from the work, and it will not be done." But now, O God, strengthen thou my hands.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:12 @ And I understood, and saw that God had not sent him, but he had pronounced the prophecy against me because Tobi'ah and Sanbal'lat had hired him.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:13 @ For this purpose he was hired, that I should be afraid and act in this way and sin, and so they could give me an evil name, in order to taunt me.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:14 @ Remember Tobi'ah and Sanbal'lat, O my God, according to these things that they did, and also the prophetess No-adi'ah and the rest of the prophets who wanted to make me afraid.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:15 @ So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:16 @ And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations round about us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem; for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:19 @ Also they spoke of his good deeds in my presence, and reported my words to him. And Tobi'ah sent letters to make me afraid.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:1 @ Now when the wall had been built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed,

rsv@Nehemiah:7:3 @ And I said to them, "Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they are still standing guard let them shut and bar the doors. Appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each to his station and each opposite his own house."

rsv@Nehemiah:7:5 @ Then God put it into my mind to assemble the nobles and the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written in it:

rsv@Nehemiah:7:6 @ These were the people of the province who came up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnez'zar the king of Babylon had carried into exile; they returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his town.

rsv@Esther:3:10 @ So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman the Ag'agite, the son of Hammeda'tha, the enemy of the Jews.

rsv@Esther:3:12 @ Then the king's secretaries were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and an edict, according to all that Haman commanded, was written to the king's satraps and to the governors over all the provinces and to the princes of all the peoples, to every province in its own script and every people in its own language; it was written in the name of King Ahasu-e'rus and sealed with the king's ring.

rsv@Esther:3:14 @ A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province by proclamation to all the peoples to be ready for that day.

rsv@Esther:3:15 @ The couriers went in haste by order of the king, and the decree was issued in Susa the capital. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Susa was perplexed.

rsv@Esther:4:1 @ When Mor'decai learned all that had been done, Mor'decai rent his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, wailing with a loud and bitter cry;

rsv@Esther:4:2 @ he went up to the entrance of the king's gate, for no one might enter the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

rsv@Esther:4:4 @ When Esther's maids and her eunuchs came and told her, the queen was deeply distressed; she sent garments to clothe Mor'decai, so that he might take off his sackcloth, but he would not accept them.

rsv@Esther:4:5 @ Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs, who had been appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mor'decai to learn what this was and why it was.

rsv@Esther:4:7 @ and Mor'decai told him all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of money that Haman had promised to pay into the king's treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.

rsv@Esther:4:8 @ Mor'decai also gave him a copy of the written decree issued in Susa for their destruction, that he might show it to Esther and explain it to her and charge her to go to the king to make supplication to him and entreat him for her people.

rsv@Esther:4:11 @ "All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that if any man or woman goes to the king inside the inner court without being called, there is but one law; all alike are to be put to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter that he may live. And I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days."

rsv@Esther:4:17 @ Mor'decai then went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.

rsv@Esther:5:2 @ and when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she found favor in his sight and he held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter.

rsv@Esther:5:4 @ And Esther said, "If it please the king, let the king and Haman come this day to a dinner that I have prepared for the king."

rsv@Esther:5:5 @ Then said the king, "Bring Haman quickly, that we may do as Esther desires." So the king and Haman came to the dinner that Esther had prepared.

rsv@Esther:5:6 @ And as they were drinking wine, the king said to Esther, "What is your petition? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled."

rsv@Esther:5:9 @ And Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart. But when Haman saw Mor'decai in the king's gate, that he neither rose nor trembled before him, he was filled with wrath against Mor'decai.

rsv@Esther:5:10 @ Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and his wife Zeresh.

rsv@Esther:5:11 @ And Haman recounted to them the splendor of his riches, the number of his sons, all the promotions with which the king had honored him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and the servants of the king.

rsv@Esther:5:12 @ And Haman added, "Even Queen Esther let no one come with the king to the banquet she prepared but myself. And tomorrow also I am invited by her together with the king.

rsv@Esther:5:14 @ Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, "Let a gallows fifty cubits high be made, and in the morning tell the king to have Mor'decai hanged upon it; then go merrily with the king to the dinner." This counsel pleased Haman, and he had the gallows made.

rsv@Esther:6:1 @ On that night the king could not sleep; and he gave orders to bring the book of memorable deeds, the chronicles, and they were read before the king.

rsv@Esther:6:2 @ And it was found written how Mor'decai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, and who had sought to lay hands upon King Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:6:3 @ And the king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mor'decai for this?" The king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."

rsv@Esther:6:4 @ And the king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace to speak to the king about having Mor'decai hanged on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

rsv@Esther:6:9 @ and let the robes and the horse be handed over to one of the king's most noble princes; let him array the man whom the king delights to honor, and let him conduct the man on horseback through the open square of the city, proclaiming before him: `Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.'"

rsv@Esther:6:10 @ Then the king said to Haman, "Make haste, take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mor'decai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned."

rsv@Esther:6:11 @ So Haman took the robes and the horse, and he arrayed Mor'decai and made him ride through the open square of the city, proclaiming, "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor."

rsv@Esther:6:12 @ Then Mor'decai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered.

rsv@Esther:6:14 @ While they were yet talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and brought Haman in haste to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

rsv@Esther:7:2 @ And on the second day, as they were drinking wine, the king again said to Esther, "What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled."

rsv@Esther:7:3 @ Then Queen Esther answered, "If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.

rsv@Esther:7:4 @ For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have held my peace; for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king."

rsv@Esther:7:6 @ And Esther said, "A foe and enemy! This wicked Haman!" Then Haman was in terror before the king and the queen.

rsv@Esther:7:7 @ And the king rose from the feast in wrath and went into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to beg his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.

rsv@Esther:7:8 @ And the king returned from the palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, as Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was; and the king said, "Will he even assault the queen in my presence, in my own house?" As the words left the mouth of the king, they covered Haman's face.

rsv@Esther:7:9 @ Then said Harbo'na, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, "Moreover, the gallows which Haman has prepared for Mor'decai, whose word saved the king, is standing in Haman's house, fifty cubits high."

rsv@Esther:7:10 @ And the king said, "Hang him on that." So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mor'decai. Then the anger of the king abated.

rsv@Esther:8:3 @ Then Esther spoke again to the king; she fell at his feet and besought him with tears to avert the evil design of Haman the Ag'agite and the plot which he had devised against the Jews.

rsv@Esther:8:5 @ and Esther rose and stood before the king. And she said, "If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and if the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let an order be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman the Ag'agite, the son of Hammeda'tha, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the provinces of the king.

rsv@Esther:8:6 @ For how can I endure to see the calamity that is coming to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?"

rsv@Esther:8:7 @ Then King Ahasu-e'rus said to Queen Esther and to Mor'decai the Jew, "Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows, because he would lay hands on the Jews.

rsv@Esther:8:8 @ And you may write as you please with regard to the Jews, in the name of the king, and seal it with the king's ring; for an edict written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's ring cannot be revoked."

rsv@Esther:8:9 @ The king's secretaries were summoned at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day; and an edict was written according to all that Mor'decai commanded concerning the Jews to the satraps and the governors and the princes of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, to every province in its own script and to every people in its own language, and also to the Jews in their script and their language.

rsv@Esther:8:10 @ The writing was in the name of King Ahasu-e'rus and sealed with the king's ring, and letters were sent by mounted couriers riding on swift horses that were used in the king's service, bred from the royal stud.

rsv@Esther:8:11 @ By these the king allowed the Jews who were in every city to gather and defend their lives, to destroy, to slay, and to annihilate any armed force of any people or province that might attack them, with their children and women, and to plunder their goods,

rsv@Esther:8:13 @ A copy of what was written was to be issued as a decree in every province, and by proclamation to all peoples, and the Jews were to be ready on that day to avenge themselves upon their enemies.

rsv@Esther:8:14 @ So the couriers, mounted on their swift horses that were used in the king's service, rode out in haste, urged by the king's command; and the decree was issued in Susa the capital.

rsv@Esther:8:15 @ Then Mor'decai went out from the presence of the king in royal robes of blue and white, with a great golden crown and a mantle of fine linen and purple, while the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced.

rsv@Esther:8:17 @ And in every province and in every city, wherever the king's command and his edict came, there was gladness and joy among the Jews, a feast and a holiday. And many from the peoples of the country declared themselves Jews, for the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them.

rsv@Esther:9:1 @ Now in the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's command and edict were about to be executed, on the very day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to get the mastery over them, but which had been changed to a day when the Jews should get the mastery over their foes,

rsv@Esther:9:2 @ the Jews gathered in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasu-e'rus to lay hands on such as sought their hurt. And no one could make a stand against them, for the fear of them had fallen upon all peoples.

rsv@Esther:9:3 @ All the princes of the provinces and the satraps and the governors and the royal officials also helped the Jews, for the fear of Mor'decai had fallen upon them.

rsv@Esther:9:5 @ So the Jews smote all their enemies with the sword, slaughtering, and destroying them, and did as they pleased to those who hated them.

rsv@Esther:9:6 @ In Susa the capital itself the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men,

rsv@Esther:9:10 @ the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammeda'tha, the enemy of the Jews; but they laid no hand on the plunder.

rsv@Esther:9:11 @ That very day the number of those slain in Susa the capital was reported to the king.

rsv@Esther:9:12 @ And the king said to Queen Esther, "In Susa the capital the Jews have slain five hundred men and also the ten sons of Haman. What then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. And what further is your request? It shall be fulfilled."

rsv@Esther:9:13 @ And Esther said, "If it please the king, let the Jews who are in Susa be allowed tomorrow also to do according to this day's edict. And let the ten sons of Haman be hanged on the gallows."

rsv@Esther:9:14 @ So the king commanded this to be done; a decree was issued in Susa, and the ten sons of Haman were hanged.

rsv@Esther:9:15 @ The Jews who were in Susa gathered also on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar and they slew three hundred men in Susa; but they laid no hands on the plunder.

rsv@Esther:9:16 @ Now the other Jews who were in the king's provinces also gathered to defend their lives, and got relief from their enemies, and slew seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they laid no hands on the plunder.

rsv@Esther:9:17 @ This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested and made that a day of feasting and gladness.

rsv@Esther:9:18 @ But the Jews who were in Susa gathered on the thirteenth day and on the fourteenth, and rested on the fifteenth day, making that a day of feasting and gladness.

rsv@Esther:9:20 @ And Mor'decai recorded these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasu-e'rus, both near and far,

rsv@Esther:9:22 @ as the days on which the Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month that had been turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, days for sending choice portions to one another and gifts to the poor.

rsv@Esther:9:24 @ For Haman the Ag'agite, the son of Hammeda'tha, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to crush and destroy them;

rsv@Esther:9:25 @ but when Esther came before the king, he gave orders in writing that his wicked plot which he had devised against the Jews should come upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

rsv@Esther:9:26 @ Therefore they called these days Purim, after the term Pur. And therefore, because of all that was written in this letter, and of what they had faced in this matter, and of what had befallen them,

rsv@Esther:9:27 @ the Jews ordained and took it upon themselves and their descendants and all who joined them, that without fail they would keep these two days according to what was written and at the time appointed every year,

rsv@Esther:9:28 @ that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, in every family, province, and city, and that these days of Purim should never fall into disuse among the Jews, nor should the commemoration of these days cease among their descendants.

rsv@Esther:9:30 @ Letters were sent to all the Jews, to the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasu-e'rus, in words of peace and truth,

rsv@Esther:9:31 @ that these days of Purim should be observed at their appointed seasons, as Mor'decai the Jew and Queen Esther enjoined upon the Jews, and as they had laid down for themselves and for their descendants, with regard to their fasts and their lamenting.

rsv@Esther:9:32 @ The command of Queen Esther fixed these practices of Purim, and it was recorded in writing.

rsv@Esther:10:2 @ And all the acts of his power and might, and the full account of the high honor of Mor'decai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

rsv@Job:1:1 @ There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God, and turned away from evil.

rsv@Job:1:3 @ He had seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and very many servants; so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east.

rsv@Job:1:4 @ His sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each on his day; and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

rsv@Job:1:5 @ And when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts."

rsv@Job:1:7 @ The LORD said to Satan, "Whence have you come?" Satan answered the LORD, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."

rsv@Job:1:10 @ Hast thou not put a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.

rsv@Job:1:16 @ While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you."

rsv@Job:1:17 @ While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, "The Chalde'ans formed three companies, and made a raid upon the camels and took them, and slew the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you."

rsv@Job:1:20 @ Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground, and worshiped.

rsv@Job:1:21 @ And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return; the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."

rsv@Job:2:2 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Whence have you come?" Satan answered the LORD, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."

rsv@Proverbs:30:3 @ I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.

rsv@Proverbs:30:4 @ Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name? Surely you know!

rsv@Proverbs:30:8 @ Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me,

rsv@Proverbs:30:17 @ The eye that mocks a father and scorns to obey a mother will be picked out by the ravens of the valley and eaten by the vultures.

rsv@Proverbs:31:30 @ Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:8 @ All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @ And I applied my mind to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven; it is an unhappy business that God has given to the sons of men to be busy with.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:15 @ What is crooked cannot be made straight, and what is lacking cannot be numbered.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @ I said to myself, "I have acquired great wisdom, surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my mind has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge."

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @ And I applied my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @ For in much wisdom is much vexation, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I searched with my mind how to cheer my body with wine--my mind still guiding me with wisdom--and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven during the few days of their life.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:4 @ I made great works; I built houses and planted vineyards for myself;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:5 @ I made myself gardens and parks, and planted in them all kinds of fruit trees.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @ I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces; I got singers, both men and women, and many concubines, man's delight.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @ So I became great and surpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem; also my wisdom remained with me.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @ And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them; I kept my heart from no pleasure, for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my reward for all my toil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @ Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had spent in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @ So I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly; for what can the man do who comes after the king? Only what he has already done.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @ The wise man has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness; and yet I perceived that one fate comes to all of them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ So I hated life, because what is done under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @ I hated all my toil in which I had toiled under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who will come after me;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @ and who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @ So I turned about and gave my heart up to despair over all the toil of my labors under the sun,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ because sometimes a man who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave all to be enjoyed by a man who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For to the man who pleases him God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of gathering and heaping, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:2 @ a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @ I know that whatever God does endures for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; God has made it so, in order that men should fear before him.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @ Moreover I saw under the sun that in the place of justice, even there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @ I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for he has appointed a time for every matter, and for every work.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:1 @ Again I saw all the oppressions that are practiced under the sun. And behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no one to comfort them! On the side of their oppressors there was power, and there was no one to comfort them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @ but better than both is he who has not yet been, and has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ a person who has no one, either son or brother, yet there is no end to all his toil, and his eyes are never satisfied with riches, so that he never asks, "For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?" This also is vanity and an unhappy business.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @ If you see in a province the poor oppressed and justice and right violently taken away, do not be amazed at the matter; for the high official is watched by a higher, and there are yet higher ones over them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @ But in all, a king is an advantage to a land with cultivated fields.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:10 @ He who loves money will not be satisfied with money; nor he who loves wealth, with gain: this also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @ As he came from his mother's womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil, which he may carry away in his hand.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @ This also is a grievous evil: just as he came, so shall he go; and what gain has he that he toiled for the wind,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:20 @ For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @ If a man begets a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but he does not enjoy life's good things, and also has no burial, I say that an untimely birth is better off than he.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @ For it comes into vanity and goes into darkness, and in darkness its name is covered;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:7 @ All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @ Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger than he.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @ For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money; and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:13 @ Consider the work of God; who can make straight what he has made crooked?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @ In my vain life I have seen everything; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evil-doing.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:17 @ Be not wicked overmuch, neither be a fool; why should you die before your time?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:21 @ Do not give heed to all the things that men say, lest you hear your servant cursing you;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:22 @ your heart knows that many times you have yourself cursed others.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:23 @ All this I have tested by wisdom; I said, "I will be wise"; but it was far from me.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @ I turned my mind to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the sum of things, and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness which is madness.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:28 @ which my mind has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:1 @ Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his countenance is changed.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:2 @ Keep the king's command, and because of your sacred oath be not dismayed;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @ No man has power to retain the spirit, or authority over the day of death; there is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @ All this I observed while applying my mind to all that is done under the sun, while man lords it over man to his hurt.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @ Then I saw the wicked buried; they used to go in and out of the holy place, and were praised in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @ Because sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the sons of men is fully set to do evil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @ Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @ but it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @ There is a vanity which takes place on earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @ When I applied my mind to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night one's eyes see sleep;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @ But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hate man does not know. Everything before them is vanity,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ since one fate comes to all, to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good man, so is the sinner; and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:4 @ But he who is joined with all the living has hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @ Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and they have no more for ever any share in all that is done under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:7 @ Go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already approved what you do.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @ Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For man does not know his time. Like fish which are taken in an evil net, and like birds which are caught in a snare, so the sons of men are snared at an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ I have also seen this example of wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great to me.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @ There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it and besieged it, building great siegeworks against it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @ But there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that poor man.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @ But I say that wisdom is better than might, though the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heeded.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an error proceeding from the ruler:

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @ He who quarries stones is hurt by them; and he who splits logs is endangered by them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the iron is blunt, and one does not whet the edge, he must put forth more strength; but wisdom helps one to succeed.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @ If the serpent bites before it is charmed, there is no advantage in a charmer.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @ The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is wicked madness.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Even in your thought, do not curse the king, nor in your bedchamber curse the rich; for a bird of the air will carry your voice, or some winged creature tell the matter.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @ In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:2 @ before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @ in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look through the windows are dimmed,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:6 @ before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:9 @ Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging proverbs with great care.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:11 @ The sayings of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings which are given by one Shepherd.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:14 @ For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.

rsv@Songs:1:3 @ your anointing oils are fragrant, your name is oil poured out; therefore the maidens love you.

rsv@Songs:1:5 @ I am very dark, but comely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.

rsv@Songs:1:13 @ My beloved is to me a bag of myrrh, that lies between my breasts.

rsv@Songs:1:17 @ the beams of our house are cedar, our rafters are pine.

rsv@Songs:3:4 @ Scarcely had I passed them, when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

rsv@Songs:3:6 @ What is that coming up from the wilderness, like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all the fragrant powders of the merchant?

rsv@Songs:3:11 @ Go forth, O daughters of Zion, and behold King Solomon, with the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, on the day of the gladness of his heart.

rsv@Songs:4:2 @ Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes that have come up from the washing, all of which bear twins, and not one among them is bereaved.

rsv@Songs:4:5 @ Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, that feed among the lilies.

rsv@Songs:5:7 @ The watchmen found me, as they went about in the city; they beat me, they wounded me, they took away my mantle, those watchmen of the walls.

rsv@Songs:5:8 @ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am sick with love.

rsv@Songs:5:9 @ What is your beloved more than another beloved, O fairest among women? What is your beloved more than another beloved, that you thus adjure us?

rsv@Isaiah:5:2 @ He digged it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; and he looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.

rsv@Isaiah:5:4 @ What more was there to do for my vineyard, that I have not done in it? When I looked for it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes?

rsv@Isaiah:5:5 @ And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.

rsv@Isaiah:5:6 @ I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and briers and thorns shall grow up; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

rsv@Isaiah:5:25 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he stretched out his hand against them and smote them, and the mountains quaked; and their corpses were as refuse in the midst of the streets.

rsv@Isaiah:9:15 @ the elder and honored man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail;

rsv@Isaiah:9:16 @ for those who lead this people lead them astray, and those who are led by them are swallowed up.

rsv@Isaiah:10:12 @ When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem he will punish the arrogant boasting of the king of Assyria and his haughty pride.

rsv@Isaiah:10:13 @ For he says: "By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding; I have removed the boundaries of peoples, and have plundered their treasures; like a bull I have brought down those who sat on thrones.

rsv@Isaiah:23:13 @ Behold the land of the Chalde'ans! This is the people; it was not Assyria. They destined Tyre for wild beasts. They erected their siegetowers, they razed her palaces, they made her a ruin.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:15 @ Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them.

rsv@Ezekiel:9:3 @ Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherubim on which it rested to the threshold of the house; and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case at his side.

rsv@Ezekiel:10:7 @ And a cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

rsv@Daniel:1:1 @ In the third year of the reign of Jehoi'akim king of Judah, Nebuchadnez'zar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.

rsv@Daniel:1:2 @ And the Lord gave Jehoi'akim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and placed the vessels in the treasury of his god.

rsv@Daniel:1:3 @ Then the king commanded Ash'penaz, his chief eunuch, to bring some of the people of Israel, both of the royal family and of the nobility,

rsv@Daniel:1:4 @ youths without blemish, handsome and skilful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding learning, and competent to serve in the king's palace, and to teach them the letters and language of the Chalde'ans.

rsv@Daniel:1:5 @ The king assigned them a daily portion of the rich food which the king ate, and of the wine which he drank. They were to be educated for three years, and at the end of that time they were to stand before the king.

rsv@Daniel:1:7 @ And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshaz'zar, Hanani'ah he called Shadrach, Mish'a-el he called Meshach, and Azari'ah he called Abed'nego.

rsv@Daniel:1:8 @ But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's rich food, or with the wine which he drank; therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.

rsv@Daniel:1:10 @ and the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, "I fear lest my lord the king, who appointed your food and your drink, should see that you were in poorer condition than the youths who are of your own age. So you would endanger my head with the king."

rsv@Daniel:1:11 @ Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hanani'ah, Mish'a-el, and Azari'ah;

rsv@Daniel:1:13 @ Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the king's rich food be observed by you, and according to what you see deal with your servants."

rsv@Daniel:1:14 @ So he hearkened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days.

rsv@Daniel:1:18 @ At the end of the time, when the king had commanded that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnez'zar.

rsv@Daniel:1:20 @ And in every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:1:21 @ And Daniel continued until the first year of King Cyrus.

rsv@Daniel:2:1 @ In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnez'zar, Nebuchadnez'zar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him.

rsv@Daniel:2:2 @ Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chalde'ans be summoned, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.

rsv@Daniel:2:3 @ And the king said to them, "I had a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream."

rsv@Daniel:2:5 @ The king answered the Chalde'ans, "The word from me is sure: if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be torn limb from limb, and your houses shall be laid in ruins.

rsv@Daniel:2:7 @ They answered a second time, "Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show its interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:2:8 @ The king answered, "I know with certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see that the word from me is sure

rsv@Daniel:2:9 @ that if you do not make the dream known to me, there is but one sentence for you. You have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me till the times change. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can show me its interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:2:10 @ The Chalde'ans answered the king, "There is not a man on earth who can meet the king's demand; for no great and powerful king has asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or Chalde'an.

rsv@Daniel:2:12 @ Because of this the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.

rsv@Daniel:2:14 @ Then Daniel replied with prudence and discretion to Ar'i-och, the captain of the king's guard, who had gone out to slay the wise men of Babylon;

rsv@Daniel:2:19 @ Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

rsv@Daniel:2:20 @ Daniel said: "Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever. to whom belong wisdom and might.

rsv@Daniel:2:21 @ He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;

rsv@Daniel:2:23 @ To thee, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, for thou hast given me wisdom and strength, and hast now made known to me what we asked of thee, for thou hast made known to us the king's matter."

rsv@Daniel:2:24 @ Therefore Daniel went in to Ar'i-och, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus to him, "Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will show the king the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:2:27 @ Daniel answered the king, "No wise men, enchanters, magicians, or astrologers can show to the king the mystery which the king has asked,

rsv@Daniel:2:28 @ but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnez'zar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head as you lay in bed are these:

rsv@Daniel:2:29 @ To you, O king, as you lay in bed came thoughts of what would be hereafter, and he who reveals mysteries made known to you what is to be.

rsv@Daniel:2:30 @ But as for me, not because of any wisdom that I have more than all the living has this mystery been revealed to me, but in order that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your mind.

rsv@Daniel:2:31 @ "You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening.

rsv@Daniel:2:34 @ As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it smote the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces;

rsv@Daniel:2:35 @ then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

rsv@Daniel:2:41 @ And as you saw the feet and toes partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the miry clay.

rsv@Daniel:2:43 @ As you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.

rsv@Daniel:2:44 @ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand for ever;

rsv@Daniel:2:46 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar fell upon his face, and did homage to Daniel, and commanded that an offering and incense be offered up to him.

rsv@Daniel:2:49 @ Daniel made request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel remained at the king's court.

rsv@Daniel:3:2 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar sent to assemble the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image which King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.

rsv@Daniel:3:3 @ Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces, were assembled for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.

rsv@Daniel:3:4 @ And the herald proclaimed aloud, "You are commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,

rsv@Daniel:3:6 @ and whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace."

rsv@Daniel:3:7 @ Therefore, as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, all the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the golden image which King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.

rsv@Daniel:3:8 @ Therefore at that time certain Chalde'ans came forward and maliciously accused the Jews.

rsv@Daniel:3:12 @ There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego. These men, O king, pay no heed to you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."

rsv@Daniel:3:13 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar in furious rage commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego be brought. Then they brought these men before the king.

rsv@Daniel:3:14 @ Nebuchadnez'zar said to them, "Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image which I have set up?

rsv@Daniel:3:15 @ Now if you are ready when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the image which I have made, well and good; but if you do not worship, you shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace; and who is the god that will deliver you out of my hands?"

rsv@Daniel:3:16 @ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego answered the king, "O Nebuchadnez'zar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

rsv@Daniel:3:19 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar was full of fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was wont to be heated.

rsv@Daniel:3:20 @ And he ordered certain mighty men of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

rsv@Daniel:3:22 @ Because the king's order was strict and the furnace very hot, the flame of the fire slew those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego.

rsv@Daniel:3:23 @ And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, fell bound into the burning fiery furnace.

rsv@Daniel:3:24 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar was astonished and rose up in haste. He said to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?" They answered the king, "True, O king."

rsv@Daniel:3:25 @ He answered, "But I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods."

rsv@Daniel:3:26 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace and said, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego came out from the fire.

rsv@Daniel:3:27 @ And the satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king's counselors gathered together and saw that the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men; the hair of their heads was not singed, their mantles were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them.

rsv@Daniel:3:28 @ Nebuchadnez'zar said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, and set at nought the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God.

rsv@Daniel:3:29 @ Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins; for there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way."

rsv@Daniel:3:30 @ Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego in the province of Babylon.

rsv@Daniel:4:1 @ King Nebuchadnez'zar to all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you!

rsv@Daniel:4:2 @ It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has wrought toward me.

rsv@Daniel:4:5 @ I had a dream which made me afraid; as I lay in bed the fancies and the visions of my head alarmed me.

rsv@Daniel:4:8 @ At last Daniel came in before me--he who was named Belteshaz'zar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods--and I told him the dream, saying,

rsv@Daniel:4:10 @ The visions of my head as I lay in bed were these: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and its height was great.

rsv@Daniel:4:11 @ The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth.

rsv@Daniel:4:12 @ Its leaves were fair and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the air dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.

rsv@Daniel:4:13 @ "I saw in the visions of my head as I lay in bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven.

rsv@Daniel:4:14 @ He cried aloud and said thus, `Hew down the tree and cut off its branches, strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit; let the beasts flee from under it and the birds from its branches.

rsv@Daniel:4:16 @ let his mind be changed from a man's, and let a beast's mind be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.

rsv@Daniel:4:19 @ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshaz'zar, was dismayed for a moment, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king said, "Belteshaz'zar, let not the dream or the interpretation alarm you." Belteshaz'zar answered, "My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you and its interpretation for your enemies!

rsv@Daniel:4:20 @ The tree you saw, which grew and became strong, so that its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth;

rsv@Daniel:4:26 @ And as it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be sure for you from the time that you know that Heaven rules.

rsv@Daniel:4:27 @ Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you; break off your sins by practicing righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, that there may perhaps be a lengthening of your tranquillity."

rsv@Daniel:4:31 @ While the words were still in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, "O King Nebuchadnez'zar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you,

rsv@Daniel:4:32 @ and you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; and you shall be made to eat grass like an ox; and seven times shall pass over you, until you have learned that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will."

rsv@Daniel:4:33 @ Immediately the word was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnez'zar. He was driven from among men, and ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair grew as long as eagles' feathers, and his nails were like birds' claws.

rsv@Daniel:4:34 @ At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnez'zar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives for ever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom endures from generation to generation;

rsv@Daniel:4:35 @ all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing; and he does according to his will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, "What doest thou?"

rsv@Daniel:4:36 @ At the same time my reason returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and splendor returned to me. My counselors and my lords sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and still more greatness was added to me.

rsv@Daniel:5:2 @ Belshaz'zar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver which Nebuchadnez'zar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.

rsv@Daniel:5:4 @ They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.

rsv@Daniel:5:5 @ Immediately the fingers of a man's hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand; and the king saw the hand as it wrote.

rsv@Daniel:5:6 @ Then the king's color changed, and his thoughts alarmed him; his limbs gave way, and his knees knocked together.

rsv@Daniel:5:7 @ The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chalde'ans, and the astrologers. The king said to the wise men of Babylon, "Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."

rsv@Daniel:5:9 @ Then King Belshaz'zar was greatly alarmed, and his color changed; and his lords were perplexed.

rsv@Daniel:5:12 @ because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshaz'zar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:5:16 @ But I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:5:17 @ Then Daniel answered before the king, "Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing to the king and make known to him the interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:5:19 @ and because of the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him; whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down.

rsv@Daniel:5:20 @ But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him;

rsv@Daniel:5:21 @ he was driven from among men, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules the kingdom of men, and sets over it whom he will.

rsv@Daniel:5:22 @ And you his son, Belshaz'zar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,

rsv@Daniel:5:23 @ but you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored.

rsv@Daniel:5:24 @ "Then from his presence the hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed.

rsv@Daniel:5:25 @ And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN.

rsv@Daniel:5:26 @ This is the interpretation of the matter: MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end;

rsv@Daniel:5:27 @ TEKEL, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting;

rsv@Daniel:5:28 @ PERES, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians."

rsv@Daniel:5:29 @ Then Belshaz'zar commanded, and Daniel was clothed with purple, a chain of gold was put about his neck, and proclamation was made concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:5:31 @ And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.

rsv@Daniel:6:1 @ It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be throughout the whole kingdom;

rsv@Daniel:6:3 @ Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other presidents and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:6:7 @ All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors are agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an interdict, that whoever makes petition to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

rsv@Daniel:6:8 @ Now, O king, establish the interdict and sign the document, so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and the Persians, which cannot be revoked."

rsv@Daniel:6:9 @ Therefore King Darius signed the document and interdict.

rsv@Daniel:6:10 @ When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem; and he got down upon his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.

rsv@Daniel:6:12 @ Then they came near and said before the king, concerning the interdict, "O king! Did you not sign an interdict, that any man who makes petition to any god or man within thirty days except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered, "The thing stands fast, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be revoked."

rsv@Daniel:6:13 @ Then they answered before the king, "That Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no heed to you, O king, or the interdict you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."

rsv@Daniel:6:14 @ Then the king, when he heard these words, was much distressed, and set his mind to deliver Daniel; and he labored till the sun went down to rescue him.

rsv@Daniel:6:15 @ Then these men came by agreement to the king, and said to the king, "Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no interdict or ordinance which the king establishes can be changed."

rsv@Daniel:6:16 @ Then the king commanded, and Daniel was brought and cast into the den of lions. The king said to Daniel, "May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!"

rsv@Daniel:6:17 @ And a stone was brought and laid upon the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet and with the signet of his lords, that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.

rsv@Daniel:6:18 @ Then the king went to his palace, and spent the night fasting; no diversions were brought to him, and sleep fled from him.

rsv@Daniel:6:20 @ When he came near to the den where Daniel was, he cried out in a tone of anguish and said to Daniel, "O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?"

rsv@Daniel:6:23 @ Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.

rsv@Daniel:6:24 @ And the king commanded, and those men who had accused Daniel were brought and cast into the den of lions--they, their children, and their wives; and before they reached the bottom of the den the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones in pieces.

rsv@Daniel:6:25 @ Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: "Peace be multiplied to you.

rsv@Daniel:6:26 @ I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, enduring for ever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end.

rsv@Daniel:6:27 @ He delivers and rescues, he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions."

rsv@Daniel:6:28 @ So this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

rsv@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Belshaz'zar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head as he lay in his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, and told the sum of the matter.

rsv@Daniel:7:4 @ The first was like a lion and had eagles' wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand upon two feet like a man; and the mind of a man was given to it.

rsv@Daniel:7:5 @ And behold, another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side; it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, `Arise, devour much flesh.'

rsv@Daniel:7:6 @ After this I looked, and lo, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back; and the beast had four heads; and dominion was given to it.

rsv@Daniel:7:7 @ After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible and dreadful and exceedingly strong; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

rsv@Daniel:7:8 @ I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

rsv@Daniel:7:9 @ As I looked, thrones were placed and one that was ancient of days took his seat; his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, its wheels were burning fire.

rsv@Daniel:7:10 @ A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.

rsv@Daniel:7:11 @ I looked then because of the sound of the great words which the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire.

rsv@Daniel:7:12 @ As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

rsv@Daniel:7:13 @ I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.

rsv@Daniel:7:14 @ And to him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.

rsv@Daniel:7:15 @ "As for me, Daniel, my spirit within me was anxious and the visions of my head alarmed me.

rsv@Daniel:7:16 @ I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.

rsv@Daniel:7:19 @ "Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all the rest, exceedingly terrible, with its teeth of iron and claws of bronze; and which devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;

rsv@Daniel:7:20 @ and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up and before which three of them fell, the horn which had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, and which seemed greater than its fellows.

rsv@Daniel:7:21 @ As I looked, this horn made war with the saints, and prevailed over them,

rsv@Daniel:7:22 @ until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints received the kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:7:26 @ But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be taken away, to be consumed and destroyed to the end.

rsv@Daniel:7:28 @ "Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly alarmed me, and my color changed; but I kept the matter in my mind."

rsv@Daniel:8:1 @ In the third year of the reign of King Belshaz'zar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.

rsv@Daniel:8:3 @ I raised my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram standing on the bank of the river. It had two horns; and both horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.

rsv@Daniel:8:4 @ I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward; no beast could stand before him, and there was no one who could rescue from his power; he did as he pleased and magnified himself.

rsv@Daniel:8:7 @ I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him and struck the ram and broke his two horns; and the ram had no power to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled upon him; and there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power.

rsv@Daniel:8:8 @ Then the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly; but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.

rsv@Daniel:8:9 @ Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the glorious land.

rsv@Daniel:8:10 @ It grew great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.

rsv@Daniel:8:11 @ It magnified itself, even up to the Prince of the host; and the continual burnt offering was taken away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was overthrown.

rsv@Daniel:8:12 @ And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through transgression; and truth was cast down to the ground, and the horn acted and prospered.

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

rsv@Daniel:8:14 @ And he said to him, "For two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state."

rsv@Daniel:8:16 @ And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the U'lai, and it called, "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision."

rsv@Daniel:8:17 @ So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened and fell upon my face. But he said to me, "Understand, O son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end."

rsv@Daniel:8:18 @ As he was speaking to me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me and set me on my feet.

rsv@Daniel:8:19 @ He said, "Behold, I will make known to you what shall be at the latter end of the indignation; for it pertains to the appointed time of the end.

rsv@Daniel:8:20 @ As for the ram which you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia.

rsv@Daniel:8:23 @ And at the latter end of their rule, when the transgressors have reached their full measure, a king of bold countenance, one who understands riddles, shall arise.

rsv@Daniel:8:24 @ His power shall be great, and he shall cause fearful destruction, and shall succeed in what he does, and destroy mighty men and the people of the saints.

rsv@Daniel:8:27 @ And I, Daniel, was overcome and lay sick for some days; then I rose and went about the king's business; but I was appalled by the vision and did not understand it.

rsv@Daniel:9:1 @ In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasu-e'rus, by birth a Mede, who became king over the realm of the Chalde'ans--

rsv@Daniel:9:2 @ in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years which, according to the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.

rsv@Daniel:9:3 @ Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and supplications with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.

rsv@Daniel:9:4 @ I prayed to the LORD my God and made confession, saying, "O Lord, the great and terrible God, who keepest covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments,

rsv@Daniel:9:5 @ we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from thy commandments and ordinances;

rsv@Daniel:9:6 @ we have not listened to thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

rsv@Daniel:9:7 @ To thee, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us confusion of face, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those that are near and those that are far away, in all the lands to which thou hast driven them, because of the treachery which they have committed against thee.

rsv@Daniel:9:8 @ To us, O Lord, belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

rsv@Daniel:9:9 @ To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness; because we have rebelled against him,

rsv@Daniel:9:10 @ and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God by following his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.

rsv@Daniel:9:11 @ All Israel has transgressed thy law and turned aside, refusing to obey thy voice. And the curse and oath which are written in the law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because we have sinned against him.

rsv@Daniel:9:12 @ He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against our rulers who ruled us, by bringing upon us a great calamity; for under the whole heaven there has not been done the like of what has been done against Jerusalem.

rsv@Daniel:9:13 @ As it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us, yet we have not entreated the favor of the LORD our God, turning from our iniquities and giving heed to thy truth.

rsv@Daniel:9:14 @ Therefore the LORD has kept ready the calamity and has brought it upon us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all the works which he has done, and we have not obeyed his voice.

rsv@Daniel:9:15 @ And now, O Lord our God, who didst bring thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast made thee a name, as at this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

rsv@Daniel:9:18 @ O my God, incline thy ear and hear; open thy eyes and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name; for we do not present our supplications before thee on the ground of our righteousness, but on the ground of thy great mercy.

rsv@Daniel:9:19 @ O LORD, hear; O LORD, forgive; O LORD, give heed and act; delay not, for thy own sake, O my God, because thy city and thy people are called by thy name."

rsv@Daniel:9:23 @ At the beginning of your supplications a word went forth, and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore consider the word and understand the vision.

rsv@Daniel:9:24 @ "Seventy weeks of years are decreed concerning your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.

rsv@Daniel:9:25 @ Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time.

rsv@Daniel:9:26 @ And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off, and shall have nothing; and the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war; desolations are decreed.

rsv@Daniel:9:27 @ And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause sacrifice and offering to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator."

rsv@Daniel:10:1 @ In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshaz'zar. And the word was true, and it was a great conflict. And he understood the word and had understanding of the vision.

rsv@Daniel:10:3 @ I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks.

rsv@Daniel:10:5 @ I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with gold of Uphaz.

rsv@Daniel:10:6 @ His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the noise of a multitude.

rsv@Daniel:10:7 @ And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.

rsv@Daniel:10:8 @ So I was left alone and saw this great vision, and no strength was left in me; my radiant appearance was fearfully changed, and I retained no strength.

rsv@Daniel:10:10 @ And behold, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.

rsv@Daniel:10:11 @ And he said to me, "O Daniel, man greatly beloved, give heed to the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for now I have been sent to you." While he was speaking this word to me, I stood up trembling.

rsv@Daniel:10:12 @ Then he said to me, "Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your mind to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.

rsv@Daniel:10:15 @ When he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was dumb.

rsv@Daniel:10:16 @ And behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke. I said to him who stood before me, "O my lord, by reason of the vision pains have come upon me, and I retain no strength.

rsv@Daniel:10:18 @ Again one having the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me.

rsv@Daniel:10:19 @ And he said, "O man greatly beloved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage." And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."

rsv@Daniel:10:21 @ But I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth: there is none who contends by my side against these except Michael, your prince.

rsv@Daniel:11:1 @ And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

rsv@Daniel:11:4 @ And when he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to the dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these.

rsv@Daniel:11:11 @ Then the king of the south, moved with anger, shall come out and fight with the king of the north; and he shall raise a great multitude, but it shall be given into his hand.

rsv@Daniel:11:12 @ And when the multitude is taken, his heart shall be exalted, and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.

rsv@Daniel:11:15 @ Then the king of the north shall come and throw up siegeworks, and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not stand, or even his picked troops, for there shall be no strength to stand.

rsv@Daniel:11:18 @ Afterward he shall turn his face to the coastlands, and shall take many of them; but a commander shall put an end to his insolence; indeed he shall turn his insolence back upon him.

rsv@Daniel:11:25 @ And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall wage war with an exceedingly great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for plots shall be devised against him.

rsv@Daniel:11:27 @ And as for the two kings, their minds shall be bent on mischief; they shall speak lies at the same table, but to no avail; for the end is yet to be at the time appointed.

rsv@Daniel:11:29 @ "At the time appointed he shall return and come into the south; but it shall not be this time as it was before.

rsv@Daniel:11:30 @ For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be afraid and withdraw, and shall turn back and be enraged and take action against the holy covenant. He shall turn back and give heed to those who forsake the holy covenant.

rsv@Daniel:11:32 @ He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant; but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action.

rsv@Daniel:11:35 @ and some of those who are wise shall fall, to refine and to cleanse them and to make them white, until the time of the end, for it is yet for the time appointed.

rsv@Daniel:11:36 @ "And the king shall do according to his will; he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished; for what is determined shall be done.

rsv@Daniel:11:37 @ He shall give no heed to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women; he shall not give heed to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all.

rsv@Daniel:11:39 @ He shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god; those who acknowledge him he shall magnify with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and shall divide the land for a price.

rsv@Daniel:11:41 @ He shall come into the glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom and Moab and the main part of the Ammonites.

rsv@Daniel:12:1 @ "At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time; but at that time your people shall be delivered, every one whose name shall be found written in the book.

rsv@Daniel:12:4 @ But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."

rsv@Daniel:12:5 @ Then I Daniel looked, and behold, two others stood, one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream.

rsv@Daniel:12:6 @ And I said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, "How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?"

rsv@Daniel:12:7 @ The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven; and I heard him swear by him who lives for ever that it would be for a time, two times, and half a time; and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be accomplished.

rsv@Daniel:12:9 @ He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.

rsv@Daniel:12:10 @ Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand.

rsv@Daniel:12:11 @ And from the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

rsv@Daniel:12:12 @ Blessed is he who waits and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

rsv@Daniel:12:13 @ But go your way till the end; and you shall rest, and shall stand in your allotted place at the end of the days."

rsv@Hosea:1:3 @ So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Dibla'im, and she conceived and bore him a son.

rsv@Hosea:1:6 @ She conceived again and bore a daughter. And the LORD said to him, "Call her name Not pitied, for I will no more have pity on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all.

rsv@Hosea:1:8 @ When she had weaned Not pitied, she conceived and bore a son.

rsv@Hosea:1:10 @ Yet the number of the people of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which can be neither measured nor numbered; and in the place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," it shall be said to them, "Sons of the living God."

rsv@Hosea:1:11 @ And the people of Judah and the people of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint for themselves one head; and they shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

rsv@Hosea:2:1 @ Say to your brother, "My people," and to your sister, "She has obtained pity."

rsv@Hosea:2:3 @ lest I strip her naked and make her as in the day she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a parched land, and slay her with thirst.

rsv@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother has played the harlot; she that conceived them has acted shamefully. For she said, `I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'

rsv@Hosea:2:6 @ Therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns; and I will build a wall against her, so that she cannot find her paths.

rsv@Hosea:2:8 @ And she did not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the wine, and the oil, and who lavished upon her silver and gold which they used for Ba'al.

rsv@Hosea:2:9 @ Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my wine in its season; and I will take away my wool and my flax, which were to cover her nakedness.

rsv@Hosea:2:11 @ And I will put an end to all her mirth, her feasts, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her appointed feasts.

rsv@Hosea:2:13 @ And I will punish her for the feast days of the Ba'als when she burned incense to them and decked herself with her ring and jewelry, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says the LORD.

rsv@Hosea:2:17 @ For I will remove the names of the Ba'als from her mouth, and they shall be mentioned by name no more.

rsv@Hosea:2:23 @ and I will sow him for myself in the land. And I will have pity on Not pitied, and I will say to Not my people, `You are my people'; and he shall say `Thou art my God.'"

rsv@Hosea:3:1 @ And the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is beloved of a paramour and is an adulteress; even as the LORD loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins."

rsv@Hosea:4:1 @ Hear the word of the LORD, O people of Israel; for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or kindness, and no knowledge of God in the land;

rsv@Hosea:4:6 @ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

rsv@Hosea:4:7 @ The more they increased, the more they sinned against me; I will change their glory into shame.

rsv@Hosea:4:8 @ They feed on the sin of my people; they are greedy for their iniquity.

rsv@Hosea:4:9 @ And it shall be like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways, and requite them for their deeds.

rsv@Hosea:4:10 @ They shall eat, but not be satisfied; they shall play the harlot, but not multiply; because they have forsaken the LORD to cherish harlotry.

rsv@Hosea:4:12 @ My people inquire of a thing of wood, and their staff gives them oracles. For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray, and they have left their God to play the harlot.

rsv@Hosea:4:16 @ Like a stubborn heifer, Israel is stubborn; can the LORD now feed them like a lamb in a broad pasture?

rsv@Hosea:4:17 @ E'phraim is joined to idols, let him alone.

rsv@Hosea:4:19 @ A wind has wrapped them in its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their altars.

rsv@Hosea:5:1 @ Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Hearken, O house of the king! For the judgment pertains to you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

rsv@Hosea:5:3 @ I know E'phraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, O E'phraim, you have played the harlot, Israel is defiled.

rsv@Hosea:5:4 @ Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. For the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not the LORD.

rsv@Hosea:5:11 @ E'phraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because he was determined to go after vanity.

rsv@Hosea:5:15 @ I will return again to my place, until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, and in their distress they seek me, saying,

rsv@Hosea:6:6 @ For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God, rather than burnt offerings.

rsv@Hosea:6:7 @ But at Adam they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with me.

rsv@Hosea:6:8 @ Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with blood.

rsv@Hosea:6:9 @ As robbers lie in wait for a man, so the priests are banded together; they murder on the way to Shechem, yea, they commit villainy.

rsv@Hosea:6:10 @ In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; E'phraim's harlotry is there, Israel is defiled.

rsv@Hosea:6:11 @ For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed. When I would restore the fortunes of my people,

rsv@Hosea:7:1 @ when I would heal Israel, the corruption of E'phraim is revealed, and the wicked deeds of Sama'ria; for they deal falsely, the thief breaks in, and the bandits raid without.

rsv@Hosea:7:2 @ But they do not consider that I remember all their evil works. Now their deeds encompass them, they are before my face.

rsv@Hosea:7:3 @ By their wickedness they make the king glad, and the princes by their treachery.

rsv@Hosea:7:4 @ They are all adulterers; they are like a heated oven, whose baker ceases to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.

rsv@Hosea:7:5 @ On the day of our king the princes became sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with mockers.

rsv@Hosea:7:8 @ E'phraim mixes himself with the peoples; E'phraim is a cake not turned.

rsv@Hosea:7:9 @ Aliens devour his strength, and he knows it not; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and he knows it not.

rsv@Hosea:7:12 @ As they go, I will spread over them my net; I will bring them down like birds of the air; I will chastise them for their wicked deeds.

rsv@Hosea:7:13 @ Woe to them, for they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me! I would redeem them, but they speak lies against me.

rsv@Hosea:7:14 @ They do not cry to me from the heart, but they wail upon their beds; for grain and wine they gash themselves, they rebel against me.

rsv@Hosea:7:15 @ Although I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devise evil against me.

rsv@Hosea:8:1 @ Set the trumpet to your lips, for a vulture is over the house of the LORD, because they have broken my covenant, and transgressed my law.

rsv@Hosea:8:3 @ Israel has spurned the good; the enemy shall pursue him.

rsv@Hosea:8:4 @ They made kings, but not through me. They set up princes, but without my knowledge. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.

rsv@Hosea:8:5 @ I have spurned your calf, O Sama'ria. My anger burns against them. How long will it be till they are pure

rsv@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up; already they are among the nations as a useless vessel.

rsv@Hosea:8:9 @ For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass wandering alone; E'phraim has hired lovers.

rsv@Hosea:8:11 @ Because E'phraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they have become to him altars for sinning.

rsv@Hosea:8:12 @ Were I to write for him my laws by ten thousands, they would be regarded as a strange thing.

rsv@Hosea:8:14 @ For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour his strongholds.

rsv@Hosea:9:1 @ Rejoice not, O Israel! Exult not like the peoples; for you have played the harlot, forsaking your God. You have loved a harlot's hire upon all threshing floors.

rsv@Hosea:9:2 @ Threshing floor and winevat shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail them.

rsv@Hosea:9:4 @ They shall not pour libations of wine to the LORD; and they shall not please him with their sacrifices. Their bread shall be like mourners' bread; all who eat of it shall be defiled; for their bread shall be for their hunger only; it shall not come to the house of the LORD.

rsv@Hosea:9:5 @ What will you do on the day of appointed festival, and on the day of the feast of the LORD?

rsv@Hosea:9:7 @ The days of punishment have come, the days of recompense have come; Israel shall know it. The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is mad, because of your great iniquity and great hatred.

rsv@Hosea:9:8 @ The prophet is the watchman of E'phraim, the people of my God, yet a fowler's snare is on all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

rsv@Hosea:9:9 @ They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gib'e-ah: he will remember their iniquity, he will punish their sins.

rsv@Hosea:9:10 @ Like grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel. Like the first fruit on the fig tree, in its first season, I saw your fathers. But they came to Ba'al-pe'or, and consecrated themselves to Ba'al, and became detestable like the thing they loved.

rsv@Hosea:9:13 @ E'phraim's sons, as I have seen, are destined for a prey; E'phraim must lead forth his sons to slaughter.

rsv@Hosea:9:15 @ Every evil of theirs is in Gilgal; there I began to hate them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more; all their princes are rebels.

rsv@Hosea:9:16 @ E'phraim is stricken, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, I will slay their beloved children.

rsv@Hosea:9:17 @ My God will cast them off, because they have not hearkened to him; they shall be wanderers among the nations.

rsv@Hosea:10:1 @ Israel is a luxuriant vine that yields its fruit. The more his fruit increased the more altars he built; as his country improved he improved his pillars.

rsv@Hosea:10:4 @ They utter mere words; with empty oaths they make covenants; so judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.

rsv@Hosea:10:5 @ The inhabitants of Sama'ria tremble for the calf of Beth-a'ven. Its people shall mourn for it, and its idolatrous priests shall wail over it, over its glory which has departed from it.

rsv@Hosea:10:6 @ Yea, the thing itself shall be carried to Assyria, as tribute to the great king. E'phraim shall be put to shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.

rsv@Hosea:10:8 @ The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. Thorn and thistle shall grow up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fall upon us.

rsv@Hosea:10:9 @ From the days of Gib'e-ah, you have sinned, O Israel; there they have continued. Shall not war overtake them in Gib'e-ah?

rsv@Hosea:10:10 @ I will come against the wayward people to chastise them; and nations shall be gathered against them when they are chastised for their double iniquity.

rsv@Hosea:10:11 @ E'phraim was a trained heifer that loved to thresh, and I spared her fair neck; but I will put E'phraim to the yoke, Judah must plow, Jacob must harrow for himself.

rsv@Hosea:10:13 @ You have plowed iniquity, you have reaped injustice, you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your chariots and in the multitude of your warriors,

rsv@Hosea:10:14 @ therefore the tumult of war shall arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-ar'bel on the day of battle; mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.

rsv@Hosea:10:15 @ Thus it shall be done to you, O house of Israel, because of your great wickedness. In the storm the king of Israel shall be utterly cut off.

rsv@Hosea:11:1 @ When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.

rsv@Hosea:11:2 @ The more I called them, the more they went from me; they kept sacrificing to the Ba'als, and burning incense to idols.

rsv@Hosea:11:3 @ Yet it was I who taught E'phraim to walk, I took them up in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them.

rsv@Hosea:11:4 @ I led them with cords of compassion, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one, who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them.

rsv@Hosea:11:5 @ They shall return to the land of Egypt, and Assyria shall be their king, because they have refused to return to me.

rsv@Hosea:11:7 @ My people are bent on turning away from me; so they are appointed to the yoke, and none shall remove it.

rsv@Hosea:11:12 @ E'phraim has encompassed me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah is still known by God, and is faithful to the Holy One.

rsv@Hosea:12:1 @ E'phraim herds the wind, and pursues the east wind all day long; they multiply falsehood and violence; they make a bargain with Assyria, and oil is carried to Egypt.

rsv@Hosea:12:2 @ The LORD has an indictment against Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways, and requite him according to his deeds.

rsv@Hosea:12:4 @ He strove with the angel and prevailed, he wept and sought his favor. He met God at Bethel, and there God spoke with him--

rsv@Hosea:12:8 @ E'phraim has said, "Ah, but I am rich, I have gained wealth for myself": but all his riches can never offset the guilt he has incurred.

rsv@Matthew:13:26 @ So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also.

rsv@Matthew:14:28 @ And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, bid me come to you on the water."

rsv@Matthew:14:32 @ And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

rsv@Matthew:14:33 @ And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

rsv@Matthew:14:34 @ And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.

rsv@Matthew:14:35 @ And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent round to all that region and brought to him all that were sick,

rsv@Matthew:14:36 @ and besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.

rsv@Matthew:15:3 @ He answered them, "And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

rsv@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire." And her daughter was healed instantly.

rsv@Matthew:15:29 @ And Jesus went on from there and passed along the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain, and sat down there.

rsv@Matthew:15:30 @ And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them,

rsv@Matthew:15:37 @ And they all ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

rsv@Matthew:16:1 @ And the Pharisees and Sad'ducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

rsv@Matthew:16:13 @ Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesare'a Philip'pi, he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that the Son of man is?"

rsv@Matthew:16:16 @ Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

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

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

rsv@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

rsv@Matthew:16:23 @ But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men."

rsv@Matthew:17:5 @ He was still speaking, when lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him."

rsv@Matthew:17:6 @ When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe.

rsv@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Rise, and have no fear."

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

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

rsv@Matthew:17:11 @ He replied, "Eli'jah does come, and he is to restore all things;

rsv@Matthew:17:20 @ He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you."

rsv@Matthew:26:70 @ But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you mean."

rsv@Matthew:26:72 @ And again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."

rsv@Matthew:26:75 @ And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, "Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.

rsv@Matthew:27:2 @ and they bound him and led him away and delivered him to Pilate the governor.

rsv@Matthew:27:3 @ When Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,

rsv@Matthew:27:4 @ saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself."

rsv@Matthew:27:5 @ And throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself.

rsv@Matthew:27:11 @ Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You have said so."

rsv@Matthew:27:12 @ But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he made no answer.

rsv@Matthew:27:14 @ But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge; so that the governor wondered greatly.

rsv@Matthew:27:15 @ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted.

rsv@Matthew:27:16 @ And they had then a notorious prisoner, called Barab'bas.

rsv@Matthew:27:17 @ So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barab'bas or Jesus who is called Christ?"

rsv@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up.

rsv@Matthew:27:19 @ Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much over him today in a dream."

rsv@Matthew:27:20 @ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the people to ask for Barab'bas and destroy Jesus.

rsv@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified."

rsv@Matthew:27:23 @ And he said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified."

rsv@Matthew:27:24 @ So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves."

rsv@Matthew:27:25 @ And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"

rsv@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released for them Barab'bas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.

rsv@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the praetorium, and they gathered the whole battalion before him.

rsv@Matthew:27:28 @ And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him,

rsv@Matthew:27:29 @ and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

rsv@Matthew:27:30 @ And they spat upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

rsv@Matthew:27:31 @ And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

rsv@Matthew:27:32 @ As they went out, they came upon a man of Cyre'ne, Simon by name; this man they compelled to carry his cross.

rsv@Matthew:27:33 @ And when they came to a place called Gol'gotha (which means the place of a skull),

rsv@Matthew:27:34 @ they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it.

rsv@Matthew:27:35 @ And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots;

rsv@Matthew:27:38 @ Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left.

rsv@Matthew:27:39 @ And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads

rsv@Matthew:27:41 @ So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying,

rsv@Matthew:27:42 @ "He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.

rsv@Matthew:27:44 @ And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

rsv@Matthew:27:46 @ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, la'ma sabach-tha'ni?" that is, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

rsv@Matthew:27:48 @ And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.

rsv@Matthew:27:50 @ And Jesus cried again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.

rsv@Matthew:27:52 @ the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,

rsv@Matthew:27:53 @ and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

rsv@Matthew:27:54 @ When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe, and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

rsv@Matthew:27:56 @ among whom were Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zeb'edee.

rsv@Matthew:27:57 @ When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathe'a, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.

rsv@Matthew:27:58 @ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

rsv@Matthew:27:59 @ And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud,

rsv@Matthew:27:60 @ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

rsv@Matthew:27:62 @ Next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate

rsv@Matthew:28:2 @ And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.

rsv@Matthew:28:4 @ And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men.

rsv@Matthew:28:9 @ And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Hail!" And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.

rsv@Matthew:28:12 @ And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sum of money to the soldiers

rsv@Matthew:28:15 @ So they took the money and did as they were directed; and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.

rsv@Mark:3:31 @ And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him.

rsv@Mark:3:33 @ And he replied, "Who are my mother and my brothers?"

rsv@Mark:4:1 @ Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land.

rsv@Mark:4:4 @ And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

rsv@Mark:4:5 @ Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil;

rsv@Mark:4:6 @ and when the sun rose it was scorched, and since it had no root it withered away.

rsv@Mark:4:7 @ Other seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain.

rsv@Mark:4:8 @ And other seeds fell into good soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."

rsv@Mark:4:10 @ And when he was alone, those who were about him with the twelve asked him concerning the parables.

rsv@Mark:4:12 @ so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand; lest they should turn again, and be forgiven."

rsv@Mark:4:15 @ And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown; when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word which is sown in them.

rsv@Mark:4:16 @ And these in like manner are the ones sown upon rocky ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;

rsv@Mark:4:17 @ and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.

rsv@Mark:4:20 @ But those that were sown upon the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."

rsv@Mark:4:21 @ And he said to them, "Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not on a stand?

rsv@Mark:4:24 @ And he said to them, "Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you.

rsv@Mark:4:26 @ And he said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed upon the ground,

rsv@Mark:4:31 @ It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth;

rsv@Mark:4:34 @ he did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

rsv@Mark:4:39 @ And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

rsv@Mark:4:41 @ And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?"

rsv@Mark:5:3 @ who lived among the tombs; and no one could bind him any more, even with a chain;

rsv@Mark:5:4 @ for he had often been bound with fetters and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the fetters he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him.

rsv@Mark:5:6 @ And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped him;

rsv@Mark:5:9 @ And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion; for we are many."

rsv@Mark:5:10 @ And he begged him eagerly not to send them out of the country.

rsv@Mark:5:11 @ Now a great herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside;

rsv@Mark:5:12 @ and they begged him, "Send us to the swine, let us enter them."

rsv@Mark:5:13 @ So he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered the swine; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned in the sea.

rsv@Mark:5:14 @ The herdsmen fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened.

rsv@Mark:5:15 @ And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, the man who had had the legion; and they were afraid.

rsv@Mark:5:16 @ And those who had seen it told what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.

rsv@Mark:5:18 @ And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him.

rsv@Mark:5:19 @ But he refused, and said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."

rsv@Mark:5:20 @ And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decap'olis how much Jesus had done for him; and all men marveled.

rsv@Mark:5:21 @ And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him; and he was beside the sea.

rsv@Mark:5:24 @ And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him.

rsv@Mark:5:26 @ and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.

rsv@Mark:5:27 @ She had heard the reports about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.

rsv@Mark:5:29 @ And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

rsv@Mark:5:30 @ And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my garments?"

rsv@Mark:5:31 @ And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, `Who touched me?'"

rsv@Mark:5:32 @ And he looked around to see who had done it.

rsv@Mark:5:34 @ And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease."

rsv@Mark:5:37 @ And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

rsv@Mark:5:39 @ And when he had entered, he said to them, "Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping."

rsv@Mark:5:40 @ And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside, and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

rsv@Mark:5:42 @ And immediately the girl got up and walked (she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.

rsv@Mark:5:43 @ And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.

rsv@Mark:6:1 @ He went away from there and came to his own country; and his disciples followed him.

rsv@Mark:6:2 @ And on the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; and many who heard him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get all this? What is the wisdom given to him? What mighty works are wrought by his hands!

rsv@Mark:6:5 @ And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands upon a few sick people and healed them.

rsv@Mark:6:6 @ And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching.

rsv@Mark:6:7 @ And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

rsv@Mark:6:8 @ He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts;

rsv@Mark:6:12 @ So they went out and preached that men should repent.

rsv@Mark:6:13 @ And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

rsv@Mark:6:14 @ King Herod heard of it; for Jesus' name had become known. Some said, "John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him."

rsv@Mark:6:16 @ But when Herod heard of it he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised."

rsv@Mark:6:17 @ For Herod had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Hero'di-as, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.

rsv@Mark:6:19 @ And Hero'di-as had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not,

rsv@Mark:6:20 @ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly.

rsv@Mark:6:22 @ For when Hero'di-as' daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will grant it."

rsv@Mark:6:23 @ And he vowed to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom."

rsv@Mark:6:25 @ And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

rsv@Mark:6:26 @ And the king was exceedingly sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.

rsv@Mark:6:27 @ And immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard and gave orders to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison,

rsv@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles returned to Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught.

rsv@Mark:6:37 @ But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." And they said to him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?"

rsv@Mark:6:39 @ Then he commanded them all to sit down by companies upon the green grass.

rsv@Mark:6:40 @ So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

rsv@Mark:6:41 @ And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all.

rsv@Mark:6:42 @ And they all ate and were satisfied.

rsv@Mark:6:45 @ Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Beth-sa'ida, while he dismissed the crowd.

rsv@Mark:6:49 @ but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out;

rsv@Mark:6:50 @ for they all saw him, and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take heart, it is I; have no fear."

rsv@Mark:6:51 @ And he got into the boat with them and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,

rsv@Mark:6:52 @ for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

rsv@Mark:6:53 @ And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennes'aret, and moored to the shore.

rsv@Mark:6:54 @ And when they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,

rsv@Mark:6:56 @ And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or country, they laid the sick in the market places, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.

rsv@Mark:7:1 @ Now when the Pharisees gathered together to him, with some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

rsv@Mark:7:2 @ they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands defiled, that is, unwashed.

rsv@Mark:7:5 @ And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with hands defiled?"

rsv@Mark:7:11 @ but you say, `If a man tells his father or his mother, What you would have gained from me is Corban' (that is, given to God)--

rsv@Mark:7:14 @ And he called the people to him again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand:

rsv@Mark:7:16 @ And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.

rsv@Mark:7:18 @ since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)

rsv@Mark:7:21 @ coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.

rsv@Mark:7:23 @ And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and would not have any one know it; yet he could not be hid.

rsv@Mark:7:24 @ But immediately a woman, whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell down at his feet.

rsv@Mark:7:25 @ Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoeni'cian by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

rsv@Mark:7:26 @ And he said to her, "Let the children first be fed, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

rsv@Mark:7:27 @ But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."

rsv@Mark:7:29 @ And she went home, and found the child lying in bed, and the demon gone.

rsv@Mark:7:30 @ Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the region of the Decap'olis.

rsv@Mark:7:31 @ And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.

rsv@Mark:7:32 @ And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue;

rsv@Mark:7:33 @ and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Eph'phatha," that is, "Be opened."

rsv@Mark:7:34 @ And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.

rsv@Mark:7:35 @ And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.

rsv@Mark:7:36 @ And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well; he even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."

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

rsv@Mark:8:4 @ And his disciples answered him, "How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert?"

rsv@Mark:8:5 @ And he asked them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven."

rsv@Mark:8:6 @ And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.

rsv@Mark:8:7 @ And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them.

rsv@Mark:8:8 @ And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.

rsv@Mark:8:10 @ And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanu'tha.

rsv@Mark:8:12 @ And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."

rsv@Mark:8:13 @ And he left them, and getting into the boat again he departed to the other side.

rsv@Mark:8:15 @ And he cautioned them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

rsv@Mark:8:16 @ And they discussed it with one another, saying, "We have no bread."

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

rsv@Mark:8:22 @ And they came to Beth-sa'ida. And some people brought to him a blind man, and begged him to touch him.

rsv@Mark:8:23 @ And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, "Do you see anything?"

rsv@Mark:8:24 @ And he looked up and said, "I see men; but they look like trees, walking."

rsv@Mark:8:25 @ Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly.

rsv@Mark:8:27 @ And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesare'a Philip'pi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"

rsv@Mark:8:29 @ And he asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."

rsv@Mark:8:30 @ And he charged them to tell no one about him.

rsv@Mark:8:31 @ And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

rsv@Mark:8:33 @ But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of God, but of men."

rsv@Mark:8:34 @ And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

rsv@Mark:8:38 @ For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

rsv@Mark:9:2 @ And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them,

rsv@Mark:9:4 @ And there appeared to them Eli'jah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus.

rsv@Mark:9:6 @ For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid.

rsv@Mark:9:7 @ And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him."

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

rsv@Mark:9:11 @ And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that first Eli'jah must come?"

rsv@Mark:9:12 @ And he said to them, "Eli'jah does come first to restore all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

rsv@Mark:9:13 @ But I tell you that Eli'jah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him."

rsv@Mark:9:15 @ And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and ran up to him and greeted him.

rsv@Mark:9:16 @ And he asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"

rsv@Mark:9:17 @ And one of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a dumb spirit;

rsv@Mark:9:18 @ and wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able."

rsv@Mark:9:19 @ And he answered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me."

rsv@Mark:9:20 @ And they brought the boy to him; and when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

rsv@Mark:9:21 @ And Jesus asked his father, "How long has he had this?" And he said, "From childhood.

rsv@Mark:9:24 @ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!"

rsv@Mark:9:25 @ And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again."

rsv@Mark:9:27 @ But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

rsv@Mark:9:28 @ And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"

rsv@Mark:9:30 @ They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he would not have any one know it;

rsv@Mark:9:31 @ for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise."

rsv@Mark:9:33 @ And they came to Caper'na-um; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?"

rsv@Mark:9:34 @ But they were silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest.

rsv@Mark:9:35 @ And he sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."

rsv@Mark:9:43 @ And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire.

rsv@Mark:9:46 @ where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.

rsv@Mark:9:47 @ For every one will be salted with fire.

rsv@Mark:10:1 @ And he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.

rsv@Mark:10:2 @ And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"

rsv@Mark:10:3 @ He answered them, "What did Moses command you?"

rsv@Mark:10:4 @ They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away."

rsv@Mark:10:7 @ `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

rsv@Mark:10:9 @ What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."

rsv@Mark:10:10 @ And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter.

rsv@Mark:10:13 @ And they were bringing children to him, that he might touch them; and the disciples rebuked them.

rsv@Mark:10:16 @ And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.

rsv@Mark:10:17 @ And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

rsv@Mark:10:20 @ And he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth."

rsv@Mark:10:21 @ And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

rsv@Mark:10:23 @ And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!"

rsv@Mark:10:24 @ And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

rsv@Mark:10:25 @ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

rsv@Mark:10:26 @ And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, "Then who can be saved?"

rsv@Mark:10:27 @ Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God."

rsv@Mark:10:28 @ Peter began to say to him, "Lo, we have left everything and followed you."

rsv@Mark:10:30 @ who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life.

rsv@Mark:10:32 @ And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him,

rsv@Mark:10:33 @ saying, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles;

rsv@Mark:10:38 @ But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"

rsv@Mark:10:39 @ And they said to him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized;

rsv@Mark:10:40 @ but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared."

rsv@Mark:10:42 @ And Jesus called them to him and said to them, "You know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

rsv@Mark:10:45 @ For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

rsv@Mark:10:48 @ And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

rsv@Mark:10:49 @ And Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." And they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take heart; rise, he is calling you."

rsv@Mark:10:52 @ And Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.

rsv@Mark:11:2 @ and said to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat; untie it and bring it.

rsv@Mark:11:4 @ And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door out in the open street; and they untied it.

rsv@Mark:11:9 @ And those who went before and those who followed cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

rsv@Mark:11:10 @ Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming! Hosanna in the highest!"

rsv@Mark:11:11 @ And he entered Jerusalem, and went into the temple; and when he had looked round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

rsv@Mark:11:15 @ And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons;

rsv@Mark:11:20 @ As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.

rsv@Mark:11:21 @ And Peter remembered and said to him, "Master, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered."

rsv@Mark:12:18 @ And Sad'ducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, saying,

rsv@Mark:12:20 @ There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no children;

rsv@Mark:12:21 @ and the second took her, and died, leaving no children; and the third likewise;

rsv@Mark:12:22 @ and the seven left no children. Last of all the woman also died.

rsv@Mark:12:26 @ And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, `I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

rsv@Mark:12:28 @ And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?"

rsv@Mark:12:29 @ Jesus answered, "The first is, `Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one;

rsv@Mark:12:34 @ And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to ask him any question.

rsv@Mark:12:36 @ David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, declared, `The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thy enemies under thy feet.'

rsv@Mark:12:41 @ And he sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums.

rsv@Mark:12:43 @ And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury.

rsv@Mark:12:44 @ For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living."

rsv@Mark:13:3 @ And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

rsv@Mark:13:4 @ "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign when these things are all to be accomplished?"

rsv@Mark:13:5 @ And Jesus began to say to them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray.

rsv@Mark:13:9 @ "But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them.

rsv@Mark:13:10 @ And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.

rsv@Mark:13:13 @ and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

rsv@Mark:13:19 @ For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

rsv@Mark:13:20 @ And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.

rsv@Mark:13:23 @ But take heed; I have told you all things beforehand.

rsv@Mark:13:24 @ "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,

rsv@Mark:13:33 @ Take heed, watch; for you do not know when the time will come.

rsv@Mark:14:1 @ It was now two days before the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth, and kill him;

rsv@Mark:14:3 @ And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head.

rsv@Mark:14:4 @ But there were some who said to themselves indignantly, "Why was the ointment thus wasted?

rsv@Mark:14:5 @ For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." And they reproached her.

rsv@Mark:14:8 @ She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burying.

rsv@Mark:14:9 @ And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her."

rsv@Mark:14:11 @ And when they heard it they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to betray him.

rsv@Mark:14:12 @ And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the passover?"

rsv@Mark:14:15 @ And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us."

rsv@Mark:14:16 @ And the disciples set out and went to the city, and found it as he had told them; and they prepared the passover.

rsv@Mark:14:21 @ For the Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

rsv@Mark:14:22 @ And as they were eating, he took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."

rsv@Mark:14:24 @ And he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

rsv@Mark:14:27 @ And Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away; for it is written, `I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'

rsv@Mark:14:28 @ But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee."

rsv@Mark:14:32 @ And they went to a place which was called Gethsem'ane; and he said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."

rsv@Mark:14:33 @ And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled.

rsv@Mark:14:35 @ And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

rsv@Mark:14:38 @ Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

rsv@Mark:14:39 @ And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.

rsv@Mark:14:41 @ And he came the third time, and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come; the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

rsv@Mark:14:43 @ And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

rsv@Mark:14:45 @ And when he came, he went up to him at once, and said, "Master!" And he kissed him.

rsv@Mark:14:46 @ And they laid hands on him and seized him.

rsv@Mark:14:49 @ Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the scriptures be fulfilled."

rsv@Mark:14:50 @ And they all forsook him, and fled.

rsv@Mark:14:51 @ And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body; and they seized him,

rsv@Mark:14:52 @ but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.

rsv@Mark:14:53 @ And they led Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled.

rsv@Mark:14:54 @ And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards, and warming himself at the fire.

rsv@Mark:14:60 @ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?"

rsv@Mark:14:61 @ But he was silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

rsv@Mark:14:62 @ And Jesus said, "I am; and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."

rsv@Mark:14:63 @ And the high priest tore his garments, and said, "Why do we still need witnesses?

rsv@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving death.

rsv@Mark:14:65 @ And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to strike him, saying to him, "Prophesy!" And the guards received him with blows.

rsv@Mark:14:67 @ and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus."

rsv@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you mean." And he went out into the gateway.

rsv@Mark:14:70 @ But again he denied it. And after a little while again the bystanders said to Peter, "Certainly you are one of them; for you are a Galilean."

rsv@Mark:14:72 @ And immediately the cock crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, "Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down and wept.

rsv@Mark:15:1 @ And as soon as it was morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council held a consultation; and they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him to Pilate.

rsv@Mark:15:2 @ And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so."

rsv@Mark:15:3 @ And the chief priests accused him of many things.

rsv@Mark:15:4 @ And Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you."

rsv@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate wondered.

rsv@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked.

rsv@Mark:15:7 @ And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barab'bas.

rsv@Mark:15:9 @ And he answered them, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

rsv@Mark:15:10 @ For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up.

rsv@Mark:15:11 @ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barab'bas instead.

rsv@Mark:15:13 @ And they cried out again, "Crucify him."

rsv@Mark:15:14 @ And Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him."

rsv@Mark:15:15 @ So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barab'bas; and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

rsv@Mark:15:16 @ And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the praetorium); and they called together the whole battalion.

rsv@Mark:15:17 @ And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on him.

rsv@Mark:15:19 @ And they struck his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and they knelt down in homage to him.

rsv@Mark:15:20 @ And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak, and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him.

rsv@Mark:15:21 @ And they compelled a passer-by, Simon of Cyre'ne, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

rsv@Mark:15:22 @ And they brought him to the place called Gol'gotha (which means the place of a skull).

rsv@Mark:15:23 @ And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh; but he did not take it.

rsv@Mark:15:24 @ And they crucified him, and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.

rsv@Mark:15:25 @ And it was the third hour, when they crucified him.

rsv@Mark:15:27 @ And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.

rsv@Mark:15:28 @ And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days,

rsv@Mark:15:30 @ So also the chief priests mocked him to one another with the scribes, saying, "He saved others; he cannot save himself.

rsv@Mark:15:31 @ Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

rsv@Mark:15:33 @ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "E'lo-i, E'lo-i, la'ma sabach-tha'ni?" which means, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

rsv@Mark:15:35 @ And one ran and, filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Eli'jah will come to take him down."

rsv@Mark:15:36 @ And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed his last.

rsv@Mark:15:38 @ And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that he thus breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

rsv@Mark:15:40 @ who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him; and also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

rsv@Mark:15:42 @ Joseph of Arimathe'a, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

rsv@Mark:15:43 @ And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.

rsv@Mark:15:44 @ And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph.

rsv@Mark:15:45 @ And he bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

rsv@Mark:16:4 @ And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; --it was very large.

rsv@Mark:16:5 @ And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed.

rsv@Mark:16:6 @ And he said to them, "Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, he is not here; see the place where they laid him.

rsv@Mark:16:8 @ And they went out and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.

rsv@Mark:16:9 @ Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

rsv@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

rsv@Mark:16:12 @ After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country.

rsv@Mark:16:14 @ Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they sat at table; and he upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen.

rsv@Mark:16:16 @ He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

rsv@Mark:16:20 @ And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it. Amen.

rsv@Luke:1:1 @ Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us,

rsv@Luke:1:2 @ just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,

rsv@Luke:1:3 @ it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent The-oph'ilus,

rsv@Luke:1:4 @ that you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed.

rsv@Luke:1:5 @ In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechari'ah, of the division of Abi'jah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

rsv@Luke:1:7 @ But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.

rsv@Luke:1:11 @ And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

rsv@Luke:1:12 @ And Zechari'ah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.

rsv@Luke:1:15 @ for he will be great before the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.

rsv@Luke:1:17 @ and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Eli'jah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared."

rsv@Luke:1:18 @ And Zechari'ah said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years."

rsv@Luke:1:19 @ And the angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.

rsv@Luke:1:20 @ And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time."

rsv@Luke:1:21 @ And the people were waiting for Zechari'ah, and they wondered at his delay in the temple.

rsv@Luke:1:22 @ And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them and remained dumb.

rsv@Luke:1:23 @ And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home.

rsv@Luke:1:24 @ After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she hid herself, saying,

rsv@Luke:1:25 @ "Thus the Lord has done to me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men."

rsv@Luke:1:26 @ In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

rsv@Luke:1:27 @ to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

rsv@Luke:1:28 @ And he came to her and said, "Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!"

rsv@Luke:1:29 @ But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.

rsv@Luke:1:32 @ He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David,

rsv@Luke:1:35 @ And the angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.

rsv@Luke:1:36 @ And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

rsv@Luke:1:38 @ And Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

rsv@Luke:1:40 @ and she entered the house of Zechari'ah and greeted Elizabeth.

rsv@Luke:1:41 @ And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit

rsv@Luke:1:42 @ and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

rsv@Luke:1:43 @ And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

rsv@Luke:1:44 @ For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.

rsv@Luke:1:45 @ And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."

rsv@Luke:1:48 @ for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;

rsv@Luke:1:51 @ He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts,

rsv@Luke:1:52 @ he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree;

rsv@Luke:1:53 @ he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away.

rsv@Luke:1:54 @ He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy,

rsv@Luke:1:56 @ And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her home.

rsv@Luke:1:57 @ Now the time came for Elizabeth to be delivered, and she gave birth to a son.

rsv@Luke:1:58 @ And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.

rsv@Luke:1:59 @ And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they would have named him Zechari'ah after his father,

rsv@Luke:1:60 @ but his mother said, "Not so; he shall be called John."

rsv@Luke:1:61 @ And they said to her, "None of your kindred is called by this name."

rsv@Luke:1:62 @ And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he would have him called.

rsv@Luke:1:63 @ And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all marveled.

rsv@Luke:1:64 @ And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.

rsv@Luke:1:65 @ And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea;

rsv@Luke:1:67 @ And his father Zechari'ah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,

rsv@Luke:1:68 @ "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people,

rsv@Luke:2:5 @ to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.

rsv@Luke:2:6 @ And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered.

rsv@Luke:2:7 @ And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

rsv@Luke:2:9 @ And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear.

rsv@Luke:2:12 @ And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."

rsv@Luke:2:14 @ "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!"

rsv@Luke:2:18 @ and all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them.

rsv@Luke:2:20 @ And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

rsv@Luke:2:21 @ And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

rsv@Luke:2:23 @ (as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord")

rsv@Luke:2:38 @ And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

rsv@Luke:2:40 @ And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.

rsv@Luke:2:43 @ and when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,

rsv@Luke:2:45 @ and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.

rsv@Luke:2:47 @ and all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

rsv@Luke:2:48 @ And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously."

rsv@Luke:2:51 @ And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart.

rsv@Luke:3:5 @ Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

rsv@Luke:3:7 @ He said therefore to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

rsv@Luke:3:13 @ And he said to them, "Collect no more than is appointed you."

rsv@Luke:3:14 @ Soldiers also asked him, "And we, what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Rob no one by violence or by false accusation, and be content with your wages."

rsv@Luke:3:37 @ the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Maha'lale-el, the son of Ca-i'nan,

rsv@Luke:4:1 @ And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit

rsv@Luke:4:2 @ for forty days in the wilderness, tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry.

rsv@Luke:4:4 @ And Jesus answered him, "It is written, `Man shall not live by bread alone.'"

rsv@Luke:4:5 @ And the devil took him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,

rsv@Luke:4:6 @ and said to him, "To you I will give all this authority and their glory; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.

rsv@Luke:4:8 @ And Jesus answered him, "It is written, `You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.'"

rsv@Luke:4:12 @ And Jesus answered him, "It is said, `You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

rsv@Luke:4:13 @ And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.

rsv@Luke:4:14 @ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and a report concerning him went out through all the surrounding country.

rsv@Luke:4:15 @ And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

rsv@Luke:4:17 @ and there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened the book and found the place where it was written,

rsv@Luke:4:18 @ "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,

rsv@Luke:4:20 @ And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.

rsv@Luke:4:21 @ And he began to say to them, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

rsv@Luke:4:22 @ And all spoke well of him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, "Is not this Joseph's son?"

rsv@Luke:4:27 @ And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Eli'sha; and none of them was cleansed, but only Na'aman the Syrian."

rsv@Luke:4:28 @ When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath.

rsv@Luke:4:29 @ And they rose up and put him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.

rsv@Luke:4:32 @ and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

rsv@Luke:4:33 @ And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,

rsv@Luke:4:35 @ But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

rsv@Luke:4:36 @ And they were all amazed and said to one another, "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."

rsv@Luke:4:38 @ And he arose and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they besought him for her.

rsv@Luke:4:39 @ And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her; and immediately she rose and served them.

rsv@Luke:4:40 @ Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.

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

rsv@Luke:4:42 @ And when it was day he departed and went into a lonely place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them;

rsv@Luke:5:1 @ While the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennes'aret.

rsv@Luke:5:3 @ Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

rsv@Luke:5:4 @ And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."

rsv@Luke:5:5 @ And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets."

rsv@Luke:5:6 @ And when they had done this, they enclosed a great shoal of fish; and as their nets were breaking,

rsv@Luke:5:7 @ they beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

rsv@Luke:5:9 @ For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken;

rsv@Luke:5:10 @ and so also were James and John, sons of Zeb'edee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching men."

rsv@Luke:5:11 @ And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

rsv@Luke:5:13 @ And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I will; be clean." And immediately the leprosy left him.

rsv@Luke:5:14 @ And he charged him to tell no one; but "go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."

rsv@Luke:5:15 @ But so much the more the report went abroad concerning him; and great multitudes gathered to hear and to be healed of their infirmities.

rsv@Luke:5:16 @ But he withdrew to the wilderness and prayed.

rsv@Luke:5:18 @ And behold, men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they sought to bring him in and lay him before Jesus;

rsv@Luke:5:19 @ but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.

rsv@Luke:5:22 @ When Jesus perceived their questionings, he answered them, "Why do you question in your hearts?

rsv@Luke:5:24 @ But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he said to the man who was paralyzed--"I say to you, rise, take up your bed and go home."

rsv@Luke:5:25 @ And immediately he rose before them, and took up that on which he lay, and went home, glorifying God.

rsv@Luke:5:26 @ And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, "We have seen strange things today."

rsv@Luke:5:27 @ After this he went out, and saw a tax collector, named Levi, sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, "Follow me."

rsv@Luke:5:28 @ And he left everything, and rose and followed him.

rsv@Luke:5:30 @ And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

rsv@Luke:5:31 @ And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick;

rsv@Luke:5:34 @ And Jesus said to them, "Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?

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

rsv@Luke:6:1 @ On a sabbath, while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.

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

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

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

rsv@Luke:6:7 @ And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him.

rsv@Luke:6:8 @ But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come and stand here." And he rose and stood there.

rsv@Luke:6:10 @ And he looked around on them all, and said to him, "Stretch out your hand." And he did so, and his hand was restored.

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

rsv@Luke:6:12 @ In these days he went out to the mountain to pray; and all night he continued in prayer to God.

rsv@Luke:6:13 @ And when it was day, he called his disciples, and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles;

rsv@Luke:6:14 @ Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,

rsv@Luke:6:15 @ and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,

rsv@Luke:6:18 @ and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.

rsv@Luke:6:19 @ And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came forth from him and healed them all.

rsv@Luke:6:20 @ And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

rsv@Luke:7:1 @ After he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people he entered Caper'na-um.

rsv@Luke:7:7 @ therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed.

rsv@Luke:7:9 @ When Jesus heard this he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude that followed him, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith."

rsv@Luke:7:10 @ And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave well.

rsv@Luke:7:11 @ Soon afterward he went to a city called Na'in, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him.

rsv@Luke:7:12 @ As he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from the city was with her.

rsv@Luke:7:14 @ And he came and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, arise."

rsv@Luke:7:16 @ Fear seized them all; and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and "God has visited his people!"

rsv@Luke:7:21 @ In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.

rsv@Luke:7:22 @ And he answered them, "Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them.

rsv@Luke:7:23 @ And blessed is he who takes no offense at me."

rsv@Luke:7:24 @ When the messengers of John had gone, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to behold? A reed shaken by the wind?

rsv@Luke:7:25 @ What then did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings' courts.

rsv@Luke:7:29 @ (When they heard this all the people and the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John;

rsv@Luke:7:30 @ but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)

rsv@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children sitting in the market place and calling to one another, `We piped to you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not weep.'

rsv@Luke:7:35 @ Yet wisdom is justified by all her children."

rsv@Luke:7:36 @ One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house, and took his place at table.

rsv@Luke:7:37 @ And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment,

rsv@Luke:7:38 @ and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

rsv@Luke:7:39 @ Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner."

rsv@Luke:7:40 @ And Jesus answering said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." And he answered, "What is it, Teacher?"

rsv@Luke:7:41 @ "A certain creditor had two debtors; one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

rsv@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered, "The one, I suppose, to whom he forgave more." And he said to him, "You have judged rightly."

rsv@Luke:7:44 @ Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

rsv@Luke:7:45 @ You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet.

rsv@Luke:7:46 @ You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.

rsv@Luke:7:47 @ Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little."

rsv@Luke:7:50 @ And he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."

rsv@Luke:8:2 @ and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Mag'dalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

rsv@Luke:8:3 @ and Joan'na, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.

rsv@Luke:8:5 @ "A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the path, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it.

rsv@Luke:8:6 @ And some fell on the rock; and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

rsv@Luke:8:7 @ And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew with it and choked it.

rsv@Luke:8:8 @ And some fell into good soil and grew, and yielded a hundredfold." As he said this, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

rsv@Luke:8:9 @ And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant,

rsv@Luke:8:11 @ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

rsv@Luke:8:12 @ The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and be saved.

rsv@Luke:8:14 @ And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature.

rsv@Luke:8:16 @ "No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, that those who enter may see the light.

rsv@Luke:8:18 @ Take heed then how you hear; for to him who has will more be given, and from him who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away."

rsv@Luke:8:23 @ and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in danger.

rsv@Luke:8:24 @ And they went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

rsv@Luke:8:25 @ He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, "Who then is this, that he commands even wind and water, and they obey him?"

rsv@Luke:8:26 @ Then they arrived at the country of the Ger'asenes, which is opposite Galilee.

rsv@Luke:8:27 @ And as he stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons; for a long time he had worn no clothes, and he lived not in a house but among the tombs.

rsv@Luke:8:28 @ When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you, do not torment me."

rsv@Luke:8:29 @ For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him; he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters, but he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the desert.)

rsv@Luke:8:30 @ Jesus then asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion"; for many demons had entered him.

rsv@Luke:8:31 @ And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss.

rsv@Luke:8:32 @ Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside; and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them leave.

rsv@Luke:8:33 @ Then the demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

rsv@Luke:8:34 @ When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

rsv@Luke:8:35 @ Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

rsv@Luke:8:36 @ And those who had seen it told them how he who had been possessed with demons was healed.

rsv@Luke:8:37 @ Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Ger'asenes asked him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear; so he got into the boat and returned.

rsv@Luke:8:38 @ The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him; but he sent him away, saying,

rsv@Luke:8:40 @ Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.

rsv@Luke:8:41 @ And there came a man named Ja'irus, who was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at Jesus' feet he besought him to come to his house,

rsv@Luke:8:42 @ for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As he went, the people pressed round him.

rsv@Luke:8:43 @ And a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years and could not be healed by any one,

rsv@Luke:8:44 @ came up behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her flow of blood ceased.

rsv@Luke:8:45 @ And Jesus said, "Who was it that touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the multitudes surround you and press upon you!"

rsv@Luke:8:46 @ But Jesus said, "Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me."

rsv@Luke:8:47 @ And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.

rsv@Luke:8:50 @ But Jesus on hearing this answered him, "Do not fear; only believe, and she shall be well."

rsv@Luke:8:51 @ And when he came to the house, he permitted no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the child.

rsv@Luke:8:53 @ And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.

rsv@Luke:8:54 @ But taking her by the hand he called, saying, "Child, arise."

rsv@Luke:8:55 @ And her spirit returned, and she got up at once; and he directed that something should be given her to eat.

rsv@Luke:8:56 @ And her parents were amazed; but he charged them to tell no one what had happened.

rsv@Luke:9:1 @ And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,

rsv@Luke:9:6 @ And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

rsv@Luke:9:7 @ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,

rsv@Luke:9:8 @ by some that Eli'jah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen.

rsv@Luke:9:9 @ Herod said, "John I beheaded; but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he sought to see him.

rsv@Luke:9:10 @ On their return the apostles told him what they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart to a city called Beth-sa'ida.

rsv@Luke:9:11 @ When the crowds learned it, they followed him; and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and cured those who had need of healing.

rsv@Luke:9:16 @ And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

rsv@Luke:9:17 @ And all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what was left over, twelve baskets of broken pieces.

rsv@Luke:9:18 @ Now it happened that as he was praying alone the disciples were with him; and he asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?"

rsv@Luke:9:19 @ And they answered, "John the Baptist; but others say, Eli'jah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen."

rsv@Luke:9:20 @ And he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered, "The Christ of God."

rsv@Luke:9:21 @ But he charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,

rsv@Luke:9:22 @ saying, "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."

rsv@Luke:9:26 @ For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

rsv@Luke:9:29 @ And as he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became dazzling white.

rsv@Luke:9:30 @ And behold, two men talked with him, Moses and Eli'jah,

rsv@Luke:9:31 @ who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem.

rsv@Luke:9:32 @ Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, and when they wakened they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.

rsv@Luke:9:34 @ As he said this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

rsv@Luke:9:38 @ And behold, a man from the crowd cried, "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son, for he is my only child;

rsv@Luke:9:40 @ And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

rsv@Luke:9:41 @ Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."

rsv@Luke:9:42 @ While he was coming, the demon tore him and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

rsv@Luke:9:43 @ And all were astonished at the majesty of God. But while they were all marveling at everything he did, he said to his disciples,

rsv@Luke:9:44 @ "Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men."

rsv@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

rsv@Luke:9:47 @ But when Jesus perceived the thought of their hearts, he took a child and put him by his side,

rsv@Luke:9:49 @ John answered, "Master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us."

rsv@Luke:9:51 @ When the days drew near for him to be received up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.

rsv@Luke:9:52 @ And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him;

rsv@Luke:9:55 @ But he turned and rebuked them.

rsv@Luke:10:1 @ After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.

rsv@Luke:10:13 @ "Woe to you, Chora'zin! woe to you, Beth-sa'ida! for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

rsv@Luke:10:15 @ And you, Caper'na-um, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.

rsv@Luke:10:17 @ The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!"

rsv@Luke:10:21 @ In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will.

rsv@Luke:10:22 @ All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

rsv@Luke:10:23 @ Then turning to the disciples he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see what you see!

rsv@Luke:10:24 @ For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it."

rsv@Luke:10:27 @ And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."

rsv@Luke:10:28 @ And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live."

rsv@Luke:10:30 @ Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

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

rsv@Luke:10:32 @ So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

rsv@Luke:10:33 @ But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion,

rsv@Luke:10:36 @ Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?"

rsv@Luke:10:37 @ He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

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

rsv@Luke:10:39 @ And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.

rsv@Luke:20:39 @ And some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you have spoken well."

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

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

rsv@Luke:21:4 @ for they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all the living that she had."

rsv@Luke:21:5 @ And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said,

rsv@Luke:21:7 @ And they asked him, "Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign when this is about to take place?"

rsv@Luke:21:8 @ And he said, "Take heed that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name, saying, `I am he!' and, `The time is at hand!' Do not go after them.

rsv@Luke:21:9 @ And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified; for this must first take place, but the end will not be at once."

rsv@Luke:22:1 @ Now the feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover.

rsv@Luke:22:2 @ And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to put him to death; for they feared the people.

rsv@Luke:22:3 @ Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve;

rsv@Luke:22:4 @ he went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them.

rsv@Luke:22:5 @ And they were glad, and engaged to give him money.

rsv@Luke:22:6 @ So he agreed, and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.

rsv@Luke:22:7 @ Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

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

rsv@Luke:22:12 @ And he will show you a large upper room furnished; there make ready."

rsv@Luke:22:13 @ And they went, and found it as he had told them; and they prepared the passover.

rsv@Luke:22:15 @ And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer;

rsv@Luke:22:16 @ for I tell you I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

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

rsv@Luke:22:22 @ For the Son of man goes as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!"

rsv@Luke:22:24 @ A dispute also arose among them, which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

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

rsv@Luke:22:28 @ "You are those who have continued with me in my trials;

rsv@Luke:22:45 @ While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him;

rsv@Luke:22:49 @ But Jesus said, "No more of this!" And he touched his ear and healed him.

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

rsv@Luke:22:53 @ and when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

rsv@Luke:22:57 @ And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, "Certainly this man also was with him; for he is a Galilean."

rsv@Luke:22:58 @ But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying." And immediately, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed.

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

rsv@Luke:22:61 @ Now the men who were holding Jesus mocked him and beat him;

rsv@Luke:22:62 @ they also blindfolded him and asked him, "Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?"

rsv@Luke:22:64 @ When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away to their council, and they said,

rsv@Luke:22:67 @ But from now on the Son of man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God."

rsv@Luke:22:69 @ And they said, "What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips."

rsv@Luke:23:3 @ And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so."

rsv@Luke:23:6 @ When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

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

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

rsv@Luke:23:9 @ So he questioned him at some length; but he made no answer.

rsv@Luke:23:11 @ And Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him; then, arraying him in gorgeous apparel, he sent him back to Pilate.

rsv@Luke:23:13 @ Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

rsv@Luke:23:17 @ But they all cried out together, "Away with this man, and release to us Barab'bas"--

rsv@Luke:23:18 @ a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city, and for murder.

rsv@Luke:23:19 @ Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus;

rsv@Luke:23:20 @ but they shouted out, "Crucify, crucify him!"

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

rsv@Luke:23:23 @ So Pilate gave sentence that their demand should be granted.

rsv@Luke:23:24 @ He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

rsv@Luke:23:25 @ And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyre'ne, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus.

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

rsv@Luke:23:28 @ For behold, the days are coming when they will say, `Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck!'

rsv@Luke:23:31 @ Two others also, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him.

rsv@Luke:23:32 @ And when they came to the place which is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right and one on the left.

rsv@Luke:23:34 @ And the people stood by, watching; but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!"

rsv@Luke:23:35 @ The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him vinegar,

rsv@Luke:23:38 @ One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"

rsv@Luke:23:39 @ But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

rsv@Luke:23:40 @ And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."

rsv@Luke:23:44 @ while the sun's light failed; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two.

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

rsv@Luke:23:46 @ Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, and said, "Certainly this man was innocent!"

rsv@Luke:23:47 @ And all the multitudes who assembled to see the sight, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts.

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

rsv@Luke:23:49 @ Now there was a man named Joseph from the Jewish town of Arimathe'a. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man,

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

rsv@Luke:23:51 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

rsv@Luke:23:52 @ Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud, and laid him in a rock-hewn tomb, where no one had ever yet been laid.

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

rsv@Luke:23:55 @ then they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

rsv@Luke:24:1 @ But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared.

rsv@Luke:24:2 @ And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

rsv@Luke:24:4 @ While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel;

rsv@Luke:24:5 @ and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

rsv@Luke:24:7 @ that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise."

rsv@Luke:24:8 @ And they remembered his words,

rsv@Luke:24:11 @ but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.

rsv@Luke:24:12 @ That very day two of them were going to a village named Emma'us, about seven miles from Jerusalem,

rsv@Luke:24:13 @ and talking with each other about all these things that had happened.

rsv@Luke:24:17 @ Then one of them, named Cle'opas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"

rsv@Luke:24:18 @ And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

rsv@Luke:24:19 @ and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

rsv@Luke:24:20 @ But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since this happened.

rsv@Luke:24:21 @ Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning

rsv@Luke:24:26 @ And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

rsv@Luke:24:27 @ So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further,

rsv@Luke:24:28 @ but they constrained him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So he went in to stay with them.

rsv@Luke:24:29 @ When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them.

rsv@Luke:24:30 @ And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight.

rsv@Luke:24:31 @ They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?"

rsv@Luke:24:32 @ And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them,

rsv@Luke:24:33 @ who said, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"

rsv@Luke:24:34 @ Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

rsv@Luke:24:36 @ But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit.

rsv@Luke:24:37 @ And he said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts?

rsv@Luke:24:39 @ And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"

rsv@Luke:24:40 @ They gave him a piece of broiled fish,

rsv@Luke:24:42 @ Then he said to them, "These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."

rsv@Luke:24:43 @ Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures,

rsv@Luke:24:45 @ and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

rsv@Luke:24:47 @ And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high."

rsv@Luke:24:48 @ Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.

rsv@Luke:24:49 @ While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.

rsv@Luke:24:50 @ And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

rsv@John:1:11 @ He came to his own home, and his own people received him not.

rsv@John:1:12 @ But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God;

rsv@John:1:15 @ (John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'")

rsv@John:1:16 @ And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace.

rsv@John:1:20 @ He confessed, he did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."

rsv@John:1:21 @ And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" And he answered, "No."

rsv@John:1:25 @ They asked him, "Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?"

rsv@John:1:26 @ John answered them, "I baptize with water; but among you stands one whom you do not know,

rsv@John:1:31 @ I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel."

rsv@John:1:32 @ And John bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him.

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

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

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

rsv@John:1:39 @ He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

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

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

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

rsv@John:1:47 @ Jesus saw Nathan'a-el coming to him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!"

rsv@John:1:48 @ Nathan'a-el said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

rsv@John:1:49 @ Nathan'a-el answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"

rsv@John:1:50 @ Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these."

rsv@John:1:51 @ And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."

rsv@John:2:2 @ Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples.

rsv@John:2:3 @ When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."

rsv@John:2:7 @ Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim.

rsv@John:2:9 @ When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom

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

rsv@John:2:12 @ After this he went down to Caper'na-um, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples; and there they stayed for a few days.

rsv@John:2:15 @ And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.

rsv@John:2:17 @ His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for thy house will consume me."

rsv@John:2:19 @ Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

rsv@John:2:22 @ When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

rsv@John:2:23 @ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did;

rsv@John:2:25 @ because he knew all men and needed no one to bear witness of man; for he himself knew what was in man.

rsv@John:3:1 @ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicode'mus, a ruler of the Jews.

rsv@John:3:3 @ Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

rsv@John:3:5 @ Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

rsv@John:3:10 @ Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand this?

rsv@John:3:13 @ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man.

rsv@John:3:14 @ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,

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

rsv@John:3:17 @ For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

rsv@John:3:18 @ He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

rsv@John:3:19 @ And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

rsv@John:3:20 @ For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

rsv@John:3:21 @ But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God.

rsv@John:3:22 @ After this Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; there he remained with them and baptized.

rsv@John:3:23 @ John also was baptizing at Ae'non near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were baptized.

rsv@John:3:27 @ John answered, "No one can receive anything except what is given him from heaven.

rsv@John:4:3 @ he left Judea and departed again to Galilee.

rsv@John:4:5 @ So he came to a city of Samar'ia, called Sy'char, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

rsv@John:4:6 @ Jacob's well was there, and so Jesus, wearied as he was with his journey, sat down beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.

rsv@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, `Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

rsv@John:4:17 @ The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, `I have no husband';

rsv@John:4:20 @ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain; and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."

rsv@John:4:25 @ The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ); when he comes, he will show us all things."

rsv@John:4:27 @ Just then his disciples came. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but none said, "What do you wish?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"

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

rsv@John:4:39 @ Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did."

rsv@John:4:40 @ So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.

rsv@John:4:41 @ And many more believed because of his word.

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

rsv@John:4:43 @ After the two days he departed to Galilee.

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

rsv@John:4:45 @ So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone to the feast.

rsv@John:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

rsv@John:4:50 @ Jesus said to him, "Go; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went his way.

rsv@John:4:52 @ So he asked them the hour when he began to mend, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

rsv@John:4:53 @ The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live"; and he himself believed, and all his household.

rsv@John:5:2 @ Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-za'tha, which has five porticoes.

rsv@John:5:3 @ In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed.

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

rsv@John:5:6 @ The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me."

rsv@John:5:8 @ And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the sabbath.

rsv@John:5:9 @ So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet."

rsv@John:5:10 @ But he answered them, "The man who healed me said to me, `Take up your pallet, and walk.'"

rsv@John:5:11 @ They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, `Take up your pallet, and walk'?"

rsv@John:5:12 @ Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.

rsv@John:5:14 @ The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.

rsv@John:5:15 @ And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath.

rsv@John:5:16 @ But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working still, and I am working."

rsv@John:5:17 @ This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.

rsv@John:5:23 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

rsv@John:5:25 @ For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself,

rsv@John:5:33 @ Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.

rsv@John:5:35 @ But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me.

rsv@John:5:45 @ If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me.

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

rsv@John:6:7 @ Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little."

rsv@John:6:11 @ Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

rsv@John:6:13 @ So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten.

rsv@John:6:14 @ When the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, "This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world!"

rsv@John:6:17 @ got into a boat, and started across the sea to Caper'na-um. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

rsv@John:6:19 @ When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat. They were frightened,

rsv@John:6:21 @ Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

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

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

rsv@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

rsv@John:6:41 @ The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."

rsv@John:6:43 @ Jesus answered them, "Do not murmur among yourselves.

rsv@John:6:45 @ It is written in the prophets, `And they shall all be taught by God.' Every one who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

rsv@John:6:49 @ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

rsv@John:6:52 @ The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

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

rsv@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live for ever."

rsv@John:6:61 @ But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, "Do you take offense at this?

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

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

rsv@John:6:69 @ and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God."

rsv@John:7:16 @ So Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me;

rsv@John:7:20 @ The people answered, "You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?"

rsv@John:7:21 @ Jesus answered them, "I did one deed, and you all marvel at it.

rsv@John:7:31 @ Yet many of the people believed in him; they said, "When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?"

rsv@John:7:37 @ On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and proclaimed, "If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink.

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

rsv@John:7:42 @ Has not the scripture said that the Christ is descended from David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

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

rsv@John:7:49 @ But this crowd, who do not know the law, are accursed."

rsv@John:7:52 @ They replied, "Are you from Galilee too? Search and you will see that no prophet is to rise from Galilee."

rsv@John:8:5 @ Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?"

rsv@John:8:7 @ And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

rsv@John:8:10 @ Jesus looked up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

rsv@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered, "Even if I do bear witness to myself, my testimony is true, for I know whence I have come and whither I am going, but you do not know whence I come or whither I am going.

rsv@John:8:19 @ They said to him therefore, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also."

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

rsv@John:8:30 @ As he spoke thus, many believed in him.

rsv@John:8:31 @ Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples,

rsv@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a slave to sin.

rsv@John:8:36 @ So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

rsv@John:8:39 @ They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do what Abraham did,

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

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

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

rsv@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, `If any one keeps my word, he will never taste death.'

rsv@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you claim to be?"

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

rsv@John:8:56 @ Your father Abraham rejoiced that he was to see my day; he saw it and was glad."

rsv@John:9:1 @ As he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.

rsv@John:9:2 @ And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

rsv@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.

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

rsv@John:9:7 @ saying to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Silo'am" (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.

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

rsv@John:9:10 @ They said to him, "Then how were your eyes opened?"

rsv@John:9:11 @ He answered, "The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, `Go to Silo'am and wash'; so I went and washed and received my sight."

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

rsv@John:9:15 @ The Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

rsv@John:9:17 @ So they again said to the blind man, "What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

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

rsv@John:9:19 @ and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

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

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

rsv@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.

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

rsv@John:9:25 @ He answered, "Whether he is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see."

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

rsv@John:9:28 @ And they reviled him, saying, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

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

rsv@John:9:32 @ Never since the world began has it been heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

rsv@John:9:34 @ They answered him, "You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?" And they cast him out.

rsv@John:9:36 @ He answered, "And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?"

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

rsv@John:10:6 @ This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

rsv@John:10:8 @ All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them.

rsv@John:10:9 @ I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

rsv@John:10:18 @ No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father."

rsv@John:10:22 @ It was the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem;

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

rsv@John:10:25 @ Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me;

rsv@John:10:32 @ Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of these do you stone me?"

rsv@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we stone you but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God."

rsv@John:10:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, `I said, you are gods'?

rsv@John:10:35 @ If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and scripture cannot be broken),

rsv@John:10:36 @ do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, `You are blaspheming,' because I said, `I am the Son of God'?

rsv@John:10:39 @ Again they tried to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.

rsv@John:10:40 @ He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John at first baptized, and there he remained.

rsv@John:10:42 @ And many believed in him there.

rsv@John:11:2 @ It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Laz'arus was ill.

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

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

rsv@John:11:6 @ So when he heard that he was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.

rsv@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

rsv@John:11:16 @ Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."

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

rsv@John:11:28 @ When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying quietly, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you."

rsv@John:11:31 @ When the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

rsv@John:11:32 @ Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

rsv@John:11:33 @ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled;

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

rsv@John:11:37 @ But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?"

rsv@John:11:38 @ Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb; it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

rsv@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

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

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

rsv@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him;

rsv@John:11:47 @ So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council, and said, "What are we to do? For this man performs many signs.

rsv@John:11:50 @ you do not understand that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish."

rsv@John:11:51 @ He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation,

rsv@John:11:52 @ and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

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

rsv@John:12:1 @ Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Laz'arus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

rsv@John:12:2 @ There they made him a supper; Martha served, and Laz'arus was one of those at table with him.

rsv@John:12:3 @ Mary took a pound of costly ointment of pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

rsv@John:12:5 @ "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"

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

rsv@John:12:9 @ When the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Laz'arus, whom he had raised from the dead.

rsv@John:12:10 @ So the chief priests planned to put Laz'arus also to death,

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

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

rsv@John:12:17 @ The crowd that had been with him when he called Laz'arus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead bore witness.

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

rsv@John:12:27 @ "Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? `Father, save me from this hour'? No, for this purpose I have come to this hour.

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

rsv@John:12:29 @ The crowd standing by heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."

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

rsv@John:12:32 @ and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself."

rsv@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains for ever. How can you say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?"

rsv@John:12:36 @ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said this, he departed and hid himself from them.

rsv@John:12:38 @ it was that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

rsv@John:12:40 @ "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their heart, and turn for me to heal them."

rsv@John:18:13 @ First they led him to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year.

rsv@John:18:14 @ It was Ca'iaphas who had given counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

rsv@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. As this disciple was known to the high priest, he entered the court of the high priest along with Jesus,

rsv@John:18:19 @ The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

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

rsv@John:18:23 @ Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, bear witness to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?"

rsv@John:18:25 @ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "Are not you also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not."

rsv@John:18:26 @ One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

rsv@John:18:27 @ Peter again denied it; and at once the cock crowed.

rsv@John:18:28 @ Then they led Jesus from the house of Ca'iaphas to the praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not enter the praetorium, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

rsv@John:18:30 @ They answered him, "If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have handed him over."

rsv@John:18:33 @ Pilate entered the praetorium again and called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

rsv@John:18:34 @ Jesus answered, "Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?"

rsv@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me; what have you done?"

rsv@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered, "My kingship is not of this world; if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be handed over to the Jews; but my kingship is not from the world."

rsv@John:18:37 @ Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice."

rsv@John:18:40 @ They cried out again, "Not this man, but Barab'bas!" Now Barab'bas was a robber.

rsv@John:19:1 @ Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.

rsv@John:19:2 @ And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple robe;

rsv@John:19:6 @ When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no crime in him."

rsv@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he has made himself the Son of God."

rsv@John:19:9 @ he entered the praetorium again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave no answer.

rsv@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin."

rsv@John:19:12 @ Upon this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar."

rsv@John:19:13 @ When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gab'batha.

rsv@John:19:15 @ They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

rsv@John:19:16 @ Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.

rsv@John:19:17 @ So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Gol'gotha.

rsv@John:19:18 @ There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.

rsv@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

rsv@John:19:22 @ Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."

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

rsv@John:19:24 @ so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be." This was to fulfil the scripture, "They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots."

rsv@John:19:26 @ When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!"

rsv@John:19:28 @ After this Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfil the scripture), "I thirst."

rsv@John:19:30 @ When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished"; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

rsv@John:19:31 @ Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

rsv@John:19:32 @ So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him;

rsv@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.

rsv@John:19:36 @ For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be broken."

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

rsv@John:19:38 @ After this Joseph of Arimathe'a, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took away his body.

rsv@John:19:39 @ Nicode'mus also, who had at first come to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds' weight.

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

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

rsv@John:20:4 @ They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first;

rsv@John:20:7 @ and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself.

rsv@John:20:8 @ Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;

rsv@John:20:11 @ But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb;

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

rsv@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."

rsv@John:20:16 @ Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rab-bo'ni!" (which means Teacher).

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

rsv@John:20:20 @ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

rsv@John:20:22 @ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

rsv@John:20:23 @ If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."

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

rsv@John:20:28 @ Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

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

rsv@John:21:1 @ After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tibe'ri-as; and he revealed himself in this way.

rsv@John:21:2 @ Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathan'a-el of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zeb'edee, and two others of his disciples were together.

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

rsv@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work, and sprang into the sea.

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

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

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

rsv@John:21:14 @ This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

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

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

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

rsv@John:21:20 @ Peter turned and saw following them the disciple whom Jesus loved, who had lain close to his breast at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?"

rsv@Acts:1:3 @ To them he presented himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God.

rsv@Acts:1:4 @ And while staying with them he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me,

rsv@Acts:1:5 @ for John baptized with water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."

rsv@Acts:1:6 @ So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"

rsv@Acts:1:7 @ He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority.

rsv@Acts:1:9 @ And when he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

rsv@Acts:1:12 @ Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day's journey away;

rsv@Acts:1:13 @ and when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James.

rsv@Acts:1:14 @ All these with one accord devoted themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

rsv@Acts:1:15 @ In those days Peter stood up among the brethren (the company of persons was in all about a hundred and twenty), and said,

rsv@Acts:1:16 @ "Brethren, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to those who arrested Jesus.

rsv@Acts:1:17 @ For he was numbered among us, and was allotted his share in this ministry.

rsv@Acts:1:18 @ (Now this man bought a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.

rsv@Acts:1:19 @ And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Akel'dama, that is, Field of Blood.)

rsv@Acts:1:21 @ So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

rsv@Acts:1:23 @ And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsab'bas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthi'as.

rsv@Acts:1:24 @ And they prayed and said, "Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which one of these two thou hast chosen

rsv@Acts:1:25 @ to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside, to go to his own place."

rsv@Acts:1:26 @ And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthi'as; and he was enrolled with the eleven apostles.

rsv@Acts:2:2 @ And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

rsv@Acts:2:3 @ And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them.

rsv@Acts:2:4 @ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

rsv@Acts:2:6 @ And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

rsv@Acts:2:7 @ And they were amazed and wondered, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

rsv@Acts:2:9 @ Par'thians and Medes and E'lamites and residents of Mesopota'mia, Judea and Cappado'cia, Pontus and Asia,

rsv@Acts:2:12 @ And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?"

rsv@Acts:2:13 @ But others mocking said, "They are filled with new wine."

rsv@Acts:2:14 @ But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.

rsv@Acts:2:20 @ the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and manifest day.

rsv@Acts:2:21 @ And it shall be that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'

rsv@Acts:2:22 @ "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know--

rsv@Acts:2:23 @ this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.

rsv@Acts:2:24 @ But God raised him up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.

rsv@Acts:2:26 @ therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; moreover my flesh will dwell in hope.

rsv@Acts:2:29 @ "Brethren, I may say to you confidently of the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

rsv@Acts:2:31 @ he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

rsv@Acts:2:32 @ This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.

rsv@Acts:2:33 @ Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you see and hear.

rsv@Acts:2:36 @ Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."

rsv@Acts:2:38 @ And Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

rsv@Acts:2:40 @ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation."

rsv@Acts:2:41 @ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

rsv@Acts:2:42 @ And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

rsv@Acts:2:44 @ And all who believed were together and had all things in common;

rsv@Acts:2:45 @ and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need.

rsv@Acts:2:47 @ praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

rsv@Acts:3:2 @ And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at that gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms of those who entered the temple.

rsv@Acts:3:3 @ Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms.

rsv@Acts:3:4 @ And Peter directed his gaze at him, with John, and said, "Look at us."

rsv@Acts:3:5 @ And he fixed his attention upon them, expecting to receive something from them.

rsv@Acts:3:7 @ And he took him by the right hand and raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.

rsv@Acts:3:8 @ And leaping up he stood and walked and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

rsv@Acts:3:10 @ and recognized him as the one who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

rsv@Acts:3:11 @ While he clung to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico called Solomon's, astounded.

rsv@Acts:3:12 @ And when Peter saw it he addressed the people, "Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we had made him walk?

rsv@Acts:3:13 @ The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.

rsv@Acts:3:14 @ But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

rsv@Acts:3:15 @ and killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses.

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

rsv@Acts:4:3 @ And they arrested them and put them in custody until the morrow, for it was already evening.

rsv@Acts:4:4 @ But many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to about five thousand.

rsv@Acts:4:5 @ On the morrow their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem,

rsv@Acts:4:7 @ And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, "By what power or by what name did you do this?"

rsv@Acts:4:8 @ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders,

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

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

rsv@Acts:4:14 @ But seeing the man that had been healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition.

rsv@Acts:4:15 @ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred with one another,

rsv@Acts:4:16 @ saying, "What shall we do with these men? For that a notable sign has been performed through them is manifest to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

rsv@Acts:4:18 @ So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

rsv@Acts:4:19 @ But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge;

rsv@Acts:4:22 @ For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

rsv@Acts:4:23 @ When they were released they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

rsv@Acts:4:24 @ And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, "Sovereign Lord, who didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them,

rsv@Acts:4:26 @ The kings of the earth set themselves in array, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord and against his Anointed'--

rsv@Acts:4:31 @ And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness.

rsv@Acts:4:36 @ Thus Joseph who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas (which means, Son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,

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

rsv@Acts:5:5 @ When Anani'as heard these words, he fell down and died. And great fear came upon all who heard of it.

rsv@Acts:5:6 @ The young men rose and wrapped him up and carried him out and buried him.

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

rsv@Acts:5:9 @ But Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Hark, the feet of those that have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."

rsv@Acts:5:10 @ Immediately she fell down at his feet and died. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

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

rsv@Acts:5:14 @ And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,

rsv@Acts:5:16 @ The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

rsv@Acts:5:17 @ But the high priest rose up and all who were with him, that is, the party of the Sad'ducees, and filled with jealousy

rsv@Acts:5:18 @ they arrested the apostles and put them in the common prison.

rsv@Acts:5:23 @ "We found the prison securely locked and the sentries standing at the doors, but when we opened it we found no one inside."

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

rsv@Acts:5:26 @ Then the captain with the officers went and brought them, but without violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.

rsv@Acts:5:27 @ And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,

rsv@Acts:5:28 @ saying, "We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us."

rsv@Acts:6:2 @ And the twelve summoned the body of the disciples and said, "It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables.

rsv@Acts:6:5 @ And what they said pleased the whole multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Proch'orus, and Nica'nor, and Ti'mon, and Par'menas, and Nicola'us, a proselyte of Antioch.

rsv@Acts:6:6 @ These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands upon them.

rsv@Acts:6:7 @ And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.

rsv@Acts:6:9 @ Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyre'nians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cili'cia and Asia, arose and disputed with Stephen.

rsv@Acts:6:11 @ Then they secretly instigated men, who said, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."

rsv@Acts:6:12 @ And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council,

rsv@Acts:6:14 @ for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us."

rsv@Acts:7:2 @ And Stephen said: "Brethren and fathers, hear me. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopota'mia, before he lived in Haran,

rsv@Acts:7:3 @ and said to him, `Depart from your land and from your kindred and go into the land which I will show you.'

rsv@Acts:7:4 @ Then he departed from the land of the Chalde'ans, and lived in Haran. And after his father died, God removed him from there into this land in which you are now living;

rsv@Acts:7:5 @ yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot's length, but promised to give it to him in possession and to his posterity after him, though he had no child.

rsv@Acts:7:6 @ And God spoke to this effect, that his posterity would be aliens in a land belonging to others, who would enslave them and ill-treat them four hundred years.

rsv@Acts:7:8 @ And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.

rsv@Acts:7:10 @ and rescued him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him governor over Egypt and over all his household.

rsv@Acts:7:14 @ And Joseph sent and called to him Jacob his father and all his kindred, seventy-five souls;

rsv@Acts:7:15 @ and Jacob went down into Egypt. And he died, himself and our fathers,

rsv@Acts:7:16 @ and they were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

rsv@Acts:7:17 @ "But as the time of the promise drew near, which God had granted to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt

rsv@Acts:7:19 @ He dealt craftily with our race and forced our fathers to expose their infants, that they might not be kept alive.

rsv@Acts:7:21 @ and when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son.

rsv@Acts:7:22 @ And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.

rsv@Acts:7:24 @ And seeing one of them being wronged, he defended the oppressed man and avenged him by striking the Egyptian.

rsv@Acts:7:25 @ He supposed that his brethren understood that God was giving them deliverance by his hand, but they did not understand.

rsv@Acts:7:26 @ And on the following day he appeared to them as they were quarreling and would have reconciled them, saying, `Men, you are brethren, why do you wrong each other?'

rsv@Acts:7:28 @ Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'

rsv@Acts:7:29 @ At this retort Moses fled, and became an exile in the land of Mid'ian, where he became the father of two sons.

rsv@Acts:7:30 @ "Now when forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.

rsv@Acts:7:31 @ When Moses saw it he wondered at the sight; and as he drew near to look, the voice of the Lord came,

rsv@Acts:7:32 @ `I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob.' And Moses trembled and did not dare to look.

rsv@Acts:7:35 @ "This Moses whom they refused, saying, `Who made you a ruler and a judge?' God sent as both ruler and deliverer by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush.

rsv@Acts:7:36 @ He led them out, having performed wonders and signs in Egypt and at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.

rsv@Acts:7:37 @ This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, `God will raise up for you a prophet from your brethren as he raised me up.'

rsv@Acts:7:38 @ This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; and he received living oracles to give to us.

rsv@Acts:7:39 @ Our fathers refused to obey him, but thrust him aside, and in their hearts they turned to Egypt,

rsv@Acts:7:40 @ saying to Aaron, `Make for us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who led us out from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'

rsv@Acts:7:41 @ And they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to the idol and rejoiced in the works of their hands.

rsv@Acts:7:42 @ But God turned and gave them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: `Did you offer to me slain beasts and sacrifices, forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

rsv@Acts:7:44 @ "Our fathers had the tent of witness in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses directed him to make it, according to the pattern that he had seen.

rsv@Acts:7:45 @ Our fathers in turn brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations which God thrust out before our fathers. So it was until the days of David,

rsv@Acts:7:46 @ who found favor in the sight of God and asked leave to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.

rsv@Acts:7:51 @ "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you.

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

rsv@Acts:7:53 @ you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it."

rsv@Acts:7:54 @ Now when they heard these things they were enraged, and they ground their teeth against him.

rsv@Acts:7:55 @ But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God;

rsv@Acts:7:56 @ and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God."

rsv@Acts:7:57 @ But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together upon him.

rsv@Acts:7:58 @ Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

rsv@Acts:7:59 @ And as they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

rsv@Acts:7:60 @ And he knelt down and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

rsv@Acts:8:1 @ And Saul was consenting to his death. And on that day a great persecution arose against the church in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the region of Judea and Sama'ria, except the apostles.

rsv@Acts:8:2 @ Devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.

rsv@Acts:8:3 @ But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.

rsv@Acts:8:4 @ Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word.

rsv@Acts:8:5 @ Philip went down to a city of Sama'ria, and proclaimed to them the Christ.

rsv@Acts:8:6 @ And the multitudes with one accord gave heed to what was said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs which he did.

rsv@Acts:8:7 @ For unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice; and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.

rsv@Acts:8:9 @ But there was a man named Simon who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the nation of Sama'ria, saying that he himself was somebody great.

rsv@Acts:8:10 @ They all gave heed to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is that power of God which is called Great."

rsv@Acts:8:11 @ And they gave heed to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his magic.

rsv@Acts:8:12 @ But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

rsv@Acts:8:13 @ Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip. And seeing signs and great miracles performed, he was amazed.

rsv@Acts:8:14 @ Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Sama'ria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John,

rsv@Acts:8:15 @ who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit;

rsv@Acts:8:16 @ for it had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

rsv@Acts:8:17 @ Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.

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

rsv@Acts:8:22 @ Repent therefore of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.

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

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

rsv@Acts:8:28 @ and was returning; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.

rsv@Acts:8:30 @ So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and asked, "Do you understand what you are reading?"

rsv@Acts:8:31 @ And he said, "How can I, unless some one guides me?" And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

rsv@Acts:8:32 @ Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this: "As a sheep led to the slaughter or a lamb before its shearer is dumb, so he opens not his mouth.

rsv@Acts:8:33 @ In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken up from the earth."

rsv@Acts:8:35 @ Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this scripture he told him the good news of Jesus.

rsv@Acts:8:36 @ And as they went along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "See, here is water! What is to prevent my being baptized?"

rsv@Acts:8:37 @ And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

rsv@Acts:8:39 @ But Philip was found at Azo'tus, and passing on he preached the gospel to all the towns till he came to Caesare'a.

rsv@Acts:9:2 @ and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

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

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

rsv@Acts:9:10 @ Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Anani'as. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Anani'as." And he said, "Here I am, Lord."

rsv@Acts:9:11 @ And the Lord said to him, "Rise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul; for behold, he is praying,

rsv@Acts:9:12 @ and he has seen a man named Anani'as come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight."

rsv@Acts:9:13 @ But Anani'as answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem;

rsv@Acts:9:17 @ So Anani'as departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

rsv@Acts:9:18 @ And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized,

rsv@Acts:9:19 @ and took food and was strengthened. For several days he was with the disciples at Damascus.

rsv@Acts:9:20 @ And in the synagogues immediately he proclaimed Jesus, saying, "He is the Son of God."

rsv@Acts:9:21 @ And all who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called on this name? And he has come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests."

rsv@Acts:9:22 @ But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ.

rsv@Acts:9:23 @ When many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him,

rsv@Acts:9:26 @ And when he had come to Jerusalem he attempted to join the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple.

rsv@Acts:9:27 @ But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

rsv@Acts:9:29 @ preaching boldly in the name of the Lord. And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists; but they were seeking to kill him.

rsv@Acts:9:31 @ So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Sama'ria had peace and was built up; and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit it was multiplied.

rsv@Acts:9:32 @ Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints that lived at Lydda.

rsv@Acts:9:33 @ There he found a man named Aene'as, who had been bedridden for eight years and was paralyzed.

rsv@Acts:9:34 @ And Peter said to him, "Aene'as, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed." And immediately he rose.

rsv@Acts:9:35 @ And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

rsv@Acts:9:36 @ Now there was at Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity.

rsv@Acts:9:37 @ In those days she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

rsv@Acts:9:40 @ But Peter put them all outside and knelt down and prayed; then turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, rise." And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.

rsv@Acts:9:41 @ And he gave her his hand and lifted her up. Then calling the saints and widows he presented her alive.

rsv@Acts:9:42 @ And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.

rsv@Acts:9:43 @ And he stayed in Joppa for many days with one Simon, a tanner.

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

rsv@Acts:10:2 @ a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms liberally to the people, and prayed constantly to God.

rsv@Acts:10:4 @ And he stared at him in terror, and said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

rsv@Acts:10:5 @ And now send men to Joppa, and bring one Simon who is called Peter;

rsv@Acts:10:7 @ When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those that waited on him,

rsv@Acts:10:8 @ and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

rsv@Acts:10:10 @ And he became hungry and desired something to eat; but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance

rsv@Acts:10:11 @ and saw the heaven opened, and something descending, like a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth.

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

rsv@Acts:10:16 @ This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.

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

rsv@Acts:10:18 @ and called out to ask whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there.

rsv@Acts:10:22 @ And they said, "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to hear what you have to say."

rsv@Acts:10:23 @ So he called them in to be his guests. The next day he rose and went off with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

rsv@Acts:10:24 @ And on the following day they entered Caesare'a. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his kinsmen and close friends.

rsv@Acts:10:25 @ When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.

rsv@Acts:10:26 @ But Peter lifted him up, saying, "Stand up; I too am a man."

rsv@Acts:10:27 @ And as he talked with him, he went in and found many persons gathered;

rsv@Acts:10:31 @ saying, `Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God.

rsv@Acts:10:32 @ Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon who is called Peter; he is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the seaside.'

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

rsv@Acts:10:34 @ And Peter opened his mouth and said: "Truly I perceive that God shows no partiality,

rsv@Acts:10:37 @ the word which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:

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

rsv@Acts:10:40 @ but God raised him on the third day and made him manifest;

rsv@Acts:10:42 @ And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that he is the one ordained by God to be judge of the living and the dead.

rsv@Acts:10:45 @ And the believers from among the circumcised who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.

rsv@Acts:10:46 @ For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared,

rsv@Acts:10:47 @ "Can any one forbid water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?"

rsv@Acts:10:48 @ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.

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

rsv@Acts:11:2 @ So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him,

rsv@Acts:11:3 @ saying, "Why did you go to uncircumcised men and eat with them?"

rsv@Acts:11:4 @ But Peter began and explained to them in order:

rsv@Acts:11:6 @ Looking at it closely I observed animals and beasts of prey and reptiles and birds of the air.

rsv@Acts:11:8 @ But I said, `No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'

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

rsv@Acts:11:10 @ This happened three times, and all was drawn up again into heaven.

rsv@Acts:11:11 @ At that very moment three men arrived at the house in which we were, sent to me from Caesare'a.

rsv@Acts:11:12 @ And the Spirit told me to go with them, making no distinction. These six brethren also accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.

rsv@Acts:11:13 @ And he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying, `Send to Joppa and bring Simon called Peter;

rsv@Acts:11:14 @ he will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.'

rsv@Acts:11:16 @ And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, `John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

rsv@Acts:11:17 @ If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?"

rsv@Acts:11:18 @ When they heard this they were silenced. And they glorified God, saying, "Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance unto life."

rsv@Acts:11:19 @ Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoeni'cia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none except Jews.

rsv@Acts:11:21 @ And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number that believed turned to the Lord.

rsv@Acts:11:23 @ When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad; and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose;

rsv@Acts:11:24 @ for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large company was added to the Lord.

rsv@Acts:11:26 @ and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church, and taught a large company of people; and in Antioch the disciples were for the first time called Christians.

rsv@Acts:11:28 @ And one of them named Ag'abus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world; and this took place in the days of Claudius.

rsv@Acts:11:29 @ And the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the brethren who lived in Judea;

rsv@Acts:12:1 @ About that time Herod the king laid violent hands upon some who belonged to the church.

rsv@Acts:12:2 @ He killed James the brother of John with the sword;

rsv@Acts:12:3 @ and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread.

rsv@Acts:12:4 @ And when he had seized him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people.

rsv@Acts:12:7 @ and behold, an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, "Get up quickly." And the chains fell off his hands.

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

rsv@Acts:12:10 @ When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened to them of its own accord, and they went out and passed on through one street; and immediately the angel left him.

rsv@Acts:12:11 @ And Peter came to himself, and said, "Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting."

rsv@Acts:12:12 @ When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.

rsv@Acts:12:13 @ And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a maid named Rhoda came to answer.

rsv@Acts:12:15 @ They said to her, "You are mad." But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel!"

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

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

rsv@Acts:12:19 @ And when Herod had sought for him and could not find him, he examined the sentries and ordered that they should be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesare'a, and remained there.

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

rsv@Acts:12:21 @ On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and made an oration to them.

rsv@Acts:12:22 @ And the people shouted, "The voice of a god, and not of man!"

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

rsv@Acts:12:24 @ But the word of God grew and multiplied.

rsv@Acts:12:25 @ And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their mission, bringing with them John whose other name was Mark.

rsv@Acts:13:1 @ Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyre'ne, Man'a-en a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

rsv@Acts:13:2 @ While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

rsv@Acts:13:4 @ So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleu'cia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

rsv@Acts:13:5 @ When they arrived at Sal'amis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to assist them.

rsv@Acts:13:6 @ When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, named Bar-Jesus.

rsv@Acts:13:7 @ He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

rsv@Acts:13:9 @ But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him

rsv@Acts:13:10 @ and said, "You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?

rsv@Acts:13:11 @ And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind and unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand.

rsv@Acts:13:12 @ Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

rsv@Acts:13:13 @ Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphyl'ia. And John left them and returned to Jerusalem;

rsv@Acts:13:14 @ but they passed on from Perga and came to Antioch of Pisid'ia. And on the sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.

rsv@Acts:13:17 @ The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it.

rsv@Acts:13:19 @ And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years.

rsv@Acts:13:21 @ Then they asked for a king; and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

rsv@Acts:13:22 @ And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; of whom he testified and said, `I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'

rsv@Acts:13:23 @ Of this man's posterity God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised.

rsv@Acts:13:24 @ Before his coming John had preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

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

rsv@Acts:13:28 @ Though they could charge him with nothing deserving death, yet they asked Pilate to have him killed.

rsv@Acts:13:29 @ And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

rsv@Acts:13:30 @ But God raised him from the dead;

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

rsv@Acts:13:32 @ And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers,

rsv@Acts:13:33 @ this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, `Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee.'

rsv@Acts:13:34 @ And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he spoke in this way, `I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.'

rsv@Acts:13:36 @ For David, after he had served the counsel of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption;

rsv@Acts:13:37 @ but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.

rsv@Acts:13:38 @ Let it be known to you therefore, brethren, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

rsv@Acts:13:39 @ and by him every one that believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.

rsv@Acts:13:41 @ `Behold, you scoffers, and wonder, and perish; for I do a deed in your days, a deed you will never believe, if one declares it to you.'"

rsv@Acts:13:42 @ As they went out, the people begged that these things might be told them the next sabbath.

rsv@Acts:13:43 @ And when the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.

rsv@Acts:13:44 @ The next sabbath almost the whole city gathered together to hear the word of God.

rsv@Acts:13:45 @ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted what was spoken by Paul, and reviled him.

rsv@Acts:13:47 @ For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, `I have set you to be a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.'"

rsv@Acts:13:48 @ And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God; and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

rsv@Acts:13:50 @ But the Jews incited the devout women of high standing and the leading men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district.

rsv@Acts:13:52 @ And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

rsv@Acts:14:1 @ Now at Ico'nium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue, and so spoke that a great company believed, both of Jews and of Greeks.

rsv@Acts:14:2 @ But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren.

rsv@Acts:14:3 @ So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

rsv@Acts:14:4 @ But the people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

rsv@Acts:14:6 @ they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycao'nia, and to the surrounding country;

rsv@Acts:14:7 @ and there they preached the gospel.

rsv@Acts:14:8 @ Now at Lystra there was a man sitting, who could not use his feet; he was a cripple from birth, who had never walked.

rsv@Acts:14:9 @ He listened to Paul speaking; and Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well,

rsv@Acts:14:10 @ said in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And he sprang up and walked.

rsv@Acts:14:11 @ And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycao'nian, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!"

rsv@Acts:14:12 @ Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, because he was the chief speaker, they called Hermes.

rsv@Acts:14:13 @ And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifice with the people.

rsv@Acts:14:14 @ But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their garments and rushed out among the multitude, crying,

rsv@Acts:14:16 @ In past generations he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways;

rsv@Acts:14:18 @ With these words they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them.

rsv@Acts:14:19 @ But Jews came there from Antioch and Ico'nium; and having persuaded the people, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

rsv@Acts:14:20 @ But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city; and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.

rsv@Acts:14:21 @ When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Ico'nium and to Antioch,

rsv@Acts:14:23 @ And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they believed.

rsv@Acts:14:24 @ Then they passed through Pisid'ia, and came to Pamphyl'ia.

rsv@Acts:14:26 @ and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

rsv@Acts:14:27 @ And when they arrived, they gathered the church together and declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.

rsv@Acts:14:28 @ And they remained no little time with the disciples.

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

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

rsv@Acts:15:3 @ So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoeni'cia and Sama'ria, reporting the conversion of the Gentiles, and they gave great joy to all the brethren.

rsv@Acts:15:4 @ When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they declared all that God had done with them.

rsv@Acts:15:5 @ But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose up, and said, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses."

rsv@Acts:15:6 @ The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter.

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

rsv@Acts:15:11 @ But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will."

rsv@Acts:15:12 @ And all the assembly kept silence; and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

rsv@Acts:15:13 @ After they finished speaking, James replied, "Brethren, listen to me.

rsv@Acts:15:14 @ Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

rsv@Acts:15:17 @ that the rest of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name,

rsv@Acts:15:20 @ but should write to them to abstain from the pollutions of idols and from unchastity and from what is strangled and from blood.

rsv@Acts:15:22 @ Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsab'bas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren,

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

rsv@Acts:15:25 @ it has seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

rsv@Acts:15:26 @ men who have risked their lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ.

rsv@Acts:15:28 @ For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

rsv@Acts:15:29 @ that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from unchastity. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell."

rsv@Acts:15:30 @ So when they were sent off, they went down to Antioch; and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.

rsv@Acts:15:31 @ And when they read it, they rejoiced at the exhortation.

rsv@Acts:15:32 @ And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words and strengthened them.

rsv@Acts:15:34 @ But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

rsv@Acts:15:35 @ And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Come, let us return and visit the brethren in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are."

rsv@Acts:15:36 @ And Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark.

rsv@Acts:15:38 @ And there arose a sharp contention, so that they separated from each other; Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,

rsv@Acts:15:39 @ but Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.

rsv@Acts:16:1 @ And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer; but his father was a Greek.

rsv@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

rsv@Acts:16:4 @ As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

rsv@Acts:16:5 @ So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.

rsv@Acts:16:7 @ And when they had come opposite My'sia, they attempted to go into Bithyn'ia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;

rsv@Acts:16:9 @ And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedo'nia was standing beseeching him and saying, "Come over to Macedo'nia and help us."

rsv@Acts:16:10 @ And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedo'nia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

rsv@Acts:16:12 @ and from there to Philip'pi, which is the leading city of the district of Macedo'nia, and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days;

rsv@Acts:16:13 @ and on the sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.

rsv@Acts:16:14 @ One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyati'ra, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to give heed to what was said by Paul.

rsv@Acts:16:15 @ And when she was baptized, with her household, she besought us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us.

rsv@Acts:16:17 @ She followed Paul and us, crying, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation."

rsv@Acts:16:18 @ And this she did for many days. But Paul was annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I charge you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out that very hour.

rsv@Acts:16:19 @ But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place before the rulers;

rsv@Acts:16:22 @ The crowd joined in attacking them; and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods.

rsv@Acts:16:23 @ And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.

rsv@Acts:16:24 @ Having received this charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

rsv@Acts:16:26 @ and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were unfastened.

rsv@Acts:16:27 @ When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

rsv@Acts:16:28 @ But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."

rsv@Acts:16:29 @ And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas,

rsv@Acts:16:30 @ and brought them out and said, "Men, what must I do to be saved?"

rsv@Acts:16:31 @ And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

rsv@Acts:16:33 @ And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he was baptized at once, with all his family.

rsv@Acts:16:34 @ Then he brought them up into his house, and set food before them; and he rejoiced with all his household that he had believed in God.

rsv@Acts:16:36 @ And the jailer reported the words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace."

rsv@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now cast us out secretly? No! let them come themselves and take us out."

rsv@Acts:16:38 @ The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens;

rsv@Acts:16:39 @ so they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city.

rsv@Acts:16:40 @ So they went out of the prison, and visited Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they exhorted them and departed.

rsv@Acts:17:1 @ Now when they had passed through Amphip'olis and Apollo'nia, they came to Thessaloni'ca, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

rsv@Acts:17:2 @ And Paul went in, as was his custom, and for three weeks he argued with them from the scriptures,

rsv@Acts:17:4 @ And some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas; as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women.

rsv@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews were jealous, and taking some wicked fellows of the rabble, they gathered a crowd, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the people.

rsv@Acts:17:6 @ And when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brethren before the city authorities, crying, "These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

rsv@Acts:17:7 @ and Jason has received them; and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."

rsv@Acts:17:8 @ And the people and the city authorities were disturbed when they heard this.

rsv@Acts:17:10 @ The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroe'a; and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue.

rsv@Acts:17:11 @ Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessaloni'ca, for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

rsv@Acts:17:12 @ Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek women of high standing as well as men.

rsv@Acts:17:13 @ But when the Jews of Thessaloni'ca learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroe'a also, they came there too, stirring up and inciting the crowds.

rsv@Acts:17:14 @ Then the brethren immediately sent Paul off on his way to the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained there.

rsv@Acts:17:15 @ Those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.

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

rsv@Acts:17:17 @ So he argued in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the market place every day with those who chanced to be there.

rsv@Acts:17:18 @ Some also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers met him. And some said, "What would this babbler say?" Others said, "He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities"--because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

rsv@Acts:17:21 @ Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new.

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

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

rsv@Acts:17:26 @ And he made from one every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their habitation,

rsv@Acts:17:28 @ for `In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your poets have said, `For we are indeed his offspring.'

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

rsv@Acts:17:31 @ because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and of this he has given assurance to all men by raising him from the dead."

rsv@Acts:17:32 @ Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We will hear you again about this."

rsv@Acts:17:34 @ But some men joined him and believed, among them Dionys'ius the Are-op'agite and a woman named Dam'aris and others with them.

rsv@Acts:18:2 @ And he found a Jew named Aq'uila, a native of Pontus, lately come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them;

rsv@Acts:18:3 @ and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them, and they worked, for by trade they were tentmakers.

rsv@Acts:18:4 @ And he argued in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

rsv@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedo'nia, Paul was occupied with preaching, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.

rsv@Acts:18:6 @ And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."

rsv@Acts:18:7 @ And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God; his house was next door to the synagogue.

rsv@Acts:18:8 @ Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with all his household; and many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized.

rsv@Acts:18:11 @ And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

rsv@Acts:18:12 @ But when Gallio was proconsul of Acha'ia, the Jews made a united attack upon Paul and brought him before the tribunal,

rsv@Acts:18:17 @ And they all seized Sos'thenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to this.

rsv@Acts:18:18 @ After this Paul stayed many days longer, and then took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aq'uila. At Cen'chre-ae he cut his hair, for he had a vow.

rsv@Acts:18:19 @ And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself went into the synagogue and argued with the Jews.

rsv@Acts:18:20 @ When they asked him to stay for a longer period, he declined;

rsv@Acts:18:22 @ When he had landed at Caesare'a, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch.

rsv@Acts:18:23 @ After spending some time there he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phryg'ia, strengthening all the disciples.

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

rsv@Acts:18:25 @ He had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.

rsv@Acts:18:26 @ He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aq'uila heard him, they took him and expounded to him the way of God more accurately.

rsv@Acts:18:27 @ And when he wished to cross to Acha'ia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed,

rsv@Acts:18:28 @ for he powerfully confuted the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.

rsv@Acts:19:1 @ While Apol'los was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples.

rsv@Acts:19:2 @ And he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said, "No, we have never even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."

rsv@Acts:19:3 @ And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into John's baptism."

rsv@Acts:19:4 @ And Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus."

rsv@Acts:19:5 @ On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

rsv@Acts:19:6 @ And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

rsv@Acts:19:8 @ And he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, arguing and pleading about the kingdom of God;

rsv@Acts:19:9 @ but when some were stubborn and disbelieved, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them, taking the disciples with him, and argued daily in the hall of Tyran'nus.

rsv@Acts:19:10 @ This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

rsv@Acts:19:12 @ so that handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.

rsv@Acts:19:14 @ Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this.

rsv@Acts:19:15 @ But the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?"

rsv@Acts:19:16 @ And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, mastered all of them, and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

rsv@Acts:19:17 @ And this became known to all residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks; and fear fell upon them all; and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled.

rsv@Acts:19:19 @ And a number of those who practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all; and they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver.

rsv@Acts:19:20 @ So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.

rsv@Acts:19:21 @ Now after these events Paul resolved in the Spirit to pass through Macedo'nia and Acha'ia and go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

rsv@Acts:19:22 @ And having sent into Macedo'nia two of his helpers, Timothy and Eras'tus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

rsv@Acts:19:24 @ For a man named Deme'trius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Ar'temis, brought no little business to the craftsmen.

rsv@Acts:19:25 @ These he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, "Men, you know that from this business we have our wealth.

rsv@Acts:19:26 @ And you see and hear that not only at Ephesus but almost throughout all Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable company of people, saying that gods made with hands are not gods.

rsv@Acts:19:27 @ And there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the great goddess Ar'temis may count for nothing, and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world worship."

rsv@Acts:19:28 @ When they heard this they were enraged, and cried out, "Great is Ar'temis of the Ephesians!"

rsv@Acts:19:29 @ So the city was filled with the confusion; and they rushed together into the theater, dragging with them Ga'ius and Aristar'chus, Macedo'nians who were Paul's companions in travel.

rsv@Acts:19:30 @ Paul wished to go in among the crowd, but the disciples would not let him;

rsv@Acts:19:31 @ some of the A'si-archs also, who were friends of his, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.

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

rsv@Acts:19:33 @ Some of the crowd prompted Alexander, whom the Jews had put forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand, wishing to make a defense to the people.

rsv@Acts:19:34 @ But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all with one voice cried out, "Great is Ar'temis of the Ephesians!"

rsv@Acts:19:35 @ And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, "Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Ar'temis, and of the sacred stone that fell from the sky?

rsv@Acts:19:36 @ Seeing then that these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash.

rsv@Acts:19:39 @ But if you seek anything further, it shall be settled in the regular assembly.

rsv@Acts:19:40 @ For we are in danger of being charged with rioting today, there being no cause that we can give to justify this commotion."

rsv@Acts:19:41 @ And when he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.

rsv@Acts:20:1 @ After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples and having exhorted them took leave of them and departed for Macedo'nia.

rsv@Acts:20:3 @ There he spent three months, and when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedo'nia.

rsv@Acts:20:4 @ Sop'ater of Beroe'a, the son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him; and of the Thessalo'nians, Aristar'chus and Secun'dus; and Ga'ius of Derbe, and Timothy; and the Asians, Tych'icus and Troph'imus.

rsv@Acts:20:6 @ but we sailed away from Philip'pi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we came to them at Tro'as, where we stayed for seven days.

rsv@Acts:20:7 @ On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and he prolonged his speech until midnight.

rsv@Acts:20:8 @ There were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered.

rsv@Acts:20:9 @ And a young man named Eu'tychus was sitting in the window. He sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer; and being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.

rsv@Acts:20:10 @ But Paul went down and bent over him, and embracing him said, "Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him."

rsv@Acts:20:11 @ And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed.

rsv@Acts:20:12 @ And they took the lad away alive, and were not a little comforted.

rsv@Acts:20:13 @ But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land.

rsv@Acts:20:15 @ And sailing from there we came the following day opposite Chi'os; the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after that we came to Mile'tus.

rsv@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.

rsv@Acts:20:17 @ And from Mile'tus he sent to Ephesus and called to him the elders of the church.

rsv@Acts:20:18 @ And when they came to him, he said to them: "You yourselves know how I lived among you all the time from the first day that I set foot in Asia,

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

rsv@Acts:20:28 @ Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God which he obtained with the blood of his own Son.

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

rsv@Acts:20:33 @ I coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel.

rsv@Acts:20:34 @ You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities, and to those who were with me.

rsv@Acts:20:35 @ In all things I have shown you that by so toiling one must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, `It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

rsv@Acts:20:36 @ And when he had spoken thus, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

rsv@Acts:20:37 @ And they all wept and embraced Paul and kissed him,

rsv@Acts:21:1 @ And when we had parted from them and set sail, we came by a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Pat'ara.

rsv@Acts:21:3 @ When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload its cargo.

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

rsv@Acts:21:5 @ And when our days there were ended, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way till we were outside the city; and kneeling down on the beach we prayed and bade one another farewell.

rsv@Acts:21:6 @ Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home.

rsv@Acts:21:7 @ When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolema'is; and we greeted the brethren and stayed with them for one day.

rsv@Acts:21:8 @ On the morrow we departed and came to Caesare'a; and we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

rsv@Acts:21:9 @ And he had four unmarried daughters, who prophesied.

rsv@Acts:21:10 @ While we were staying for some days, a prophet named Ag'abus came down from Judea.

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

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

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

rsv@Acts:21:17 @ When we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

rsv@Acts:21:19 @ After greeting them, he related one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.

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

rsv@Acts:21:25 @ But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from unchastity."

rsv@Acts:21:26 @ Then Paul took the men, and the next day he purified himself with them and went into the temple, to give notice when the days of purification would be fulfilled and the offering presented for every one of them.

rsv@Acts:21:27 @ When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, who had seen him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd, and laid hands on him,

rsv@Acts:21:28 @ crying out, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching men everywhere against the people and the law and this place; moreover he also brought Greeks into the temple, and he has defiled this holy place."

rsv@Acts:21:29 @ For they had previously seen Troph'imus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

rsv@Acts:21:30 @ Then all the city was aroused, and the people ran together; they seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.

rsv@Acts:21:32 @ He at once took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them; and when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

rsv@Acts:21:33 @ Then the tribune came up and arrested him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done.

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

rsv@Acts:21:35 @ And when he came to the steps, he was actually carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;

rsv@Acts:21:36 @ for the mob of the people followed, crying, "Away with him!"

rsv@Acts:21:38 @ Are you not the Egyptian, then, who recently stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?"

rsv@Acts:21:39 @ Paul replied, "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cili'cia, a citizen of no mean city; I beg you, let me speak to the people."

rsv@Acts:21:40 @ And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the steps, motioned with his hand to the people; and when there was a great hush, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying:

rsv@Acts:22:2 @ And when they heard that he addressed them in the Hebrew language, they were the more quiet. And he said:

rsv@Acts:22:3 @ "I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cili'cia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gama'li-el, educated according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God as you all are this day.

rsv@Acts:22:4 @ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering to prison both men and women,

rsv@Acts:22:5 @ as the high priest and the whole council of elders bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brethren, and I journeyed to Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished.

rsv@Acts:22:8 @ And I answered, `Who are you, Lord?' And he said to me, `I am Jesus of Nazareth whom you are persecuting.'

rsv@Acts:22:10 @ And I said, `What shall I do, Lord?' And the Lord said to me, `Rise, and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do.'

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

rsv@Acts:22:12 @ "And one Anani'as, a devout man according to the law, well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there,

rsv@Acts:22:13 @ came to me, and standing by me said to me, `Brother Saul, receive your sight.' And in that very hour I received my sight and saw him.

rsv@Acts:22:14 @ And he said, `The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the Just One and to hear a voice from his mouth;

rsv@Acts:22:16 @ And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.'

rsv@Acts:22:17 @ "When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance

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

rsv@Acts:22:20 @ And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I also was standing by and approving, and keeping the garments of those who killed him.'

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

rsv@Acts:22:23 @ And as they cried out and waved their garments and threw dust into the air,

rsv@Acts:22:24 @ the tribune commanded him to be brought into the barracks, and ordered him to be examined by scourging, to find out why they shouted thus against him.

rsv@Acts:22:25 @ But when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman citizen, and uncondemned?"

rsv@Acts:22:28 @ The tribune answered, "I bought this citizenship for a large sum." Paul said, "But I was born a citizen."

rsv@Acts:22:29 @ So those who were about to examine him withdrew from him instantly; and the tribune also was afraid, for he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had bound him.

rsv@Acts:22:30 @ But on the morrow, desiring to know the real reason why the Jews accused him, he unbound him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and he brought Paul down and set him before them.

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

rsv@Acts:23:2 @ And the high priest Anani'as commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

rsv@Acts:23:3 @ Then Paul said to him, "God shall strike you, you whitewashed wall! Are you sitting to judge me according to the law, and yet contrary to the law you order me to be struck?"

rsv@Acts:23:6 @ But when Paul perceived that one part were Sad'ducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees; with respect to the hope and the resurrection of the dead I am on trial."

rsv@Acts:23:7 @ And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sad'ducees; and the assembly was divided.

rsv@Acts:23:8 @ For the Sad'ducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.

rsv@Acts:23:9 @ Then a great clamor arose; and some of the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and contended, "We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit or an angel spoke to him?"

rsv@Acts:23:10 @ And when the dissension became violent, the tribune, afraid that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them and bring him into the barracks.

rsv@Acts:23:11 @ The following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must bear witness also at Rome."

rsv@Acts:23:12 @ When it was day, the Jews made a plot and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

rsv@Acts:23:14 @ And they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, "We have strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste no food till we have killed Paul.

rsv@Acts:23:16 @ Now the son of Paul's sister heard of their ambush; so he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.

rsv@Acts:23:17 @ And Paul called one of the centurions and said, "Take this young man to the tribune; for he has something to tell him."

rsv@Acts:23:18 @ So he took him and brought him to the tribune and said, "Paul the prisoner called me and asked me to bring this young man to you, as he has something to say to you."

rsv@Acts:23:19 @ The tribune took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, "What is it that you have to tell me?"

rsv@Acts:23:20 @ And he said, "The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to inquire somewhat more closely about him.

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

rsv@Acts:23:22 @ So the tribune dismissed the young man, charging him, "Tell no one that you have informed me of this."

rsv@Acts:23:23 @ Then he called two of the centurions and said, "At the third hour of the night get ready two hundred soldiers with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go as far as Caesare'a.

rsv@Acts:23:27 @ This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen.

rsv@Acts:23:28 @ And desiring to know the charge on which they accused him, I brought him down to their council.

rsv@Acts:23:29 @ I found that he was accused about questions of their law, but charged with nothing deserving death or imprisonment.

rsv@Acts:23:30 @ And when it was disclosed to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, ordering his accusers also to state before you what they have against him."

rsv@Acts:23:32 @ And on the morrow they returned to the barracks, leaving the horsemen to go on with him.

rsv@Acts:23:33 @ When they came to Caesare'a and delivered the letter to the governor, they presented Paul also before him.

rsv@Acts:23:34 @ On reading the letter, he asked to what province he belonged. When he learned that he was from Cili'cia

rsv@Acts:23:35 @ he said, "I will hear you when your accusers arrive." And he commanded him to be guarded in Herod's praetorium.

rsv@Acts:24:2 @ and when he was called, Tertul'lus began to accuse him, saying: "Since through you we enjoy much peace, and since by your provision, most excellent Felix, reforms are introduced on behalf of this nation,

rsv@Acts:24:6 @ He even tried to profane the temple, but we seized him.

rsv@Acts:24:8 @ The Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that all this was so.

rsv@Acts:24:9 @ And when the governor had motioned to him to speak, Paul replied: "Realizing that for many years you have been judge over this nation, I cheerfully make my defense.

rsv@Acts:24:17 @ As I was doing this, they found me purified in the temple, without any crowd or tumult. But some Jews from Asia--

rsv@Acts:24:20 @ except this one thing which I cried out while standing among them, `With respect to the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you this day.'"

rsv@Acts:24:21 @ But Felix, having a rather accurate knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, "When Lys'ias the tribune comes down, I will decide your case."

rsv@Acts:24:22 @ Then he gave orders to the centurion that he should be kept in custody but should have some liberty, and that none of his friends should be prevented from attending to his needs.

rsv@Acts:24:24 @ And as he argued about justice and self-control and future judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, "Go away for the present; when I have an opportunity I will summon you."

rsv@Acts:24:25 @ At the same time he hoped that money would be given him by Paul. So he sent for him often and conversed with him.

rsv@Acts:24:26 @ But when two years had elapsed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.

rsv@Acts:25:2 @ And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they urged him,

rsv@Acts:25:4 @ Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesare'a, and that he himself intended to go there shortly.

rsv@Acts:25:6 @ When he had stayed among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesare'a; and the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought.

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

rsv@Acts:25:9 @ But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, "Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem, and there be tried on these charges before me?"

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

rsv@Acts:25:11 @ If then I am a wrongdoer, and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death; but if there is nothing in their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."

rsv@Acts:25:12 @ Then Festus, when he had conferred with his council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar; to Caesar you shall go."

rsv@Acts:25:13 @ Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Berni'ce arrived at Caesare'a to welcome Festus.

rsv@Acts:25:14 @ And as they stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, "There is a man left prisoner by Felix;

rsv@Acts:25:16 @ I answered them that it was not the custom of the Romans to give up any one before the accused met the accusers face to face, and had opportunity to make his defense concerning the charge laid against him.

rsv@Acts:25:17 @ When therefore they came together here, I made no delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought in.

rsv@Acts:25:18 @ When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge in his case of such evils as I supposed;

rsv@Acts:25:19 @ but they had certain points of dispute with him about their own superstition and about one Jesus, who was dead, but whom Paul asserted to be alive.

rsv@Acts:25:20 @ Being at a loss how to investigate these questions, I asked whether he wished to go to Jerusalem and be tried there regarding them.

rsv@Acts:25:21 @ But when Paul had appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be held until I could send him to Caesar."

rsv@Acts:25:23 @ So on the morrow Agrippa and Berni'ce came with great pomp, and they entered the audience hall with the military tribunes and the prominent men of the city. Then by command of Festus Paul was brought in.

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

rsv@Acts:25:25 @ But I found that he had done nothing deserving death; and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I decided to send him.

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

rsv@Acts:26:1 @ Agrippa said to Paul, "You have permission to speak for yourself." Then Paul stretched out his hand and made his defense:

rsv@Acts:26:5 @ They have known for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I have lived as a Pharisee.

rsv@Acts:26:7 @ to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day. And for this hope I am accused by Jews, O king!

rsv@Acts:26:8 @ Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?

rsv@Acts:26:9 @ "I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

rsv@Acts:26:11 @ And I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to make them blaspheme; and in raging fury against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

rsv@Acts:26:12 @ "Thus I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests.

rsv@Acts:26:13 @ At midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining round me and those who journeyed with me.

rsv@Acts:26:16 @ But rise and stand upon your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you to serve and bear witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you,

rsv@Acts:26:18 @ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

rsv@Acts:26:19 @ "Wherefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

rsv@Acts:26:20 @ but declared first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God and perform deeds worthy of their repentance.

rsv@Acts:26:21 @ For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.

rsv@Acts:26:26 @ For the king knows about these things, and to him I speak freely; for I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this was not done in a corner.

rsv@Acts:26:32 @ And Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."

rsv@Acts:27:1 @ And when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan Cohort, named Julius.

rsv@Acts:27:2 @ And embarking in a ship of Adramyt'tium, which was about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by Aristar'chus, a Macedo'nian from Thessaloni'ca.

rsv@Acts:27:3 @ The next day we put in at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go to his friends and be cared for.

rsv@Acts:27:4 @ And putting to sea from there we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us.

rsv@Acts:27:5 @ And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cili'cia and Pamphyl'ia, we came to Myra in Ly'cia.

rsv@Acts:27:7 @ We sailed slowly for a number of days, and arrived with difficulty off Cni'dus, and as the wind did not allow us to go on, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmo'ne.

rsv@Acts:27:8 @ Coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lase'a.

rsv@Acts:27:9 @ As much time had been lost, and the voyage was already dangerous because the fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,

rsv@Acts:27:12 @ And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to put to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking northeast and southeast, and winter there.

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

rsv@Acts:27:14 @ But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, struck down from the land;

rsv@Acts:27:16 @ And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we managed with difficulty to secure the boat;

rsv@Acts:27:17 @ after hoisting it up, they took measures to undergird the ship; then, fearing that they should run on the Syr'tis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.

rsv@Acts:27:18 @ As we were violently storm-tossed, they began next day to throw the cargo overboard;

rsv@Acts:27:20 @ And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many a day, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.

rsv@Acts:27:21 @ As they had been long without food, Paul then came forward among them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me, and should not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss.

rsv@Acts:27:24 @ and he said, `Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and lo, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'

rsv@Acts:27:27 @ When the fourteenth night had come, as we were drifting across the sea of A'dria, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land.

rsv@Acts:27:28 @ So they sounded and found twenty fathoms; a little farther on they sounded again and found fifteen fathoms.

rsv@Acts:27:29 @ And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let out four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day to come.

rsv@Acts:27:30 @ And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,

rsv@Acts:27:31 @ Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."

rsv@Acts:27:33 @ As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and without food, having taken nothing.

rsv@Acts:27:36 @ Then they all were encouraged and ate some food themselves.

rsv@Acts:27:37 @ (We were in all two hundred and seventy-six persons in the ship.)

rsv@Acts:27:38 @ And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

rsv@Acts:27:39 @ Now when it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned if possible to bring the ship ashore.

rsv@Acts:27:40 @ So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders; then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach.

rsv@Acts:27:41 @ But striking a shoal they ran the vessel aground; the bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was broken up by the surf.

rsv@Acts:27:43 @ but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their purpose. He ordered those who could swim to throw themselves overboard first and make for the land,

rsv@Acts:27:44 @ and the rest on planks or on pieces of the ship. And so it was that all escaped to land.

rsv@Acts:28:1 @ After we had escaped, we then learned that the island was called Malta.

rsv@Acts:28:2 @ And the natives showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold.

rsv@Acts:28:3 @ Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, when a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.

rsv@Acts:28:4 @ When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, justice has not allowed him to live."

rsv@Acts:28:5 @ He, however, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.

rsv@Acts:28:6 @ They waited, expecting him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead; but when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

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

rsv@Acts:28:8 @ It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery; and Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him healed him.

rsv@Acts:28:9 @ And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured.

rsv@Acts:28:10 @ They presented many gifts to us; and when we sailed, they put on board whatever we needed.

rsv@Acts:28:11 @ After three months we set sail in a ship which had wintered in the island, a ship of Alexandria, with the Twin Brothers as figurehead.

rsv@Acts:28:12 @ Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days.

rsv@Acts:28:13 @ And from there we made a circuit and arrived at Rhe'gium; and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Pute'oli.

rsv@Acts:28:14 @ There we found brethren, and were invited to stay with them for seven days. And so we came to Rome.

rsv@Acts:28:15 @ And the brethren there, when they heard of us, came as far as the Forum of Ap'pius and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them Paul thanked God and took courage.

rsv@Acts:28:16 @ And when we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier that guarded him.

rsv@Acts:28:17 @ After three days he called together the local leaders of the Jews; and when they had gathered, he said to them, "Brethren, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

rsv@Acts:28:18 @ When they had examined me, they wished to set me at liberty, because there was no reason for the death penalty in my case.

rsv@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar--though I had no charge to bring against my nation.

rsv@Acts:28:20 @ For this reason therefore I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain."

rsv@Acts:28:21 @ And they said to him, "We have received no letters from Judea about you, and none of the brethren coming here has reported or spoken any evil about you.

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

rsv@Acts:28:24 @ And some were convinced by what he said, while others disbelieved.

rsv@Acts:28:25 @ So, as they disagreed among themselves, they departed, after Paul had made one statement: "The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:

rsv@Acts:28:26 @ `Go to this people, and say, You shall indeed hear but never understand, and you shall indeed see but never perceive.

rsv@Acts:28:27 @ For this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should perceive with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn for me to heal them.'

rsv@Acts:28:29 @ And he lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him,

rsv@Acts:28:30 @ preaching the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ quite openly and unhindered.

rsv@Romans:1:1 @ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God

rsv@Romans:1:2 @ which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures,

rsv@Romans:1:3 @ the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh

rsv@Romans:1:4 @ and designated Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

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

rsv@Romans:1:6 @ including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ;

rsv@Romans:1:7 @ To all God's beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

rsv@Romans:1:8 @ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.

rsv@Romans:1:10 @ asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you.

rsv@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

rsv@Romans:1:13 @ I want you to know, brethren, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.

rsv@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel: it is the power of God for salvation to every one who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

rsv@Romans:1:17 @ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, "He who through faith is righteous shall live."

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

rsv@Romans:1:20 @ Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse;

rsv@Romans:1:21 @ for although they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened.

rsv@Romans:1:23 @ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man or birds or animals or reptiles.

rsv@Romans:1:25 @ because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen.

rsv@Romans:1:26 @ For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural,

rsv@Romans:1:27 @ and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error.

rsv@Romans:1:28 @ And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a base mind and to improper conduct.

rsv@Romans:1:29 @ They were filled with all manner of wickedness, evil, covetousness, malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity, they are gossips,

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

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

rsv@Romans:2:8 @ but for those who are factious and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and fury.

rsv@Romans:2:12 @ All who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

rsv@Romans:2:13 @ For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

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

rsv@Romans:2:20 @ a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth--

rsv@Romans:2:24 @ For, as it is written, "The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."

rsv@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law; but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

rsv@Romans:2:26 @ So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

rsv@Romans:2:27 @ Then those who are physically uncircumcised but keep the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law.

rsv@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews are entrusted with the oracles of God.

rsv@Romans:3:4 @ By no means! Let God be true though every man be false, as it is written, "That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and prevail when thou art judged."

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

rsv@Romans:3:7 @ But if through my falsehood God's truthfulness abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?

rsv@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all; for I have already charged that all men, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin,

rsv@Romans:3:12 @ All have turned aside, together they have gone wrong; no one does good, not even one."

rsv@Romans:3:15 @ "Their feet are swift to shed blood,

rsv@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

rsv@Romans:3:20 @ For no human being will be justified in his sight by works of the law, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

rsv@Romans:3:21 @ But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from law, although the law and the prophets bear witness to it,

rsv@Romans:3:23 @ since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

rsv@Romans:3:24 @ they are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,

rsv@Romans:3:25 @ whom God put forward as an expiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins;

rsv@Romans:3:27 @ Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On the principle of works? No, but on the principle of faith.

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

rsv@Romans:3:30 @ since God is one; and he will justify the circumcised on the ground of their faith and the uncircumcised through their faith.

rsv@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

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

rsv@Romans:4:4 @ Now to one who works, his wages are not reckoned as a gift but as his due.

rsv@Romans:4:5 @ And to one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

rsv@Romans:4:7 @ "Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;

rsv@Romans:4:8 @ blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not reckon his sin."

rsv@Romans:4:9 @ Is this blessing pronounced only upon the circumcised, or also upon the uncircumcised? We say that faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

rsv@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it reckoned to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised.

rsv@Romans:4:11 @ He received circumcision as a sign or seal of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised and who thus have righteousness reckoned to them,

rsv@Romans:4:12 @ and likewise the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but also follow the example of the faith which our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

rsv@Romans:4:16 @ That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants-- not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all,

rsv@Romans:4:17 @ as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations" --in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.

rsv@Romans:4:18 @ In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations; as he had been told, "So shall your descendants be."

rsv@Romans:4:19 @ He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb.

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

rsv@Romans:4:22 @ That is why his faith was "reckoned to him as righteousness."

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

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

rsv@Romans:4:25 @ who was put to death for our trespasses and raised for our justification.

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

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

rsv@Romans:5:5 @ and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.

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

rsv@Romans:5:8 @ But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

rsv@Romans:5:9 @ Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

rsv@Romans:5:10 @ For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

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

rsv@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned--

rsv@Romans:5:13 @ sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.

rsv@Romans:5:14 @ Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

rsv@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.

rsv@Romans:5:17 @ If, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

rsv@Romans:5:18 @ Then as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man's act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men.

rsv@Romans:5:19 @ For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man's obedience many will be made righteous.

rsv@Romans:5:20 @ Law came in, to increase the trespass; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

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

rsv@Romans:6:2 @ By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

rsv@Romans:6:3 @ Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

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

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

rsv@Romans:6:6 @ We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the sinful body might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.

rsv@Romans:6:7 @ For he who has died is freed from sin.

rsv@Romans:6:8 @ But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.

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

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

rsv@Romans:6:13 @ Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

rsv@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

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

rsv@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once yielded your members to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your members to righteousness for sanctification.

rsv@Romans:6:21 @ But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death.

rsv@Romans:7:2 @ Thus a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies she is discharged from the law concerning the husband.

rsv@Romans:7:3 @ Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.

rsv@Romans:7:4 @ Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God.

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

rsv@Romans:7:6 @ But now we are discharged from the law, dead to that which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit.

rsv@Romans:7:9 @ I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died;

rsv@Romans:7:10 @ the very commandment which promised life proved to be death to me.

rsv@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, finding opportunity in the commandment, deceived me and by it killed me.

rsv@Romans:7:24 @ Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

rsv@Romans:8:3 @ For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

rsv@Romans:8:4 @ in order that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

rsv@Romans:8:7 @ For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, indeed it cannot;

rsv@Romans:8:11 @ If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you.

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

rsv@Romans:8:14 @ For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

rsv@Romans:8:15 @ For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, "Abba! Father!"

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

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

rsv@Romans:8:20 @ for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope;

rsv@Romans:8:23 @ and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

rsv@Romans:8:24 @ For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?

rsv@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words.

rsv@Romans:8:27 @ And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

rsv@Romans:8:28 @ We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.

rsv@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren.

rsv@Romans:8:30 @ And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.

rsv@Romans:8:34 @ who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us?

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

rsv@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written, "For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

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

rsv@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen by race.

rsv@Romans:9:5 @ to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ. God who is over all be blessed for ever. Amen.

rsv@Romans:9:6 @ But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel,

rsv@Romans:9:7 @ and not all are children of Abraham because they are his descendants; but "Through Isaac shall your descendants be named."

rsv@Romans:9:8 @ This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are reckoned as descendants.

rsv@Romans:9:10 @ And not only so, but also when Rebecca had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac,

rsv@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

rsv@Romans:9:17 @ For the scripture says to Pharaoh, "I have raised you up for the very purpose of showing my power in you, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth."

rsv@Romans:9:20 @ But who are you, a man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me thus?"

rsv@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience the vessels of wrath made for destruction,

rsv@Romans:9:23 @ in order to make known the riches of his glory for the vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory,

rsv@Romans:9:24 @ even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?

rsv@Romans:9:25 @ As indeed he says in Hose'a, "Those who were not my people I will call `my people,' and her who was not beloved I will call `my beloved.'"

rsv@Romans:9:26 @ "And in the very place where it was said to them, `You are not my people,' they will be called `sons of the living God.'"

rsv@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 a remnant of them will be saved;

rsv@Romans:9:29 @ And as Isaiah predicted, "If the Lord of hosts had not left us children, we would have fared like Sodom and been made like Gomor'rah."

rsv@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, righteousness through faith;

rsv@Romans:9:31 @ but that Israel who pursued the righteousness which is based on law did not succeed in fulfilling that law.

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

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

rsv@Romans:10:2 @ I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened.

rsv@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the law, that every one who has faith may be justified.

rsv@Romans:10:5 @ Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on the law shall live by it.

rsv@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)

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

rsv@Romans:10:10 @ For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his lips and so is saved.

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

rsv@Romans:10:14 @ But how are men to call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?

rsv@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?"

rsv@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."

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

rsv@Romans:11:1 @ I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

rsv@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Eli'jah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

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

rsv@Romans:11:4 @ But what is God's reply to him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Ba'al."

rsv@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel failed to obtain what it sought. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened,

rsv@Romans:11:10 @ let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and bend their backs for ever."

rsv@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? By no means! But through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.

rsv@Romans:11:16 @ If the dough offered as first fruits is holy, so is the whole lump; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

rsv@Romans:11:17 @ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place to share the richness of the olive tree,

rsv@Romans:11:19 @ You will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."

rsv@Romans:11:22 @ Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off.

rsv@Romans:11:23 @ And even the others, if they do not persist in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.

rsv@Romans:11:24 @ For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree.

rsv@Romans:11:26 @ and so all Israel will be saved; as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob";

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

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

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

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

rsv@Romans:11:33 @ O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

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

rsv@Romans:12:3 @ For by the grace given to me I bid 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.

rsv@Romans:12:13 @ Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality.

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

rsv@Romans:12:19 @ Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord."

rsv@Romans:12:20 @ No, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head."

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

rsv@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.

rsv@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

rsv@Romans:13:9 @ The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

rsv@Romans:13:11 @ Besides this you know what hour it is, how it is full time now for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed;

rsv@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats despise him who abstains, and let not him who abstains pass judgment on him who eats; for God has welcomed him.

rsv@Romans:14:5 @ One man esteems one day as better than another, while another man esteems all days alike. Let every one be fully convinced in his own mind.

rsv@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.

rsv@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for any one who thinks it unclean.

rsv@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is being injured by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what you eat cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died.

rsv@Romans:14:18 @ he who thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.

rsv@Romans:14:20 @ Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for any one to make others fall by what he eats;

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

rsv@Romans:15:2 @ let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to edify him.

rsv@Romans:15:3 @ For Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached thee fell on me."

rsv@Romans:15:7 @ Welcome one another, therefore, as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

rsv@Romans:15:8 @ For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs,

rsv@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.

rsv@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 may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

rsv@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has wrought through me to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed,

rsv@Romans:15:19 @ by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyr'icum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ,

rsv@Romans:15:20 @ thus making it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on another man's foundation,

rsv@Romans:15:22 @ This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you.

rsv@Romans:15:23 @ But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you,

rsv@Romans:15:24 @ I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be sped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a little.

rsv@Romans:15:26 @ For Macedo'nia and Acha'ia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem;

rsv@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.

rsv@Romans:15:28 @ When therefore I have completed this, and have delivered to them what has been raised, I shall go on by way of you to Spain;

rsv@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,

rsv@Romans:15:32 @ so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company.

rsv@Romans:16:4 @ who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I but also all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks;

rsv@Romans:16:5 @ greet also the church in their house. Greet my beloved Epae'netus, who was the first convert in Asia for Christ.

rsv@Romans:16:6 @ Greet Mary, who has worked hard among you.

rsv@Romans:16:8 @ Greet Amplia'tus, my beloved in the Lord.

rsv@Romans:16:9 @ Greet Urba'nus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys.

rsv@Romans:16:10 @ Greet Apel'les, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobu'lus.

rsv@Romans:16:12 @ Greet those workers in the Lord, Tryphae'na and Trypho'sa. Greet the beloved Persis, who has worked hard in the Lord.

rsv@Romans:16:18 @ For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by fair and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the simple-minded.

rsv@Romans:16:19 @ For while your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I would have you wise as to what is good and guileless as to what is evil;

rsv@Romans:16:25 @ but is now disclosed and through the prophetic writings is made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith--

rsv@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sos'thenes,

rsv@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:

rsv@1Corinthians:1:5 @ that in every way you were enriched in him with all speech and all knowledge--

rsv@1Corinthians:1:6 @ even as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you--

rsv@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

rsv@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 dissensions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been reported to me by Chlo'e's people that there is quarreling among you, my brethren.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

rsv@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I am thankful that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Ga'ius;

rsv@1Corinthians:1:15 @ lest any one should say that you were baptized in my name.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:16 @ (I did baptize also the household of Steph'anas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any one else.)

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:23 @ but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,

rsv@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:28 @ God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,

rsv@1Corinthians:1:30 @ He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

rsv@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:6 @ Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,"

rsv@1Corinthians:2:10 @ God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:14 @ The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:15 @ The spiritual man judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not ready for it; and even yet you are not ready,

rsv@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apol'los? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I planted, Apol'los watered, but God gave the growth.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another man is building upon it. Let each man take care how he builds upon it.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:13 @ each man's work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.

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

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

rsv@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.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:4 @ I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:6 @ I have applied all this to myself and Apol'los for your benefit, brethren, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who sees anything different in you? What have you that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift?

rsv@1Corinthians:4:8 @ Already you are filled! Already you have become rich! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so that we might share the rule with you!

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

rsv@1Corinthians:4:11 @ To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are ill-clad and buffeted and homeless,

rsv@1Corinthians:4:12 @ and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:4:17 @ Therefore I sent to you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that is not found even among pagans; for a man is living with his father's wife.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For though absent in body I am present in spirit, and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment

rsv@1Corinthians:5:4 @ in the name of the Lord Jesus on the man who has done such a thing. When you are assembled, and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

rsv@1Corinthians:5:5 @ you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:10 @ not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and robbers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But rather I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber--not even to eat with such a one.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:13 @ God judges those outside. "Drive out the wicked person from among you."

rsv@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 incompetent to try trivial cases?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who are least esteemed by the church?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:7 @ To have lawsuits at all with one another is defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:9 @ 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,

rsv@1Corinthians:6:10 @ nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:12 @ "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything.

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:7:8 @ To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I do.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:7:11 @ (but if she does, let her remain single or else be reconciled to her husband)--and that the husband should not divorce his wife.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving partner desires to separate, let it be so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:17 @ Only, let every one lead the life which the Lord has assigned to him, and in which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:18 @ Was any one at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the marks of circumcision. Was any one at the time of his call uncircumcised? Let him not seek circumcision.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Were you a slave when called? Never mind. But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For he who was called in the Lord as a slave is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a slave of Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:24 @ So, brethren, in whatever state each was called, there let him remain with God.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Now concerning the unmarried, I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:29 @ I mean, brethren, the appointed time has grown very short; from now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none,

rsv@1Corinthians:7:32 @ I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord;

rsv@1Corinthians:7:33 @ but the married man is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please his wife,

rsv@1Corinthians:7:34 @ and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman or girl is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please her husband.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:35 @ I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If any one thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed, if his passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry--it is no sin.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:37 @ But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So that he who marries his betrothed does well; and he who refrains from marriage will do better.

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Hence, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that "an idol has no real existence," and that "there is no God but one."

rsv@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth--as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"--

rsv@1Corinthians:8:7 @ However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, through being hitherto accustomed to idols, eat food as really offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one sees you, a man of knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, might he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols?

rsv@1Corinthians:8:11 @ And so by your knowledge this weak man is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Do we not have the right to be accompanied by a wife, as the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For it is written in the law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain." Is it for oxen that God is concerned?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings?

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

rsv@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:27 @ but I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:1 @ I want you to know, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

rsv@1Corinthians:10:2 @ and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

rsv@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same supernatural drink. For they drank from the supernatural Rock which followed them, and the Rock was Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:5 @ Nevertheless with most of them God was not pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:9 @ We must not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents;

rsv@1Corinthians:10:10 @ nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things happened to them as a warning, but they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the end of the ages has come.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:12 @ Therefore let any one who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

rsv@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:28 @ (But if some one says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then out of consideration for the man who informed you, and for conscience' sake--

rsv@1Corinthians:10:29 @ I mean his conscience, not yours--do not eat it.) For why should my liberty be determined by another man's scruples?

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

rsv@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.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:2 @ I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:4 @ Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,

rsv@1Corinthians:11:5 @ but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head--it is the same as if her head were shaven.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:9 @ Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.)

rsv@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

rsv@1Corinthians:11:16 @ If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,

rsv@1Corinthians:11:30 @ That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:31 @ But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:11:34 @ if any one is hungry, let him eat at home--lest you come together to be condemned. About the other things I will give directions when I come.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that when you were heathen, you were led astray to dumb idols, however you may have been moved.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says "Jesus be cursed!" and no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:8 @ To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

rsv@1Corinthians:12:11 @ All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--Jews or Greeks, slaves or free--and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But as it is, God arranged the organs in the body, each one of them, as he chose.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:21 @ The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."

rsv@1Corinthians:12:23 @ and those parts of the body which we think less honorable we invest with the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty,

rsv@1Corinthians:12:24 @ which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior part,

rsv@1Corinthians:12:26 @ If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:2 @ And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:3 @ If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:9 @ For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;

rsv@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 gave up childish ways.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:4 @ He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:5 @ Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless some one interprets, so that the church may be edified.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:6 @ Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how shall I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

rsv@1Corinthians:14:7 @ If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will any one know what is played?

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

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:14:36 @ What! Did the word of God originate with you, or are you the only ones it has reached?

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

rsv@1Corinthians:14:38 @ If any one does not recognize this, he is not recognized.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:1 @ Now I would remind you, brethren, in what terms I preached to you the gospel, which you received, in which you stand,

rsv@1Corinthians:15:2 @ by which you are saved, if you hold it fast--unless you believed in vain.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures,

rsv@1Corinthians:15:4 @ that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures,

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:7 @ Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:8 @ Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God which is with me.

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

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

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:15 @ We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:17 @ If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:18 @ Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf?

rsv@1Corinthians:15:32 @ What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."

rsv@1Corinthians:15:33 @ Do not be deceived: "Bad company ruins good morals."

rsv@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Come to your right mind, and sin no more. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?"

rsv@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:44 @ It is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Lo! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

rsv@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 shall be changed.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:54 @ When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

rsv@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the contribution for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that contributions need not be made when I come.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:3 @ And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:5 @ I will visit you after passing through Macedo'nia, for I intend to pass through Macedo'nia,

rsv@1Corinthians:16:6 @ and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may speed me on my journey, wherever I go.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:11 @ So let no one despise him. Speed him on his way in peace, that he may return to me; for I am expecting him with the brethren.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our brother Apol'los, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brethren, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:15 @ Now, brethren, you know that the household of Steph'anas were the first converts in Acha'ia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints;

rsv@1Corinthians:16:18 @ for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such men.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If any one has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!

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

rsv@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.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:6 @ If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of the affliction we experienced in Asia; for we were so utterly, unbearably crushed that we despaired of life itself.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Why, we felt that we had received the sentence of death; but that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead;

rsv@2Corinthians:1:10 @ he delivered us from so deadly a peril, and he will deliver us; on him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience that we have behaved in the world, and still more toward you, with holiness and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:1:16 @ I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedo'nia, and to come back to you from Macedo'nia and have you send me on my way to Judea.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans like a worldly man, ready to say Yes and No at once?

rsv@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we preached among you, Silva'nus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No; but in him it is always Yes.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:21 @ But it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has commissioned us;

rsv@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But I call God to witness against me--it was to spare you that I refrained from coming to Corinth.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?

rsv@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if any one has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure--not to put it too severely-- to you all.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:12 @ When I came to Tro'as to preach the gospel of Christ, a door was opened for me in the Lord;

rsv@2Corinthians:2:13 @ but my mind could not rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedo'nia.

rsv@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.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word; but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

rsv@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?

rsv@2Corinthians:3:3 @ and you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:7 @ Now if the dispensation of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such splendor that the Israelites could not look at Moses' face because of its brightness, fading as this was,

rsv@2Corinthians:3:8 @ will not the dispensation of the Spirit be attended with greater splendor?

rsv@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if there was splendor in the dispensation of condemnation, the dispensation of righteousness must far exceed it in splendor.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:10 @ Indeed, in this case, what once had splendor has come to have no splendor at all, because of the splendor that surpasses it.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what faded away came with splendor, what is permanent must have much more splendor.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:3:16 @ but when a man turns to the Lord the veil is removed.

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

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

rsv@2Corinthians:4:2 @ We have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways; we refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:3 @ And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:4 @ In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:8 @ We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;

rsv@2Corinthians:4:9 @ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

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

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

rsv@2Corinthians:4:13 @ Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke," we too believe, and so we speak,

rsv@2Corinthians:4:14 @ knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:16 @ So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:5:3 @ so that by putting it on we may not be found naked.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:5:5 @ He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:15 @ And he died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:16 @ From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a human point of view, we regard him thus no longer.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:17 @ Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:5:20 @ So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he says, "At the acceptable time I have listened to you, and helped you on the day of salvation." Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:6 @ by purity, knowledge, forbearance, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love,

rsv@2Corinthians:6:8 @ in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true;

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

rsv@2Corinthians:6:12 @ You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be mismated with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

rsv@2Corinthians:7:1 @ Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, and make holiness perfect in the fear of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Open your hearts to us; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:4 @ I have great confidence in you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with comfort. With all our affliction, I am overjoyed.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For even when we came into Macedo'nia, our bodies had no rest but we were afflicted at every turn--fighting without and fear within.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:6 @ But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

rsv@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it (though I did regret it), for I see that that letter grieved you, though only for a while.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:9 @ As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting; for you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves guiltless in the matter.

rsv@2Corinthians: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.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we are comforted. And besides our own comfort we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his mind has been set at rest by you all.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if I have expressed to him some pride in 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.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:8:1 @ We want you to know, brethren, about the grace of God which has been shown in the churches of Macedo'nia,

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

rsv@2Corinthians:8:5 @ and this, not as we expected, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:6 @ Accordingly we have urged Titus that as he had already made a beginning, he should also complete among you this gracious work.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:7 @ Now as you excel in everything--in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in your love for us--see that you excel in this gracious work also.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:11 @ so that your readiness in desiring it may be matched by your completing it out of what you have.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:13 @ I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:15 @ As it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack."

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

rsv@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 and to show our good will.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And with them we are sending our brother whom we have often tested and found earnest in many matters, but who is now more earnest than ever because of his great confidence in you.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the people of Macedo'nia, saying that Acha'ia has been ready since last year; and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if some Macedo'nians come with me and find that you are not ready, we be humiliated--to say nothing of you--for being so confident.

rsv@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.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:10 @ He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness.

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

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

rsv@2Corinthians:10:5 @ We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle to the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

rsv@2Corinthians:10:6 @ being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:13 @ But we will not boast beyond limit, but will keep to the limits God has apportioned us, to reach even to you.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We do not boast beyond limit, in other men's labors; but our hope is that as your faith increases, our field among you may be greatly enlarged,

rsv@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For it is not the man who commends himself that is accepted, but the man whom the Lord commends.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:2 @ I feel a divine jealousy for you, for I betrothed you to Christ to present you as a pure bride to her one husband.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if some one comes and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you submit to it readily enough.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:6 @ Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not in knowledge; in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Did I commit a sin in abasing myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached God's gospel without cost to you?

rsv@2Corinthians:11:8 @ I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and was in want, I did not burden any one, for my needs were supplied by the brethren who came from Macedo'nia. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boast of mine shall not be silenced in the regions of Acha'ia.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:12 @ And what I do I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:15 @ So it is not strange if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:24 @ Five times I have received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:25 @ Three times I have been beaten with rods; once I was stoned. Three times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been adrift at sea;

rsv@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for ever, knows that I do not lie.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:32 @ At Damascus, the governor under King Ar'etas guarded the city of Damascus in order to seize me,

rsv@2Corinthians:11:33 @ but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped his hands.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I must boast; there is nothing to be gained by it, but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

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

rsv@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 at all inferior to these superlative apostles, even though I am nothing.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs of a true apostle were performed among you in all patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For in what were you less favored than the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong!

rsv@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?

rsv@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I urged Titus to go, and sent the brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit? Did we not take the same steps?

rsv@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.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:21 @ I fear that when I come again my God may humble me before you, and I may have to mourn over many of those who sinned before and have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and licentiousness which they have practiced.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This is the third time I am coming to you. Any charge must be sustained by the evidence of two or three witnesses.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them--

rsv@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we are weak in him, but in dealing with you we shall live with him by the power of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Examine yourselves, to see whether you are holding to your faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you fail to meet the test!

rsv@2Corinthians:13:6 @ I hope you will find out that we have not failed.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:7 @ But we pray God that you may not do wrong--not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may do what is right, though we may seem to have failed.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brethren, farewell. Mend your ways, heed my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

rsv@Galatians:1:1 @ Paul an apostle--not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead--

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

rsv@Galatians:1:8 @ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed.

rsv@Galatians:1:9 @ As we have said before, so now I say again, If any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed.

rsv@Galatians:1:11 @ For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not man's gospel.

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

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

rsv@Galatians:1:15 @ But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace,

rsv@Galatians:1:16 @ was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with flesh and blood,

rsv@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.

rsv@Galatians:1:18 @ Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days.

rsv@Galatians:1:23 @ they only heard it said, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy."

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

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

rsv@Galatians:2:4 @ But because of false brethren secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage--

rsv@Galatians:2:5 @ to them we did not yield submission even for a moment, that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.

rsv@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;

rsv@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

rsv@Galatians:2:8 @ (for he who worked through Peter for the mission to the circumcised worked through me also for the Gentiles),

rsv@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;

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

rsv@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain men came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party.

rsv@Galatians:2:13 @ And with him the rest of the Jews acted insincerely, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their insincerity.

rsv@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, in order to be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no one be justified.

rsv@Galatians:2:17 @ But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we ourselves were found to be sinners, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not!

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

rsv@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.

rsv@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification were through the law, then Christ died to no purpose.

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

rsv@Galatians:3:6 @ Thus Abraham "believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness."

rsv@Galatians:3:8 @ And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed."

rsv@Galatians:3:9 @ So then, those who are men of faith are blessed with Abraham who had faith.

rsv@Galatians:3:10 @ For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them."

rsv@Galatians:3:11 @ Now it is evident that no man is justified before God by the law; for "He who through faith is righteous shall live";

rsv@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree"--

rsv@Galatians:3:15 @ To give a human example, brethren: no one annuls even a man's will, or adds to it, once it has been ratified.

rsv@Galatians:3:17 @ This is what I mean: the law, which came four hundred and thirty years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.

rsv@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made; and it was ordained by angels through an intermediary.

rsv@Galatians:3:20 @ Now an intermediary implies more than one; but God is one.

rsv@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not; for if a law had been given which could make alive, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.

rsv@Galatians:3:22 @ But the scripture consigned all things to sin, that what was promised to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

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

rsv@Galatians:3:24 @ So that the law was our custodian until Christ came, that we might be justified by faith.

rsv@Galatians:3:27 @ For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

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

rsv@Galatians:4:11 @ I am afraid I have labored over you in vain.

rsv@Galatians:4:13 @ you know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first;

rsv@Galatians:4:14 @ and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.

rsv@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.

rsv@Galatians:4:19 @ My little children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you!

rsv@Galatians:4:20 @ I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

rsv@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and shout, you who are not in travail; for the children of the desolate one are many more than the children of her that is married."

rsv@Galatians:4:29 @ But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now.

rsv@Galatians:5:1 @ For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

rsv@Galatians:5:4 @ You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.

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

rsv@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 removed.

rsv@Galatians:5:13 @ For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another.

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

rsv@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another take heed that you are not consumed by one another.

rsv@Galatians:5:17 @ For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would.

rsv@Galatians:5:18 @ But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law.

rsv@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

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

rsv@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted.

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

rsv@Galatians:6:12 @ It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

rsv@Galatians:6:13 @ For even those who receive circumcision do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh.

rsv@Galatians:6:14 @ But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

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

rsv@Ephesians:1:5 @ He destined us in love to be his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,

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

rsv@Ephesians:1:7 @ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace

rsv@Ephesians:1:8 @ which he lavished upon us.

rsv@Ephesians:1:12 @ we who first hoped in Christ have been destined and appointed to live for the praise of his glory.

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

rsv@Ephesians:1:17 @ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,

rsv@Ephesians:1:18 @ having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, 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,

rsv@Ephesians:1:20 @ which he accomplished in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

rsv@Ephesians:1:21 @ far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come;

rsv@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience.

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

rsv@Ephesians:2:4 @ But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us,

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

rsv@Ephesians:2:6 @ and raised us up with him, and made us sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

rsv@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God--

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

rsv@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called the uncircumcision by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands--

rsv@Ephesians:2:12 @ remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

rsv@Ephesians:2:17 @ And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near;

rsv@Ephesians:2:21 @ in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

rsv@Ephesians:3:5 @ which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

rsv@Ephesians:3:9 @ and to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things;

rsv@Ephesians:3:11 @ This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,

rsv@Ephesians:3:15 @ from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

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

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

rsv@Ephesians:3:19 @ and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.

rsv@Ephesians:4:1 @ I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,

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

rsv@Ephesians:4:8 @ Therefore it is said, "When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men."

rsv@Ephesians:4:9 @ (In saying, "He ascended," what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

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

rsv@Ephesians:4:13 @ until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ;

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

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

rsv@Ephesians:4:18 @ they are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart;

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

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

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

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

rsv@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for edifying, as fits the occasion, that it may impart grace to those who hear.

rsv@Ephesians:4:30 @ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

rsv@Ephesians:4:32 @ and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

rsv@Ephesians:5:1 @ Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.

rsv@Ephesians:5:2 @ And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

rsv@Ephesians:5:3 @ But fornication and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is fitting among saints.

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

rsv@Ephesians:5:13 @ but when anything is exposed by the light it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light.

rsv@Ephesians:5:18 @ And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,

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

rsv@Ephesians:5:26 @ that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

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

rsv@Ephesians:6:5 @ Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ;

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@Philippians:1:12 @ I want you to know, brethren, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,

rsv@Philippians:1:15 @ Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.

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

rsv@Philippians:1:20 @ as it is my eager expectation and hope that I shall not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.

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

rsv@Philippians:1:25 @ Convinced of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

rsv@Philippians:1:28 @ and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear omen to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God.

rsv@Philippians:1:29 @ For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake,

rsv@Philippians:1:30 @ engaged in the same conflict which you saw and now hear to be mine.

rsv@Philippians:2:6 @ who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

rsv@Philippians:2:7 @ but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

rsv@Philippians:2:8 @ And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.

rsv@Philippians:2:9 @ Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,

rsv@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

rsv@Philippians:2:15 @ that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

rsv@Philippians:2:17 @ Even if I am to be poured as a libation upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

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

rsv@Philippians:2:22 @ But Timothy's worth you know, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.

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

rsv@Philippians:2:26 @ for he has been longing for you all, and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill.

rsv@Philippians:2:27 @ Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

rsv@Philippians:2:30 @ for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete your service to me.

rsv@Philippians:3:5 @ circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law a Pharisee,

rsv@Philippians:3:7 @ But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

rsv@Philippians:3:8 @ Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, in order that I may gain Christ

rsv@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, based on law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith;

rsv@Philippians:3:12 @ Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

rsv@Philippians:3:15 @ Let those of us who are mature be thus minded; and if in anything you are otherwise minded, God will reveal that also to you.

rsv@Philippians:3:16 @ Only let us hold true to what we have attained.

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

rsv@Philippians:4:3 @ And I ask you also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

rsv@Philippians:4:9 @ What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace will be with you.

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

rsv@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content.

rsv@Philippians:4:12 @ I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want.

rsv@Philippians:4:15 @ And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedo'nia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving except you only;

rsv@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I seek the gift; but I seek the fruit which increases to your credit.

rsv@Philippians:4:18 @ I have received full payment, and more; I am filled, having received from Epaphrodi'tus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.

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

rsv@Colossians:1:6 @ which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing--so among yourselves, from the day you heard and understood the grace of God in truth,

rsv@Colossians:1:7 @ as you learned it from Ep'aphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf

rsv@Colossians:1:9 @ And so, from the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

rsv@Colossians:1:10 @ to lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

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

rsv@Colossians:1:12 @ giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

rsv@Colossians:1:13 @ He has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,

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

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

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

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

rsv@Colossians:1:22 @ he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him,

rsv@Colossians:1:23 @ provided that you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

rsv@Colossians:2:2 @ that their hearts may be encouraged as they are knit together in love, to have all the riches of assured understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, of Christ,

rsv@Colossians:2:3 @ in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

rsv@Colossians:2:6 @ As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him,

rsv@Colossians:2:7 @ rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

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

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

rsv@Colossians:2:14 @ having canceled the bond which stood against us with its legal demands; this he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

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

rsv@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one disqualify you, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, taking his stand on visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind,

rsv@Colossians:2:19 @ and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.

rsv@Colossians:2:20 @ If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the universe, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations,

rsv@Colossians:2:22 @ (referring to things which all perish as they are used), according to human precepts and doctrines?

rsv@Colossians:2:23 @ These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting rigor of devotion and self-abasement and severity to the body, but they are of no value in checking the indulgence of the flesh.

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

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

rsv@Colossians:3:7 @ In these you once walked, when you lived in them.

rsv@Colossians:3:10 @ and have put on the new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

rsv@Colossians:3:11 @ Here there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scyth'ian, slave, free man, but Christ is all, and in all.

rsv@Colossians:3:12 @ Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience,

rsv@Colossians:3:15 @ And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.

rsv@Colossians:3:17 @ And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

rsv@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

rsv@Colossians:4:6 @ Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer every one.

rsv@Colossians:4:7 @ Tych'icus will tell you all about my affairs; he is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord.

rsv@Colossians:4:9 @ and with him Ones'imus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of yourselves. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.

rsv@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristar'chus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions--if he comes to you, receive him),

rsv@Colossians:4:11 @ and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

rsv@Colossians:4:12 @ Ep'aphras, who is one of yourselves, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always remembering you earnestly in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

rsv@Colossians:4:13 @ For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in La-odice'a and in Hi-erap'olis.

rsv@Colossians:4:14 @ Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.

rsv@Colossians:4:17 @ And say to Archip'pus, "See that you fulfil the ministry which you have received in the Lord."

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ For we know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you;

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ for our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedo'nia and in Acha'ia.

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedo'nia and Acha'ia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything.

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For they themselves report concerning us what a welcome we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated at Philip'pi, as you know, we had courage in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the face of great opposition.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please men, but to please God who tests our hearts.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For we never used either words of flattery, as you know, or a cloak for greed, as God is witness;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember our labor and toil, brethren; we worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you, while we preached to you the gospel of God.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ for you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea; for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all men

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they may be saved--so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But God's wrath has come upon them at last!

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But since we were bereft of you, brethren, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ because we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, again and again--but Satan hindered us.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ that no one be moved by these afflictions. You yourselves know that this is to be our lot.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent that I might know your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and that our labor would be in vain.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, as we long to see you--

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith;

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we solemnly forewarned you.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ For God has not called us for uncleanness, but in holiness.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ But concerning love of the brethren you have no need to have any one write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ and indeed you do love all the brethren throughout Macedo'nia. But we exhort you, brethren, to do so more and more,

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ to aspire to live quietly, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we charged you;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you.

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us so that whether we wake or sleep we might live with him.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ since indeed God deems it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to grant rest with us to you who are afflicted, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

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

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

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

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

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and with all wicked deception for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

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

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed on and triumph, as it did among you,

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not all have faith.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is living in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.

rsv@1Timothy:1:6 @ Certain persons by swerving from these have wandered away into vain discussion,

rsv@1Timothy:1:9 @ understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

rsv@1Timothy:1:11 @ in accordance with the glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.

rsv@1Timothy:1:12 @ I thank him who has given me strength for this, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful by appointing me to his service,

rsv@1Timothy:1:13 @ though I formerly blasphemed and persecuted and insulted him; but I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,

rsv@1Timothy:1:14 @ and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

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

rsv@1Timothy:1:18 @ This charge I commit to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophetic utterances which pointed to you, that inspired by them you may wage the good warfare,

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

rsv@1Timothy:2:7 @ For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

rsv@1Timothy:2:13 @ For Adam was formed first, then Eve;

rsv@1Timothy:2:14 @ and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

rsv@1Timothy:2:15 @ Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.

rsv@1Timothy:3:8 @ Deacons likewise must be serious, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for gain;

rsv@1Timothy:3:16 @ Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

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

rsv@1Timothy:4:2 @ through the pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared,

rsv@1Timothy:4:3 @ who forbid marriage and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

rsv@1Timothy:4:4 @ For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving;

rsv@1Timothy:4:5 @ for then it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

rsv@1Timothy:4:6 @ If you put these instructions before the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

rsv@1Timothy:4:16 @ Take heed to yourself and to your teaching; hold to that, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.

rsv@1Timothy:5:8 @ If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

rsv@1Timothy:5:9 @ Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been the wife of one husband;

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

rsv@1Timothy:5:15 @ For some have already strayed after Satan.

rsv@1Timothy:5:17 @ Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching;

rsv@1Timothy:5:25 @ So also good deeds are conspicuous; and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden.

rsv@1Timothy:6:1 @ Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed.

rsv@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brethren; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these duties.

rsv@Philemon:1:11 @ (Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.)

rsv@Philemon:1:14 @ but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own free will.

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

rsv@Hebrews:1:2 @ but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

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

rsv@Hebrews:1:9 @ Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy comrades."

rsv@Hebrews:1:12 @ like a mantle thou wilt roll them up, and they will be changed. But thou art the same, and thy years will never end."

rsv@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message declared by angels was valid and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution,

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

rsv@Hebrews:2:4 @ while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his own will.

rsv@Hebrews:2:5 @ For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking.

rsv@Hebrews:2:6 @ It has been testified somewhere, "What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou carest for him?

rsv@Hebrews:2:7 @ Thou didst make him for a little while lower than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honor,

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

rsv@Hebrews:2:11 @ For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have all one origin. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

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

rsv@Hebrews:2:18 @ For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

rsv@Hebrews:3:2 @ He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in God's house.

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

rsv@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, `They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known my ways.'

rsv@Hebrews:3:13 @ But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

rsv@Hebrews:3:17 @ And with whom was he provoked forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

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

rsv@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear lest any of you be judged to have failed to reach it.

rsv@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, `They shall never enter my rest,'" although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.

rsv@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works."

rsv@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience,

rsv@Hebrews:4:7 @ again he sets a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, "Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."

rsv@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, that no one fall by the same sort of disobedience.

rsv@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

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

rsv@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we have not 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.

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

rsv@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.

rsv@Hebrews:5:4 @ And one does not take the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was.

rsv@Hebrews:5:5 @ So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee";

rsv@Hebrews:5:6 @ as he says also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz'edek."

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

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

rsv@Hebrews:5:10 @ being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchiz'edek.

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

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

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

rsv@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

rsv@Hebrews:6:5 @ and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,

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

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

rsv@Hebrews:6:9 @ Though we speak thus, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things that belong to salvation.

rsv@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to overlook your work and the love which you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.

rsv@Hebrews:6:15 @ And thus Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained the promise.

rsv@Hebrews:6:16 @ Men indeed swear by a greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.

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

rsv@Hebrews:6:18 @ so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible that God should prove false, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us.

rsv@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchiz'edek.

rsv@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this Melchiz'edek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him;

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

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

rsv@Hebrews:7:6 @ But this man who has not their genealogy received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

rsv@Hebrews:7:7 @ It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior.

rsv@Hebrews:7:8 @ Here tithes are received by mortal men; there, by one of whom it is testified that he lives.

rsv@Hebrews:7:10 @ for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchiz'edek met him.

rsv@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levit'ical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchiz'edek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron?

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

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

rsv@Hebrews:7:15 @ This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchiz'edek,

rsv@Hebrews:7:17 @ For it is witnessed of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz'edek."

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

rsv@Hebrews:7:21 @ Those who formerly became priests took their office without an oath, but this one was addressed with an oath, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, `Thou art a priest for ever.'"

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

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

rsv@Hebrews:7:27 @ He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did this once for all when he offered up himself.

rsv@Hebrews:7:28 @ Indeed, the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect for ever.

rsv@Hebrews:8:1 @ Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

rsv@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.

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

rsv@Hebrews:8:6 @ But as it is, Christ 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.

rsv@Hebrews:8:9 @ not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they did not continue in my covenant, and so I paid no heed to them, says the Lord.

rsv@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a tent was prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence; it is called the Holy Place.

rsv@Hebrews:9:3 @ Behind the second curtain stood a tent called the Holy of Holies,

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

rsv@Hebrews:9:8 @ By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the sanctuary is not yet opened as long as the outer tent is still standing

rsv@Hebrews:9:9 @ (which is symbolic for the present age). According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,

rsv@Hebrews:9:10 @ but deal only with food and drink and various ablutions, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.

rsv@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)

rsv@Hebrews:9:12 @ he entered once for all into the Holy Place, taking not the blood of goats and calves but his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.

rsv@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the sprinkling of defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a heifer sanctifies for the purification of the flesh,

rsv@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

rsv@Hebrews:9:15 @ Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred which redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant.

rsv@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.

rsv@Hebrews:9:18 @ Hence even the first covenant was not ratified without blood.

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

rsv@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded you."

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

rsv@Hebrews:9:22 @ Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

rsv@Hebrews:9:23 @ Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

rsv@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ has entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

rsv@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Holy Place yearly with blood not his own;

rsv@Hebrews:9:26 @ for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

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

rsv@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

rsv@Hebrews:10:1 @ For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near.

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

rsv@Hebrews:10:5 @ Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, "Sacrifices and offerings thou hast not desired, but a body hast thou prepared for me;

rsv@Hebrews:10:8 @ When he said above, "Thou hast neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings" (these are offered according to the law),

rsv@Hebrews:10:9 @ then he added, "Lo, I have come to do thy will." He abolishes the first in order to establish the second.

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

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

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

rsv@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

rsv@Hebrews:10:17 @ then he adds, "I will remember their sins and their misdeeds no more."

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

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

rsv@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful;

rsv@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

rsv@Hebrews:10:28 @ A man who has violated the law of Moses dies without mercy at the testimony of two or three witnesses.

rsv@Hebrews:10:29 @ How much worse punishment do you think will be deserved by the man who has spurned the Son of God, and profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and outraged the Spirit of grace?

rsv@Hebrews:10:32 @ But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings,

rsv@Hebrews:10:33 @ sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.

rsv@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.

rsv@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is promised.

rsv@Hebrews:10:39 @ But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.

rsv@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

rsv@Hebrews:11:2 @ For by it the men of old received divine approval.

rsv@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear.

rsv@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he received approval as righteous, God bearing witness by accepting his gifts; he died, but through his faith he is still speaking.

rsv@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. Now before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.

rsv@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, took heed and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; by this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith.

rsv@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 to go.

rsv@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.

rsv@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he looked forward to the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

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

rsv@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having received what was promised, but having seen it and greeted it from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

rsv@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.

rsv@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son,

rsv@Hebrews:11:18 @ of whom it was said, "Through Isaac shall your descendants be named."

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

rsv@Hebrews:11:20 @ By faith Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau.

rsv@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff.

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

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

rsv@Hebrews:11:26 @ He considered abuse suffered for the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked to the reward.

rsv@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.

rsv@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the first-born might not touch them.

rsv@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as if on dry land; but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned.

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

rsv@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given friendly welcome to the spies.

rsv@Hebrews:11:33 @ who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, received promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

rsv@Hebrews:11:34 @ quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.

rsv@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, that they might rise again to a better life.

rsv@Hebrews:11:36 @ Others suffered mocking and scourging, and even chains and imprisonment.

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

rsv@Hebrews:11:39 @ And all these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised,

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

rsv@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

rsv@Hebrews:12:3 @ Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

rsv@Hebrews:12:4 @ In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

rsv@Hebrews:12:5 @ And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons?-- "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage when you are punished by him.

rsv@Hebrews:12:8 @ If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

rsv@Hebrews:12:9 @ Besides this, we have had earthly fathers to discipline us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?

rsv@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they disciplined us for a short time at their pleasure, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.

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

rsv@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.

rsv@Hebrews:12:15 @ See to it that no one fail to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" spring up and cause trouble, and by it the many become defiled;

rsv@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.

rsv@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire, and darkness, and gloom, and a tempest,

rsv@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not endure the order that was given, "If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned."

rsv@Hebrews:12:21 @ Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I tremble with fear."

rsv@Hebrews:12:23 @ and to the assembly of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

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

rsv@Hebrews:12:25 @ See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less shall we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven.

rsv@Hebrews:12:26 @ His voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven."

rsv@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

rsv@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body.

rsv@Hebrews:13:4 @ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and adulterous.

rsv@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings; for it is well that the heart be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited their adherents.

rsv@Hebrews:13:11 @ For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp.

rsv@Hebrews:13:12 @ So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.

rsv@Hebrews:13:13 @ Therefore let us go forth to him outside the camp and bear the abuse he endured.

rsv@Hebrews:13:15 @ Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

rsv@Hebrews:13:19 @ I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner.

rsv@Hebrews:13:23 @ You should understand that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon.

rsv@James:1:6 @ But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

rsv@James:1:7 @ For that person must not suppose that a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways, will receive anything from the Lord.

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

rsv@James:1:13 @ Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted with evil and he himself tempts no one;

rsv@James:1:14 @ but each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.

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

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

rsv@James:1:19 @ Know this, my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

rsv@James:1:21 @ Therefore put away all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

rsv@James:1:25 @ But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer that forgets but a doer that acts, he shall be blessed in his doing.

rsv@James:1:27 @ Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

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

rsv@James:2:6 @ But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you, is it not they who drag you into court?

rsv@James:2:7 @ Is it not they who blaspheme that honorable name which was invoked over you?

rsv@James:2:9 @ But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

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

rsv@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit?

rsv@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar?

rsv@James:2:22 @ You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works,

rsv@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.

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

rsv@James:2:25 @ And in the same way was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

rsv@James:3:1 @ Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach shall be judged with greater strictness.

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

rsv@James:3:7 @ For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by humankind,

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

rsv@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 for the last days.

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

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

rsv@James:5:6 @ You have condemned, you have killed the righteous man; he does not resist you.

rsv@James:5:9 @ Do not grumble, brethren, against one another, that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the doors.

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

rsv@James:5:16 @ Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects.

rsv@James:5:17 @ Eli'jah was a man of like nature with ourselves and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth.

rsv@1Peter:2:4 @ Come to him, to that living stone, rejected by men but in God's sight chosen and precious;

rsv@1Peter:2:7 @ To you therefore who believe, he is precious, but for those who do not believe, "The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner,"

rsv@1Peter:2:8 @ and "A stone that will make men stumble, a rock that will make them fall"; for they stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

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

rsv@1Peter:2:16 @ Live as free men, yet without using your freedom as a pretext for evil; but live as servants of God.

rsv@1Peter:2:19 @ For one is approved if, mindful of God, he endures pain while suffering unjustly.

rsv@1Peter:2:20 @ For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you take it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you take it patiently, you have God's approval.

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

rsv@1Peter:2:22 @ He committed no sin; no guile was found on his lips.

rsv@1Peter:2:23 @ When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he trusted to him who judges justly.

rsv@1Peter:2:24 @ He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

rsv@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

rsv@1Peter:3:5 @ So once the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves and were submissive to their husbands,

rsv@1Peter:3:6 @ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are now her children if you do right and let nothing terrify you.

rsv@1Peter:3:7 @ Likewise you husbands, live considerately with your wives, bestowing honor on the woman as the weaker sex, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.

rsv@1Peter:3:9 @ Do not return evil for evil or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing.

rsv@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if you do suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled,

rsv@1Peter:3:15 @ but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence;

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

rsv@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;

rsv@1Peter:3:19 @ in which he went and preached to the spirits in prison,

rsv@1Peter:3:20 @ who formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water.

rsv@1Peter:4:4 @ They are surprised that you do not now join them in the same wild profligacy, and they abuse you;

rsv@1Peter:4:6 @ For this is why the gospel was preached even to the dead, that though judged in the flesh like men, they might live in the spirit like God.

rsv@1Peter:4:10 @ As each has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:

rsv@1Peter:4:11 @ whoever speaks, as one who utters oracles of God; whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength which God supplies; in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to prove you, as though something strange were happening to you.

rsv@1Peter:4:13 @ But rejoice in so far as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.

rsv@1Peter:4:14 @ If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.

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

rsv@1Peter:4:18 @ And "If the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the impious and sinner appear?"

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

rsv@1Peter:5:4 @ And when the chief Shepherd is manifested you will obtain the unfading crown of glory.

rsv@1Peter:5:9 @ Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experience of suffering is required of your brotherhood throughout the world.

rsv@1Peter:5:10 @ And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you.

rsv@2Peter:1:1 @ Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

rsv@2Peter:1:2 @ May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

rsv@2Peter:1:3 @ His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,

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

rsv@2Peter:1:5 @ For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,

rsv@2Peter:1:6 @ and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,

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

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

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

rsv@2Peter:1:12 @ Therefore I intend always to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.

rsv@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

rsv@2Peter:1:16 @ For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

rsv@2Peter:1:17 @ For when he received honor and glory from God the Father and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,"

rsv@2Peter:1:21 @ because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

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

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

rsv@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of nether gloom to be kept until the judgment;

rsv@2Peter:2:5 @ if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven other persons, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;

rsv@2Peter:2:6 @ if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomor'rah to ashes he condemned them to extinction and made them an example to those who were to be ungodly;

rsv@2Peter:2:7 @ and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the licentiousness of the wicked

rsv@2Peter:2:8 @ (for by what that righteous man saw and heard as he lived among them, he was vexed in his righteous soul day after day with their lawless deeds),

rsv@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,

rsv@2Peter:2:14 @ They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!

rsv@2Peter:2:15 @ Forsaking the right way they have gone astray; they have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Be'or, who loved gain from wrongdoing,

rsv@2Peter:2:16 @ but was rebuked for his own transgression; a dumb ass spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.

rsv@2Peter:2:17 @ These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm; for them the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved.

rsv@2Peter:2:18 @ For, uttering loud boasts of folly, they entice with licentious passions of the flesh men who have barely escaped from those who live in error.

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

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

rsv@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

rsv@2Peter:2:22 @ It has happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog turns back to his own vomit, and the sow is washed only to wallow in the mire.

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

rsv@2Peter:3:2 @ that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles.

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

rsv@2Peter:3:5 @ They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water and by means of water,

rsv@2Peter:3:6 @ through which the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.

rsv@2Peter:3:7 @ But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

rsv@2Peter:3:8 @ But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

rsv@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.

rsv@2Peter:3:11 @ Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,

rsv@2Peter:3:12 @ waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire!

rsv@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, since you wait for these, be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.

rsv@2Peter:3:15 @ And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,

rsv@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability.

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

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

rsv@1John:1:10 @ If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

rsv@1John:2:5 @ but whoever keeps his word, in him truly love for God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him:

rsv@1John:2:6 @ he who says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

rsv@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.

rsv@1John:2:11 @ 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.

rsv@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 they all are not of us.

rsv@1John:2:20 @ But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all know.

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

rsv@1John:2:27 @ but the anointing which you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that any one should teach you; as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie, just as it has taught you, abide in him.

rsv@1John:3:1 @ See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

rsv@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, we are God's children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

rsv@1John:3:5 @ You know that he appeared to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.

rsv@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.

rsv@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.

rsv@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.

rsv@1John:3:17 @ But if any one has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?

rsv@1John:3:18 @ Little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth.

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

rsv@1John:3:23 @ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

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

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

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

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

rsv@1John:4:12 @ No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

rsv@1John:4:17 @ In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.

rsv@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love.

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

rsv@1John: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 borne to his Son.

rsv@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him.

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

rsv@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.

rsv@2John:1:8 @ Look to yourselves, that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward.

rsv@2John:1:11 @ for he who greets him shares his wicked work.

rsv@3John:1:1 @ The elder to the beloved Ga'ius, whom I love in the truth.

rsv@3John:1:2 @ Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in health; I know that it is well with your soul.

rsv@3John:1:3 @ For I greatly rejoiced when some of the brethren arrived and testified to the truth of your life, as indeed you do follow the truth.

rsv@3John:1:5 @ Beloved, it is a loyal thing you do when you render any service to the brethren, especially to strangers,

rsv@3John:1:6 @ who have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey as befits God's service.

rsv@3John:1:7 @ For they have set out for his sake and have accepted nothing from the heathen.

rsv@3John:1:9 @ I have written something to the church; but Diot'rephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge my authority.

rsv@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. He who does good is of God; he who does evil has not seen God.

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

rsv@Jude:1:2 @ May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

rsv@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, being very eager to write to you of our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

rsv@Jude:1:4 @ For admission has been secretly gained by some who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

rsv@Jude:1:5 @ Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

rsv@Jude:1:7 @ just as Sodom and Gomor'rah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

rsv@Jude:1:9 @ But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, disputed about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."

rsv@Jude:1:10 @ But these men revile whatever they do not understand, and by those things that they know by instinct as irrational animals do, they are destroyed.

rsv@Jude:1:12 @ These are blemishes on your love feasts, as they boldly carouse together, looking after themselves; waterless clouds, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted;

rsv@Jude:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars for whom the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved for ever.

rsv@Jude:1:14 @ It was of these also that Enoch in the seventh generation from Adam prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with his holy myriads,

rsv@Jude:1:15 @ to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness which they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."

rsv@Jude:1:16 @ These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own passions, loud-mouthed boasters, flattering people to gain advantage.

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

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

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

rsv@Revelation:1:3 @ Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near.

rsv@Revelation:1:5 @ and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood

rsv@Revelation:1:7 @ Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, every one who pierced him; and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.

rsv@Revelation:1:9 @ I John, your brother, who share with you in Jesus the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

rsv@Revelation:1:12 @ Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,

rsv@Revelation:1:13 @ and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden girdle round his breast;

rsv@Revelation:1:15 @ his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters;

rsv@Revelation:1:16 @ in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

rsv@Revelation:1:18 @ and the living one; I died, and behold I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

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

rsv@Revelation:2:4 @ But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.

rsv@Revelation:2:8 @ "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: `The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life.

rsv@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 unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

rsv@Revelation:2:12 @ "And to the angel of the church in Per'gamum write: `The words of him who has the sharp two-edged sword.

rsv@Revelation:2:13 @ "`I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is; you hold fast my name and you did not deny my faith even in the days of An'tipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

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

rsv@Revelation:2:18 @ "And to the angel of the church in Thyati'ra write: `The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.

rsv@Revelation:2:19 @ "`I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first.

rsv@Revelation:2:20 @ But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jez'ebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and beguiling my servants to practice immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.

rsv@Revelation:2:22 @ Behold, I will throw her on a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her doings;

rsv@Revelation:2:24 @ But to the rest of you in Thyati'ra, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay upon you any other burden;

rsv@Revelation:2:27 @ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received power from my Father;

rsv@Revelation:3:3 @ Remember then what you received and heard; keep that, and repent. If you will not awake, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.

rsv@Revelation:3:4 @ Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

rsv@Revelation:3:8 @ "`I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

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

rsv@Revelation:3:17 @ For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.

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

rsv@Revelation:3:21 @ He who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.

rsv@Revelation:4:1 @ After this I looked, and lo, in heaven an open door! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up hither, and I will show you what must take place after this."

rsv@Revelation:4:2 @ At once I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne!

rsv@Revelation:4:3 @ And he who sat there appeared like jasper and carnelian, and round the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.

rsv@Revelation:4:4 @ Round the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clad in white garments, with golden crowns upon their heads.

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

rsv@Revelation:4:11 @ "Worthy art thou, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou didst create all things, and by thy will they existed and were created."

rsv@Revelation:5:1 @ And I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals;

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

rsv@Revelation:5:7 @ and he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.

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

rsv@Revelation:5:14 @ And the four living creatures said, "Amen!" and the elders fell down and worshiped.

rsv@Revelation:6:1 @ Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say, as with a voice of thunder, "Come!"

rsv@Revelation:6:3 @ When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!"

rsv@Revelation:6:4 @ And out came another horse, bright red; its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that men should slay one another; and he was given a great sword.

rsv@Revelation:6:5 @ When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" And I saw, and behold, a black horse, and its rider had a balance in his hand;

rsv@Revelation:6:6 @ and I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not harm oil and wine!"

rsv@Revelation:6:7 @ When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"

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

rsv@Revelation:6:9 @ When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne;

rsv@Revelation:6:10 @ they cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before thou wilt judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?"

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

rsv@Revelation:6:12 @ When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood,

rsv@Revelation:6:13 @ and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale;

rsv@Revelation:6:14 @ the sky vanished like a scroll that is rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

rsv@Revelation:6:16 @ calling to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;

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

rsv@Revelation:7:3 @ saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads."

rsv@Revelation:7:4 @ And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand sealed, out of every tribe of the sons of Israel,

rsv@Revelation:7:5 @ twelve thousand sealed out of the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand of the tribe of Gad,

rsv@Revelation:7:8 @ twelve thousand of the tribe of Zeb'ulun, twelve thousand of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand sealed out of the tribe of Benjamin.

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

rsv@Revelation:7:11 @ And all the angels stood round the throne and round the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

rsv@Revelation:7:13 @ Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, clothed in white robes, and whence have they come?"

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

rsv@Revelation:8:1 @ When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

rsv@Revelation:8:5 @ Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, voices, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

rsv@Revelation:8:7 @ The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, which fell on the earth; and a third of the earth was burnt up, and a third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

rsv@Revelation:8:9 @ and a third of the sea became blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

rsv@Revelation:8:11 @ The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died of the water, because it was made bitter.

rsv@Revelation:8:12 @ The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light was darkened; a third of the day was kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

rsv@Revelation:8:13 @ Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice, as it flew in midheaven, "Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets which the three angels are about to blow!"

rsv@Revelation:9:2 @ he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.

rsv@Revelation:9:5 @ they were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man.

rsv@Revelation:9:7 @ In appearance the locusts were like horses arrayed for battle; on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces,

rsv@Revelation:9:11 @ They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abad'don, and in Greek he is called Apol'lyon.

rsv@Revelation:9:12 @ The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.

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

rsv@Revelation:9:17 @ And this was how I saw the horses in my vision: the riders wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulphur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulphur issued from their mouths.

rsv@Revelation:9:18 @ By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulphur issuing from their mouths.

rsv@Revelation:9:20 @ The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot either see or hear or walk;

rsv@Revelation:10:1 @ Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.

rsv@Revelation:10:3 @ and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring; when he called out, the seven thunders sounded.

rsv@Revelation:10:4 @ And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down."

rsv@Revelation:10:5 @ And the angel whom I saw standing on sea and land lifted up his right hand to heaven

rsv@Revelation:10:6 @ and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there should be no more delay,

rsv@Revelation:10:7 @ but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God, as he announced to his servants the prophets, should be fulfilled.

rsv@Revelation:11:3 @ And I will grant my two witnesses power to prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."

rsv@Revelation:11:5 @ And if any one would harm them, fire pours out from their mouth and consumes their foes; if any one would harm them, thus he is doomed to be killed.

rsv@Revelation:11:7 @ And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them,

rsv@Revelation:11:8 @ and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified.

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

rsv@Revelation:11:11 @ But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.

rsv@Revelation:11:13 @ And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

rsv@Revelation:11:14 @ The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.

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

rsv@Revelation:11:18 @ The nations raged, but thy wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, for rewarding thy servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear thy name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth."

rsv@Revelation:11:19 @ Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.

rsv@Revelation:12:1 @ And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;

rsv@Revelation:12:2 @ she was with child and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery.

rsv@Revelation:12:3 @ And another portent appeared in heaven; behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads.

rsv@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.

rsv@Revelation:12:8 @ but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.

rsv@Revelation:12:9 @ And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world--he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

rsv@Revelation:12:11 @ And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

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

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

rsv@Revelation:12:15 @ The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with the flood.

rsv@Revelation:12:16 @ But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon had poured from his mouth.

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

rsv@Revelation:13:4 @ Men worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?"

rsv@Revelation:13:5 @ And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months;

rsv@Revelation:13:6 @ it opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven.

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

rsv@Revelation:13:12 @ It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.

rsv@Revelation:13:14 @ and by the signs which it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast, it deceives those who dwell on earth, bidding them make an image for the beast which was wounded by the sword and yet lived;

rsv@Revelation:13:15 @ and it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast should even speak, and to cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.

rsv@Revelation:13:16 @ Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,

rsv@Revelation:13:18 @ This calls for wisdom: let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

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

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

rsv@Revelation:14:4 @ It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are chaste; it is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes; these have been redeemed from mankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb,

rsv@Revelation:14:8 @ Another angel, a second, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of her impure passion."

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

rsv@Revelation:14:10 @ he also shall drink the wine of God's wrath, poured unmixed into the cup of his anger, and he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

rsv@Revelation:14:13 @ And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth." "Blessed indeed," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!"

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

rsv@Revelation:14:16 @ So he who sat upon the cloud swung his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

rsv@Revelation:14:18 @ Then another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Put in your sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe."

rsv@Revelation:14:19 @ So the angel swung his sickle on the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God;

rsv@Revelation:14:20 @ and the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the wine press, as high as a horse's bridle, for one thousand six hundred stadia.

rsv@Revelation:15:1 @ Then I saw another portent in heaven, great and wonderful, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is ended.

rsv@Revelation:15:2 @ And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands.

rsv@Revelation:15:3 @ And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and wonderful are thy deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are thy ways, O King of the ages!

rsv@Revelation:15:4 @ Who shall not fear and glorify thy name, O Lord? For thou alone art holy. All nations shall come and worship thee, for thy judgments have been revealed."

rsv@Revelation:15:5 @ After this I looked, and the temple of the tent of witness in heaven was opened,

rsv@Revelation:15:6 @ and out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, robed in pure bright linen, and their breasts girded with golden girdles.

rsv@Revelation:15:8 @ and the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were ended.

rsv@Revelation:16:2 @ So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and foul and evil sores came upon the men who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

rsv@Revelation:16:3 @ The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a dead man, and every living thing died that was in the sea.

rsv@Revelation:16:4 @ The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of water, and they became blood.

rsv@Revelation:16:6 @ For men have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink. It is their due!"

rsv@Revelation:16:8 @ The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch men with fire;

rsv@Revelation:16:9 @ men were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.

rsv@Revelation:16:10 @ The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was in darkness; men gnawed their tongues in anguish

rsv@Revelation:16:11 @ and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

rsv@Revelation:16:12 @ The sixth angel poured his bowl on the great river Euphra'tes, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

rsv@Revelation:16:15 @ ("Lo, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who is awake, keeping his garments that he may not go naked and be seen exposed!")

rsv@Revelation:16:16 @ And they assembled them at the place which is called in Hebrew Armaged'don.

rsv@Revelation:16:17 @ The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"

rsv@Revelation:16:19 @ The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered great Babylon, to make her drain the cup of the fury of his wrath.

rsv@Revelation:16:20 @ And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found;

rsv@Revelation:16:21 @ and great hailstones, heavy as a hundred-weight, dropped on men from heaven, till men cursed God for the plague of the hail, so fearful was that plague.

rsv@Revelation:17:1 @ Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who is seated upon many waters,

rsv@Revelation:17:2 @ with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and with the wine of whose fornication the dwellers on earth have become drunk."

rsv@Revelation:17:3 @ And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns.

rsv@Revelation:17:4 @ The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and bedecked with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication;

rsv@Revelation:17:6 @ And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her I marveled greatly.

rsv@Revelation:17:9 @ This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated;

rsv@Revelation:17:12 @ And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.

rsv@Revelation:17:14 @ they will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful."

rsv@Revelation:17:15 @ And he said to me, "The waters that you saw, where the harlot is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

rsv@Revelation:17:16 @ And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire,

rsv@Revelation:17:17 @ for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and giving over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

rsv@Revelation:18:2 @ And he called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every foul spirit, a haunt of every foul and hateful bird;

rsv@Revelation:18:3 @ for all nations have drunk the wine of her impure passion, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the wealth of her wantonness."

rsv@Revelation:18:5 @ for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

rsv@Revelation:18:6 @ Render to her as she herself has rendered, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double draught for her in the cup she mixed.

rsv@Revelation:18:7 @ As she glorified herself and played the wanton, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning. Since in her heart she says, `A queen I sit, I am no widow, mourning I shall never see,'

rsv@Revelation:18:8 @ so shall her plagues come in a single day, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she shall be burned with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who judges her."

rsv@Revelation:18:9 @ And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and were wanton with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning;

rsv@Revelation:18:12 @ cargo of gold, silver, jewels and pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet, all kinds of scented wood, all articles of ivory, all articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble,

rsv@Revelation:18:14 @ "The fruit for which thy soul longed has gone from thee, and all thy dainties and thy splendor are lost to thee, never to be found again!"

rsv@Revelation:18:15 @ The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,

rsv@Revelation:18:16 @ "Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked with gold, with jewels, and with pearls!

rsv@Revelation:18:18 @ and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, "What city was like the great city?"

rsv@Revelation:18:19 @ And they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and mourned, crying out, "Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! In one hour she has been laid waste.

rsv@Revelation:18:23 @ and the light of a lamp shall shine in thee no more; and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall be heard in thee no more; for thy merchants were the great men of the earth, and all nations were deceived by thy sorcery.

rsv@Revelation:19:1 @ After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

rsv@Revelation:19:2 @ for his judgments are true and just; he has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

rsv@Revelation:19:3 @ Once more they cried, "Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever."

rsv@Revelation:19:4 @ And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!"

rsv@Revelation:19:6 @ Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderpeals, crying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

rsv@Revelation:19:8 @ it was granted her to be clothed with fine linen, bright and pure"-- for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.

rsv@Revelation:19:9 @ And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are true words of God."

rsv@Revelation:19:11 @ Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

rsv@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name inscribed which no one knows but himself.

rsv@Revelation:19:13 @ He is clad in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God.

rsv@Revelation:19:14 @ And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, followed him on white horses.

rsv@Revelation:19:16 @ On his robe and on his thigh he has a name inscribed, King of kings and Lord of lords.

rsv@Revelation:19:17 @ Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly in midheaven, "Come, gather for the great supper of God,

rsv@Revelation:19:19 @ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who sits upon the horse and against his army.

rsv@Revelation:19:20 @ And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur.

rsv@Revelation:19:21 @ And the rest were slain by the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that issues from his mouth; and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

rsv@Revelation:20:2 @ And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,

rsv@Revelation:20:3 @ and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.

rsv@Revelation:20:4 @ Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

rsv@Revelation:20:5 @ The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.

rsv@Revelation:20:6 @ Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.

rsv@Revelation:20:7 @ And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison

rsv@Revelation:20:9 @ And they marched up over the broad earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,

rsv@Revelation:20:10 @ and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

rsv@Revelation:20:11 @ Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat upon it; from his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

rsv@Revelation:20:12 @ And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done.

rsv@Revelation:20:13 @ And the sea gave up the dead in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead in them, and all were judged by what they had done.

rsv@Revelation:21:1 @ Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

rsv@Revelation:21:2 @ And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband;

rsv@Revelation:21:4 @ he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away."

rsv@Revelation:21:8 @ But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death."

rsv@Revelation:21:10 @ And in the Spirit he carried me away to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

rsv@Revelation:21:12 @ It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed;

rsv@Revelation:21:15 @ And he who talked to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls.

rsv@Revelation:21:16 @ The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its breadth; and he measured the city with his rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and breadth and height are equal.

rsv@Revelation:21:17 @ He also measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits by a man's measure, that is, an angel's.

rsv@Revelation:21:19 @ The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every jewel; the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,

rsv@Revelation:21:23 @ And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

rsv@Revelation:22:1 @ Then he showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

rsv@Revelation:22:3 @ There shall no more be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall worship him;

rsv@Revelation:22:5 @ And night shall be no more; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they shall reign for ever and ever.

rsv@Revelation:22:7 @ And behold, I am coming soon." Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.

rsv@Revelation:22:8 @ I John am he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me;

rsv@Revelation:22:14 @ Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.

rsv@Revelation:22:18 @ I warn every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if any one adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,

rsv@Revelation:22:19 @ and if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
