rsv@Matthew:1:19 @ and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.

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

rsv@Matthew:2:2 @ "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him."

rsv@Matthew:2:4 @ and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

rsv@Matthew:2:8 @ and he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him bring me word, that I too may come and worship him."

rsv@Matthew:2:9 @ When they had heard the king they went their way; and lo, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the child was.

rsv@Matthew:2:11 @ and going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

rsv@Matthew:2:14 @ And he rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt,

rsv@Matthew:2:16 @ Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.

rsv@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not presume to say to yourselves, `We have Abraham as our father'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

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

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

rsv@Matthew:4:3 @ And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread."

rsv@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the devil took him to the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

rsv@Matthew:4:6 @ and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, `He will give his angels charge of you,' and `On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'"

rsv@Matthew:4:9 @ and he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me."

rsv@Matthew:4:10 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Begone, Satan! for it is written, `You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.'"

rsv@Matthew:4:18 @ As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

rsv@Matthew:4:23 @ And he went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.

rsv@Matthew:4:24 @ So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

rsv@Matthew:5:1 @ Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him.

rsv@Matthew:5:3 @ "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

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

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

rsv@Matthew:5:16 @ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

rsv@Matthew:5:19 @ Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

rsv@Matthew:5:25 @ Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison;

rsv@Matthew:5:29 @ If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.

rsv@Matthew:5:30 @ And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

rsv@Matthew:5:33 @ "Again you have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.'

rsv@Matthew:5:42 @ Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you.

rsv@Matthew:5:44 @ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

rsv@Matthew:5:45 @ so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

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

rsv@Matthew:6:1 @ "Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

rsv@Matthew:6:2 @ "Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

rsv@Matthew:6:4 @ so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

rsv@Matthew:6:5 @ "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

rsv@Matthew:6:6 @ But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

rsv@Matthew:6:7 @ "And in praying do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their many words.

rsv@Matthew:6:14 @ For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you;

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@Matthew:6:33 @ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.

rsv@Matthew:6:34 @ "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.

rsv@Matthew:7:3 @ Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

rsv@Matthew:7:5 @ You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

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

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

rsv@Matthew:7:10 @ Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?

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

rsv@Matthew:7:13 @ "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.

rsv@Matthew:7:14 @ For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

rsv@Matthew:7:15 @ "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

rsv@Matthew:7:24 @ "Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock;

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

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

rsv@Matthew:7:27 @ and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it."

rsv@Matthew:7:28 @ And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,

rsv@Matthew:8:3 @ And he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I will; be clean." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

rsv@Matthew:8:4 @ And Jesus said to him, "See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."

rsv@Matthew:8:5 @ As he entered Caper'na-um, a centurion came forward to him, beseeching him

rsv@Matthew:8:6 @ and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress."

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

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

rsv@Matthew:8:13 @ And to the centurion Jesus said, "Go; be it done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed at that very moment.

rsv@Matthew:8:14 @ And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever;

rsv@Matthew:8:15 @ he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and served him.

rsv@Matthew:8:16 @ That evening they brought to him many who were possessed with demons; and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.

rsv@Matthew:8:17 @ This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, "He took our infirmities and bore our diseases."

rsv@Matthew:8:24 @ And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.

rsv@Matthew:8:26 @ And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O men of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

rsv@Matthew:8:27 @ And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"

rsv@Matthew:8:31 @ And the demons begged him, "If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine."

rsv@Matthew:8:32 @ And he said to them, "Go." So they came out and went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and perished in the waters.

rsv@Matthew:9:1 @ And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city.

rsv@Matthew:9:3 @ And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming."

rsv@Matthew:9:5 @ For which is easier, to say, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, `Rise and walk'?

rsv@Matthew:9:6 @ But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he then said to the paralytic--"Rise, take up your bed and go home."

rsv@Matthew:9:7 @ And he rose and went home.

rsv@Matthew:9:9 @ As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him.

rsv@Matthew:9:10 @ And as he sat at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

rsv@Matthew:9:11 @ And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

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

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

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

rsv@Matthew:9:17 @ Neither is new wine put into old wineskins; if it is, the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins are destroyed; but new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved."

rsv@Matthew:9:19 @ And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples.

rsv@Matthew:9:21 @ for she said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well."

rsv@Matthew:9:22 @ Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And instantly the woman was made well.

rsv@Matthew:9:23 @ And when Jesus came to the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd making a tumult,

rsv@Matthew:9:25 @ But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

rsv@Matthew:9:27 @ And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of David."

rsv@Matthew:9:28 @ When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord."

rsv@Matthew:9:30 @ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly charged them, "See that no one knows it."

rsv@Matthew:9:33 @ And when the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the crowds marveled, saying, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel."

rsv@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees said, "He casts out demons by the prince of demons."

rsv@Matthew:9:35 @ And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity.

rsv@Matthew:9:36 @ When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

rsv@Matthew:9:38 @ pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."

rsv@Matthew:10:1 @ And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity.

rsv@Matthew:10:2 @ The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zeb'edee, and John his brother;

rsv@Matthew:10:5 @ These twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans,

rsv@Matthew:10:6 @ but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

rsv@Matthew:10:8 @ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay.

rsv@Matthew:10:10 @ no bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer deserves his food.

rsv@Matthew:10:12 @ As you enter the house, salute it.

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

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

rsv@Matthew:10:16 @ "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

rsv@Matthew:10:21 @ Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;

rsv@Matthew:10:23 @ When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next; for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel, before the Son of man comes.

rsv@Matthew:10:24 @ "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master;

rsv@Matthew:10:25 @ it is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Be-el'zebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.

rsv@Matthew:10:27 @ What I tell you in the dark, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim upon the housetops.

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

rsv@Matthew:10:35 @ For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

rsv@Matthew:10:36 @ and a man's foes will be those of his own household.

rsv@Matthew:10:39 @ He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

rsv@Matthew:10:40 @ "He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

rsv@Matthew:10:41 @ He who receives a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

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

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

rsv@Matthew:11:4 @ And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see:

rsv@Matthew:11:5 @ the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

rsv@Matthew:11:6 @ And blessed is he who takes no offense at me."

rsv@Matthew:11:8 @ Why then did you go out? To see a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those who wear soft raiment are in kings' houses.

rsv@Matthew:11:9 @ Why then did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

rsv@Matthew:11:10 @ This is he of whom it is written, `Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.'

rsv@Matthew:11:11 @ Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

rsv@Matthew:11:20 @ Then he began to upbraid the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.

rsv@Matthew:11:25 @ At that time Jesus declared, "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;

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

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

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

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

rsv@Matthew:12:10 @ And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. And they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?" so that they might accuse him.

rsv@Matthew:12:14 @ But the Pharisees went out and took counsel against him, how to destroy him.

rsv@Matthew:12:18 @ "Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

rsv@Matthew:12:20 @ he will not break a bruised reed or quench a smoldering wick, till he brings justice to victory;

rsv@Matthew:12:24 @ But when the Pharisees heard it they said, "It is only by Be-el'zebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons."

rsv@Matthew:12:25 @ Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand;

rsv@Matthew:12:26 @ and if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?

rsv@Matthew:12:29 @ Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house.

rsv@Matthew:12:38 @ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you."

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

rsv@Matthew:12:41 @ The men of Nin'eveh will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

rsv@Matthew:12:42 @ The queen of the South will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

rsv@Matthew:12:43 @ "When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, but he finds none.

rsv@Matthew:12:44 @ Then he says, `I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

rsv@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and brings with him seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. So shall it be also with this evil generation."

rsv@Matthew:13:1 @ That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.

rsv@Matthew:13:4 @ And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

rsv@Matthew:13:5 @ Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,

rsv@Matthew:13:6 @ but when the sun rose they were scorched; and since they had no root they withered away.

rsv@Matthew:13:7 @ Other seeds fell upon thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.

rsv@Matthew:13:8 @ Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

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

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

rsv@Matthew:13:14 @ With them indeed is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says: `You shall indeed hear but never understand, and you shall indeed see but never perceive.

rsv@Matthew:13:15 @ 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@Matthew:13:16 @ But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.

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

rsv@Matthew:13:21 @ yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.

rsv@Matthew:13:23 @ As for what was sown on good soil, this is he who hears the word and understands it; he indeed bears fruit, and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."

rsv@Matthew:24:24 @ For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

rsv@Matthew:24:29 @ "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;

rsv@Matthew:24:48 @ But if that wicked servant says to himself, `My master is delayed,'

rsv@Matthew:24:49 @ and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with the drunken,

rsv@Matthew:25:10 @ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut.

rsv@Matthew:25:14 @ "For it will be as when a man going on a journey called his servants and entrusted to them his property;

rsv@Matthew:26:1 @ When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,

rsv@Matthew:26:4 @ and took counsel together in order to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

rsv@Matthew:26:6 @ Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

rsv@Matthew:26:18 @ He said, "Go into the city to a certain one, and say to him, `The Teacher says, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples.'"

rsv@Matthew:26:26 @ Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."

rsv@Matthew:26:31 @ Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of me this night; for it is written, `I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'

rsv@Matthew:26:32 @ But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee."

rsv@Matthew:26:33 @ Peter declared to him, "Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away."

rsv@Matthew:26:36 @ Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsem'ane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go yonder and pray."

rsv@Matthew:26:42 @ Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, thy will be done."

rsv@Matthew:26:46 @ Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."

rsv@Matthew:26:48 @ Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I shall kiss is the man; seize him."

rsv@Matthew:26:49 @ And he came up to Jesus at once and said, "Hail, Master!" And he kissed him.

rsv@Matthew:26:50 @ Jesus said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him.

rsv@Matthew:26:51 @ And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

rsv@Matthew:26:53 @ Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?

rsv@Matthew:26:55 @ At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.

rsv@Matthew:26:57 @ Then those who had seized Jesus led him to Ca'iaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered.

rsv@Matthew:26:58 @ But Peter followed him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see the end.

rsv@Matthew:26:59 @ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death,

rsv@Matthew:26:60 @ but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward

rsv@Matthew:26:62 @ And the high priest stood up and said, "Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?"

rsv@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus said to him, "You have said so. But I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

rsv@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest tore his robes, and said, "He has uttered blasphemy. Why do we still need witnesses? You have now heard his blasphemy.

rsv@Matthew:26:66 @ What is your judgment?" They answered, "He deserves death."

rsv@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know the man." And immediately the cock crowed.

rsv@Matthew:27:1 @ When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death;

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:27:7 @ So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

rsv@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,

rsv@Matthew:27:12 @ But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he made no answer.

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:27:17 @ 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:27:19 @ 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:27:21 @ The governor again said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barab'bas."

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:27:26 @ Then he released for them Barab'bas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.

rsv@Matthew:27:39 @ And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads

rsv@Matthew:27:40 @ and saying, "You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross."

rsv@Matthew:27:52 @ the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,

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:27:59 @ And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud,

rsv@Matthew:27:61 @ Mary Mag'dalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the sepulchre.

rsv@Matthew:27:62 @ Next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate

rsv@Matthew:27:63 @ and said, "Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, `After three days I will rise again.'

rsv@Matthew:27:64 @ Therefore order the sepulchre to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away, and tell the people, `He has risen from the dead,' and the last fraud will be worse than the first."

rsv@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, "You have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can."

rsv@Matthew:27:66 @ So they went and made the sepulchre secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard.

rsv@Matthew:28:1 @ Now after the sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Mag'dalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulchre.

rsv@Matthew:28:5 @ But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

rsv@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

rsv@Matthew:28:7 @ Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you."

rsv@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."

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:28:20 @ teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."

rsv@Mark:1:2 @ As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way;

rsv@Mark:1:7 @ And he preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.

rsv@Mark:1:9 @ In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

rsv@Mark:1:11 @ and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased."

rsv@Mark:1:16 @ And passing along by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.

rsv@Mark:1:20 @ And immediately he called them; and they left their father Zeb'edee in the boat with the hired servants, and followed him.

rsv@Mark:1:27 @ And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."

rsv@Mark:1:29 @ And immediately he left the synagogue, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

rsv@Mark:1:31 @ And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them.

rsv@Mark:1:32 @ That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons.

rsv@Mark:1:34 @ And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

rsv@Mark:1:35 @ And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.

rsv@Mark:1:36 @ And Simon and those who were with him pursued him,

rsv@Mark:1:37 @ and they found him and said to him, "Every one is searching for you."

rsv@Mark:1:40 @ And a leper came to him beseeching him, and kneeling said to him, "If you will, you can make me clean."

rsv@Mark:1:43 @ And he sternly charged him, and sent him away at once,

rsv@Mark:1:44 @ and said to him, "See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."

rsv@Mark:2:4 @ And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay.

rsv@Mark:2:8 @ And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you question thus in your hearts?

rsv@Mark:2:9 @ Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, `Rise, take up your pallet and walk'?

rsv@Mark:2:11 @ "I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home."

rsv@Mark:2:12 @ And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

rsv@Mark:2:13 @ He went out again beside the sea; and all the crowd gathered about him, and he taught them.

rsv@Mark:2:14 @ And as he passed on, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him.

rsv@Mark:2:15 @ And as he sat at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were sitting with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him.

rsv@Mark:2:16 @ And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

rsv@Mark:2:17 @ And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."

rsv@Mark:2:18 @ Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and people came and said to him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"

rsv@Mark:2:21 @ No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; if he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.

rsv@Mark:2:24 @ And the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?"

rsv@Mark:2:25 @ And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him:

rsv@Mark:2:26 @ how he entered the house of God, when Abi'athar was high priest, 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 who were with him?"

rsv@Mark:3:2 @ And they watched him, to see whether he would heal him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him.

rsv@Mark:3:6 @ The Pharisees went out, and immediately held counsel with the Hero'di-ans against him, how to destroy him.

rsv@Mark:3:7 @ Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed; also from Judea

rsv@Mark:3:9 @ And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they should crush him;

rsv@Mark:3:10 @ for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him.

rsv@Mark:3:13 @ And he went up on the mountain, and called to him those whom he desired; and they came to him.

rsv@Mark:3:14 @ And he appointed twelve, to be with him, and to be sent out to preach

rsv@Mark:3:21 @ And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for people were saying, "He is beside himself."

rsv@Mark:3:22 @ And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Be-el'zebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons."

rsv@Mark:3:24 @ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

rsv@Mark:3:25 @ And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

rsv@Mark:3:26 @ And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.

rsv@Mark:3:27 @ But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house.

rsv@Mark:3:31 @ And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him.

rsv@Mark:3:34 @ And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, "Here 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:4:11 @ And he said to them, "To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in 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:4:18 @ And others are the ones sown among thorns; they are those who hear the word,

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:4:22 @ For there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret, except to come to light.

rsv@Mark:4:26 @ And he said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed upon the ground,

rsv@Mark:4:27 @ and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he knows not how.

rsv@Mark:4:28 @ The earth produces of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

rsv@Mark:4:29 @ But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."

rsv@Mark:4:30 @ And he said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it?

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:4:37 @ And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling.

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:5:1 @ They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Ger'asenes.

rsv@Mark:5:5 @ Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out, and bruising himself with stones.

rsv@Mark:5:10 @ And he begged him eagerly not to send them out of the country.

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:5:16 @ 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:5:21 @ 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:5:22 @ Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Ja'irus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,

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:5:29 @ 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:5:35 @ While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler's house some who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?"

rsv@Mark:5:38 @ When they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, he saw a tumult, and people weeping and wailing loudly.

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:5:41 @ Taking her by the hand he said to her, "Tal'itha cu'mi"; which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."

rsv@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.

rsv@Mark:6:4 @ And Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."

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:6:10 @ And he said to them, "Where you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place.

rsv@Mark:6:11 @ And if any place will not receive you and they refuse to hear you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against 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:6:22 @ 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:6:26 @ 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:6:31 @ And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.

rsv@Mark:6:32 @ And they went away in the boat to a lonely place by themselves.

rsv@Mark:6:34 @ As he went ashore he saw a great throng, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

rsv@Mark:6:38 @ And he said to them, "How many loaves have you? Go and see." And when they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fish."

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:6:44 @ And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

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:6:47 @ And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.

rsv@Mark:6:48 @ And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them,

rsv@Mark:6:49 @ but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out;

rsv@Mark:6:51 @ And he got into the boat with them and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,

rsv@Mark:6:53 @ And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennes'aret, and moored to the shore.

rsv@Mark:7:1 @ Now when the Pharisees gathered together to him, with some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

rsv@Mark:7:3 @ (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands, observing the tradition of the elders;

rsv@Mark:7:4 @ and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they purify themselves; and there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pots and vessels of bronze.)

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:7:10 @ For Moses said, `Honor your father and your mother'; and, `He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die';

rsv@Mark:7:16 @ And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.

rsv@Mark:7:17 @ And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him,

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:7:22 @ All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man."

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:7:30 @ 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:7:34 @ And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.

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:8:2 @ "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat;

rsv@Mark:8:3 @ and if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come a long way."

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:8:11 @ The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, to test him.

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:8:15 @ 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:8:18 @ Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?

rsv@Mark:8:20 @ "And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said to him, "Seven."

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:8:26 @ And he sent him away to his home, saying, "Do not even enter the village."

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:8:35 @ For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.

rsv@Mark:9:1 @ And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power."

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:9:3 @ and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them.

rsv@Mark:9:4 @ And there appeared to them Eli'jah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus.

rsv@Mark:9:5 @ And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah."

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:9:10 @ So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.

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:9:18 @ 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:9:20 @ 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:9:26 @ And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of them said, "He is dead."

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:9:37 @ "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me."

rsv@Mark:9:38 @ John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us."

rsv@Mark:9:41 @ For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward.

rsv@Mark:9:42 @ "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

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:9:44 @ And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.

rsv@Mark:9:45 @ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell,

rsv@Mark:9:48 @ Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its saltness, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

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:10:10 @ And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter.

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:10:19 @ You know the commandments: `Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'"

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:10:22 @ At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.

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:10:29 @ Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,

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:10:34 @ and they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and kill him; and after three days he will rise."

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:10:43 @ But it shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant,

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:10:49 @ 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:11:1 @ And when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Beth'phage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

rsv@Mark:11:3 @ If any one says to you, `Why are you doing this?' say, `The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.'"

rsv@Mark:11:5 @ And those who stood there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

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:11:13 @ And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

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:11:17 @ And he taught, and said to them, "Is it not written, `My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers."

rsv@Mark:11:18 @ And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and sought a way to destroy him; for they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

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:11:23 @ Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.

rsv@Mark:11:25 @ And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any one; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

rsv@Mark:11:27 @ and they said to him, "By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?"

rsv@Mark:11:28 @ Jesus said to them, "I will ask you a question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

rsv@Mark:11:32 @ So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

rsv@Mark:12:1 @ And he began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a pit for the wine press, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country.

rsv@Mark:12:2 @ When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.

rsv@Mark:12:3 @ And they took him and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

rsv@Mark:12:4 @ Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.

rsv@Mark:12:5 @ And he sent another, and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they killed.

rsv@Mark:12:6 @ He had still one other, a beloved son; finally he sent him to them, saying, `They will respect my son.'

rsv@Mark:12:7 @ But those tenants said to one another, `This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'

rsv@Mark:12:13 @ And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Hero'di-ans, to entrap him in his talk.

rsv@Mark:12:16 @ And they brought one. And he said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said to him, "Caesar's."

rsv@Mark:12:19 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.

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:12:23 @ In the resurrection whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife."

rsv@Mark:12:25 @ For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

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:12:31 @ The second is this, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

rsv@Mark:12:33 @ and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

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:12:37 @ David himself calls him Lord; so how is he his son?" And the great throng heard him gladly.

rsv@Mark:12:39 @ and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,

rsv@Mark:12:40 @ who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."

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:13:4 @ "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign when these things are all to be accomplished?"

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:14:28 @ 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:14:42 @ Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."

rsv@Mark:14:44 @ Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I shall kiss is the man; seize him and lead him away under guard."

rsv@Mark:14:46 @ And they laid hands on him and seized him.

rsv@Mark:14:47 @ But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

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:14:51 @ And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body; and they seized him,

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:14:56 @ For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree.

rsv@Mark:14:57 @ And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying,

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:14:67 @ and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus."

rsv@Mark:14:71 @ But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know this man of whom you speak."

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:15:3 @ 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:15:6 @ Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked.

rsv@Mark:15:9 @ And he answered them, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

rsv@Mark:15:11 @ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barab'bas instead.

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:15:35 @ 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:15:39 @ There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salo'me,

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:15:46 @ Mary Mag'dalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

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:16:11 @ But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.

rsv@Luke:9:27 @ But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."

rsv@Luke:9:28 @ Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

rsv@Luke:9:30 @ And behold, two men talked with him, Moses and Eli'jah,

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:9:33 @ And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah"--not knowing what he said.

rsv@Luke:9:35 @ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!"

rsv@Luke:9:36 @ And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silence and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

rsv@Luke:9:39 @ and behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him till he foams, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him.

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:9:44 @ "Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men."

rsv@Luke:9:46 @ And an argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest.

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:9:53 @ but the people would not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem.

rsv@Luke:9:61 @ Another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home."

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:10:2 @ And he said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.

rsv@Luke:10:3 @ Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.

rsv@Luke:10:4 @ Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no one on the road.

rsv@Luke:10:5 @ Whatever house you enter, first say, `Peace be to this house!'

rsv@Luke:10:7 @ And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house.

rsv@Luke:10:8 @ Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you;

rsv@Luke:10:16 @ "He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."

rsv@Luke:10:19 @ Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you.

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:10:31 @ 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:10:34 @ and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

rsv@Luke:18:21 @ And he said, "All these I have observed from my youth."

rsv@Luke:18:22 @ And when Jesus heard it, he said to him, "One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

rsv@Luke:18:24 @ Jesus looking at him said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!

rsv@Luke:18:26 @ Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"

rsv@Luke:18:29 @ And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there is no man who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

rsv@Luke:18:33 @ they will scourge him and kill him, and on the third day he will rise."

rsv@Luke:18:34 @ But they understood none of these things; this saying was hid from them, and they did not grasp what was said.

rsv@Luke:18:39 @ And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

rsv@Luke:18:43 @ And immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

rsv@Luke:19:3 @ And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature.

rsv@Luke:19:4 @ So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

rsv@Luke:19:5 @ And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchae'us, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today."

rsv@Luke:19:9 @ And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.

rsv@Luke:19:10 @ For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost."

rsv@Luke:19:11 @ As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.

rsv@Luke:19:13 @ Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them, `Trade with these till I come.'

rsv@Luke:19:14 @ But his citizens hated him and sent an embassy after him, saying, `We do not want this man to reign over us.'

rsv@Luke:19:15 @ When he returned, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.

rsv@Luke:19:17 @ And he said to him, `Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'

rsv@Luke:19:18 @ And the second came, saying, `Lord, your pound has made five pounds.'

rsv@Luke:19:21 @ for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.'

rsv@Luke:19:22 @ He said to him, `I will condemn you out of your own mouth, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?

rsv@Luke:19:24 @ And he said to those who stood by, `Take the pound from him, and give it to him who has the ten pounds.'

rsv@Luke:19:27 @ But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.'"

rsv@Luke:19:29 @ When he drew near to Beth'phage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,

rsv@Luke:19:32 @ So those who were sent went away and found it as he had told them.

rsv@Luke:19:35 @ And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their garments on the colt they set Jesus upon it.

rsv@Luke:19:37 @ As he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen,

rsv@Luke:19:38 @ saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

rsv@Luke:19:39 @ And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."

rsv@Luke:19:40 @ He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out."

rsv@Luke:19:44 @ and dash you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another in you; because you did not know the time of your visitation."

rsv@Luke:19:45 @ And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold,

rsv@Luke:19:46 @ saying to them, "It is written, `My house shall be a house of prayer'; but you have made it a den of robbers."

rsv@Luke:20:2 @ and said to him, "Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority."

rsv@Luke:20:5 @ And they discussed it with one another, saying, "If we say, `From heaven,' he will say, `Why did you not believe him?'

rsv@Luke:20:8 @ And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

rsv@Luke:20:10 @ When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, that they should give him some of the fruit of the vineyard; but the tenants beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

rsv@Luke:20:11 @ And he sent another servant; him also they beat and treated shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.

rsv@Luke:20:12 @ And he sent yet a third; this one they wounded and cast out.

rsv@Luke:20:13 @ Then the owner of the vineyard said, `What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will respect him.'

rsv@Luke:20:14 @ But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, `This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

rsv@Luke:20:16 @ He will come and destroy those tenants, and give the vineyard to others." When they heard this, they said, "God forbid!"

rsv@Luke:20:20 @ So they watched him, and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might take hold of what he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.

rsv@Luke:20:24 @ "Show me a coin. Whose likeness and inscription has it?" They said, "Caesar's."

rsv@Luke:20:26 @ And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him by what he said; but marveling at his answer they were silent.

rsv@Luke:20:27 @ There came to him some Sadducees, those who say that there is no resurrection,

rsv@Luke:20:28 @ and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother.

rsv@Luke:20:29 @ Now there were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and died without children;

rsv@Luke:20:30 @ and the second

rsv@Luke:20:31 @ and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died.

rsv@Luke:20:33 @ In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife."

rsv@Luke:20:35 @ but those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,

rsv@Luke:20:36 @ for they cannot die any more, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

rsv@Luke:20:37 @ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

rsv@Luke:20:42 @ For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, `The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

rsv@Luke:20:46 @ "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and love salutations in the market places and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,

rsv@Luke:20:47 @ who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."

rsv@Luke:21:6 @ "As for these things which you see, the days will come when there shall not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down."

rsv@Luke:21:10 @ Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;

rsv@Luke:21:12 @ But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake.

rsv@Luke:21:14 @ Settle it therefore in your minds, not to meditate beforehand how to answer;

rsv@Luke:21:20 @ "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.

rsv@Luke:21:21 @ Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it;

rsv@Luke:21:22 @ for these are days of vengeance, to fulfil all that is written.

rsv@Luke:21:27 @ And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

rsv@Luke:21:28 @ Now when these things begin to take place, look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

rsv@Luke:21:30 @ as soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near.

rsv@Luke:21:31 @ So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near.

rsv@Luke:21:34 @ "But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a snare;

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:22:6 @ So he agreed, and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.

rsv@Luke:22:8 @ So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat it."

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:22:11 @ and tell the householder, `The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I am to eat the passover with my disciples?'

rsv@Luke:22:17 @ And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, "Take this, and divide it among yourselves;

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:22:24 @ 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:22:26 @ But not so with you; rather let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.

rsv@Luke:22:27 @ For which is the greater, one who sits at table, or one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at table? But I am among you as one who serves.

rsv@Luke:22:28 @ "You are those who have continued with me in my trials;

rsv@Luke:22:35 @ And he said to them, "When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."

rsv@Luke:22:36 @ He said to them, "But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy one.

rsv@Luke:22:43 @ And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow,

rsv@Luke:22:44 @ and he said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."

rsv@Luke:22:47 @ And when those who were about him saw what would follow, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

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:22:54 @ Then a maid, seeing him as he sat in the light and gazing at him, said, "This man also was with him."

rsv@Luke:22:56 @ And a little later some one else saw him and said, "You also are one of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not."

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:23:1 @ Then the whole company of them arose, and brought him before Pilate.

rsv@Luke:23:2 @ And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king."

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:23:11 @ 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:23:15 @ neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Behold, nothing deserving death has been done by him;

rsv@Luke:23:16 @ I will therefore chastise him and release him."

rsv@Luke:23:17 @ But they all cried out together, "Away with this man, and release to us Barab'bas"--

rsv@Luke:23:19 @ Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus;

rsv@Luke:23:21 @ A third time he said to them, "Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no crime deserving death; I will therefore chastise him and release him."

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:23:27 @ But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

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:23:34 @ 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:23:36 @ and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!"

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:23:42 @ And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

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: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:24:11 @ 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:24:14 @ While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.

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:24:22 @ and did not find his body; and they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

rsv@Luke:24:23 @ Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see."

rsv@Luke:24:25 @ Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?"

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:24:29 @ When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them.

rsv@Luke:24:32 @ 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:24:35 @ As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them.

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:24:38 @ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have."

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:24:44 @ and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,

rsv@Luke:24:46 @ You are witnesses of these things.

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@John:1:6 @ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

rsv@John:1:17 @ For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

rsv@John:1:18 @ No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.

rsv@John:1:19 @ And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

rsv@John:1:20 @ He confessed, he did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."

rsv@John:1:22 @ They said to him then, "Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

rsv@John:1:24 @ Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.

rsv@John:1:27 @ even he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."

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:1:33 @ I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, `He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

rsv@John:1:34 @ And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God."

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:1:45 @ Philip found Nathan'a-el, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

rsv@John:1:46 @ Nathan'a-el said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

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:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

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:2:10 @ and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."

rsv@John:2:14 @ In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business.

rsv@John:2:16 @ And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; you shall not make my Father's house a house of trade."

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:2:20 @ The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?"

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:2:24 @ but Jesus did not trust himself to them,

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:3:2 @ This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."

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:3:4 @ Nicode'mus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"

rsv@John:3:11 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony.

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:3:17 @ 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:3:23 @ John also was baptizing at Ae'non near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were baptized.

rsv@John:3:25 @ Now a discussion arose between John's disciples and a Jew over purifying.

rsv@John:3:28 @ You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.

rsv@John:3:30 @ He must increase, but I must decrease."

rsv@John:3:32 @ He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony;

rsv@John:3:33 @ he who receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true.

rsv@John:3:34 @ For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for it is not by measure that he gives the Spirit;

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

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

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

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:4:12 @ Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?"

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

rsv@John:4:24 @ God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

rsv@John:4:29 @ "Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?"

rsv@John:4:34 @ Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

rsv@John:4:35 @ Do you not say, `There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest.

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:4:41 @ 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:4:44 @ 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:4:46 @ So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Caper'na-um there was an official whose son was ill.

rsv@John:4:48 @ Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe."

rsv@John:4:51 @ As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was living.

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

rsv@John:5:3 @ In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed.

rsv@John:5:7 @ Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your pallet, and walk."

rsv@John:5:13 @ Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you."

rsv@John:5:15 @ And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath.

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:5:18 @ Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise.

rsv@John:5:19 @ For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel.

rsv@John:5:20 @ For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.

rsv@John:5:22 @ that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

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:5:24 @ "Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

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:5:26 @ and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.

rsv@John:5:28 @ and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

rsv@John:5:29 @ "I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

rsv@John:5:30 @ If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true;

rsv@John:5:32 @ You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

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:5:36 @ And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen;

rsv@John:5:37 @ and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.

rsv@John:5:38 @ You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me;

rsv@John:5:39 @ yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

rsv@John:5:43 @ How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

rsv@John:5:44 @ Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope.

rsv@John:5:45 @ If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me.

rsv@John:6:1 @ After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiber'i-as.

rsv@John:6:2 @ And a multitude followed him, because they saw the signs which he did on those who were diseased.

rsv@John:6:5 @ Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a multitude was coming to him, Jesus said to Philip, "How are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?"

rsv@John:6:6 @ This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

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:6:15 @ Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

rsv@John:6:16 @ When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

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:6:18 @ The sea rose because a strong wind was blowing.

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:6:22 @ 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:6:24 @ So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and went to Caper'na-um, seeking Jesus.

rsv@John:6:25 @ When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"

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

rsv@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

rsv@John:6:30 @ So they said to him, "Then what sign do you do, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you perform?

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

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

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

rsv@John:6:39 @ and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day.

rsv@John:6:40 @ For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

rsv@John:6:41 @ The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."

rsv@John:6:42 @ They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, `I have come down from heaven'?"

rsv@John:6:43 @ Jesus answered them, "Do not murmur among yourselves.

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

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

rsv@John:6:52 @ The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

rsv@John:6:54 @ he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

rsv@John:6:57 @ As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.

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:6:62 @ Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending where he was before?

rsv@John:6:64 @ But there are some of you that do not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.

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

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

rsv@John:7:3 @ So his brothers said to him, "Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples may see the works you are doing.

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

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

rsv@John:7:8 @ Go to the feast yourselves; I am not going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come."

rsv@John:7:16 @ So Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me;

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

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

rsv@John:7:20 @ The people answered, "You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?"

rsv@John:7:22 @ Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man upon the sabbath.

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

rsv@John:7:25 @ Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, "Is not this the man whom they seek to kill?

rsv@John:7:28 @ So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, "You know me, and you know where I come from? But I have not come of my own accord; he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

rsv@John:7:29 @ I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me."

rsv@John:7:30 @ So they sought to arrest him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

rsv@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the crowd thus muttering about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

rsv@John:7:33 @ Jesus then said, "I shall be with you a little longer, and then I go to him who sent me;

rsv@John:7:34 @ you will seek me and you will not find me; where I am you cannot come."

rsv@John:7:36 @ What does he mean by saying, `You will seek me and you will not find me,' and, `Where I am you cannot come'?"

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:7:40 @ When they heard these words, some of the people said, "This is really the prophet."

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

rsv@John:7:47 @ The Pharisees answered them, "Are you led astray, you also?

rsv@John:7:48 @ Have any of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in 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:7:53 @ They went each to his own house,

rsv@John:8:3 @ The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst

rsv@John:8:5 @ Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?"

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

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:8:16 @ Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone that judge, but I and he who sent me.

rsv@John:8:18 @ I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me."

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:8:21 @ Again he said to them, "I go away, and you will seek me and die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come."

rsv@John:8:22 @ Then said the Jews, "Will he kill himself, since he says, `Where I am going, you cannot come'?"

rsv@John:8:26 @ I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him."

rsv@John:8:29 @ And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him."

rsv@John:8:35 @ The slave does not continue in the house for ever; the son continues for ever.

rsv@John:8:37 @ I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

rsv@John:8:38 @ I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father."

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

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:8:43 @ Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.

rsv@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

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

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

rsv@John:8:51 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, if any one keeps my word, he will never see death."

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

rsv@John:8:59 @ So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

rsv@John:9:1 @ As he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.

rsv@John:9:4 @ We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day; night comes, when no one can work.

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:9:13 @ They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.

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:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was a division among them.

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:9:21 @ 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:9:28 @ And they reviled him, saying, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

rsv@John:9:29 @ We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."

rsv@John:9:37 @ Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, and it is he who speaks to you."

rsv@John:9:39 @ Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind."

rsv@John:9:40 @ Some of the Pharisees near him heard this, and they said to him, "Are we also blind?"

rsv@John:9:41 @ Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, `We see,' your guilt remains.

rsv@John:10:6 @ This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

rsv@John:10:12 @ He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

rsv@John:10:13 @ He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep.

rsv@John:10:17 @ For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

rsv@John:10:19 @ There was again a division among the Jews because of these words.

rsv@John:10:21 @ Others said, "These are not the sayings of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"

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:10:26 @ but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep.

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:10:36 @ 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: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:11:3 @ So the sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, he whom you love is ill."

rsv@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?"

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:11:10 @ But if any one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

rsv@John:11:20 @ When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary sat in the house.

rsv@John:11:23 @ Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

rsv@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

rsv@John:11:29 @ And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him.

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:11:34 @ and he said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see."

rsv@John:11:36 @ So the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"

rsv@John:11:40 @ Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"

rsv@John:11:42 @ I knew that thou hearest me always, but I have said this on account of the people standing by, that they may believe that thou didst send me."

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:11:46 @ but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

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:11:53 @ So from that day on they took counsel how to put him to death.

rsv@John:11:55 @ Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

rsv@John:11:57 @ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.

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:12:6 @ 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:12:11 @ because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.

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:12:17 @ 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:12:19 @ The Pharisees then said to one another, "You see that you can do nothing; look, the world has gone after him."

rsv@John:12:20 @ Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks.

rsv@John:12:21 @ So these came to Philip, who was from Beth-sa'ida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

rsv@John:12:25 @ He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

rsv@John:12:26 @ If any one serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; if any one serves me, the Father will honor him.

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:12:32 @ and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself."

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:12:40 @ "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:12:41 @ Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

rsv@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

rsv@John:12:43 @ for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

rsv@John:12:44 @ And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.

rsv@John:12:45 @ And he who sees me sees him who sent me.

rsv@John:12:49 @ For I have not spoken on my own authority; the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what to say and what to speak.

rsv@John:13:23 @ One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying close to the breast of Jesus;

rsv@John:13:25 @ So lying thus, close to the breast of Jesus, he said to him, "Lord, who is it?"

rsv@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this morsel when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

rsv@John:13:27 @ Then after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."

rsv@John:13:29 @ Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast"; or, that he should give something to the poor.

rsv@John:15:11 @ These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@John:18:1 @ When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the Kidron valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

rsv@John:18:3 @ So Judas, procuring a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

rsv@John:18:4 @ Then Jesus, knowing all that was to befall him, came forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"

rsv@John:18:7 @ Again he asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

rsv@John:18:8 @ Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he; so, if you seek me, let these men go."

rsv@John:18:9 @ This was to fulfil the word which he had spoken, "Of those whom thou gavest me I lost not one."

rsv@John:18:12 @ So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him.

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

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:18:21 @ Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; they know what I said."

rsv@John:18:24 @ Annas then sent him bound to Ca'iaphas the high priest.

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:18:28 @ 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:18:31 @ Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put any man to death."

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:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover; will you have me release for you the King of the Jews?"

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

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:19:8 @ When Pilate heard these words, he was the more afraid;

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

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:19:23 @ 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:19:36 @ For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be broken."

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:19:42 @ So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

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:20:9 @ for as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

rsv@John:20:13 @ They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him."

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:20:18 @ Mary Mag'dalene went and said to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"; and she told them that he had said these things to her.

rsv@John:20:21 @ Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."

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

rsv@John:20:26 @ Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you."

rsv@John:20:27 @ Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing."

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

rsv@John:20:31 @ but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

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:21:7 @ 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:21:14 @ 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:21:16 @ A second time he said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

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@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who is bearing witness to these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

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

rsv@Acts:1:2 @ until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.

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:1:7 @ 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:1:14 @ 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:1:22 @ beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us--one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection."

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: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:2:6 @ 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: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:6:13 @ and set up false witnesses who said, "This man never ceases to speak words against this holy place and the law;

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:7:5 @ 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:7:7 @ `But I will judge the nation which they serve,' said God, `and after that they shall come out and worship me in this place.'

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:7:21 @ 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: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:8:26 @ But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." This is a desert road.

rsv@Acts:8:27 @ And he rose and went. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a minister of the Can'dace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship

rsv@Acts:8:28 @ and was returning; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.

rsv@Acts:8:34 @ And the eunuch said to Philip, "About whom, pray, does the prophet say this, about himself or about some one else?"

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:9:4 @ And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"

rsv@Acts:9:5 @ And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting;

rsv@Acts:9:6 @ but rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do."

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:9:23 @ When many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him,

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:10:9 @ The next day, as they were on their journey and coming near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.

rsv@Acts:10:13 @ And there came a voice to him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat."

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:10:20 @ Rise and go down, and accompany them without hesitation; for I have sent them."

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:10:39 @ And we are witnesses to all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree;

rsv@Acts:10:40 @ but God raised him on the third day and made him manifest;

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

rsv@Acts:11:7 @ And I heard a voice saying to me, `Rise, Peter; kill and eat.'

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

rsv@Acts:11:11 @ 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:11:19 @ 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:11:22 @ News of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

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:11:27 @ Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

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:11:30 @ and they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

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:12:6 @ The very night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison;

rsv@Acts:12:8 @ And the angel said to him, "Dress yourself and put on your sandals." And he did so. And he said to him, "Wrap your mantle around you and follow me."

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:12:19 @ 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:12:23 @ 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:12:25 @ And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their mission, bringing with them John whose other name was Mark.

rsv@Acts:13:2 @ 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:13:3 @ Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.

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:13:6 @ 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:13:11 @ 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:13:13 @ 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:14:18 @ With these words they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them.

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: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:15:27 @ We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth.

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:15:38 @ 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:16:3 @ 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:16:9 @ 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:16:11 @ Setting sail therefore from Tro'as, we made a direct voyage to Sam'othrace, and the following day to Ne-ap'olis,

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:16:19 @ 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:16:20 @ and when they had brought them to the magistrates they said, "These men are Jews and they are disturbing our city.

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:16:31 @ And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

rsv@Acts:16:32 @ And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.

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:16:35 @ But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, "Let those men go."

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:16:40 @ 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:17:3 @ explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ."

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:17:9 @ And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

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:17:14 @ 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:17:17 @ 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:17:19 @ And they took hold of him and brought him to the Are-op'agus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is which you present?

rsv@Acts:17:20 @ For you bring some strange things to our ears; we wish to know therefore what these things mean."

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:17:27 @ that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after him and find him. Yet he is not far from each one of us,

rsv@Acts:17:29 @ Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the Deity is like gold, or silver, or stone, a representation by the art and imagination of man.

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: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:18:6 @ 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:18:15 @ but since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I refuse to be a judge of these things."

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:18:19 @ And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself went into the synagogue and argued with the Jews.

rsv@Acts:18:21 @ but on taking leave of them he said, "I will return to you if God wills," and he set sail from Ephesus.

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:18:27 @ 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: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:19:12 @ 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:19:13 @ Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to pronounce the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches."

rsv@Acts:19:14 @ Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this.

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:19:18 @ Many also of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices.

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:19:21 @ 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:19:23 @ About that time there arose no little stir concerning the Way.

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:19:31 @ 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:19:36 @ Seeing then that these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash.

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

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:20:2 @ When he had gone through these parts and had given them much encouragement, he came to Greece.

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:20:5 @ These went on and were waiting for us at Tro'as,

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:20:11 @ 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:20:13 @ 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:20:17 @ 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:20:19 @ serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which befell me through the plots of the Jews;

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

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

rsv@Acts:20:27 @ for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel 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:20:30 @ and from among your own selves will arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

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

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:20:34 @ 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:20:37 @ And they all wept and embraced Paul and kissed him,

rsv@Acts:20:38 @ sorrowing most of all because of the word he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him to the ship.

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:21:2 @ And having found a ship crossing to Phoeni'cia, we went aboard, and set sail.

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:21:8 @ 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:21:14 @ And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, "The will of the Lord be done."

rsv@Acts:21:15 @ After these days we made ready and went up to Jerusalem.

rsv@Acts:21:16 @ And some of the disciples from Caesare'a went with us, bringing us to the house of Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.

rsv@Acts:21:18 @ On the following day Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.

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

rsv@Acts:21:24 @ take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses, so that they may shave their heads. Thus all will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you but that you yourself live in observance of the law.

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:21:29 @ 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:21:34 @ 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:22:1 @ "Brethren and fathers, hear the defense which I now make before you."

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:22:4 @ 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:22:7 @ And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, `Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?'

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

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:22:14 @ 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:22:15 @ for you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

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

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:22:21 @ And he said to me, `Depart; for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'"

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:23:2 @ And the high priest Anani'as commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

rsv@Acts:23:4 @ Those who stood by said, "Would you revile God's high priest?"

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:23:12 @ 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:23:15 @ You therefore, along with the council, give notice now to the tribune to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case more exactly. And we are ready to kill him before he comes near."

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:23:35 @ he said, "I will hear you when your accusers arrive." And he commanded him to be guarded in Herod's praetorium.

rsv@Acts:24:1 @ And after five days the high priest Anani'as came down with some elders and a spokesman, one Tertul'lus. They laid before the governor their case against Paul;

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:24:5 @ For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, an agitator among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

rsv@Acts:24:6 @ He even tried to profane the temple, but we seized him.

rsv@Acts:24:7 @ By examining him yourself you will be able to learn from him about everything of which we accuse him."

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:24:13 @ But this I admit to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, believing everything laid down by the law or written in the prophets,

rsv@Acts:24:14 @ having a hope in God which these themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust.

rsv@Acts:24:19 @ Or else let these men themselves say what wrongdoing they found when I stood before the council,

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:24:23 @ After some days Felix came with his wife Drusil'la, who was a Jewess; and he sent for Paul and heard him speak upon faith in Christ Jesus.

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:25:3 @ asking as a favor to have the man sent to Jerusalem, planning an ambush to kill him on the way.

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:25:5 @ "So," said he, "let the men of authority among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them accuse him."

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:25:7 @ And when he had come, the Jews who had gone down from Jerusalem stood about him, bringing against him many serious charges which they could not prove.

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:25:11 @ 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:25:13 @ 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:25:15 @ and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews gave information about him, asking for sentence against him.

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:25:22 @ And Agrippa said to Festus, "I should like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," said he, "you shall hear him."

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:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him."

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:26:2 @ "I think myself fortunate that it is before you, King Agrippa, I am to make my defense today against all the accusations of the Jews,

rsv@Acts:26:3 @ because you are especially familiar with all customs and controversies of the Jews; therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.

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:26:6 @ And now I stand here on trial for hope in the promise made by God to our fathers,

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:26:13 @ 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:26:14 @ And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, `Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It hurts you to kick against the goads.'

rsv@Acts:26:15 @ And I said, `Who are you, Lord?' And the Lord said, `I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.

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:26:17 @ delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles--to whom I send 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:26:20 @ 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:26:22 @ To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass:

rsv@Acts:26:23 @ that the Christ must suffer, and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles."

rsv@Acts:26:24 @ And as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are mad; your great learning is turning you mad."

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:26:29 @ And Paul said, "Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am--except for these chains."

rsv@Acts:26:30 @ Then the king rose, and the governor and Berni'ce and those who were sitting with them;

rsv@Acts:26:31 @ and when they had withdrawn, they said to one another, "This man is doing nothing to deserve death or imprisonment."

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:27:2 @ 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:27:4 @ 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:27:8 @ 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:27:16 @ And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we managed with difficulty to secure the boat;

rsv@Acts:27:18 @ As we were violently storm-tossed, they began next day to throw the cargo overboard;

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:27:30 @ 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:27:35 @ And when he had said this, he took bread, and giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it and began to eat.

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:27:40 @ 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: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:28:8 @ 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:28:18 @ 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:28:20 @ 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:28:22 @ But we desire to hear from you what your views are; for with regard to this sect we know that everywhere it is spoken against."

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:28:25 @ 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:28:28 @ Let it be known to you then that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen."

rsv@Acts:28:29 @ And he lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him,

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:1:6 @ including yourselves who are called to belong to 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:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers,

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

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

rsv@Romans:1:19 @ For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

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:1:22 @ Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

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:1:24 @ Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,

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:1:27 @ 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:1:32 @ Though they know God's decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them but approve those who practice them.

rsv@Romans:2:1 @ Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge another; for in passing judgment upon him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.

rsv@Romans:2:2 @ We know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who do such things.

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

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:2:7 @ to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;

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:2:14 @ When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

rsv@Romans:2:15 @ They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them

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

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

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

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

rsv@Romans:2:21 @ you then who teach others, will you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal?

rsv@Romans:2:24 @ For, as it is written, "The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."

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:2:29 @ He is a Jew who is one inwardly, and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, spiritual and not literal. His praise is not from men but from 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:3:11 @ no one understands, no one seeks for God.

rsv@Romans:3:13 @ "Their throat is an open grave, they use their tongues to deceive." "The venom of asps is under their lips."

rsv@Romans:3:14 @ "Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness."

rsv@Romans:3:16 @ in their paths are ruin and misery,

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:3:25 @ 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:3:26 @ it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies him who has faith in Jesus.

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:4:7 @ "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:4:13 @ The promise to Abraham and his descendants, that they should inherit the world, did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

rsv@Romans:4:14 @ If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void.

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:4:19 @ 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:4:20 @ No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God,

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

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:5:5 @ 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:5:12 @ 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:5:14 @ 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:5:16 @ And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification.

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:5:20 @ Law came in, to increase the trespass; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

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:6:6 @ 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:6:9 @ For we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.

rsv@Romans:6:11 @ So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

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:6:15 @ What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!

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:6:18 @ and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.

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:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is sanctification and its end, eternal life.

rsv@Romans:7:1 @ Do you not know, brethren--for I am speaking to those who know the law--that the law is binding on a person only during his life?

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:7:10 @ the very commandment which promised life proved to be death to me.

rsv@Romans:7:21 @ So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand.

rsv@Romans:7:22 @ For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self,

rsv@Romans:7:23 @ but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members.

rsv@Romans:7:25 @ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

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

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

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:8:5 @ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

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

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:8:8 @ and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

rsv@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, although your bodies are dead because of sin, your spirits are alive because of righteousness.

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:8:16 @ it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

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

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:8:25 @ But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

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:8:37 @ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

rsv@Romans:8:38 @ For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

rsv@Romans:8:39 @ nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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:9:4 @ They are Israelites, and to them belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises;

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:9:7 @ 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:9:9 @ For this is what the promise said, "About this time I will return and Sarah shall have a son."

rsv@Romans:9:11 @ though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of his call,

rsv@Romans:9:12 @ she was told, "The elder will serve the younger."

rsv@Romans:9:15 @ For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

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:9:21 @ Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for beauty and another for menial use?

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:9:25 @ 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:9:27 @ 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:9:28 @ for the Lord will execute his sentence upon the earth with rigor and dispatch."

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:10:3 @ For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.

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

rsv@Romans:10:19 @ Again I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry."

rsv@Romans:10:20 @ Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, "I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me."

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:11:3 @ "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:11:5 @ So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.

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

rsv@Romans:11:8 @ as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that should not see and ears that should not hear, down to this very day."

rsv@Romans:11:10 @ let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and bend their backs for ever."

rsv@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast only through faith. So do not become proud, but stand in awe.

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:11:24 @ 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:11:25 @ Lest you be wise in your own conceits, I want you to understand this mystery, brethren: a hardening has come upon part of Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles come in,

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

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:11:34 @ "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"

rsv@Romans:12:1 @ I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

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

rsv@Romans:12:7 @ if service, in our serving; he who teaches, in his teaching;

rsv@Romans:12:11 @ Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord.

rsv@Romans:12:14 @ Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.

rsv@Romans:12:15 @ Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.

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: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:13:4 @ for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is the servant of God to execute his wrath on the wrongdoer.

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:13:13 @ let us conduct ourselves becomingly as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy.

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:14:4 @ Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Master is able to make him stand.

rsv@Romans:14:6 @ He who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. He also who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.

rsv@Romans:14:7 @ None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.

rsv@Romans:14:10 @ Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;

rsv@Romans:14:11 @ for it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God."

rsv@Romans:14:12 @ So each of us shall give account of himself to God.

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:14:22 @ The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God; happy is he who has no reason to judge himself for what he approves.

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

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:15:8 @ 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:15:9 @ and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "Therefore I will praise thee among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name";

rsv@Romans:15:11 @ and again, "Praise the Lord, all Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him";

rsv@Romans:15:12 @ and further Isaiah says, "The root of Jesse shall come, he who rises to rule the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope."

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:15:15 @ But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God

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:15:21 @ but as it is written, "They shall see who have never been told of him, and they shall understand who have never heard of him."

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:15:25 @ At present, however, I am going to Jerusalem with aid for the saints.

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:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord as befits the saints, and help her in whatever she may require from you, for she has been a helper of many and of myself as well.

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:16:10 @ Greet Apel'les, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobu'lus.

rsv@Romans:16:11 @ Greet my kinsman Hero'dion. Greet those in the Lord who belong to the family of Narcis'sus.

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:16:17 @ I appeal to you, brethren, to take note of those who create dissensions and difficulties, in opposition to the doctrine which you have been taught; avoid them.

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:16:24 @ Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages

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

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

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:1:16 @ (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:1:19 @ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart."

rsv@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

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:1:22 @ For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom,

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:1:25 @ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth;

rsv@1Corinthians:1:27 @ but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong,

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:1:29 @ so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.

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:2:9 @ 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:2:13 @ And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit.

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:3:5 @ What then is Apol'los? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.

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:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness,"

rsv@1Corinthians:3:20 @ and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile."

rsv@1Corinthians:3:22 @ whether Paul or Apol'los or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future, all are yours;

rsv@1Corinthians:4:1 @ This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

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:4:5 @ Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God.

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:4:9 @ 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:4:10 @ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute.

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:4:17 @ 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:4:19 @ But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power.

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:5:7 @ 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:5:12 @ For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?

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:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no man among you wise enough to decide between members of the brotherhood,

rsv@1Corinthians:6:8 @ But you yourselves wrong and defraud, and that even your own brethren.

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:6:14 @ And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two shall become one flesh."

rsv@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because of the temptation to immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:3 @ The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:4 @ For the wife does not rule over her own body, but the husband does; likewise the husband does not rule over his own body, but the wife does.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not refuse one another except perhaps by agreement for a season, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, lest Satan tempt you through lack of self-control.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own special gift from God, one of one kind and one of another.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion.

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

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

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:7:18 @ 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:7:21 @ 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:7:26 @ I think that in view of the present distress it is well for a person to remain as he is.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But if you marry, you do not sin, and if a girl marries she does not sin. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that.

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:7:30 @ and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods,

rsv@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the form of this world is passing away.

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: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:8:7 @ 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:8:8 @ Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

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:8:13 @ Therefore, if food is a cause of my brother's falling, I will never eat meat, lest I cause my brother to fall.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:1 @ Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:3 @ This is my defense to those who would examine me.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Who tends a flock without getting some of the milk?

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:9:10 @ Does he not speak entirely for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of a share in the crop.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others share this rightful claim upon you, do not we still more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.

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:9:15 @ But I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing this to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have any one deprive me of my ground for boasting.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What then is my reward? Just this: that in my preaching I may make the gospel free of charge, not making full use of my right in the gospel.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:20 @ To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the law I became as one under the law--though not being myself under the law--that I might win those under the law.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those outside the law I became as one outside the law--not being without law toward God but under the law of Christ--that I might win those outside the law.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

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:10:5 @ Nevertheless with most of them God was not pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things are warnings for us, not to desire evil as they did.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to dance."

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:10:11 @ 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:10:15 @ I speak as to sensible men; judge for yourselves what I say.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:18 @ Consider the people of Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar?

rsv@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God,

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:11:6 @ For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:10 @ That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

rsv@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him,

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:11:17 @ But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, when you assemble as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it,

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:11:22 @ What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:31 @ But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged.

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:12:5 @ and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord;

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:12:15 @ If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But as it is, God arranged the organs in the body, each one of them, as he chose.

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

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:12:28 @ 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:12:30 @ Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

rsv@1Corinthians:13:5 @ it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

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:13:12 @ For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:14:4 @ He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So with yourselves; if you in a tongue utter speech that is not intelligible, how will any one know what is said? For you will be speaking into the air.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:12 @ So with yourselves; since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how can any one in the position of an outsider say the "Amen" to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying?

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

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:14:28 @ But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silence in church and speak to himself and to God.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:4 @ that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures,

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:15:12 @ 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:15:20 @ But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

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

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:15:35 @ 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:15:47 @ The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:48 @ As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven.

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:16:3 @ And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:4 @ If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not want to see you now just in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:10 @ When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am.

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:16:15 @ 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:16:17 @ I rejoice at the coming of Steph'anas and Fortuna'tus and Acha'icus, because they have made up for your absence;

rsv@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia send greetings. Aq'uila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the brethren send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

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:1:8 @ 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:1:15 @ 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:1:20 @ For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why we utter the Amen through him, to the glory of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:22 @ he has put his seal upon us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

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:2:3 @ And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For I wrote you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

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

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

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

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:3:2 @ You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on your hearts, to be known and read by all men;

rsv@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God,

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:3:10 @ 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:3:13 @ not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not see the end of the fading 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:3:15 @ Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their minds;

rsv@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.

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:4:5 @ For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:9 @ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

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:4:15 @ For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.

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:4:18 @ because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

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

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

rsv@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to be proud of us, so that you may be able to answer those who pride themselves on a man's position and not on his heart.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

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:5:17 @ 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:5:19 @ that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message 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:6:4 @ but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities,

rsv@2Corinthians:6:10 @ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you,

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:7:8 @ 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:7:13 @ 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:7:16 @ I rejoice, because I have perfect confidence in you.

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:8:7 @ 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:8:13 @ I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but that as a matter of equality your abundance at the present time should supply their want, so that their abundance may supply your want, that there may be equality.

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:8:18 @ With him we are sending the brother who is famous among all the churches for his preaching of the gospel;

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:8:23 @ As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker in your service; and as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:24 @ So give proof, before the churches, of your love and of our boasting about you to these men.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:3 @ But I am sending the brethren so that our boasting about you may not prove vain in this case, so that you may be ready, as I said you would be;

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:9:12 @ for the rendering of this service not only supplies the wants of the saints but also overflows in many thanksgivings 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:9:14 @ while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God in you.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:1 @ I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold to you when I am away!--

rsv@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of acting in worldly fashion.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Look at what is before your eyes. If any one is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that as he is Christ's, so are we.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:9 @ I would not seem to be frightening you with letters.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account."

rsv@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such people understand that what we say by letter when absent, we do when present.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:12 @ Not that we venture to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another, and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you; we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ.

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:11:5 @ I think that I am not in the least inferior to these superlative apostles.

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:11:11 @ And why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!

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:11:13 @ For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

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

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:11:19 @ For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves!

rsv@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one--I am talking like a madman--with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death.

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:11:26 @ on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brethren;

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:12:3 @ And I know that this man was caught up into Paradise--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows--

rsv@2Corinthians:12:5 @ On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses.

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

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:12:9 @ but he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:10 @ For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

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:12:13 @ 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:12:14 @ Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for I seek not what is yours but you; for children ought not to lay up for their parents, but parents for their children.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But granting that I myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you say, and got the better of you by guile.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:17 @ Did I take advantage of you through any of those whom I sent to you?

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:12:20 @ For I fear that perhaps I may come and find you not what I wish, and that you may find me not what you wish; that perhaps there may be quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder.

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:13:5 @ 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:13:7 @ 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:13:10 @ I write this while I am away from you, in order that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.

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

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:1:10 @ Am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

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:1:15 @ 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:1:23 @ 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:2:2 @ I went up by revelation; and I laid before them (but privately before those who were of repute) the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, lest somehow I should be running or had run in vain.

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:2:15 @ We ourselves, who are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,

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:2:18 @ But if I build up again those things which I tore down, then I prove myself a transgressor.

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:3:7 @ So you see that it is men of faith who are the sons of Abraham.

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:3:13 @ 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:3:14 @ that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

rsv@Galatians:3:16 @ Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "And to offsprings," referring to many; but, referring to one, "And to your offspring," which is Christ.

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:3:18 @ For if the inheritance is by the law, it is no longer by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

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:3:21 @ 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:3:29 @ And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

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

rsv@Galatians:4:3 @ So with us; when we were children, we were slaves to the elemental spirits of the universe.

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

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

rsv@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"

rsv@Galatians:4:9 @ but now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and beggarly elemental spirits, whose slaves you want to be once more?

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

rsv@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong;

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:4:17 @ They make much of you, but for no good purpose; they want to shut you out, that you may make much of them.

rsv@Galatians:4:18 @ For a good purpose it is always good to be made much of, and not only when I am present with 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:4:23 @ But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, the son of the free woman through promise.

rsv@Galatians:4:24 @ Now this is an allegory: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar.

rsv@Galatians:4:25 @ Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

rsv@Galatians:4:28 @ Now we, brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.

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:5:11 @ 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:5:12 @ I wish those who unsettle you would mutilate themselves!

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:5:17 @ 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:5:20 @ idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit,

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

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

rsv@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another.

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:6:3 @ For if any one thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

rsv@Galatians:6:4 @ But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.

rsv@Galatians:6:9 @ And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.

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

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

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@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:1:4 @ even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.

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:1:9 @ For he has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ

rsv@Ephesians:1:11 @ In him, according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will,

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:1:14 @ which is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

rsv@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,

rsv@Ephesians:1:16 @ I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,

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:2:1 @ And you he made alive, when you were dead through the trespasses and sins

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:2:5 @ 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:2:9 @ not because of works, lest any man should boast.

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:2:15 @ by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace,

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:2:19 @ So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

rsv@Ephesians:2:20 @ built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,

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

rsv@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

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:3:13 @ So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.

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:4:14 @ 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:4:25 @ Therefore, putting away falsehood, let every one speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.

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: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:5:6 @ 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:5:11 @ Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

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

rsv@Ephesians:5:13 @ but when anything is exposed by the light it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light.

rsv@Ephesians:5:14 @ Therefore it is said, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light."

rsv@Ephesians:5:15 @ Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

rsv@Ephesians:5:16 @ making the most of the time, because the days are evil.

rsv@Ephesians:5:23 @ For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

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:5:27 @ that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.

rsv@Ephesians:5:28 @ Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

rsv@Ephesians:5:30 @ because we are members of his body.

rsv@Ephesians:6:7 @ rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to men,

rsv@Philippians:1:1 @ Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philip'pi, with the bishops and deacons:

rsv@Philippians:1:7 @ It is right for me to feel thus about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.

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:1:14 @ and most of the brethren have been made confident in the Lord because of my imprisonment, and are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.

rsv@Philippians:1:16 @ The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel;

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:1:22 @ If it is to be life in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell.

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:1:26 @ so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.

rsv@Philippians:1:27 @ Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,

rsv@Philippians:2:3 @ Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves.

rsv@Philippians:2:5 @ Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,

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:2:12 @ 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:2:18 @ Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

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:2:21 @ They all look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

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:2:23 @ I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me;

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

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:2:28 @ I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious.

rsv@Philippians:2:30 @ for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete your service to me.

rsv@Philippians:3:2 @ Look out for the dogs, look out for the evil-workers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.

rsv@Philippians:3:4 @ Though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If any other man thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

rsv@Philippians:3:6 @ as to zeal a persecutor of the church, as to righteousness under the law blameless.

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:3:17 @ Brethren, join in imitating me, and mark those who so live as you have an example in us.

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:4:7 @ And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

rsv@Philippians:4:8 @ Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

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@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:4:13 @ But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.

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:4:16 @ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ Therefore comfort one another with these words.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you.

rsv@Hebrews:2:12 @ saying, "I will proclaim thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the congregation I will praise thee."

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

rsv@Hebrews:2:15 @ and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage.

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

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:3:4 @ (For every house is built by some one, but the builder of all things is God.)

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

rsv@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ was faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in our hope.

rsv@Hebrews:3:16 @ Who were they that heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?

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:3:19 @ So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.

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:4:2 @ For good news came to us just as to them; but the message which they heard did not benefit them, because it did not meet with faith in the hearers.

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:4:10 @ for whoever enters God's rest also ceases from his labors as God did from his.

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: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:5:2 @ He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness.

rsv@Hebrews:5:3 @ Because of this he is bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people.

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:5:14 @ 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:6:7 @ 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:6:12 @ so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

rsv@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,

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: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:7:3 @ He is without father or mother or genealogy, and has neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest for ever.

rsv@Hebrews:7:4 @ See how great he is! Abraham the patriarch gave him a tithe of the spoils.

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

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

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:7:24 @ but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues for ever.

rsv@Hebrews:7:25 @ Consequently he is able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

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: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:8:2 @ a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent which is set up not by man but by the Lord.

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

rsv@Hebrews:8:8 @ For he finds fault with them when he says: "The days will come, says the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

rsv@Hebrews:8:10 @ This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

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:9:5 @ above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

rsv@Hebrews:9:6 @ These preparations having thus been made, the priests go continually into the outer tent, performing their ritual duties;

rsv@Hebrews:9:7 @ but into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people.

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:9:12 @ 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:9:14 @ 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:9:19 @ 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:9:21 @ And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship.

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:9:28 @ 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:10:3 @ But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sin year after year.

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

rsv@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

rsv@Hebrews:10:16 @ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,"

rsv@Hebrews:10:18 @ Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

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

rsv@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful;

rsv@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

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:10:33 @ 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:11:3 @ 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:11:5 @ 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:11:6 @ And without faith it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

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:11:9 @ 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:11:12 @ Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

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:11:14 @ For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.

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

rsv@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff.

rsv@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his burial.

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:11:29 @ 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:11:35 @ Women received their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, that they might rise again to a better life.

rsv@Hebrews:11:38 @ of whom the world was not worthy-- wandering over deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

rsv@Hebrews:11:39 @ And all these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised,

rsv@Hebrews:11:40 @ since God had foreseen something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

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:12:5 @ 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:12:6 @ For the Lord disciplines him whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives."

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:12:14 @ Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

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:12:19 @ and the sound of a trumpet, and a voice whose words made the hearers entreat that no further messages be spoken to them.

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:12:25 @ 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:12:27 @ This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of what is shaken, as of what has been made, in order that what cannot be shaken may remain.

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

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

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:13:13 @ Therefore let us go forth to him outside the camp and bear the abuse he endured.

rsv@Hebrews:13:14 @ For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city which is to come.

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:13:23 @ You should understand that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon.

rsv@Hebrews:13:24 @ Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings.

rsv@James:1:1 @ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greeting.

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

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

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:1:22 @ But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

rsv@James:1:23 @ For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who observes his natural face in a mirror;

rsv@James:1:24 @ for he observes himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.

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:2:2 @ For if a man with gold rings and in fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in,

rsv@James:2:3 @ and you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, "Have a seat here, please," while you say to the poor man, "Stand there," or, "Sit at my feet,"

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

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:2:8 @ If you really fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.

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

rsv@James:2:17 @ So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

rsv@James:2:22 @ You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works,

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

rsv@James:3:5 @ So the tongue is a little member and boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire!

rsv@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is an unrighteous world among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the cycle of nature, and set on fire by hell.

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:3:9 @ With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God.

rsv@James:3:18 @ And the harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

rsv@James:4:1 @ What causes wars, and what causes fightings among you? Is it not your passions that are at war in your members?

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

rsv@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

rsv@James:4:4 @ Unfaithful creatures! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

rsv@James:4:5 @ Or do you suppose it is in vain that the scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit which he has made to dwell in us"?

rsv@James:4:6 @ But he gives more grace; therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

rsv@James:4:7 @ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

rsv@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you men of double mind.

rsv@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore gird up your minds, be sober, set your hope fully upon the grace that is coming to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

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

rsv@1Peter:1:17 @ And if you invoke as Father him who judges each one impartially according to his deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile.

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

rsv@1Peter:1:23 @ You have been born anew, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;

rsv@1Peter:2:4 @ Come to him, to that living stone, rejected by men but in God's sight chosen and precious;

rsv@1Peter:2:5 @ and like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

rsv@1Peter:2:6 @ For it stands in scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and he who believes in him will not be put to shame."

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

rsv@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh that wage war against your soul.

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:2:14 @ or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.

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:2:18 @ Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to the kind and gentle but also to the overbearing.

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:2:24 @ 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:3:1 @ Likewise you wives, be submissive to your husbands, so that some, though they do not obey the word, may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,

rsv@1Peter:3:2 @ when they see your reverent and chaste behavior.

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:3:7 @ 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:3:10 @ For "He that would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking guile;

rsv@1Peter:3:11 @ let him turn away from evil and do right; let him seek peace and pursue it.

rsv@1Peter:3:12 @ For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those that do evil."

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:4:1 @ Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same thought, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

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:4:11 @ 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:4:14 @ 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:4:17 @ For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

rsv@1Peter:4:19 @ Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will do right and entrust their souls to a faithful Creator.

rsv@1Peter:5:3 @ not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock.

rsv@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise you that are younger be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

rsv@1Peter:5:6 @ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that in due time he may exalt you.

rsv@1Peter:5:8 @ Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour.

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@1Peter:5:13 @ She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings; and so does my son Mark.

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:1:4 @ 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:1:6 @ 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:1:12 @ 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:1:13 @ I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to arouse you by way of reminder,

rsv@2Peter:1:15 @ And I will see to it that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.

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

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

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:2:5 @ 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:2:10 @ and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and wilful, they are not afraid to revile the glorious ones,

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:2:17 @ 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: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:3:4 @ 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:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

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:3:13 @ But according to his promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

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:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability.

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

rsv@1John:1:7 @ but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

rsv@1John:1:8 @ If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

rsv@1John:1:9 @ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

rsv@1John:2:8 @ Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.

rsv@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother abides in the light, and in it there is no cause for stumbling.

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:2:12 @ I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his sake.

rsv@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father.

rsv@1John:2:14 @ I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

rsv@1John:2:17 @ And the world passes away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides for ever.

rsv@1John:2:21 @ I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and know that no lie is of the truth.

rsv@1John:2:23 @ No one who denies the Son has the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

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

rsv@1John:2:26 @ I write this to you about those who would deceive you;

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:3:3 @ And every one who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

rsv@1John:3:6 @ No one who abides in him sins; no one who sins has either seen him or known him.

rsv@1John:3:9 @ No one born of God commits sin; for God's nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God.

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

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

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:4:2 @ By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

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

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:4:12 @ No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

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

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

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

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:4:19 @ We love, because he first loved us.

rsv@1John:4:20 @ If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

rsv@1John:5:7 @ And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

rsv@1John:5:8 @ There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree.

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:5:16 @ If any one sees his brother committing what is not a mortal sin, he will ask, and God will give him life for those whose sin is not mortal. There is sin which is mortal; I do not say that one is to pray for that.

rsv@1John:5:21 @ Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

rsv@2John:1:2 @ because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us for ever:

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:1:10 @ If any one comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into the house or give him any greeting;

rsv@2John:1:12 @ Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink, but I hope to come to see you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.

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:1:10 @ So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, prating against me with evil words. And not content with that, he refuses himself to welcome the brethren, and also stops those who want to welcome them and puts them out of the church.

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@3John:1:12 @ Deme'trius has testimony from every one, and from the truth itself; I testify to him too, and you know my testimony is true.

rsv@3John:1:14 @ I hope to see you soon, and we will talk together face to face. [ (III John strkjv@1:15) Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends, every one of them. ]

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:1:4 @ 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:1:8 @ Yet in like manner these men in their dreamings defile the flesh, reject authority, and revile the glorious ones.

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:1:11 @ Woe to them! For they walk in the way of Cain, and abandon themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error, and perish in Korah's rebellion.

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:1:16 @ These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own passions, loud-mouthed boasters, flattering people to gain advantage.

rsv@Jude:1:19 @ It is these who set up divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit.

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

rsv@Jude:1:21 @ keep yourselves in the love of God; wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

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

rsv@Revelation:1:1 @ The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants what must soon take place; and he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
