rsv@Isaiah:1:2 @ Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the LORD has spoken: "Sons have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me.

rsv@Isaiah:1:4 @ Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the LORD, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged.

rsv@Isaiah:1:12 @ "When you come to appear before me, who requires of you this trampling of my courts?

rsv@Isaiah:1:15 @ When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.

rsv@Isaiah:1:16 @ Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil,

rsv@Isaiah:1:17 @ learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.

rsv@Isaiah:1:20 @ But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

rsv@Isaiah:1:24 @ Therefore the Lord says, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: "Ah, I will vent my wrath on my enemies, and avenge myself on my foes.

rsv@Isaiah:1:28 @ But rebels and sinners shall be destroyed together, and those who forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

rsv@Isaiah:1:29 @ For you shall be ashamed of the oaks in which you delighted; and you shall blush for the gardens which you have chosen.

rsv@Isaiah:1:30 @ For you shall be like an oak whose leaf withers, and like a garden without water.

rsv@Isaiah:2:3 @ and many peoples shall come, and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

rsv@Isaiah:2:4 @ He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

rsv@Isaiah:2:6 @ For thou hast rejected thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of diviners from the east and of soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with foreigners.

rsv@Isaiah:2:9 @ So man is humbled, and men are brought low-- forgive them not!

rsv@Isaiah:2:10 @ Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.

rsv@Isaiah:2:12 @ For the LORD of hosts has a day against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up and high;

rsv@Isaiah:2:15 @ against every high tower, and against every fortified wall;

rsv@Isaiah:2:19 @ And men shall enter the caves of the rocks and the holes of the ground, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.

rsv@Isaiah:2:20 @ In that day men will cast forth their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,

rsv@Isaiah:2:21 @ to enter the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.

rsv@Isaiah:2:22 @ Turn away from man in whose nostrils is breath, for of what account is he?

rsv@Isaiah:3:1 @ For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, is taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water;

rsv@Isaiah:3:8 @ For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen; because their speech and their deeds are against the LORD, defying his glorious presence.

rsv@Isaiah:3:9 @ Their partiality witnesses against them; they proclaim their sin like Sodom, they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil upon themselves.

rsv@Isaiah:3:10 @ Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.

rsv@Isaiah:3:11 @ Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for what his hands have done shall be done to him.

rsv@Isaiah:4:3 @ And he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, every one who has been recorded for life in Jerusalem,

rsv@Isaiah:4:5 @ Then the LORD will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory there will be a canopy and a pavilion.

rsv@Isaiah:4:6 @ It will be for a shade by day from the heat, and for a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain.

rsv@Isaiah:5:1 @ Let me sing for my beloved a love song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.

rsv@Isaiah:5:2 @ He digged it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; and he looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.

rsv@Isaiah:5:4 @ What more was there to do for my vineyard, that I have not done in it? When I looked for it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes?

rsv@Isaiah:5:7 @ For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant planting; and he looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, a cry!

rsv@Isaiah:5:10 @ For ten acres of vineyard shall yield but one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah."

rsv@Isaiah:5:13 @ Therefore my people go into exile for want of knowledge; their honored men are dying of hunger, and their multitude is parched with thirst.

rsv@Isaiah:5:14 @ Therefore Sheol has enlarged its appetite and opened its mouth beyond measure, and the nobility of Jerusalem and her multitude go down, her throng and he who exults in her.

rsv@Isaiah:5:20 @ Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

rsv@Isaiah:5:23 @ who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of his right!

rsv@Isaiah:5:24 @ Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom go up like dust; for they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

rsv@Isaiah:5:25 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he stretched out his hand against them and smote them, and the mountains quaked; and their corpses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.

rsv@Isaiah:5:26 @ He will raise a signal for a nation afar off, and whistle for it from the ends of the earth; and lo, swiftly, speedily it comes!

rsv@Isaiah:6:5 @ And I said: "Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"

rsv@Isaiah:6:7 @ And he touched my mouth, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin forgiven."

rsv@Isaiah:6:8 @ And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."

rsv@Isaiah:6:12 @ and the LORD removes men far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.

rsv@Isaiah:7:2 @ When the house of David was told, "Syria is in league with E'phraim," his heart and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind.

rsv@Isaiah:7:3 @ And the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go forth to meet Ahaz, you and She'ar-jash'ub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Fuller's Field,

rsv@Isaiah:7:6 @ "Let us go up against Judah and terrify it, and let us conquer it for ourselves, and set up the son of Ta'be-el as king in the midst of it,"

rsv@Isaiah:7:8 @ For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. (Within sixty-five years E'phraim will be broken to pieces so that it will no longer be a people.)

rsv@Isaiah:7:13 @ And he said, "Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also?

rsv@Isaiah:7:14 @ Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, a young woman shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Imman'u-el.

rsv@Isaiah:7:16 @ For before the child knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land before whose two kings you are in dread will be deserted.

rsv@Isaiah:7:18 @ In that day the LORD will whistle for the fly which is at the sources of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria.

rsv@Isaiah:7:22 @ and because of the abundance of milk which they give, he will eat curds; for every one that is left in the land will eat curds and honey.

rsv@Isaiah:7:24 @ With bow and arrows men will come there, for all the land will be briers and thorns;

rsv@Isaiah:7:25 @ and as for all the hills which used to be hoed with a hoe, you will not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but they will become a place where cattle are let loose and where sheep tread.

rsv@Isaiah:8:2 @ And I got reliable witnesses, Uri'ah the priest and Zechari'ah the son of Jeberechi'ah, to attest for me.

rsv@Isaiah:8:4 @ for before the child knows how to cry `My father' or `My mother,' the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Sama'ria will be carried away before the king of Assyria."

rsv@Isaiah:8:6 @ "Because this people have refused the waters of Shilo'ah that flow gently, and melt in fear before Rezin and the son of Remali'ah;

rsv@Isaiah:8:7 @ therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up against them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory; and it will rise over all its channels and go over all its banks;

rsv@Isaiah:8:10 @ Take counsel together, but it will come to nought; speak a word, but it will not stand, for God is with us.

rsv@Isaiah:8:11 @ For the LORD spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying:

rsv@Isaiah:8:17 @ I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him.

rsv@Isaiah:8:20 @ To the teaching and to the testimony! Surely for this word which they speak there is no dawn.

rsv@Isaiah:9:1 @ But there will be no gloom for her that was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zeb'ulun and the land of Naph'tali, but in the latter time he will make glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

rsv@Isaiah:9:3 @ Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased its joy; they rejoice before thee as with joy at the harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

rsv@Isaiah:9:4 @ For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as on the day of Mid'ian.

rsv@Isaiah:9:5 @ For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire.

rsv@Isaiah:9:6 @ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

rsv@Isaiah:9:7 @ Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and for evermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.

rsv@Isaiah:9:12 @ The Syrians on the east and the Philistines on the west devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.

rsv@Isaiah:9:16 @ for those who lead this people lead them astray, and those who are led by them are swallowed up.

rsv@Isaiah:9:17 @ Therefore the Lord does not rejoice over their young men, and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is godless and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.

rsv@Isaiah:9:18 @ For wickedness burns like a fire, it consumes briers and thorns; it kindles the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.

rsv@Isaiah:9:19 @ Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts the land is burned, and the people are like fuel for the fire; no man spares his brother.

rsv@Isaiah:9:21 @ Manas'seh E'phraim, and E'phraim Manas'seh, and together they are against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.

rsv@Isaiah:10:3 @ What will you do on the day of punishment, in the storm which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth?

rsv@Isaiah:10:4 @ Nothing remains but to crouch among the prisoners or fall among the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.

rsv@Isaiah:10:8 @ for he says: "Are not my commanders all kings?

rsv@Isaiah:10:13 @ For he says: "By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding; I have removed the boundaries of peoples, and have plundered their treasures; like a bull I have brought down those who sat on thrones.

rsv@Isaiah:10:14 @ My hand has found like a nest the wealth of the peoples; and as men gather eggs that have been forsaken so I have gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved a wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped."

rsv@Isaiah:10:16 @ Therefore the Lord, the LORD of hosts, will send wasting sickness among his stout warriors, and under his glory a burning will be kindled, like the burning of fire.

rsv@Isaiah:10:18 @ The glory of his forest and of his fruitful land the LORD will destroy, both soul and body, and it will be as when a sick man wastes away.

rsv@Isaiah:10:19 @ The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few that a child can write them down.

rsv@Isaiah:10:22 @ For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness.

rsv@Isaiah:10:23 @ For the Lord, the LORD of hosts, will make a full end, as decreed, in the midst of all the earth.

rsv@Isaiah:10:24 @ Therefore thus says the Lord, the LORD of hosts: "O my people, who dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrians when they smite with the rod and lift up their staff against you as the Egyptians did.

rsv@Isaiah:10:25 @ For in a very little while my indignation will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction.

rsv@Isaiah:10:29 @ they have crossed over the pass, at Geba they lodge for the night; Ramah trembles, Gib'e-ah of Saul has fled.

rsv@Isaiah:10:31 @ Madme'nah is in flight, the inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.

rsv@Isaiah:10:34 @ He will cut down the thickets of the forest with an axe, and Lebanon with its majestic trees will fall.

rsv@Isaiah:11:1 @ There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots.

rsv@Isaiah:11:4 @ but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.

rsv@Isaiah:11:9 @ They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

rsv@Isaiah:11:12 @ He will raise an ensign for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

rsv@Isaiah:11:14 @ But they shall swoop down upon the shoulder of the Philistines in the west, and together they shall plunder the people of the east. They shall put forth their hand against Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites shall obey them.

rsv@Isaiah:11:16 @ And there will be a highway from Assyria for the remnant which is left of his people, as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt.

rsv@Isaiah:12:1 @ You will say in that day: "I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, for though thou wast angry with me, thy anger turned away, and thou didst comfort me.

rsv@Isaiah:12:2 @ "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation."

rsv@Isaiah:12:5 @ "Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously; let this be known in all the earth.

rsv@Isaiah:12:6 @ Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel."

rsv@Isaiah:13:2 @ On a bare hill raise a signal, cry aloud to them; wave the hand for them to enter the gates of the nobles.

rsv@Isaiah:13:4 @ Hark, a tumult on the mountains as of a great multitude! Hark, an uproar of kingdoms, of nations gathering together! The LORD of hosts is mustering a host for battle.

rsv@Isaiah:13:6 @ Wail, for the day of the LORD is near; as destruction from the Almighty it will come!

rsv@Isaiah:13:7 @ Therefore all hands will be feeble, and every man's heart will melt,

rsv@Isaiah:13:10 @ For the stars of the heavens and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be dark at its rising and the moon will not shed its light.

rsv@Isaiah:13:11 @ I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant, and lay low the haughtiness of the ruthless.

rsv@Isaiah:13:13 @ Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place, at the wrath of the LORD of hosts in the day of his fierce anger.

rsv@Isaiah:13:16 @ Their infants will be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses will be plundered and their wives ravished.

rsv@Isaiah:13:17 @ Behold, I am stirring up the Medes against them, who have no regard for silver and do not delight in gold.

rsv@Isaiah:13:20 @ It will never be inhabited or dwelt in for all generations; no Arab will pitch his tent there, no shepherds will make their flocks lie down there.

rsv@Isaiah:14:7 @ The whole earth is at rest and quiet; they break forth into singing.

rsv@Isaiah:14:21 @ Prepare slaughter for his sons because of the guilt of their fathers, lest they rise and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities."

rsv@Isaiah:14:27 @ For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?

rsv@Isaiah:14:29 @ "Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of you, that the rod which smote you is broken, for from the serpent's root will come forth an adder, and its fruit will be a flying serpent.

rsv@Isaiah:14:31 @ Wail, O gate; cry, O city; melt in fear, O Philistia, all of you! For smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks."

rsv@Isaiah:15:4 @ Heshbon and Ele-a'leh cry out, their voice is heard as far as Jahaz; therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his soul trembles.

rsv@Isaiah:15:5 @ My heart cries out for Moab; his fugitives flee to Zo'ar, to Eg'lath-shelish'iyah. For at the ascent of Luhith they go up weeping; on the road to Horona'im they raise a cry of destruction;

rsv@Isaiah:15:7 @ Therefore the abundance they have gained and what they have laid up they carry away over the Brook of the Willows.

rsv@Isaiah:15:8 @ For a cry has gone round the land of Moab; the wailing reaches to Egla'im, the wailing reaches to Beer-e'lim.

rsv@Isaiah:15:9 @ For the waters of Dibon are full of blood; yet I will bring upon Dibon even more, a lion for those of Moab who escape, for the remnant of the land.

rsv@Isaiah:16:2 @ Like fluttering birds, like scattered nestlings, so are the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon.

rsv@Isaiah:16:7 @ Therefore let Moab wail, let every one wail for Moab. Mourn, utterly stricken, for the raisin-cakes of Kir-har'eseth.

rsv@Isaiah:16:8 @ For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the nations have struck down its branches, which reached to Jazer and strayed to the desert; its shoots spread abroad and passed over the sea.

rsv@Isaiah:16:9 @ Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah; I drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Ele-a'leh; for upon your fruit and your harvest the battle shout has fallen.

rsv@Isaiah:16:11 @ Therefore my soul moans like a lyre for Moab, and my heart for Kir-he'res.

rsv@Isaiah:17:2 @ Her cities will be deserted for ever; they will be for flocks, which will lie down, and none will make them afraid.

rsv@Isaiah:17:3 @ The fortress will disappear from E'phraim, and the kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Syria will be like the glory of the children of Israel, says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Isaiah:17:8 @ they will not have regard for the altars, the work of their hands, and they will not look to what their own fingers have made, either the Ashe'rim or the altars of incense.

rsv@Isaiah:17:10 @ For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the Rock of your refuge; therefore, though you plant pleasant plants and set out slips of an alien god,

rsv@Isaiah:17:13 @ The nations roar like the roaring of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away, chased like chaff on the mountains before the wind and whirling dust before the storm.

rsv@Isaiah:17:14 @ At evening time, behold, terror! Before morning, they are no more! This is the portion of those who despoil us, and the lot of those who plunder us.

rsv@Isaiah:18:4 @ For thus the LORD said to me: "I will quietly look from my dwelling like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."

rsv@Isaiah:18:5 @ For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the shoots with pruning hooks, and the spreading branches he will hew away.

rsv@Isaiah:19:10 @ Those who are the pillars of the land will be crushed, and all who work for hire will be grieved.

rsv@Isaiah:19:15 @ And there will be nothing for Egypt which head or tail, palm branch or reed, may do.

rsv@Isaiah:19:16 @ In that day the Egyptians will be like women, and tremble with fear before the hand which the LORD of hosts shakes over them.

rsv@Isaiah:19:21 @ And the LORD will make himself known to the Egyptians; and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day and worship with sacrifice and burnt offering, and they will make vows to the LORD and perform them.

rsv@Isaiah:20:3 @ the LORD said, "As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Ethiopia,

rsv@Isaiah:20:6 @ And the inhabitants of this coastland will say in that day, `Behold, this is what has happened to those in whom we hoped and to whom we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria! And we, how shall we escape?'"

rsv@Isaiah:21:3 @ Therefore my loins are filled with anguish; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman in travail; I am bowed down so that I cannot hear, I am dismayed so that I cannot see.

rsv@Isaiah:21:4 @ My mind reels, horror has appalled me; the twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.

rsv@Isaiah:21:6 @ For thus the Lord said to me: "Go, set a watchman, let him announce what he sees.

rsv@Isaiah:21:15 @ For they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the press of battle.

rsv@Isaiah:21:16 @ For thus the Lord said to me, "Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end;

rsv@Isaiah:21:17 @ and the remainder of the archers of the mighty men of the sons of Kedar will be few; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken."

rsv@Isaiah:22:4 @ Therefore I said: "Look away from me, let me weep bitter tears; do not labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people."

rsv@Isaiah:22:5 @ For the Lord GOD of hosts has a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the valley of vision, a battering down of walls and a shouting to the mountains.

rsv@Isaiah:22:8 @ He has taken away the covering of Judah. In that day you looked to the weapons of the House of the Forest,

rsv@Isaiah:22:10 @ and you counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.

rsv@Isaiah:22:11 @ You made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who did it, or have regard for him who planned it long ago.

rsv@Isaiah:22:13 @ and behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."

rsv@Isaiah:22:14 @ The LORD of hosts has revealed himself in my ears: "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you till you die," says the Lord GOD of hosts.

rsv@Isaiah:22:16 @ What have you to do here and whom have you here, that you have hewn here a tomb for yourself, you who hew a tomb on the height, and carve a habitation for yourself in the rock?

rsv@Isaiah:22:25 @ In that day, says the LORD of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a sure place will give way; and it will be cut down and fall, and the burden that was upon it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken."

rsv@Isaiah:23:1 @ The oracle concerning Tyre. Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is laid waste, without house or haven! From the land of Cyprus it is revealed to them.

rsv@Isaiah:23:4 @ Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying: "I have neither travailed nor given birth, I have neither reared young men nor brought up virgins."

rsv@Isaiah:23:13 @ Behold the land of the Chalde'ans! This is the people; it was not Assyria. They destined Tyre for wild beasts. They erected their siegetowers, they razed her palaces, they made her a ruin.

rsv@Isaiah:23:14 @ Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste.

rsv@Isaiah:23:15 @ In that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:

rsv@Isaiah:23:16 @ "Take a harp, go about the city, O forgotten harlot! Make sweet melody, sing many songs, that you may be remembered."

rsv@Isaiah:23:18 @ Her merchandise and her hire will be dedicated to the LORD; it will not be stored or hoarded, but her merchandise will supply abundant food and fine clothing for those who dwell before the LORD.

rsv@Isaiah:24:3 @ The earth shall be utterly laid waste and utterly despoiled; for the LORD has spoken this word.

rsv@Isaiah:24:5 @ The earth lies polluted under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.

rsv@Isaiah:24:6 @ Therefore a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched, and few men are left.

rsv@Isaiah:24:11 @ There is an outcry in the streets for lack of wine; all joy has reached its eventide; the gladness of the earth is banished.

rsv@Isaiah:24:13 @ For thus it shall be in the midst of the earth among the nations, as when an olive tree is beaten, as at the gleaning when the vintage is done.

rsv@Isaiah:24:14 @ They lift up their voices, they sing for joy; over the majesty of the LORD they shout from the west.

rsv@Isaiah:24:15 @ Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD; in the coastlands of the sea, to the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

rsv@Luke:21:8 @ And he said, "Take heed that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name, saying, `I am he!' and, `The time is at hand!' Do not go after them.

rsv@Luke:21:9 @ And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified; for this must first take place, but the end will not be at once."

rsv@Luke: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:21:13 @ This will be a time for you to bear testimony.

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

rsv@Luke:21:15 @ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.

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

rsv@Luke:21:23 @ Alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days! For great distress shall be upon the earth and wrath upon this people;

rsv@Luke:21:36 @ But watch at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of man."

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

rsv@Luke:22:15 @ And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer;

rsv@Luke:22:16 @ for I tell you I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

rsv@Luke:22:18 @ for I tell you that from now on I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."

rsv@Luke:22:19 @ And he took bread, and when he had given thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."

rsv@Luke:22:20 @ And likewise the cup after supper, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.

rsv@Luke:22:22 @ For the Son of man goes as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!"

rsv@Luke:22:27 @ 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:22:32 @ but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren."

rsv@Luke:22:37 @ For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, `And he was reckoned with transgressors'; for what is written about me has its fulfilment."

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

rsv@Luke:22:57 @ And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, "Certainly this man also was with him; for he is a Galilean."

rsv@Luke:22:59 @ And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "Before the cock crows today, you will deny me three times."

rsv@Luke: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:23:8 @ 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:23:12 @ And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.

rsv@Luke:23:14 @ and said to them, "You brought me this man as one who was perverting the people; and after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him;

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:23:24 @ 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:23:27 @ 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:23:30 @ For if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?"

rsv@Luke:23:33 @ And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." And they cast lots to divide his garments.

rsv@Luke:23:40 @ And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."

rsv@Luke:23:50 @ who had not consented to their purpose and deed, and he was looking for the kingdom of God.

rsv@Luke:23:51 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

rsv@Luke:24:18 @ And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

rsv@Luke:24:28 @ but they constrained him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So he went in to stay with them.

rsv@Luke:24:38 @ 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:24:39 @ And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"

rsv@John:1:7 @ He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him.

rsv@John:1:15 @ (John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'")

rsv@John:1:17 @ For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus 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:1:30 @ This is he of whom I said, `After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.'

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:1:39 @ 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:1:48 @ Nathan'a-el said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

rsv@John:2:6 @ Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

rsv@John:2:12 @ After this he went down to Caper'na-um, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples; and there they stayed for a few days.

rsv@John:2:17 @ His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for thy house will consume me."

rsv@John:2:18 @ The Jews then said to him, "What sign have you to show us for doing this?"

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:2:25 @ because he knew all men and needed no one to bear witness of man; for he himself knew what was in man.

rsv@John:3:2 @ 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:3:16 @ For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

rsv@John:3:17 @ For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

rsv@John:3:20 @ For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

rsv@John:3:24 @ For John had not yet been put in prison.

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:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice; therefore this joy of mine is now full.

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:4:8 @ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

rsv@John:4:9 @ The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samar'ia?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

rsv@John:4:18 @ for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband; this you said truly."

rsv@John:4:22 @ You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

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:4:35 @ 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:4:36 @ He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.

rsv@John:4:37 @ For here the saying holds true, `One sows and another reaps.'

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:4:42 @ 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:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

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

rsv@John:4:49 @ The official said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."

rsv@John:5:4 @ One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

rsv@John:5:6 @ The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me."

rsv@John:5:9 @ So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet."

rsv@John:5:12 @ Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.

rsv@John:5:18 @ 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:5:25 @ For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself,

rsv@John:5:27 @ Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

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:5:34 @ He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

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

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

rsv@John:6:7 @ Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little."

rsv@John:6:15 @ 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:6:27 @ 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:6:30 @ 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:6:33 @ For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world."

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:6:40 @ 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:6:51 @ I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh."

rsv@John:6:55 @ For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

rsv@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live for ever."

rsv@John:6:62 @ 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:6:71 @ He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was to betray him.

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:7:5 @ For even his brothers did not believe in him.

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:7:11 @ The Jews were looking for him at the feast, and saying, "Where is he?"

rsv@John:7:13 @ Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.

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

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

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:7:50 @ Nicode'mus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them,

rsv@John:8:9 @ But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

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:8:19 @ They said to him therefore, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also."

rsv@John:8:24 @ I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he."

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:8:41 @ You do what your father did." They said to him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God."

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:8:44 @ 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:8:58 @ Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am."

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:9:16 @ 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:9:21 @ 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:9:23 @ Therefore his parents said, "He is of age, ask him."

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

rsv@John:9:39 @ 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:10:4 @ When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

rsv@John:10:5 @ A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."

rsv@John:10:8 @ All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them.

rsv@John:10:11 @ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

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

rsv@John:10:15 @ as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life 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:10:32 @ 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:11:4 @ But when Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death; it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by means of it."

rsv@John:11:15 @ and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."

rsv@John:11:28 @ When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying quietly, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you."

rsv@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days."

rsv@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him;

rsv@John:11:47 @ So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council, and said, "What are we to do? For this man performs many signs.

rsv@John:11:50 @ you do not understand that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish."

rsv@John:11:51 @ He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation,

rsv@John:11:52 @ and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

rsv@John:11:54 @ Jesus therefore no longer went about openly among the Jews, but went from there to the country near the wilderness, to a town called E'phraim; and there he stayed with the disciples.

rsv@John: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:11:56 @ They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"

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:12:5 @ "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"

rsv@John:12:6 @ This he said, not that he cared for the poor but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box he used to take what was put into it.

rsv@John:12:7 @ Jesus said, "Let her alone, let her keep it for the day of my burial.

rsv@John:12:23 @ And Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.

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:12:27 @ "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:12:30 @ Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not for mine.

rsv@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains for ever. How can you say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?"

rsv@John:12:35 @ Jesus said to them, "The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, lest the darkness overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

rsv@John:12:37 @ Though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him;

rsv@John:12:39 @ Therefore they could not believe. For Isaiah again said,

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:12:42 @ 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:12:47 @ If any one hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

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:12:50 @ And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has bidden me."

rsv@John:13:1 @ Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

rsv@John:13:10 @ Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but he is clean all over; and you are clean, but not every one of you."

rsv@John:13:11 @ For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, "You are not all clean."

rsv@John:13:13 @ You call me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

rsv@John:13:15 @ For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

rsv@John:13:19 @ I tell you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.

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:13:35 @ By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

rsv@John:13:37 @ Peter said to him, "Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

rsv@John:13:38 @ Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the cock will not crow, till you have denied me three times.

rsv@John:14:2 @ In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?

rsv@John:14:3 @ And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

rsv@John:14:7 @ If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; henceforth you know him and have seen him."

rsv@John:14:11 @ Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.

rsv@John:14:29 @ And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe.

rsv@John:14:30 @ I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me;

rsv@John:15:5 @ I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

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:18:13 @ First they led him to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year.

rsv@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin."

rsv@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

rsv@John:19:23 @ 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:19:31 @ Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

rsv@John:19:38 @ 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:20:23 @ If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."

rsv@John:21:6 @ He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, for the quantity of fish.

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@Acts:15:14 @ Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

rsv@Acts:15:19 @ Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God,

rsv@Acts:15:21 @ For from early generations Moses has had in every city those who preach him, for he is read every sabbath in the synagogues."

rsv@Acts:15:26 @ men who have risked their lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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:15:28 @ For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

rsv@Acts: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:16:6 @ And they went through the region of Phry'gia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

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:16:18 @ And this she did for many days. But Paul was annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I charge you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out that very hour.

rsv@Acts:16:19 @ But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place before the rulers;

rsv@Acts:16:21 @ They advocate customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to accept or practice."

rsv@Acts:16:28 @ But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."

rsv@Acts:16:29 @ And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas,

rsv@Acts:16:34 @ Then he brought them up into his house, and set food before them; and he rejoiced with all his household that he had believed in God.

rsv@Acts:16:36 @ And the jailer reported the words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace."

rsv@Acts:17:2 @ And Paul went in, as was his custom, and for three weeks he argued with them from the scriptures,

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:17:6 @ 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:17:11 @ Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessaloni'ca, for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

rsv@Acts:17:12 @ Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek women of high standing as well as men.

rsv@Acts:17:15 @ Those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.

rsv@Acts:17:16 @ Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols.

rsv@Acts:17:18 @ 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:17:20 @ For you bring some strange things to our ears; we wish to know therefore what these things mean."

rsv@Acts:17:21 @ Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new.

rsv@Acts:17:23 @ For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, `To an unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.

rsv@Acts:17:28 @ for `In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your poets have said, `For we are indeed his offspring.'

rsv@Acts: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:18:10 @ for I am with you, and no man shall attack you to harm you; for I have many people in this city."

rsv@Acts:18:12 @ But when Gallio was proconsul of Acha'ia, the Jews made a united attack upon Paul and brought him before the tribunal,

rsv@Acts:18:18 @ After this Paul stayed many days longer, and then took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aq'uila. At Cen'chre-ae he cut his hair, for he had a vow.

rsv@Acts:18:20 @ When they asked him to stay for a longer period, he declined;

rsv@Acts:18:28 @ for he powerfully confuted the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.

rsv@Acts:19:8 @ And he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, arguing and pleading about the kingdom of God;

rsv@Acts:19:9 @ but when some were stubborn and disbelieved, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them, taking the disciples with him, and argued daily in the hall of Tyran'nus.

rsv@Acts:19:10 @ This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

rsv@Acts:19:22 @ And having sent into Macedo'nia two of his helpers, Timothy and Eras'tus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

rsv@Acts:19:24 @ For a man named Deme'trius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Ar'temis, brought no little business to the craftsmen.

rsv@Acts:19:27 @ 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:19:32 @ Now some cried one thing, some another; for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had come together.

rsv@Acts:19:33 @ Some of the crowd prompted Alexander, whom the Jews had put forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand, wishing to make a defense to the people.

rsv@Acts:19:34 @ But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all with one voice cried out, "Great is Ar'temis of the Ephesians!"

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

rsv@Acts:19:38 @ If therefore Deme'trius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against any one, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring charges against one another.

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:20:1 @ After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples and having exhorted them took leave of them and departed for Macedo'nia.

rsv@Acts:20:3 @ There he spent three months, and when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedo'nia.

rsv@Acts:20:5 @ 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:20:10 @ But Paul went down and bent over him, and embracing him said, "Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him."

rsv@Acts:20:12 @ And they took the lad away alive, and were not a little comforted.

rsv@Acts:20:13 @ But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land.

rsv@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.

rsv@Acts:20:26 @ Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all of you,

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

rsv@Acts:21:3 @ When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload its cargo.

rsv@Acts:21:4 @ And having sought out the disciples, we stayed there for seven days. Through the Spirit they told Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.

rsv@Acts:21:7 @ When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolema'is; and we greeted the brethren and stayed with them for one day.

rsv@Acts:21:10 @ While we were staying for some days, a prophet named Ag'abus came down from Judea.

rsv@Acts:21:13 @ Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

rsv@Acts:21:20 @ 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:21:23 @ Do therefore what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow;

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:21:29 @ 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:21:36 @ for the mob of the people followed, crying, "Away with him!"

rsv@Acts:22:1 @ "Brethren and fathers, hear the defense which I now make before you."

rsv@Acts:22:3 @ "I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cili'cia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gama'li-el, educated according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God as you all are this day.

rsv@Acts:22:10 @ 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:22:15 @ for you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

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

rsv@Acts:22:22 @ Up to this word they listened to him; then they lifted up their voices and said, "Away with such a fellow from the earth! For he ought not to live."

rsv@Acts:22:25 @ But when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman citizen, and uncondemned?"

rsv@Acts:22:26 @ When the centurion heard that, he went to the tribune and said to him, "What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen."

rsv@Acts:22:28 @ The tribune answered, "I bought this citizenship for a large sum." Paul said, "But I was born a citizen."

rsv@Acts:22:29 @ So those who were about to examine him withdrew from him instantly; and the tribune also was afraid, for he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had bound him.

rsv@Acts:22:30 @ But on the morrow, desiring to know the real reason why the Jews accused him, he unbound him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and he brought Paul down and set him before them.

rsv@Acts:23:1 @ And Paul, looking intently at the council, said, "Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience up to this day."

rsv@Acts:23:5 @ And Paul said, "I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, `You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.'"

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:23:10 @ And when the dissension became violent, the tribune, afraid that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them and bring him into the barracks.

rsv@Acts:23:11 @ The following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must bear witness also at Rome."

rsv@Acts:23:13 @ There were more than forty who made this conspiracy.

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:23:17 @ And Paul called one of the centurions and said, "Take this young man to the tribune; for he has something to tell him."

rsv@Acts:23:21 @ 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:23:24 @ Also provide mounts for Paul to ride, and bring him safely to Felix the governor."

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:23:33 @ When they came to Caesare'a and delivered the letter to the governor, they presented Paul also before him.

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:24:9 @ 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:24:18 @ they ought to be here before you and to make an accusation, if they have anything against me.

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

rsv@Acts:24:20 @ except this one thing which I cried out while standing among them, `With respect to the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you this day.'"

rsv@Acts:24:23 @ 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:25:2 @ And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they urged him,

rsv@Acts:25:9 @ But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, "Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem, and there be tried on these charges before me?"

rsv@Acts:25:10 @ But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried; to the Jews I have done no wrong, as you know very well.

rsv@Acts:25:11 @ If then I am a wrongdoer, and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death; but if there is nothing in their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."

rsv@Acts:25:14 @ 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:25:21 @ 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:25:26 @ But I have nothing definite to write to my lord about him. Therefore I have brought him before you, and, especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after we have examined him, I may have something to write.

rsv@Acts: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:26:11 @ 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:26:16 @ But rise and stand upon your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you to serve and bear witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you,

rsv@Acts:26:18 @ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

rsv@Acts:26:19 @ "Wherefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

rsv@Acts:26:20 @ but declared first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God and perform deeds worthy of their repentance.

rsv@Acts:26:21 @ For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.

rsv@Acts:26:26 @ For the king knows about these things, and to him I speak freely; for I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this was not done in a corner.

rsv@Acts:26:29 @ 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:27:1 @ And when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan Cohort, named Julius.

rsv@Acts:27:3 @ The next day we put in at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go to his friends and be cared for.

rsv@Acts:27:6 @ There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and put us on board.

rsv@Acts:27:7 @ We sailed slowly for a number of days, and arrived with difficulty off Cni'dus, and as the wind did not allow us to go on, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmo'ne.

rsv@Acts:27:20 @ And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many a day, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.

rsv@Acts:27:21 @ As they had been long without food, Paul then came forward among them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me, and should not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss.

rsv@Acts:27:22 @ I now bid you take heart; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

rsv@Acts:27:23 @ For this very night there stood by me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship,

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:27:25 @ So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.

rsv@Acts:27:29 @ And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let out four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day to come.

rsv@Acts:27:34 @ Therefore I urge you to take some food; it will give you strength, since not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you."

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:27:43 @ 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:28:6 @ They waited, expecting him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead; but when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

rsv@Acts:28:7 @ Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and entertained us hospitably for three days.

rsv@Acts:28:12 @ Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days.

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:28:18 @ 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:28:27 @ 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@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:1:5 @ through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,

rsv@Romans:1:8 @ 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:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel: it is the power of God for salvation to every one who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

rsv@Romans:1:17 @ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, "He who through faith is righteous shall live."

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

rsv@Romans:1:19 @ For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

rsv@Romans:1:21 @ for although they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened.

rsv@Romans:1:23 @ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man or birds or animals or reptiles.

rsv@Romans:1:24 @ 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:1:26 @ For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural,

rsv@Romans:1:27 @ and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error.

rsv@Romans: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:2:4 @ Or do you presume upon the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not know that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

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:2:6 @ For he will render to every man according to his works:

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

rsv@Romans:2:10 @ but glory and honor and peace for every one who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek.

rsv@Romans:2:11 @ For God shows no partiality.

rsv@Romans:2:13 @ For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

rsv@Romans:2:24 @ For, as it is written, "The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."

rsv@Romans:2:28 @ For he is not a real Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something external and physical.

rsv@Romans:3:6 @ By no means! For then how could God judge the world?

rsv@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all; for I have already charged that all men, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin,

rsv@Romans:3:11 @ no one understands, no one seeks for God.

rsv@Romans:3:18 @ "There is no fear of God before their eyes."

rsv@Romans:3:20 @ For no human being will be justified in his sight by works of the law, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

rsv@Romans:3:22 @ the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction;

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

rsv@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say about Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh?

rsv@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

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

rsv@Romans:4:7 @ "Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;

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:4:12 @ 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:4:15 @ For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression.

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:4:23 @ But the words, "it was reckoned to him," were written not for his sake alone,

rsv@Romans:4:24 @ but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him that raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,

rsv@Romans:4:25 @ who was put to death for our trespasses and raised for our justification.

rsv@Romans:5:1 @ Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

rsv@Romans:5:7 @ Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man--though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die.

rsv@Romans:5:8 @ But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

rsv@Romans:5:9 @ Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

rsv@Romans:5:10 @ For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

rsv@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned--

rsv@Romans:5:13 @ sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.

rsv@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.

rsv@Romans:5:16 @ 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:5:18 @ Then as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man's act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men.

rsv@Romans:5:19 @ For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man's obedience many will be made righteous.

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

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

rsv@Romans:6:7 @ For he who has died is freed from 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:6:10 @ The death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God.

rsv@Romans:6:12 @ Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions.

rsv@Romans:6:14 @ For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

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

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:7:7 @ What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet, if it had not been for the law, I should not have known sin. I should not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, "You shall not covet."

rsv@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, finding opportunity in the commandment, deceived me and by it killed me.

rsv@Romans:7:15 @ I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.

rsv@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it.

rsv@Romans:7:19 @ For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do.

rsv@Romans:7:22 @ For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self,

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:8:7 @ 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:8:13 @ for if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.

rsv@Romans:8:14 @ For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

rsv@Romans:8:15 @ For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, "Abba! Father!"

rsv@Romans:8:19 @ For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God;

rsv@Romans:8:20 @ for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope;

rsv@Romans:8:23 @ and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

rsv@Romans:8:24 @ For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?

rsv@Romans:8:25 @ 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:8:31 @ What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us?

rsv@Romans:8:32 @ He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?

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:8:36 @ As it is written, "For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

rsv@Romans:8:38 @ For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

rsv@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen by race.

rsv@Romans:9:5 @ to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ. God who is over all be blessed for ever. Amen.

rsv@Romans:9:6 @ But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel,

rsv@Romans:9:9 @ For this is what the promise said, "About this time I will return and Sarah shall have a son."

rsv@Romans:9:10 @ And not only so, but also when Rebecca had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac,

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:9:19 @ You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?"

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:9:28 @ for the Lord will execute his sentence upon the earth with rigor and dispatch."

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

rsv@Romans:10:2 @ I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened.

rsv@Romans:10:3 @ 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:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the law, that every one who has faith may be justified.

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

rsv@Romans:10:13 @ For, "every one who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved."

rsv@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?"

rsv@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."

rsv@Romans:10:20 @ 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:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Eli'jah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

rsv@Romans:11:4 @ 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:11:9 @ And David says, "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a pitfall and a retribution for them;

rsv@Romans:11:10 @ let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and bend their backs for ever."

rsv@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!

rsv@Romans:11:15 @ For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?

rsv@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

rsv@Romans:11:23 @ And even the others, if they do not persist in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.

rsv@Romans:11:24 @ For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree.

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

rsv@Romans:11:29 @ For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.

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

rsv@Romans:11:34 @ "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"

rsv@Romans:11:36 @ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory for ever. Amen.

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

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

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

rsv@Romans:12:17 @ Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.

rsv@Romans:12:19 @ Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord."

rsv@Romans:12:20 @ No, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head."

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

rsv@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.

rsv@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of him who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval,

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:13:5 @ Therefore one must be subject, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.

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

rsv@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

rsv@Romans:13:10 @ Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

rsv@Romans:13:11 @ Besides this you know what hour it is, how it is full time now for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed;

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

rsv@Romans:14:1 @ As for the man who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not for disputes over opinions.

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

rsv@Romans:14:10 @ 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:14:14 @ 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:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit;

rsv@Romans:14:19 @ Let us then pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.

rsv@Romans:14:20 @ Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for any one to make others fall by what he eats;

rsv@Romans:14:22 @ 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:15:2 @ 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:15:4 @ For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

rsv@Romans:15:7 @ Welcome one another, therefore, as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

rsv@Romans:15:8 @ For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs,

rsv@Romans:15:9 @ 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:15:17 @ In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God.

rsv@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has wrought through me to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed,

rsv@Romans:15:23 @ 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:16:4 @ who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I but also all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks;

rsv@Romans:16:5 @ greet also the church in their house. Greet my beloved Epae'netus, who was the first convert in Asia for Christ.

rsv@Romans:16:7 @ Greet Androni'cus and Ju'nias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners; they are men of note among the apostles, and they were in Christ before me.

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:16:26 @ to the only wise God be glory for evermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.

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:1:7 @ so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ;

rsv@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been reported to me by Chlo'e's people that there is quarreling among you, my brethren.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

rsv@1Corinthians:1:17 @ 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:1:21 @ 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:1:25 @ 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:1:31 @ therefore, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord."

rsv@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,"

rsv@1Corinthians:2:10 @ God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For what person knows a man's thoughts except the spirit of the man which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:14 @ The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:16 @ "For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not ready for it; and even yet you are not ready,

rsv@1Corinthians:3:3 @ for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving like ordinary men?

rsv@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apol'los," are you not merely men?

rsv@1Corinthians:3:9 @ For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

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

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:3:21 @ So let no one boast of men. For all things are yours,

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

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:4:20 @ For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that is not found even among pagans; for a man is living with his father's wife.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For though absent in body I am present in spirit, and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment

rsv@1Corinthians:5:5 @ you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:6:7 @ To have lawsuits at all with one another is defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:12 @ "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:13 @ "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food"--and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!

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:7:1 @ Now concerning the matters about which you wrote. It is well for a man not to touch a woman.

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:7:8 @ To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I do.

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:7:14 @ 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:7:19 @ For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God.

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:7:31 @ 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:7:35 @ 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:8:5 @ For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth--as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"--

rsv@1Corinthians:8:6 @ yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one sees you, a man of knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, might he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols?

rsv@1Corinthians:8:11 @ And so by your knowledge this weak man is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died.

rsv@1Corinthians: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:9:2 @ 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:9:6 @ Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?

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:9:15 @ 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:9:16 @ For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!

rsv@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same supernatural drink. For they drank from the supernatural Rock which followed them, and the Rock was Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:5 @ Nevertheless with most of them God was not pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things are warnings for us, not to desire evil as they did.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things happened to them as a warning, but they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the end of the ages has come.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:12 @ Therefore let any one who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:14 @ Therefore, my beloved, shun the worship of idols.

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:10:26 @ For "the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."

rsv@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:28 @ (But if some one says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then out of consideration for the man who informed you, and for conscience' sake--

rsv@1Corinthians:10:29 @ I mean his conscience, not yours--do not eat it.) For why should my liberty be determined by another man's scruples?

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

rsv@1Corinthians: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:11:7 @ For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:8 @ (For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:9 @ Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.)

rsv@1Corinthians:11:12 @ for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.)

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:11:15 @ but if a woman has long hair, it is her pride? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

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:11:21 @ For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal, and one is hungry and another is drunk.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,

rsv@1Corinthians:11:24 @ and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:33 @ So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another--

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

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:12:7 @ To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--Jews or Greeks, slaves or free--and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body does not consist of one member but of many.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:9 @ For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;

rsv@1Corinthians:13:12 @ 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:14:2 @ For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:3 @ On the other hand, he who prophesies speaks to men for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:8 @ And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle?

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:14:11 @ but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.

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:14:13 @ Therefore, he who speaks in a tongue should pray for the power to interpret.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:14 @ For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:14:21 @ In the law it is written, "By men of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord."

rsv@1Corinthians:14:22 @ Thus, tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is not for unbelievers but for believers.

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:14:26 @ What then, brethren? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:14:33 @ For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

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

rsv@1Corinthians:14:35 @ If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:39 @ So, my brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues;

rsv@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures,

rsv@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:25 @ For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:32 @ 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:15:34 @ Come to your right mind, and sin no more. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:39 @ For not all flesh is alike, but there is one kind for men, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:41 @ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:53 @ For this perishable nature must put on the imperishable, and this mortal nature must put on immortality.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the contribution for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:5 @ I will visit you after passing through Macedo'nia, for I intend to pass through Macedo'nia,

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:16:9 @ for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

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:16:12 @ As for our brother Apol'los, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brethren, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I rejoice at the coming of Steph'anas and Fortuna'tus and Acha'icus, because they have made up for your absence;

rsv@1Corinthians:16:18 @ for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such men.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If any one has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!

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

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

rsv@2Corinthians:1:5 @ For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:6 @ If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:7 @ Our hope for you is unshaken; for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience that we have behaved in the world, and still more toward you, with holiness and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we write you nothing but what you can read and understand; I hope you will understand fully,

rsv@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we preached among you, Silva'nus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No; but in him it is always Yes.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:20 @ 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:1:24 @ Not that we lord it over your faith; we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm in your faith.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:1 @ For I made up my mind not to make you another painful visit.

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:2:6 @ For such a one this punishment by the majority is enough;

rsv@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:8 @ So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:10 @ 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:2:11 @ to keep Satan from gaining the advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his designs.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:12 @ When I came to Tro'as to preach the gospel of Christ, a door was opened for me in the Lord;

rsv@2Corinthians:2:15 @ 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:2:17 @ For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word; but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not in a written code but in the Spirit; for the written code kills, but the Spirit gives life.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if there was splendor in the dispensation of condemnation, the dispensation of righteousness must far exceed it in splendor.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what faded away came with splendor, what is permanent must have much more splendor.

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

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

rsv@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.

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:4:6 @ For it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:9 @ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

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

rsv@2Corinthians:4:15 @ 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:4:17 @ For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,

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:5:4 @ For while we are still in this tent, we sigh with anxiety; not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:5 @ He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:7 @ for we walk by faith, not by sight.

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:5:11 @ Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience.

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:5:16 @ From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a human point of view, we regard him thus no longer.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:17 @ Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:20 @ 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:5:21 @ For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he says, "At the acceptable time I have listened to you, and helped you on the day of salvation." Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:6 @ by purity, knowledge, forbearance, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love,

rsv@2Corinthians:6:7 @ truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;

rsv@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be mismated with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

rsv@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

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:7:3 @ I do not say this to condemn you, for I said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:4 @ I have great confidence in you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with comfort. With all our affliction, I am overjoyed.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For even when we came into Macedo'nia, our bodies had no rest but we were afflicted at every turn--fighting without and fear within.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:6 @ But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

rsv@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it (though I did regret it), for I see that that letter grieved you, though only for a while.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:9 @ As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting; for you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly grief produces death.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves guiltless in the matter.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we are comforted. And besides our own comfort we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his mind has been set at rest by you all.

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

rsv@2Corinthians: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:8:3 @ For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own free will,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:4 @ begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints--

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:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And in this matter I give my advice: it is best for you now to complete what a year ago you began not only to do but to desire,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he has not.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:8:21 @ for we aim at what is honorable not only in the Lord's sight but also in the sight of men.

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:9:1 @ Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the offering for the saints,

rsv@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the people of Macedo'nia, saying that Acha'ia has been ready since last year; and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if some Macedo'nians come with me and find that you are not ready, we be humiliated--to say nothing of you--for being so confident.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written, "He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever."

rsv@2Corinthians:9:10 @ He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:9:12 @ 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:9:15 @ Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

rsv@2Corinthians:10:3 @ For though we live in the world we are not carrying on a worldly war,

rsv@2Corinthians:10:4 @ for the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

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:10:8 @ For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I shall not be put to shame.

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:10:14 @ 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:10:18 @ 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:11:4 @ For if some one comes and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you submit to it readily enough.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and was in want, I did not burden any one, for my needs were supplied by the brethren who came from Macedo'nia. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:13 @ 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:11:19 @ For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves!

rsv@2Corinthians:11:20 @ For you bear it if a man makes slaves of you, or preys upon you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:21 @ To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever any one dares to boast of--I am speaking as a fool--I also dare to boast of that.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:24 @ Five times I have received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:28 @ And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure upon me of my anxiety for all the churches.

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: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:12:9 @ 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:12:12 @ The signs of a true apostle were performed among you in all patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For in what were you less favored than the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong!

rsv@2Corinthians:12:14 @ 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:12:15 @ I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you the more, am I to be loved the less?

rsv@2Corinthians:12:19 @ 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:13:2 @ I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them--

rsv@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we are weak in him, but in dealing with you we shall live with him by the power of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:9 @ For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. What we pray for is your improvement.

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:1:4 @ 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:1:5 @ to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@Galatians:1:9 @ As we have said before, so now I say again, If any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed.

rsv@Galatians:1:11 @ For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not man's gospel.

rsv@Galatians:1:12 @ For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus 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:1:14 @ and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.

rsv@Galatians:1:15 @ But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace,

rsv@Galatians:1:17 @ 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:1:20 @ (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!)

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:2:5 @ to them we did not yield submission even for a moment, that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.

rsv@Galatians:2:8 @ (for he who worked through Peter for the mission to the circumcised worked through me also for the Gentiles),

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:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

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

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

rsv@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification were through the law, then Christ died to no purpose.

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

rsv@Galatians:3:8 @ 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:3:10 @ For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them."

rsv@Galatians:3:11 @ Now it is evident that no man is justified before God by the law; for "He who through faith is righteous shall live";

rsv@Galatians:3:12 @ but the law does not rest on faith, for "He who does them shall live by 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:3:18 @ 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:3:21 @ 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:3:23 @ Now before faith came, we were confined under the law, kept under restraint until faith should be revealed.

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

rsv@Galatians:3:27 @ For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

rsv@Galatians:3:28 @ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

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:4:8 @ Formerly, when you did not know God, you were in bondage to beings that by nature are no gods;

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

rsv@Galatians:4:17 @ 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:4:19 @ My little children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you!

rsv@Galatians:4:20 @ I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

rsv@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave and one by a free woman.

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:4:27 @ For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and shout, you who are not in travail; for the children of the desolate one are many more than the children of her that is married."

rsv@Galatians:4:30 @ But what does the scripture say? "Cast out the slave and her son; for the son of the slave shall not inherit with the son of the free woman."

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

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

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:5:19 @ Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness,

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:6:3 @ For if any one thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

rsv@Galatians:6:5 @ For each man will have to bear his own load.

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

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

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:6:12 @ It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

rsv@Galatians:6:13 @ For even those who receive circumcision do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh.

rsv@Galatians:6:15 @ For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

rsv@Galatians:6:17 @ Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

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:1:7 @ 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:1:10 @ as a plan for the fulness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

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:1:15 @ 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:1:22 @ and he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church,

rsv@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God--

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

rsv@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called the uncircumcision by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands--

rsv@Ephesians:2:14 @ For he is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility,

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

rsv@Ephesians:2:22 @ in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

rsv@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles--

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

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:3:13 @ So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.

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

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

rsv@Ephesians:4:1 @ I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,

rsv@Ephesians:4:2 @ with all lowliness and meekness, with patience, forbearing one another in love,

rsv@Ephesians:4:8 @ Therefore it is said, "When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men."

rsv@Ephesians:4:12 @ to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

rsv@Ephesians:4:22 @ Put off your old nature which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful lusts,

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:4:29 @ Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for edifying, as fits the occasion, that it may impart grace to those who hear.

rsv@Ephesians:4:30 @ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

rsv@Ephesians:4:32 @ and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

rsv@Ephesians:5:1 @ Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.

rsv@Ephesians:5:2 @ And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

rsv@Ephesians:5:3 @ But fornication and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is fitting among saints.

rsv@Ephesians:5:5 @ Be sure of this, that no fornicator or impure man, or one who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of 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:5:7 @ Therefore do not associate with them,

rsv@Ephesians:5:8 @ for once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light

rsv@Ephesians:5:9 @ (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true),

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:5:17 @ Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

rsv@Ephesians:5:18 @ And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,

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

rsv@Ephesians:5:21 @ Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.

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:5:29 @ For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church,

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

rsv@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

rsv@Ephesians:6:9 @ Masters, do the same to them, and forbear threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.

rsv@Ephesians:6:12 @ For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

rsv@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

rsv@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

rsv@Ephesians:6:18 @ Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

rsv@Ephesians:6:19 @ and also for me, that utterance may be given me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel,

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

rsv@Ephesians:6:22 @ I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.

rsv@Philippians:1:4 @ always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy,

rsv@Philippians:1:5 @ thankful for your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.

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:1:8 @ For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

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

rsv@Philippians:1:13 @ so that it has become known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ;

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:1:17 @ the former proclaim Christ out of partisanship, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment.

rsv@Philippians:1:19 @ Yes, and I shall rejoice. For I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance,

rsv@Philippians:1:21 @ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

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:1:25 @ Convinced of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

rsv@Philippians:1:27 @ 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:1:29 @ For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake,

rsv@Philippians:2:6 @ who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

rsv@Philippians:2:7 @ but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

rsv@Philippians:2:8 @ And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.

rsv@Philippians:2:9 @ Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,

rsv@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

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

rsv@Philippians:2:20 @ I have no one like him, who will be genuinely anxious for your welfare.

rsv@Philippians:2:23 @ I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me;

rsv@Philippians:2:26 @ 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:3:1 @ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is not irksome to me, and is safe for you.

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:3:3 @ For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in 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:3:7 @ But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

rsv@Philippians:3:8 @ Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, in order that I may gain Christ

rsv@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

rsv@Philippians:3:14 @ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

rsv@Philippians:3:18 @ For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

rsv@Philippians:4:1 @ Therefore, my brethren, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.

rsv@Philippians:4:3 @ And I ask you also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

rsv@Philippians:4:5 @ Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand.

rsv@Philippians:4:10 @ I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me; you were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity.

rsv@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content.

rsv@Philippians:4:16 @ for even in Thessaloni'ca you sent me help once and again.

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

rsv@Colossians:1:3 @ We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,

rsv@Colossians:1:4 @ because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have for all the saints,

rsv@Colossians:1:5 @ because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel

rsv@Colossians:1:9 @ And so, from the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

rsv@Colossians:1:11 @ May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy,

rsv@Colossians:1:14 @ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

rsv@Colossians:1:16 @ for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities--all things were created through him and for him.

rsv@Colossians:1:17 @ He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

rsv@Colossians:1:19 @ For in him all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell,

rsv@Colossians:1:22 @ he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him,

rsv@Colossians:1:24 @ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church,

rsv@Colossians:1:25 @ of which I became a minister according to the divine office which was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,

rsv@Colossians:1:26 @ the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now made manifest to his saints.

rsv@Colossians:1:29 @ For this I toil, striving with all the energy which he mightily inspires within me.

rsv@Colossians:2:1 @ For I want you to know how greatly I strive for you, and for those at La-odice'a, and for all who have not seen my face,

rsv@Colossians:2:5 @ For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.

rsv@Colossians:2:6 @ As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him,

rsv@Colossians:2:9 @ For in him the whole fulness of deity dwells bodily,

rsv@Colossians:2:13 @ And you, who were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

rsv@Colossians:2:16 @ Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath.

rsv@Colossians:3:3 @ For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

rsv@Colossians:3:5 @ Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

rsv@Colossians:3:13 @ forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

rsv@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

rsv@Colossians:3:25 @ For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

rsv@Colossians:4:3 @ and pray for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison,

rsv@Colossians:4:8 @ I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts,

rsv@Colossians:4:11 @ and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

rsv@Colossians:4:13 @ For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in La-odice'a and in Hi-erap'olis.

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We give thanks to God always for you all, constantly mentioning you in our prayers,

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ For we know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you;

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ for our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedo'nia and Acha'ia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything.

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For they themselves report concerning us what a welcome we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brethren, that our visit to you was not in vain;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our appeal does not spring from error or uncleanness, nor is it made with guile;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For we never used either words of flattery, as you know, or a cloak for greed, as God is witness;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember our labor and toil, brethren; we worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you, while we preached to you the gospel of God.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ for you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea; for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But since we were bereft of you, brethren, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ For you are our glory and joy.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left behind at Athens alone,

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction; just as it has come to pass, and as you know.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent that I might know your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and that our labor would be in vain.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith;

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ for now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you, for all the joy which we feel for your sake before our God,

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ so that he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from unchastity;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ that each one of you know how to take a wife for himself in holiness and honor,

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we solemnly forewarned you.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ For God has not called us for uncleanness, but in holiness.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ But concerning love of the brethren you have no need to have any one write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ 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:5:2 @ For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to surprise you like a thief.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness.

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

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

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us so that whether we wake or sleep we might live with him.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:22 @ abstain from every form of evil.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:25 @ Brethren, pray for us.

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

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ Therefore we ourselves boast of you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you are enduring.

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be made worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering--

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his call, and may fulfil every good resolve and work of faith by his power,

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition,

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and with all wicked deception for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false,

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

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed on and triumph, as it did among you,

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not all have faith.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you,

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: If any one will not work, let him not eat.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that some of you are living in idleness, mere busybodies, not doing any work.

rsv@1Timothy:1:9 @ understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

rsv@1Timothy:1:12 @ I thank him who has given me strength for this, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful by appointing me to his service,

rsv@1Timothy:1:13 @ though I formerly blasphemed and persecuted and insulted him; but I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,

rsv@1Timothy:1:14 @ and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

rsv@1Timothy:1:15 @ The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And I am the foremost of sinners;

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

rsv@1Timothy:1:17 @ To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

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

rsv@1Timothy:2:2 @ for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way.

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

rsv@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony to which was borne at the proper time.

rsv@1Timothy:2:7 @ For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

rsv@1Timothy:2:13 @ For Adam was formed first, then Eve;

rsv@1Timothy:3:5 @ for if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for God's church?

rsv@1Timothy:3:8 @ Deacons likewise must be serious, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for gain;

rsv@1Timothy:3:13 @ for those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

rsv@1Timothy:4:3 @ who forbid marriage and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

rsv@1Timothy:4:4 @ For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving;

rsv@1Timothy:4:5 @ for then it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

rsv@1Timothy:4:6 @ If you put these instructions before the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

rsv@1Timothy:4:8 @ for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

rsv@1Timothy:4:10 @ For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

rsv@1Timothy:4:16 @ Take heed to yourself and to your teaching; hold to that, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.

rsv@1Timothy:5:4 @ If a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn their religious duty to their own family and make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

rsv@1Timothy:5:8 @ If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

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

rsv@1Timothy:5:11 @ But refuse to enrol younger widows; for when they grow wanton against Christ they desire to marry,

rsv@1Timothy:5:12 @ and so they incur condemnation for having violated their first pledge.

rsv@1Timothy:5:15 @ For some have already strayed after Satan.

rsv@1Timothy:5:18 @ for the scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain," and, "The laborer deserves his wages."

rsv@1Timothy:5:20 @ As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.

rsv@1Timothy:5:23 @ No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

rsv@1Timothy:6:4 @ he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions,

rsv@1Timothy:6:7 @ for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world;

rsv@1Timothy:6:10 @ For the love of money is the root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced their hearts with many pangs.

rsv@1Timothy:6:11 @ But as for you, man of God, shun all this; aim at righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.

rsv@1Timothy:6:13 @ In the presence of God who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession,

rsv@1Timothy:6:17 @ As for the rich in this world, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on uncertain riches but on God who richly furnishes us with everything to enjoy.

rsv@1Timothy:6:19 @ thus laying up for themselves a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life which is life indeed.

rsv@1Timothy:6:21 @ for by professing it some have missed the mark as regards the faith. Grace be with you.

rsv@2Timothy:1:7 @ for God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control.

rsv@2Timothy:1:8 @ Do not be ashamed then of testifying to our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel in the power of God,

rsv@2Timothy:1:11 @ For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher,

rsv@2Timothy:1:12 @ and therefore I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.

rsv@2Timothy:1:16 @ May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiph'orus, for he often refreshed me; he was not ashamed of my chains,

rsv@2Timothy:1:17 @ but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me eagerly and found me--

rsv@2Timothy:2:2 @ and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

rsv@2Timothy:2:13 @ if we are faithless, he remains faithful-- for he cannot deny himself.

rsv@2Timothy:2:14 @ Remind them of this, and charge them before the Lord to avoid disputing about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.

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

rsv@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and earthenware, and some for noble use, some for ignoble.

rsv@2Timothy:2:21 @ If any one purifies himself from what is ignoble, then he will be a vessel for noble use, consecrated and useful to the master of the house, ready for any good work.

rsv@2Timothy:2:24 @ And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kindly to every one, an apt teacher, forbearing,

rsv@2Timothy:3:2 @ For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

rsv@2Timothy:3:5 @ holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people.

rsv@2Timothy:3:6 @ For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses,

rsv@2Timothy:3:9 @ but they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

rsv@2Timothy:3:14 @ But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it

rsv@2Timothy:3:15 @ and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

rsv@2Timothy:3:16 @ All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

rsv@2Timothy:3:17 @ that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

rsv@2Timothy:4:3 @ For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings,

rsv@2Timothy:4:5 @ As for you, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry.

rsv@2Timothy:4:6 @ For I am already on the point of being sacrificed; the time of my departure has come.

rsv@2Timothy:4:8 @ Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

rsv@2Timothy:4:10 @ For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessaloni'ca; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

rsv@2Timothy:4:11 @ Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you; for he is very useful in serving me.

rsv@2Timothy:4:14 @ Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will requite him for his deeds.

rsv@2Timothy:4:15 @ Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message.

rsv@2Timothy:4:18 @ The Lord will rescue me from every evil and save me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@2Timothy:4:21 @ Do your best to come before winter. Eubu'lus sends greetings to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.

rsv@Titus:1:7 @ For a bishop, as God's steward, must be blameless; he must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain,

rsv@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many insubordinate men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially the circumcision party;

rsv@Titus:1:11 @ they must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for base gain what they have no right to teach.

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

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

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

rsv@Titus:2:11 @ For the grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all men,

rsv@Titus:2:14 @ who gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and to purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds.

rsv@Titus:3:1 @ Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for any honest work,

rsv@Titus:3:3 @ For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another;

rsv@Titus:3:9 @ But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over the law, for they are unprofitable and futile.

rsv@Titus:3:10 @ As for a man who is factious, after admonishing him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him,

rsv@Titus:3:12 @ When I send Artemas or Tych'icus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicop'olis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

rsv@Philemon:1:1 @ Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Phile'mon our beloved fellow worker

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

rsv@Philemon:1:9 @ yet for love's sake I prefer to appeal to you--I, Paul, an ambassador and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus--

rsv@Philemon:1:10 @ I appeal to you for my child, Ones'imus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment.

rsv@Philemon:1:11 @ (Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.)

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

rsv@Philemon:1:15 @ Perhaps this is why he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back for ever,

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

rsv@Hebrews:1:3 @ He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the universe by his word of power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

rsv@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to what angel did God ever say, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee"? Or again, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"?

rsv@Hebrews:1:8 @ But of the Son he says, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever, the righteous scepter is the scepter of thy kingdom.

rsv@Hebrews:1:9 @ Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy comrades."

rsv@Hebrews:1:13 @ But to what angel has he ever said, "Sit at my right hand, till I make thy enemies a stool for thy feet"?

rsv@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation?

rsv@Hebrews:2:1 @ Therefore we must pay the closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.

rsv@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message declared by angels was valid and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution,

rsv@Hebrews:2:5 @ For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking.

rsv@Hebrews:2:6 @ It has been testified somewhere, "What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou carest for him?

rsv@Hebrews:2:7 @ Thou didst make him for a little while lower than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honor,

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

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

rsv@Hebrews:2:11 @ For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have all one origin. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

rsv@Hebrews:2:14 @ 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:2:16 @ For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned but with the descendants of Abraham.

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:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

rsv@Hebrews:3:4 @ (For every house is built by some one, but the builder of all things is God.)

rsv@Hebrews:3:7 @ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Today, when you hear his voice,

rsv@Hebrews:3:9 @ where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years.

rsv@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, `They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known my ways.'

rsv@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end,

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: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:4:3 @ For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, `They shall never enter my rest,'" although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.

rsv@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works."

rsv@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience,

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

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

rsv@Hebrews:4:10 @ for whoever enters God's rest also ceases from his labors as God did from his.

rsv@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, that no one fall by the same sort of disobedience.

rsv@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

rsv@Hebrews:4:13 @ And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

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:5:3 @ Because of this he is bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people.

rsv@Hebrews:5:6 @ as he says also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz'edek."

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

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

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

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

rsv@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

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:6:10 @ 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:6:13 @ For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,

rsv@Hebrews:6:16 @ Men indeed swear by a greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.

rsv@Hebrews:6:18 @ so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible that God should prove false, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us.

rsv@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchiz'edek.

rsv@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this Melchiz'edek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him;

rsv@Hebrews:7:3 @ 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:7:10 @ for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchiz'edek met him.

rsv@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levit'ical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchiz'edek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron?

rsv@Hebrews:7:12 @ For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well.

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:7:17 @ 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:7:19 @ (for the law made nothing perfect); on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

rsv@Hebrews:7:21 @ Those who formerly became priests took their office without an oath, but this one was addressed with an oath, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, `Thou art a priest for ever.'"

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

rsv@Hebrews:7:24 @ 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:7:28 @ Indeed, the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect for ever.

rsv@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.

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

rsv@Hebrews:8:7 @ 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:8:9 @ not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they did not continue in my covenant, and so I paid no heed to them, says the Lord.

rsv@Hebrews:8:11 @ And they shall not teach every one his fellow or every one his brother, saying, `Know the Lord,' for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest.

rsv@Hebrews:8:12 @ For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more."

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

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:9:6 @ 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:9:13 @ For if the sprinkling of defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a heifer sanctifies for the purification of the flesh,

rsv@Hebrews:9:15 @ Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred which redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant.

rsv@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.

rsv@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.

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:9:22 @ Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

rsv@Hebrews:9:23 @ Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

rsv@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ has entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

rsv@Hebrews:9:26 @ for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

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

rsv@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

rsv@Hebrews:10:1 @ For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near.

rsv@Hebrews:10:4 @ For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

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

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

rsv@Hebrews:10:13 @ then to wait until his enemies should be made a stool for his feet.

rsv@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

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

rsv@Hebrews:10:18 @ Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

rsv@Hebrews:10:19 @ Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

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

rsv@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful;

rsv@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

rsv@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay." And again, "The Lord will judge his people."

rsv@Hebrews:10:32 @ But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings,

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

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:10:37 @ "For yet a little while, and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry;

rsv@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

rsv@Hebrews:11:2 @ For by it the men of old received divine approval.

rsv@Hebrews:11:5 @ 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:11:12 @ 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:11:14 @ For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.

rsv@Hebrews:11:16 @ But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

rsv@Hebrews:11:23 @ 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:11:26 @ 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:11:30 @ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.

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

rsv@Hebrews:11:33 @ who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, received promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

rsv@Hebrews:11:34 @ quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.

rsv@Hebrews:11:40 @ 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:12:5 @ 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:12:7 @ It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

rsv@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they disciplined us for a short time at their pleasure, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.

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

rsv@Hebrews:12:12 @ Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,

rsv@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.

rsv@Hebrews:12:14 @ Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

rsv@Hebrews:12:16 @ that no one be immoral or irreligious like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.

rsv@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.

rsv@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire, and darkness, and gloom, and a tempest,

rsv@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not endure the order that was given, "If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned."

rsv@Hebrews:12:25 @ 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:12:28 @ Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe;

rsv@Hebrews:12:29 @ for our God is a consuming fire.

rsv@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

rsv@Hebrews:13:4 @ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and adulterous.

rsv@Hebrews:13:5 @ Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, "I will never fail you nor forsake you."

rsv@Hebrews:13:8 @ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.

rsv@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings; for it is well that the heart be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited their adherents.

rsv@Hebrews:13:11 @ For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp.

rsv@Hebrews:13:13 @ 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:13:16 @ Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

rsv@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this joyfully, and not sadly, for that would be of no advantage to you.

rsv@Hebrews:13:18 @ Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.

rsv@Hebrews:13:21 @ equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in you that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@James:1:3 @ for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

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:1:11 @ 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:1:15 @ Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin; and sin when it is full-grown brings forth death.

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

rsv@James:1:20 @ for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.

rsv@James:1:21 @ Therefore put away all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

rsv@James:1:23 @ 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:2:10 @ For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.

rsv@James:2:11 @ For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," said also, "Do not kill." If you do not commit adultery but do kill, you have become a transgressor of the law.

rsv@James:2:13 @ For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy; yet mercy triumphs over judgment.

rsv@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit?

rsv@James:2:26 @ For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.

rsv@James:3:1 @ Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach shall be judged with greater strictness.

rsv@James:3:2 @ For we all make many mistakes, and if any one makes no mistakes in what he says he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

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

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

rsv@James:5:7 @ Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it until it receives the early and the late rain.

rsv@James:5:8 @ You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

rsv@James:5:14 @ Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

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

rsv@James:5:16 @ Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects.

rsv@James:5:17 @ Eli'jah was a man of like nature with ourselves and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth.

rsv@1Peter:2:20 @ For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you take it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you take it patiently, you have God's approval.

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

rsv@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

rsv@1Peter:3:9 @ Do not return evil for evil or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing.

rsv@1Peter:3:12 @ 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:3:13 @ Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is right?

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

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

rsv@1Peter: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:4:2 @ so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer by human passions but by the will of God.

rsv@1Peter:4:3 @ Let the time that is past suffice for doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in licentiousness, passions, drunkenness, revels, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

rsv@1Peter:4:6 @ For this is why the gospel was preached even to the dead, that though judged in the flesh like men, they might live in the spirit like God.

rsv@1Peter:4:7 @ The end of all things is at hand; therefore keep sane and sober for your prayers.

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

rsv@1Peter:4:10 @ As each has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:

rsv@1Peter:4:11 @ whoever speaks, as one who utters oracles of God; whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength which God supplies; in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@1Peter:4:14 @ 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:5:2 @ Tend the flock of God that is your charge, not by constraint but willingly, not for shameful gain but eagerly,

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:5:7 @ Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares about you.

rsv@1Peter:5:11 @ To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@2Peter:1:5 @ For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,

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:1:10 @ Therefore, brethren, be the more zealous to confirm your call and election, for if you do this you will never fall;

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

rsv@2Peter:1:12 @ Therefore I intend always to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.

rsv@2Peter:1:16 @ 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:1:18 @ we heard this voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.

rsv@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of nether gloom to be kept until the judgment;

rsv@2Peter:2:8 @ (for by what that righteous man saw and heard as he lived among them, he was vexed in his righteous soul day after day with their lawless deeds),

rsv@2Peter:2:11 @ whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a reviling judgment upon them before the Lord.

rsv@2Peter:2:13 @ suffering wrong for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their dissipation, carousing with you.

rsv@2Peter:2:14 @ They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!

rsv@2Peter:2:15 @ Forsaking the right way they have gone astray; they have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Be'or, who loved gain from wrongdoing,

rsv@2Peter:2:16 @ but was rebuked for his own transgression; a dumb ass spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.

rsv@2Peter:2:17 @ These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm; for them the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved.

rsv@2Peter:2:18 @ For, uttering loud boasts of folly, they entice with licentious passions of the flesh men who have barely escaped from those who live in error.

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

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

rsv@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

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

rsv@2Peter:3:5 @ They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water and by means of water,

rsv@2Peter:3:7 @ But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

rsv@2Peter:3:9 @ 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:3:12 @ 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:3:15 @ And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,

rsv@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability.

rsv@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:2:2 @ and he is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

rsv@1John:2:5 @ but whoever keeps his word, in him truly love for God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him:

rsv@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother abides in the light, and in it there is no cause for stumbling.

rsv@1John:2:12 @ I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his sake.

rsv@1John:2:15 @ Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.

rsv@1John:2:16 @ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world.

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:2:18 @ Children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come; therefore we know that it is the last hour.

rsv@1John:2:19 @ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out, that it might be plain that they all are not of us.

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

rsv@1John:3:9 @ 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:3:11 @ For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

rsv@1John:3:16 @ By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

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

rsv@1John:3:20 @ whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

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

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:4:4 @ Little children, you are of God, and have overcome them; for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

rsv@1John:4:5 @ They are of the world, therefore what they say is of the world, and the world listens to them.

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

rsv@1John:4:8 @ He who does not love does not know God; for God is love.

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:4:16 @ So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

rsv@1John:4:17 @ In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.

rsv@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love.

rsv@1John:4:20 @ 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:5:3 @ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

rsv@1John:5:4 @ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.

rsv@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has borne witness 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@2John:1:2 @ because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us for ever:

rsv@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.

rsv@2John:1:8 @ Look to yourselves, that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward.

rsv@2John:1:11 @ for he who greets him shares his wicked work.

rsv@3John:1:3 @ For I greatly rejoiced when some of the brethren arrived and testified to the truth of your life, as indeed you do follow the truth.

rsv@3John:1:6 @ 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@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:1:3 @ Beloved, being very eager to write to you of our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

rsv@Jude:1:4 @ For admission has been secretly gained by some who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

rsv@Jude:1:5 @ Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

rsv@Jude:1:11 @ 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:1:13 @ 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:1:21 @ 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@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and for ever. Amen.

rsv@Revelation:1:3 @ Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near.

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

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

rsv@Revelation:1:18 @ and the living one; I died, and behold I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

rsv@Revelation:1:20 @ As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

rsv@Revelation:2:3 @ I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary.

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

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

rsv@Revelation:3:2 @ Awake, and strengthen what remains and is on the point of death, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God.

rsv@Revelation:3:4 @ Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

rsv@Revelation:3:5 @ He who conquers shall be clad thus in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life; I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

rsv@Revelation:3:8 @ "`I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

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

rsv@Revelation:3:17 @ For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.

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

rsv@Revelation:4:5 @ From the throne issue flashes of lightning, and voices and peals of thunder, and before the throne burn seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God;

rsv@Revelation:4:6 @ and before the throne there is as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And round the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind:

rsv@Revelation:4:9 @ And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives for ever and ever,

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

rsv@Revelation:4:11 @ "Worthy art thou, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou didst create all things, and by thy will they existed and were created."

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

rsv@Revelation:5:9 @ and they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the scroll and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and by thy blood didst ransom men for God from every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

rsv@Revelation:5:13 @ And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all therein, saying, "To him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might for ever and ever!"

rsv@Revelation:6:6 @ and I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not harm oil and wine!"

rsv@Revelation:6:9 @ When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne;

rsv@Revelation:6:10 @ they cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before thou wilt judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?"

rsv@Revelation:6:17 @ for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand before it?"

rsv@Revelation:7:3 @ saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads."

rsv@Revelation:7:4 @ And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand sealed, out of every tribe of the sons of Israel,

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

rsv@Revelation:7:11 @ And all the angels stood round the throne and round the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

rsv@Revelation:7:12 @ saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God for ever and ever! Amen."

rsv@Revelation:7:15 @ Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night within his temple; and he who sits upon the throne will shelter them with his presence.

rsv@Revelation:7:17 @ For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

rsv@Revelation:8:1 @ When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

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

rsv@Revelation:8:3 @ And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne;

rsv@Revelation:8:4 @ and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God.

rsv@Revelation:9:4 @ they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads;

rsv@Revelation:9:5 @ they were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man.

rsv@Revelation:9:7 @ In appearance the locusts were like horses arrayed for battle; on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces,

rsv@Revelation:9:10 @ They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power of hurting men for five months lies in their tails.

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

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

rsv@Revelation:9:19 @ For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; their tails are like serpents, with heads, and by means of them they wound.

rsv@Revelation:10:6 @ and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there should be no more delay,

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

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

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

rsv@Revelation:11:15 @ Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever."

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

rsv@Revelation:11:18 @ The nations raged, but thy wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, for rewarding thy servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear thy name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth."

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

rsv@Revelation:13:10 @ If any one is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if any one slays with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.

rsv@Revelation:13:14 @ and by the signs which it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast, it deceives those who dwell on earth, bidding them make an image for the beast which was wounded by the sword and yet lived;

rsv@Revelation:14:13 @ And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth." "Blessed indeed," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!"

rsv@Revelation:14:15 @ And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat upon the cloud, "Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe."

rsv@Revelation:14:18 @ Then another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Put in your sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe."
