tcent@Matthew:1:2 @ Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,

tcent@Matthew:1:7 @ Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa,

tcent@Matthew:1:8 @ Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah,

tcent@Matthew:1:10 @ Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah,

tcent@Matthew:1:12 @ And after the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,

tcent@Matthew:1:16 @ and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

tcent@Matthew:1:18 @ Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way: when his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.

tcent@Matthew:1:19 @ Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to put her to public shame, was resolved to divorce her quietly.

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

tcent@Matthew:1:24 @ When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took his wife,

tcent@Matthew:2:1 @ Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,

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

tcent@Matthew:2:3 @ When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

tcent@Matthew:2:4 @ And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

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

tcent@Matthew:2:11 @ On coming into the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they fell down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, and of frankincense, and of myrrh.

tcent@Matthew:2:15 @ and remained there until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, »Out of Egypt have I called my son.«

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

tcent@Matthew:2:17 @ Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:

tcent@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee,

tcent@Matthew:2:23 @ and he went and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the Prophets might be fulfilled, »He shall be called a Nazarene.«

tcent@Matthew:3:3 @ For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said,

tcent@Matthew:3:4 @ Now John wore a garment of camel’s hair, and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

tcent@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

tcent@Matthew:3:16 @ And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him.

tcent@Matthew:3:17 @ And behold, a voice from heaven, saying, »This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.«

tcent@Matthew:4:1 @ Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

tcent@Matthew:4:2 @ And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was hungry.

tcent@Matthew:4:14 @ that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

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

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

tcent@Matthew:4:24 @ Then his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought to him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and pains, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

tcent@Matthew:5:13 @ »You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its taste, how shall it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.

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

tcent@Matthew:5:18 @ For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will by any means pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

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

tcent@Matthew:5:21 @ »You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’

tcent@Matthew:5:23 @ Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

tcent@Matthew:5:26 @ Truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny.

tcent@Matthew:5:27 @ »You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’

tcent@Matthew:5:28 @ But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

tcent@Matthew:5:31 @ »It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’

tcent@Matthew:5:32 @ But I say to you that every one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to become an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

tcent@Matthew:5:33 @ »Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’

tcent@Matthew:5:38 @ »You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’

tcent@Matthew:5:40 @ And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.

tcent@Matthew:5:42 @ Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

tcent@Matthew:5:43 @ »You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’

tcent@Matthew:5:48 @ You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

tcent@Matthew:6:2 @ »Thus, when you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

tcent@Matthew:6:7 @ And when you pray, do not use empty repetitions as the Gentiles do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

tcent@Matthew:6:8 @ Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

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

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

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

tcent@Matthew:6:17 @ But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

tcent@Matthew:6:18 @ so that you do not appear to be fasting to men, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

tcent@Matthew:6:19 @ »Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,

tcent@Matthew:6:20 @ but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

tcent@Matthew:6:21 @ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

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

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

tcent@Matthew:6:30 @ Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

tcent@Matthew:6:33 @ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you as well.

tcent@Matthew:7:2 @ For with the same judgment you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

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

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

tcent@Matthew:7:9 @ Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

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

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

tcent@Matthew:7:22 @ On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’

tcent@Matthew:7:27 @ and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell. And great was its fall.«

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

tcent@Matthew:7:29 @ for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

tcent@Matthew:8:3 @ Then Jesus put out his hand and touched him, saying, »I am willing; be clean.« Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

tcent@Matthew:8:4 @ And Jesus said to him, »See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.«

tcent@Matthew:8:5 @ When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help,

tcent@Matthew:8:11 @ I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

tcent@Matthew:8:12 @ But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.«

tcent@Matthew:8:13 @ Then to the centurion Jesus said, »Go; be it done for you as you have believed.« And his servant was healed at that very hour.

tcent@Matthew:8:16 @ When evening had come, they brought to him many who were demon-possessed. And he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.

tcent@Matthew:8:17 @ This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:

tcent@Matthew:8:20 @ And Jesus said to him, »Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.«

tcent@Matthew:8:24 @ And behold, a great storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But he was asleep.

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

tcent@Matthew:8:28 @ When he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.

tcent@Matthew:8:30 @ Now a herd of many swine was feeding at some distance from them.

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

tcent@Matthew:9:3 @ And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, »This man is blaspheming!«

tcent@Matthew:9:5 @ For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?

tcent@Matthew:9:6 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins«—he then said to the paralytic—»Rise, take up your bed and go home.«

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

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

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

tcent@Matthew:9:15 @ And Jesus said to them, »Can the guests of the bridegroom mourn as long as he is with them? The days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

tcent@Matthew:9:18 @ While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came and knelt before him, saying, »My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her and she will live.«

tcent@Matthew:9:22 @ Jesus turned, and when he saw her he said, »Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.« And the woman was made well from that moment.

tcent@Matthew:9:27 @ And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying out, »Have mercy on us, Son of David.«

tcent@Matthew:9:32 @ As they were going out, behold, a mute and demon-possessed man was brought to him.

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

tcent@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees said, »He casts out demons by the prince of demons.«

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

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

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

tcent@Matthew:10:3 @ Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

tcent@Matthew:10:4 @ Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

tcent@Matthew:10:7 @ And preach as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’

tcent@Matthew:10:8 @ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

tcent@Matthew:10:12 @ As you enter the house, give it your greeting.

tcent@Matthew:10:16 @ »Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

tcent@Matthew:10:18 @ You will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

tcent@Matthew:10:24 @ »A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

tcent@Matthew:10:25 @ It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!

tcent@Matthew:11:7 @ As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: »What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

tcent@Matthew:11:11 @ Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

tcent@Matthew:11:12 @ From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and men of violence take it by force.

tcent@Matthew:11:15 @ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

tcent@Matthew:11:18 @ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

tcent@Matthew:11:21 @ »Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

tcent@Matthew:11:26 @ Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.

tcent@Matthew:11:30 @ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.«

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

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

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

tcent@Matthew:12:11 @ He said to them, »What man of you, if he has one sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

tcent@Matthew:12:13 @ Then he said to the man, »Stretch out your hand.« And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.

tcent@Matthew:12:17 @ This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:

tcent@Matthew:12:22 @ Then they brought to him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and he healed him, so that the mute man both spoke and saw.

tcent@Matthew:12:25 @ Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, »Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

tcent@Matthew:12:26 @ If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

tcent@Matthew:12:27 @ And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

tcent@Matthew:12:28 @ But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

tcent@Matthew:12:31 @ Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

tcent@Matthew:12:35 @ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

tcent@Matthew:12:40 @ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

tcent@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.«

tcent@Matthew:12:46 @ While he was still talking to the people, behold, his mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.

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

tcent@Matthew:13:6 @ But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.

tcent@Matthew:13:9 @ He who has ears, let him hear.«

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

tcent@Matthew:13:12 @ For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

tcent@Matthew:13:19 @ when anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

tcent@Matthew:13:21 @ yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. And when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.

tcent@Matthew:13:27 @ And the servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?’

tcent@Matthew:13:28 @ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them up?’

tcent@Matthew:13:32 @ it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.«

tcent@Matthew:13:33 @ He told them another parable: »The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour till it was all leavened.«

tcent@Matthew:13:35 @ So was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet:

tcent@Matthew:13:40 @ Therefore as the weeds are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

tcent@Matthew:13:42 @ and will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

tcent@Matthew:13:43 @ Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

tcent@Matthew:13:44 @ »Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and then in his joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

tcent@Matthew:13:47 @ »Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind;

tcent@Matthew:13:48 @ which, when it was full, they drew it up on the shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away.

tcent@Matthew:13:50 @ and throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.«

tcent@Matthew:13:51 @ Jesus asked, »Have you understood all these things?« »Yes,« they said to him.

tcent@Matthew:13:52 @ And he said to them, »Therefore every scribe who has been instructed for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.«

tcent@Matthew:13:54 @ And coming to his own country he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, »Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

tcent@Matthew:13:55 @ Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

tcent@Matthew:14:2 @ and he said to his servants, »This is John the Baptist, he has risen from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him.«

tcent@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

tcent@Matthew:14:6 @ But when Herod’s birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod,

tcent@Matthew:14:7 @ so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.

tcent@Matthew:14:9 @ And the king was sorry; but, because of his oaths and his guests, he commanded it to be given to her;

tcent@Matthew:14:11 @ And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

tcent@Matthew:14:14 @ When Jesus went ashore he saw a great throng; and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.

tcent@Matthew:14:15 @ When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, »This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.«

tcent@Matthew:14:19 @ Then he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave them to the multitudes.

tcent@Matthew:14:20 @ And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

tcent@Matthew:14:23 @ And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,

tcent@Matthew:14:24 @ but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land, beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them.

tcent@Matthew:14:30 @ But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, »Lord, save me!«

tcent@Matthew:14:32 @ And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

tcent@Matthew:14:36 @ and begged him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.

tcent@Matthew:15:2 @ »Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.«

tcent@Matthew:15:13 @ He answered, »Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.

tcent@Matthew:15:20 @ These are what defile a man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.«

tcent@Matthew:15:24 @ He answered, »I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.«

tcent@Matthew:15:27 @ »Yes, Lord,« she said, »yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.«

tcent@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus answered her, »O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.« And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

tcent@Matthew:15:29 @ And Jesus went on from there and passed along the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain, and sat down there.

tcent@Matthew:15:32 @ Now Jesus called his disciples to him and said, »I have compassion on the multitude, because they have been with me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.«

tcent@Matthew:15:37 @ And they all ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

tcent@Matthew:16:1 @ Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

tcent@Matthew:16:9 @ Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?

tcent@Matthew:16:10 @ Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?

tcent@Matthew:16:13 @ When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, »Who do men say that the Son of Man is?«

tcent@Matthew:16:17 @ And Jesus answered him, »Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:16:20 @ Then he strictly charged his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

tcent@Matthew:16:22 @ Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him saying, »Never, Lord! This shall never happen to you!«

tcent@Matthew:16:27 @ For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will reward each man according to what he has done.

tcent@Matthew:16:28 @ Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.«

tcent@Mark:1:41 @ And Jesus, moved with compassion, put out his hand and touched him, and said to him, »I am willing; be clean.«

tcent@Mark:1:42 @ And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.

tcent@Mark:1:44 @ and he said to him, »See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.«

tcent@Mark:1:45 @ But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was outside in the deserted places; and people came to him from every quarter.

tcent@Mark:2:1 @ And when he entered Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was home.

tcent@Mark:2:2 @ And many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And he preached the word to them.

tcent@Mark:2:4 @ And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above him; and when they had broken through, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

tcent@Mark:2:6 @ Now some of the scribes were sitting there, reasoning in their hearts,

tcent@Mark:2:7 @ »Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?«

tcent@Mark:2:8 @ And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, he said to them, »Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?

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

tcent@Mark:2:10 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins«—he said to the paralytic,

tcent@Mark:2:14 @ As he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, »Follow me.« So he rose and followed him.

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

tcent@Mark:2:18 @ Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, »Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?«

tcent@Mark:2:19 @ And Jesus said to them, »Can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

tcent@Mark:2:20 @ But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

tcent@Mark:2:23 @ One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain.

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

tcent@Mark:2:27 @ And he said to them, »The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

tcent@Mark:3:1 @ He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand.

tcent@Mark:3:5 @ And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, »Stretch out your hand.« He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

tcent@Mark:3:8 @ and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan and from around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how many things he was doing, came to him.

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

tcent@Mark:3:15 @ and to have authority to cast out the demons:

tcent@Mark:3:18 @ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot;

tcent@Mark:3:19 @ and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

tcent@Mark:3:22 @ And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, »He is possessed by Beelzebub, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.«

tcent@Mark:3:23 @ So he called them to himself and said to them in parables: »How can Satan cast out Satan?

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

tcent@Mark:3:28 @ Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;

tcent@Mark:3:29 @ but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin«—

tcent@Mark:3:30 @ because they said, »He has an unclean spirit.«

tcent@Mark:3:32 @ And a crowd was sitting around him; and they said to him, »Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you.«

tcent@Mark:4:1 @ Again he began to teach by the sea. and a very large crowd gathered around him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land.

tcent@Mark:4:4 @ And as he sowed the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

tcent@Mark:4:6 @ But when the sun came up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away.

tcent@Mark:4:8 @ But other seed fell on good soil and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced thirtyfold, sixty, and a hundred.«

tcent@Mark:4:9 @ And he said, »He who has ears to hear, let him hear.«

tcent@Mark:4:10 @ And when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.

tcent@Mark:4:11 @ And he said to them, »To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those outside everything is in parables;

tcent@Mark:4:15 @ And these are the ones along the path where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in them.

tcent@Mark:4:21 @ And he said to them, »Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand?

tcent@Mark:4:23 @ If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.«

tcent@Mark:4:24 @ Then he said to them, »Take heed what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you; and more will be given you.

tcent@Mark:4:25 @ For whoever has, to him will more be given; and whoever does not have, from him even what he has will be taken away.«

tcent@Mark:4:26 @ And he said, »The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground,

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

tcent@Mark:4:33 @ With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

tcent@Mark:4:36 @ And leaving the crowd, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.

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

tcent@Mark:4:38 @ But he was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. And they woke him and said to him, »Teacher, do you not care if we perish?«

tcent@Mark:4:39 @ Then he rose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, »Peace! Be still!« And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

tcent@Mark:5:1 @ They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes.

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

tcent@Mark:5:9 @ Then Jesus asked him, »What is your name?« And he replied, »My name is Legion, for we are many.«

tcent@Mark:5:11 @ Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside.

tcent@Mark:5:14 @ So those who fed the swine fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And people went out to see what it was that had happened.

tcent@Mark:5:18 @ And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged him that he might be with him.

tcent@Mark:5:19 @ Jesus did not let him, but said, »Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.«

tcent@Mark:5:21 @ And when Jesus had crossed over again by the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered around him; and he was by the sea.

tcent@Mark:5:25 @ And there was a woman who had endured a flow of blood for twelve years,

tcent@Mark:5:26 @ and she had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she owned, and was no better but rather grew worse.

tcent@Mark:5:29 @ And immediately the bleeding stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

tcent@Mark:5:34 @ And he said to her, »Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your disease.«

tcent@Mark:5:35 @ While he was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, »Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?«

tcent@Mark:5:40 @ And they laughed at him. But after he put them all outside, he took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

tcent@Mark:5:42 @ Immediately the girl stood up and walked (she was twelve years of age). And they were overcome with great amazement.

tcent@Mark:6:2 @ And when the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him were astonished, saying, »Where did this man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to him, that such mighty works are performed by his hands!

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

tcent@Mark:6:13 @ And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

tcent@Mark:6:14 @ King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some said, »John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why these powers are at work in him.«

tcent@Mark:6:16 @ But when Herod heard, he said, »This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!«

tcent@Mark:6:17 @ For Herod himself had sent and had John arrested, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.

tcent@Mark:6:19 @ And Herodias had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not,

tcent@Mark:6:20 @ for Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard him, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly.

tcent@Mark:6:22 @ And when the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, »Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you.«

tcent@Mark:6:23 @ And he vowed to her, »Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.«

tcent@Mark:6:24 @ So she went out and said to her mother, »What shall I ask?« And she said, »The head of John the Baptist!«

tcent@Mark:6:25 @ Immediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, »I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.«

tcent@Mark:6:26 @ And the king was exceedingly sorry; but, because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

tcent@Mark:6:34 @ When Jesus went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began to teach them many things.

tcent@Mark:6:35 @ When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, »This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.

tcent@Mark:6:39 @ Then he commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.

tcent@Mark:6:43 @ And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.

tcent@Mark:6:47 @ When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on land.

tcent@Mark:6:48 @ And he saw the disciples straining at the oars, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. He was about to pass by them,

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

tcent@Mark:6:51 @ Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were completely amazed,

tcent@Mark:6:55 @ and ran about that whole region, and began to carry those who were sick around on pallets to wherever they heard he was.

tcent@Mark:6:56 @ Wherever he entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched him were made well.

tcent@Mark:7:2 @ they saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.

tcent@Mark:7:3 @ (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders.

tcent@Mark:7:4 @ When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash themselves. And there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pitchers and copper vessels. )

tcent@Mark:7:5 @ The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, »Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with impure hands?«

tcent@Mark:7:6 @ And he said to them, »Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites; as it is written:

tcent@Mark:7:17 @ When he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable.

tcent@Mark:7:19 @ since it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?« (Thus he declared all foods clean.)

tcent@Mark:7:25 @ But a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit heard about him, and she came and fell at his feet.

tcent@Mark:7:26 @ Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

tcent@Mark:7:29 @ Then he said to her, »For this saying you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.«

tcent@Mark:7:32 @ Then they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged him to put his hand on him.

tcent@Mark:7:33 @ And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue.

tcent@Mark:7:35 @ And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

tcent@Mark:7:37 @ And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, »He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.«

tcent@Mark:8:2 @ »I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days and have nothing to eat.

tcent@Mark:8:5 @ And he asked them, »How many loaves do you have?« They said, »Seven.«

tcent@Mark:8:8 @ They ate, and were satisfied; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

tcent@Mark:8:19 @ When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?« They said to him, »Twelve.«

tcent@Mark:8:20 @ »And when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of pieces did you take up?« And they said, »Seven.«

tcent@Mark:8:23 @ So he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. And when he had spit on his eyes and put his hands on him, he asked him »Do you see anything?«

tcent@Mark:8:25 @ Then he put his hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored, and saw everything clearly.

tcent@Mark:8:27 @ And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, »Who do men say that I am?«

tcent@Mark:8:29 @ And he asked them, »But who do you say that I am?« Peter answered him, »You are the Christ.«

tcent@Mark:8:32 @ He spoke plainly about this. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

tcent@Mark:8:38 @ For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.«

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

tcent@Mark:9:2 @ After six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them,

tcent@Mark:9:3 @ and his clothes became dazzling, exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth could bleach them.

tcent@Mark:9:9 @ And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

tcent@Mark:9:11 @ And they asked him, »Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?«

tcent@Mark:9:13 @ But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.«

tcent@Mark:9:16 @ And he asked them, »What are you discussing with them?«

tcent@Mark:9:17 @ And one of the crowd answered him, »Teacher, I brought my son to you, who has a mute spirit.

tcent@Mark:9:18 @ And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast out the spirit, but they could not.«

tcent@Mark:9:21 @ And Jesus asked his father, »How long has he been like this?« And he said, »From childhood.

tcent@Mark:9:22 @ And it has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us.«

tcent@Mark:9:26 @ And the spirit cried out, convulsed him terribly, and came out. And the boy was like a corpse; so that many of them said, »He is dead.«

tcent@Mark:9:28 @ And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, »Why could we not cast it out?«

tcent@Mark:9:30 @ Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and he did not want anyone to know it.

tcent@Mark:9:31 @ For he was teaching his disciples and said to them, »The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and when he is killed, after three days he will rise.«

tcent@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to ask him.

tcent@Mark:9:33 @ And they came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, »What were you discussing on the road?«

tcent@Mark:9:34 @ But they kept silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest.

tcent@Mark:9:35 @ And he sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, »If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.«

tcent@Mark:9:38 @ John said to him, »Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name and we forbade him, because he was not one of us.«

tcent@Mark:9:50 @ Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.«

tcent@Mark:10:1 @ Then he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan. And crowds gathered to him again; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.

tcent@Mark:10:2 @ The Pharisees came and in order to test him asked, »Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?«

tcent@Mark:10:7 @ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

tcent@Mark:10:9 @ Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.«

tcent@Mark:10:10 @ In the house his disciples also asked him again about this matter.

tcent@Mark:10:14 @ But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, »Let the little children come to me; and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

tcent@Mark:10:17 @ And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, »Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?«

tcent@Mark:10:21 @ Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, »You lack one thing; go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.«

tcent@Mark:10:25 @ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.«

tcent@Mark:10:26 @ And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, »Then who can be saved?«

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

tcent@Mark:10:31 @ But many who are first will be last, and the last first.«

tcent@Mark:10:32 @ They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And he took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was to happen to him.

tcent@Mark:10:35 @ Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said, »Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.«

tcent@Mark:10:38 @ But Jesus said to them, »You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?«

tcent@Mark:10:40 @ but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.«

tcent@Mark:10:45 @ For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.«

tcent@Mark:10:46 @ And they came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside begging.

tcent@Mark:10:47 @ And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, »Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!«

tcent@Mark:10:50 @ And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.

tcent@Mark:10:51 @ And Jesus said to him, »What do you want me to do for you?« And the blind man said to him, »Master, let me receive my sight.«

tcent@Mark:10:52 @ Then Jesus said to him, »Go your way; your faith has made you well.« And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

tcent@Mark:11:2 @ and said to them, »Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it.

tcent@Mark:11:3 @ If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’«

tcent@Mark:11:6 @ They answered as Jesus had told them to, and they let them go.

tcent@Mark:11:11 @ Jesus entered Jerusalem, and went into the temple. And when he had looked round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

tcent@Mark:11:12 @ On the next day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry.

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

tcent@Mark:11:17 @ And as he taught them, he said, »Is it not written,

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

tcent@Mark:11:20 @ In the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.

tcent@Mark:11:21 @ Peter remembered and said to him, »Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered.«

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

tcent@Mark:11:24 @ Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

tcent@Mark:11:25 @ And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.

tcent@Mark:11:27 @ Then they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him.

tcent@Mark:11:29 @ Jesus said to them, »I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

tcent@Mark:11:30 @ The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.«

tcent@Mark:11:31 @ And they reasoned among themselves, »If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

tcent@Mark:11:32 @ But if we say, ‘From men’«—they feared the people, for all held that John was a real prophet.

tcent@Mark:12:1 @ Then he began to speak to them in parables: »A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to vine dressers and went into a far country.

tcent@Mark:12:6 @ He still had one left to send, a beloved son. He sent him to them last, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

tcent@Mark:12:8 @ So they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

tcent@Mark:12:18 @ Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him; and they asked him a question, saying:

tcent@Mark:12:22 @ So the seven had her and left no children. Last of all the woman died also.

tcent@Mark:12:23 @ In the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.«

tcent@Mark:12:26 @ And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

tcent@Mark:12:28 @ And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him, »Which commandment is the first of all?«

tcent@Mark:12:31 @ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.«

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

tcent@Mark:12:34 @ And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, »You are not far from the kingdom of God.« And after that no one dared to ask him any question.

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

tcent@Mark:12:41 @ And Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many people who were rich put in large sums.

tcent@Mark:12:43 @ And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, »Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury.

tcent@Mark:13:1 @ And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, »Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!«

tcent@Mark:13:3 @ Now as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

tcent@Mark:14:3 @ And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly. And she broke the flask and poured it over his head.

tcent@Mark:14:4 @ But there were some who said to themselves indignantly, »Why was this ointment wasted?

tcent@Mark:14:6 @ But Jesus said, »Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

tcent@Mark:14:8 @ She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint my body for burial.

tcent@Mark:14:9 @ And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.«

tcent@Mark:14:10 @ Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray him to them.

tcent@Mark:14:12 @ Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, »Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?«

tcent@Mark:14:14 @ And wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’

tcent@Mark:14:16 @ So the disciples set out and went to the city, and found it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

tcent@Mark:14:17 @ And when it was evening he came with the twelve.

tcent@Mark:14:18 @ And as they were at table eating, Jesus said, »Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.«

tcent@Mark:14:21 @ For the Son of Man goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.«

tcent@Mark:14:22 @ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, »Take; this is my body.«

tcent@Mark:14:32 @ They went to a place which was called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, »Sit here, while I pray.«

tcent@Mark:14:35 @ And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

tcent@Mark:14:37 @ Then he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, »Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

tcent@Mark:14:41 @ Then he came the third time and said to them, »Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

tcent@Mark:14:43 @ And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

tcent@Mark:14:48 @ And Jesus said to them, »Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me?

tcent@Mark:14:49 @ Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But the scriptures must be fulfilled.«

tcent@Mark:14:53 @ And they led Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled.

tcent@Mark:14:60 @ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, »Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?«

tcent@Mark:14:61 @ But he was silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, »Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?«

tcent@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?« And they all condemned him as worthy of death.

tcent@Mark:14:66 @ Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came.

tcent@Mark:15:2 @ Then Pilate asked him, »Are you the King of the Jews?« And he answered him, »It is as you say.«

tcent@Mark:15:4 @ And Pilate again asked him, »Have you no answer to make? See how many things they bring against you.«

tcent@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus still made no answer, so that Pilate was amazed.

tcent@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the feast he was accustomed to release for them one prisoner whom they requested.

tcent@Mark:15:7 @ And with the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas.

tcent@Mark:15:8 @ And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he had always done for them.

tcent@Mark:15:9 @ But Pilate answered them, »Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?«

tcent@Mark:15:10 @ For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.

tcent@Mark:15:11 @ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead.

tcent@Mark:15:14 @ And Pilate said to them, »Why, what evil has he done?« But they shouted all the more, »Crucify him!«

tcent@Mark:15:15 @ So Pilate, wanting to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged him, to be crucified.

tcent@Mark:15:21 @ Then they compelled a certain man, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to carry his cross.

tcent@Mark:15:25 @ And it was the third hour, when they crucified him.

tcent@Mark:15:29 @ And those who passed by hurled insults at him, wagging their heads, and saying, »Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days,

tcent@Mark:15:33 @ And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

tcent@Mark:15:37 @ And with a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

tcent@Mark:15:38 @ Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

tcent@Mark:15:39 @ So when the centurion, who stood opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, »Truly this man was the Son of God!«

tcent@Mark:15:41 @ who also followed him and ministered to him when he was in Galilee; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

tcent@Mark:15:42 @ Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

tcent@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

tcent@Mark:15:44 @ Pilate marveled that he was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if he was already dead.

tcent@Mark:15:45 @ And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph.

tcent@Mark:15:47 @ Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

tcent@Mark:16:1 @ Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.

tcent@Mark:16:3 @ And they asked each other, »Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?«

tcent@Mark:16:4 @ But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, though it was very large, had been rolled away.

tcent@Mark:16:6 @ But he said to them, »Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.

tcent@Mark:16:7 @ But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you.«

tcent@Mark:16:8 @ So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

tcent@Mark:16:9 @ Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons.

tcent@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

tcent@Mark:16:11 @ And when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.

tcent@Mark:16:12 @ After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country.

tcent@Mark:16:14 @ Later he appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

tcent@Mark:16:17 @ And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

tcent@Mark:16:19 @ So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

tcent@Luke:1:1 @ Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been fulfilled among us,

tcent@Luke:1:2 @ just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,

tcent@Luke:1:5 @ In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

tcent@Luke:1:7 @ But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years.

tcent@Luke:1:8 @ Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty,

tcent@Luke:1:12 @ And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.

tcent@Luke:1:19 @ And the angel answered him, »I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.

tcent@Luke:1:20 @ And behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day that these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.«

tcent@Luke:1:23 @ And when his time of service was completed, he went to his home.

tcent@Luke:1:25 @ »Thus the Lord has done to me, in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among people.«

tcent@Luke:1:26 @ In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

tcent@Luke:1:27 @ to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.

tcent@Luke:1:29 @ But she was greatly troubled at his saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.

tcent@Luke:1:36 @ And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

tcent@Luke:1:39 @ In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,

tcent@Luke:1:41 @ And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

tcent@Luke:1:44 @ For behold, as soon as the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.

tcent@Luke:1:45 @ And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.«

tcent@Luke:1:63 @ And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, »His name is John.« And they all marveled.

tcent@Luke:1:64 @ And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God.

tcent@Luke:1:66 @ and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, »What then will this child be?« For the hand of the Lord was with him.

tcent@Luke:1:67 @ Now his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:

tcent@Luke:1:80 @ And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness till the day of his manifestation to Israel.

tcent@Luke:2:2 @ This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.

tcent@Luke:2:4 @ And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,

tcent@Luke:2:5 @ to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.

tcent@Luke:2:7 @ And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

tcent@Luke:2:13 @ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

tcent@Luke:2:15 @ When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, »Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.«

tcent@Luke:2:16 @ And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

tcent@Luke:2:20 @ Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

tcent@Luke:2:21 @ And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

tcent@Luke:2:22 @ And when the time of their purification according to the law of Moses was completed, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord

tcent@Luke:2:23 @ (as it is written in the law of the Lord, »Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord«),

tcent@Luke:2:25 @ Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

tcent@Luke:2:33 @ And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him.

tcent@Luke:2:36 @ And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity,

tcent@Luke:2:37 @ and as a widow till she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, but worshipped with fasting and prayer night and day.

tcent@Luke:2:40 @ And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

tcent@Luke:2:41 @ His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.

tcent@Luke:2:42 @ And when he was twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom.

tcent@Luke:2:43 @ And when the feast was over, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,

tcent@Luke:2:46 @ After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

tcent@Luke:2:48 @ And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, »Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously.«

tcent@Luke:2:51 @ Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them, but his mother kept all these things in her heart.

tcent@Luke:2:52 @ And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

tcent@Luke:3:1 @ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

tcent@Luke:3:2 @ during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

tcent@Luke:3:4 @ As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,

tcent@Luke:3:8 @ Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

tcent@Luke:3:10 @ And the multitudes asked him, »What then shall we do?«

tcent@Luke:3:11 @ And he answered them, »He who has two tunics, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise.«

tcent@Luke:3:14 @ Likewise the soldiers asked him, »And what shall we do?« So he said to them, »Rob no one by violence or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.«

tcent@Luke:3:15 @ As the people were in expectation, and all men questioned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he were the Christ,

tcent@Luke:3:19 @ But Herod the tetrarch, being rebuked by him concerning Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the other evil things Herod had done,

tcent@Luke:3:21 @ When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was also baptized. And as he was praying, the heaven was opened

tcent@Luke:3:22 @ and the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, »You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.«

tcent@Luke:3:23 @ Now Jesus himself, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

tcent@Luke:3:25 @ the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai,

tcent@Luke:3:26 @ the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,

tcent@Luke:4:1 @ Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

tcent@Luke:4:2 @ being tempted for forty days by the devil. In those days he ate nothing, and when they had ended, he was hungry.

tcent@Luke:4:6 @ And he said to him, »To you I will give all this authority and their glory; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.

tcent@Luke:4:16 @ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

tcent@Luke:4:17 @ And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written:

tcent@Luke:4:25 @ But I tell you truly, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;

tcent@Luke:4:26 @ but Elijah was sent to none of them except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

tcent@Luke:4:27 @ And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha; and not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.«

tcent@Luke:4:29 @ And they rose up and cast him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down the cliff.

tcent@Luke:4:30 @ But passing through the midst of them, he went his way.

tcent@Luke:4:31 @ Then he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and he was teaching them on the Sabbath.

tcent@Luke:4:32 @ And they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

tcent@Luke:4:33 @ And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice,

tcent@Luke:4:38 @ And he arose and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they made request of him on her behalf.

tcent@Luke:4:40 @ When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.

tcent@Luke:4:41 @ And demons also came out of many, crying, »You are the Son of God!« But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

tcent@Luke:4:42 @ Now when it was day, he departed and went into a deserted place. And the people sought him and came to him, and tried to keep him from leaving them;

tcent@Luke:4:43 @ but he said to them, »I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because I was sent for this purpose.«

tcent@Luke:4:44 @ And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

tcent@Luke:5:1 @ Now as the people pressed around him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.

tcent@Luke:5:2 @ And he saw two boats by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.

tcent@Luke:5:3 @ Then he got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

tcent@Luke:5:5 @ And Simon answered, »Master, we toiled all night and caught nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.«

tcent@Luke:5:9 @ For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;

tcent@Luke:5:12 @ While he was in one of the cities, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and begged him, »Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.«

tcent@Luke:5:14 @ And he charged him to tell no one, »But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded.«

tcent@Luke:5:17 @ One day as he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present for him to heal.

tcent@Luke:5:18 @ Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they sought to bring him in and lay him before Jesus.

tcent@Luke:5:21 @ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, »Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?«

tcent@Luke:5:22 @ But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered them, »Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

tcent@Luke:5:23 @ Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’?

tcent@Luke:5:24 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins«—he said to the man who was paralyzed— »I say to you, rise, take up your bed and go home.«

tcent@Luke:5:29 @ Then Levi made him a great feast in his house; and there were a great number of tax collectors and others sitting at table with them.

tcent@Luke:5:33 @ They said to him, »The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink.«

tcent@Luke:5:34 @ And Jesus said to them, »Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them?

tcent@Luke:5:35 @ But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.«

tcent@Luke:6:1 @ One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grain fields, and his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.

tcent@Luke:6:3 @ Jesus answered them, »Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

tcent@Luke:6:6 @ On another Sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

tcent@Luke:6:10 @ And he looked around at them all, and said to the man, »Stretch out your hand.« He did so, and his hand was restored.

tcent@Luke:6:13 @ And when it was day, he called his disciples to himself; and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

tcent@Luke:8:24 @ And they went and woke him, saying, »Master, Master, we are perishing!« Then he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

tcent@Luke:8:26 @ Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

tcent@Luke:8:29 @ For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.

tcent@Luke:8:30 @ Jesus asked him, »What is your name?« And he said, »Legion«; because many demons had entered him.

tcent@Luke:8:32 @ Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside; and they begged him to let them enter them. So he gave them permission.

tcent@Luke:8:36 @ Those who had seen it told them how he who had been demon-possessed was healed.

tcent@Luke:8:37 @ Then all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.

tcent@Luke:8:39 @ »Return to your home, and tell how much God has done for you.« And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

tcent@Luke:8:41 @ And behold, there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to his house,

tcent@Luke:8:42 @ for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying.

tcent@Luke:8:45 @ And Jesus said, »Who touched me?« When all denied it, Peter said, »Master, the multitudes surround you and press upon you!«

tcent@Luke:8:46 @ But Jesus said, »Someone touched me; for I know that power has gone out from me.«

tcent@Luke:8:47 @ When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.

tcent@Luke:8:48 @ And he said to her, »Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.«

tcent@Luke:8:49 @ While he was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said, »Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more.«

tcent@Luke:8:53 @ And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.

tcent@Luke:8:56 @ And her parents were astonished, but he charged them to tell no one what had happened.

tcent@Luke:9:1 @ Then he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

tcent@Luke:9:5 @ And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.«

tcent@Luke:9:7 @ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,

tcent@Luke:9:17 @ They all ate and were satisfied, and they took up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

tcent@Luke:9:18 @ Now it happened that as he was praying alone his disciples were with him; and he asked them, »Who do the crowds say that I am?«

tcent@Luke:9:19 @ So they answered, »John the Baptist; but others say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.«

tcent@Luke:9:26 @ For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

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

tcent@Luke:9:29 @ And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his robe became white and glistening.

tcent@Luke:9:31 @ who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

tcent@Luke:9:33 @ As the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, »Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah«—not knowing what he said.

tcent@Luke:9:34 @ While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

tcent@Luke:9:36 @ When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

tcent@Luke:9:40 @ I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.«

tcent@Luke:9:42 @ While he was coming, the demon threw him and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

tcent@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

tcent@Luke:9:46 @ And an argument arose among them as to which of them would be the greatest.

tcent@Luke:9:48 @ and said to them, »Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.«

tcent@Luke:9:49 @ Now John answered, »Master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.«

tcent@Luke:9:53 @ but the people did not receive him, because his face was set for Jerusalem.

tcent@Luke:9:57 @ As they were going along the road, a man said to him, »I will follow you wherever you go.«

tcent@Luke:9:58 @ And Jesus said to him, »Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.«

tcent@Luke:10:1 @ After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go.

tcent@Luke:10:3 @ Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

tcent@Luke:10:9 @ Heal the sick there and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

tcent@Luke:10:31 @ Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.

tcent@Luke:10:32 @ So likewise, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

tcent@Luke:10:33 @ But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion.

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

tcent@Luke:10:36 @ Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?«

tcent@Luke:10:38 @ Now as they went on their way, he entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.

tcent@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, »Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.«

tcent@Luke:11:1 @ He was praying in a certain place, and when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, »Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.«

tcent@Luke:11:5 @ And he said to them, »Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves;

tcent@Luke:11:8 @ I tell you, though he will not get up and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as much as he needs.

tcent@Luke:19:20 @ Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept laid away in a handkerchief;

tcent@Luke:19:21 @ for I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.’

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

tcent@Luke:19:24 @ And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’

tcent@Luke:19:25 @ And they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas already!’

tcent@Luke:19:26 @ ‘I tell you, that to every one who has will more be given; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

tcent@Luke:19:30 @ saying, »Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

tcent@Luke:19:31 @ If any one asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say to him, ‘The Lord has need of it.’«

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

tcent@Luke:19:33 @ And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, »Why are you untying the colt?«

tcent@Luke:19:34 @ And they said, »The Lord has need of it.«

tcent@Luke:19:36 @ And as he went along, many spread their garments on the road.

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

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

tcent@Luke:19:47 @ And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests the scribes and the leaders of the people sought to destroy him,

tcent@Luke:20:1 @ One day as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, came up to him

tcent@Luke:20:3 @ He answered them, »I also will ask you a question; now tell me,

tcent@Luke:20:4 @ the baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?«

tcent@Luke:20:5 @ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, »If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

tcent@Luke:20:6 @ But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.«

tcent@Luke:20:7 @ So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

tcent@Luke:20:9 @ Then he began to tell the people this parable: »A man planted a vineyard, leased it to vine-dressers, and went into another country for a long time.

tcent@Luke:20:12 @ He sent a third; and they wounded him and cast him out.

tcent@Luke:20:14 @ But when the tenants saw him, they reasoned among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’

tcent@Luke:20:15 @ So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

tcent@Luke:20:21 @ And they asked him, »Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and you do not show partiality, but teach the way of God in truth.

tcent@Luke:20:33 @ In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife.«

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

tcent@Luke:20:40 @ For they no longer dared to ask him any question.

tcent@Luke:20:46 @ »Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,

tcent@Luke:21:1 @ He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury,

tcent@Luke:21:3 @ So he said, »Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of the others;

tcent@Luke:21:5 @ And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, he said,

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

tcent@Luke:21:7 @ So they asked him, »Teacher, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when they are about to take place?«

tcent@Luke:21:32 @ Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all things take place.

tcent@Luke:21:33 @ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

tcent@Luke:21:37 @ And every day he was teaching in the temple, but at night he went out to spend the night on the mount called Olivet.

tcent@Luke:22:1 @ Now the feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover.

tcent@Luke:22:3 @ Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, who was numbered of the twelve.

tcent@Luke:22:7 @ Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

tcent@Luke:22:8 @ So he sent Peter and John, saying, »Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.«

tcent@Luke:22:11 @ And say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’

tcent@Luke:22:13 @ So they went, and found it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

tcent@Luke:22:15 @ And he said to them, »I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

tcent@Luke:22:22 @ For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!«

tcent@Luke:22:23 @ Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this.

tcent@Luke:22:24 @ A dispute also arose among them, which of them was to be considered the greatest.

tcent@Luke:22:26 @ But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among you, let him be as the youngest, and he who leads as one who serves.

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

tcent@Luke:22:29 @ And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as my Father bestowed one on me,

tcent@Luke:22:31 @ »Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat.

tcent@Luke:22:36 @ He said to them, »But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag; and let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.

tcent@Luke:22:37 @ For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was numbered with transgressors’; for what is written about me has its fulfillment.«

tcent@Luke:22:39 @ He came out, and went to the Mount of Olives, as was his custom, and his disciples followed him.

tcent@Luke:22:47 @ While he was still speaking, a crowd came, and the man who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him;

tcent@Luke:22:48 @ but Jesus said to him, »Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?«

tcent@Luke:22:49 @ When those around him saw what was going to happen, they said, »Lord, shall we strike with the sword?«

tcent@Luke:22:52 @ Then Jesus said to the chief priests, officers of the temple, and the elders who had come to him, »Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

tcent@Luke:22:53 @ When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.«

tcent@Luke:22:56 @ And a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, looked at him, and said, »This man also was with him.«

tcent@Luke:22:59 @ Then after about an hour had passed, another insisted, saying, »Certainly this fellow also was with him, for he is a Galilean.«

tcent@Luke:22:60 @ But Peter said, »Man, I do not know what you are saying!« Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

tcent@Luke:22:64 @ They blindfolded him and asked him, »Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?«

tcent@Luke:22:65 @ And they spoke many other things against him, blaspheming.

tcent@Luke:22:66 @ As soon as it was day, the council of the elders of the people came together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away to their council chamber, saying,

tcent@Luke:22:68 @ And if I ask you, you will not answer.

tcent@Luke:23:3 @ So Pilate asked him, »Are you the King of the Jews?« He answered him, »It is as you say.«

tcent@Luke:23:6 @ When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

tcent@Luke:23:7 @ And when he learned that he belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was in Jerusalem at that time.

tcent@Luke:23:8 @ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had desired to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

tcent@Luke:23:14 @ and said to them, »You have brought this man to me as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. And behold, having examined him in your presence, I have found no guilt in this man concerning those charges which you make against him;

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

tcent@Luke:23:16 @ I will therefore chastise him and release him.«

tcent@Luke:23:18 @ But they all cried out together, »Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas«—

tcent@Luke:23:20 @ Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed to them again.

tcent@Luke:23:22 @ Then he said to them the third time, »Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no crime deserving death. I will therefore chastise him and release him.«

tcent@Luke:23:25 @ And he released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

tcent@Luke:23:26 @ And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus.

tcent@Luke:23:29 @ For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed!’

tcent@Luke:23:34 @ Then Jesus said, »Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.« And they divided his garments and cast lots.

tcent@Luke:23:38 @ There was also an inscription written over him:

tcent@Luke:23:41 @ And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.«

tcent@Luke:23:44 @ It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,

tcent@Luke:23:45 @ for the sun was darkened; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two.

tcent@Luke:23:46 @ And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, »Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.« And having said this, he breathed his last.

tcent@Luke:23:47 @ Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he praised God, and said, »Certainly this was a righteous man!«

tcent@Luke:23:48 @ When all the multitudes who had gathered to witness this sight saw what had taken place, they beat their breasts, and returned home.

tcent@Luke:23:50 @ Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and righteous man,

tcent@Luke:23:51 @ who had not consented to their decision and deed. He came from of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he was waiting for the kingdom of God.

tcent@Luke:23:52 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

tcent@Luke:23:53 @ Then he took it down and wrapped it in linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever yet been laid.

tcent@Luke:23:54 @ It was the Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

tcent@Luke:23:55 @ The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.

tcent@Luke:24:5 @ And as they were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, »Why do you seek the living among the dead?

tcent@Luke:24:6 @ He is not here, but is risen! Remember how he told you while he was still in Galilee,

tcent@Luke:24:10 @ It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told this to the apostles.

tcent@Luke:24:17 @ And he said to them, »What is this conversation which you are exchanging with each other as you walk?« And they stood still, looking sad.

tcent@Luke:24:18 @ Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, »Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?«

tcent@Luke:24:19 @ And he said to them, »What things?« And they said to him, »The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

tcent@Luke:24:21 @ But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since all this happened.

tcent@Luke:24:23 @ and when they did not find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said he was alive.

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

tcent@Luke:24:28 @ As they drew near the village to which they were going, he acted as though he would be going farther,

tcent@Luke:24:30 @ When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

tcent@Luke:24:34 @ saying, »The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!«

tcent@Luke:24:35 @ Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

tcent@Luke:24:36 @ As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, »Peace be with you.«

tcent@Luke:24:39 @ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.«

tcent@Luke:24:44 @ Then he said to them, »These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.«

tcent@Luke:24:50 @ Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.

tcent@Luke:24:51 @ While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.

tcent@John:1:1 @ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

tcent@John:1:2 @ He was with God in the beginning.

tcent@John:1:3 @ All things were made through him, and without him nothing was made that was made.

tcent@John:1:4 @ In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

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

tcent@John:1:8 @ He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.

tcent@John:1:9 @ The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.

tcent@John:1:10 @ He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him.

tcent@John:1:14 @ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

tcent@John:1:15 @ John bore witness of him and cried out, saying, »This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.’«

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

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

tcent@John:1:19 @ Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, »Who are you?«

tcent@John:1:21 @ And they asked him, »What then? Are you Elijah?« He said, »I am not.« »Are you the prophet?« And he answered, »No.«

tcent@John:1:23 @ He said, as the prophet Isaiah said.«

tcent@John:1:25 @ They asked him, »Then why do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?«

tcent@John:1:28 @ This took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

tcent@John:1:30 @ This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.’

tcent@John:1:32 @ And John bore witness, »I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him.

tcent@John:1:35 @ Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples.

tcent@John:1:36 @ And he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, »Behold, the Lamb of God!«

tcent@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.

tcent@John:1:40 @ One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

tcent@John:1:42 @ He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, »You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas« (which means Peter).

tcent@John:1:44 @ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

tcent@John:1:51 @ And he said to him, »Truly, truly, I say to you, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.«

tcent@John:2:1 @ On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

tcent@John:2:3 @ When the wine was gone, the mother of Jesus said to him, »They have no wine.«

tcent@John:2:4 @ Jesus said to her, »Woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.«

tcent@John:2:8 @ He said to them, »Now draw some out, and take it to the master of the feast.« So they took it.

tcent@John:2:9 @ When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it had come from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

tcent@John:2:13 @ The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

tcent@John:2:17 @ His disciples remembered that it was written, »Zeal for your house will consume me.«

tcent@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?«

tcent@John:2:21 @ But he was speaking of the temple of his body.

tcent@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.

tcent@John:2:23 @ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did.

tcent@John:2:25 @ and he had no need for anyone to bear witness of man, for he knew what was in man.

tcent@John:3:1 @ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

tcent@John:3:13 @ No one has ascended into heaven, but he who came from heaven – the Son of Man.

tcent@John:3:14 @ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

tcent@John:3:18 @ He who believes in him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

tcent@John:3:19 @ And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

tcent@John:3:23 @ Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were baptized.

tcent@John:3:26 @ And they came to John and said to him, »Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified—behold, he is baptizing, and all are going to him.«

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

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

tcent@John:3:32 @ He testifies to what he has seen and heard; yet no one receives his testimony.

tcent@John:3:33 @ He who has received his testimony has certified that God is true.

tcent@John:3:34 @ For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without measure.

tcent@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

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

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

tcent@John:4:6 @ Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

tcent@John:4:9 @ Then the woman of Samaria said to him, »How is it that you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?« For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

tcent@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered her, »If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.«

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

tcent@John:4:27 @ Just then his disciples came. And they marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, »What do you wish?« or, »Why are you talking with her?«

tcent@John:4:33 @ So the disciples said to one another, »Has any one brought him food?«

tcent@John:4:44 @ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

tcent@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.

tcent@John:4:46 @ So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was sick.

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

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

tcent@John:4:53 @ So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus had said to him, »Your son will live.« And he himself believed, and all his household.

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

tcent@John:5:1 @ After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

tcent@John:5:5 @ One man who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

tcent@John:5:9 @ And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.

tcent@John:5:10 @ So the Jews said to the man who was cured, »It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.«

tcent@John:5:12 @ They asked him, »Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed, and walk’?«

tcent@John:5:13 @ Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in that place.

tcent@John:5:15 @ The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

tcent@John:5:16 @ For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.

tcent@John:5:18 @ Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

tcent@John:5:21 @ For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom he will.

tcent@John:5:22 @ For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

tcent@John:5:23 @ that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

tcent@John:5:24 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

tcent@John:5:26 @ For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself,

tcent@John:5:27 @ and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

tcent@John:5:30 @ »I can do nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

tcent@John:5:33 @ You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

tcent@John:5:35 @ He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a time in his light.

tcent@John:5:36 @ But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these very works which I am doing, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.

tcent@John:5:37 @ And the Father who sent me has himself testified of me. You have never heard his voice, nor seen his form.

tcent@John:5:38 @ And you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.

tcent@John:6:1 @ After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.

tcent@John:6:2 @ And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he performed on those who were diseased.

tcent@John:6:4 @ Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

tcent@John:6:9 @ »There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?«

tcent@John:6:10 @ Jesus said, »Make the people sit down.« Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

tcent@John:6:11 @ Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

tcent@John:6:13 @ So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, left over by those who had eaten.

tcent@John:6:17 @ got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

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

tcent@John:6:21 @ Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

tcent@John:6:23 @ However, boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

tcent@John:6:24 @ So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also got into the boats and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

tcent@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.«

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

tcent@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’«

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

tcent@John:6:37 @ All that the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out.

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

tcent@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.«

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

tcent@John:6:45 @ It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

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

tcent@John:6:47 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has everlasting life.

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

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

tcent@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live for ever.«

tcent@John:6:59 @ This he said in the synagogue as he taught in Capernaum.

tcent@John:6:62 @ What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before?

tcent@John:6:65 @ And he said, »This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father.«

tcent@John:6:71 @ He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who was to betray him, though one of the twelve.

tcent@John:7:2 @ Now the Jews' feast of Tabernacles was at hand.

tcent@John:7:6 @ Jesus said to them, »My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

tcent@John:7:8 @ You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.«

tcent@John:7:10 @ But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but in secret.

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

tcent@John:7:12 @ And there was much complaining among the people about him. Some said, »He is a good man«; others said, »No, on the contrary, he deceives the people.«

tcent@John:7:14 @ Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

tcent@John:7:28 @ Then Jesus cried out, as he taught in the temple, »You know me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come on my own, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

tcent@John:7:31 @ And many of the people believed in him, and they said, »When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?«

tcent@John:7:37 @ On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, »If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

tcent@John:7:38 @ He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.«

tcent@John:7:39 @ Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

tcent@John:7:42 @ Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?«

tcent@John:7:43 @ So there was a division among the people because of him.

tcent@John:7:50 @ Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before, and who was one of them, said to them,

tcent@John:8:4 @ they said to him, »Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

tcent@John:8:7 @ And when they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, »Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.«

tcent@John:8:9 @ Then those who heard it went away one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last, and Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing before him.

tcent@John:8:10 @ Jesus straightened up and said to her, »Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?«

tcent@John:8:20 @ These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

tcent@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.«

tcent@John:8:30 @ As he spoke these words, many believed in him.

tcent@John:8:37 @ I know that you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

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

tcent@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in 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.

tcent@John:8:47 @ He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason you do not hear them is that you are not of God.«

tcent@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him, »Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.’

tcent@John:8:56 @ Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad.«

tcent@John:8:58 @ Jesus said to them, »Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.«

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

tcent@John:9:2 @ And his disciples asked him, »Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?«

tcent@John:9:5 @ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.«

tcent@John:9:6 @ As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the saliva, and anointed the man's eyes with the clay.

tcent@John:9:7 @ And he said to him, »Go, wash in the pool of Siloam« (which means, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

tcent@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?«

tcent@John:9:11 @ He answered and said, »A man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.«

tcent@John:9:14 @ Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

tcent@John:9:15 @ Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, »He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.«

tcent@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?« And there was a division among them.

tcent@John:9:17 @ So they again said to the blind man, »What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?« He said, »He is a prophet.«

tcent@John:9:19 @ And they asked them, »Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?«

tcent@John:9:20 @ His parents answered, »We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

tcent@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.«

tcent@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that he was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

tcent@John:9:23 @ Therefore his parents said, »He is of age; ask him.«

tcent@John:9:25 @ He answered, »Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know. One thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see.«

tcent@John:9:29 @ We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we do not know where he comes from.«

tcent@John:9:32 @ Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind.

tcent@John:9:34 @ They answered him, »You were born in utter sin, and are you teaching us?« And they cast him out.

tcent@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and when he found him, he said, »Do you believe in the Son of Man?«

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

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

tcent@John:10:9 @ I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

tcent@John:10:15 @ just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

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

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

tcent@John:10:20 @ Many of them said, »He has a demon, and is mad. Why listen to him?«

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

tcent@John:10:22 @ Then came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter,

tcent@John:10:23 @ and Jesus was in the temple, walking in Solomon's Porch.

tcent@John:10:29 @ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand.

tcent@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him, »For a good work we do not stone you, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God.«

tcent@John:10:36 @ do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

tcent@John:10:40 @ He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.

tcent@John:10:41 @ And many came to him and they said, »John performed no sign, but all that John said about this man was true.«

tcent@John:11:1 @ Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

tcent@John:11:2 @ It was this Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

tcent@John:11:6 @ So, when he heard that he was sick, he stayed two more days in the place where he was.

tcent@John:11:11 @ These things he said, and after that he said to them, »Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to wake him up.«

tcent@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.«

tcent@John:11:16 @ Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, »Let us also go, that we may die with him.«

tcent@John:11:18 @ Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off,

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

tcent@John:11:22 @ But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.«

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

tcent@John:11:30 @ Now Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

tcent@John:11:31 @ The Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

tcent@John:11:32 @ Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, »Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.«

tcent@John:11:33 @ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

tcent@John:11:38 @ Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

tcent@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, »Take away the stone.« Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, »Lord, by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been dead four days.«

tcent@John:11:49 @ But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, »You know nothing at all!

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

tcent@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?«

tcent@John:11:57 @ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, so that they might arrest him.

tcent@John:12:1 @ Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

tcent@John:12:2 @ There they made him a supper; and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

tcent@John:12:3 @ Then Mary took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

tcent@John:12:4 @ But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, said,

tcent@John:12:5 @ »Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?«

tcent@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.

tcent@John:12:7 @ Jesus said, »Let her alone, she has kept this for the day of my burial.

tcent@John:12:9 @ Now a great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

tcent@John:12:12 @ The next day a great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

tcent@John:12:14 @ Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,

tcent@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.

tcent@John:12:18 @ For this reason the people went to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

tcent@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees then said to one another, »You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, The world has gone after him!«

tcent@John:12:20 @ Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the Feast.

tcent@John:12:21 @ Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, »Sir, we wish to see Jesus.«

tcent@John:12:23 @ Jesus answered them, »The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

tcent@John:12:29 @ The crowd standing by heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said, »An angel has spoken to him.«

tcent@John:12:30 @ Jesus answered, »This voice has come for your sake, not for mine.

tcent@John:12:31 @ Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

tcent@John:12:33 @ He said this to show by what death he was to die.

tcent@John:12:46 @ I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me should not remain in darkness.

tcent@John:12:48 @ He who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will condemn him on the last day.

tcent@John:12:50 @ And I know that his command is eternal life. Whatever I say, therefore, I say just as the Father has told me.«

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

tcent@John:13:2 @ And during supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

tcent@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,

tcent@John:13:4 @ rose from supper, laid aside his garments, took a towel and girded himself.

tcent@John:13:5 @ After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.

tcent@John:13:6 @ Then he came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to him, »Lord, are you going to wash my feet?«

tcent@John:13:8 @ Peter said to him, »You shall never wash my feet.« Jesus answered him, »If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.«

tcent@John:13:10 @ Jesus said to him, »He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not every one of you.«

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

tcent@John:13:12 @ When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and returned to his place, he said to them, »Do you know what I have done to you?

tcent@John:13:14 @ If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

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

tcent@John:13:16 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

tcent@John:13:18 @ I am not speaking of you all. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘he who ate my bread has lifted up his heel against me.’

tcent@John:13:21 @ When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, »Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.«

tcent@John:13:23 @ One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was leaning close to the breast of Jesus.

tcent@John:13:24 @ Simon Peter motioned to him and said, »Ask who it is of whom he speaks.«

tcent@John:13:25 @ Then, leaning back on the breast of Jesus, he said to him, »Lord, who is it?«

tcent@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, »It is he to whom I shall give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.« And having dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

tcent@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.

tcent@John:13:30 @ Having received the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.

tcent@John:13:33 @ Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek me; and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.

tcent@John:13:34 @ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

tcent@John:14:5 @ Thomas said to him, »Lord, we do not know where you are going, and how can we know the way?«

tcent@John:14:9 @ Jesus said to him, »Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

tcent@John:14:13 @ And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

tcent@John:14:14 @ If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

tcent@John:14:16 @ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you forever –

tcent@John:14:21 @ He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.«

tcent@John:14:22 @ Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, »Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?«

tcent@John:14:27 @ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

tcent@John:14:30 @ I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in me.

tcent@John:14:31 @ But I do as the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.

tcent@John:15:4 @ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.

tcent@John:15:6 @ If anyone does not abide in me, he is like a branch that is cast away and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.

tcent@John:15:7 @ If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

tcent@John:15:9 @ As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you; abide in my love.

tcent@John:15:10 @ If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

tcent@John:15:12 @ This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

tcent@John:15:13 @ Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

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

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

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

tcent@John:16:1 @ »I have said all this to you so that you will not go astray.

tcent@John:16:5 @ But now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’

tcent@John:16:6 @ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

tcent@John:16:15 @ All that the Father has is mine. Therefore I said that he will take of what is mine and declare it to you.

tcent@John:16:19 @ Now Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, »Are you asking yourselves about what I meant when I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see me; and again a little while, and you will see me’?

tcent@John:16:21 @ When a woman is in labor she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but as soon as she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child has been born into the world.

tcent@John:16:23 @ In that day you will ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

tcent@John:16:24 @ Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

tcent@John:16:26 @ In that day you will ask in my name. And I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;

tcent@John:16:32 @ Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, when you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

tcent@John:17:1 @ When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said: »Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you,

tcent@John:17:2 @ as you have given him authority over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to all those you have given him.

tcent@John:17:5 @ And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory which I had with you before the world was made.

tcent@John:17:11 @ And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name – the name you gave me – that they may be one, even as we are one.

tcent@John:17:12 @ While I was with them, I kept them in your name – the name you gave me. I have guarded them, and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

tcent@John:17:14 @ I have given them your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

tcent@John:17:16 @ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

tcent@John:17:18 @ As you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

tcent@John:17:21 @ that they all may be one, as you, Father, are in me, and I in you; that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me.

tcent@John:17:22 @ And the glory which you gave me I have given them, that they may be one just as we are one:

tcent@John:17:23 @ I in them, and you in me; that they may become perfectly one, and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them even as you have loved me.

tcent@John:17:25 @ O righteous Father, the world has not known you, but I have known you; and these know that you sent me.

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

tcent@John:18:2 @ Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

tcent@John:18:3 @ So Judas, having received a detachment of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

tcent@John:18:4 @ Then Jesus, knowing all that was to come upon him, went forward and said to them, »Whom do you seek?«

tcent@John:18:5 @ They answered him, »Jesus of Nazareth.« Jesus said to them, »I am he.« And Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

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

tcent@John:18:10 @ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

tcent@John:18:11 @ Jesus said to Peter, »Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?«

tcent@John:18:13 @ And they led him to Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

tcent@John:18:14 @ Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

tcent@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. As this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

tcent@John:18:16 @ But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the girl who kept the door, and brought Peter in.

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

tcent@John:18:21 @ Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. They know what I said.«

tcent@John:18:24 @ Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

tcent@John:18:28 @ Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they did not enter the Praetorium themselves, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

tcent@John:18:32 @ This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken would be fulfilled, showing by what death he was going to die.

tcent@John:18:37 @ Pilate said to him, »You are a king then?« Jesus answered, »You say what I am—a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.«

tcent@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?«

tcent@John:18:40 @ Then they all cried again, »Not this man, but Barabbas!« Now Barabbas was a robber.

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

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

tcent@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered, »You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered me to you has the greater sin.«

tcent@John:19:12 @ From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, »If you let this man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar.«

tcent@John:19:14 @ Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover, about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, »Behold your King!«

tcent@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, Greek, and Latin.

tcent@John:19:23 @ When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments, and made four parts, one for each soldier, and also his tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

tcent@John:19:24 @ So they said to one another, »Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be.« This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:

tcent@John:19:25 @ By the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

tcent@John:19:28 @ After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, »I thirst.«

tcent@John:19:29 @ Now a vessel full of wine vinegar was sitting there; so they filled a sponge with the vinegar, put it on hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

tcent@John:19:31 @ Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation, that the bodies should not remain 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.

tcent@John:19:33 @ But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

tcent@John:19:35 @ He who saw it has testified, and his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth, that you also may believe.

tcent@John:19:38 @ After this Joseph of Arimathea, 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 permission. So he came and took away his body.

tcent@John:19:40 @ So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

tcent@John:19:41 @ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.

tcent@John:19:42 @ So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

tcent@John:20:1 @ On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

tcent@John:20:9 @ For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

tcent@John:20:11 @ But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb.

tcent@John:20:14 @ Saying this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

tcent@John:20:17 @ Jesus said to her, »Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, »I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’«

tcent@John:20:21 @ Jesus said to them again, »Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I also send you.«

tcent@John:20:24 @ Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.

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

tcent@John:20:27 @ Then he said to Thomas, »Put your finger here, and see my hands. Reach out your hand, and put it into my side; do not be unbelieving, but believing.«

tcent@John:20:28 @ Thomas answered him, »My Lord and my God!«

tcent@John:21:1 @ After this Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way he showed himself:

tcent@John:21:2 @ Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.

tcent@John:21:4 @ But early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

tcent@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, and now they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

tcent@John:21:7 @ Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, »It is the Lord!« Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and threw himself into the sea.

tcent@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

tcent@John:21:12 @ Jesus said to them, »Come and have breakfast.« Now none of the disciples dared ask him, »Who are you?« They knew it was the Lord.

tcent@John:21:14 @ This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.

tcent@John:21:15 @ When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, »Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?« He said to him, »Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.« He said to him, »Feed my lambs.«

tcent@John:21:17 @ He said to him the third time, »Simon, son of John, do you love me?« Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, »Do you love me?« And he said to him, »Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.« Jesus said to him, »Feed my sheep.

tcent@John:21:20 @ Peter turned and saw following them the disciple whom Jesus loved, who had leaned on his breast at the supper and had said, »Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?«

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

tcent@Acts:1:6 @ So when they had come together, they asked him, »Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?«

tcent@Acts:1:7 @ He said to them, »It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority.

tcent@Acts:1:8 @ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.«

tcent@Acts:1:9 @ And after he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

tcent@Acts:1:10 @ And as they were gazing intently into the sky while he was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them.

tcent@Acts:1:11 @ They also said, »Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched him go into heaven.«

tcent@Acts:1:13 @ And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James.

tcent@Acts:1:15 @ In those days Peter stood up among the brethren (the company of persons was in all about a hundred and twenty), and said,

tcent@Acts:1:16 @ »Brethren, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to those who arrested Jesus.

tcent@Acts:1:17 @ For he was counted among us and received his share in this ministry.«

tcent@Acts:1:19 @ And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

tcent@Acts:1:22 @ beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.«

tcent@Acts:1:23 @ So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias.

tcent@Acts:1:25 @ to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside, to go to his own place.«

tcent@Acts:1:26 @ And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles.

tcent@Acts:2:3 @ And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them.

tcent@Acts:2:4 @ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

tcent@Acts:2:9 @ Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

tcent@Acts:2:15 @ For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day;

tcent@Acts:2:16 @ but this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

tcent@Acts:2:22 @ »Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know—

tcent@Acts:2:24 @ But God raised him up, having loosed the agony of death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power.

tcent@Acts:2:29 @ »Brethren, I may say to you confidently of the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

tcent@Acts:2:30 @ And so, because he was a prophet, and knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne,

tcent@Acts:2:33 @ Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you see and hear.

tcent@Acts:2:34 @ For David did not ascend into heaven, but he says himself:

tcent@Acts:2:36 @ Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.«

tcent@Acts:2:43 @ Everyone was filled with awe; and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

tcent@Acts:2:45 @ and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as anyone had need.

tcent@Acts:3:2 @ And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they set down every day at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to beg alms of those who entered the temple.

tcent@Acts:3:3 @ When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms.

tcent@Acts:3:10 @ and they recognized him as the one who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple to beg alms, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

tcent@Acts:3:11 @ While he clung to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch called Solomon's, astounded.

tcent@Acts:3:12 @ And when Peter saw this he addressed the people, »Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk?

tcent@Acts:3:13 @ The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, the one whom you delivered and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.

tcent@Acts:3:14 @ But you disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

tcent@Acts:3:16 @ And his name, by faith in his name, has made this man strong whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Jesus has given him perfect health in the presence of you all.

tcent@Acts:3:17 @ And now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

tcent@Acts:4:1 @ And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,

tcent@Acts:4:3 @ And they seized them and put them in jail until the next day, for it was already evening.

tcent@Acts:4:6 @ and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family.

tcent@Acts:4:9 @ if we are being examined today for a good deed done to a cripple, as to how this man has been healed,

tcent@Acts:4:13 @ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.

tcent@Acts:4:16 @ saying, »What shall we do with these men? For that a noteworthy miracle has been performed through them is apparent to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

tcent@Acts:4:22 @ For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

tcent@Acts:4:23 @ When they had been released, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

tcent@Acts:4:31 @ And when they had prayed, the place where they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness.

tcent@Acts:4:32 @ Now the company of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed that any of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had everything in common.

tcent@Acts:4:33 @ And with great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

tcent@Acts:4:34 @ For there was not a needy person among them, For all who were owners of land or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of the sales

tcent@Acts:4:35 @ and laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.

tcent@Acts:4:36 @ Thus Joseph who was called by the apostles Barnabas (which means, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,

tcent@Acts:5:1 @ But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,

tcent@Acts:5:3 @ But Peter said, »Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land?

tcent@Acts:5:4 @ While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.«

tcent@Acts:5:5 @ When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and died. And great fear came upon all who heard of it.

tcent@Acts:5:8 @ Peter said to her, »Tell me whether you sold the land for such and such a price.« And she said, »Yes, that was the price.«

tcent@Acts:5:15 @ so that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and pallets, so that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

tcent@Acts:5:21 @ And when they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest and his associates came, they called the Council together, even all the Senate of the sons of Israel, and sent orders to the prison house for them to be brought.

tcent@Acts:5:31 @ God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior, to give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.

tcent@Acts:5:32 @ We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.«

tcent@Acts:5:36 @ For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.

tcent@Acts:5:37 @ After this man, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him; he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered.

tcent@Acts:5:38 @ So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will fail;

tcent@Acts:5:42 @ And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

tcent@Acts:6:1 @ Now in those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the native Hebrews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.

tcent@Acts:6:5 @ And the statement pleased the whole congregation; and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch.

tcent@Acts:6:7 @ The word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.

tcent@Acts:6:9 @ Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, arose and disputed with Stephen.

tcent@Acts:6:11 @ Then they secretly induced men to say, »We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.«

tcent@Acts:6:15 @ And fixing their gaze on him, all who were sitting in the Council saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

tcent@Acts:7:2 @ And he said: »Hear me, brethren and fathers! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

tcent@Acts:7:5 @ But He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot of ground, and yet, even though he had no child, he promised that he would give it to him as a possession, and to his descendants after him.

tcent@Acts:7:21 @ and when he was placed outside, Pharaoh's daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.

tcent@Acts:8:1 @ Saul was consenting to his death.

tcent@Acts:8:6 @ The crowds with one accord were giving attention to what was said by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he did.

tcent@Acts:8:8 @ So there was much joy in that city.

tcent@Acts:8:9 @ Now there was a man named Simon, who had formerly practiced magic in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,

tcent@Acts:8:10 @ and they all, from the least to the greatest, gave attention to him, saying, »This man is what is called the Great Power of God.«

tcent@Acts:8:12 @ But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

tcent@Acts:8:13 @ Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip. And seeing signs and great miracles performed, he was amazed.

tcent@Acts:8:18 @ Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,

tcent@Acts:8:27 @ So he got up and went. And there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship,

tcent@Acts:8:28 @ and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.

tcent@Acts:8:30 @ So Philip ran up to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and asked, »Do you understand what you are reading?«

tcent@Acts:8:32 @ Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:

tcent@Acts:8:34 @ And the eunuch said to Philip, »Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?«

tcent@Acts:8:36 @ And as they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, »Look, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?«

tcent@Acts:8:40 @ But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

tcent@Acts:9:2 @ and asked for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

tcent@Acts:9:3 @ Now as he journeyed he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.

tcent@Acts:9:8 @ Saul got up from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

tcent@Acts:9:9 @ And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

tcent@Acts:9:10 @ Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, »Ananias.« And he said, »Here I am, Lord.«

tcent@Acts:9:11 @ And the Lord said to him, »Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying,

tcent@Acts:9:12 @ and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.«

tcent@Acts:9:13 @ But Ananias answered, »Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints at Jerusalem;

tcent@Acts:9:14 @ and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.«

tcent@Acts:9:17 @ So Ananias departed and entered the house. And after laying his hands on him said, »Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.«

tcent@Acts:9:18 @ And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight. And he got up and was baptized,

tcent@Acts:9:19 @ and he took food and was strengthened.

tcent@Acts:9:22 @ But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus by proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

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

tcent@Acts:9:25 @ but his disciples took him by night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.

tcent@Acts:9:26 @ When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

tcent@Acts:9:27 @ But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. And he declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

tcent@Acts:9:28 @ And he was with them moving about freely in Jerusalem, speaking out boldly in the name of the Lord.

tcent@Acts:9:29 @ And he was talking and arguing with the Hellenistic Jews; but they were seeking to kill him.

tcent@Acts:9:31 @ So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria enjoyed peace and was built up; and going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it continued to increase.

tcent@Acts:9:32 @ Now as Peter went through all those regions, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.

tcent@Acts:9:33 @ There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years and was paralyzed.

tcent@Acts:9:34 @ Peter said to him, »Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed.« Immediately he got up.

tcent@Acts:9:36 @ Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha (which is translated Dorcas). She was full of good works and acts of charity.

tcent@Acts:9:37 @ And at that time she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her body in an upper room.

tcent@Acts:9:38 @ Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him, »Please come to us without delay.«

tcent@Acts:9:39 @ So Peter rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing the tunics and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them.

tcent@Acts:10:1 @ At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort,

tcent@Acts:10:4 @ And he stared at him in terror, and said, »What is it, Lord?« And he said to him, »Your prayers and alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

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

tcent@Acts:10:10 @ And he became hungry and was desiring something to eat; but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance

tcent@Acts:10:15 @ And the voice came to him again a second time, »What God has cleansed, you must not call common.«

tcent@Acts:10:16 @ This happened three times, and immediately the thing was taken up to heaven.

tcent@Acts:10:17 @ Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, appeared at the gate.

tcent@Acts:10:18 @ They called out, asking whether Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.

tcent@Acts:10:19 @ While Peter was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him, »Behold, three men are looking for you.

tcent@Acts:10:21 @ Peter went down to the men and said, »Behold, I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason you have come?«

tcent@Acts:10:22 @ They said, »Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to hear what you have to say.«

tcent@Acts:10:24 @ On the following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

tcent@Acts:10:27 @ As he talked with him, he went in and found many people assembled.

tcent@Acts:10:28 @ And he said to them, »You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; but God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

tcent@Acts:10:29 @ So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. I ask then why you sent for me.«

tcent@Acts:10:30 @ Cornelius said, »Four days ago to this hour, I was praying in my house during the ninth hour; and behold, a man stood before me in shining garments,

tcent@Acts:10:31 @ and he said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God.

tcent@Acts:10:32 @ Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon who is called Peter; he is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’

tcent@Acts:10:37 @ You know what has happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:

tcent@Acts:10:38 @ how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

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

tcent@Acts:10:44 @ While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the message.

tcent@Acts:10:47 @ »Can anyone refuse the water for these people to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?«

tcent@Acts:10:48 @ And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.

tcent@Acts:11:5 @ »I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, something descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came down to me.

tcent@Acts:11:6 @ And when I looked into it I saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.

tcent@Acts:11:8 @ But I said, ‘No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

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

tcent@Acts:11:10 @ This happened three times, and all was drawn up again into heaven.

tcent@Acts:11:15 @ As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning.

tcent@Acts:11:17 @ So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could oppose God?«

tcent@Acts:11:18 @ When they heard this, they quieted down and glorified God, saying, »So then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance unto life.«

tcent@Acts:11:19 @ Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews.

tcent@Acts:11:21 @ The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

tcent@Acts:11:22 @ News of this reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

tcent@Acts:11:23 @ When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts;

tcent@Acts:11:24 @ for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great number of people were brought to the Lord.

tcent@Acts:11:25 @ So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul;

tcent@Acts:11:30 @ And this they did, sending it to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.

tcent@Acts:12:3 @ When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread.

tcent@Acts:12:4 @ When he had seized him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people.

tcent@Acts:12:5 @ So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church.

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

tcent@Acts:12:9 @ So he went out and followed him; and he did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.

tcent@Acts:12:10 @ When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went out and passed on through one street; and immediately the angel left him.

tcent@Acts:12:11 @ When Peter came to himself, he said, »Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.«

tcent@Acts:12:12 @ When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was also called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.

tcent@Acts:12:14 @ When she recognized Peter's voice, in her joy she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing in front of the gate.

tcent@Acts:12:15 @ They said to her, »You are out of your mind!« But she kept insisting that it was so. They said, »It is his angel.«

tcent@Acts:12:18 @ Now when day came, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.

tcent@Acts:12:20 @ Now he was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; and they came to him in a body, and having persuaded Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food.

tcent@Acts:12:23 @ Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.

tcent@Acts:12:25 @ And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their mission, taking along with them John, who was also called Mark.

tcent@Acts:13:1 @ Now in the church that was at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

tcent@Acts:13:2 @ While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, »Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.«

tcent@Acts:13:3 @ Then after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.

tcent@Acts:13:5 @ When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John as their helper.

tcent@Acts:13:6 @ When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, named Bar-Jesus,

tcent@Acts:13:7 @ who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

tcent@Acts:13:8 @ But Elymas the magician (for that is the meaning of his name) was opposing them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

tcent@Acts:13:9 @ But Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him

tcent@Acts:13:12 @ Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had happened, for he was amazed at the teaching of the Lord.

tcent@Acts:13:14 @ But they passed on from Perga and came to Pisidian Antioch. And on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.

tcent@Acts:13:19 @ When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years.

tcent@Acts:13:21 @ Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

tcent@Acts:13:23 @ From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised.

tcent@Acts:13:25 @ And as John was completing his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

tcent@Acts:13:26 @ »Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation.

tcent@Acts:13:28 @ Though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed.

tcent@Acts:13:29 @ When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.

tcent@Acts:13:33 @ he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm:

tcent@Acts:13:34 @ As for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to decay, he spoke in this way:

tcent@Acts:13:36 @ For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers and saw decay;

tcent@Acts:13:42 @ As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people begged that these things might be spoken to them the next Sabbath.

tcent@Acts:13:43 @ When the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.

tcent@Acts:13:45 @ But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted what was spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

tcent@Acts:13:46 @ Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, »It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first. Since you reject it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

tcent@Acts:13:47 @ For so the Lord has commanded us:

tcent@Acts:13:48 @ When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord; and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

tcent@Acts:13:50 @ But the Jews incited the devout women of high standing and the leading men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district.

tcent@Acts:14:5 @ When an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them,

tcent@Acts:14:8 @ At Lystra there was a man sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from birth, who had never walked.

tcent@Acts:14:12 @ Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, because he was the chief speaker, they called Hermes.

tcent@Acts:14:13 @ The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds.

tcent@Acts:14:14 @ But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out

tcent@Acts:14:16 @ In past generations he allowed all the nations to go their own ways;

tcent@Acts:14:17 @ yet he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.«

tcent@Acts:14:19 @ But Jews came there from Antioch and Iconium; and having won over the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

tcent@Acts:14:20 @ But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and entered the city. And the next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe.

tcent@Acts:14:23 @ And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they believed.

tcent@Acts:14:24 @ They passed through Pisidia, and came into Pamphylia.

tcent@Acts:15:2 @ And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question.

tcent@Acts:15:3 @ So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, reporting the conversion of the Gentiles, and they gave great joy to all the brethren.

tcent@Acts:15:8 @ And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he also did to us;

tcent@Acts:15:11 @ But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.«

tcent@Acts:15:12 @ All the assembly kept silent; and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

tcent@Acts:15:14 @ Simeon has related how God first showed his concern by taking from the Gentiles a people for his name.

tcent@Acts:15:15 @ With this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written,

tcent@Acts:15:21 @ For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath.«

tcent@Acts:15:22 @ Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren,

tcent@Acts:15:25 @ it has seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

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

tcent@Acts:15:32 @ And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, encouraged the brethren with many words and strengthened them.

tcent@Acts:15:35 @ But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

tcent@Acts:15:36 @ After some days Paul said to Barnabas, »Let us return and visit the brethren in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are.«

tcent@Acts:15:37 @ Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark, with them.

tcent@Acts:15:39 @ There arose such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.

tcent@Acts:15:40 @ But Paul chose Silas and left, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.

tcent@Acts:16:1 @ And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer; but his father was a Greek,

tcent@Acts:16:2 @ and he was well spoken of by the brethren who were in Lystra and Iconium.

tcent@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted this man to accompany him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

tcent@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 in Jerusalem.

tcent@Acts:16:5 @ So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in numbers daily.

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

tcent@Acts:16:8 @ so passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas.

tcent@Acts:16:9 @ A vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing and begging him, and saying, »Come over to Macedonia and help us.«

tcent@Acts:16:11 @ So putting out to sea from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;

tcent@Acts:16:13 @ and on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had come together.

tcent@Acts:16:14 @ A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, who was a worshiper of God, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.

tcent@Acts:16:16 @ It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave-girl who had a spirit of divination. She brought her owners much profit by fortune-telling.

tcent@Acts:16:18 @ She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, »I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!« And it came out at that very moment.

tcent@Acts:16:19 @ But when her owners saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities,

tcent@Acts:16:24 @ Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

tcent@Acts:16:25 @ But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,

tcent@Acts:16:26 @ and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened.

tcent@Acts:16:27 @ When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

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

tcent@Acts:16:33 @ He took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his family.

tcent@Acts:16:35 @ But when it was day, the magistrates sent their police, saying, »Release those men.«

tcent@Acts:16:36 @ And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, »The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Therefore come out now and go in peace.«

tcent@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, »They have beaten us publicly, without trial, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now cast us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out.«

tcent@Acts:16:39 @ So they came and apologized to them, and they took them out and asked them to leave the city.

tcent@Acts:17:1 @ Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

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

tcent@Acts:17:4 @ And some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas; as did a large number of the God-fearing Greeks and not a few of the leading women.

tcent@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews were jealous, and taking some wicked men from the market place, they formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; they attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the people.

tcent@Acts:17:6 @ When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brethren before the city authorities, shouting, »These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

tcent@Acts:17:7 @ and Jason has welcomed them, and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.«

tcent@Acts:17:9 @ And when they had taken a pledge from Jason and the others, they let them go.

tcent@Acts:17:10 @ The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

tcent@Acts:17:13 @ But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there too, agitating and stirring up the crowds.

tcent@Acts:17:14 @ Then the brethren immediately sent Paul out to go as far as the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained there.

tcent@Acts:17:15 @ Now those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they left.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:17:17 @ So he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Greeks, and in the market place every day with those who happened to be there.

tcent@Acts:17:18 @ And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. Some said, »What would this idle babbler wish to say?« Others, »He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities,«—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.

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

tcent@Acts:17:25 @ nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all men life and breath and everything.

tcent@Acts:17:28 @ as even some of your own poets have said,

tcent@Acts:17:31 @ because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and of this he has given proof to all men by raising him from the dead.«

tcent@Acts:18:3 @ and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them, and they worked, for by trade they were tentmakers.

tcent@Acts:18:4 @ And every Sabbath he was reasoning in the synagogue, and trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.

tcent@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

tcent@Acts:18:6 @ But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, »Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.«

tcent@Acts:18:7 @ Then he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

tcent@Acts:18:12 @ But while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack upon Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,

tcent@Acts:18:14 @ But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, »If it were a matter of wrong or of vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you;

tcent@Acts:18:19 @ They came to Ephesus, and he left them there. Now he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

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

tcent@Acts:18:24 @ Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the scriptures.

tcent@Acts:18:26 @ And he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

tcent@Acts:18:28 @ for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, proving by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

tcent@Acts:19:1 @ While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples.

tcent@Acts:19:4 @ Paul said, »John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.«

tcent@Acts:19:9 @ But when some were stubborn and disbelieved, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them, and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus.

tcent@Acts:19:10 @ This took place for two years, so that all who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

tcent@Acts:19:12 @ so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and diseases left them and the evil spirits went out.

tcent@Acts:19:16 @ And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered all of them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

tcent@Acts:19:17 @ This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.

tcent@Acts:19:21 @ Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, »After I have been there, I must also see Rome.«

tcent@Acts:19:22 @ And having sent into Macedonia two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

tcent@Acts:19:26 @ And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made with hands are no gods at all.

tcent@Acts:19:27 @ Not only is there danger that this trade of ours fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be regarded as worthless and that she whom all of Asia and the world worship will even be dethroned from her magnificence.«

tcent@Acts:19:29 @ The city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, dragging along Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's traveling companions from Macedonia.

tcent@Acts:19:31 @ Some of the Asiarchs also, who were friends of his, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.

tcent@Acts:19:32 @ Now some were shouting one thing, some another; for the assembly was in confusion, and most of the people did not know why they had come together.

tcent@Acts:19:34 @ But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all with one voice shouted, »Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!«

tcent@Acts:19:36 @ Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash.

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

tcent@Acts:19:39 @ But if you want anything further, it shall be settled in the lawful assembly.

tcent@Acts:19:40 @ As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of today's events. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it.«

tcent@Acts:19:41 @ After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.

tcent@Acts:20:1 @ After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and when he had exhorted them and taken his leave of them, he set out for Macedonia.

tcent@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 decided to return through Macedonia.

tcent@Acts:20:4 @ He was accompanied by Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

tcent@Acts:20:5 @ These went on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas.

tcent@Acts:20:6 @ But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days came to them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.

tcent@Acts:20:9 @ And there was a young man named Eutychus sitting in the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep. And as Paul talked on and on, he was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:20:14 @ And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.

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

tcent@Acts:20:18 @ And when they came to him, he said to them: »You yourselves know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day that I set foot in Asia,

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

tcent@Acts:20:24 @ But I do not consider my life of any account nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

tcent@Acts:20:28 @ Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which he purchased with the blood of his Own.

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

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:21:8 @ On the next day we left and came to Caesarea, and entering the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him.

tcent@Acts:21:10 @ As we were staying there for some days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

tcent@Acts:21:14 @ And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, »The will of the Lord be done.«

tcent@Acts:21:16 @ And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing us to the house of Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

tcent@Acts:21:27 @ When the seven days were almost over, the Jews from Asia, upon seeing him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd and laid hands on him,

tcent@Acts:21:28 @ crying out, »Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching all men everywhere against our people and our law and this place; and besides he also brought Greeks into the temple, and he has defiled this holy place.«

tcent@Acts:21:30 @ Then all the city was aroused, and the people rushed together, and taking hold of Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the gates were shut.

tcent@Acts:21:31 @ While they were trying to kill him, a report came up to the commander of the Roman cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.

tcent@Acts:21:33 @ Then the commander came up and arrested him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done.

tcent@Acts:21:34 @ Some in the crowd shouted one thing, and some another; and as he could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.

tcent@Acts:21:35 @ When he came to the steps, he was actually carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob;

tcent@Acts:21:37 @ As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the commander, »May I say something to you?« And he said, »Do you know Greek?

tcent@Acts:21:38 @ Then you are not the Egyptian who some time ago stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?«

tcent@Acts:21:40 @ When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the steps, motioned to the people with his hand; and when there was a great hush, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

tcent@Acts:22:3 @ »I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated under Gamaliel, strictly according to the law of our fathers, being zealous for God just as you all are today.

tcent@Acts:22:5 @ as also the high priest and all the Council of the elders can testify. From them I also received letters to the brethren, and started off for Damascus in order to bring even those who were there to Jerusalem as prisoners to be punished.

tcent@Acts:22:6 @ »As I made my journey and drew near to Damascus, about noon a bright light from heaven suddenly flashed around me.

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

tcent@Acts:22:10 @ And I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Get up and go on into Damascus, and there you will be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.’

tcent@Acts:22:11 @ But since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me and came into Damascus.

tcent@Acts:22:12 @ »A certain Ananias, a devout man according to the Law, and well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there,

tcent@Acts:22:14 @ Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth.

tcent@Acts:22:16 @ Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’

tcent@Acts:22:17 @ »When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance

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

tcent@Acts:22:20 @ When the blood of Stephen your witness was shed, I also was standing by and approving, and keeping the garments of those who were killing him.’

tcent@Acts:22:23 @ And as they were crying out and throwing off their cloaks and tossing dust into the air,

tcent@Acts:22:24 @ the commander ordered him to be brought into the barracks, and commanded him to be examined by scourging so that he might find out the reason why they were shouting against him that way.

tcent@Acts:22:25 @ But when they stretched him out with 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?«

tcent@Acts:22:28 @ The commander answered, »I bought this citizenship for a large sum.« Paul said, »But I was born a citizen.«

tcent@Acts:22:29 @ So those who were about to examine him withdrew from him immediately; and the commander also was afraid when he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had put him in chains.

tcent@Acts:22:30 @ But on the next day, wishing to know for certain why he had been accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and all the Council to assemble, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

tcent@Acts:23:2 @ The high priest Ananias commanded those standing beside him to strike him on the mouth.

tcent@Acts:23:3 @ Then Paul said to him, »God shall strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and yet contrary to the law you order me to be struck?«

tcent@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.’«

tcent@Acts:23:7 @ When he said this, a dissension broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

tcent@Acts:23:9 @ There occurred a great uproar; and some of the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and began to argue heatedly, saying, »We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?«

tcent@Acts:23:10 @ The dispute became so violent that the commander was afraid Paul would be torn to pieces by them and ordered the troops to go down and take him away from them by force, and bring him into the barracks.

tcent@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.«

tcent@Acts:23:12 @ When it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

tcent@Acts:23:14 @ They went to the chief priests and the elders and said, »We have bound ourselves under a solemn oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

tcent@Acts:23:15 @ You therefore, along with the council, give notice now to the commander 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.«

tcent@Acts:23:17 @ Paul called one of the centurions and said, »Take this young man to the commander; for he has something to tell him.«

tcent@Acts:23:18 @ So he took him and brought him to the commander and said, »Paul the prisoner called me and asked me to bring this young man to you, since he has something to tell you.«

tcent@Acts:23:19 @ The commander took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, »What is it that you have to tell me?«

tcent@Acts:23:20 @ And he said, »The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down tomorrow to the Council, as though they were going to inquire somewhat more thoroughly about him.

tcent@Acts:23:23 @ Then he called two of the centurions and said, »At the third hour of the night get ready two hundred soldiers with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go as far as Caesarea.

tcent@Acts:23:26 @ »Claudius Lysias, to His Excellency, Governor Felix: greetings.

tcent@Acts:23:27 @ This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came upon them with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen.

tcent@Acts:23:29 @ I found that he was accused over questions about their Law, but there was no accusation against him deserving death or imprisonment.

tcent@Acts:23:30 @ And when I was informed that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, also instructing his accusers to bring charges against him before you.«

tcent@Acts:23:34 @ When he had read the letter, he asked from what province he was, and when he learned that he was from Cilicia,

tcent@Acts:24:1 @ After five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders, with an attorney named Tertullus, and they brought their charges against Paul before the governor.

tcent@Acts:24:2 @ And when Paul was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying to Felix: »Since through you we have enjoyed much peace, and since by your provision, reforms are introduced on behalf of this nation,

tcent@Acts:24:9 @ The Jews also joined in the attack, asserting that these things were so.

tcent@Acts:24:11 @ Since you can easily verify that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.

tcent@Acts:24:18 @ As I was doing this, they found me purified in the temple, without any crowd or uproar. But there were some Jews from Asia—

tcent@Acts:24:22 @ But Felix, having a more exact knowledge about the Way, put them off, saying, »When Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide your case.«

tcent@Acts:24:24 @ But some days later Felix came with Drusilla, his wife who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Acts:24:25 @ But as he was discussing righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix became frightened and said, »Go away for the present, and when I find time I will summon you.«

tcent@Acts:24:26 @ At the same time, he was hoping that money would be given him by Paul. So he sent for him often and conversed with him.

tcent@Acts:24:27 @ But when two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.

tcent@Acts:25:3 @ as a favor to them, to have Paul transferred to Jerusalem, for they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.

tcent@Acts:25:4 @ Festus answered that Paul was being kept at Caesarea, and that he himself intended to go there shortly.

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

tcent@Acts:25:13 @ Now when a few days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and paid their respects to Festus.

tcent@Acts:25:14 @ While they were spending many days there, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, »There is a man who was left as a prisoner by Felix;

tcent@Acts:25:15 @ and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him, asking for sentence against him.

tcent@Acts:25:16 @ I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand over any man before the accused meets his accusers face to face and has an opportunity to make his defense against the charges.

tcent@Acts:25:18 @ When the accusers stood up, they did not charge him of such crimes as I had expected,

tcent@Acts:25:19 @ but they simply had some points of dispute with him about their own religion and about a dead man, Jesus, whom Paul asserted to be alive.

tcent@Acts:25:20 @ Being at a loss how to investigate such matters, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there stand trial on these matters.

tcent@Acts:25:23 @ So on the next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the audience room with the high ranking officers and the prominent men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

tcent@Acts:25:25 @ But I found that he had done nothing deserving of death; and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I decided to send him.

tcent@Acts:25:26 @ But I have nothing definite about him to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him before you all and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the investigation has taken place, I may have something to write.

tcent@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him.«

tcent@Acts:26:4 @ So then, all the Jews know my manner of life from my youth up, which from the beginning was spent among my own nation and at Jerusalem.

tcent@Acts:26:5 @ They have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that I lived as a Pharisee according to the strictest sect of our religion.

tcent@Acts:26:7 @ the promise to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly serve God night and day. And for this hope, O King, I am being accused by Jews.

tcent@Acts:26:9 @ I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

tcent@Acts:26:10 @ And that is just what I did in Jerusalem; I not only shut up many of the saints in prison, by authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.

tcent@Acts:26:11 @ And as I punished them often in all the synagogues, I tried to force them to blaspheme; and being furiously enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

tcent@Acts:26:12 @ »On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests.

tcent@Acts:26:19 @ »So, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

tcent@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.

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

tcent@Acts:26:24 @ And as he was saying this in his defense, Festus said in a loud voice, »Paul, you are out of your mind! Your great learning is driving you mad.«

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:26:29 @ And Paul said, »Whether in a short or a long time, 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.«

tcent@Acts:26:31 @ and when they had gone aside, they began talking to one another, saying, »This man is not doing anything worthy of death or imprisonment.«

tcent@Acts:27:1 @ When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan cohort named Julius.

tcent@Acts:27:2 @ And embarking in a ship from Adramyttium, which was about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put out to sea, accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica.

tcent@Acts:27:5 @ When we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.

tcent@Acts:27:8 @ We sailed along it with difficulty and came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.

tcent@Acts:27:9 @ As much time had been lost, and the voyage was now dangerous because the fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,

tcent@Acts:27:11 @ But the centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the owner of the ship than by what was being said by Paul.

tcent@Acts:27:12 @ Because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.

tcent@Acts:27:14 @ But before very long there rushed down from the land a violent wind, called the northeaster;

tcent@Acts:27:15 @ and when the ship was caught in it and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.

tcent@Acts:27:18 @ The next day as we were being violently storm-tossed, they began to throw the cargo overboard;

tcent@Acts:27:20 @ When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was raging on us, all hope of our being saved was finally abandoned.

tcent@Acts:27:24 @ and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

tcent@Acts:27:25 @ So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen exactly as I have been told.

tcent@Acts:27:27 @ But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to sense that they were approaching land.

tcent@Acts:27:29 @ Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.

tcent@Acts:27:30 @ But as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship and had let down the lifeboat into the sea, on the pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,

tcent@Acts:27:33 @ As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, »Today is the fourteenth day that you have been in suspense and without food, having taken nothing.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:27:41 @ But striking a sandbar they ran the vessel aground; the bow stuck fast and remained immovable, and the stern was broken up by the pounding of the surf.

tcent@Acts:27:42 @ The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape.

tcent@Acts:28:1 @ When we had been brought safely through, then we found out that the island was called Malta.

tcent@Acts:28:2 @ The natives showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold.

tcent@Acts:28:3 @ But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.

tcent@Acts:28:4 @ When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, »No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, justice has not allowed him to live.«

tcent@Acts:28:6 @ They waited, expecting him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead; but after they had waited a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

tcent@Acts:28:8 @ It happened that the father of Publius was lying in bed sick with recurrent fever and dysentery; and Paul went in to see him and after he had prayed, he laid his hands on him and healed him.

tcent@Acts:28:9 @ When this had happened, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured.

tcent@Acts:28:11 @ After three months we set sail in a ship which had wintered in the island, an Alexandrian ship, with the Twin Brothers as figurehead.

tcent@Acts:28:15 @ And the brethren, when they heard of us, came from there as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.

tcent@Acts:28:16 @ And when we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier that guarded him.

tcent@Acts:28:17 @ After three days Paul called together the local leaders of the Jews; and when they had gathered, he said to them, »Brethren, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

tcent@Acts:28:18 @ And when they had examined me, they were willing to release me because there was no ground for putting me to death.

tcent@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar—not that I had any charge to bring against my own nation.

tcent@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.«

tcent@Acts:28:21 @ They said to him, »We have not received letters from Judea concerning you, and none of the brethren who have come here has reported or spoken anything bad about you.

tcent@Acts:28:28 @ Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.«

tcent@Romans:1:3 @ concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,

tcent@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,

tcent@Romans:1:10 @ asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last find the way to come to you.

tcent@Romans:1:13 @ I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have some harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

tcent@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

tcent@Romans:1:17 @ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, »The just shall live by faith.«

tcent@Romans:1:19 @ for what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

tcent@Romans:1:20 @ For since the creation of the world his invisible nature, even his eternal power and deity, has been clearly seen, being understood by the things that have been made. So they are without excuse;

tcent@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 foolish hearts were darkened.

tcent@Romans:1:26 @ For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural.

tcent@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.

tcent@Romans:1:28 @ And since they did not see fit to retain the knowledge of God, God gave them over to a base mind, to do what ought not to be done.

tcent@Romans:1:30 @ slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

tcent@Romans:2:1 @ Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge another; for in whatever point you pass judgment on him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.

tcent@Romans:2:17 @ But if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law and boast of your relation to God

tcent@Romans:2:23 @ You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

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

tcent@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law; but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

tcent@Romans:2:26 @ So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

tcent@Romans:3:1 @ Then what advantage has the Jew, or what is the value of circumcision?

tcent@Romans:3:4 @ Certainly not! Let God be true, though every man a liar. As it is written:

tcent@Romans:3:7 @ But if through my falsehood God's truthfulness abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?

tcent@Romans:3:8 @ Why not say – as we are being slanderously reported as saying and as some claim that we say—»Let us do evil that good may come«? Their condemnation is just.

tcent@Romans:3:10 @ As it is written:

tcent@Romans:3:21 @ But now the righteousness of God has been revealed apart from law, although the law and the prophets bear witness to it,

tcent@Romans:3:25 @ whom God put forward as an atoning sacrifice by his blood, to be received through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over sins committed beforehand;

tcent@Romans:3:26 @ and it was to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

tcent@Romans:3:27 @ Where then is our boasting? It is excluded. On what law? On the law of works? No, but on the law of faith.

tcent@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found?

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

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

tcent@Romans:4:4 @ Now to him who works, his wages are not reckoned as a gift but as his due.

tcent@Romans:4:5 @ And to one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

tcent@Romans:4:9 @ Is this blessedness only upon the circumcised, or also upon the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

tcent@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it reckoned to him? Was it after he had been circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before he was circumcised.

tcent@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be reckoned to them.

tcent@Romans:4:12 @ And he is also the father of the circumcised who are not only circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith which our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

tcent@Romans:4:13 @ The promise to Abraham and his descendants, that he would be heir of the world, was not through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

tcent@Romans:4:14 @ For if those who are of the law are to be the heirs, faith has no value and the promise is void,

tcent@Romans:4:17 @ (as it is written, »I have made you the father of many nations«) in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls things that do not exist as though they did.

tcent@Romans:4:18 @ In hope, he believed against hope, so that he became the father of many nations; as he had been told, »So shall your descendants be.«

tcent@Romans:4:19 @ And he did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb.

tcent@Romans:4:20 @ He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

tcent@Romans:4:21 @ being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.

tcent@Romans:4:22 @ That is why it was »reckoned to him as righteousness.«

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

tcent@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered to death for our sins and was raised for our justification.

tcent@Romans:5:5 @ And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

tcent@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so death spread to all men, because all men sinned.

tcent@Romans:5:13 @ For sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted when there is no law.

tcent@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

tcent@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man's trespass many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

tcent@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 gift following many trespasses brings justification.

tcent@Romans:5:17 @ For if, by the one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.)

tcent@Romans:5:18 @ So then, as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

tcent@Romans:5:19 @ For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

tcent@Romans:5:20 @ Law came in, that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

tcent@Romans:5:21 @ so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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

tcent@Romans:6:6 @ We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

tcent@Romans:6:7 @ For he who has died has been freed from sin.

tcent@Romans:6:9 @ For we know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.

tcent@Romans:6:12 @ Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you obey its passions.

tcent@Romans:6:13 @ Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

tcent@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one to obey as slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

tcent@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking in human terms, because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you once yielded your members to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your members to righteousness for holiness.

tcent@Romans:6:21 @ But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death.

tcent@Romans:7:1 @ Do you not know, brethren—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?

tcent@Romans:7:2 @ For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of her husband.

tcent@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 was raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit to God.

tcent@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.

tcent@Romans:7:6 @ But now, by dying to what once held us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

tcent@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, »You shall not covet.«

tcent@Romans:7:9 @ I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

tcent@Romans:7:10 @ The very commandment which was to bring life I found to be death to me.

tcent@Romans:7:13 @ Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But it was sin, working death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful beyond measure.

tcent@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.

tcent@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law could not do, in that it was weakened through the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin: he condemned sin in the flesh,

tcent@Romans:8:8 @ and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

tcent@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;

tcent@Romans:8:22 @ We know that the whole creation has been groaning in birth pangs together until now.

tcent@Romans:8:23 @ And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

tcent@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

tcent@Romans:8:34 @ Who is he who condemns? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who is also interceding for us.

tcent@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written:

tcent@Romans:9:2 @ that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.

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

tcent@Romans:9:8 @ In other words, it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are reckoned as descendants.

tcent@Romans:9:12 @ she was told, »The older will serve the younger.«

tcent@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written,

tcent@Romans:9:18 @ Therefore he has mercy on whom he wills, and he hardens the heart of whom he wills.

tcent@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,

tcent@Romans:9:24 @ even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?

tcent@Romans:9:25 @ As indeed he says in Hosea:

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

tcent@Romans:9:29 @ And as Isaiah said:

tcent@Romans:9:31 @ but Israel, who pursued the law of righteousness, has not attained that law.

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

tcent@Romans:9:33 @ as it is written:

tcent@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness based on faith says, »Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’« (that is, to bring Christ down)

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

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

tcent@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for

tcent@Romans:10:19 @ Again I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says,

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

tcent@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?—

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

tcent@Romans:11:8 @ as it is written:

tcent@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? Certainly not! But through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous.

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

tcent@Romans:11:13 @ Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry

tcent@Romans:11:16 @ If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole lump is holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

tcent@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

tcent@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast only by faith. So do not be proud, but stand in awe.

tcent@Romans:11:25 @ I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

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

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

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

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

tcent@Romans:11:33 @ Oh, the depth of the riches and of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out!

tcent@Romans:12:1 @ I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

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

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

tcent@Romans:12:16 @ Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.

tcent@Romans:12:18 @ If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

tcent@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore he who resists the authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

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

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

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

tcent@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far gone, the day is at hand. Let us then cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.

tcent@Romans:13:13 @ Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in quarreling and jealousy.

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

tcent@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats despise him who does not, and let not him who does not eat pass judgment on him who eats; for God has accepted him.

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

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

tcent@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another anymore, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in our brother’s way.

tcent@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.

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

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

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

tcent@Romans:15:2 @ Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

tcent@Romans:15:3 @ For even Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, »The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.«

tcent@Romans:15:4 @ For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

tcent@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore, welcome one another, just as Christ also welcomed you, to the glory of God.

tcent@Romans:15:8 @ For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised to show God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,

tcent@Romans:15:9 @ and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:

tcent@Romans:15:15 @ But I have written very boldly to you on some points, so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from God,

tcent@Romans:15:17 @ Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.

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

tcent@Romans:15:19 @ by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

tcent@Romans:15:20 @ And so I have made it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on another man's foundation,

tcent@Romans:15:21 @ but as it is written:

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

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

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

tcent@Romans:15:27 @ They were pleased to do it, and indeed they are in debt to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings.

tcent@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever she has need from you, for she has been a helper of many and of myself also.

tcent@Romans:16:5 @ greet also the church that meets in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert of Asia for Christ.

tcent@Romans:16:6 @ Greet Mary, who has worked hard for you.

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

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

tcent@Romans:16:14 @ Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them.

tcent@Romans:16:15 @ Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

tcent@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has become known to all, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.

tcent@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

tcent@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, who is my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, our brother.

tcent@Romans:16:25 @ Now to him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages

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

tcent@1Corinthians:1:6 @ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

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

tcent@1Corinthians:1:12 @ What I mean is this, that each one of you says, »I am of Paul,« and »I of Apollos,« and »I of Cephas,« and »I of Christ.«

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

tcent@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:29 @ so that no flesh may boast before God.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:31 @ therefore, as it is written, »Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.«

tcent@1Corinthians:2:3 @ I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling,

tcent@1Corinthians:2:4 @ and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

tcent@1Corinthians:2:6 @ Yet we do speak a wisdom among the mature, a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and which God destined for our glory before the ages.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But, as it is written,

tcent@1Corinthians:2:10 @ God has revealed them to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:1 @ But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as carnal men, as infants in Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord assigned to each one.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If any man's work which he has built on it survives, he will receive a reward.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:3:21 @ So then let no one boast of men. For all things are yours,

tcent@1Corinthians:3:22 @ whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future; all belong to you,

tcent@1Corinthians:4:1 @ This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts. Then every man will receive his praise from God.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who regards you as different? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

tcent@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For, I think that God has exhibited us apostles last of all, like men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

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

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

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: a man has his father's wife.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to have mourned? Let the one who has done this be removed from your midst.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit, and have already passed judgment on the one who has committed this, as if I were present.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:4 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,

tcent@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?

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

tcent@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;

tcent@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is an immoral person, or greedy, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent to try trivial cases?

tcent@1Corinthians:6:4 @ So if you have disputes about such matters, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?

tcent@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

tcent@1Corinthians:6:12 @ »All things are lawful for me,« but not all things are helpful. »All things are lawful for me,« but I will not be mastered by anything.

tcent@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, »The two shall become one flesh.«

tcent@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that all men were as I myself am. But each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:8 @ But I say to the unmarried and to the widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

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

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

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:7:17 @ Only, let each one lead the life which the Lord has assigned to him, and in which God has called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Each one should remain in the state in which he was called.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For he who was called in the Lord as a slave is the Lord's freedman; likewise he who was free when called is Christ's slave.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:24 @ Brethren, let each one remain with God in that condition in which he was called.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Now concerning virgins, I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will have troubles in this flesh, and I am trying to spare you.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:29 @ I mean, brethren, the appointed time has grown very short; so that from now on, those who have wives should live as though they had none,

tcent@1Corinthians:7:30 @ and those who mourn, as though they were not mourning; and those who rejoice, as though they were not rejoicing; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;

tcent@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it. For the form of this world is passing away.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:7:33 @ but a married man is concerned about the affairs of the world, how he may please his wife,

tcent@1Corinthians:7:34 @ and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman, and the virgin, is concerned about the affairs of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but the married woman is concerned about the affairs of the world, how she may please her husband.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:36 @ But if any man thinks that he is not acting properly toward his betrothed, if she is past her youth, and if it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let them marry.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:37 @ But he who stands firm in his heart, being under no constraint, but has control over his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many »gods« and many »lords«),

tcent@1Corinthians:8:7 @ However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, being accustomed to idols, eat food as really sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

tcent@1Corinthians: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.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

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

tcent@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk?

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

tcent@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me. I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion. For woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!

tcent@1Corinthians:9:20 @ To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the law I became as one under the law—though not being myself under the law—so that I might win those under the law.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those who are without law, I became as one without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without the law.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:26 @ Therefore I do not run aimlessly. I do not box as a man beating the air.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:1 @ For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea;

tcent@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, »The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play.«

tcent@1Corinthians:10:8 @ We must not indulge in immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:9 @ We must not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:10 @ Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man. And God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to sensible men; judge for yourselves what I say.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, »This has been offered in sacrifice,« then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who informed you and for conscience' sake—

tcent@1Corinthians:10:33 @ just as I try to please all men in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:1 @ Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as if her head were shaved.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:9 @ neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For as woman was made from man, so also man is born of woman. And all things are from God.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

tcent@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same way he took the cup also after supper, saying, »This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.«

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

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:12:11 @ But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as he wills.

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

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

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:12:20 @ As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then those having gifts of healings, helps, administrations, and those speaking in various kinds of tongues.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:2 @ If I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous or boastful, it is not arrogant

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

tcent@1Corinthians:13:10 @ but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:14:7 @ If even lifeless things, such as the flute or the harp, do not give a distinction in the notes, how will any one know what is played?

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

tcent@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What is the outcome then, brethren? When you come together, each one has a hymn, or a teaching, or a revelation, or a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:14:35 @ If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

tcent@1Corinthians:15:4 @ that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

tcent@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:6 @ After that he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:8 @ And last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared to me also.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:18 @ Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all rule and all authority and power.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

tcent@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.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,

tcent@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But someone will ask, »How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?«

tcent@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man was from the earth, of dust; the second man is from heaven.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:48 @ As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:54 @ When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that is written:

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

tcent@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you must also do.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of every week, each one of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not want to see you now just in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:10 @ Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you with nothing to fear, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the other brethren, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:15 @ You know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brethren,

tcent@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the lord, with the church that is in their house.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:5 @ For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:7 @ And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:1:14 @ as you have understood us in part, that you can be proud of us just as we can be of you, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:15 @ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have a double benefit.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:17 @ When I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or do I make my plans in a fleshly manner so that in the same breath I say, »Yes, Yes« and »No, No«?

tcent@2Corinthians:1:18 @ But as surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For as many as are the promises of God, in him they are Yes. And so through him we speak our Amen to the glory of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:21 @ Now it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us;

tcent@2Corinthians:1:22 @ he has put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I had confidence in all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if any one has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:6 @ Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:10 @ Any one whom you forgive, I also forgive. What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Now when I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God; but as men of sincerity, as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you?

tcent@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from ourselves; but our competence is from God,

tcent@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:7 @ Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was,

tcent@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness exceed it in glory.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what was fading away came with glory, much more is the glory of that which lasts.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:13 @ We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of the radiance that was fading away.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:4 @ In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

tcent@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.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, yet our inner nature is being renewed day by day.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:5 @ Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:9 @ So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not again commending ourselves to you, but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you may have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:15 @ And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:5:19 @ that is, God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:6:4 @ But as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, distresses,

tcent@2Corinthians:6:8 @ through glory and dishonor, evil report and good report; true, yet regarded as impostors;

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

tcent@2Corinthians:6:10 @ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:11 @ Our mouth has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians. Our heart is opened wide.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:13 @ Now in a fair exchange—I speak as to my children—open wide your hearts also.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

tcent@2Corinthians:6:15 @ What harmony has Christ with Belial? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

tcent@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,

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

tcent@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.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:9 @ now I rejoice, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance; for you became sorrowful as God intended, so that you suffered no loss through us.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For behold what this very thing, godly sorrow, has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what readiness to see justice done! At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

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

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

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

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

tcent@2Corinthians:8:5 @ And they did not do as we expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:6 @ So we urged Titus that as he had previously made a beginning, he would also complete in you this work of grace.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But 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 work of grace also.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I am not speaking this as a command, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that through his poverty you might become rich.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:8:13 @ For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened;

tcent@2Corinthians:8:15 @ As it is written,

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

tcent@2Corinthians:8:23 @ As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; and as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Therefore openly before the churches, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about you.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the Macedonians, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year; and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:3 @ But I am sending the brethren so that our boasting about you may not prove vain in this case, so that you may be ready, as I said you would be;

tcent@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Each one must give just as he has purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written,

tcent@2Corinthians:9:10 @ Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will multiply the harvest of your righteousness.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beg you that when I am present I may not have to be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:3 @ For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war as the flesh does.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:7 @ You look at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ’s, so also are we.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I shall not be put to shame.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:9 @ I do not wish to seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we do not dare to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But when they measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:13 @ But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the field God has apportioned to us, a field that reaches even to you.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you; we were the first to come even as far as you with the gospel of Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We do not go beyond limits by boasting in other men’s labors, but our hope is that as your faith grows, our sphere among you may be greatly enlarged,

tcent@2Corinthians:10:16 @ so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast of work already done in another man's territory.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:17 @ But, »Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.«

tcent@2Corinthians:11:2 @ I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:5 @ I think that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles.

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

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

tcent@2Corinthians:11:12 @ And what I am doing, I will also continue to do, in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things of which they boast.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:13 @ For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I repeat, let no one think me foolish; but even if you do, receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I am saying I am not saying as the Lord would, but as a fool, in this confidence of boasting.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:18 @ Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:21 @ To my shame, I must say that we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast about.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:24 @ Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:25 @ Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the open sea.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me,

tcent@2Corinthians:11:33 @ but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped his hands.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I must go on boasting, though there is nothing to be gained by it; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:4 @ was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, which a man is not permitted to tell.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:5 @ On behalf of such a man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And to keep me from being too elated because of the abundance of revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he said to me, »My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.« Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But be that as it may, I did not burden you myself. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery!

tcent@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I warned those who sinned in the past and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present the second time, that if I come again I will not spare them—

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

tcent@Galatians:1:6 @ I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel—

tcent@Galatians:1:9 @ As we have said before, so I say again now, if any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be accursed!

tcent@Galatians:1:10 @ Am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

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

tcent@Galatians:1:12 @ For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

tcent@Galatians:1:14 @ and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.

tcent@Galatians:1:15 @ But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased

tcent@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus.

tcent@Galatians:1:18 @ Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days.

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

tcent@Galatians:1:22 @ I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ;

tcent@Galatians:2:1 @ Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.

tcent@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up because of a revelation; and I set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did this privately to those who were of reputation, for fear that I was running or had run my race in vain.

tcent@Galatians:2:3 @ But even Titus, who was with me, was not compelled to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.

tcent@Galatians:2:4 @ But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had slipped in to spy out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.

tcent@Galatians:2:7 @ but on the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised

tcent@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

tcent@Galatians:2:10 @ All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.

tcent@Galatians:2:11 @ But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

tcent@Galatians:2:13 @ The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

tcent@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of them all, »If you, being a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?

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

tcent@Galatians:3:4 @ Did you suffer so many things in vain—if it really was in vain?

tcent@Galatians:3:6 @ Even so Abraham »believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.«

tcent@Galatians:3:15 @ To give a human example, brethren: even though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it.

tcent@Galatians:3:16 @ Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, »And to seeds,« as referring to many, but rather to one, »And to your seed,« that is, Christ.

tcent@Galatians:3:17 @ What I mean is this: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.

tcent@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

tcent@Galatians:3:19 @ Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

tcent@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scripture has bound everyone under sin, so that that what was promised by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

tcent@Galatians:3:24 @ So the law was our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

tcent@Galatians:3:25 @ But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

tcent@Galatians:4:1 @ I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of all the estate;

tcent@Galatians:4:5 @ to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

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

tcent@Galatians:4:10 @ You observe days and months and seasons and years!

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

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

tcent@Galatians:4:14 @ and though my fleshly condition was a trial to you, you did not despise or scorn me, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus himself.

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

tcent@Galatians:4:23 @ But the son by the slave was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.

tcent@Galatians:4:29 @ But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now.

tcent@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.«

tcent@Galatians:5:1 @ It was for freedom that Christ has set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

tcent@Galatians:5:8 @ This persuasion did not come from him who calls you.

tcent@Galatians:5:11 @ But if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.

tcent@Galatians:5:13 @ For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

tcent@Galatians:5:14 @ For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, »You shall love your neighbor as yourself.«

tcent@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

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

tcent@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, even if anyone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.

tcent@Galatians:6:4 @ But let each one test his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in his neighbor.

tcent@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

tcent@Galatians:6:13 @ For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.

tcent@Galatians:6:14 @ But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

tcent@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

tcent@Ephesians:1:4 @ just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before him. In love

tcent@Ephesians:1:5 @ he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,

tcent@Ephesians:1:7 @ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace

tcent@Ephesians:1:9 @ he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

tcent@Ephesians:1:10 @ as a plan for the fullness of the times, to unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth. In him

tcent@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason, ever since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

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

tcent@Ephesians:1:18 @ I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

tcent@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of his might

tcent@Ephesians:2:1 @ And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,

tcent@Ephesians:2:7 @ so that in the coming ages he might show the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Ephesians:2:9 @ not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

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

tcent@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this reason I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—

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

tcent@Ephesians:3:3 @ that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.

tcent@Ephesians:3:5 @ which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

tcent@Ephesians:3:7 @ Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace which was given me by the working of his power.

tcent@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

tcent@Ephesians:3:9 @ and to make plain to everyone the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;

tcent@Ephesians:3:11 @ This was according to the eternal purpose which he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

tcent@Ephesians:3:13 @ Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.

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

tcent@Ephesians:3:19 @ and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

tcent@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

tcent@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call,

tcent@Ephesians:4:7 @ But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

tcent@Ephesians:4:9 @ (In saying, »He ascended,« what does it mean except that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

tcent@Ephesians:4:10 @ He who descended is also he who ascended far above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.)

tcent@Ephesians:4:11 @ And he gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

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

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

tcent@Ephesians:4:15 @ But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into him, who is the head, into Christ,

tcent@Ephesians:4:17 @ Now this I affirm and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds,

tcent@Ephesians:4:21 @ assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus.

tcent@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore, laying aside falsehood, each one of you must speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

tcent@Ephesians:4:28 @ He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but rather must labor, doing useful work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with those in need.

tcent@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building others up according to the need of the moment, that it may impart grace to those who hear.

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

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

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

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

tcent@Ephesians:5:5 @ For of this you can be sure, that no immoral, impure, or covetous person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

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

tcent@Ephesians:5:10 @ and try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

tcent@Ephesians:5:14 @ For this reason it is said,

tcent@Ephesians:5:15 @ Be careful, then, how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise,

tcent@Ephesians:5:22 @ Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord.

tcent@Ephesians:5:23 @ For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is himself the Savior.

tcent@Ephesians:5:24 @ As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject to their husbands in everything.

tcent@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

tcent@Ephesians:5:26 @ that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

tcent@Ephesians:5:28 @ So husbands ought also to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

tcent@Ephesians:5:29 @ For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,

tcent@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.«

tcent@Ephesians:5:33 @ However, each one of you must also love his wife as himself, and the wife must see that she respects her husband.

tcent@Ephesians:6:5 @ Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;

tcent@Ephesians:6:6 @ not in the way of eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.

tcent@Ephesians:6:7 @ Render service with good will, as to the Lord, and not to men,

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

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

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

tcent@Philippians:1:12 @ Now I want you to know, brethren, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,

tcent@Philippians:1:13 @ so that my imprisonment for Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,

tcent@Philippians:1:20 @ as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be ashamed in anything, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

tcent@Philippians:1:29 @ For to you it has been granted for the sake of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for his sake,

tcent@Philippians:2:1 @ Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

tcent@Philippians:2:5 @ Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

tcent@Philippians:2:6 @ who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

tcent@Philippians:2:8 @ And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to deatheven death on a cross.

tcent@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 salvation with fear and trembling;

tcent@Philippians:2:13 @ for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

tcent@Philippians:2:15 @ so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

tcent@Philippians:2:16 @ holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

tcent@Philippians:2:17 @ But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

tcent@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know that he has proved his worth, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.

tcent@Philippians:2:23 @ Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;

tcent@Philippians:2:26 @ for he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was ill.

tcent@Philippians:2:27 @ Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

tcent@Philippians:2:30 @ because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.

tcent@Philippians:3:4 @ though I myself have reasons for confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:

tcent@Philippians:3:5 @ circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

tcent@Philippians:3:6 @ as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.

tcent@Philippians:3:7 @ But whatever was gain to me, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

tcent@Philippians:3:8 @ More than that, I count everything to be 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 rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

tcent@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.

tcent@Philippians:4:3 @ Yes, and I ask you also, true yoke-fellow, to help these women who have struggled at my side in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

tcent@Philippians:4:7 @ And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Philippians:4:10 @ I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you had no opportunity.

tcent@Philippians:4:14 @ Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.

tcent@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account.

tcent@Philippians:4:18 @ I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

tcent@Colossians:1:6 @ which has come to you, just as in all the world it is bearing fruit and growing, even as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth;

tcent@Colossians:1:7 @ as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,

tcent@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason also, since the day we heard 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,

tcent@Colossians:1:10 @ so that you will live a life worthy of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

tcent@Colossians:1:12 @ giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

tcent@Colossians:1:13 @ For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,

tcent@Colossians:1:19 @ For all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell in him

tcent@Colossians:1:22 @ yet he has now reconciled you in his fleshly body through death, in order to present you before him holy and blameless and beyond reproach—

tcent@Colossians:1:23 @ if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a minister.

tcent@Colossians:1:25 @ Of this church I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,

tcent@Colossians:1:26 @ the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints.

tcent@Colossians:2:2 @ that their hearts may be encouraged as they are knit together in love, to have all the riches of assured understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ himself,

tcent@Colossians:2:3 @ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

tcent@Colossians:2:6 @ Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him,

tcent@Colossians:2:7 @ rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, overflowing with thanksgiving.

tcent@Colossians:2:14 @ having canceled the certificate of debt, which stood against us with its decrees. He took what was hostile away from us, nailing it to the cross.

tcent@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one disqualify you for the prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, puffed up without cause by his fleshly mind,

tcent@Colossians:2:19 @ and not holding fast to the head, from whom the whole body, nourished and held together by its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.

tcent@Colossians:2:20 @ If with Christ you died to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you still belonged to it, do you submit to regulations such as,

tcent@Colossians:2:21 @ »Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!«

tcent@Colossians:2:23 @ These indeed have an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but they are of no value against fleshly indulgence.

tcent@Colossians:3:5 @ Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire and greed, which is idolatry.

tcent@Colossians:3:12 @ So, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;

tcent@Colossians:3:13 @ bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord forgave you, so you also must forgive.

tcent@Colossians:3:18 @ Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

tcent@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

tcent@Colossians:3:22 @ Slaves, in everything obey those who are your masters according to the flesh, not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.

tcent@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,

tcent@Colossians:3:24 @ knowing that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

tcent@Colossians:3:25 @ For he who does wrong will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

tcent@Colossians:4:1 @ Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

tcent@Colossians:4:3 @ And pray for us as well, that God may open a door to us for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains,

tcent@Colossians:4:4 @ so that I may make it clear, as I ought to speak.

tcent@Colossians:4:6 @ Let your speech always be full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.

tcent@Colossians:4:9 @ and with him Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of yourselves. They will tell you everything that has taken place here.

tcent@Colossians:4:10 @ My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you his greetings, and also Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you have received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him.)

tcent@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, who is one of your number, a servant of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

tcent@Colossians:4:13 @ I testify for him that he has worked hard for you and for those who are in Laodicea and Hierapolis.

tcent@Colossians:4:14 @ Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas send you greetings.

tcent@Colossians:4:16 @ When this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you read the letter from Laodicea.

tcent@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.

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ For we know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you;

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we have no need to say anything.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brethren, that our visit to you was not in vain;

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but after we had already suffered and been shamefully treated in Philippi, as you know, we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in the face of great opposition.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please men, but to please God who tests our hearts.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For, as you know, we never used flattery nor a pretext for greed—God is witness—

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, though we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ for you know how, as a father with his own children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea, for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to all men,

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved; with the result that they always fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction; and so it came to pass, as you know.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason, when I could endure it no longer, I also sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be in vain.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, just as we long to see you—

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith;

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ as we night and day keep praying most earnestly that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we do for you,

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Finally, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, just as you are doing, you do so more and more.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ not in the passion of lust like the heathen, who do not know God;

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ and that no man transgress and wrong his brother in this matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you,

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

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ 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, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ Now as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ While people are saying, »Peace and safety,« then destruction will come upon them suddenly as labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

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

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But, since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with him.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ But we ask you, brethren, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:17 @ pray without ceasing,

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ But test everything; hold fast to what is good.

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

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ Therefore we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you are enduring.

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

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he comes to be glorified in his saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed—because our testimony to you was believed.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ For this reason God sends upon them a strong delusion so that they will believe what is false,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in wickedness.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it did also with you,

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and earn their own bread to eat.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary of doing good.

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

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

tcent@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines,

tcent@1Timothy:1:6 @ For some men have wandered away from these things and turned aside to fruitless discussion,

tcent@1Timothy:1:7 @ wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.

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

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

tcent@1Timothy:1:14 @ and the grace of our Lord was overflowing for me, with the faith and love that are found in Christ Jesus.

tcent@1Timothy:1:16 @ But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience for an example to those who would believe in him for eternal life.

tcent@1Timothy:1:20 @ Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.

tcent@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave himself as a ransom for all—the testimony given at the proper time.

tcent@1Timothy:2:7 @ For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

tcent@1Timothy:2:10 @ but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess godliness.

tcent@1Timothy:2:13 @ For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

tcent@1Timothy:2:14 @ And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

tcent@1Timothy:3:1 @ It is a trustworthy saying: if any one aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task.

tcent@1Timothy:3:6 @ He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

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

tcent@1Timothy:3:13 @ For those who have served well as deacons gain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

tcent@1Timothy:4:2 @ through the pretensions of liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron,

tcent@1Timothy:4:8 @ For bodily training is of some value, but godliness is of value in all things, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

tcent@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you through prophetic utterance when the council of elders laid their hands on you.

tcent@1Timothy:5:1 @ Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers,

tcent@1Timothy:5:2 @ older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, in all purity.

tcent@1Timothy:5:4 @ But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice their religion in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

tcent@1Timothy:5:5 @ Now she who is a real widow, and who has been left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.

tcent@1Timothy:5:6 @ But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.

tcent@1Timothy:5:7 @ Command these things as well, so that they may be above reproach.

tcent@1Timothy:5:8 @ If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

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

tcent@1Timothy:5:12 @ thus bringing condemnation, because they have set aside their first pledge.

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

tcent@1Timothy:5:15 @ For some have already turned aside to follow Satan.

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

tcent@1Timothy:5:19 @ Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.

tcent@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.

tcent@1Timothy:6:1 @ Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be spoken against.

tcent@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, but they must serve them all the better, because those who benefit by their service are believers and beloved.

tcent@1Timothy:6:4 @ he is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, which produce envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions,

tcent@1Timothy:6:16 @ who alone has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.

tcent@1Timothy:6:19 @ storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that life which is life indeed.

tcent@1Timothy:6:20 @ O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge,

tcent@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day.

tcent@2Timothy:1:4 @ As I recall your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy.

tcent@2Timothy:1:5 @ For I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am sure is in you as well.

tcent@2Timothy:1:6 @ For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

tcent@2Timothy:1:8 @ So do not be ashamed to testify of our Lord or of me his prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God,

tcent@2Timothy:1:9 @ who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and the grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity,

tcent@2Timothy:1:10 @ but has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

tcent@2Timothy:1:11 @ For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher.

tcent@2Timothy:1:12 @ For this reason I also suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.

tcent@2Timothy:1:14 @ Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure that has been entrusted to you.

tcent@2Timothy:1:15 @ You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

tcent@2Timothy:1:16 @ May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains;

tcent@2Timothy:1:17 @ but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me—

tcent@2Timothy:2:3 @ Share in hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

tcent@2Timothy:2:4 @ No soldier in active service gets entangled in civilian affairs, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

tcent@2Timothy:2:5 @ Also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules.

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

tcent@2Timothy:2:18 @ who have gone astray from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and upset the faith of some.

tcent@2Timothy:2:21 @ If anyone cleanses himself from what is ignoble, he will be a vessel for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

tcent@2Timothy:3:1 @ But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress.

tcent@2Timothy:3:2 @ For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

tcent@2Timothy:3:4 @ treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

tcent@2Timothy:3:8 @ Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.

tcent@2Timothy:3:9 @ But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

tcent@2Timothy:3:11 @ persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, yet the Lord rescued me from them all.

tcent@2Timothy:3:14 @ But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, knowing from whom you learned it,

tcent@2Timothy:4:2 @ preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and exhort, with great patience and instruction.

tcent@2Timothy:4:4 @ and will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

tcent@2Timothy:4:6 @ For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.

tcent@2Timothy:4:10 @ for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

tcent@2Timothy:4:13 @ When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and the books, especially the parchments.

tcent@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was rescued from the lion's mouth.

tcent@2Timothy:4:20 @ Erastus remained at Corinth, but Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.

tcent@Titus:1:5 @ For this reason I left you in Crete, that you might straighten out what was left unfinished, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you,

tcent@Titus:1:7 @ For the overseer must be blameless as God's steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not violent, not fond of sordid gain,

tcent@Titus:1:8 @ but hospitable, a lover of what is good, master of himself, upright, holy, and self-controlled;

tcent@Titus:1:9 @ he must hold firm to the sure word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to refute those who contradict it.

tcent@Titus:2:1 @ But as for you, teach what befits sound doctrine.

tcent@Titus:2:9 @ Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not to talk back to them,

tcent@Titus:2:11 @ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

tcent@Titus:2:12 @ training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sober, upright, and godly lives in this present age,

tcent@Titus:3:3 @ For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another.

tcent@Titus:3:5 @ he saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but because of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit,

tcent@Titus:3:12 @ When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

tcent@Titus:3:13 @ Do your best to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing.

tcent@Titus:3:14 @ Our people must also learn to devote themselves to good deeds, so that they may help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.

tcent@Philemon:1:9 @ yet for love's sake I rather appeal to yousince I am such a person as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus

tcent@Philemon:1:11 @ Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is useful both to you and to me.

tcent@Philemon:1:15 @ Perhaps this is the reason he was separated from you for a while, that you might have him back for ever,

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

tcent@Philemon:1:17 @ So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me.

tcent@Philemon:1:18 @ If he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.

tcent@Philemon:1:23 @ Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,

tcent@Philemon:1:24 @ and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

tcent@Hebrews:1:1 @ In the past God spoke to our fathers by the prophets at many times and in various ways,

tcent@Hebrews:1:2 @ but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the world.

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

tcent@Hebrews:1:13 @ But to which of the angels has he ever said,

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

tcent@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

tcent@Hebrews:2:6 @ But there is a place where someone has testified,

tcent@Hebrews:2:8 @ Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. As it is, we do not yet see everything subject to him.

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

tcent@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting that he, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.

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

tcent@Hebrews:2:14 @ 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,

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

tcent@Hebrews:3:2 @ He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house.

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

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

tcent@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold fast to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

tcent@Hebrews:3:7 @ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:

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

tcent@Hebrews:3:17 @ And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

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

tcent@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.

tcent@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: »And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.«

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

tcent@Hebrews:4:10 @ for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his.

tcent@Hebrews:4:14 @ Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

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

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

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

tcent@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no one takes the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was.

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

tcent@Hebrews:5:6 @ as he says also in another place,

tcent@Hebrews:5:7 @ In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his godly fear.

tcent@Hebrews:5:8 @ Although he was a Son, he learned obedience from what he suffered;

tcent@Hebrews:5:10 @ being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

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

tcent@Hebrews:6:5 @ and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,

tcent@Hebrews:6:9 @ Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are confident of better things in your case, things that accompany salvation.

tcent@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love which you have shown for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.

tcent@Hebrews:6:11 @ And we desire each one of you to show the same diligence in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end,

tcent@Hebrews:6:19 @ We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,

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

tcent@Hebrews:7:4 @ See how great he was! Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the spoils.

tcent@Hebrews:7:8 @ In this case tithes are received by mortal men, but in that case by one of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.

tcent@Hebrews:7:10 @ for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.

tcent@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if perfection could have been through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not one designated according to the order of Aaron?

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

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

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

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

tcent@Hebrews:7:20 @ And it was not without an oath.

tcent@Hebrews:7:22 @ Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

tcent@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.

tcent@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.

tcent@Hebrews:8:5 @ They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary; for when Moses was about to erect the tabernacle, he was instructed by God, saying, »See that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.«

tcent@Hebrews:8:6 @ But as it is, he has obtained a ministry which is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.

tcent@Hebrews:8:13 @ When he said, »A new covenant,« he has made the first obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

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

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

tcent@Hebrews:9:8 @ The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the holy place had not yet been disclosed as long as the outer tabernacle was still standing.

tcent@Hebrews:9:10 @ since they relate only to food and drink and various washings – regulations for the flesh imposed until the time of reformation.

tcent@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, he entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation.

tcent@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,

tcent@Hebrews:9:15 @ For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

tcent@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a will is in force only when somebody has died, since it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.

tcent@Hebrews:9:18 @ This is why even the first covenant was not ratified without blood.

tcent@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, »This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.«

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

tcent@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor was it that he should offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood not his own.

tcent@Hebrews:9:26 @ For then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

tcent@Hebrews:9:27 @ And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment,

tcent@Hebrews:10:1 @ For since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come and not 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.

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

tcent@Hebrews:10:8 @ When he said above, »You did not desire, nor did you take pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings« (these are offered according to the law),

tcent@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

tcent@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

tcent@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful;

tcent@Hebrews:10:25 @ not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the Day drawing near.

tcent@Hebrews:10:28 @ Anyone who has rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

tcent@Hebrews:10:29 @ How much severer punishment do you think a man will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as an unclean thing the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

tcent@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.

tcent@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

tcent@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

tcent@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

tcent@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

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

tcent@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. For before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.

tcent@Hebrews:11:6 @ And without faith it is impossible to please God, for anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

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

tcent@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he lived in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise;

tcent@Hebrews:11:10 @ for he was looking forward to the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

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

tcent@Hebrews:11:12 @ 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.

tcent@Hebrews:11:16 @ But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

tcent@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son,

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

tcent@Hebrews:11:19 @ He considered that God was able to raise men even from the dead; from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.

tcent@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped as he leaned on the top of his staff.

tcent@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when he was at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites, and gave orders concerning his bones.

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

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

tcent@Hebrews:11:25 @ choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

tcent@Hebrews:11:26 @ He considered abuse suffered for the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.

tcent@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.

tcent@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch them.

tcent@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.

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

tcent@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection.

tcent@Hebrews:11:38 @ of whom the world was not worthy – wandering in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.

tcent@Hebrews:11:39 @ And all these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised,

tcent@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

tcent@Hebrews:12:2 @ fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

tcent@Hebrews:12:5 @ And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons? –

tcent@Hebrews:12:7 @ It is for discipline that you endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

tcent@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.

tcent@Hebrews:12:11 @ For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

tcent@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

tcent@Hebrews:12:19 @ and the blast of a trumpet, and the sound of a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further word be spoken to them.

tcent@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not endure the order that was given, »If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.«

tcent@Hebrews:12:21 @ The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, »I am trembling with fear.«

tcent@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the joyful assembly

tcent@Hebrews:12:26 @ Then his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, »Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also heaven.«

tcent@Hebrews:12:27 @ This phrase, »Yet once more,« indicates the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, in order that what cannot be shaken may remain.

tcent@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves are also in the body.

tcent@Hebrews:13:5 @ Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said, »I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you.«

tcent@Hebrews:13:11 @ For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.

tcent@Hebrews:13:16 @ Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

tcent@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 with joy, and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.

tcent@Hebrews:13:21 @ equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Hebrews:13:23 @ You should know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I will see you if he comes soon.

tcent@James:1:5 @ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

tcent@James:1:6 @ But he must 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.

tcent@James:1:10 @ and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like the flower of the grass he will pass away.

tcent@James:1:11 @ For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls and its beauty is destroyed. So will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

tcent@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

tcent@James:1:15 @ Then when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is full-grown, it brings forth death.

tcent@James:1:21 @ Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness, in humility receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

tcent@James:1:24 @ for he looks at himself and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like.

tcent@James:2:1 @ My brethren, show no favoritism as you hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@James:2:2 @ For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in shabby clothes,

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

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

tcent@James:2:8 @ If you really fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, »You shall love your neighbor as yourself,« you are doing well.

tcent@James:2:9 @ But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

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

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

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

tcent@James:2:14 @ What good is it, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has no works? Can such faith save him?

tcent@James:2:17 @ So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

tcent@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

tcent@James:2:22 @ You see that faith was working with his works, and faith was completed by works,

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

tcent@James:2:25 @ In the same way was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works, when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?

tcent@James:2:26 @ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

tcent@James:3:2 @ For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

tcent@James:3:5 @ So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.

tcent@James:3:7 @ For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.

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

tcent@James:3:15 @ This wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

tcent@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty or hypocrisy.

tcent@James:4:1 @ What causes quarrels and fights among you? Is it not your passions that are at war in your members?

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

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

tcent@James:4:5 @ Or do you think that the Scripture says without reason: »He jealously desires the Spirit which he has made to dwell in us«?

tcent@James:4:16 @ As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

tcent@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.

tcent@James:5:5 @ You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

tcent@James:5:10 @ As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

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

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

tcent@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.

tcent@1Peter:1:1 @ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen exiles in the Dispersion, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,

tcent@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has caused us to be born again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

tcent@1Peter:1:5 @ who are protected by God's power through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

tcent@1Peter:1:9 @ as you obtain the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

tcent@1Peter:1:10 @ As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you inquired and searched carefully,

tcent@1Peter:1:11 @ seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.

tcent@1Peter:1:12 @ It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look.

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

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

tcent@1Peter:1:17 @ If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your exile on earth.

tcent@1Peter:1:18 @ You know that you were redeemed from the futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold,

tcent@1Peter:1:20 @ He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

tcent@1Peter:1:25 @ And this is the word which was preached to you.

tcent@1Peter:2:3 @ for you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.

tcent@1Peter:2:4 @ As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen and precious in the sight of God—

tcent@1Peter:2:8 @ and, they stumble because they disobey the word—as they were desstined to do.

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

tcent@1Peter:2:12 @ Maintain good conduct among the Gentiles, so that in case they speak against you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.

tcent@1Peter:2:13 @ Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the supreme authority,

tcent@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.

tcent@1Peter:2:16 @ Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a covering for evil; live as servants of God.

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

tcent@1Peter:2:23 @ when he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he uttered no threats, but he trusted himself to him who judges justly.

tcent@1Peter:3:2 @ when they see your chaste and respectful behavior.

tcent@1Peter:3:6 @ just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children if you do what is right and are not frightened by any fear.

tcent@1Peter:3:7 @ Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with honor as the weaker partner, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

tcent@1Peter:3:8 @ Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble in spirit.

tcent@1Peter:3:15 @ but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and respect;

tcent@1Peter:3:22 @ who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels and authorities and powers subject to him.

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

tcent@1Peter:4:2 @ so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human lusts, but for the will of God.

tcent@1Peter:4:3 @ For you have spent enough time in the past doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

tcent@1Peter:4:6 @ For this reason the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they might live in the spirit according to the will of God.

tcent@1Peter:4:10 @ As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of God's varied grace.

tcent@1Peter:4:11 @ Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belongs the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

tcent@1Peter:4:15 @ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a troublesome meddler;

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

tcent@1Peter:5:1 @ So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ and a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed,

tcent@1Peter:5:2 @ shepherd the flock of God that is under your care, serving as overseers—not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness;

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

tcent@1Peter:5:7 @ Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.

tcent@1Peter:5:10 @ And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you.

tcent@1Peter:5:12 @ With the help of Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.

tcent@2Peter:1:1 @ Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

tcent@2Peter:1:3 @ His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and excellence.

tcent@2Peter:1:4 @ By these he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of lust, and become partakers of the divine nature.

tcent@2Peter:1:5 @ For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge,

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

tcent@2Peter:1:9 @ For whoever lacks these things is blind and shortsighted, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

tcent@2Peter:1:13 @ I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by way of reminder,

tcent@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the putting aside of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

tcent@2Peter:1:17 @ For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, »This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.«

tcent@2Peter:1:19 @ And we have the prophetic word made more sure, and you will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

tcent@2Peter:1:21 @ for no prophecy was ever made by the act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

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

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

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

tcent@2Peter:2:6 @ and if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly thereafter;

tcent@2Peter:2:7 @ and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men

tcent@2Peter:2:11 @ whereas angels, though greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.

tcent@2Peter:2:13 @ suffering wrong for their wrongdoing. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they carouse with you.

tcent@2Peter:2:14 @ They have eyes full of adultery, that never cease from sin; they entice unstable souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!

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

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

tcent@2Peter:2:17 @ These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm; for them the blackest darkness has been reserved.

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

tcent@2Peter:2:22 @ It has happened to them according to the true proverb, and,

tcent@2Peter:3:3 @ First of all you must understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days, with scoffing, following their own lusts

tcent@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, »Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.«

tcent@2Peter:3:5 @ They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and by means of water,

tcent@2Peter:3:6 @ through which the world at that time was destroyed, being deluged with water.

tcent@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

tcent@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with fire, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

tcent@2Peter:3:12 @ looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

tcent@2Peter:3:15 @ And regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you.

tcent@2Peter:3:16 @ He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

tcent@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your own steadfastness.

tcent@1John:1:1 @ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have touched, concerning the Word of life—

tcent@1John:1:2 @ the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and testify to it, and proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us—

tcent@1John:1:7 @ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

tcent@1John:2:6 @ he who says he abides in him ought to walk as he walked.

tcent@1John:2:8 @ Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.

tcent@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

tcent@1John:2:17 @ And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

tcent@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come; by this we know that it is the last hour.

tcent@1John:2:23 @ No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

tcent@1John:2:25 @ And this is what he has promised us—eternal life.

tcent@1John:2:27 @ But the anointing which you have received from him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as his anointing teaches you about all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, abide in him.

tcent@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

tcent@1John:3:1 @ See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God! And so we are! The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

tcent@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

tcent@1John:3:3 @ And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.

tcent@1John:3:6 @ No one who abides in him sins. No one who sins has either seen him or known him.

tcent@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, just as he is righteous.

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

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

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

tcent@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.

tcent@1John:3:15 @ Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

tcent@1John:3:17 @ But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?

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

tcent@1John:3:22 @ and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

tcent@1John:3:23 @ And this is his commandment: that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

tcent@1John:3:24 @ Now those who keep his commandments abide in him, and he in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

tcent@1John:4:2 @ By this you know the Spirit of God: every Spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

tcent@1John:4:3 @ and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, of which you have heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already.

tcent@1John:4:5 @ They are of the world and therefore speak as of the world, and the world listens to them.

tcent@1John:4:9 @ In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

tcent@1John:4:12 @ No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

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

tcent@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world.

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

tcent@1John:4:17 @ In this love is perfected among us, that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.

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

tcent@1John:4:20 @ If anyone 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.

tcent@1John:5:4 @ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

tcent@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God which he has borne witness of his Son.

tcent@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given of his Son.

tcent@1John:5:11 @ And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

tcent@1John:5:12 @ He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

tcent@1John:5:14 @ And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

tcent@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

tcent@1John:5:16 @ If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he will ask, and God will give him life for those whose sin is not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.

tcent@1John:5:18 @ We know that anyone born of God does not sin; but he who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.

tcent@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

tcent@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father.

tcent@2John:1:5 @ And now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.

tcent@2John:1:6 @ And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in love.

tcent@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

tcent@2John:1:9 @ Anyone who runs ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

tcent@3John:1:2 @ Beloved, I pray that you may be in good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

tcent@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

tcent@3John:1:12 @ Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

tcent@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, although I was very eager to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

tcent@Jude:1:4 @ For certain persons have crept in secretly, those who were long ago marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

tcent@Jude:1:6 @ And the angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, he has kept in eternal chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day,

tcent@Jude:1:7 @ just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in strange flesh, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

tcent@Jude:1:10 @ But these men revile whatever they do not understand; and the things that they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals do, by these things they are destroyed.

tcent@Jude:1:12 @ These are the men who are blemishes in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted;

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

tcent@Jude:1:14 @ It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, »Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of his holy ones,

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

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

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

tcent@Revelation:1:8 @ »I am the Alpha and the Omega,« says the Lord God, »who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.«

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

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

tcent@Revelation:1:12 @ Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,

tcent@Revelation:1:14 @ His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like a flame of fire;

tcent@Revelation:1:15 @ his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters;

tcent@Revelation:1:16 @ he held in his right hand seven stars, out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in its strength.

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

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

tcent@Revelation:2:7 @ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.’

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

tcent@Revelation:2:13 @ I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. And you hold fast to my name, and did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

tcent@Revelation:2:17 @ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna. And I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone which no one knows except him who receives it.’

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

tcent@Revelation:2:25 @ only hold fast what you have until I come.

tcent@Revelation:2:28 @ —just as I also have received from my Father; and I will give him the morning star.

tcent@Revelation:3:6 @ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

tcent@Revelation:3:11 @ I am coming soon; hold fast to what you have, so that no one may take your crown.

tcent@Revelation:3:13 @ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

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

tcent@Revelation:3:21 @ To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.

tcent@Revelation:3:22 @ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’«

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

tcent@Revelation:4:3 @ And he who sat there was like jasper and carnelian in appearance, and round the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.

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

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

tcent@Revelation:4:7 @ The first living creature was like a lion, the second creature like an ox, the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.

tcent@Revelation:4:8 @ And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to sing,

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

tcent@Revelation:5:3 @ And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it.

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

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

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

tcent@Revelation:6:1 @ Then I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals. And I heard one of the four living creatures say, as with a voice of thunder, »Come!«

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

tcent@Revelation:6:4 @ And out came a horse, bright red; its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that men should slay one another; and to him was given a great sword.

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

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

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

tcent@Revelation:6:13 @ and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind.

tcent@Revelation:6:14 @ The sky vanished like a scroll that is rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

tcent@Revelation:6:17 @ for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?«

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

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

tcent@Revelation:8:1 @ When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

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

tcent@Revelation:8:5 @ Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, voices, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

tcent@Revelation:8:7 @ The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

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

tcent@Revelation:8:12 @ The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them darkened. And a third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.

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

tcent@Revelation:9:1 @ And the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star which had fallen from heaven to earth; and he was given the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit.

tcent@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 on their foreheads.

tcent@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.

tcent@Revelation:9:8 @ their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth.

tcent@Revelation:9:9 @ They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.

tcent@Revelation:9:11 @ They have as king over them the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

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

tcent@Revelation:9:14 @ saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, »Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.«

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

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

tcent@Revelation:9:17 @ And this was how I saw the horses in my vision: the riders wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire and smoke and sulfur.

tcent@Revelation:9:18 @ A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.

tcent@Revelation:10:1 @ Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head; and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.

tcent@Revelation:10:2 @ He had a little scroll which was open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land,

tcent@Revelation:10:4 @ And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying, »Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.«

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

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

tcent@Revelation:10:10 @ I took the little scroll from the angel's hand and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; but when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.

tcent@Revelation:10:11 @ And I was told, »You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.«

tcent@Revelation:11:1 @ Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, »Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there.

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

tcent@Revelation:11:6 @ These have the power to shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

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

tcent@Revelation:11:8 @ And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

tcent@Revelation:11:13 @ And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

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

tcent@Revelation:11:19 @ Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant; and there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm.

tcent@Revelation:12:2 @ and she was with child, and she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.

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

tcent@Revelation:12:5 @ And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to his throne.

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

tcent@Revelation:12:7 @ And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back,

tcent@Revelation:12:8 @ but they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven.

tcent@Revelation:12:9 @ And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

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

tcent@Revelation:12:17 @ Then the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

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

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

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

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

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

tcent@Revelation:13:6 @ And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven.

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

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

tcent@Revelation:13:9 @ If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

tcent@Revelation:14:2 @ I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder, and the voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps.

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

tcent@Revelation:14:5 @ And no lie was found in their mouth; they are blameless.

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

tcent@Revelation:14:8 @ And another angel, a second, followed, saying, »Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all the nations drink the wine of her impure passion.«

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

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

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

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

tcent@Revelation:14:16 @ So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.

tcent@Revelation:14:18 @ Then another angel came out from the altar, the one who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, »Put in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, because its grapes are ripe.«

tcent@Revelation:14:20 @ And the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the wine press, as high as the horses' bridles for a distance of one thousand six hundred stadia.

tcent@Revelation:15:1 @ Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, because with them the wrath of God is finished.

tcent@Revelation:15:2 @ And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire and, standing beside the sea of glass, those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his name. They held harps of God

tcent@Revelation:15:5 @ After this I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of testimony in heaven was opened,

tcent@Revelation:15:6 @ and the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out of the temple, clothed in linen, clean and bright, and girded around their chests with golden sashes.

tcent@Revelation:15:8 @ And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

tcent@Revelation:16:2 @ So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and foul and loathsome sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshipped his image.

tcent@Revelation:16:8 @ The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to it to scorch men with fire.

tcent@Revelation:16:10 @ The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness; men gnawed their tongues in agony

tcent@Revelation:16:12 @ The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the East.

tcent@Revelation:16:13 @ And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs;

tcent@Revelation:16:18 @ And there were flashes of lightning and voices and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be on the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty.

tcent@Revelation:16:19 @ The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.

tcent@Revelation:16:21 @ Huge hailstones, about a hundred pounds each, fell from heaven upon men. And men cursed God for the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

tcent@Revelation:17:3 @ And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns.

tcent@Revelation:17:4 @ The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality,

tcent@Revelation:17:5 @ And on her forehead was written a name of mystery,

tcent@Revelation:17:7 @ And the angel said to me, »Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

tcent@Revelation:17:8 @ The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, because he was and is not and will come.

tcent@Revelation:17:10 @ And they are also seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while.

tcent@Revelation:17:11 @ The beast who was, and is not, is an eighth. He belongs to the seven and he goes to destruction.

tcent@Revelation:17:12 @ And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.

tcent@Revelation:17:13 @ These have one purpose and they give their power and authority to the beast.

tcent@Revelation:17:16 @ And the ten horns you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and burn her up with fire,

tcent@Revelation:17:17 @ for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and giving over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

tcent@Revelation:17:18 @ The woman that you saw is the great city which has dominion over the kings of the earth.«

tcent@Revelation:18:1 @ After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was made bright with his splendor.

tcent@Revelation:18:18 @ and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What city is like the great city?’

tcent@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name written on him which no one knows but himself.

tcent@Revelation:19:16 @ And he has on his robe and on his thigh a name written,
