riversident@Matthew:1:12 @ After the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel; Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel;

riversident@Matthew:1:17 @ So there were in all fourteen generations from Abraham to David, and fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian exile, and fourteen generations from the Babylonian exile to the Christ.

riversident@Matthew:1:20 @ But while he was thinking this over, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Matthew:1:21 @ She will bear a son and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

riversident@Matthew:1:23 @ "Behold the virgin will conceive and will bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel" (note:)which means, God is with us(:note).

riversident@Matthew:1:25 @ But he did not live with her as a husband until she had borne a son. He called his name Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:2:6 @ 'And thou, Bethlehem, land of Judah, art by no means least among the leaders of Judah; for from thee will come a leader who will shepherd my people Israel.' "

riversident@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and learned from them exactly the time of the star's appearance,

riversident@Matthew:2:9 @ After hearing the king, they journeyed on, and the star which they had seen in the East went before them until it came and stood over where the child was.

riversident@Matthew:2:13 @ After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph and said, "Rise up, and take the child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and be there until I tell you, for Herod will search for the child in order to kill him."

riversident@Matthew:2:18 @ "A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and bitter lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted because they are not."

riversident@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being directed in a dream he went away to the region of Galilee

riversident@Matthew:3:3 @ For this is he who was foretold through Isaiah the prophet when he said: 'The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.' "

riversident@Matthew:3:6 @ and were baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

riversident@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not think of saying to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you God is able out of these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

riversident@Matthew:3:16 @ Jesus, as soon as he was baptized, went up from the water, and the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and coming upon him.

riversident@Matthew:3:17 @ A voice from the heavens said, "This is my Son, the beloved in whom I delight."

riversident@Matthew:4:3 @ Then the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to turn into loaves of bread."

riversident@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the Devil took him with him to the holy city and placed him on the top of the temple

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

riversident@Matthew:4:11 @ Then the Devil left him, and angels came and waited upon him.

riversident@Matthew:4:13 @ Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum on the lake shore on the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,

riversident@Matthew:4:15 @ "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, road to the sea, country beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

riversident@Matthew:4:16 @ the people that sat in darkness saw a great light and upon those sitting in the land and shadow of death light dawned."

riversident@Matthew:4:18 @ As he was walking along the shore of the lake of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen;

riversident@Matthew:4:20 @ They at once left the nets and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:4:21 @ Going on from there, he saw two other brothers \'97 James the son of Zebedee and John his brother \'97 in their boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

riversident@Matthew:4:22 @ They at once left the boat and their father and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:4:23 @ Jesus went around through the whole of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.

riversident@Matthew:4:24 @ His fame spread out into all Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick with various diseases and those suffering from acute pain, demoniacs, lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

riversident@Matthew:4:25 @ Great crowds followed him from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from beyond the Jordan.

riversident@Matthew:5:1 @ SEEING the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he had seated himself his disciples came to him.

riversident@Matthew:7:28 @ When Jesus ended these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching.

riversident@Matthew:7:29 @ For he taught them like one who had authority, and not as their scribes taught.

riversident@Matthew:8:5 @ When Jesus had entered Capernaum there came to him a Centurion who implored his help.

riversident@Matthew:8:8 @ The Centurion answered, "Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but just speak the word and my servant will be cured.

riversident@Matthew:8:9 @ For I am a man, \'97 under authority, \'97 with soldiers under me, and I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

riversident@Matthew:8:10 @ When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said,

riversident@Matthew:8:13 @ Then Jesus said to the Centurion, His servant was healed that very hour.

riversident@Matthew:8:15 @ He touched her hand and the fever left her. Then she arose and waited upon him.

riversident@Matthew:8:16 @ When evening came, they brought to him many demoniacs and he cast out the spirits by a word, and all their sick he healed.

riversident@Matthew:8:18 @ When Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave directions to go over to the other side of the lake.

riversident@Matthew:8:24 @ Soon a great storm broke on the lake so that the boat was hidden under the waves; but he was sleeping.

riversident@Matthew:8:27 @ The men were astonished and said, "What sort of a person is this, whom even the winds and the lake obey?"

riversident@Matthew:8:28 @ When he arrived at the other side, the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two demoniacs coming out of the tombs. They were very fierce, so that no one was able to pass along that road.

riversident@Matthew:8:29 @ Suddenly they shouted, "Son of God, what have you to do with us? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

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

riversident@Matthew:8:33 @ The herdsmen fled and went away to the town and told everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.

riversident@Matthew:8:34 @ Then at once all the town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they begged him to depart from their neighborhood.

riversident@Matthew:9:2 @ They brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic,

riversident@Matthew:9:3 @ At once some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is speaking profane words."

riversident@Matthew:9:7 @ Thereupon he rose and went away to his house.

riversident@Matthew:9:8 @ The crowds that saw it were astonished and gave glory to God, who had given such power to men.

riversident@Matthew:9:9 @ As Jesus was passing along from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. Jesus said to him, and he arose and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:9:18 @ While Jesus was talking to them, a synagogue Director came and bowed down before him and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand upon her and she will live."

riversident@Matthew:9:21 @ For she said to herself, "If I touch only his cloak, I shall be healed."

riversident@Matthew:9:27 @ As Jesus was going along from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have pity on us, Son of David."

riversident@Matthew:9:32 @ As they were going out, a dumb man who was also a demoniac was brought to him.

riversident@Matthew:9:33 @ After the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke. The crowd wondered and said, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel."

riversident@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees said, "Through the Chief of the demons he casts out the demons."

riversident@Matthew:9:36 @ Seeing the crowds, he was touched with compassion for them, for they were torn and flung down like sheep that have no shepherd.

riversident@Matthew:10:2 @ The names of the twelve apostles are these: Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother,

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

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

riversident@Matthew:11:2 @ John had heard in prison of the doings of the Christ, and he sent by some of his disciples to ask,

riversident@Matthew:11:3 @ "Are you 'the Coming One' or are we to expect some other?"

riversident@Matthew:11:20 @ Then he began to reproach the cities in which most of his miracles had been done, because they had not repented:

riversident@Matthew:12:1 @ AT that time Jesus went on the Sabbath through the grain-fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain to eat.

riversident@Matthew:12:2 @ When the Pharisees saw it they said, "See, your disciples are doing what is not allowable on the Sabbath."

riversident@Matthew:12:10 @ A man was there with a withered hand. They asked Jesus, "Is it allowable to heal on the Sabbath?" \'97 so that they might have something to accuse him of.

riversident@Matthew:12:18 @ "Behold my servant whom I have chosen, the Beloved in whom my soul delights. I will put my spirit upon him and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

riversident@Matthew:12:19 @ He will not strive nor cry, nor will any one hear his voice in the streets.

riversident@Matthew:12:22 @ Then there was brought to Jesus a demoniac, blind and dumb. He healed him so that he spoke and saw.

riversident@Matthew:12:23 @ All the crowds were astonished and said, "Is not this man the Son of David?"

riversident@Matthew:12:24 @ The Pharisees when they heard it said, "This man casts out demons only through Beelzebul the Chief of the demons."

riversident@Matthew:12:47 @ Some one told him,

riversident@Matthew:13:1 @ ON that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the lake.

riversident@Matthew:13:2 @ Great crowds gathered to him so that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the crowd stood on the shore.

riversident@Matthew:13:3 @ He spoke at length to them in illustrations. he said,

riversident@Matthew:13:24 @ Another illustration he put before them. He said,

riversident@Matthew:13:31 @ Another illustration he put before them. He said,

riversident@Matthew:13:33 @ Another illustration he spoke to them.

riversident@Matthew:13:34 @ All of these things Jesus spoke to them in illustrations, and without an illustration he spoke nothing to them,

riversident@Matthew:13:35 @ to fulfill the words of the prophet when he said, "I will open my mouth in illustrations, I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world."

riversident@Matthew:13:36 @ Then leaving the crowds he came into the house, and his disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the illustration of the weeds of the field."

riversident@Matthew:13:53 @ When Jesus had finished these illustrations, he went away from that place.

riversident@Matthew:13:54 @ Then he came to his native place and taught them in their synagogue so that they were astonished and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miracles?

riversident@Matthew:13:55 @ Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

riversident@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had arrested John and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

riversident@Matthew:14:8 @ She, prompted by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."

riversident@Matthew:14:9 @ The king was grieved, but on account of his oaths and his guests he ordered it to be given her,

riversident@Matthew:14:10 @ and he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

riversident@Matthew:14:11 @ The head was brought in on a platter and was given to the girl and she bore it to her mother.

riversident@Matthew:14:13 @ Upon hearing of it, Jesus went away in a boat privately to an uninhabited place. But the people heard of it and followed him by land from the towns.

riversident@Matthew:14:14 @ As he got out of the boat, he saw a great crowd and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

riversident@Matthew:14:15 @ When evening had come on, his disciples came to him and said, "This is an uninhabited place and the time is already late; send away the crowd so that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food."

riversident@Matthew:14:19 @ Then he commanded the crowd to recline on the grass, and he took the five loaves and the two fishes and looked up to heaven and asked a blessing. Then he broke up the loaves and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples distributed to the crowd.

riversident@Matthew:14:22 @ Then he made his disciples get into the boat and go on across while he was dismissing the crowd.

riversident@Matthew:14:23 @ After dismissing the crowd, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray, When evening came, he was there alone.

riversident@Matthew:14:25 @ In the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking on the water.

riversident@Matthew:14:26 @ When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified, saying that it was a ghost, and they cried out with fear.

riversident@Matthew:14:27 @ But at once Jesus spoke to them and said,

riversident@Matthew:14:28 @ Peter answered, "Sir, if it is you, bid me to come to you on the water."

riversident@Matthew:14:29 @ Jesus said, Then Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:14:31 @ At once Jesus stretched out his hand and grasped him and said,

riversident@Matthew:14:33 @ Then the men in the boat bowed down to him and said, "Truly you are the Son of God."

riversident@Matthew:15:2 @ "Why do your disciples violate the tradition of our forefathers? For they do not wash their hands when they eat food."

riversident@Matthew:15:21 @ Leaving that place, Jesus retired into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

riversident@Matthew:15:22 @ Here a Canaanite woman of those parts came out and cried, "Sir, have pity on me, Son of David. My daughter is terribly tormented by a demon."

riversident@Matthew:15:29 @ On leaving there, Jesus came along by the lake of Galilee and went up on the mountain and sat down there.

riversident@Matthew:15:31 @ The crowd was astonished when they saw mutes talking, maimed men sound, lame men walking about, and blind men seeing, and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

riversident@Matthew:15:35 @ Then he told the crowd to recline on the ground,

riversident@Matthew:15:39 @ Then after dismissing the crowd he got into a boat and came into the region of Magadan.

riversident@Matthew:16:7 @ They were discussing this among themselves, saying, "It is because we have brought no bread."

riversident@Matthew:16:14 @ They said, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; others Jeremiah or some one of the prophets."

riversident@Matthew:16:16 @ Simon Peter said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

riversident@Matthew:16:20 @ Then he strictly charged his disciples not to tell any one that he was the Christ.

riversident@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time Jesus began to make plain to his disciples that he had to go away to Jerusalem, and suffer greatly from the elders and high priests and scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.

riversident@Matthew:17:1 @ Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain alone.

riversident@Matthew:17:2 @ There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as the light.

riversident@Matthew:17:4 @ Peter said to Jesus, "Sir, it is fine for us to be here. If you like, I will make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

riversident@Matthew:17:5 @ While he was speaking, a bright cloud suddenly overspread them and a voice issued from the cloud, "This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight. Hear him."

riversident@Matthew:17:6 @ The disciples on hearing this fell on their faces in great terror.

riversident@Matthew:17:8 @ When they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus himself alone.

riversident@Matthew:17:15 @ "Sir, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic and is in a very bad way. For often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

riversident@Matthew:17:18 @ Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and he came out of him and the boy was well from that hour.

riversident@Matthew:17:26 @ Upon his saying, "From those who are not," Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:19:1 @ WHEN Jesus had finished these words, he left Galilee and came within that part of Judaea beyond the Jordan.

riversident@Matthew:19:13 @ Then some little children were brought to him to have him lay his hands on them and pray. His disciples rebuked those who brought them.

riversident@Matthew:19:15 @ After laying his hands on them, he went away.

riversident@Matthew:20:17 @ As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve aside on the road and said to them,

riversident@Matthew:20:20 @ Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down to him and making a request of him.

riversident@Matthew:20:21 @ He said to her, She said to him, "Give the command for these two sons of mine to sit one on your right and one on your left in your kingdom."

riversident@Matthew:20:30 @ Two blind men were sitting at the side of the road, and when they heard that Jesus was passing, they cried out, "Sir, have pity on us, Son of David!"

riversident@Matthew:20:31 @ The crowd rebuked them and told them to be silent. But all the more they cried, "Sir, have pity on us, Son of David!"

riversident@Matthew:20:34 @ Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes, and at once they regained sight and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:21:5 @ "Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy king comes to thee, gentle and riding on an ass and on a colt, the foal of a beast of draught."

riversident@Matthew:21:7 @ and brought the ass and the colt, and spread on them their cloaks and seated him on them.

riversident@Matthew:21:9 @ The crowds that walked before and those that followed shouted, "God save the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! God in highest heaven save him!"

riversident@Matthew:21:12 @ Jesus went into the Temple courts and drove out all those who were selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were selling doves,

riversident@Matthew:21:15 @ When the high priests and the scribes saw the wonders that he did and the children shouting, "God save the Son of David!" they were angry

riversident@Matthew:21:19 @ and seeing a solitary fig tree at the roadside he went to it, but found on it nothing but leaves only. He said to it, The fig tree immediately withered up.

riversident@Matthew:21:20 @ Upon seeing this, the disciples were astonished and said, "How suddenly the fig tree withered up!"

riversident@Matthew:21:23 @ When he had gone into the Temple courts, the high priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing this, and who gave you this authority?"

riversident@Matthew:21:25 @ They debated among themselves, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

riversident@Matthew:21:41 @ They said to him, "He will put those miserable men to a miserable death, and will let out the vineyard to other grape-growers who will render him the fruits in their seasons."

riversident@Matthew:21:45 @ The high priests and the Pharisees listening to his illustrations knew that he was speaking about them.

riversident@Matthew:22:15 @ Then the Pharisees went and held a consultation how they could entrap him in talk.

riversident@Matthew:22:16 @ They sent to him their disciples with the Herodians and they said, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and that you are afraid of no one, for you do not regard the social standing of men.

riversident@Matthew:22:22 @ When they heard this, they wondered and left him and went away.

riversident@Matthew:22:23 @ On that day some Sadducees came to him asserting that there is no resurrection, and they asked him,

riversident@Matthew:22:26 @ So did the second and the third down to the seventh.

riversident@Matthew:22:28 @ In the resurrection, then, which of the seven will have the wife? For they all had her."

riversident@Matthew:22:33 @ The crowd on hearing this were amazed at his teaching.

riversident@Matthew:22:35 @ and one of them, a lawyer, in order to test him, asked,

riversident@Matthew:22:41 @ While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them a question,

riversident@Matthew:22:46 @ No one was able to answer him a word, and no one from that day dared ask him any more questions.

riversident@Matthew:24:3 @ While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, "Tell us when these things will be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?"

riversident@Matthew:26:5 @ But they said, "Not on the feast day, so that there may not be a riot among the people."

riversident@Matthew:26:6 @ When Jesus had come to Bethany and was in the house of Simon the leper,

riversident@Matthew:26:7 @ a woman came up to him, bringing an alabaster jar of costly ointment, and poured it on his head while he was reclining at table.

riversident@Matthew:26:8 @ On seeing this, the disciples were indignant and said, "Why this waste?

riversident@Matthew:26:14 @ Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the high priests

riversident@Matthew:26:17 @ On the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Where do you wish us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

riversident@Matthew:26:37 @ He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed.

riversident@Matthew:26:39 @ Then he went a little farther and fell on his face and prayed,

riversident@Matthew:26:42 @ Again a second time he went away and prayed,

riversident@Matthew:26:47 @ While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, sent by the high priests and elders of the people.

riversident@Matthew:26:48 @ The traitor had given them a sign, saying, "The one I kiss is he. Arrest him."

riversident@Matthew:26:49 @ Immediately he came up to Jesus and said, "Good evening, Rabbi," and kissed him affectionately.

riversident@Matthew:26:50 @ Jesus said to him, Then they came and laid their hands on Jesus and arrested him.

riversident@Matthew:26:51 @ Suddenly one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the High Priest, cutting off his ear.

riversident@Matthew:26:58 @ Peter followed him at a distance as far as the court of the High Priest, and went in and sat among the attendants to see the end.

riversident@Matthew:26:59 @ The high priests and the whole council sought for false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.

riversident@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus kept silence. The High Priest said to him, "I adjure you by the living God to tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."

riversident@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the High Priest rent his garments, saying, "Impious words! Why do we any longer need witnesses? See, you have now heard his impious words.

riversident@Matthew:26:71 @ When he had gone out into the gateway, another maid saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."

riversident@Matthew:26:73 @ After a little those who were standing there came up and said to Peter, "Truly you are one of them, for your accent proves it."

riversident@Matthew:27:1 @ WHEN morning came all the high priests and the elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put him to death.

riversident@Matthew:27:3 @ Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus had been condemned, was sorry and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the high priests and elders,

riversident@Matthew:27:6 @ The high priests took the money and said, "It is not proper to put it in with the consecrated gifts, since it is the price of blood."

riversident@Matthew:27:7 @ So after consultation they bought with it the potter's field for the burial of strangers.

riversident@Matthew:27:8 @ For this reason that field is called the "Field of Blood" to this day.

riversident@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled what was said through Jeremiah the prophet, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was priced, whom they priced from the sons of Israel,

riversident@Matthew:27:14 @ But Jesus did not answer even one word, so that the Governor was much astonished.

riversident@Matthew:27:15 @ At every feast the Governor was accustomed to release for the people one prisoner, whomever they chose.

riversident@Matthew:27:16 @ There was at that time a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

riversident@Matthew:27:19 @ While he was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him a message, "Do not have anything to do with that righteous man. For I have suffered much to-day in a dream because of him."

riversident@Matthew:27:23 @ He said, "Why, what wrong has he done?" But they kept shouting furiously, "Have him crucified!"

riversident@Matthew:27:25 @ All the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"

riversident@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus with them into the castle and gathered about him all the battalion.

riversident@Matthew:27:28 @ They stripped him and put on him a crimson cloak,

riversident@Matthew:27:29 @ twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head, put a reed into his right hand, and, going down on their knees before him, made sport of him, shouting, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

riversident@Matthew:27:31 @ After they had finished making sport of him, they took off from him the crimson cloak and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucifixion.

riversident@Matthew:27:32 @ As they were going out, they chanced upon a man from Cyrene by the name of Simon. This man they impressed to carry the cross of Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:33 @ On coming to a place called Golgotha (note:)that is, Skull Place(:note),

riversident@Matthew:27:38 @ At the same time there were crucified along with him two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.

riversident@Matthew:27:40 @ and saying, "You who can pull down the Temple and in three days build it up, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

riversident@Matthew:27:41 @ In the same way the high priests, making sport of him, along with the scribes and elders, kept saying,

riversident@Matthew:27:43 @ He trusted in God, let him deliver him now if he wants him, for he said, 'I am the Son of God.' "

riversident@Matthew:27:45 @ From noon darkness came over all the land until three o'clock.

riversident@Matthew:27:48 @ Immediately one of them took a sponge and filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed and gave him a drink.

riversident@Matthew:27:49 @ The rest said, "Let him alone, let us see whether Elijah comes to save him."

riversident@Matthew:27:53 @ and, coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

riversident@Matthew:27:54 @ The Centurion and his men who were guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that happened, were greatly terrified and said, "Truly this man was a son of God!"

riversident@Matthew:27:55 @ Looking on from a distance, were many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee, waiting upon him.

riversident@Matthew:27:56 @ Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

riversident@Matthew:27:57 @ In the late afternoon there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:60 @ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. Then he rolled a great stone up to the door of the tomb and went away.

riversident@Matthew:27:62 @ On the next day, that is, the day after the Preparation, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered about Pilate

riversident@Matthew:27:66 @ They went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone as well as setting a watch.

riversident@Matthew:28:1 @ LATE on the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was drawing near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the tomb.

riversident@Matthew:28:2 @ And suddenly there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came to the stone and rolled it away and sat upon it.

riversident@Matthew:28:12 @ After assembling with the elders and holding a consultation, they gave a good deal of money to the soldiers

riversident@Matthew:28:15 @ The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this report has been spread among the Jews to this day.

riversident@Mark:1:3 @ The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord; make his paths straight' ";

riversident@Mark:1:5 @ All the land of Judaea and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him and were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.

riversident@Mark:1:6 @ John's clothes were of camel's hair and he had a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

riversident@Mark:1:7 @ He proclaimed, "One is coming after me who is more powerful than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop and loose.

riversident@Mark:1:10 @ Immediately as he was coming up from the water he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him.

riversident@Mark:1:11 @ And there was a voice from the heavens, "Thou art my Son, my Beloved; in thee I am well pleased."

riversident@Mark:1:13 @ And he was in the wild lands forty days, tempted by Satan. There he was among the wild beasts, but angels waited upon him.

riversident@Mark:1:16 @ As he passed along by the lake of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.

riversident@Mark:1:19 @ Going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and his brother John in their boat, mending their net.

riversident@Mark:1:21 @ They came into Capernaum. Immediately on the Sabbath he went into the synagogue and taught.

riversident@Mark:1:22 @ The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as if he had authority, and not as the scribes.

riversident@Mark:1:24 @ "What have you to do with us, Nazarene Jesus? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are \'97 the Holy one of God."

riversident@Mark:1:26 @ Then the impure spirit convulsed him, and screamed loudly and came out.

riversident@Mark:1:28 @ So reports about him immediately spread everywhere through the whole region of Galilee.

riversident@Mark:1:29 @ As soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

riversident@Mark:1:30 @ The mother-in-law of Simon was lying sick with fever. Immediately they told him about her.

riversident@Mark:1:31 @ He came to her, and took her by the hand and lifted her up. The fever left her and she waited on them.

riversident@Mark:1:32 @ When evening came and the sun had set, they brought to him all the sick and those who were afflicted with demons;

riversident@Mark:1:34 @ He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons, not allowing the demons to talk, because they knew him.

riversident@Mark:1:36 @ Simon and his companions searched for him,

riversident@Mark:1:39 @ And he went through all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.

riversident@Mark:1:41 @ He had compassion on him, and stretched out his hand and touched him, and said,

riversident@Mark:1:45 @ But the man went away and began to proclaim freely and to spread the report, so that Jesus was no longer able to enter openly into any city, but stayed out in the wild country, and people came to him from every direction.

riversident@Mark:2:2 @ Many came together, so that there was no longer room even near the door, and he preached to them.

riversident@Mark:2:4 @ Not being able to bring him near, owing to the crowd, they opened the roof where he was, and when they had broken through it, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

riversident@Mark:2:8 @ Immediately Jesus, perceiving that they were inwardly reasoning in this way, said to them,

riversident@Mark:2:14 @ As he was passing along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office and said to him, He arose and followed.

riversident@Mark:2:15 @ Jesus was reclining at table in Levi's house, and many tax collectors and sinners also reclined at table along with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.

riversident@Mark:2:23 @ It happened on a Sabbath day that he was passing through the grainfields, and his disciples began, as they walked, to pluck the heads of grain.

riversident@Mark:2:24 @ The Pharisees said to him, "See what they are doing on the Sabbath \'97 something that is not allowable."

riversident@Mark:3:2 @ They watched him to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might have something to say against him.

riversident@Mark:3:5 @ He looked round on them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, He stretched the hand out and it was completely restored.

riversident@Mark:3:8 @ and from Jerusalem and from Idumaea and from beyond the Jordan and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing of all that he was doing, came to him.

riversident@Mark:3:9 @ Jesus spoke to his disciples to have a little boat ready for his use on account of the throng, to prevent them from pressing upon him.

riversident@Mark:3:11 @ The impure spirits, also, when they saw him, fell down before him and shouted, "You are the Son of God."

riversident@Mark:3:13 @ Jesus went up on the mountain and invited whom he chose, and they came to him.

riversident@Mark:3:15 @ and to have authority to cast out demons.

riversident@Mark:3:16 @ He appointed these twelve: Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter (note:)Rock(:note),

riversident@Mark:3:17 @ James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, to whom he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder,

riversident@Mark:3:18 @ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus, Simon the Zealot,

riversident@Mark:3:22 @ The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, "He has Beelzebul in him, and by the Chief of the demons he casts out demons."

riversident@Mark:3:32 @ A crowd was sitting around him when some one said to him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside and want you."

riversident@Mark:4:1 @ AGAIN Jesus began to teach beside the lake, and a very great crowd gathered around him, so that he got into a boat on the lake and sat down, and all the crowd was on the shore near the lake.

riversident@Mark:4:10 @ When he was alone, his close friends and the twelve asked him about the illustrations.

riversident@Mark:4:33 @ With many such illustrations he went on talking to them as they were able to listen;

riversident@Mark:4:35 @ On that day when evening came he said to them,

riversident@Mark:4:36 @ So they left the crowd and took him along just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with them.

riversident@Mark:4:38 @ But he was in the stern asleep on the cushion. They aroused him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are sinking?"

riversident@Mark:4:41 @ But they were intensely awestruck and said to one another, "Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the lake obey him?"

riversident@Mark:5:4 @ because he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart and the fetters broken in pieces by him, and no one was strong enough to tame him.

riversident@Mark:5:5 @ All night and all day long he was in the tombs and in the mountains, shrieking and cutting himself with stones.

riversident@Mark:5:6 @ When he saw Jesus a long way off, he ran and knelt to him

riversident@Mark:5:7 @ and shouted with a loud voice, "What have I and you to do with each other, Jesus, Son of God most high? I adjure you by God, not to torment me."

riversident@Mark:5:9 @ Jesus asked him, He replied, "Legion is my name, for we are many."

riversident@Mark:5:11 @ There was on the mountain-side a great herd of swine feeding,

riversident@Mark:5:12 @ and the demons begged him, "Send us to the swine and let us go into them."

riversident@Mark:5:13 @ He consented. The impure spirits came out of the man and entered into the swine. Then the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned in the lake.

riversident@Mark:5:15 @ When they came to Jesus, they saw the demoniac, the man who had had the legion, sitting there clothed and in his right mind. They were struck with awe.

riversident@Mark:5:16 @ Those who had seen it told them about what had happened to the demoniac and about the swine.

riversident@Mark:5:18 @ As Jesus was entering the boat, the man who had been demoniac begged him to let him stay with him.

riversident@Mark:5:19 @ He, however, did not consent, but said,

riversident@Mark:5:20 @ So he went away and began to make known in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and all were astonished.

riversident@Mark:5:21 @ When Jesus had recrossed in the boat to the other side of the lake, a great crowd gathered around him as he stood on the shore.

riversident@Mark:5:22 @ Then came one of the directors of the synagogue, by the name of Jairus, and as soon as he saw Jesus he fell at his feet

riversident@Mark:5:23 @ and pleaded with him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is near to death. I beg you to come and lay your hands on her so that she may be saved and live."

riversident@Mark:5:24 @ Jesus went away with him and a great crowd followed and pressed upon him.

riversident@Mark:5:29 @ Immediately the hemorrhage ceased and she knew in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

riversident@Mark:5:30 @ Jesus was at once conscious that power had gone from him, and turned in the crowd and said,

riversident@Mark:5:32 @ But he looked around to see who had done it.

riversident@Mark:5:35 @ While he was still speaking, people came from the house of the synagogue Director and told him, "Your daughter is dead; why annoy the teacher any longer?"

riversident@Mark:5:37 @ He did not permit any one to accompany him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

riversident@Mark:5:40 @ But they laughed at him. Then he put them all out and took the child's father and mother and his own companions and went in where the child was.

riversident@Mark:5:43 @ But he strictly ordered that no one should know it, and told them to give her something to eat.

riversident@Mark:6:2 @ When the Sabbath came, he began teaching in the synagogue. Many who heard were astonished and said, "Where did he get this, and what is this wisdom with which he is gifted? How are such deeds of power done by his hands?

riversident@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" So they fell into mistake regarding him.

riversident@Mark:6:5 @ There he was unable to do any work of power, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

riversident@Mark:6:6 @ Their lack of faith astonished him. He made a circuit through the villages, teaching.

riversident@Mark:6:13 @ and they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many sick people and healed them.

riversident@Mark:6:14 @ The name of Jesus was so much talked about that King Herod heard of it. Some were saying, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these mighty works are done by him."

riversident@Mark:6:15 @ Others said, "It is Elijah," and others said, "It is a prophet like one of the old prophets."

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

riversident@Mark:6:21 @ But an opportunity came for Herodias when Herod, on his birthday, gave a feast to his high officials and military officers and the leading men of Galilee.

riversident@Mark:6:25 @ The girl immediately hurried in and said to the King, "I choose to have you give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter."

riversident@Mark:6:26 @ This made the King very sorry, but on account of his oaths and his guests he was unwilling to refuse her.

riversident@Mark:6:27 @ So he immediately sent one of the guardsmen with orders to bring John's head. The soldier went and beheaded him in the prison

riversident@Mark:6:28 @ and brought the head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.

riversident@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles gathered back to Jesus and reported to him all that they had done and all that they had taught.

riversident@Mark:6:34 @ When Jesus landed, he saw a great crowd, and he was filled with compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began and taught them many things.

riversident@Mark:6:39 @ Then he told them to have all the people recline in groups on the green grass.

riversident@Mark:6:41 @ Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven and blessed them, and broke them and gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. The two fishes he also divided among all.

riversident@Mark:6:43 @ and they picked up twelve basketfuls of the broken pieces of the bread, besides portions of the fishes.

riversident@Mark:6:47 @ When evening had fallen, the boat was half across the lake and he was alone on the land.

riversident@Mark:6:48 @ He saw them distressed in rowing, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking on the lake and he seemed to be going past them.

riversident@Mark:6:49 @ But when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought that it was a ghost and cried out.

riversident@Mark:6:54 @ As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

riversident@Mark:6:55 @ and hurried over all that region and brought in the sick on pallets wherever they heard that he was.

riversident@Mark:6:56 @ Whenever he went into villages or towns or among the farms they would lay the sick in the streets and beg him to let them touch at least the tassel of his cloak. And all who touched were healed.

riversident@Mark:7:1 @ ONCE the Pharisees gathered about him with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,

riversident@Mark:7:2 @ and they saw that some of his disciples were eating bread with "common," that is, unwashed, hands.

riversident@Mark:7:3 @ For the Pharisees and all the Jews never eat without first washing their hands up to the wrist, holding faithfully to the tradition of their forefathers,

riversident@Mark:7:4 @ and when they return from market they do not eat until they have washed. There are also many other traditions which they have been taught to hold tenaciously, such as washing cups and pitchers and copper vessels.

riversident@Mark:7:5 @ The Pharisees and scribes asked him, "Why do not your disciples live according to the tradition of our fore-fathers? Why do they eat their bread with common hands?"

riversident@Mark:7:17 @ After he had gone into the house, his disciples asked about his figurative language.

riversident@Mark:7:19 @ Thus he pronounced all foods clean.

riversident@Mark:7:24 @ Leaving that place, Jesus went into the borders of Tyre. He entered a house and did not wish any one to know it, but he could not escape notice.

riversident@Mark:7:25 @ At once a woman whose daughter was afflicted by an impure spirit heard about him, and she came and fell at his feet.

riversident@Mark:7:26 @ The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

riversident@Mark:7:30 @ She returned to her house and found the child lying on the bed and the demon gone.

riversident@Mark:7:31 @ Again leaving the region of Tyre, he came through Sidon to the lake of Galilee into the midst of the region of Decapolis.

riversident@Mark:7:32 @ They brought to him a deaf man who stammered, and begged him to lay his hand on him.

riversident@Mark:7:33 @ He took him aside from the crowd, put his fingers into his ears, and touched his tongue with spit.

riversident@Mark:7:35 @ and his ears were opened, and immediately his tongue was freed and he talked plainly.

riversident@Mark:7:36 @ Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell any one. But the more he forbade them the more widely they spread it,

riversident@Mark:7:37 @ for they were astonished beyond all bounds and said, "He has done everything well. He makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."

riversident@Mark:8:4 @ His disciples answered, "Where will any one be able to get bread to supply these people here in the uninhabited country?"

riversident@Mark:8:6 @ He told the people to recline on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and, after giving thanks, broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute, and they distributed to the people.

riversident@Mark:8:10 @ At once he got into a boat with the disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

riversident@Mark:8:14 @ They had forgotten to take bread, and except one loaf they had none with them in the boat.

riversident@Mark:8:16 @ They began to talk among themselves about their lack of bread.

riversident@Mark:8:23 @ Taking hold of the blind man's hand, he led him out of the village. Then, after spitting in his eyes and laying his hands on him, he asked him,

riversident@Mark:8:25 @ Again Jesus put his hand on his eyes, and he looked and was restored and saw everything clearly.

riversident@Mark:8:27 @ Jesus went away with his disciples to the villages round Caesarea Philippi. On the road he asked them,

riversident@Mark:8:28 @ They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; others say one of the prophets."

riversident@Mark:8:30 @ He gave them strict orders not to tell any one about him.

riversident@Mark:8:31 @ Then he began and taught them that it was necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and the high priests and the scribes, and to be put to death, and after three days to rise again.

riversident@Mark:8:34 @ Then he called the crowd along with his disciples and said to them,

riversident@Mark:9:2 @ Six days later, Jesus took Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain. They were all alone. There in their presence he became transfigured.

riversident@Mark:9:3 @ His clothes became dazzlingly white, with a whiteness that no bleacher on earth can impart.

riversident@Mark:9:4 @ Then Moses and Elijah appeared to them and conversed with Jesus.

riversident@Mark:9:5 @ Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is fine for us to be here. Let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

riversident@Mark:9:7 @ Then a cloud overshadowed them and there came a voice out of the cloud, "This is my beloved son, hear him."

riversident@Mark:9:8 @ Then suddenly as they looked around they no longer saw any one, but Jesus only, with themselves.

riversident@Mark:9:9 @ When they were descending the mountain, he told them not to tell any one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

riversident@Mark:9:10 @ This command they kept, but debated among themselves what the rising from the dead was.

riversident@Mark:9:15 @ At once the whole crowd saw him and were amazed, and they ran to him and welcomed him.

riversident@Mark:9:17 @ One of the crowd answered, "Teacher, I have brought my son to you. He has a dumb spirit,

riversident@Mark:9:18 @ and whenever it attacks him it convulses him and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth. He is wasting away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they had not the power."

riversident@Mark:9:20 @ They brought him to him. As soon as the spirit saw Jesus, he convulsed the boy so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

riversident@Mark:9:22 @ Often it has thrown him into the fire or into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us."

riversident@Mark:9:24 @ At once the father of the child cried out, "I believe; help my unbelief."

riversident@Mark:9:26 @ He screamed and convulsed the boy and came out. The boy looked like a corpse, so that most of them said, "He is dead."

riversident@Mark:9:28 @ After he had gone into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why were we not able to cast it out?"

riversident@Mark:9:30 @ After leaving there, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish any one to know it.

riversident@Mark:9:31 @ For he was teaching his disciples and telling them that the Son of Man would be betrayed into the hands of men and that they would kill him, and that three days after being killed he would rise.

riversident@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to question him.

riversident@Mark:9:34 @ They were silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves which was the greatest.

riversident@Mark:9:38 @ John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name \'97 a man who does not follow us \'97 and we told him not to do it, because he does not follow us."

riversident@Mark:10:1 @ STARTING from there, he came into the land of Judaea and beyond the Jordan. Again the people crowded to him, and again as usual he was teaching them.

riversident@Mark:10:16 @ Then he took them into his arms and blessed them, putting his hands on them.

riversident@Mark:10:22 @ But his face darkened at that reply, and he went away grieved, for he had great possessions.

riversident@Mark:10:23 @ Then Jesus, looking around on his disciples, said,

riversident@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were astonished at his words. Jesus spoke again and said,

riversident@Mark:10:26 @ They were amazed beyond measure and said to one another, "Then who can be saved?"

riversident@Mark:10:32 @ They were on the road going up to Jerusalem and Jesus was walking in advance. Astonishment fell on them, and those who were following were fearful. Then again he took aside the twelve and began and told them what was going to happen to him.

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

riversident@Mark:10:37 @ They said, "Grant that one of us may sit on your right hand and the other on your left hand in your glory."

riversident@Mark:10:46 @ They came to Jericho. As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (note:)the son of Timaeus(:note), a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside.

riversident@Mark:10:47 @ When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, "Son of David, Jesus, pity me!"

riversident@Mark:10:51 @ Jesus said to him, The blind man said, "Rabboni, I want to regain my sight."

riversident@Mark:10:52 @ Jesus said, At once he could see and followed Jesus along the road.

riversident@Mark:11:1 @ WHEN they were approaching Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples

riversident@Mark:11:7 @ They brought the colt to Jesus and threw upon it their cloaks and he mounted it.

riversident@Mark:11:9 @ Some went in front and some followed, shouting, "God save him! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

riversident@Mark:11:12 @ On the next morning, after they had left Bethany, he was hungry,

riversident@Mark:11:13 @ and seeing a fig tree at a distance in full leaf he went to it on the chance of finding something on it. But when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

riversident@Mark:11:15 @ They came to Jerusalem, and he went into the Temple courts and began to cast out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of the dove-sellers,

riversident@Mark:11:16 @ and would not allow any one to carry anything through the Temple courts,

riversident@Mark:11:18 @ When the high priests and the scribes heard of this they tried to contrive to put him out of the way, for they were afraid of him because the people were deeply impressed by his teaching.

riversident@Mark:11:31 @ But they discussed among themselves, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

riversident@Mark:12:12 @ They kept trying to seize him, but were afraid of the crowd. For they knew that he had meant the illustration for them. So they left him and went away.

riversident@Mark:12:14 @ When they came, they said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true and are not afraid of any one; for you do not look at the social standing of men, but you teach the way of God in truth. Is it right to pay tribute to Caesar or not?

riversident@Mark:12:16 @ They brought one. Then he said, They said to him, "Caesar's."

riversident@Mark:12:17 @ Jesus said to them, They were astonished at him.

riversident@Mark:12:18 @ Then there came to him some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him,

riversident@Mark:12:21 @ then the second took her and died leaving no child, then the third likewise.

riversident@Mark:12:22 @ None of the seven left any child. Last of all the woman died also.

riversident@Mark:12:23 @ In the resurrection when they rise again whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife."

riversident@Mark:12:28 @ Then came one of the scribes, and, after listening to their discussion and knowing that he had answered them well, asked, "Which is the first commandment of all?"

riversident@Mark:12:32 @ The scribe said to him, "Right, teacher; you have said truly that he is one and there is no other beside him,

riversident@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 one's self is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

riversident@Mark:12:34 @ Jesus, seeing that he had answered with intelligence, said to him, After that no one dared question him further.

riversident@Mark:12:41 @ Having seated himself across from the contribution box, he was watching how the crowd dropped money into the box. Many rich people were dropping in large gifts.

riversident@Mark:12:42 @ There came a poor widow and dropped in two mites, in value one penny.

riversident@Mark:13:1 @ AS he was going out of the Temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, see what great stones and what great buildings!"

riversident@Mark:13:3 @ Then, when he was sitting on the Mount of Olives across from the Temple buildings, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

riversident@Mark:14:1 @ THE Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were to come after two days. The high priests and the scribes were contriving how they might seize him by some stratagem and kill him.

riversident@Mark:14:3 @ During his stay in Bethany in the house of Simon the Leper, while he was reclining at table there came a woman with an alabaster jar of pure nard perfume, very costly. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

riversident@Mark:14:4 @ Some were indignant among themselves and said, "For what purpose was this waste of the perfume?

riversident@Mark:14:5 @ This perfume could have been sold for more than three hundred shillings and the money given to the poor." So they were indignant at her.

riversident@Mark:14:10 @ Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the high priests to betray him to them.

riversident@Mark:14:11 @ They were glad to hear it and promised to give him money. He meanwhile was contriving how he could betray him at some favorable time.

riversident@Mark:14:12 @ On the first day of unleavened bread \'97 when they sacrificed the Passover lamb \'97 his disciples said to him, "Where do you wish us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

riversident@Mark:14:19 @ They began to be sad and to say one to another, "It cannot be I?"

riversident@Mark:14:35 @ Then he went forward a little and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.

riversident@Mark:14:43 @ Immediately, even while he was speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, was there and with him a crowd with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the high priests and the scribes and the elders.

riversident@Mark:14:45 @ So when he came, he immediately advanced to Jesus and said, "Rabbi," and kissed him affectionately.

riversident@Mark:14:46 @ They laid their hands on him and held him.

riversident@Mark:14:47 @ But one of those who stood near drew his sword and struck a servant of the High Priest, cutting off his ear.

riversident@Mark:14:55 @ The high priests and all the council tried to get testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they could not find any.

riversident@Mark:14:56 @ Many bore false witness against him, but their testimony did not agree.

riversident@Mark:14:59 @ But their testimony did not agree even regarding this.

riversident@Mark:14:60 @ Then the High Priest rose and came forward into the midst and questioned Jesus, "Have you no answer? What about this evidence against you?"

riversident@Mark:14:61 @ But he was silent and did not answer a word. Again the High Priest questioned him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

riversident@Mark:14:63 @ Then the High Priest rent his garments and said, "Why do we any longer have need of witnesses?

riversident@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard his impious words. How does it appear to you?" They all condemned him as deserving of death.

riversident@Mark:14:65 @ Then some began to spit on him and to blindfold him and to strike him with their fists and say, "Prophesy," and the attendants slapped him as they took him in charge.

riversident@Mark:14:66 @ While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the High Priest came,

riversident@Mark:14:69 @ There the maid saw him and began again to say to those who stood around, "This man is one of them."

riversident@Mark:14:70 @ But he again denied. Again after a little the men who were standing by said to Peter, "Truly you are one of them, for you are a Galilaean."

riversident@Mark:14:72 @ Immediately, for the second time, the cock crew and Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him, and when he thought of it he wept aloud.

riversident@Mark:15:1 @ PROMPTLY at dawn the high priests, after holding a consultation with the elders and the scribes and the whole council, bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate.

riversident@Mark:15:3 @ The high priests went on making many charges against him.

riversident@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate wondered.

riversident@Mark:15:6 @ It was customary that at every feast he should release some one prisoner at their request.

riversident@Mark:15:7 @ There was a man called Barabbas in chains among those insurrectionaries who in the insurrection had committed murder.

riversident@Mark:15:10 @ For he knew that it was on account of envy that the high priests had handed him over.

riversident@Mark:15:14 @ But Pilate said to them, "What has he done that was wrong?" But they shouted violently, "Crucify him!"

riversident@Mark:15:16 @ The soldiers led him away inside the courtyard of the castle and called together the whole battalion.

riversident@Mark:15:17 @ Then they dressed him in purple and put on him a crown of thorns which they had twisted together,

riversident@Mark:15:19 @ They kept striking him on the head with a reed and spitting on him, and bending their knees they did homage to him.

riversident@Mark:15:20 @ After making sport of him, they took off the purple and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

riversident@Mark:15:21 @ They impressed a man who was passing by, Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country (note:)the father of Alexander and Rufus(:note), to carry his cross.

riversident@Mark:15:27 @ With him were crucified also two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.

riversident@Mark:15:31 @ In the same way the high priests, jesting with one another, and the scribes said, "He saved others; himself he cannot save.

riversident@Mark:15:32 @ Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross so that we may see and believe." Even the men who were crucified along with him reviled him.

riversident@Mark:15:33 @ At noon darkness fell on all the land and continued until three o'clock.

riversident@Mark:15:36 @ One ran and filled a sponge with sour wine and put it on a reed and gave him a drink, saying, "Let him be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to take him down."

riversident@Mark:15:39 @ When the Centurion who was standing facing him saw that he expired in this way, he exclaimed, "Truly this man was a son of God!"

riversident@Mark:15:40 @ There were also some women looking on from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the Little and Joses, and Salome,

riversident@Mark:15:41 @ who when he was in Galilee used to follow him and wait on him, and there were many others who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

riversident@Mark:15:42 @ It was now late in the afternoon and, since it was Preparation Day, that is the day before the Sabbath,

riversident@Mark:15:44 @ Pilate wondered whether he was already dead, but he called in the Centurion and asked him whether Jesus had been long dead.

riversident@Mark:15:45 @ Upon learning this from the Centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

riversident@Mark:15:46 @ Joseph bought a linen sheet and took him down and swathed him in it and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock. He then rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

riversident@Mark:15:47 @ Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where Jesus was laid.

riversident@Mark:16:3 @ They were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"

riversident@Mark:16:4 @ But when they looked they saw that the stone had been rolled away. It was very large.

riversident@Mark:16:5 @ Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side dressed in a white robe, and they were frightened.

riversident@Mark:16:7 @ But go tell his disciples and Peter, He has gone before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he told you."

riversident@Mark:16:8 @ The women came out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and amazement seized them. They told nothing to any one, they were so frightened.

riversident@Mark:16:9 @ After Jesus rose early on the morning of the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

riversident@Mark:16:14 @ Later he appeared to the eleven as they were reclining at table, and reproached them for their lack of faith and dullness of mind because they had not believed those who had seen him since his resurrection.

riversident@Mark:16:19 @ Then the Lord Jesus, after talking with them, was taken up into heaven and sat down on the right hand of God.

riversident@Mark:16:20 @ They went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming their message by the signs which accompanied it.

riversident@Luke:1:1 @ INASMUCH as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative of those facts which are firmly believed among us,

riversident@Luke:1:3 @ it has seemed good to me also \'97 since I have followed everything from the beginning accurately \'97 to write a consecutive account for you, most excellent Theophilus,

riversident@Luke:1:5 @ There was in the days of Herod, King of Judaea, a certain priest by the name of Zacharias, of the course of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

riversident@Luke:1:6 @ They were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord blameless.

riversident@Luke:1:10 @ All the congregation of people was in prayer outside, at the hour of incense.

riversident@Luke:1:12 @ Zacharias, on seeing him, was alarmed and fear fell upon him.

riversident@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said to him, "Do not fear, Zacharias, for your prayer has been heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son, and you will call his name John.

riversident@Luke:1:15 @ For he will be great before the Lord. He will not drink wine or strong drink. He will be full of the Holy Spirit even from his birth,

riversident@Luke:1:16 @ and many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.

riversident@Luke:1:21 @ The people were waiting for Zacharias and wondering at his staying so long in the Temple.

riversident@Luke:1:22 @ But when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the Temple. He kept making signs to them and remained dumb.

riversident@Luke:1:24 @ After these days Elizabeth his wife conceived and hid herself five months, saying,

riversident@Luke:1:25 @ "So has the Lord done for me in the days in which he has looked upon me to take away my reproach among men."

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

riversident@Luke:1:28 @ The angel entered and said to her, "Hail, favored one, the Lord is with you!"

riversident@Luke:1:29 @ But she was alarmed at his words, and wondered what such a greeting could mean.

riversident@Luke:1:31 @ You will conceive in your womb and will bear a son, and you must call his name Jesus.

riversident@Luke:1:32 @ He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.

riversident@Luke:1:35 @ The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Highest will overshadow you. For that reason the child that is begotten will be called holy, Son of God.

riversident@Luke:1:36 @ And, indeed, Elizabeth your relative, even she, has conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

riversident@Luke:1:42 @ and spoke out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

riversident@Luke:1:43 @ But why do I have the honor of having the mother of my Lord come to me?

riversident@Luke:1:44 @ For, indeed, when the sound of your greeting fell upon my ears, the babe leapt for joy in my womb.

riversident@Luke:1:48 @ Because he has looked upon the low estate of his handmaid. Indeed, from this time all generations will call me blessed.

riversident@Luke:1:49 @ Because the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is his name.

riversident@Luke:1:50 @ His kindness is from generation to generation upon those who fear him.

riversident@Luke:1:52 @ He casts down princes from their thrones and raises up the lowly.

riversident@Luke:1:56 @ Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.

riversident@Luke:1:57 @ When Elizabeth's due time came, she gave birth to a son.

riversident@Luke:1:59 @ On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by the name of his father Zacharias.

riversident@Luke:1:61 @ They said to her, "There is no one of your family who is called by that name."

riversident@Luke:1:63 @ He asked for a tablet and wrote, "His name is John." They all wondered.

riversident@Luke:1:64 @ At once Zacharias's mouth was opened and his tongue loosed and he spoke, praising God.

riversident@Luke:1:65 @ Awe fell on all their neighbors, and in the whole hill-country of Judaea all these matters were talked about.

riversident@Luke:1:68 @ "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! For he has looked upon his people, and made deliverance for them.

riversident@Luke:1:69 @ He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant,

riversident@Luke:1:71 @ Salvation from our enemies and from the hands of all those that hate us,

riversident@Luke:1:77 @ To give the knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,

riversident@Luke:1:78 @ Through the tender compassion of our God, With which the sunrise from on high will shine upon us;

riversident@Luke:1:80 @ The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he lived in the wilds until the day of his appearance before Israel.

riversident@Luke:2:1 @ IN those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus for the registration of the whole world.

riversident@Luke:2:2 @ This first registration took place while Cyrenius was Governor of Syria.

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

riversident@Luke:2:9 @ Suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them. They were much afraid,

riversident@Luke:2:14 @ "Glory in highest heaven to God, and peace on earth among men in whom he delights."

riversident@Luke:2:15 @ When the angels went away into heaven, the shepherds spoke to one another: "Let us go to Bethlehem and see this that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."

riversident@Luke:2:18 @ All who heard it wondered at what was said to them by the shepherds.

riversident@Luke:2:19 @ Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart.

riversident@Luke:2:21 @ When eight days had passed and the time to circumcise him had come, his name was called Jesus \'97 the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

riversident@Luke:2:22 @ When the days of their purification were completed, according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,

riversident@Luke:2:24 @ and to give an offering according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "a pair of doves or two young pigeons."

riversident@Luke:2:25 @ There was in Jerusalem a man named Simeon, and this man was upright and God-fearing, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

riversident@Luke:2:30 @ For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

riversident@Luke:2:32 @ a light for revelation to Gentiles and a glory to thy people Israel."

riversident@Luke:2:33 @ His father and his mother wondered at the things that were spoken about him.

riversident@Luke:2:34 @ Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, "This child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel and for a sign much spoken against

riversident@Luke:2:38 @ She too came up at that time and praised God and spoke about him to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:2:40 @ The child grew and became strong and was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

riversident@Luke:2:42 @ When he had reached the age of twelve years, and they had gone up according to the custom of the feast

riversident@Luke:2:44 @ Thinking that he was in the company, they went a day's journey. But when they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances

riversident@Luke:2:46 @ On the third day they found him in the Temple courts, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

riversident@Luke:2:47 @ All who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.

riversident@Luke:3:1 @ IN the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was Governor of Judaea and Herod Prince of Galilee, and Philip his brother Prince of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias Prince of Abilene,

riversident@Luke:3:2 @ during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wild lands.

riversident@Luke:3:4 @ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one shouting in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight!'

riversident@Luke:3:6 @ and all men shall see the salvation of God."

riversident@Luke:3:8 @ Produce then fruits suitable for a change of heart, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father.' For I tell you, God is able out of these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

riversident@Luke:3:11 @ He answered, "Let him who has two tunics give to him who has none, and let him who has food do likewise."

riversident@Luke:3:13 @ He said to them, "Do nothing beyond what you are authorized."

riversident@Luke:3:14 @ Soldiers asked him, "And what shall we do?" He said to them, "Do violence to no man; bring no false accusations; be content with your rations."

riversident@Luke:3:15 @ As the people were in expectation and all were debating in their minds about John, whether he was the Christ,

riversident@Luke:3:16 @ John said to them all, "I am baptizing you with water, but there is coming the One mightier than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to unfasten. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

riversident@Luke:3:18 @ With many different exhortations John proclaimed the good news to the people.

riversident@Luke:3:19 @ But Herod, the prince, because John reproved him regarding Herodias, his brother's wife, and regarding all the wicked things which Herod had done,

riversident@Luke:3:20 @ added also this wickedness to all the rest \'97 he shut up John in prison.

riversident@Luke:3:22 @ and the Holy Spirit in bodily form like a dove descended upon him, and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my Son, the Beloved. In thee I delight."

riversident@Luke:4:13 @ After exhausting every kind of temptation, the Devil went away from him till a better opportunity.

riversident@Luke:4:14 @ Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and reports about him went out through all the region.

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

riversident@Luke:4:20 @ Then he rolled up the book and handed it over to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.

riversident@Luke:4:22 @ All bore witness to him, and wondered at the gracious words that came from his mouth, and said, "Is not he a son of Joseph?"

riversident@Luke:4:24 @ He continued:

riversident@Luke:4:28 @ Upon hearing these words, all in the synagogue were filled with rage,

riversident@Luke:4:29 @ and they rose up and expelled him from the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, intending to throw him down.

riversident@Luke:4:31 @ He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. There he was teaching them on the Sabbath,

riversident@Luke:4:33 @ In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of an impure demon, and he shouted with a loud voice,

riversident@Luke:4:34 @ "Ha, what have you to do with us, Nazarene Jesus? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are \'97 The Holy One of God."

riversident@Luke:4:35 @ Jesus rebuked him, saying, The demon flung him prostrate in the midst, but came out of him without injuring him at all.

riversident@Luke:4:36 @ Astonishment fell upon all, and they talked to one another, saying, "What is this word? With authority and power he commands the impure spirits and they come out!"

riversident@Luke:4:37 @ Reports about him spread into every part of that region.

riversident@Luke:4:38 @ Jesus arose and left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon. Simon's wife's mother was suffering from a severe fever, and they asked him to help her.

riversident@Luke:4:39 @ He came and stood over her and rebuked the fever and it left her. At once she rose up and waited upon them.

riversident@Luke:4:40 @ As the sun was setting, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he put his hands on each of them and healed them.

riversident@Luke:4:41 @ Demons came out of many, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them and did not permit them to speak, for they knew that he was the Christ.

riversident@Luke:4:44 @ So he continued teaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

riversident@Luke:5:1 @ IT happened that, as the crowd was pressing upon him and listening to the word of God, he was standing on the shore of Lake Gennesaret,

riversident@Luke:5:2 @ and he saw two boats by the shore. The fishermen had gone away from them and were washing their nets.

riversident@Luke:5:3 @ He got into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, and asked him to push off a little from the land. Then, sitting down, he taught the people from the boat.

riversident@Luke:5:4 @ When he ceased speaking, he said to Simon,

riversident@Luke:5:5 @ Simon answered, "Master, we have worked all night and caught nothing. But at your word I will let down the nets."

riversident@Luke:5:6 @ When they had done this, they enclosed a great mass of fishes and their nets began to break.

riversident@Luke:5:7 @ They beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and take hold with them. They came, and both the boats were filled so that they began to sink.

riversident@Luke:5:8 @ When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down on his knees before Jesus and said, "Leave my boat and me, Sir, for I am a sinful man."

riversident@Luke:5:10 @ It was just the same with James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. But Jesus said to Simon,

riversident@Luke:5:12 @ It happened that, when he was in one of the cities, there was a man present full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, "Sir, if you will, you can cleanse me."

riversident@Luke:5:14 @ Jesus commanded him to tell no one. he said,

riversident@Luke:5:17 @ It happened on one of those days that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting who had come from every village of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal.

riversident@Luke:5:18 @ Then came some men bearing on a bed a man who was paralytic, and they tried to bring him in and lay him before Jesus.

riversident@Luke:5:19 @ When they could not contrive to bring him in on account of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his pallet into the midst in front of Jesus.

riversident@Luke:5:21 @ The scribes and Pharisees began to argue, saying, "Who is this man who speaks profane words? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

riversident@Luke:5:25 @ Immediately he stood up before them and took up what he had been lying on and went away to his house, glorifying God.

riversident@Luke:5:26 @ Amazement seized them all and they gave glory to God, yet they were also filled with awe, and said, "We have seen astonishing things today!"

riversident@Luke:5:29 @ Levi held a great reception for him at his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them.

riversident@Luke:5:36 @ He gave them also some illustrations.

riversident@Luke:6:1 @ IT happened that he was passing one Sabbath through some grainfields, and his disciples were plucking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.

riversident@Luke:6:2 @ But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?"

riversident@Luke:6:6 @ It happened on another Sabbath that he went into the synagogue and was teaching. There was a man there whose right hand was withered.

riversident@Luke:6:7 @ The scribes and Pharisees watched to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, wishing to find something to accuse him of.

riversident@Luke:6:11 @ But they were filled with blind fury, and discussed with one another what they could do to Jesus.

riversident@Luke:6:14 @ Simon, whom he named Peter (note:)Rock(:note), and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,

riversident@Luke:6:15 @ and Matthew and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot,

riversident@Luke:6:16 @ and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

riversident@Luke:6:17 @ He went down with them and stood on a level spot where were gathered a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear him and to be cured of their diseases.

riversident@Luke:6:39 @ He gave them an illustration:

riversident@Luke:7:2 @ The servant of a certain Centurion was sick and about to die. He was highly valued by his master,

riversident@Luke:7:4 @ When they came to Jesus they begged him earnestly, saying, "He deserves to have this done,

riversident@Luke:7:5 @ for he loves our nation and he built us our synagogue."

riversident@Luke:7:6 @ Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the Centurion sent friends to say to him, "Do not trouble yourself, Sir, for I am not fit to have you come under my roof.

riversident@Luke:7:7 @ On that account I did not think myself worthy to come to you. But say the word and have my servant cured.

riversident@Luke:7:8 @ For I am a man \'97 under authority \'97 with soldiers under me, and I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to that one, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

riversident@Luke:7:9 @ When Jesus heard this, he wondered, and, turning to the crowd that was following him, he said,

riversident@Luke:7:11 @ It happened soon afterwards that he went to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd were going along with him.

riversident@Luke:7:12 @ As he approached the gate of the city, they were carrying out a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A great crowd from the city was with her.

riversident@Luke:7:13 @ When the Master saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her,

riversident@Luke:7:16 @ All were awe-struck, and they gave praise to God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us and God has visited his people."

riversident@Luke:7:17 @ The reports about him spread through all Judaea and all the region of the Jordan.

riversident@Luke:7:19 @ So he called to him two of his disciples and sent them to the Master to ask, "Are you 'the Coming One' or are we to expect some other person?"

riversident@Luke:7:20 @ When they came to him, the men said, "John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, Are you 'the Coming One' or are we to expect some other person?"

riversident@Luke:7:29 @ (All the people, even the tax collectors when they heard him, had confessed that God was right by being baptized with the baptism of John.

riversident@Luke:7:36 @ One of the Pharisees kept asking him to dine with him. Entering the house of this Pharisee, he reclined at the table.

riversident@Luke:7:38 @ and took her place behind, beside his feet, weeping. Her tears began to rain down on his feet, and with the hair of her head she wiped them off, and she passionately kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.

riversident@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered, "I suppose the one to whom he forgave most." He said to him,

riversident@Luke:7:44 @ Then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon,

riversident@Luke:8:2 @ and certain women who had been relieved of evil spirits and infirmities \'97 Mary, who was called Magdalene, out of whom seven demons had gone,

riversident@Luke:8:4 @ When a great multitude was coming together and some from every city were crowding upon him, he spoke to them with an illustration:

riversident@Luke:8:9 @ His disciples kept asking him what the illustration meant.

riversident@Luke:8:19 @ His mother and his brothers came where he was, but could not get to him on account of the crowd.

riversident@Luke:8:22 @ It happened one day that he got into a boat, and his disciples went with him. He said to them, They put out.

riversident@Luke:8:23 @ While they were sailing he fell asleep. A gale of wind came down on the lake and the boat was filling and in peril.

riversident@Luke:8:25 @ He said to the disciples, They were awed and amazed, and said to one another, "Who then is this man who commands the winds and the water and they obey him?"

riversident@Luke:8:27 @ When he got out on to the land, there met him a certain man from that city who had demons. For a long time he had not worn clothes and had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.

riversident@Luke:8:28 @ When he saw Jesus, he screamed and fell down before him, and in a loud voice said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I pray you, do not torment me."

riversident@Luke:8:29 @ For he had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and, though he was bound with chains and fetters and kept under guard, yet bursting his chains he would be driven by the demon off into the wilds.

riversident@Luke:8:30 @ Jesus asked him, He said, "Legion," for many demons had entered into him.

riversident@Luke:8:32 @ There was near by a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain. The demons begged him to permit them to go into the swine. He gave them leave.

riversident@Luke:8:33 @ The demons left the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

riversident@Luke:8:34 @ The herdsmen, seeing what had happened, fled and told it in the city and on the farms.

riversident@Luke:8:35 @ The people came out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were struck with awe.

riversident@Luke:8:36 @ Those who had seen it told them how the demoniac had been cured.

riversident@Luke:8:37 @ Whereupon all the crowd from the region of the Gerasenes asked him to go away from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into a boat and returned.

riversident@Luke:8:38 @ The man from whom the demons had gone out begged him to let him be with him. But he sent him away, saying,

riversident@Luke:8:39 @ He went through the whole city proclaiming how much Jesus had done for him.

riversident@Luke:8:42 @ because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As he was going the crowds pressed around him.

riversident@Luke:8:43 @ A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be cured by any one,

riversident@Luke:8:44 @ came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak. At once her hemorrhage ceased.

riversident@Luke:8:45 @ Jesus said, All denied, and Peter said, "Master, the crowd is pressing upon you on every side."

riversident@Luke:8:49 @ While he was still speaking some one came from the Director's house, saying, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher any longer."

riversident@Luke:8:51 @ When he came to the house, he did not permit any one to enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father of the child and her mother.

riversident@Luke:8:55 @ Her spirit returned and at once she stood up. He told them to give her something to eat.

riversident@Luke:8:56 @ Her parents were amazed, but he told them not to tell any one of what had happened.

riversident@Luke:9:1 @ JESUS called together the twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.

riversident@Luke:9:7 @ Herod the Prince heard of all that was going on, and he was at a loss because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

riversident@Luke:9:8 @ by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the old prophets had arisen.

riversident@Luke:9:10 @ The apostles returned and told Jesus all that they had done. Taking them with him, he went away privately to a city called Bethsaida.

riversident@Luke:9:18 @ Once when he was praying alone, his disciples joined him, and he asked them,

riversident@Luke:9:19 @ They answered, "John the Baptist; others say Elijah; others that some one of the old prophets has arisen."

riversident@Luke:9:21 @ But he rebuked him, and charged them not to say this to any one,

riversident@Luke:9:22 @ telling them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and high priests and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

riversident@Luke:9:28 @ About eight days after this conversation, Jesus took with him Peter and John and James and went up the mountain to pray.

riversident@Luke:9:32 @ Peter and his companions had been weighed down with sleep, but becoming fully awake they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.

riversident@Luke:9:33 @ As they were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is fine for us to be here. Let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he was saying.

riversident@Luke:9:35 @ Then a voice came from the cloud saying, "This is my Son, the Chosen, listen to him."

riversident@Luke:9:36 @ When the voice came, Jesus was there alone. They kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

riversident@Luke:9:37 @ On the next day, as they were coming down from the mountain, a great crowd met him,

riversident@Luke:9:38 @ and suddenly a man from the crowd cried out, "Teacher, I pray you look at my son, for he is my only one,

riversident@Luke:9:39 @ and see, a spirit seizes him and all at once he shrieks. It convulses him till he foams and it hardly leaves off tormenting him.

riversident@Luke:9:42 @ Even while he was coming, the demon dashed him down and convulsed him. Jesus rebuked the impure spirit and healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

riversident@Luke:9:43 @ They were amazed at the greatness of God. While they were all wondering at all the things that he did, he said to his disciples,

riversident@Luke:9:46 @ A dispute started among them as to which of them was greatest.

riversident@Luke:9:47 @ Jesus knew the question that was in their minds, and he took a little child and stood him beside himself.

riversident@Luke:9:49 @ John answered, "Master, we saw one casting out demons in your name and we tried to stop him because he is not following along with us."

riversident@Luke:9:52 @ and sent on messengers in advance. In journeying they came to a village of Samaritans to make arrangements for him.

riversident@Luke:9:54 @ On seeing this, his disciples James and John said, "Sir, do you want us to bid fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"

riversident@Luke:9:57 @ As they were traveling on the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."

riversident@Luke:10:1 @ AFTER this, the Master appointed seventy others and sent them out two and two before him into every city and place where he was soon to come.

riversident@Luke:10:17 @ The seventy returned with joy saying, "Master, even the demons are subject to us in your name."

riversident@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was busy and worried over a great deal of service. Coming to him she said, "Master, do you not care that my sister has left me to do the work alone? Tell her to take hold with me."

riversident@Luke:11:1 @ ONCE he was in a certain place praying. When he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, "Master, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."

riversident@Luke:11:14 @ He was casting out a demon and it was dumb. After the demon had gone out, the dumb man spoke and the crowds wondered.

riversident@Luke:11:15 @ But some of them said, "By Beelzebul, the chief of the demons, he casts out the demons."

riversident@Luke:11:17 @ But he, knowing their reasonings, said to them,

riversident@Luke:11:29 @ As the crowds were thronging about him, he began and said,

riversident@Luke:11:38 @ The Pharisee, seeing this, wondered that he had not first washed before dinner.

riversident@Luke:11:45 @ One of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you treat us roughly too."

riversident@Luke:11:53 @ After he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon him angrily and cross-question him on many points,

riversident@Luke:12:1 @ MEANWHILE, as the myriads of the crowd were thronging together so that they trod down one another, he began and said to his disciples first,

riversident@Luke:12:13 @ One out of the crowd said to him, "Teacher, bid my brother to divide the inheritance with me."

riversident@Luke:12:16 @ He gave them an illustration, saying,

riversident@Luke:12:41 @ Peter said, "Master, do you intend this illustration for us or for all?"

riversident@Luke:13:6 @ He gave this illustration:

riversident@Luke:13:10 @ He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

riversident@Luke:13:13 @ and he laid his hands on her. Immediately she was straightened and gave glory to God.

riversident@Luke:13:14 @ But the synagogue Director, angry because Jesus was healing on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days in which work should be done. On those days come and be healed, but not on the Sabbath day."

riversident@Luke:14:1 @ ONCE, when he went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him closely.

riversident@Luke:14:7 @ Observing how the guests were choosing the best couches, he gave them an illustration:

riversident@Luke:14:15 @ On hearing this, one of his fellow guests said to him, "Blessed will he be who eats bread in the kingdom of God!"

riversident@Luke:14:25 @ Great crowds were traveling along with him, and he turned and said to them,

riversident@Luke:15:2 @ The Pharisees and the scribes grumbled to one another, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."

riversident@Luke:15:3 @ He gave them this illustration:

riversident@Luke:16:14 @ The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all this and they were sneering at him.

riversident@Luke:17:11 @ It happened that on his journey toward Jerusalem he was going through Samaria and Galilee.

riversident@Luke:17:13 @ and, raising their voices, called, "Jesus, Master, have compassion on us."

riversident@Luke:17:15 @ One of them, seeing that he had been cured, turned back with a loud shout giving glory to God,

riversident@Luke:17:16 @ and he fell on his face at the feet of Jesus, thanking him. He was a Samaritan.

riversident@Luke:17:20 @ On being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, Jesus answered them,

riversident@Luke:18:1 @ HE gave them an illustration that they ought always to pray and not to lose courage.

riversident@Luke:18:9 @ He gave also this illustration to some who trusted in themselves as being righteous and despised others:

riversident@Luke:18:15 @ They were bringing to him babes for him to touch. The disciples on seeing this rebuked them.

riversident@Luke:18:18 @ One of the rulers asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit life eternal?"

riversident@Luke:18:22 @ On hearing that, Jesus said to him,

riversident@Luke:18:23 @ But he, on hearing this, became deeply sorrowful, for he was very rich.

riversident@Luke:18:34 @ But they understood none of these things, and what he said was hidden from them. They did not grasp the meaning of his words.

riversident@Luke:18:38 @ Then he shouted, "Jesus, son of David, have pity on me!"

riversident@Luke:18:39 @ Those who were in front rebuked him and told him to be still. But he kept crying out much louder, "Son of David, have pity on me!"

riversident@Luke:18:43 @ Immediately he received sight and followed him, giving glory to God. All the people upon seeing this gave praise to God.

riversident@Luke:19:3 @ He was trying to see Jesus \'97 what he was like; but he could not on account of the crowd, for he was short in stature.

riversident@Luke:19:8 @ Zacchaeus stood and said to the Master, "See, the half of my property, Sir, I give to the poor, and if I have unjustly taken anything from any one, I will give him back four-fold."

riversident@Luke:19:11 @ While they were listening to this, he added an illustration, because he was near to Jerusalem and they were thinking that the kingdom of heaven was going to appear immediately.

riversident@Luke:19:28 @ When he had said these things, he journeyed onward, going up toward Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:19:35 @ They led it to Jesus and threw their cloaks on the colt and mounted Jesus on it.

riversident@Luke:19:47 @ He was teaching every day in the Temple courts. But the high priests and the scribes were bent on destroying him, and so were the first citizens.

riversident@Luke:19:48 @ But they could find no way to do it; for all the people hung upon him listening.

riversident@Luke:20:1 @ ON one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the Temple courts and proclaiming the good news, the high priests and the scribes came up with the elders

riversident@Luke:20:5 @ They conferred among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

riversident@Luke:20:6 @ and if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."

riversident@Luke:20:9 @ He began and gave the people this illustration:

riversident@Luke:20:17 @ He turned his eyes upon them and said,

riversident@Luke:20:19 @ The scribes and the high priests were eager to lay hands on him at that very time, for they knew that he had aimed the illustration at them; but they were afraid of the people.

riversident@Luke:20:20 @ So watching insidiously for an opportunity they sent spies, who pretended to be honest men, to seize upon anything he might say, so as to hand him over to the authorities and to the power of the Governor.

riversident@Luke:20:21 @ They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly and that you do not regard personal influences, but you teach the way of God according to truth.

riversident@Luke:20:26 @ They could not seize upon his words before the people, and in astonishment at his answer they were silent.

riversident@Luke:20:27 @ There came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and asked him,

riversident@Luke:20:28 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If any one's married brother dies childless, that man must marry his brother's widow and raise up offspring for his brother.'

riversident@Luke:20:30 @ The second

riversident@Luke:20:33 @ Now this woman \'97 whose wife will she be at the resurrection? For she was wife to the seven."

riversident@Luke:20:40 @ And they no longer dared to ask him anything.

riversident@Luke:21:1 @ Looking up, he saw those who were dropping their gifts into the contribution box, the rich people.

riversident@Luke:21:5 @ As some were speaking about the Temple buildings, how they were decorated with beautiful stones and votive gifts,

riversident@Luke:21:29 @ He gave them an illustration:

riversident@Luke:21:37 @ During the days he continued to teach in the Temple courts, but every night he went out and stayed on the mount called Olive Orchard.

riversident@Luke:22:2 @ The high priests and the scribes were intent upon finding some way to destroy Jesus; for they were afraid of the people.

riversident@Luke:22:5 @ They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

riversident@Luke:22:6 @ He promised, and was on the lookout for an opportunity to betray him to them when the crowd was not with him.

riversident@Luke:22:23 @ They began to question among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do this.

riversident@Luke:22:24 @ There was also a dispute among them as to which of them should be regarded as superior.

riversident@Luke:22:33 @ Peter said to him, "Master, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."

riversident@Luke:22:41 @ He parted from them about a stone's throw and kneeled down and prayed,

riversident@Luke:22:44 @ Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood failing upon the ground.

riversident@Luke:22:47 @ While he was still speaking there came a crowd, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came up to Jesus to kiss him.

riversident@Luke:22:50 @ One of them did strike the High Priest's servant and cut off his right ear.

riversident@Luke:22:58 @ After a short space another \'97 a man \'97 saw him, and said, "You too are one of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not."

riversident@Luke:22:70 @ They all said, "You then are the Son of God?" He said to them,

riversident@Luke:22:71 @ They said, "Why do we need any more testimony? For we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth."

riversident@Luke:23:2 @ They began accusing him, saying, "We have found this man corrupting our nation and opposing the payment of tribute to Caesar and saying that he himself is Christ a king."

riversident@Luke:23:6 @ Pilate, on hearing of Galilee, asked if the man was a Galilaean,

riversident@Luke:23:7 @ and when he learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction he sent him to Herod, who was himself also in Jerusalem during those days.

riversident@Luke:23:8 @ Herod on seeing Jesus was much pleased because for a long time he had been anxious to see him on account of hearing about him, and he was hoping to see some miracle done by him.

riversident@Luke:23:9 @ He questioned him with many words; but Jesus gave him no answer.

riversident@Luke:23:11 @ Herod along with his soldiers treated him with contempt and after making sport of him and putting a gorgeous robe on him, sent him back to Pilate.

riversident@Luke:23:14 @ and said to them, "You have brought before me this man as one who misguides the people, and yet I, in examining him before you, have found in this man not one criminal thing of all that you charge against him.

riversident@Luke:23:15 @ No more has Herod; for he has sent him back to us. See, nothing deserving of death has been done by him.

riversident@Luke:23:22 @ For the third time he said to them, "What wrong has he done? I have found nothing criminal in him. I will therefore scourge him and let him go."

riversident@Luke:23:24 @ So Pilate gave sentence that what they asked should be done.

riversident@Luke:23:25 @ He freed the man who for riot and murder had been thrown into prison \'97 the man they asked for; but Jesus he handed over to their will.

riversident@Luke:23:26 @ As they led him away, they took hold of Simon, a Cyrenian coming from the country, and laid on him the cross to bear behind Jesus.

riversident@Luke:23:33 @ When they came to the place called Skull, there they crucified him and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.

riversident@Luke:23:35 @ The people stood looking on. The rulers scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen."

riversident@Luke:23:39 @ One of the criminals who were crucified insulted him, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us."

riversident@Luke:23:41 @ And we are here justly, for we are receiving our due for our deeds. But this man has done nothing wrong."

riversident@Luke:23:44 @ It was now about noon, and darkness came over all the land until three,

riversident@Luke:23:47 @ When the Centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, "Certainly this was an upright man!"

riversident@Luke:23:48 @ And all the crowds that had stood by looking on the scene, after seeing what happened, turned away beating their breasts.

riversident@Luke:23:49 @ All his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee were standing at a distance looking on.

riversident@Luke:23:51 @ who had not participated in their plan and action. He was of Arimathaea, a city of the Judaeans, and was looking for the kingdom of God.

riversident@Luke:23:53 @ He took it down and wrapped it in fine linen and laid him in a tomb cut in the rock where no one was yet lying.

riversident@Luke:23:54 @ It was the day of Preparation and the Sabbath was about to begin.

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

riversident@Luke:23:56 @ and they went back and prepared perfumes and ointments. On the Sabbath they abstained from work according to the commandment.

riversident@Luke:24:1 @ BUT on the first day of the week at early dawn they came to the tomb, bringing the perfumes which they had prepared.

riversident@Luke:24:2 @ They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

riversident@Luke:24:3 @ and on entering they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

riversident@Luke:24:5 @ They were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why are you looking for the living among the dead?

riversident@Luke:24:7 @ that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and rise on the third day."

riversident@Luke:24:12 @ But Peter rose and ran to the tomb and stooping down he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went away to his place wondering at what had happened.

riversident@Luke:24:13 @ On that day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, seven miles distant from Jerusalem,

riversident@Luke:24:15 @ It happened as they talked and discussed that Jesus himself drew near and walked along with them.

riversident@Luke:24:18 @ One of them, named Cleopas, said to him, "Are you a stranger living alone in Jerusalem and do you not know the things that have happened there in recent days?"

riversident@Luke:24:20 @ how our high priests and leading men handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him.

riversident@Luke:24:21 @ But we were hoping that he was the one who was to redeem Israel. But now, however, the third day is passing since these things took place.

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

riversident@Luke:24:28 @ They drew near to the village where they were going and he acted as if he were going on.

riversident@Luke:24:32 @ They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us when he was talking to us on the road and was explaining the Scriptures to us?"

riversident@Luke:24:34 @ and saying, "Really the Lord has risen and he has appeared to Simon."

riversident@Luke:24:35 @ They then narrated what had happened on the road and how they knew him by his breaking the bread.

riversident@Luke:24:41 @ While they still were doubting for joy and wondering, he said to them,

riversident@Luke:24:53 @ and were constantly in the Temple courts blessing God.

riversident@John:1:3 @ All things came into being through him, and apart from him not one thing came into being that has come into being.

riversident@John:1:5 @ And the Light shone in the darkness, but the darkness did not understand it.

riversident@John:1:7 @ He came for testimony, to testify about the Light, that all might believe through him.

riversident@John:1:14 @ The Word became flesh and tented among us, and we looked upon his glory, glory as of an only son from a father, full of grace and truth.

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

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

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

riversident@John:1:23 @ He said, "I am 'the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."

riversident@John:1:26 @ John answered them, "I baptize with water. In the midst of you stands one whom you do not know \'97

riversident@John:1:27 @ the One who is coming after me \'97 for whom I am not worthy to loosen the strap of his sandal."

riversident@John:1:28 @ This happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

riversident@John:1:31 @ I did not know him, but I knew that he was to be shown to Israel. For that reason I came baptizing with water."

riversident@John:1:32 @ John bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and it remained on him.

riversident@John:1:33 @ I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water \'97 he said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining, that is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

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

riversident@John:1:35 @ Again on the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,

riversident@John:1:39 @ He said to them, So they came and saw where he was staying, and stayed with him that day. It was then about four in the afternoon.

riversident@John:1:40 @ Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two that heard about Jesus from John and followed him.

riversident@John:1:41 @ He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah (note:)which means, when translated, the Christ(:note)!"

riversident@John:1:43 @ On the next day Jesus decided to go away to Galilee, and he found Philip and said to him,

riversident@John:1:45 @ Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law and of whom the prophets wrote \'97 Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth."

riversident@John:1:49 @ Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel!"

riversident@John:2:1 @ ON the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

riversident@John:2:6 @ There were standing there six stone water jars in accordance with the Jewish custom of purification, holding about twenty or thirty gallons apiece.

riversident@John:2:10 @ and said to him, "Every man sets on first the fine wine, and when they have drunk freely he sets on the poorer. You have kept the fine wine till now."

riversident@John:2:15 @ he made a whip of cords and drove them all from the courts \'97 all the sheep and the cattle, \'97 and he poured out the small coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.

riversident@John:2:25 @ and had no need for any one to inform him about man, for he knew what was in man.

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

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

riversident@John:3:23 @ John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was abundant water there. People were constantly coming and being baptized.

riversident@John:3:24 @ For John had not yet been thrown into prison.

riversident@John:3:25 @ There arose a dispute between the disciples of John and a Jew about purification.

riversident@John:3:26 @ They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the man who was with you across the Jordan to whom you bore testimony \'97 see, he is baptizing and all are coming to him."

riversident@John:3:32 @ What he has seen and heard, that he testifies to, yet no one accepts his testimony.

riversident@John:3:33 @ He who accepts his testimony has set his seal that God is true.

riversident@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hand.

riversident@John:3:36 @ He who believes in the Son has life eternal. He who disbelieves in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.

riversident@John:4:5 @ He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

riversident@John:4:6 @ Jacob's well was there. Jesus, weary from his journey, sat just as he was on the well. It was about noon.

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

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

riversident@John:4:20 @ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the proper place to worship."

riversident@John:4:27 @ Upon this came his disciples, and they wondered that he was talking with a woman. But no one said, "What do you want?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"

riversident@John:4:30 @ They came out of the city and were on the way to him.

riversident@John:4:33 @ The disciples said to one another, "Can it be that any one has brought him something to eat?"

riversident@John:4:39 @ From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him on account of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did."

riversident@John:4:41 @ Many more believed on account of his own words,

riversident@John:4:42 @ and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard him and we know that this is truly the Savior of the World."

riversident@John:4:44 @ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his native place.

riversident@John:4:45 @ So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed him because they had seen what he did in Jerusalem at the feast. For they, too, had gone to the feast.

riversident@John:4:46 @ He came again to Cana in Galilee where he had made the water wine. A certain royal officer was there whose son was sick in Capernaum.

riversident@John:4:47 @ This man heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, and he came to him and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death,

riversident@John:4:51 @ Even while he was going down, his servants met him with the word that his son was living.

riversident@John:4:52 @ He inquired of them the hour when he was better. They said to him, "Yesterday at one o'clock the fever left him."

riversident@John:4:54 @ This is the second time that Jesus did a sign just after coming from Judaea to Galilee.

riversident@John:5:2 @ There is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool which is called in Hebrew Bethesda. Around it are five colonnades.

riversident@John:5:6 @ Jesus saw this man lying there and perceiving that he had been there a long time, he said to him,

riversident@John:5:9 @ At once the man became well and took up his pallet and began walking. That day was the Sabbath.

riversident@John:5:16 @ On this account the Jews persecuted Jesus because he did such things on the Sabbath.

riversident@John:5:18 @ On this account the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only kept breaking the Sabbath, but even spoke of God as his own Father, making himself equal with God.

riversident@John:6:1 @ AFTER this Jesus went away beyond the Lake of Galilee (note:)the Lake of Tiberias(:note).

riversident@John:6:2 @ A great crowd was following him because they saw the signs that he was doing upon those who had infirmities.

riversident@John:6:3 @ Jesus had gone up on the mountain and there he was sitting with his disciples.

riversident@John:6:8 @ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

riversident@John:6:10 @ Jesus said, There was much grass in the place. So the men, about five thousand in number, reclined on the ground.

riversident@John:6:14 @ Then the people, seeing the sign that he had done, said, "This is truly the prophet who was to come into the world!"

riversident@John:6:15 @ Jesus, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountain by himself alone.

riversident@John:6:18 @ The lake was getting rough, as a strong wind was blowing.

riversident@John:6:19 @ When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the lake and getting near the boat, and they were frightened.

riversident@John:6:21 @ Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and at once the boat came to the land they were making for.

riversident@John:6:22 @ On the next day the crowd that was standing on the other side of the lake saw that there had been no boat there but the one, and that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away by themselves

riversident@John:6:42 @ and they were saying, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he say now,

riversident@John:6:52 @ The Jews disputed angrily with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

riversident@John:6:66 @ After that many of the disciples drew back from him and no longer went about with him.

riversident@John:6:68 @ Simon Peter answered him, "Sir, to whom shall we go? You have the words of life eternal,

riversident@John:6:69 @ and we are persuaded and know that you are the Holy One of God."

riversident@John:6:71 @ He was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For he was going to betray him, though he was one of the twelve.

riversident@John:7:3 @ His brothers said to him, "Leave this region and go into Judaea so that your disciples may see the works that you are doing.

riversident@John:7:4 @ For no one does anything in secret while desiring to be known publicly. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world."

riversident@John:7:10 @ After his brothers had gone up to the feast, Jesus himself went up, not openly, but somewhat privately.

riversident@John:7:15 @ The Jews were astonished and said, "How does this man know books when he has never been educated?"

riversident@John:7:20 @ The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who is trying to kill you?"

riversident@John:7:27 @ But we know where this man comes from. The Christ, when he comes \'97 no one will know where he comes from."

riversident@John:7:30 @ They tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, for his hour had not yet come.

riversident@John:7:35 @ The Jews said to one another, "Where is this man going that we shall not find him? Will he go to the Jews who are scattered among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

riversident@John:7:36 @ What does this assertion mean,

riversident@John:7:37 @ On the last day, the great day, of the feast Jesus stood and cried out,

riversident@John:7:39 @ This he said referring to the Spirit which those who had believed in him were soon to receive. For as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

riversident@John:7:40 @ Some from the crowd, on hearing these words, said, "This man is truly the prophet."

riversident@John:7:43 @ A division arose in the crowd over him.

riversident@John:7:44 @ Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.

riversident@John:7:48 @ Can it be that any one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in him?

riversident@John:7:50 @ Nicodemus said to them \'97 he who came to Jesus before \'97 being himself one of them,

riversident@John:7:51 @ "Does our Law condemn any man without first hearing from him and learning what he is doing?"

riversident@John:8:5 @ In the Law Moses commanded to stone such. What do you say?"

riversident@John:8:6 @ This they said, testing him, to have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped over and wrote with his finger on the ground.

riversident@John:8:7 @ As they kept on questioning him, he lifted himself up and said to them,

riversident@John:8:8 @ and again he stooped over and went on writing on the ground.

riversident@John:8:9 @ After hearing that, they passed out one by one, beginning with the older men, and he was left alone and the woman there in the center.

riversident@John:8:11 @ She said, "No one, Sir." Jesus said, ]

riversident@John:8:20 @ These words he spoke in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple courts, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.

riversident@John:8:41 @ They said to him, "We were not born of unchastity. We have one father \'97 God."

riversident@John:8:48 @ The Jews answered him, "Do we not say correctly that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

riversident@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died and the prophets died, and you say,

riversident@John:8:59 @ They took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus concealed himself and left the Temple courts.

riversident@John:9:6 @ After saying this, he spit on the ground and made clay with the spittle and put the clay on the man's eyes

riversident@John:9:11 @ He replied, "The man called Jesus made clay and spread it on my eyes and said to me, I went and washed and received my sight."

riversident@John:9:13 @ They brought him to the Pharisees \'97 the man once blind.

riversident@John:9:14 @ It was on the Sabbath day that Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

riversident@John:9:15 @ The Pharisees in their turn asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes and I washed and I saw."

riversident@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man, if he is a sinner, do such signs?" So there was a division among them.

riversident@John:9:19 @ and had asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how can he see now?"

riversident@John:9:20 @ His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind.

riversident@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed Jesus as the Christ, he should be cast out of the synagogue.

riversident@John:9:23 @ For this reason his parents said, "He is of age, ask him."

riversident@John:9:24 @ They called a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."

riversident@John:9:25 @ The man answered, "Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I know, I was blind and now I see."

riversident@John:9:30 @ The man answered them, "There is something wonderful in this. You do not know where he comes from, yet he has opened my eyes!

riversident@John:9:31 @ We know that God does not listen to a sinner, but if any one is God-fearing and does his will, God hears him.

riversident@John:9:32 @ Since the world began it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

riversident@John:10:6 @ This illustration Jesus gave to them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

riversident@John:10:19 @ There was again a division among the Jews, on account of these words.

riversident@John:10:20 @ Many of them said, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to him?"

riversident@John:10:21 @ Others said, "These words are not those of a demoniac. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"

riversident@John:10:22 @ Then came the Feast of Renovation in Jerusalem. It was winter.

riversident@John:10:23 @ Jesus was walking in the Temple courts, in Solomon's Colonnade.

riversident@John:10:24 @ The Jews came in a circle around him and said to him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us frankly."

riversident@John:10:31 @ Again the Jews took up stones to stone him.

riversident@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him, "For a good work we are not stoning you, but for profane words, because you, a man, are making yourself God."

riversident@John:10:40 @ and went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was at first when he was baptizing, and he stayed there.

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

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

riversident@John:11:27 @ She said to him, "Yes, Master. I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

riversident@John:11:38 @ Jesus, again indignant, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying on the entrance.

riversident@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said,

riversident@John:11:46 @ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

riversident@John:11:48 @ If we let him alone in this way, all will believe in him and the Romans will come and destroy our place and nation."

riversident@John:11:49 @ One of them, Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year, said to them, "You do not know anything

riversident@John:11:50 @ nor do you reason that it is better for you that one man should die for the people and so the whole nation escape destruction."

riversident@John:11:51 @ He did not say this of himself, but being High Priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

riversident@John:11:52 @ and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God now scattered far and wide.

riversident@John:11:54 @ So Jesus no more walked about openly among the Jews, but went away from there into the country near the wild lands, to a city called Ephraim, and there he stayed with his disciples.

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

riversident@John:11:57 @ The high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that, if any one knew where he was, he should report it so that they might arrest him.

riversident@John:12:2 @ There they made a dinner for him. Martha waited on them, and Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him.

riversident@John:12:4 @ Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, the one who was going to betray him, said,

riversident@John:12:5 @ "Why was not this perfume sold for three hundred shillings and the money given to the poor?"

riversident@John:12:9 @ A great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not on account of Jesus alone, but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

riversident@John:12:11 @ because many of the Jews on account of him went and believed in Jesus.

riversident@John:12:12 @ On the next day the great crowd which had come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

riversident@John:12:14 @ Jesus, finding a young ass, sat on it, as it is written,

riversident@John:12:15 @ "Fear not, daughter of Zion! Behold, your King comes, sitting on the foal of an ass!"

riversident@John:12:16 @ These things his disciples did not understand at first, but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written of him and had been done to him.

riversident@John:12:18 @ For this reason the crowd went to meet him, because they had heard that he had done this sign.

riversident@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees said among themselves, "You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone off after him."

riversident@John:12:20 @ There were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the feast.

riversident@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

riversident@John:12:37 @ But, though he had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him,

riversident@John:12:39 @ For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah said again,

riversident@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless, even of the rulers many did believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, in order not to be expelled from the synagogue;

riversident@John:13:2 @ During supper, the Devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,

riversident@John:13:6 @ He came to Simon Peter. Peter said to him, "Master, are you washing my feet?"

riversident@John:13:9 @ Simon Peter said to him, "Master, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."

riversident@John:13:11 @ For he knew the one who was going to betray him. For this reason he said,

riversident@John:13:22 @ The disciples looked at one another wondering whom he meant.

riversident@John:13:23 @ One of his disciples was leaning on Jesus' breast \'97 the one Jesus loved.

riversident@John:13:24 @ Simon Peter nodded to him and said, "Say who it is that he is speaking of."

riversident@John:13:25 @ He, leaning back on the breast of Jesus, said to him, "Master, who is it?"

riversident@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, When he had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas the son of Simon Iscariot.

riversident@John:13:28 @ No one of those reclining at the table understood why he said this to him.

riversident@John:13:31 @ When Judas had gone, Jesus said,

riversident@John:13:36 @ Simon Peter said to him, "Master, where are you going?" Jesus answered,

riversident@John:16:17 @ Some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he says, and,

riversident@John:16:30 @ Now we know that you know all things and that you have no need to have any one question you. From this we believe that you have come forth from God."

riversident@John:18:1 @ WHEN Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron to a place where there was a garden. Into this he entered with his disciples.

riversident@John:18:3 @ So Judas, getting a battalion of soldiers and some subordinate officers of the high priests and the Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.

riversident@John:18:4 @ Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, came forward and said to them,

riversident@John:18:7 @ Again he questioned them, They said, "Jesus the Nazarene."

riversident@John:18:10 @ Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck a servant of the High Priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

riversident@John:18:12 @ So the battalion and the Tribune and the Jewish policemen arrested Jesus and bound him

riversident@John:18:14 @ Caiaphas was the man who had advised the Jews that it was best that one man should die for the people.

riversident@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter was following Jesus and so was another disciple. That disciple was known to the High Priest and he went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest.

riversident@John:18:17 @ The girl at the door said to Peter, "You are not one of this man's disciples, too, are you?" He said, "I am not."

riversident@John:18:19 @ The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

riversident@John:18:25 @ Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "Are not you also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not."

riversident@John:18:26 @ One of the servants of the High Priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

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

riversident@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

riversident@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I should release for you one at the Passover. Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

riversident@John:19:2 @ The soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and placed it on his head, threw around him a purple cloak,

riversident@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered, "We have a law and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."

riversident@John:19:12 @ After this, Pilate kept trying to release him, but the Jews shouted, "If you let this man go you are not a friend of Caesar. Every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

riversident@John:19:13 @ Pilate, on hearing these words, brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat in the place called the Mosaic Pavement \'97 in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

riversident@John:19:14 @ It was the Preparation Day of the Passover, about noon. He said to the Jews, "See your king!"

riversident@John:19:17 @ and laid on him his cross and went out to what is called Skull Place \'97 in Hebrew, Golgotha \'97

riversident@John:19:18 @ where they crucified him. And with him they crucified two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus between them.

riversident@John:19:19 @ Pilate wrote a sign and put it up on the cross. It was written:

riversident@John:19:24 @ They said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots who shall have it." This was so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "They parted my garments among them and on my clothing they cast lots." The soldiers did this.

riversident@John:19:29 @ A pitcher was standing there full of sour wine. Putting a sponge full of sour wine on a hyssop stem, they raised it to his mouth.

riversident@John:19:31 @ The Jews, because it was Preparation Day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, for that Sabbath was a great day, requested Pilate to have their legs broken to kill them.

riversident@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers with his spear pierced his side and immediately there came forth blood and water.

riversident@John:19:36 @ For this happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him shall not be broken."

riversident@John:19:37 @ And again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they have pierced."

riversident@John:19:38 @ After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate permission to carry away the body of Jesus, and Pilate granted it. So he came and carried his body away.

riversident@John:19:41 @ There was in the place where he had been crucified a garden and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had been laid.

riversident@John:19:42 @ There, on account of the Preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

riversident@John:20:1 @ ON the first day of the week, early in the morning while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been taken from the tomb.

riversident@John:20:2 @ She ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Master from the tomb and we do not know where they have laid him."

riversident@John:20:3 @ Simon Peter and the other disciple went out and made their way to the tomb.

riversident@John:20:6 @ Simon Peter came following him and entered the tomb and looked at the linen cloths lying

riversident@John:20:12 @ and saw two angels in white sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had lain.

riversident@John:20:16 @ Jesus said to her, She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (note:)that is, Teacher(:note).

riversident@John:20:20 @ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy on seeing the Master.

riversident@John:20:22 @ When he had said this, he breathed on them and said,

riversident@John:20:24 @ Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus (note:)the Twin(:note), was not with them when Jesus came.

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

riversident@John:21:2 @ There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called Didymus (note:)the Twin(:note), and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee and two other disciples.

riversident@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said, "We will go along with you." They went out and got into a boat, but that night they caught nothing.

riversident@John:21:4 @ When day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach. The disciples, however, did not recognize that it was Jesus.

riversident@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Master!" Simon Peter, on hearing that it was the Master, girded around him his blouse, for he was naked, and threw himself into the lake.

riversident@John:21:9 @ When they had gotten out on land, they saw a fire of coals and fish laid on it and bread.

riversident@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter got into the boat and drew the net to land full of big fishes \'97 a hundred and fifty-three \'97 and though there were so many the net was not torn.

riversident@John:21:12 @ Jesus said, No one of the disciples dared to ask him who he was, knowing that it was the Master.

riversident@John:21:15 @ When they had breakfasted, Jesus said to Simon Peter, He said to him, "Yes, Master, you know that I love you." He said to him,

riversident@John:21:16 @ He said to him a second time, He said to him, "Yes, Master, you know that I love you." He said to him,

riversident@John:21:20 @ Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved, following. (note:)It was he who at the supper had leaned on Jesus' breast and said, "Lord, who is it that will betray you? "(:note)

riversident@John:21:23 @ So the report went out among the brethren that that disciple was not to die. But Jesus did not say to Peter that he would not die, but,

riversident@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who witnesses to these things and who wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

riversident@John:21:25 @ There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these are written, every one, I do not think that the world itself will have room for the books when written.

riversident@Acts:1:9 @ He said this and then, while they were looking on, he was taken up and a cloud lifted him from their sight.

riversident@Acts:1:13 @ When they came into the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying. There were 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.

riversident@Acts:1:14 @ All of these continued earnestly and unitedly in prayer with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with his brothers.

riversident@Acts:1:16 @ "Brethren, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became guide to those who arrested Jesus.

riversident@Acts:1:17 @ For he was numbered among us and received a share in this service.

riversident@Acts:1:18 @ (This man bought a piece of land with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst asunder and all his entrails were poured out.

riversident@Acts:1:21 @ It is needful, therefore, that of the men who have been with us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

riversident@Acts:1:22 @ from the baptism of John down to the day that he was taken up from us \'97 that one of these should become a witness with us of his resurrection."

riversident@Acts:1:24 @ In prayer they said, "O Lord, thou who knowest the hearts of all, show which one of these two thou has chosen

riversident@Acts:1:26 @ Then they cast lots between them. The lot fell on Matthias and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

riversident@Acts:2:2 @ when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a strong rushing wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

riversident@Acts:2:3 @ Then there appeared to them, as it were, tongues of flame distributing themselves, and one rested on each of them.

riversident@Acts:2:4 @ They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in foreign tongues, as the Spirit gave them power of expression.

riversident@Acts:2:5 @ There were Jews living in Jerusalem, pious men from every nation under heaven.

riversident@Acts:2:6 @ When this sound was heard, the crowd came together and were astonished because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

riversident@Acts:2:7 @ They were amazed and, wondering, said, "Are not all these who are talking, Galilaean?

riversident@Acts:10:45 @ All the believers who were of the circumcision who had come along with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Gentiles,

riversident@Acts:10:46 @ for they heard them speaking with tongues and glorifying God. Then Peter said,

riversident@Acts:10:47 @ "Can any one forbid water for the baptism of these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?"

riversident@Acts:11:2 @ When Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision criticized him,

riversident@Acts:11:4 @ But Peter began and explained consecutively all that had happened. He said,

riversident@Acts:11:5 @ "I was in the city of Joppa and was praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. Something like a great sheet was descending, lowered from heaven by the four corners, and it came to where I was.

riversident@Acts:14:10 @ said in a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet." He sprang up and walked about.

riversident@Acts:14:11 @ When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in Lycaonian, "The gods have taken human form and come down to us."

riversident@Acts:14:13 @ Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of the city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates, followed by the crowds, and intended to offer sacrifice.

riversident@Acts:14:16 @ In past generations he permitted all the nations to go their own ways,

riversident@Acts:14:17 @ though he did not leave himself without evidence, for he did you good and gave rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness."

riversident@Acts:14:19 @ But Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds, and they stoned Paul and dragged him outside of the city, thinking that he was dead.

riversident@Acts:14:20 @ But when the disciples gathered around him he rose up and reentered the city. On the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

riversident@Acts:14:21 @ Telling the good news in that city they made a number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,

riversident@Acts:14:27 @ Upon their arrival they assembled the church and narrated all that God, working with them, had done, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

riversident@Acts:15:2 @ Since no little dissension and controversy arose between Paul and Barnabas and these men, it was arranged that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.

riversident@Acts:15:3 @ So they were sent on by the church and passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles, which caused great joy to all the brethren.

riversident@Acts:15:4 @ On their arrival in Jerusalem they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they narrated all that God, working with them, had done.

riversident@Acts:15:6 @ The apostles and elders met to confer about this matter.

riversident@Acts:15:7 @ After there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in early days God chose among you that through my mouth the Gentiles should hear the message of good news and should believe.

riversident@Acts:15:10 @ Now, therefore, why are you testing God by putting on the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

riversident@Acts:15:11 @ On the contrary we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus just as they are."

riversident@Acts:15:12 @ The whole assembly remained silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul relating all the signs and wonders that God had done through them among the Gentiles.

riversident@Acts:15:14 @ Symeon has told how first God graciously visited the Gentiles and took a people for his name.

riversident@Acts:15:32 @ Both Judas and Silas, being themselves prophets, encouraged and confirmed the brethren by long addresses.

riversident@Acts:15:35 @ Paul and Barnabas stayed on in Antioch teaching and telling, in association with many others, the good news of the Lord's message.

riversident@Acts:15:37 @ Barnabas wished to take along John who was called Mark.

riversident@Acts:15:38 @ But Paul did not approve of taking him along, since he had left them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them into the work.

riversident@Acts:16:1 @ THEY came to Derbe and Lystra. At Lystra there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman, who was a believer, and of a Greek father.

riversident@Acts:16:2 @ He had a good reputation among the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.

riversident@Acts:16:4 @ Thus they traveled through the cities and delivered to the disciples for observance the rules that had been decided on by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem.

riversident@Acts:16:7 @ Upon reaching Mysia they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

riversident@Acts:16:9 @ There a vision appeared to Paul in the night \'97 a Macedonian man was standing and begging him saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us."

riversident@Acts:16:10 @ After Paul had seen the vision, we at once tried to go out to Macedonia, inferring that God had called on us to tell the good news to the people there.

riversident@Acts:16:11 @ Sailing away from Troas we made a straight run to Samothrace, and on the next day to Neapolis.

riversident@Acts:16:12 @ From there we went to Philippi, which is the first city of that part of Macedonia and is a Roman colony. We remained in that city for a number of days.

riversident@Acts:16:13 @ On the Sabbath day we went outside of the gate to a place on the riverside where it was customary to go for prayer, and we sat down and talked with the women who had gathered there.

riversident@Acts:16:14 @ One woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple, from the city of Thyatira, who reverenced God, was listening. God opened her heart to receive what was said by Paul.

riversident@Acts:16:15 @ When she had been baptized along with her household, she begged us, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay," and she insisted on our doing so.

riversident@Acts:16:16 @ It so happened that as we were going to the place of prayer a certain slave girl who had a spirit of divination met us. She was bringing great gain to her masters by divining.

riversident@Acts:16:17 @ She followed Paul and us and kept calling out, "These men are servants of God Most High, and they are teaching you the way of salvation."

riversident@Acts:16:19 @ When her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold of Paul and Silas and dragged them into the public square before the authorities.

riversident@Acts:16:22 @ The crowd joined in the attack upon them, and the magistrates tore off their clothes and ordered them to be beaten with rods.

riversident@Acts:16:23 @ After laying many stripes upon them they cast them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them securely.

riversident@Acts:16:24 @ He on receiving such an order thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet secure in the stocks.

riversident@Acts:16:25 @ But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening.

riversident@Acts:16:26 @ Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were loosed.

riversident@Acts:16:27 @ The jailer, waking from sleep and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped.

riversident@Acts:16:36 @ The jailer told this order to Paul, "The magistrates have sent to have you set at liberty. Now go out and proceed on your journey in peace."

riversident@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, "After beating us publicly and without a trial, although we are Romans, they cast us into prison. And are they now sending us out secretly? No, let them come themselves and lead us out."

riversident@Acts:16:40 @ They came out of the prison and went into Lydia's house, and after seeing and encouraging the brethren they departed.

riversident@Acts:17:1 @ AFTER passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia they came to Thessalonica. Here there was a synagogue of the Jews.

riversident@Acts:17:2 @ According to Paul's custom he went in to meet with them, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

riversident@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews became excited and, taking with them some of the base loafers from the market-place, they made a mob and threw the city into confusion. They attacked the house of Jason and tried to bring Paul and Silas out to the people.

riversident@Acts:17:6 @ Not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the magistrates, shouting, "These men who have upset the world have now come here.

riversident@Acts:17:7 @ Jason has received them. They all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is a different king \'97 Jesus."

riversident@Acts:17:8 @ Both the crowd and the magistrates were disturbed on hearing this.

riversident@Acts:17:9 @ So they took security from Jason and the rest and then dismissed them.

riversident@Acts:17:10 @ The brethren immediately sent off Paul and Silas in the night to Beraea. They on arrival went into the synagogue of the Jews.

riversident@Acts:17:11 @ These people were nobler than those in Thessalonica. They welcomed the message with all readiness and examined the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

riversident@Acts:17:12 @ Consequently many of them believed, and also not a few Greeks; women of high standing and men.

riversident@Acts:17:13 @ When the Jews of Thessalonica learned that God's message had been proclaimed by Paul also in Beraea, they came there agitating and disturbing the crowds.

riversident@Acts:17:14 @ At once then the brethren sent away Paul to go down to the sea coast. Silas and Timothy remained there.

riversident@Acts:17:15 @ Those who were conducting Paul took him as far as Athens, and, after receiving a letter to Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they left.

riversident@Acts:17:16 @ While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred within him as he looked upon the city full of idols.

riversident@Acts:17:17 @ He often debated in the synagogue with the Jews and pious persons, and in the market-place every day with whoever happened to be there.

riversident@Acts:17:18 @ Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him, and some said, "What can this idle talker mean?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods," because he was telling the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.

riversident@Acts:17:19 @ They took him and led him up on to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new doctrine that you are speaking of is?

riversident@Acts:17:23 @ For in passing about and contemplating your sacred objects I came upon an altar on which was inscribed, 'To an unknown God.' What you are worshiping in ignorance \'97 that I am making known to you.

riversident@Acts:17:26 @ And he made of one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having marked out the appointed times and the boundaries of their abodes,

riversident@Acts:17:27 @ that they might seek for God, if they could feel after him and find him, though, indeed, he is not far from each one of us.

riversident@Acts:17:29 @ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that deity is like gold or silver or stone, a thing carved by man's art and thought.

riversident@Acts:17:31 @ since he has set a day in which he will soon judge the world in justice by the man whom he has appointed, and of whom he has given evidence to all men by raising him from the dead."

riversident@Acts:17:32 @ When they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some sneered; others said, "We will hear you again about this."

riversident@Acts:17:34 @ But certain men attached themselves to him and believed. Among them was Dionysius the Areopagite, and there was a woman named Damaris and several other persons.

riversident@Acts:18:2 @ There he found a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus but recently come from Italy with Priscilla his wife, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul visited these people,

riversident@Acts:18:4 @ But in the synagogue every Sabbath he reasoned and endeavored to persuade both Jews and Greeks.

riversident@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was absorbed by the message, bearing witness to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

riversident@Acts:18:6 @ When they resisted and spoke profane words, he rent his garments and said to them, "Your blood is on your own heads. I am clear, and from now on I am going to the Gentiles."

riversident@Acts:18:9 @ The Lord spoke in the night by a vision to Paul,

riversident@Acts:18:11 @ So he stayed a year and six months, teaching among them the message of God.

riversident@Acts:18:12 @ While Gallio was Proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one mind made an attack on Paul and brought him before the court,

riversident@Acts:18:13 @ saying, "This man is inducing men to worship God in a way contrary to law."

riversident@Acts:18:14 @ As Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it was some crime or wicked knavery, O you Jews, I would have reasonable patience with you.

riversident@Acts:18:17 @ Then they laid hold of Sosthenes, the synagogue Director, and beat him right in front of the judge's seat. But Gallio cared for none of these things.

riversident@Acts:18:19 @ They came to Ephesus and Paul left his companions there. He himself went into the synagogue and debated with the Jews.

riversident@Acts:18:20 @ Although they begged him to stay longer, he did not consent,

riversident@Acts:18:25 @ He was strong in knowledge of the Scriptures and had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and, being very earnest in spirit, was teaching accurately about Jesus, although he knew no baptism but John's.

riversident@Acts:19:2 @ He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They said to him, "On the contrary, we did not even hear that there was a Holy Spirit."

riversident@Acts:19:4 @ Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of a change of heart, telling the people to believe in one who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus."

riversident@Acts:19:5 @ On hearing that, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus,

riversident@Acts:19:6 @ and when Paul laid his hands on them the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

riversident@Acts:19:8 @ For three months Paul went into the synagogue and spoke fearlessly, arguing persuasively regarding the kingdom of God.

riversident@Acts:19:9 @ When some were hardened and would not believe and spoke evil of the Way before the congregation, he departed from them and took away his disciples and discussed daily in the lecture-hall of Tyrannus.

riversident@Acts:19:10 @ This went on for two years, so that all the inhabitants of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the message of the Lord.

riversident@Acts:19:12 @ so that handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched his body were carried to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits departed.

riversident@Acts:19:14 @ There were seven sons of a certain Sceva, a Jewish high priest, who did this.

riversident@Acts:19:16 @ and the man in whom the evil spirit was sprang on them and overpowered both of them, and so belabored them that they fled from that house naked and wounded.

riversident@Acts:19:17 @ This became known to all who were living in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks, and awe fell on all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus came to be held in high honor.

riversident@Acts:19:18 @ Many of those who had become believers came confessing and telling of their practices.

riversident@Acts:19:21 @ When these things had been accomplished Paul took it in mind to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there I must see Rome also."

riversident@Acts:19:22 @ He sent on into Macedonia two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, but he himself remained awhile in Asia.

riversident@Acts:19:23 @ At that time there arose no small commotion about the Way.

riversident@Acts:19:26 @ and you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but also throughout almost all Asia this Paul has persuaded and drawn away a large number, saying that hand-made gods are not gods at all.

riversident@Acts:19:27 @ Not only is this trade of ours in danger of coming into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis is in danger of being held of no account, and she whom now all Asia and the wide world worship will be deposed from her majesty."

riversident@Acts:19:28 @ Upon hearing this, they became full of anger and shouted, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"

riversident@Acts:19:29 @ The city was filled with confusion, and the people rushed with one mind into the theater, having gotten hold of Gaius and Aristarchus, fellow travelers of Paul's.

riversident@Acts:19:32 @ Some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and the most did not know why they had come together.

riversident@Acts:19:33 @ Some of the crowd fixed on Alexander, since the Jews were putting him forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand and wished to make a defense before the people.

riversident@Acts:19:34 @ But when they recognized that he was a Jew, there arose one shout from all for about two hours, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"

riversident@Acts:19:38 @ If Demetrius and the artisans with him have a charge against any one, there are court days and there are proconsuls; let the parties state their cases.

riversident@Acts:19:40 @ For we are in danger of being called in question regarding to-day's mob, and we shall not be able to give a reason for this tumult."

riversident@Acts:20:1 @ WHEN the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and, after encouraging them, he bade them farewell and left to proceed to Macedonia.

riversident@Acts:20:3 @ There he spent three months. When a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.

riversident@Acts:20:4 @ There were in company with him Sopater of Beraea, the son of Pyrrhus, and of the Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy, and from Asia Tychicus and Trophimus.

riversident@Acts:20:5 @ These went on and were waiting for us in Troas.

riversident@Acts:20:7 @ On the first day of the week, when we all were assembled to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, being about to leave in the morning, and he extended his address until midnight.

riversident@Acts:20:9 @ A certain young man named Eutychus, sitting in a window, was overcome with deep sleep while Paul went on discoursing. At last overpowered by sleep he fell from the third story and was taken up dead.

riversident@Acts:20:10 @ But Paul went down and threw himself on him and embraced him and said, "Do not make a noisy wailing; for his life is still in him."

riversident@Acts:20:11 @ Then he went up and broke bread and ate and talked on till daybreak and so departed.

riversident@Acts:20:13 @ We went in advance to the ship and sailed for Assos, intending to take on Paul there, for so he had arranged, intending to come himself by land.

riversident@Acts:20:15 @ From there we sailed next day and arrived off Chios. The next day we came to Samos, and on the following day to Miletus.

riversident@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus in order not to spend time in Asia. He was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost.

riversident@Acts:21:26 @ Then Paul on the next day took the men, and, after purifying himself, entered the Temple courts, giving notice of the completion of the days of purification \'97 the time until a sacrifice would have been offered for each one of them.

riversident@Acts:21:27 @ But when the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from Asia saw him in the Temple courts, and stirred up all the crowd and laid their hands on Paul,

riversident@Acts:21:31 @ As they were trying to kill him, word went up to the Tribune of the battalion that all Jerusalem was in commotion.

riversident@Acts:21:32 @ He at once took soldiers and centurions and ran down to the people. They, on seeing the Tribune and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.

riversident@Acts:21:33 @ Then the Tribune coming up arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.

riversident@Acts:21:34 @ Some called out one thing and some another in the crowd. Not being able to find out anything for certain on account of the confusion, he ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks.

riversident@Acts:21:35 @ When Paul got upon the stairs, it so happened that he was being carried by the soldiers on account of the violence of the mob.

riversident@Acts:21:38 @ Are you then not the Egyptian who some time ago raised a sedition and led off four thousand assassins into the desert?"

riversident@Acts:21:40 @ He gave him leave, and Paul standing on the stairs motioned with his hand to the people. There was a great silence, and, speaking loudly in Hebrew, Paul said:

riversident@Acts:22:2 @ Hearing him speaking to them in the Hebrew language, they kept all the more quiet. He continued:

riversident@Acts:22:4 @ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prison both men and women,

riversident@Acts:22:5 @ as the High Priest and all the eldership can testify for me. From them I received letters to the brethren and was journeying to Damascus in order to bring back in chains to Jerusalem for punishment those who had gone there.

riversident@Acts:22:6 @ It happened that as I was journeying and nearing Damascus, about noon, suddenly a great light flashed from heaven around me.

riversident@Acts:22:9 @ My companions saw the light, but did not hear the voice of him who spoke to me.

riversident@Acts:22:11 @ Since I could not see, owing to the brightness of that light, my companions led me by the hand, and so I entered Damascus.

riversident@Acts:22:14 @ He said, 'The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One and to hear the voice from his mouth,

riversident@Acts:22:26 @ On hearing that, the Centurion went to the Tribune and told him," What are you going to do? For this man is a Roman."

riversident@Acts:22:28 @ The Tribune said, "I obtained this citizenship by paying a great sum of money." Paul said, "But I was born to it."

riversident@Acts:22:29 @ At once those who were about to examine him went away from him, and the Tribune was alarmed when he learned that he was a Roman, because he had chained him.

riversident@Acts:22:30 @ On the next day, wishing to know certainly why he was accused by the Jews, the Tribune loosed Paul and ordered the high priests and all the Council to assemble, and brought Paul down and stood him before them.

riversident@Acts:23:1 @ PAUL fixed his eyes on the Council and said, "Brethren, I have conducted myself with all good conscience toward God up to this day."

riversident@Acts:23:2 @ The High Priest Ananias told those who stood near him to strike him on the mouth.

riversident@Acts:23:3 @ Then Paul said to him, "God will soon strike you, you whitewashed wall. Are you sitting to judge me by the Law and yet violating the Law by ordering me to be struck?"

riversident@Acts:23:6 @ Then Paul, perceiving that one party was of Sadducees and the other of Pharisees, shouted out in the Council, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. I am being tried for the hope of the resurrection of the dead."

riversident@Acts:23:7 @ On his saying this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly became divided.

riversident@Acts:23:8 @ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection nor any angel or spirit, but the Pharisees confess both.

riversident@Acts:23:9 @ So a great uproar arose, and some of the scribes of the party of the Pharisees arose and contended, saying, "We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?"

riversident@Acts:23:11 @ On the following night the Lord stood beside Paul and said,

riversident@Acts:23:12 @ When it was day, the Jews made a conspiracy and bound themselves by an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

riversident@Acts:23:16 @ But the son of Paul's sister heard of the ambush, and he came and entered the barracks and told Paul.

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

riversident@Acts:23:18 @ He took him and led him to the Tribune and said, "Paul, the prisoner, called me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to say to you."

riversident@Acts:23:22 @ The Tribune dismissed the young man after charging him; "Tell no one that you have revealed this to me."

riversident@Acts:23:23 @ Then calling to him two of the centurions he said, "Prepare two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, at nine o'clock to-night."

riversident@Acts:23:29 @ I found him accused regarding disputed questions of their law, but of nothing deserving of death or of bonds.

riversident@Acts:23:30 @ Information has come to me that there will be a plot against the man, and so I am sending him at once to you, and I have commanded his accusers to state their case against him before you."

riversident@Acts:23:31 @ So the soldiers, according to their orders, took Paul and conducted him by night to Antipatris.

riversident@Acts:23:32 @ On the next day they let the horsemen go on with him, but they themselves returned to the barracks.

riversident@Acts:23:33 @ The horsemen came on to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the Governor, and also placed Paul before him.

riversident@Acts:24:2 @ When Paul had been called in, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "Because we enjoy great peace through your administration and reforms are taking place for this nation through your prudence,

riversident@Acts:24:5 @ We have found this man a pest and an inciter of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a leader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

riversident@Acts:24:23 @ He gave orders to the Centurion to guard him, but to let him have indulgence, and not to hinder any of his friends from attending to his wants.

riversident@Acts:24:25 @ While Paul was reasoning about righteousness and self-discipline and the judgment that is to come, Felix became alarmed and said," Go for the present. When I find a convenient time I will send for you."

riversident@Acts:24:26 @ At the same time he was in hopes that money would be given him by Paul and therefore he used to send for him more frequently and converse with him.

riversident@Acts:25:3 @ and begged as a favor that he would send for him to Jerusalem, intending to have an ambush and kill him on the road.

riversident@Acts:25:5 @ "Let those of you who can," he said, "go down with me, and, if there is anything wrong about the man, let them bring their charges against him."

riversident@Acts:25:6 @ After spending not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea and on the next day took his seat on the judge's bench and ordered Paul to be brought in.

riversident@Acts:25:8 @ while Paul claimed in his own defense, "Neither against the Jewish Law nor against the Temple courts nor against Caesar, have I committed any wrong."

riversident@Acts:25:11 @ If I am in the wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not ask not to die. But if there is nothing in the accusations of these men, no one has the power to give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."

riversident@Acts:25:14 @ As they were spending a good many days there, Festus laid Paul's case before the King. "There is a man here," he said, "who was left a prisoner by Felix,

riversident@Acts:25:15 @ against whom when I was in Jerusalem the high priests and the elders of the Jews had much to say, asking to have him condemned.

riversident@Acts:25:20 @ Being at a loss about a question of this kind, I asked if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on the charges.

riversident@Acts:25:21 @ But when Paul appealed to be kept for the examination of the Emperor, I ordered him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar."

riversident@Acts:25:23 @ So on the next day Agrippa came and Bernice with much display, and they entered the auditorium with the military tribunes and the principal men of the city, and at Festus' command Paul was led in.

riversident@Acts:25:24 @ Festus said, "King Agrippa and all present here with us, you see this man against whom all the multitude of the Jews pleaded with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.

riversident@Acts:25:25 @ But I understood that he had done nothing worthy of death, and when he himself had appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

riversident@Acts:25:26 @ Concerning him I have nothing certain to write to my Lord. Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that after an examination I may have something to write.

riversident@Acts:27:1 @ WHEN it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they committed Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of an imperial battalion.

riversident@Acts:27:2 @ Going on board a ship of Adramyttium which was about to sail to the places along the coast of Asia we put to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.

riversident@Acts:27:3 @ On the next day we reached Sidon, where Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to go to see his friends and enjoy their attentions.

riversident@Acts:27:4 @ Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus because the winds were contrary.

riversident@Acts:27:6 @ There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy and put us on board of her.

riversident@Acts:27:7 @ By slow sailing for many days we with difficulty arrived off Cnidus. Then the wind being against us, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone

riversident@Acts:27:10 @ "Men," he said, "I see that the voyage is going to be rough and with much loss not only of the cargo and the ship but also of our lives."

riversident@Acts:27:11 @ But the Centurion listened more to the sailing master and the ship owner than to what Paul said,

riversident@Acts:27:12 @ and as the harbor was not convenient to winter in, the majority adopted the purpose of sailing away on the chance of being able to reach Phoenix and winter there. Phoenix is a harbor of Crete facing the southwest and the northwest.

riversident@Acts:27:13 @ When the south wind blew softly, thinking that they had secured their purpose, they weighed anchor and coasted along Crete.

riversident@Acts:27:14 @ But before long a hurricane, such as is called Euraquilo, swept down off the land.

riversident@Acts:27:16 @ Running under the lee of an island called Cauda, we contrived with difficulty to secure the small boat.

riversident@Acts:27:17 @ When we had got it in, we used ropes to undergird the ship. Fearing that we might get stranded on the Syrtis, they lowered the sail and so drifted.

riversident@Acts:27:18 @ So violently were we battered by the storm that on the next day they lightened the ship

riversident@Acts:27:19 @ and on the third day with their own hands they threw over the ship's tackle.

riversident@Acts:27:20 @ When for many days neither sun nor stars appeared and no small tempest lay on us, at last all hope of our being saved was being taken away.

riversident@Acts:27:21 @ After they had long gone without food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, "Men, you ought to have listened to me and not to have sailed away from Crete and met this rough experience and loss.

riversident@Acts:27:22 @ But now I beg you to have courage, for there will be no loss of life of any of you, but only of the ship.

riversident@Acts:27:26 @ We must, however, run on to a certain island."

riversident@Acts:27:30 @ The sailors were intent on escaping from the ship and lowered the small boat into the sea under the pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,

riversident@Acts:27:31 @ but Paul said to the Centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."

riversident@Acts:27:33 @ Until day began to dawn, Paul kept urging all to take food. He said, "To-day is the fourteenth day that you have been on the watch fasting, not taking anything.

riversident@Acts:27:34 @ Therefore, I beg you, take some food. For this is for your safety. Not a hair of the head of any one of you is going to perish."

riversident@Acts:27:40 @ So abandoning the anchors they left them in the sea; at the same time loosening the bands of the steering oars and raising the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

riversident@Acts:27:42 @ The soldiers' advice was to kill the prisoners for fear that some one of them might swim out and escape.

riversident@Acts:27:43 @ But the Centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them back from their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to shore,

riversident@Acts:27:44 @ and the rest to follow, some on boards and some on things from the ship. And so all got safe to land.

riversident@Acts:28:2 @ The foreign people showed us uncommon kindness. For they kindled a fire and welcomed us all because of the rain that was falling and the cold.

riversident@Acts:28:3 @ Paul had collected a bundle of sticks and laid it on the fire, when a snake came out of the heat and fastened on his hand.

riversident@Acts:28:4 @ When the foreigners saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, although he has escaped the sea, Justice does not permit to live."

riversident@Acts:28:6 @ They kept watching to see him swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after watching a long time and seeing nothing amiss happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

riversident@Acts:28:7 @ In the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the Governor of the island, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us and for three days hospitably entertained us.

riversident@Acts:28:8 @ It happened that the father of Publius was lying ill with fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him.

riversident@Acts:28:10 @ They bestowed many honors on us and when we sailed they put on board supplies for our needs.

riversident@Acts:28:11 @ After three months we sailed in a ship that had wintered in the island. She was from Alexandria and her figure-head was the Twin Brothers.

riversident@Acts:28:13 @ From there we came around and got to Rhegium. After one day there, a south wind sprang up and we came on the second day to Puteoli.

riversident@Acts:28:15 @ From there the brethren, when they got news of us, came to meet us as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Taverns. On seeing them Paul thanked God and took courage.

riversident@Acts:28:17 @ After three days he invited the leading men among the Jews, and when they had assembled, he said to them, "Brethren, although I had done nothing against our people or our ancestral customs, I was delivered up as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

riversident@Acts:28:18 @ They, after investigating my case, wished to set me free because I had done nothing deserving of death.

riversident@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not that I have any charge to bring against my own nation.

riversident@Acts:28:20 @ For this reason I have invited you to see me and talk with me; because it is for the sake of the hope of Israel that I have this chain around me."

riversident@Acts:28:21 @ They said to him, "We on our part have received no letters about you from Judaea nor has any one of the brethren come and reported or spoken anything evil of you.

riversident@Acts:28:23 @ They appointed a day for him and many came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying to the kingdom of God, trying to persuade them concerning Jesus from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from early morning until evening.

riversident@Acts:28:25 @ They dispersed, disagreeing with one another, after Paul had said one word, "Well said the Holy Spirit through Isaiah, the prophet, to your fathers,

riversident@Romans:4:20 @ Still he did not hesitate through want of faith in the promise of God, but was strong in faith, thus giving glory to God,

riversident@Romans:4:21 @ and was fully confident that what God had promised he was able to perform.

riversident@Romans:4:23 @ It was not written for his sake only, that it was credited to him,

riversident@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered up on account of our sins and was raised again that we might be accounted righteous.

riversident@Romans:5:3 @ Not only so, but we also exult in trials, knowing that trial develops endurance,

riversident@Romans:5:7 @ Hardly for a righteous man will any one die. For a good man some one perhaps may dare to die.

riversident@Romans:5:9 @ Much more then, now that we have been pronounced righteous through his blood, shall we be saved from wrath by him.

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

riversident@Romans:5:11 @ And not only so, but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained the reconciliation.

riversident@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore as through one man sin entered the world, and through sin death entered, and so death spread to all men, since all sinned \'97

riversident@Romans:5:15 @ But the gracious gift is not like the fall. For if by the fall of the one the many sinned, much more did the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ abound to the many.

riversident@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift was not like the sentence that came through one who sinned; for the sentence came from one fall for condemnation, but the free gift was that men should be called righteous in spite of many falls.

riversident@Romans:5:17 @ For if by the fall of one man death reigned through that one, much more those who receive the abounding grace and the free gift of righteousness will reign in life through one, that is, through Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:5:18 @ As then through one fall sentence came upon all men and they were condemned; so through one righteous act the free gift came to all men so that they are pronounced righteous and live.

riversident@Romans:5:19 @ For as by the disobedience of the one man the many were set down as sinners, so by the obedience of the one the many will be set down as righteous.

riversident@Romans:5:20 @ But law came in alongside that the fall might be greater; but where sin became greater grace became greater still,

riversident@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have grown into union with him by the likeness of his death, surely we shall be united with him by the likeness of his resurrection.

riversident@Romans:6:6 @ For we know this, that our old-time humanity was crucified with him, in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we might no longer be slaves of sin.

riversident@Romans:6:7 @ For one who has died has been pronounced righteous and free from sin.

riversident@Romans:6:10 @ For the death that he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

riversident@Romans:6:13 @ and do not yield your members to sin as the instruments of wickedness; but present yourselves to God as men once dead, but now living, and yield your members to God as the instruments of righteousness.

riversident@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves as servants intending obedience, you are the servants of the one you obey, whether of sin, resulting in death, or of obedience, resulting in righteousness?

riversident@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking humanly on account of the weakness of your human nature. As you did present your members as servants to impurity and to lawlessness to do lawlessness, so now you have presented your members as servants to righteousness for holy living.

riversident@Romans:7:1 @ ARE you ignorant, brethren, for I am speaking to those who know law, that the Law rules over a person while he is living?

riversident@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh the sinful passions that arise through the Law were active in our members, so that we bore fruit to death.

riversident@Romans:7:6 @ But now the Law has been made inoperative on us, since we have died to that by which we were held, so that we serve in newness of the spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

riversident@Romans:7:8 @ Sin, taking occasion through the commandment, worked in me every lust. For apart from the Law sin is dead.

riversident@Romans:7:9 @ I was living once, apart from law. But when the commandment came, sin began to live and I died,

riversident@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me and by it killed me.

riversident@Romans:7:13 @ Did then what is good become death to me? Never. But sin, that it might appear sin, worked death in me through the good, in order that it might become beyond measure sinful.

riversident@Romans:7:17 @ And now it is no longer I that do it, but the Sin that dwells in me.

riversident@Romans:8:1 @ THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Romans:8:3 @ For, what was impossible for the Law, because it was weak through the flesh \'97 God, sending his own Son in the form of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned the sin that is in the flesh,

riversident@Romans:8:5 @ For those who are living according to the flesh have their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are living according to the spirit have their minds on the things of the spirit.

riversident@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. If any one has not the Spirit of Christ, that man is not his.

riversident@Romans:8:14 @ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

riversident@Romans:8:15 @ For you did not receive a spirit of bondage leading again to fear, but you received a spirit of sonship, in which we cry, Abba, Father.

riversident@Romans:8:18 @ For I estimate that the sufferings of this present time amount to nothing in comparison with the glory that is to be revealed for us.

riversident@Romans:8:19 @ For the earnest expectation of the creation is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.

riversident@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was made subject to folly not willingly, but for the sake of him who subjected it, in hope,

riversident@Romans:8:21 @ because the creation itself will be freed from the slavery of decay into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

riversident@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that all the creation groans in the pangs of childbirth until now.

riversident@Romans:8:23 @ And not the creation alone, but we ourselves also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, groan within ourselves in expectation of the sonship, the liberation of our bodies.

riversident@Romans:8:24 @ For we are saved by hope; but hope that is seen is not hope, for what any one sees, why does he hope for?

riversident@Romans:8:26 @ Thus also the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with sighs beyond words.

riversident@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom he foreknew he also predetermined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among many brethren.

riversident@Romans:8:30 @ And those whom he predetermined he also called, and those whom he called he also pronounced righteous, and those whom he pronounced righteous he also glorified.

riversident@Romans:8:32 @ He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not with him graciously give us all things?

riversident@Romans:8:33 @ Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? God pronounces them righteous.

riversident@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn? Christ Jesus died, or rather was raised, and he is on the right hand of God interceding for us.

riversident@Romans:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall trial or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

riversident@Romans:8:37 @ On the contrary, in all these we more than conquer through him who loved us.

riversident@Romans:9:1 @ I AM speaking the truth in Christ; I am saying nothing false; my conscience bears witness with me in the Holy Spirit

riversident@Romans:9:4 @ who are Israelites, whose is the sonship and the glory and the covenants and the reception of the law and the worship and the promises;

riversident@Romans:9:9 @ For the wording of the promise was, "At this time next year I will come and Sarah shall have a son."

riversident@Romans:9:10 @ And not only so, but when Rebecca was about to bear children to our father Isaac,

riversident@Romans:9:11 @ though the same man was father of both children and they were not yet born and had done nothing good or bad, in order that the purpose of God according to his choice might stand, not according to their works, but according to his call,

riversident@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness on God's part? Never.

riversident@Romans:9:15 @ For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

riversident@Romans:9:16 @ So then it is not a question of the man who wills or who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

riversident@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I raised you up in order to show my power upon you and to have my name proclaimed in all the earth."

riversident@Romans:9:18 @ So then he has mercy on whom he chooses and he hardens whom he chooses.

riversident@Romans:9:21 @ Has not the potter the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

riversident@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, choosing to exhibit his wrath and to make known what he can do, bore in long patience the vessels of wrath made for destruction,

riversident@Romans:9:23 @ and in order to make known the richness of his glory upon the vessels of mercy which he had prepared for glory

riversident@Romans:9:24 @ called us not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?

riversident@Romans:9:28 @ For the Lord will execute his sentence on the earth completely and speedily."

riversident@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they pursued it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over that stumbling stone,

riversident@Romans:9:33 @ as it is written, "See, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone, a rock to trip over, but he who has faith in him will never be put to shame."

riversident@Romans:10:1 @ BRETHREN, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.

riversident@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not an intelligent one.

riversident@Romans:10:9 @ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.

riversident@Romans:10:10 @ For with the heart a man believes and becomes righteous, and with the mouth he confesses and attains salvation.

riversident@Romans:10:11 @ For the Scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame."

riversident@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no difference between Jew and Greek. For there is the same Lord of all, rich toward all who call upon him.

riversident@Romans:10:13 @ For "Every one who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

riversident@Romans:10:14 @ How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? How shall they hear without some one to proclaim him?

riversident@Romans:10:18 @ But I say, it cannot be true that they have not heard, can it? On the contrary, "Their sound has gone out into all the earth and their words to the ends of the world."

riversident@Romans:10:19 @ I say, it cannot be that Israel did not know, can it? First Moses says, "I will excite you to jealousy by what is not a nation and by a foolish nation I will provoke you to anger."

riversident@Romans:10:21 @ But to Israel he says, "All day long I stretched forth my hands to a people who disobey and answer back."

riversident@Romans:11:3 @ "Lord, they have killed thy prophets: they have demolished thy altars, and I only am left and they are seeking my life."

riversident@Romans:11:4 @ But what was the divine response? "I have left to myself seven thousand men who have not knelt to Baal."

riversident@Romans:11:5 @ So at this present time there is a remnant according to a gracious selection.

riversident@Romans:11:6 @ But if it is by grace it is no longer because of works, for then grace would be no longer grace.

riversident@Romans:11:9 @ And David says, "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution.

riversident@Romans:11:11 @ I say, then, have they stumbled just in order that they may fall? Never. But by their fall salvation comes to the Gentiles so as to arouse the emulation of the Jews.

riversident@Romans:11:12 @ If their fall is the riches of the world and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more will their full restoration be!

riversident@Romans:11:14 @ if in any way I may arouse to emulation my own kindred and save some of them \'97

riversident@Romans:11:15 @ if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their welcome back be but life from the dead?

riversident@Romans:11:17 @ If some of the branches were broken off and you, who are a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a sharer in the root and rich sap of the olive,

riversident@Romans:11:22 @ See the kindness and the rigor of God, toward those who fell rigor, but toward you God's kindness, if you continue in his kindness, else you too will be cut off.

riversident@Romans:11:23 @ And they if they do not continue in their unbelief will be grafted in.

riversident@Romans:11:24 @ For God is able to graft them back. For if you were cut from your natural stock, a wild olive tree, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a good olive tree, how much more will the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree!

riversident@Romans:11:25 @ I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that you may not be self-conceited, because stupidity in a measure has come upon Israel until the full number of Gentiles comes in,

riversident@Romans:11:26 @ and thus all Israel will be saved, as it is written, "From Zion will come the deliverer. He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.

riversident@Romans:11:30 @ For as you were once disobedient to God, but now have found mercy through their disobedience,

riversident@Romans:11:32 @ For God has shut up all in unbelief in order that he may have mercy on all.

riversident@Romans:12:1 @ I BEG you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, pleasing to God \'97 your rational worship.

riversident@Romans:12:2 @ Do not follow the fashions of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your minds so as to recognize what is the good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

riversident@Romans:12:3 @ Through the grace given to me I say to every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought, but to think so as to become wise, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.

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

riversident@Romans:12:5 @ so we who are many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.

riversident@Romans:12:6 @ Having gifts differing according to the grace given to us, if it is prophecy, let us use it according to the proportion of our faith;

riversident@Romans:12:10 @ Have brotherly love toward one another like family affection, in honor preferring one another,

riversident@Romans:12:12 @ rejoicing in hope, patient in trial, constant in prayer,

riversident@Romans:12:13 @ contributing to the needs of the holy, devoted to hospitality.

riversident@Romans:12:14 @ Pray for blessings on your persecutors, blessings, not curses.

riversident@Romans:12:16 @ Be in harmony with one another. Do not be thinking of high things, but be content with humble things. Do not become conceited.

riversident@Romans:12:17 @ Repay to no one evil for evil. Aim at what is honorable in the sight of all men.

riversident@Romans:12:18 @ If possible, so far as depends on you, live at peace with all men.

riversident@Romans:12:20 @ But, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."

riversident@Romans:13:1 @ LET every person be obedient to the superior authorities. For there is no authority except from God and the actual authorities have been appointed by God.

riversident@Romans:13:2 @ So he who resists the authority opposes the arrangement of God. Those who resist will bring on themselves condemnation.

riversident@Romans:13:4 @ For he is a servant of God to promote your good. But if you are doing evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword to no purpose. For he is God's servant to inflict his wrath on him who practices evil.

riversident@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore we must be obedient, not only because of the punishment but as a matter of conscience.

riversident@Romans:13:6 @ For this reason also you pay tribute. For they are God's officers attending to this very thing.

riversident@Romans:13:7 @ Pay to all their dues, tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.

riversident@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything, except to love one another. He who loves the other has fulfilled the Law.

riversident@Romans:13:11 @ Live thus because you know this crisis, for it is already time for you to awake from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we became believers.

riversident@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far spent, the day draws near. Let us put away the deeds of darkness, let us put on the weapons of light.

riversident@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for gratifying physical passions.

riversident@Romans:14:1 @ WELCOME him who is weak in the faith, but not in order to decide disputed questions.

riversident@Romans:14:2 @ One man believes in eating all things. The weak man eats vegetables.

riversident@Romans:14:3 @ The man who eats is not to despise the one who does not eat, and he who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats. For God has accepted him.

riversident@Romans:14:5 @ One man esteems one day above another, another man esteems every day. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.

riversident@Romans:14:7 @ For no one of us is living for himself and no one dies for himself.

riversident@Romans:14:10 @ But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you, why do you treat your brother with contempt? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.

riversident@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me and every tongue shall confess to God."

riversident@Romans:14:12 @ So then each one of us shall give account for himself to God.

riversident@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us no longer judge one another, but let us rather decide not to put a stumbling block in a brother's way, or anything to trip him up.

riversident@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is defiling in itself. But to one who thinks anything to be defiling it is defiling.

riversident@Romans:14:15 @ If because of your food your brother is grieved, you are no longer walking in love. Do not with your food destroy him for whom Christ died.

riversident@Romans:14:20 @ Do not for the sake of food break down the work of God. All things are pure, but anything is evil to the man who eats it with a feeling of doing wrong.

riversident@Romans:14:22 @ The faith that you have, have to yourself before God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself for what he allows himself.

riversident@Romans:14:23 @ He who has doubts and still eats stands condemned, because he is not acting from faith. But whatever does not spring from faith is sin.

riversident@Romans:15:1 @ WE who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

riversident@Romans:15:3 @ For Christ did not please himself, but, as it is written, "The reproaches of those who were reproaching thee fell on me."

riversident@Romans:15:4 @ All that was written of old was written for our instruction, in order that by patience and by the encouragement of the Scriptures we may have hope.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Some persons have become puffed up, thinking that I am not coming to you.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I shall come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will find out, not the talk of these puffed-up ones, but their power.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:1 @ IT is generally reported that there is unchastity among you, and such unchastity as is not even among the Gentiles, so that a man has his father's wife!

riversident@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are puffed up with pride and have not rather grieved and taken steps to expel from among you the doer of this deed!

riversident@1Corinthians:5:5 @ I decided to deliver over such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:10 @ certainly not meaning the unchaste of this world, or the covetous or extortionate or idolaters, since in that case you would have to leave the world.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But now I write to you not to associate with any one who is called a brother, if he is unchaste or covetous or idolatrous or abusive or drunken or extortionate \'97 not even to eat with such a one.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:13 @ But outsiders God will judge. Expel the wicked man from among yourselves.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:1 @ DOES any one of you, if he has a grievance against another, dare to bring the case before the unrighteous and not before the holy?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Is it true that there is among you no one wise enough to judge between a man and his brother,

riversident@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Now this is an utter failure on your part that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather let yourselves be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:8 @ But you yourselves practice wrongs and frauds \'97 and that upon your brethren.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:10 @ nor thieves, nor the avaricious, nor drunkards, nor the abusive, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such some of you were. But you have washed yourselves; but you have been made holy; but you have been pronounced righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:13 @ Food of all kinds is for the stomach and the stomach for foods. But God will end the function of one and the other. The body is not for unchastity, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that he who unites himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For God says, "The two shall become one flesh."

riversident@1Corinthians:6:17 @ He who is united to the Lord is one spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let the husband pay his wife conjugal dues and the wife her husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another, unless by agreement for a time, that you may have freedom for prayer, and again come together. You must not let Satan tempt you through your lack of self-control.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that every one were just as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one in one way and one in another.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they lack self-control, let them marry. It is better to marry than to burn.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving one actually leaves, let him leave. The brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases; but God has called you to peace.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:17 @ But, as the Lord has allotted to each, let each go on living as when God called him. So I prescribe in all the churches.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:18 @ Was any one already circumcised when called? Let him not efface it. Was any one called when uncircumcised? Let him not become circumcised.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:19 @ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God is all.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Let each stay in that condition in which he was called.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Were you called when a slave? Let it not trouble you. On the contrary, even if you can become free, take it in preference.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:24 @ Let each one, brethren, stay in that condition in which he was called, close to God.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:25 @ In regard to unmarried women I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who through the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think then that this is an excellent thing on account of the present distress \'97 that it is an excellent thing for a person to be unmarried.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:29 @ But this I say, brethren: The time is shortened. For what remains let those who have wives be as if they had none,

riversident@1Corinthians:7:35 @ This I say for your benefit, not to throw a noose over you, but to promote decorum and constant devotion to the Lord without distraction.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If any one thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin, if she is ripe for marriage and there is need, let him do what he will. He does not sin. Let them marry.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A woman is bound as long as her husband is living. But if her husband falls asleep, she is free to marry whom she will, though only in the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But in my opinion she is happier if she stays as she is. And I think that I have the Spirit of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If any one think; that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:3 @ If any one loves God, he is known by him.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Regarding the eating of things that have been sacrificed to idols, then, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:5 @ And though there are so-called gods in heaven and on earth, for there are gods many and lords many,

riversident@1Corinthians:8:6 @ still to us there is one God the Father, of whom are all things and we for him, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and we through him.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But all have not this knowledge. Some, having been accustomed to idols up to the present time, eat the food as a sacrifice to an idol, and their conscience being weak is stained.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one sees you who have knowledge reclining at table in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of that weak one be emboldened to eat things that have been sacrificed to idols?

riversident@1Corinthians:8:12 @ So sinning against the brethren and wounding their weak consciences you sin against Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or am I only, and Barnabas, without the right not to do manual labor?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who ever serves as a soldier and supplies his own pay and rations? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Who keeps a flock and does not drink any of the milk of the flock?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these rights and I am not writing this in order that it may be done in my case. For it would be better for me to die \'97 No one shall make my boast an empty one!

riversident@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For although I tell the good news I have nothing to boast of. For a necessity is laid upon me. Alas for me if I do not tell the good news!

riversident@1Corinthians:9:17 @ If I do it voluntarily I have a reward, but if reluctantly, I have been charged with a responsibility.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Do you not know that those who run in a stadium all run, yet one gets the prize? Run so as to win.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Every one who contends in the games practices self-restraint in all things. They do it to win a fading crown, but we for an unfading one.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:27 @ On the contrary, I maul and master my body so that I may not, after preaching to others, become myself unable to stand the test.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Nor let us be unchaste, as some of them were and twenty-three thousand fell dead in one day.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:11 @ These things happened to those people as warnings and they were written for the instruction of us to whom the closing events of the ages have come.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No trial has taken you but what belongs to human nature. God is faithful and he will not let you be tried beyond your power, but will make, with the trial, a way of escape so that you can endure it.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Because there is one bread we though many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:20 @ But I say that what they sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God. And I would not have you become partakers with demons.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:21 @ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:22 @ Or are we arousing the jealousy of the Lord? Are we stronger than he?

riversident@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let no one seek his own interest, but the interest of others.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Everything that is sold in market eat, raising no questions of conscience.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If any one of the unbelievers invites you and you wish to go, eat whatever is set before you, raising no questions of conscience.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one says to you, "This is meat that has been sacrificed," do not eat, for the sake of him who mentioned it and for conscience' sake \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:10:29 @ conscience, I say, not yours, but the other man's. For why is my liberty judged by the conscience of another?

riversident@1Corinthians:11:2 @ I praise you because you remember me in all things and hold firmly the traditions as I passed them on to you.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:4 @ Every man praying or prophesying with his head draped dishonors his head.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But every woman praying or prophesying bareheaded dishonors her head. For it is one and the same as if she had her head shaved.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:10 @ Therefore, the woman ought to have a badge of authority on her head because of the angels.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not Nature herself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

riversident@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but that if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? Because the hair is given to her for a covering.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:16 @ But if any one cares to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor have the churches of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:17 @ In giving the following directions I do not praise you, because you do not assemble for the better, but for the worse.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, I hear that when you assemble as a church there are parties among you, and to some extent I believe it.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must be parties among you in order that it may become plain who are worthy of approval.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:21 @ For in eating each one tries to get his own supper first and one is hungry and another is drunken.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:22 @ Have you not homes to eat and drink in? Or do you mean to show contempt for the church of God and put to shame those who have no homes? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? For this I do not praise you.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord that which I passed on to you that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

riversident@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For he who eats and drinks eats and drinks condemnation to himself, if he does not honor the Lord's body.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:30 @ For this reason many are weak and sickly among you and a number are asleep.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined in order that we may not be condemned along with the world.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:33 @ So then, my brethren, when you assemble to eat, wait for one another.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that your assembling may not bring condemnation on you. The other matters I will arrange when I come.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:1 @ CONCERNING spiritual things, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I inform you that no one speaking in the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except in the Holy Spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:7 @ To each one is given some manifestation of the Spirit for what is profitable.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:8 @ To one are given, through the Spirit, words of wisdom, to another words of knowledge by the same Spirit,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another works of power, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another varieties of tongues, to another interpretation of tongues.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:11 @ One and the same Spirit produces all of these gifts, distributing to each one individually as he will.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so also is Christ.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body is not one member, but many.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand I am not of the body," it is not for that reason not of the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye I am not of the body," it is not for that reason not of the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But now God has placed the members each one of them in the body as he pleased.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:19 @ If all were one member, where would be the body?

riversident@1Corinthians:12:20 @ But now the members are many, but the body is one.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:23 @ and those that we deem the less honorable parts of the body we surround with greater honor and our uncomely parts have additional dignity,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:24 @ while our comely parts have no need. But God has organized the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacks,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there may be no discord in the body, but that the members may have a common concern for one another.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:26 @ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if a member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:28 @ God placed some in the church first as apostles, secondly as prophets, thirdly as teachers, then miracle-workers, then those with gifts of healing, helpers, administrators, speakers of different kinds of tongues.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:30 @ Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

riversident@1Corinthians:13:1 @ IF I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love is longsuffering, love is kind, is not jealous, love does not boast, is not conceited,

riversident@1Corinthians:13:5 @ does not behave unbecomingly, does not seek her own interest, is not irritable, does not count up her wrongs,

riversident@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never fails; but if there are prophetic powers, they will become useless; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will become useless.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. Since I have become a man, I have no use for childish things.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For as yet we are looking at puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then face to face. As yet I know in part, but then I shall know fully, as I have been fully known.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For he who speaks with a tongue speaks not to men, but to God. For no one understands, and he speaks mysteries in the Spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:4 @ He who speaks in a tongue builds himself up, but he who prophesies builds up the church.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish you all to speak with tongues, but I wish more to have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may receive upbuilding.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:6 @ Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what benefit will I be to you unless I speak to you in a revelation or in knowledge or in prophecy or in teaching.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:7 @ Inanimate things that give a sound, such as the flute or harp, \'97 unless they give a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is being played on flute or harp?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:9 @ And so you, if you do not give by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is said? For you will be talking into the air.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:10 @ There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none without meaning.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:13 @ Therefore let him who speaks with a tongue pray to interpret.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:14:18 @ I thank God that I speak with tongues more than any of you.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:19 @ But in church I would rather speak five words with my understanding so as to instruct others, than to speak ten thousand words in a tongue.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:22 @ So then tongues are for a sign not to believers, but to unbelievers, and prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for believers.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:23 @ If therefore the whole church assembles and all speak with tongues and ordinary men or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are insane?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But if all prophesy and any unbeliever or ordinary man comes in, he is convinced by all, he is judged by all,

riversident@1Corinthians:14:25 @ the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so falling on his face he worships God, declaring that God is really among you.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What then, brethren? When you assemble each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for the upbuilding of character.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If any one speaks with a tongue, let it be two, or at the most three, at a time and in turn and let one interpret.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:30 @ If a revelation comes to another who is sitting by, let the first become silent.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:14:32 @ The spirits of the prophets are under the control of the prophets.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:14:34 @ let the women be silent in your assemblies. For it is not allowed to them to speak; but let them be in subjection as also the Law says.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Did the message of God come out from you or did it come to you alone?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If any one thinks himself a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that what I am writing to you is the command of the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:38 @ But if any one does not know, he is himself unknown.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:39 @ So then, my brethren, seek earnestly to prophesy and do not hinder speaking with tongues.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:40 @ Let all things be done becomingly and in order.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For among the first things I passed on to you what I had received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:4 @ and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:6 @ then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most are still living, but some have fallen asleep,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:8 @ Last of all, as if to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:12 @ But if Christ is proclaimed \'97 that he has been raised from the dead \'97 how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:13 @ If there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ been raised.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:14 @ If Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is an empty thing and your faith is an empty thing.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For since by a man came death, by a man also came resurrection of the dead.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:28 @ But when all things have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:33 @ Do not be led astray; "bad associations corrupt good morals."

riversident@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will say, How are the dead raised, and with what sort of bodies do they come?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:39 @ All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another flesh of birds, and another flesh of fishes.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are bodies celestial and bodies terrestrial. But the glory of the celestial is of one kind and the glory of the terrestrial is of another.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:41 @ There is one glory of the sun and another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars. For star differs from star in glory.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So also will be the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in decay; it is raised imperishable.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:43 @ It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man was from the earth, earthly; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:1 @ REGARDING the collection for the holy, as I arranged for the churches of Galatia, you must do the same.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of the week let each of you lay up at home something according as he may be prospering, in order that no collections may be going on when I come.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:3 @ When I come, whatever persons you may approve, I will send with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:5 @ I shall come to you alter I pass through Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia

riversident@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a great and effective door has been opened to me, and there are many opponents.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy comes, see to it that he becomes free from fear in his relations to you. For he is doing the Lord's work, just as I am.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:11 @ So let no one think him of no account. Send him forward in peace on his journey to me, for I am expecting him with the brethren.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As to Apollos our brother, I urged him strongly to go to you with the brethren. But it was not at all his will to go now, but he will come when it is convenient.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Watch, stand firmly in the faith, be manly, be strong,

riversident@1Corinthians:16:14 @ let all that you do be done in love.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the brethren send greetings to you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If any one does not love the Lord, let him be accursed! Maran atha!

riversident@2Corinthians:1:6 @ But if we are in distress, it is for your encouragement and salvation. If we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement which is effective in the endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:7 @ Our hope is strong regarding you, since we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings so you are of the encouragement.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding the distress that came on us in Asia \'97 that we were exceedingly weighed down, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Indeed we have the sentence of death within ourselves, that our trust may not rest on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:10 @ He delivered us from such a death and will deliver, and we have hope in him that he will go on delivering,

riversident@2Corinthians:1:11 @ while you help by your prayers for us, so that from many persons thanksgiving may arise for the gift granted to us through the prayers of many for us.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For this is what we boast of, the witness of our conscience that in holiness, and sincerity before God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have lived in the world and especially toward you.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:14 @ as you have partly acknowledged it about us, that we are your ground of boasting and you are ours on the day of our Lord Jesus.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:16 @ by my visiting you on the way to Macedonia and again coming back from Macedonia to you and being sped by you on my way toward Juda.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was proclaimed among you by us \'97 myself and Silvanus and Timothy \'97 was not yes and no, but in him was yes.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:3 @ I am writing this very thing so that I may not come and have grief from those who ought to make me glad, for I am confident in regard to all of you that my joy is yours.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For out of great distress and pain of heart I am writing with many tears, not that you may be grieved, but that you may know the love that I have beyond measure for you.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if any one has caused grief, he has grieved not me, but to some extent \'97 not to be too severe \'97 all of you.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:6 @ Sufficient for such a one is this punishment by the majority,

riversident@2Corinthians:2:13 @ I had no rest in my spirit because I did not find Titus my brother, but bidding them farewell I came away to Macedonia.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:1 @ ARE we beginning again to recommend ourselves? Do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you?

riversident@2Corinthians:3:3 @ evidently a letter of Christ delivered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets, but on tablets that are hearts of flesh.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:4 @ We have such confidence through Christ toward God.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that of ourselves we are fit to reason out anything as from ourselves, but our fitness is from God,

riversident@2Corinthians:3:7 @ If the service that brought death, engraved in letters on stones, came in glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face \'97 that fading glory \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the service that brought condemnation was glory, much more will the service that brings righteousness surpass in glory.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For what was made so glorious is in a way no longer glorious compared with the glory that surpasses it.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:14 @ but their thinking was dulled. For to this day the same veil remains unlifted when the old covenant is read; because it is done away only in Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:15 @ To this day when Moses is read the veil lies on their hearts;

riversident@2Corinthians:4:2 @ but we have renounced shameful secret things, not living in craftiness nor adulterating God's message, but by the openness of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For while we are in this tent we sigh being burdened, not that we wish to be unclothed, but to put on the other, that what is mortal may be swallowed up in life.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear as we truly are before the judgment seat of Christ, that each may receive the award for what he has done with his body, according to his actions, whether good or bad.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Knowing, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we are persuading men. What we are is plain to God, and I hope that it is also plain to your consciences.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not recommending ourselves again to you, but giving occasion to you for boasting on our behalf, that you may have it to use against those who boast of appearances and not of heart.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ impels us, convinced of this, that if one died for all, then all died,

riversident@2Corinthians:5:15 @ and he died for all that the living may no longer live for themselves, but for him who died for them and was raised again.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:16 @ So we, from now on, know no man according to the flesh. Even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:17 @ So if any one is in Christ he is a new creature. The old things have passed away, they have become new.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:18 @ And all things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given to us the service of reconciliation \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:5:19 @ to proclaim that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting against men their sins, and that he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:20 @ So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing to you through us. We pray you on Christ's behalf to be reconciled to God.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he says, "At a favorable time I heard you and on a day of salvation I helped you." Now is a particularly favorable time, now is a day of salvation.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We give no occasion for stumbling to any one that our service may not be blamed,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:5 @ in floggings, in prisons, in riots, in toils, in sleepless nights, in fastings,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:6 @ with purity, with knowledge, with long-suffering, with kindness, with the Holy Spirit, with sincere love,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:7 @ with the message of truth, with the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and the left,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:8 @ by honor and shame, by slander and praise; as deceivers yet true,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:15 @ or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what share has a believer with an unbeliever?

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

riversident@2Corinthians:6:18 @ and will be a Father to you and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord, the Ruler of all."

riversident@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one; we have injured no one; we have taken advantage of no one.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I am not saying this to condemn you, for I have already said that you have such a place in our hearts that we are ready to die with you or to live with you.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For since we came to Macedonia our flesh has had no rest, but we have been distressed in every way, conflicts without, fears within.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not by his coming only, but also by the encouragement by which he was encouraged about you. He told us of your longing for me, your lamentation, your zeal in my behalf, so that I rejoice the more.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For such grief as God approves works a change of heart leading to salvation and is never to be regretted. But the grief of the world results in death.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:11 @ Notice this very grieving as God approves, how great earnestness resulted from it in your case, what effort to defend yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what just punishment! In everything you showed yourselves blameless in the matter.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So although I wrote to you, I did it not for the sake of him who did the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that your earnestness for us might be made plain to you before God.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:13 @ On this account we have been encouraged. In addition to this encouragement of ours, we rejoiced very much more over the joy of Titus because his spirit has been refreshed by you all,

riversident@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his affections go out more strongly to you when he remembers the obedience of you all, how with reverence and trembling you received him.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:1 @ I MUST tell you, brethren, of the grace of God that has been given to the churches of Macedonia,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For according to their ability, I bear witness, and beyond their ability, of their own accord,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:6 @ Therefore we encouraged Titus that as he had begun so he should complete this grace among you.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:10 @ In this I give my opinion, for this is advantageous for you, since a year ago you were first to begin not only the doing but the wanting to do anything.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:11 @ But now complete the doing, that as there was a readiness in willing so there may be a completion according to your means.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he was appointed by the churches as our fellow traveler in this gracious errand carried out by us to the glory of the Lord himself and by our own eager desire.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:20 @ We are taking care that no one shall blame us for our administration of this bountiful fund,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:21 @ for we are providing arrangements honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:22 @ We are sending along with them also our brother whose earnestness we have tested many times in many ways, and who is now especially earnest because of his great confidence in you.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:23 @ If any one asks about Titus, he is my intimate friend and fellow worker for you. If it is our brethren, they are the messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your readiness and I am boasting about you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago, and your zeal has stimulated the most of them.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:4 @ and if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we, not to say you, may not be made ashamed of this confidence.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I think it necessary to urge the brethren to go on in advance to you and prepare before-hand your promised gift, that it may be ready as a gift and not as if extorted.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For the performance of this sacred service not only supplies the needs of the holy, but also overflows to God in many thanksgivings.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:13 @ By the proof afforded by this service men are led to glorify God for your fidelity to your profession of faith in the good news of Christ, and for the liberality of your contributions toward them and toward all.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:14 @ In their prayers in your behalf they pour out their longing love for you because of the surpassing grace of God that is upon you.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:1 @ I MYSELF, Paul, beg you by the gentleness and sweet reasonableness of Christ \'97 I who "to your face am humble when among you, but when absent am bold toward you" \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I pray that I may not when present have to be bold with the confidence with which I expect to show my courage against some who think of us as living according to the flesh.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:3 @ For although living in the flesh we do not carry on our warfare according to the flesh,

riversident@2Corinthians:10:4 @ for the weapons of our warfare are not weapons of the flesh, but powerful under God for the destruction of fortresses.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:5 @ We overthrow reasonings and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and take captive every thought into obedience to Christ

riversident@2Corinthians:10:6 @ and are ready to take vengeance upon every disobedience when your obedience is complete.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Look at what is right before your eyes. If any one is confident that he belongs to Christ, let him again consider this regarding himself, that just as he belongs to Christ so also do we.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:10 @ Because, "His letters," they say, "are mighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak and his speaking amounts to nothing."

riversident@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such a person consider this, that what we are in words by letters when absent such we will be in deeds when present.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:12 @ We do not venture to class ourselves or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves. But they, measuring themselves among themselves and comparing themselves with themselves, do not understand.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We will not boast beyond measure, but according to the measure of the measuring rod which God assigned to us, and that reaches as far as you.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We are not boasting beyond measure in the labors of others, but we have hope that as your faith grows we may have larger influence among you according to our measure and beyond,

riversident@2Corinthians:10:16 @ so that we may tell the good news to the regions lying beyond you and not boast of things already done in some other man's territory.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:2 @ For I am jealous over you with the jealousy of God, for I betrothed you to one husband to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:5 @ I consider that I am in nothing inferior to the most eminent apostles.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:9 @ and when I was with you and in need I was not a burden to any one, for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied my need. In every way I kept myself from being a burden to you, and shall keep myself so.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boast of mine shall not be stopped in the region of Achaia.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder, for Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I say again, let no one think me foolish. But, even if so, receive me as foolish, that I too may boast a little.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I am saying I am not saying by the Lord's command, but as it were in foolishness, in this confident boasting.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:20 @ You bear it if any one enslaves you, if any one devours you, if any one takes possession of you, if any one exalts himself, if any one strikes you in the face.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:21 @ I say it with shame as if we had been weak. But in whatever any one is bold (note:)I say it foolishly(:note) I too am bold.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they servants of Christ? (note:)I speak as if I were out of my mind(:note) I superlatively \'97 in labors beyond measure, in prisons beyond measure, in floggings excessively, in deaths often.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:24 @ From Jews five times I received forty stripes less one,

riversident@2Corinthians:11:25 @ three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was ship-wrecked, a night and day I have been in the deep;

riversident@2Corinthians:11:26 @ in journeys often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the open country, in perils on the sea, in perils among false brethren;

riversident@2Corinthians:11:28 @ Aside, from other things there is that which weighs on me daily, anxiety for all the churches.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I MUST boast, though it is unprofitable. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:5 @ Of such a one I will boast, but of myself I will not boast except of my weaknesses.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Even if I choose to boast I shall not be foolish, for I shall speak the truth. But I guard myself that no one may think of me beyond what he sees me to be, or hears from me,

riversident@2Corinthians:12:7 @ and because of the surpassing nature of the revelations. For this reason, that I should not be puffed up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan, to torment me, so that I should not be puffed up.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he has said to me, Most gladly then will I boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may abide upon me.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:10 @ Therefore I rejoice in weaknesses, in rough treatment, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs of an apostle were performed among you in all patience by miracles and wonders and deeds of power.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:13 @ What is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the churches except that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Now this third time I am ready to come to you, and I shall not be a burden to you. For I am not seeking yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up money for the parents, but the parents for the children.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:17 @ Did I take advantage of you through any one of those I sent to you?

riversident@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I begged Titus to go, and I sent along with him the brother. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?

riversident@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I am afraid that when I come I shall not find you such as I wish, and I myself may not be found by you such as you wish. I am afraid that there may be strife, jealousy, anger, rivalry, slanders, whisperings, conceit, disorders.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:21 @ I am afraid that when I come again my God may humble me in your presence, and that I shall grieve over many of those who have been long sinning and have not repented of the impurity and unchastity and sensuality which they have practiced.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:2 @ Those who have been long sinning and all the rest I have forewarned and now forewarn, when I was present with you the second time and now when absent, that if I come again I shall not spare;

riversident@2Corinthians:13:3 @ since you are eager to have a test of Christ speaking in me. He is not weak toward you, but powerful among you.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Test yourselves whether you are in the faith, put yourselves to the proof. Are you not conscious that Jesus Christ is in you? He is, unless you cannot stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:9 @ We rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. This we are praying for, your all-round character.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:10 @ For this reason I am writing this while absent, so that when present I may not act with severity in the use of the authority which the Lord gave me for building you up, not for pulling you down.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Now, brethren, farewell. Be fully equipped; take courage; be of one mind; live in peace; then the God of love and peace will be with you.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:12 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss.

riversident@Galatians:1:6 @ I am astonished that you are so quickly changing over from him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different kind of good news,

riversident@Galatians:1:9 @ As I said before, I say now again, if any one brings you good news different from what you have received, let him be accursed!

riversident@Galatians:1:12 @ For neither did I receive it from man nor was I taught it through man, but through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

riversident@Galatians:1:14 @ and I went further in Judaism than many of my own age and race, being intensely zealous for the traditions of my forefathers.

riversident@Galatians:1:16 @ was pleased to reveal his Son in me that I might tell the good news of him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not consult with flesh and blood,

riversident@Galatians:1:19 @ But I saw no other one of the apostles, though I did see James the Lord's brother.

riversident@Galatians:1:21 @ Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

riversident@Galatians:1:23 @ Only they had heard that "he who used to persecute us is now telling the good news of the faith of which he once made havoc,"

riversident@Galatians:1:24 @ and they glorified God on my account.

riversident@Galatians:2:1 @ THEN after fourteen years I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking along Titus.

riversident@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up by revelation, and I stated to them the good news which I proclaim among the Gentiles. But I did this privately before those who were most esteemed, that I might not be running, or have run, to no Purpose.

riversident@Galatians:2:4 @ though it was suggested on account of false brethren who had been brought in, who had crept in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.

riversident@Galatians:2:5 @ But we did not yield in subjection to them even for an hour, that the truth of the good news might continue with you.

riversident@Galatians:2:6 @ But from those who were esteemed to be something \'97 whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God does not regard the social standing of a man \'97 those who were most esteemed did not impart to me anything additional.

riversident@Galatians:2:7 @ But, on the contrary, seeing that I was entrusted with the good news for the uncircumcision as Peter was for the circumcision,

riversident@Galatians:2:8 @ for he who had worked in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcision had worked in me for the Gentiles,

riversident@Galatians:2:9 @ recognizing the grace given to me, James, Cephas, and John, who were regarded as pillars, gave the right hand of fellowship to me and Barnabas, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcision.

riversident@Galatians:2:10 @ Only they wished us to remember the poor. This very thing I also was earnest in doing.

riversident@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain persons came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

riversident@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ. I am living, yet no longer I, but Christ is living in me. The life that I am now living in flesh I am living by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

riversident@Galatians:3:2 @ Only this I wish to learn from you: Was it because of works of law that you received the Spirit, or because of hearing with faith?

riversident@Galatians:3:5 @ He who supplies to you the Spirit and works miracles among you, is he doing it because of works of law or because of hearing with faith,

riversident@Galatians:3:10 @ For all who are of the works of law are under a curse, for it is written, "Cursed is every one who does not abide by all the precepts of the book of the Law and do them."

riversident@Galatians:3:11 @ But that by law no one is declared righteous before God is plain, because, "He who is righteous by faith shall live."

riversident@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for our sake, for it is written, "Cursed is every one who hangs on a tree,"

riversident@Galatians:3:14 @ in order that the blessing of Abraham might in Jesus Christ come on the Gentiles, that they might receive through faith the promise of the Spirit.

riversident@Galatians:3:15 @ Brethren, I am speaking humanly, a ratified covenant, although but a man's, no one can set aside or add to.

riversident@Galatians:3:16 @ But the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "and to offsprings," as meaning many, but as if meaning one, "and to your offspring," who is Christ.

riversident@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance is by law, it is no longer by promise. But God granted it to Abraham by promise.

riversident@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then was the Law? It was added later to make transgressions, until the Offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was arranged through angels by the hand of a mediator.

riversident@Galatians:3:20 @ A mediator does not belong to one person, but God is one.

riversident@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scripture has shut up all under sin that the promise based on faith in Jesus Christ may be given to those who have faith.

riversident@Galatians:3:25 @ Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

riversident@Galatians:3:26 @ You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Galatians:3:27 @ All who have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

riversident@Galatians:3:28 @ There cannot be Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female: for you all are one in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Galatians:4:1 @ I SAY that as long as the heir is under age he differs in nothing from a slave, though he be owner of all.

riversident@Galatians:4:3 @ So we, when we were under age, were enslaved under the elementary lessons of the world;

riversident@Galatians:4:4 @ but, when the fullness of time came, God sent forth his Son born of a woman, born under the Law,

riversident@Galatians:4:5 @ that he might redeem those who were under Law, that we might receive the recognition as sons.

riversident@Galatians:4:6 @ Because you are sons, God has sent into our hearts the Spirit of his Son crying Abba, Father.

riversident@Galatians:4:7 @ So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then also an heir, through God's act.

riversident@Galatians:4:9 @ But now that you know God, or rather have been known by God, how are you turning back to the weak and beggarly elementary lessons to which you wish to be slaves again?

riversident@Galatians:4:10 @ You observe days and months and seasons and years.

riversident@Galatians:4:12 @ Become like me, brethren, I beg of you, for I became like you. You have not wronged me in anything.

riversident@Galatians:4:14 @ And you did not despise or spurn what was a trial to you in my bodily condition, but welcomed me as you would an angel of God, as you would Christ Jesus.

riversident@Galatians:4:15 @ Where now is the blessing you pronounced on me? For I bear you witness that if it had been possible you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

riversident@Galatians:4:17 @ They are paying court to you, but not honorably. No, they wish to shut you out, so that you may pay court to them.

riversident@Galatians:4:18 @ It is honorable to be courted in an honorable matter always, and not only when I am with you,

riversident@Galatians:4:20 @ Would that I could be present with you now and could change my tone, for I am at a loss about you.

riversident@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one born of the slave girl and one born of the free wife.

riversident@Galatians:4:24 @ This is an allegory. For these women are the two covenants, one from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery. This is Hagar.

riversident@Galatians:4:25 @ Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia. She represents the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery along with her children.

riversident@Galatians:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem on high is free and she is our mother.

riversident@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren one, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who feel no birth pangs! For many are the children of the desolate \'97 more than those of her who has a husband."

riversident@Galatians:4:30 @ But what says the Scripture? "Cast out the slave girl and her son. For the son of the slave girl shall not inherit along with the son of the free wife."

riversident@Galatians:5:2 @ See, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

riversident@Galatians:5:3 @ I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is under obligation to carry out the whole Law.

riversident@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither has circumcision any value nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

riversident@Galatians:5:8 @ The persuasion was not from him who called you.

riversident@Galatians:5:10 @ I am persuaded in regard to you in the Lord that you will have no other mind. He who is troubling you must bear his condemnation, whoever he may be.

riversident@Galatians:5:11 @ But I, brethren, if I am still proclaiming circumcision, why am I persecuted? Then the offensiveness of the cross has been done away.

riversident@Galatians:5:13 @ For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not let your freedom be an opportunity for the flesh, but in love be servants to one another.

riversident@Galatians:5:14 @ For the whole Law is summed up in one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

riversident@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not destroyed by one another.

riversident@Galatians:5:16 @ I say, walk in the Spirit and you will not carry out the passions of the flesh.

riversident@Galatians:5:17 @ For the flesh has passions contrary to the Spirit and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do whatever you wish.

riversident@Galatians:5:20 @ idolatry, magic, hatred, strife, jealousy, anger, rivalries, dissensions, factions,

riversident@Galatians:5:23 @ gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.

riversident@Galatians:5:24 @ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its emotions and passions.

riversident@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us not be vainglorious, irritating one another, envying one another.

riversident@Galatians:6:1 @ BRETHREN, if a man is surprised in some sin, you who are spiritual are to restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, each looking out for himself to avoid being tempted.

riversident@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.

riversident@Galatians:6:3 @ If any one thinks that he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

riversident@Galatians:6:4 @ Let each one test his own work and then he will have his reason for boasting in himself alone and not in another.

riversident@Galatians:6:10 @ So then as we have opportunity let us work for the good of all men, and especially of those who belong to the household of the faith.

riversident@Galatians:6:12 @ All who wish to make a fair show in the flesh are trying to compel you to receive circumcision, but only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

riversident@Galatians:6:15 @ For neither is circumcision anything nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

riversident@Galatians:6:16 @ All who walk by this rule \'97 may peace and mercy be on them, and on the Israel of God!

riversident@Galatians:6:17 @ For the future let no one trouble me; for I bear on my body the brands of Jesus.

riversident@Ephesians:1:4 @ even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and spotless before him in love.

riversident@Ephesians:1:5 @ He predestined us to recognition as sons to himself through Jesus Christ according to the kindness of his will,

riversident@Ephesians:1:6 @ to the praise of his glorious grace which he bestowed on us in the Beloved,

riversident@Ephesians:1:7 @ in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, according to the wealth of his loving kindness

riversident@Ephesians:1:10 @ for the government of the fullness of the ages, to bring to unity all things in Christ, both things in the heavens and things on the earth.

riversident@Ephesians:1:12 @ and we were made God's heritage in order that we might bring praise to his glory \'97 we who first have fixed our hope on Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:1:14 @ which is the pledge of our inheritance in anticipation of the full redemption of God's own people to the praise of his glory.

riversident@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason I also, since hearing of your faith in Jesus and your love to all the saints,

riversident@Ephesians:1:16 @ never cease giving thanks for you when I mention you in my prayers,

riversident@Ephesians:1:17 @ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father most glorious, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of himself,

riversident@Ephesians:2:5 @ even when we were dead in misdeeds, made us alive along with Christ \'97 by grace we have been saved \'97

riversident@Ephesians:2:9 @ not of works, that no one may boast.

riversident@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remember that once you were Gentiles in the flesh and were called uncircumcision by the so-called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands,

riversident@Ephesians:2:12 @ and that you were then apart from Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world.

riversident@Ephesians:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far have become near by the blood of Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:2:14 @ For he is our peace. He has made both Jew and Gentile one and has broken down the dividing wall, the enmity.

riversident@Ephesians:2:15 @ In his own flesh he has ended the force of the law of commandments in ordinances in order to make the two, in himself, into one new man, thus making peace,

riversident@Ephesians:2:18 @ For through him we, both Jews and Gentiles, have access through one Spirit to the Father.

riversident@Ephesians:2:19 @ So then you are no longer strangers and resident aliens, but fellow citizens with the holy and members of the household of God,

riversident@Ephesians:2:20 @ built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner stone.

riversident@Ephesians:3:1 @ FOR this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles, \'97

riversident@Ephesians:3:2 @ if you have heard of the gracious commission which God has given me to you,

riversident@Ephesians:3:3 @ that by revelation the mystery has been disclosed to me, as I wrote before briefly,

riversident@Ephesians:3:5 @ a mystery which was not disclosed in other generations to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

riversident@Ephesians:3:12 @ in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in him.

riversident@Ephesians:3:13 @ So I beg you not to lose heart because of the distresses that come on me for your sake. They are a high honor to you.

riversident@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this reason I bow my knees to the Father

riversident@Ephesians:3:15 @ from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

riversident@Ephesians:3:20 @ To him who is able to do far beyond all we ask or think by the power that works in us,

riversident@Ephesians:3:21 @ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus through all the generations of the ages! Amen.

riversident@Ephesians:4:1 @ I, THE prisoner of the Lord, beg you, then, to live worthily of the calling with which you have been called,

riversident@Ephesians:4:2 @ with all modesty and gentleness, being slow to anger, bearing with one another in love,

riversident@Ephesians:4:3 @ earnest in keeping the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

riversident@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called with one hope that belongs to your calling,

riversident@Ephesians:4:5 @ one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

riversident@Ephesians:4:6 @ one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

riversident@Ephesians:4:7 @ To each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:4:8 @ Therefore it says, "He ascended on high; he led away captives; he gave gifts to men."

riversident@Ephesians:4:13 @ until we all attain oneness in the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, and the maturity of manhood and the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:4:14 @ Then we shall be no longer children tossed and borne about by every wind of teaching through the trickery of men and craftiness in the devices of deceit,

riversident@Ephesians:4:17 @ This then I say and solemnly protest in the Lord: that you are no longer to live as the Gentiles live in vacancy of mind,

riversident@Ephesians:4:19 @ Lost to any sense of shame they have abandoned themselves to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

riversident@Ephesians:4:22 @ that you should put away the old man who belonged to your former way of life and was perishing in deluding passions,

riversident@Ephesians:4:24 @ and put on the new man formed as God approves in the righteousness and holiness of truth.

riversident@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore put aside lying and speak truth every one to his neighbor, for we are members one of another.

riversident@Ephesians:4:26 @ "Be angry and do not sin." Do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

riversident@Ephesians:4:28 @ He who steals must steal no longer, but rather he must labor, working with his own hands something good, so as to have something to share with any one in need.

riversident@Ephesians:4:30 @ Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption.

riversident@Ephesians:4:32 @ Be kind to one another, sympathetic, forgiving one another just as God in Christ has forgiven you.

riversident@Ephesians:5:3 @ Unchastity or any kind of impurity or greediness must not be mentioned among you, as befits holy people;

riversident@Ephesians:5:5 @ For you know well that no unchaste or impure person, no greedy person \'97 who is an idolater \'97 has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

riversident@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with empty words; for because of these things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.

riversident@Ephesians:5:8 @ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live like children of light \'97

riversident@Ephesians:5:19 @ speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and playing the harp heartily to the Lord,

riversident@Ephesians:5:21 @ Be subject to one another in reverence for Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:5:29 @ for no one ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,

riversident@Ephesians:5:31 @ "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife and the two shall become one flesh.

riversident@Ephesians:5:33 @ But each one of you must love his own wife as himself, and the wife must reverence her husband.

riversident@Ephesians:6:3 @ "That it may go well with you and you may be long-lived in the land."

riversident@Ephesians:6:10 @ To conclude: Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

riversident@Ephesians:6:11 @ Put on the complete armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the cunning arts of the Devil.

riversident@Ephesians:6:16 @ In every event take up the shield of faith by which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the Evil One,

riversident@Ephesians:6:17 @ and accept the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

riversident@Ephesians:6:19 @ and in my behalf, that words may be given to me when I open my month to make known with fearlessness the mystery of the good news,

riversident@Ephesians:6:21 @ That you also may know my situation, what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord,

riversident@Philippians:1:1 @ PAUL and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the Holy in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with Bishops and Deacons:

riversident@Philippians:1:6 @ being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun the good work in you will carry it on to completion on the day of Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:1:8 @ For God is my witness how much I long for you all in the affections of Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:1:14 @ and the most of the brethren in the Lord, made confident by my chains, are unusually brave in speaking the message fearlessly.

riversident@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that this will make for my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

riversident@Philippians:1:20 @ according to my earnest expectation and hope that I may be put to shame in nothing, but with all courage, as always, so now Christ may be honored in my body, whether by my life or by my death.

riversident@Philippians:1:24 @ yet that I should stay in the flesh is more needful on your account.

riversident@Philippians:1:25 @ And this I confidently know, that I shall stay and stay near you all for your advancement and joy of faith,

riversident@Philippians:1:26 @ that your exultation in Christ Jesus may overflow on my account, because of my presence again with you.

riversident@Philippians:1:27 @ Only exercise your citizenship in a manner worthy of the good news of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or in absence hear news of you, I may know that you are standing in one spirit, with one mind wrestling in the faith of the good news

riversident@Philippians:1:28 @ and not frightened in anything by your adversaries, which for them is a sign of ruin, but for you of salvation, and that from God;

riversident@Philippians:1:29 @ because it has been graciously allowed you not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for his sake,

riversident@Philippians:2:1 @ IF there is any encouragement in Christ, any persuasive power in love, any fellowship in the Spirit, any sympathies and compassions,

riversident@Philippians:2:4 @ Do not be each intent on his own interests, but also on the interests of others.

riversident@Philippians:2:8 @ and when found in the condition of a man he humbled himself by becoming obedient even to death \'97 death on the cross.

riversident@Philippians:2:10 @ that at the name of Jesus every knee may bow, of beings in heaven and those on earth and those under the earth,

riversident@Philippians:2:11 @ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

riversident@Philippians:2:12 @ So then, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with reverence and awe.

riversident@Philippians:2:15 @ that you may be blameless and pure, children of God, spotless in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation among whom you shine as lights in the world,

riversident@Philippians:2:16 @ holding forth the message of life, so that on the day of Christ I can boast that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

riversident@Philippians:2:17 @ But if I am poured out as a libation on your sacrificial offering of faith, I rejoice and share the joy of you all.

riversident@Philippians:2:19 @ But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I may be cheered by knowing about you.

riversident@Philippians:2:20 @ For I have no one likeminded with him who will so sincerely care for your interests.

riversident@Philippians:2:23 @ So I hope to send him at once when I see how my affairs are going.

riversident@Philippians:2:26 @ since he longs for you all and is troubled because you have heard that he was sick.

riversident@Philippians:2:27 @ Indeed he was sick and near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

riversident@Philippians:2:29 @ Receive him in the Lord with all joy and hold such men in honor,

riversident@Philippians:3:1 @ TO conclude, my brethren: rejoice in the Lord. To repeat to you the same things is not tiresome to me and it is safe for you.

riversident@Philippians:3:2 @ Beware of the dogs, beware of the bad workmen, beware of the excision.

riversident@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the circumcision, we who worship in the Spirit of God and exult in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

riversident@Philippians:3:4 @ though I have ground for confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has ground for confidence in the flesh, I have more \'97

riversident@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in him, not having my own righteousness that was from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God and rests on faith,

riversident@Philippians:3:10 @ that I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming like him in death,

riversident@Philippians:3:11 @ if possibly I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

riversident@Philippians:3:12 @ Not that I have already obtained it or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not consider myself yet to have laid hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and stretching forward to what is in front

riversident@Philippians:4:1 @ SO, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, beloved.

riversident@Philippians:4:3 @ Yes, I ask you, true yokefellow, help them, since they struggled in spreading the good news along with me and Clement and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.

riversident@Philippians:4:8 @ To conclude, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is dignified, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovable, whatever is highly spoken of \'97 if there is any virtue or any praise \'97 think of that.

riversident@Philippians:4:10 @ I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length your thoughtfulness for me had revived. You were thoughtful for me all along, but lacked opportunity.

riversident@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I am speaking because of want; for I have learned how to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

riversident@Philippians:4:12 @ I know how to live humbly and I know how to enjoy abundance. In each and every situation I have been initiated into the secret both of being well fed and of going hungry, both of having abundance and of bearing want.

riversident@Philippians:4:15 @ You Philippians know that at the beginning of the good news, when I came away from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you only,

riversident@Philippians:4:16 @ and that in Thessalonica you sent once, yes, twice, for my need.

riversident@Philippians:4:21 @ Greet every holy one in Christ Jesus. The brethren with me send greetings to you.

riversident@Colossians:1:6 @ which has come to you. Just as in all the world it is bearing fruit and growing, so also it is among you since the day that you heard and learned of the grace of God in truth.

riversident@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason we also, from the day we heard it, never cease praying for you and asking that you may have full knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual insight,

riversident@Colossians:1:13 @ He has saved us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,

riversident@Colossians:1:14 @ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.

riversident@Colossians:1:15 @ He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation;

riversident@Colossians:1:16 @ for in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, both visible and invisible, whether thrones or lordships or archangels or powers \'97 all things have been created through him and for him,

riversident@Colossians:1:20 @ and to reconcile all things to himself through him, making peace through the blood of his cross \'97 all things, I say, whether on earth or in heaven.

riversident@Colossians:1:21 @ And you who were once alienated and enemies in your minds, living in wicked works, he has reconciled

riversident@Colossians:1:23 @ if you remain in the faith, firm and steadfast, never moving from the hope of the good news which you have heard and which has been proclaimed in all the creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a servant.

riversident@Colossians:1:24 @ Now I rejoice in what I suffer for your sake, and in my turn am filling up in my flesh what was lacking in the afflictions of Christ for the sake of his body, that is, the church.

riversident@Colossians:1:25 @ I became a servant of the church according to the commission from God given to me for you, to deliver fully God's message,

riversident@Colossians:1:26 @ the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now made plain to his holy ones,

riversident@Colossians:1:27 @ to whom God willed to make known what is the glorious wealth of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you the hope of glory.

riversident@Colossians:2:4 @ I say this that no one may deceive you by plausible arguments.

riversident@Colossians:2:7 @ rooted and built up in him, growing strong in the faith as you have been taught, and overflowing with thanksgiving.

riversident@Colossians:2:8 @ Beware that no one carries you away captive by his philosophy and empty deceit according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary teachings of the world and not according to Christ.

riversident@Colossians:2:11 @ In him you were circumcised with a circumcision not done by hands, by laying aside your fleshly body in the circumcision of Christ.

riversident@Colossians:2:13 @ You who were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh God has made alive with him, and has forgiven us all our sins.

riversident@Colossians:2:15 @ He despoiled the archangels and authorities and fearlessly made an example of them when he triumphed over them on the cross.

riversident@Colossians:2:16 @ Let no one then judge you in the matter of food or drink or in regard to a festival or new moon or Sabbath.

riversident@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one as umpire defraud you of your prize, if he delights in excessive humility and ceremonial worship of the angels, searching into his own visions, emptily puffed up by his fleshly mind

riversident@Colossians:2:23 @ These rules follow the commandments and teachings of men. They have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed ceremonial and excessive humility and severity to the body, but have no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

riversident@Colossians:3:2 @ Have your minds on the things above and not on the things on the earth.

riversident@Colossians:3:5 @ Treat the members of your earthly bodies as dead \'97 dead to unchastity, impurity, passion, evil desire, and avarice, which is idolatry.

riversident@Colossians:3:6 @ On account of these things comes the wrath of God.

riversident@Colossians:3:7 @ To them you also were once habituated when you lived in them.

riversident@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not lie to one another. You have stripped off the old self with his practices

riversident@Colossians:3:11 @ Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcision or uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave or freeman, but Christ is all and in all.

riversident@Colossians:3:12 @ Put on, then, as the chosen of God, holy and beloved, sympathies, compassions, kindness, humility, gentleness, slowness to anger,

riversident@Colossians:3:13 @ bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if any one has a grievance against any. Just as the Lord forgave you, so must you forgive.

riversident@Colossians:3:14 @ Above all these, clothe yourselves with love, which is the perfect bond of union.

riversident@Colossians:3:15 @ Let the peace of Christ be umpire in your hearts. For this you were called into one body. And be thankful.

riversident@Colossians:3:16 @ The message of Christ must dwell in you richly, as you teach in all wisdom and admonish one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs and sing with grace in your hearts to God.

riversident@Colossians:3:18 @ Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

riversident@Colossians:3:25 @ He who does wrong will be repaid for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

riversident@Colossians:4:2 @ Be earnest and constant in prayer. Be thankfully watchful in it.

riversident@Colossians:4:3 @ Pray along with us and for us that God may open for us a door for the message, so that I may tell the mystery of Christ for the sake of which I am in chains \'97

riversident@Colossians:4:6 @ Let what you say be always with grace, seasoned with salt. Know how you should answer each one.

riversident@Colossians:4:8 @ I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know my situation and that he may encourage your hearts.

riversident@Colossians:4:9 @ And with him I am sending Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you all about affairs here.

riversident@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends his greetings, and so does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (note:)you have received letters about him; if he comes, welcome him(:note),

riversident@Colossians:4:11 @ and so does Jesus who is called Justus. These alone of those who are circumcised are my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

riversident@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, the servant of Christ Jesus, who is one of you, sends his greetings to you. He always wrestles in prayer on your behalf that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

riversident@Colossians:4:16 @ When this letter has been read among you, have it read in the church of the Laodiceans, and you are to read the letter that will come from Laodicea.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ PAUL and Silvanus and Timothy, to the Church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We thank God always for you all when we mention you in our prayers,

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ unceasingly remembering your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ before God our Father.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ We know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ and that our good news came to you not in word only but in power and in the Holy Spirit and in great assurance, just as you know we acted among you for your benefit.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ You became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the message in great affliction with joy which the Holy Spirit gave,

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ so that you became a pattern for all believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For the message of the Lord sounded forth from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone abroad, so that there is no need for us to speak a word.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For the people themselves are telling about us, what a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for his Son from heaven \'97 his Son Jesus whom he raised from the dead and who is saving us from the coming wrath.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ YOU yourselves know, brethren, what a reception we had from you, that it was not without result,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but after we had suffered and been roughly treated, as you know, in Philippi, we made bold in our God to speak to you the good news of God with great wrestling.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our appeal springs not from deception, nor from impure motives, nor from cunning,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as if we were pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ Nor did we ever fall into flattering talk, as you know, nor use any pretext for self-enrichment \'97 God is witness \'97

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or others, although we could have claimed the dignity of Christ's apostles.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ But we became gentle in the midst of you like a nursing mother cherishing her own children.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ Yearning over you so, we would gladly have imparted to you not only God's good news but our own lives as well, because you had become dear to us.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember, brethren, our toil and labor as we worked night and day so as not to burden any one of you while we proclaimed to you the good news of God.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You are witnesses \'97 and God is witness \'97 how purely and justly and blamelessly we acted toward you who believe.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ You know that just like a father toward his own children we encouraged each one of you, and warned and conjured you

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ to live lives worthy of the God who is calling you into his own kingdom and glory.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this reason we unceasingly give thanks to God that when you received from us the report of the message of God you accepted it not as the message of men, but, as it truly is, the message of God, which also is doing its work in you who believe.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you became imitators, brethren, of the churches of God that are in Judaea in Christ Jesus, because you too suffered the same things from your fellow countrymen that they did from the Jews,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out and do not please God and are enemies to all men,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. All this goes always to fill up the measure of their sins. But God's fiercest wrath has overtaken them.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But we, brethren, when bereft of you for a little while, out of sight not out of mind, endeavored more earnestly to see your faces, with great longing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ For that reason we determined to come to you, yes, I, Paul, more than once: but Satan hindered us.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope or joy or crown to boast of before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ You are our glory and joy.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ SO when we could no longer endure the anxiety, we chose to be left at Athens alone

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ and sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the good news of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ that no one might be disturbed in these trials. For you yourselves know that we are destined to this.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For when we were with you we told you in advance, "We shall soon have trouble." And so it came to pass, as you know.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ Therefore, when I could no longer endure the anxiety, I sent to know about your faith for fear that the tempter had tempted you and our labor had gone for nothing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has come to us from you and has brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always keep us well in mind and long to see us, just as we long to see you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ we have been cheered, brethren, in regard to you, in all our straits and distresses by your faith.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ Now we are living, since you are standing firm in the Lord.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For how can we be grateful enough to God for you in view of all the joy we have because of you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ while we pray beyond measure night and day that we may see your faces and make good whatever lacks there may be in your faith?

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ May our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus Christ open the way for us to come to you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ The Lord make you to abound and overflow in love toward one another and toward all men, just as we do toward you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ that your hearts may be made firm and you may be blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ TO conclude, brethren, we beg of you and urge you in the Lord Jesus that, as you learned from us how you ought to live to please God, and are living, you will excel still more.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know what directions we have given you through the Lord Jesus.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God: to have you become holy and have you shun unchastity;

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ to have each of you know how to take a wife for himself in holiness and honor,

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ not in the passion of lust, as the Gentiles do who know not God;

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ to have no one trespass or take advantage of his brother in this matter; for the Lord is the punisher of all such, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ God has not called us to live in impurity, but in holiness.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore he who disregards this disregards not man, but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ Regarding brotherly love you have no need for me to write to you. For you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another,

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ and you do the same to all the brethren in the whole of Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, to excel still further

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ and to be ambitious to lead a quiet life and to mind each his own business and to work with your hands, as we instructed you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ Thus you will live becomingly in the sight of outsiders and will have need of nothing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ We do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding those who are sleeping, that you may not sorrow as the rest of men who have no hope.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For since, as we believe, Jesus died and rose, so too God will through Jesus bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ This we tell you by the word of the Lord: We, the living, who have been left until the coming of the Lord, will not have the start of those who have fallen asleep.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with God's trumpet-call, and first the dead in Christ will rise.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ Then we, the living, who are left, will be caught up along with them into the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall forever be with the Lord.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ So encourage one another with these words.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ BUT regarding times and dates, brethren, you do not need to have me write to you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction is upon them, like the pangs upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brethren, are not in darkness so that the day can take you like a thief.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ You are all sons of light and sons of day. We do not belong to night or to darkness.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ Then let us not be sleeping like the rest of men, but let us watch and be sober.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us who are of the day be sober. Let us put on the breastplate of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, as is fitting, since your faith is growing greatly and the love of each and all of you toward one another is increasing,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ so that we ourselves glory in you among the churches of God because of your endurance and faith in all of your persecutions and in the distresses you are bearing.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ This is a proof of God's righteous judgment. It is to make you worthy of God's kingdom, on behalf of which you are suffering,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ since it is just on God's part to repay with trouble those who are troubling you,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to repay to you, who are being troubled, rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ With flaming fire he will inflict vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the good news of our Lord Jesus.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction and be sent away from the face of the Lord and from his glorious power,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he comes to be glorified among his holy ones and to be wondered at on that day among all believers \'97 for our testimony to you was believed.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ WITH regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to meet him, I beg you, brethren,

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be quickly unsettled in mind nor excited by either a revelation or by a message or a letter supposed to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is close at hand.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come until the Apostasy has first come and the Man of Lawlessness has been revealed \'97 the Son of Perdition,

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ who opposes and exalts himself above everything called God and every object of worship, so that he enters the Temple of God and seats himself there, declaring that he himself is God.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that while I was still with you I used to tell you this?

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And now you know what is restraining him until he is revealed at his appointed time.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only there is just now one who is restraining it until he passes out of the way.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ And then the Lawless One will be revealed. But the Lord Jesus will sweep him away with the breath of his mouth and will make him powerless by the splendor of his coming.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ For his coming will be when Satan is active in every sort of power and in false signs and wonders

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and in every kind of wicked deception of those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth so that they might be saved.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ For this reason God sends to them a deceptive influence so that they believe a lie,

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ that all who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness may be condemned.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through the Spirit's making you holy and your own faith in the truth.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ To this he called you through the good news that we brought, so that you may share the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ Now then, brethren, stand firm and hold fast the teachings that you have been taught whether by our words or by our letter.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ encourage your hearts and make you strong in every good word and work.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ IN conclusion, brethren, pray for us, that the Lord's message may run and be glorified, as among you,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be saved from the unreasonable and wicked men, for faith does not belong to all.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But the Lord is faithful and he will strengthen you and guard you from evil.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ We are persuaded in the Lord in regard to you that you are doing and will do what we direct.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ The Lord guide your hearts in the love of God and the patience of Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ We charge you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to stand aloof from every brother who is living in a disorderly way and not according to the teaching that you received from us.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know that you should imitate us, for we were not disorderly when among you,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ nor did we eat bread with any one without paying, but with labor and toil night and day we worked in order not to burden any one of you.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ Not that we have not the authority, but in order to give you ourselves as an example for you to imitate.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For when we were with you we gave you this command, "If any one will not work, neither is he to eat."

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that some among you are leading disorderly lives, busy about nothing and yet busybodies.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Such we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and eat their own bread.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But you, brethren, must not become discouraged in doing well.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If any one does not obey our words in this letter, mark that man and do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ The Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

riversident@1Timothy:1:10 @ for the unchaste, for those who practice unnatural vices, for slave-dealers, liars, perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to wholesome teaching

riversident@1Timothy:1:16 @ But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might show all of his long-suffering for an example for those who are to believe in him and gain life eternal.

riversident@1Timothy:1:17 @ To the King of the ages, the immortal, invisible, only God, be honor and glory for the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@1Timothy:3:3 @ not given to wine or to blows, but fair-minded, averse to strife, not a lover of money,

riversident@1Timothy:3:5 @ But if any one does not know how to preside over his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?

riversident@1Timothy:3:6 @ He must not be a new convert, for fear he may be blinded by pride and fall into the condemnation of the Devil.

riversident@1Timothy:3:7 @ He must have a good reputation with outsiders so as not to fall into reproach and the snare of the Devil.

riversident@1Timothy:3:8 @ Deacons, in the same way, must be dignified, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not eager for base gain,

riversident@1Timothy:3:9 @ holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.

riversident@1Timothy:3:13 @ Those who have filled the office of deacon well win for themselves a high standing and great boldness in the faith in Christ Jesus.

riversident@1Timothy:3:14 @ I am writing these things to you, although I hope to come to you soon,

riversident@1Timothy:3:16 @ Confessedly great is the mystery of godliness: "Who was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory."

riversident@1Timothy:4:1 @ THE Spirit says distinctly that in later times some will desert from the faith, giving attention to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons,

riversident@1Timothy:4:3 @ forbidding marriage, and insisting on abstinence from certain kinds of food which God made to be partaken of with thanksgiving by those who are faithful and know the truth.

riversident@1Timothy:4:10 @ For to this end we are laboring and wrestling, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

riversident@1Timothy:4:12 @ Let no one look down on you because you are young, but be an example to believers in speech, in the life you lead, in love, in faith, in purity.

riversident@1Timothy:4:13 @ Until I come give attention to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.

riversident@1Timothy:5:11 @ But younger widows refuse, for when wanton desires lead them away from Christ they wish to marry

riversident@1Timothy:5:12 @ and thus they incur condemnation for breaking their first promise.

riversident@1Timothy:5:13 @ At the same time they learn to be idle, going around from house to house, and not only idle, but gossips, and busybodies, saying what they should not.

riversident@1Timothy:5:14 @ I would, therefore, have the younger widows marry, bear children, keep house, give no occasion to our enemies for slander.

riversident@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not lay hands of ordination upon any one hastily. Have no share in the sins of other men. Keep yourself pure.

riversident@1Timothy:5:23 @ Do not keep on being a water-drinker, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and because of your frequent ailments.

riversident@1Timothy:5:24 @ Some men's sins are conspicuous and go on before to condemnation, but the sins of some men follow after them.

riversident@1Timothy:6:6 @ Religion with contentment is a great source of gain.

riversident@1Timothy:6:9 @ But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and injurious passions which plunge men into destruction and ruin.

riversident@1Timothy:6:10 @ For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some men grasping for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pangs.

riversident@1Timothy:6:12 @ Play the grand hard game of the faith. Lay hold on life eternal, to which you have been called and have made the noble confession before many witnesses.

riversident@1Timothy:6:13 @ I charge you in the presence of God who gives life to all, and Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate made the noble confession,

riversident@Hebrews:1:2 @ but at the end of these days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the world,

riversident@Hebrews:1:3 @ who is the reflection of his glory and the expression of his nature and sustains all things by his word of power, and who, when he had made purification from sins, took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

riversident@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to which of the angels did he ever say, "Thou art my son; I have to-day become thy Father"? and again, "I will be to him a Father and he shall be to me a Son"?

riversident@Hebrews:1:8 @ But regarding the Son he says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever. Thy royal scepter is a scepter of justice.

riversident@Hebrews:1:9 @ Thou lovest righteousness and hatest lawlessness, therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy companions."

riversident@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth for service in behalf of those who are to inherit salvation?

riversident@Hebrews:2:1 @ FOR this reason we should give special attention to the things that we have heard, so as not to drift away from them.

riversident@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message spoken through angels was sure and every violation and disobedience received merited punishment,

riversident@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the beginning was spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

riversident@Hebrews:2:4 @ while God added his testimony by signs and wonders and many kinds of miracles and impartation of the Holy Spirit according to his will?

riversident@Hebrews:2:6 @ But somewhere one says, "What is man that thou rememberest him? Or the son of man that thou carest for him?

riversident@Hebrews:2:7 @ Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels. With glory and honor thou hast crowned him.

riversident@Hebrews:2:9 @ but we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death that by the grace of God he might taste of death for every man, now crowned with glory and honor.

riversident@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting that he through whom are all things and for whom are all things, when leading many sons to glory, should make the great Leader of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

riversident@Hebrews:2:11 @ For he who makes holy and they who are made holy are all of one. For this cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

riversident@Hebrews:2:17 @ And for that reason he had to be made like his brethren in everything, so as to be a compassionate and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

riversident@Hebrews:3:1 @ THEREFORE, holy brethren, sharers in a heavenly call, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,

riversident@Hebrews:3:3 @ For he has been thought worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who has built a house has more honor than the house.

riversident@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house is built by some one, but he who built all things is God.

riversident@Hebrews:3:5 @ Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant for a testimony to the things that were to be spoken,

riversident@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ as a Son over his own house. We are his house if we hold firmly to the end our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

riversident@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as when they made me angry on the day when they tried me in the desert,

riversident@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was much displeased with that generation and said, 'They always go astray in their hearts and they do not know my paths.'

riversident@Hebrews:3:12 @ See to it, brethren, that there shall not be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart ready to forsake the living God,

riversident@Hebrews:3:13 @ but encourage one another daily while it is called "to-day," that no one may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

riversident@Hebrews:4:1 @ LET us, then, be afraid that, though the promise of entering his rest is still left, some one of you may seem to have missed it.

riversident@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have faith are entering into the rest, as he said, "As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter into my rest,' " although his works had been finished since the creation of the world.

riversident@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day thus, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,"

riversident@Hebrews:4:7 @ again he indicates a day, "to-day," saying in David so long after, as has been already quoted, "To-day if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."

riversident@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us endeavor then to enter into that rest so that no one shall fall, after that example of lack of faith.

riversident@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.

riversident@Hebrews:4:16 @ Therefore let us come with confidence to the throne of grace and receive compassion and find grace for timely help.

riversident@Hebrews:5:1 @ FOR every high priest taken from among men is appointed in behalf of men in things relating to God to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

riversident@Hebrews:5:3 @ For this reason he must bring an offering for his own sins, just as he does for those of the people.

riversident@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no one takes this honor upon himself unless called by God, as Aaron was.

riversident@Hebrews:5:5 @ So too Christ did not take for himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but he who said to him, "Thou art my Son, to-day I have become thy Father,"

riversident@Hebrews:5:7 @ Christ, in the days of his flesh, offered prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, with strong outcries and tears, and was heard and saved from his terrors.

riversident@Hebrews:5:8 @ Although he was a Son he learned obedience from his sufferings,

riversident@Hebrews:5:9 @ and being thus made perfect he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

riversident@Hebrews:5:12 @ For when, considering the time, you ought to be teachers you need to have some one teach you again the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk and not solid food.

riversident@Hebrews:5:13 @ For every one who takes milk is inexperienced in the doctrine of righteousness, for he is a child.

riversident@Hebrews:6:1 @ THEREFORE let us leave elementary teaching about Christ and hasten on to what is advanced, not laying again a foundation \'97 change of heart from dead works, faith in God,

riversident@Hebrews:6:2 @ the teaching about baptisms, the laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

riversident@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible for those who have been once for all enlightened and have tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers in the Holy Spirit

riversident@Hebrews:6:6 @ and then have fallen away, to have again a change of heart, since they are crucifying for themselves afresh the Son of God and putting him to open shame.

riversident@Hebrews:6:7 @ For ground that drinks the rain that comes often upon it and bears plants useful to those for whom it is farmed shares in God's blessing;

riversident@Hebrews:6:9 @ But we are persuaded of better things regarding you, beloved, things that belong with salvation, though we thus speak.

riversident@Hebrews:6:11 @ But we desire to have each one of you show to the end the same earnestness for the fulfillment of our hope,

riversident@Hebrews:6:13 @ For God, when making the promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, swore by himself,

riversident@Hebrews:6:16 @ For men swear by the greater and an oath for confirmation is to them the end of all dispute.

riversident@Hebrews:6:18 @ that by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to be false, we might have strong encouragement, we who have fled to lay hold on the hope that lies before us.

riversident@Hebrews:7:2 @ and to whom Abraham gave a tenth of all (note:)first, by the translation of his name, "King of Righteousness," and then king of Salem, which means "King of Peace"(:note),

riversident@Hebrews:7:3 @ without father, without mother, without ancestors, without either birthday or end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest permanently.

riversident@Hebrews:7:5 @ And even those of the sons of Levi who attain the priesthood have command according to the Law to take a tenth from the people, their own brethren, although these have sprung from the loins of Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:7:6 @ But he who had no genealogy from these took a tenth from Abraham and pronounced a blessing on him who had the promises.

riversident@Hebrews:7:8 @ And here mortal men receive tenths, but there one of whom the witness is that he is living.

riversident@Hebrews:7:11 @ If, then, perfection had been through the Levitical priesthood, \'97 for on the basis of that the people received the Law \'97 what need was there for another kind of priest to arise and not be called of the order of Aaron?

riversident@Hebrews:7:13 @ For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has ever had anything to do with the altar.

riversident@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is plain that our Lord has arisen from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

riversident@Hebrews:7:19 @ for the Law brought nothing to perfection \'97 and there is the bringing in of a better hope through which we draw near to God.

riversident@Hebrews:7:23 @ And many of them became priests because they were prevented by death from continuing,

riversident@Hebrews:7:24 @ but he, because he continues forever, has an unending priesthood.

riversident@Hebrews:7:27 @ He has not the daily need, like the other priests, first to offer sacrifices for his own sins and then for those of the people. This latter he did once for all when he offered himself.

riversident@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law makes high priests of men who have infirmities, but the word of the oath, which comes after the Law, makes High Priest of a Son who is perfected forever.

riversident@Hebrews:8:1 @ THE chief point of what I have been saying is this: we have such a High Priest who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens,

riversident@Hebrews:8:3 @ Now every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. Whence it is necessary for this one to have something to offer.

riversident@Hebrews:8:4 @ If he were upon the earth he would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law.

riversident@Hebrews:8:5 @ They minister as an example and shadow of the things in heaven, just as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the Tent. "See," it was said, "that you make everything according to the model shown you on the mountain."

riversident@Hebrews:8:6 @ But now Christ has obtained a ministry as much more excellent as the covenant of which he is mediator is better and based upon better promises.

riversident@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first covenant had been faultless a place would not have been sought for a second.

riversident@Hebrews:8:9 @ not in the manner of the covenant which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not abide by my covenant and I ceased to care for them, says the Lord.

riversident@Hebrews:8:10 @ This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their minds and will write them upon their hearts and I will be their God and they will be my people.

riversident@Hebrews:8:11 @ They shall not teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother saying, 'Know the Lord'; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them,

riversident@Hebrews:8:12 @ and I will be merciful to their wrong-doings and their sins I will remember no more."

riversident@Hebrews:8:13 @ In saying "new" he has pronounced the first covenant old. But what grows old and decadent is near to disappearance.

riversident@Hebrews:9:1 @ THE first covenant had regulations of worship and its holy building in this world.

riversident@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a Tent was erected, in the first part of which were the lampstand and the table and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.

riversident@Hebrews:9:3 @ Behind the second curtain was the part called the Holy of Holies.

riversident@Hebrews:9:4 @ It had the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant all covered with gold. In this was a golden jar with the manna and Aaron's rod that sprouted and the tablets of the covenant.

riversident@Hebrews:9:5 @ Above it were cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of propitiation. Regarding these things it is not now possible to speak in detail.

riversident@Hebrews:9:6 @ But these things being thus arranged, the priests go constantly into the first part of the Tent, performing their services,

riversident@Hebrews:9:7 @ but into the second part the High Priest alone goes once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins ignorantly committed by the people.

riversident@Hebrews:9:9 @ That is a symbol, for the time being, in accordance with which gifts and sacrifices are offered, though they cannot make the worshiper perfect in his conscience,

riversident@Hebrews:9:10 @ since they consist only of foods and drinks and various baths \'97 rules respecting the flesh, imposed until the time of reformation.

riversident@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ came as High Priest of the good things that have come, he entered once for all through the greater and more perfect Tent not made by hands \'97 that is, not of this creation \'97

riversident@Hebrews:9:12 @ and not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, into the holy place, and thereby found eternal redemption.

riversident@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more will the blood of Christ, who through an eternal Spirit offered himself an unblemished sacrifice to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works for the service of the living God.

riversident@Hebrews:9:15 @ For this reason he is the mediator of a better covenant that, a death having taken place for redemption from sins under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance promised to them.

riversident@Hebrews:9:19 @ When all the commands of the Law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled it on the book and on all the people,

riversident@Hebrews:9:26 @ then he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now, once for all, at the end of the ages, he has appeared to do away with sin by his sacrifice.

riversident@Hebrews:9:27 @ And as it is appointed for men once for all to die and after this comes judgment,

riversident@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ was once for all offered to bear the sins of many and will appear the second time, apart from sin, to those who are looking for him, and bring them salvation.

riversident@Hebrews:10:1 @ FOR the Law with a shadow of the good things that are coming, but not the very likeness of the things, cannot, by the same sacrifices which they offer constantly every year, ever make perfect those who come,

riversident@Hebrews:10:2 @ since would they not have ceased offering them? Because the worshipers, once for all cleansed, would have had no consciousness of sins.

riversident@Hebrews:10:5 @ Therefore on coming into the world he says, "Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire: a body thou hast prepared for me.

riversident@Hebrews:10:9 @ and then he says, "Here I have come to do thy will." He takes away the first to establish the second.

riversident@Hebrews:10:10 @ By this "will" we are made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

riversident@Hebrews:10:12 @ But this Priest after offering one sacrifice for sins forever, took his seat at the right hand of God,

riversident@Hebrews:10:13 @ for the future only waiting until his enemies are made his footstool.

riversident@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by one offering he has forever perfected those who are made holy.

riversident@Hebrews:10:16 @ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts and on their minds I will write them," he adds,

riversident@Hebrews:10:18 @ But where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

riversident@Hebrews:10:19 @ Since we have, then, brethren, confidence in entering the holy place through the blood of Jesus,

riversident@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us come with true hearts in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies bathed in pure water.

riversident@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he is faithful who has promised,

riversident@Hebrews:10:24 @ and let us keep watch to incite one another to love and noble deeds,

riversident@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting to assemble yourselves, as some do, but encouraging one another, and so much the more, as you see the day drawing near.

riversident@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there remains no longer any sacrifice for sins,

riversident@Hebrews:10:27 @ but a dreadful expectation of doom and a fury of fire that will devour the opposers.

riversident@Hebrews:10:28 @ Any one who sets aside a law of Moses dies without pity on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

riversident@Hebrews:10:29 @ Of how much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy who has trampled on the Son of God, who has thought the blood of the covenant, by which it was made holy, an unholy thing, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

riversident@Hebrews:10:33 @ at one time made a public spectacle by reproaches and distresses, at another time making common cause with those who were thus treated.

riversident@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you even suffered with the prisoners and accepted the plundering of your property with joy, knowing that you had a better and enduring possession.

riversident@Hebrews:10:35 @ Do not, then, cast away your confidence, for it will have a great reward.

riversident@Hebrews:11:1 @ FAITH is an assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.

riversident@Hebrews:11:2 @ By this the men of old won their fame.

riversident@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he was not found because God had taken him. For before being taken he had this testimony that he had pleased God.

riversident@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, after receiving a divine warning regarding things as yet unseen, reverently built an ark for the saving of his household. Thus he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness of faith.

riversident@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he was looking for the city that has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

riversident@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah received power to conceive a child even when past the natural time of life, since she thought him trustworthy who had given the promise.

riversident@Hebrews:11:12 @ And so from just one man, already dead in that respect, there sprang descendants "as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand on the seashore innumerable."

riversident@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having obtained the promised blessings, but they saw them and greeted them afar and confessed that they were strangers and foreigners in the land.

riversident@Hebrews:11:18 @ regarding whom it had been said, "Those only whose descent is through Isaac shall be called your descendants."

riversident@Hebrews:11:19 @ He reasoned that God was able to raise him even from the dead, and figuratively he did win him back from the dead.

riversident@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob when dying blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped leaning on the top of his staff.

riversident@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when at his end, mentioned the departure of the children of Israel and gave orders regarding his own bones.

riversident@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses at his birth was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they did not fear the king's command.

riversident@Hebrews:11:24 @ By faith Moses when he had grown up refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter.

riversident@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith they crossed the Red Sea as on dry land; but the Egyptians when they tried to do so were drowned.

riversident@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what shall I say further? Time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David and Samuel and the prophets;

riversident@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of wickedness. The tongue stands among our members as that which spots the whole body and sets on fire the wheel of nature and is itself set on fire by Gehenna.

riversident@James:3:8 @ but the tongue no man is able to tame. It is a restless evil; it is full of deadly poison.

riversident@James:3:13 @ Who is wise and intelligent among you? Let him show out of the noble life that he lives his works in wise gentleness.

riversident@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and party-spirit in your hearts, do not boast and falsely contradict the truth.

riversident@James:3:15 @ This wisdom does not come down from on high, but is earthly, animal, demoniacal.

riversident@James:3:16 @ For where jealousy and party-spirit are, there is confusion and every base affair.

riversident@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom from on high is first pure, then peaceable, fair-minded, easily persuaded, full of compassion and good fruits, impartial, sincere.

riversident@James:4:1 @ WHENCE come wars and whence come strifes among you? Is it not from your pleasures which carry on war in your members?

riversident@James:4:2 @ You long for something and do not have it. You murder and envy and cannot obtain it. You battle and war. You do not have, because of your not asking.

riversident@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask wickedly to waste it on your pleasures.

riversident@James:4:5 @ Do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which he made dwell in us long enviously?

riversident@James:4:11 @ Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against his brother speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

riversident@James:4:12 @ One is the Lawgiver and Judge \'97 he who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you, to judge your neighbor?

riversident@James:4:13 @ Come, now, you who say, "To-day or to-morrow we will go to such a city and spend a year and do business and make money,"

riversident@James:4:14 @ though you do not know what your life will be like on the morrow. For you are a vapor that appears for a little while and then disappears.

riversident@James:4:17 @ If any one, then, knows how to do good and is not doing it, he is committing sin.

riversident@James:5:1 @ COME, now, you rich men, wail and lament over the miseries that are coming upon you.

riversident@James:5:3 @ your gold and silver are rusted over and the rust on them will be an evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire.

riversident@James:5:6 @ You have condemned, you have murdered, the righteous; he does not resist you.

riversident@James:5:9 @ Do not fret at one another, brethren, and then you will not be judged. The Judge is standing before your doors.

riversident@James:5:11 @ We call them blessed because they endured. You have heard of the patience of Job and have seen the end of the Lord's dealings with him, that the Lord is very tender and compassionate.

riversident@James:5:12 @ Above all things, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by the earth or by any other oath. Let your yes be yes and your no be no, that you may not fall under condemnation.

riversident@James:5:13 @ Is any one of you suffering hardship? Let him pray. Is any one cheerful? Let him sing with the harp.

riversident@James:5:14 @ Is any one of you sick? Let him call in the elders of the church and let them pray over him and anoint him with olive oil in the name of the Lord.

riversident@James:5:16 @ Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another in order to be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man has great power.

riversident@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man of the same weaknesses as ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

riversident@James:5:19 @ My brethren, if one of you strays from the truth and any one brings him back,

riversident@1Peter:1:1 @ PETER, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the Chosen Ones of the scattered Jews in foreign lands who are living in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia \'97

riversident@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead \'97

riversident@1Peter:1:5 @ who are guarded by the power of God through faith for the salvation which is ready to be revealed on the last day.

riversident@1Peter:1:7 @ so that your tested faith, much more precious than gold that perishes though tested by fire, may be found to your praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed,

riversident@1Peter:1:9 @ while you receive the reward of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

riversident@1Peter:1:10 @ Regarding this salvation the prophets who foretold the grace that was to come to you

riversident@1Peter:1:12 @ It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who have told you the good news by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven \'97 things which angels earnestly long to look into.

riversident@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore brace up your minds, be calm and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

riversident@1Peter:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not shape your lives by the passions that ruled you in the former days of ignorance,

riversident@1Peter:1:15 @ but, like the Holy One who has called you, become yourselves holy in all your way of life,

riversident@1Peter:1:17 @ And if you call upon him as Father who impartially judges by each one's work, live out the time of your sojourn here in reverence,

riversident@1Peter:1:20 @ who was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of time for your sake

riversident@1Peter:1:22 @ Now that you have made your souls holy by obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, you must love one another steadily from your hearts,

riversident@1Peter:2:2 @ and, like new-born babes, long for the reasonable pure milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation,

riversident@1Peter:2:4 @ Coming to him, a living stone, rejected by men but with the Lord chosen and precious,

riversident@1Peter:2:5 @ you also as living stones are built up, a spiritual house, and become a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

riversident@1Peter:2:6 @ Therefore it is contained in Scripture, "See, I am laying in Zion a chosen stone, an honored corner stone. He who has faith in him will not be put to shame."

riversident@1Peter:2:7 @ To you who have faith is the "honor," but to the unbelieving "the stone which the builders rejected \'97 that has become the corner stone,

riversident@1Peter:2:8 @ a stone for the foot to strike, a rock to stumble over." Their feet strike the message because of their unbelief, and to this they were destined.

riversident@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may proclaim the virtues of him who called you from darkness into his wonderful light.

riversident@1Peter:2:10 @ Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God: once you had not found compassion, but now you have found compassion.

riversident@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I beg you, as foreigners and resident aliens, to shun the passions of the flesh which war against the soul.

riversident@1Peter:2:12 @ Keep your daily life among the Gentiles honorable, so that, although they talk against you as if you were wrongdoers, they may, from your noble deeds that they see, glorify God on the day of inspection.

riversident@1Peter:2:13 @ Be submissive to every human institution for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme,

riversident@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors as those sent by him for the punishment of wrongdoers and the praise of those who do good.

riversident@1Peter:2:17 @ Honor all men, love the brotherhood, reverence God, honor the king.

riversident@1Peter:2:18 @ Household servants, be submissive with all reverence to your lords, not only to the good and fair, but also to the surly.

riversident@1Peter:2:19 @ For this is grace if for conscience toward God any one bears pain, suffering unjustly.

riversident@1Peter:2:22 @ He had done no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth.

riversident@1Peter:2:24 @ He bore our sins in his own body on the tree that we might die to sins and live to righteousness.

riversident@1Peter:3:1 @ IN the same way you wives are to be submissive to your own husbands, so that if any disbelieve the message they may be won over by the lives of their wives without argument,

riversident@1Peter:3:3 @ Your adornment must not be of the external kind \'97 braiding the hair and putting on gold and wearing fine dresses;

riversident@1Peter:3:4 @ but the hidden personality of the heart must wear the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in God's sight most precious.

riversident@1Peter:3:7 @ In the same way, you husbands must live with your wives wisely, since woman's sex is weaker, but you must give them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

riversident@1Peter:3:8 @ Finally, all must be like-minded, sympathetic, full of brotherly love, compassionate, humble-minded,

riversident@1Peter:3:10 @ For "He who would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

riversident@1Peter:3:12 @ For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and his ears are open to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against wrongdoers."

riversident@1Peter:3:15 @ but exalt Christ as Lord in your hearts and be always ready to defend yourselves to every one who asks you to give account of the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.

riversident@1Peter:3:16 @ Keep a good conscience that, although you are slandered, those who misrepresent your good life in Christ may be put to shame.

riversident@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better to suffer, if that should be God's will, for doing good than for doing wrong.

riversident@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ once for all died for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might lead us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,

riversident@1Peter:3:19 @ in which he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits

riversident@1Peter:3:20 @ who were once disobedient, when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah while the ark was being prepared, into which a few, that is eight souls, went and were saved through water.

riversident@1Peter:3:21 @ This is a type of baptism, which now saves us \'97 not the putting off of soil from the flesh, but the endeavor for a good conscience toward God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

riversident@1Peter:3:22 @ Now that he has gone into heaven he is at the right hand of God, and angels and authorities and powers have been made subject to him.

riversident@1Peter:4:2 @ so that he does not go on living what remains of his time in the flesh according to human passions, but according to God's will.

riversident@1Peter:4:3 @ The time that has passed was enough to spend doing the will of the Gentiles, when you went on in indecencies, passions, hard drinking, revelries, carousings, and lawless idolatries.

riversident@1Peter:4:8 @ Above all things have earnest love to one another, for love hides a host of sins.

riversident@1Peter:4:9 @ Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

riversident@1Peter:4:11 @ If any one speaks, let it be as uttering the oracles of God. If any one serves, let it be from the strength that God supplies. Thus in all things let God be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him be glory and strength for the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery fury that is among you, which has come to try you, as if some strange thing were happening to you.

riversident@1Peter:4:14 @ If you are reproached for the name of Christ you are blessed, for the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.

riversident@1Peter:4:15 @ No one of you must suffer as a murderer or as a thief or as a wrongdoer or as a meddler in other men's affairs.

riversident@1Peter:5:1 @ THE elders among you I beg \'97 I who am a fellow elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ and a sharer in the glory soon to be revealed \'97

riversident@1Peter:5:2 @ I beg you to shepherd the flock of God that is among you, not because you must, but willingly, not for base gain, but eagerly,

riversident@1Peter:5:5 @ In the same way you younger men must be subject to your elders. You all must put on the apron of humble service for one another. For God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

riversident@1Peter:5:7 @ Cast all your anxiety on him, for he cares for you.

riversident@1Peter:5:8 @ Be sober, watch. Your enemy the Devil, like a roaring lion, goes about seeking some one to devour.

riversident@1Peter:5:13 @ She who is in Babylon, chosen with you, sends her greeting to you, and so does Mark my son.

riversident@1Peter:5:14 @ Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all in Christ.

riversident@2Peter:1:1 @ SIMON PETER, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have been allotted a faith as precious as ours:

riversident@2Peter:1:4 @ and thereby great and precious promises have been granted to us, that through them you may escape the corruption that is in the world through passion and become sharers in the divine nature,

riversident@2Peter:1:5 @ for this very reason make it your whole endeavor to supply to your faith virtue, and to your virtue knowledge,

riversident@2Peter:1:6 @ and to your knowledge self-control, and to your self-control endurance, and to your endurance reverence,

riversident@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I shall always keep reminding you of these things, although you know them and are steadfast in the truth that you have.

riversident@2Peter:1:13 @ I think it right so long as I am in this tent to arouse you by reminding you,

riversident@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the laying aside of my tent will come soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made plain to me.

riversident@2Peter:1:15 @ I will endeavor also on every occasion to make it so that after my going you shall have these things in memory.

riversident@2Peter:1:17 @ For he received from God the Father honor and glory when such words as these were borne to him from the majestic glory, "This is my Son, the Beloved; in him I delight."

riversident@2Peter:1:18 @ And this voice we heard borne from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

riversident@2Peter:1:19 @ Thus have we the words of the prophets confirmed, and you will do well to give attention to them as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

riversident@2Peter:1:20 @ since you know this first, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from any one's private interpretation,

riversident@2Peter:2:1 @ BUT false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among yourselves, and they will craftily bring in deadly heresies, even disowning the Lord who bought them and bringing on themselves quick ruin.

riversident@2Peter:2:3 @ In covetousness they will make gain out of you by their cunning words. But their condemnation from of old has not been inactive, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

riversident@2Peter:2:5 @ and did not spare the ancient world, but guarded Noah, a herald of righteousness, and seven others, when he brought the flood on the world of the ungodly;

riversident@2Peter:2:6 @ and if reducing to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah he condemned them to destruction, making them an example for the godless of what would come upon them,

riversident@2Peter:2:8 @ for that righteous man living among them was tortured day and night in his righteous soul by the sight and hearing of their lawless deeds, \'97

riversident@2Peter:2:10 @ especially those who go after flesh in polluting passions, and despise lordship. They are daring, self-willed; they do not tremble to speak insultingly of glorious beings

riversident@2Peter:2:12 @ But they, like irrational creatures, born mere animals for capture and destruction, while speaking profanely of things they are ignorant of, will be corrupted by their own corruption,

riversident@2Peter:2:13 @ and will suffer unrighteously as the reward of their own unrighteousness. They think it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are spots and blots as they revel in their deceptions while they feast sumptuously with you.

riversident@2Peter:2:15 @ Leaving the straight path they have wandered away following the path of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.

riversident@2Peter:2:18 @ For by speaking great empty swelling words they entrap in the passions of the flesh \'97 wanton excesses \'97 those who are nearly escaping from those who live in error.

riversident@2Peter:2:19 @ While they promise them liberty they themselves are the slaves of corruption; for by whatever any one is overcome to that he is enslaved.

riversident@2Peter:3:1 @ THIS second letter, beloved, I am writing you. In both I have tried, by awakening your memory,

riversident@2Peter:3:2 @ to arouse your honest minds to recall the predictions of the holy prophets and the commands of your apostles from the Lord and Savior.

riversident@2Peter:3:3 @ First you should know this, that in the last days scoffers will come with their scoffing, living according to their own passions

riversident@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, "Where is his promised coming? for since the fathers fell asleep all things remain as they have been since the beginning of the creation?"

riversident@2Peter:3:7 @ But the present heavens and the earth are by the same word treasured up and kept for fire on the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

riversident@2Peter:3:8 @ Do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like one day.

riversident@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about what he has promised, as some think of slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, wishing not to have any perish but to have all come to a change of heart.

riversident@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise and the burning elements will be dissolved and the earth and the things in it will not be found.

riversident@2Peter:3:11 @ Since all of these things are to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in holy lives and piety,

riversident@2Peter:3:15 @ and regard the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation, as also our beloved brother Paul has written to you, according to the wisdom given to him.

riversident@2Peter:3:17 @ You, then, beloved, since you know these things beforehand, be on your guard not to be led away by the error of the lawless and fall from your own steadfastness,

riversident@1John:1:1 @ WHAT was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and our hands touched \'97 it is about the Word of Life

riversident@1John:1:3 @ what wo have seen and heard we are telling you also, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

riversident@1John:1:7 @ If we live 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.

riversident@1John:1:9 @ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness:

riversident@1John:2:1 @ MY children, I am writing this to you in order that you may not sin. Even if any one sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, who is righteous.

riversident@1John:2:2 @ And he is an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but for those of the whole world.

riversident@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have come to know the Father.

riversident@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and the message of God remains in you and you have conquered the Evil One.

riversident@1John:2:15 @ Do not love the world nor the things that are in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him;

riversident@1John:2:16 @ for all that is in the world, the passions of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the show and pride of life, is not from the Father, but from the world.

riversident@1John:2:17 @ And the world is passing away with its passions. But he who does the will of God endures forever.

riversident@1John:2:19 @ They went out from us, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us they would have continued with us. But they went out so that it might be plainly seen that not all are of us.

riversident@1John:2:20 @ You have an anointing from the Holy One and you all know.

riversident@1John:2:22 @ Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the Antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

riversident@1John:2:23 @ No one who denies the Son has the Father either. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

riversident@1John:2:24 @ Let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

riversident@1John:2:27 @ But as for you, the anointing that you have received from him remains in you and you have no need for any one to teach you, but as his anointing teaches you about all things and is true and is no lie and as it has taught you, you must remain in him.

riversident@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, remain in him so that if he appears we may have confidence and not shrink in shame from him at his coming.

riversident@1John:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who does righteousness has been born of him.

riversident@1John:3:1 @ SEE what love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called children of God. And so we are. The reason why tho world does not know us is that it did not know him.

riversident@1John:3:3 @ And every one who has this hope set upon Christ purifies himself just as Christ is pure.

riversident@1John:3:4 @ Every one who commits sin commits also lawlessness; for sin is lawlessness.

riversident@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who is doing righteousness is righteous as Christ is righteous.

riversident@1John:3:8 @ He who is committing sin is of the Devil, for the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this the Son of God appeared \'97 to undo the works of the Devil.

riversident@1John:3:9 @ No one who has been born of God commits sin, for God's life-giving germ remains in him and he cannot continue sinning, because he has been born of God.

riversident@1John:3:10 @ By this the children of God are plain to see, also the children of the Devil. Every one who is not doing righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

riversident@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we must love one another.

riversident@1John:3:12 @ Not like Cain, who was of the Wicked One and killed his brother. And for what reason did he kill him? Because his own deeds were wicked and his brother's righteous.

riversident@1John:3:15 @ Every one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has life eternal remaining in him.

riversident@1John:3:17 @ But if any one has this world's goods and sees his brother in need and shuts away his sympathies from him, how can the love of God remain in him?

riversident@1John:3:18 @ Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

riversident@1John:3:19 @ By this we shall know that we are of the truth and shall give confidence to our hearts in his presence,

riversident@1John:3:20 @ because if our hearts condemn us God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.

riversident@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us we have confidence toward God,

riversident@1John:3:23 @ And this is his command \'97 to believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another as he has given us command.

riversident@1John:4:2 @ By this we know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

riversident@1John:4:3 @ and no spirit that does not confess Jesus is from God. This is the spirit of Antichrist, which you have heard is coming into the world and is already in the world.

riversident@1John:4:4 @ But you are of God, little children, and have conquered them, because he who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.

riversident@1John:4:5 @ They belong to the world and for that reason they speak as the world speaks and the world listens to them.

riversident@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and every one who loves has been born of God and knows God.

riversident@1John:4:9 @ By this the love of God to us was made plain: that God sent his only Son into the world so that we may have life through him.

riversident@1John:4:10 @ In this is love \'97 not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

riversident@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God has so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

riversident@1John:4:12 @ No one has ever seen God. If we love one another God abides in us and his love is made perfect in us.

riversident@1John:4:14 @ We have seen and we bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

riversident@1John:4:15 @ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.

riversident@1John:4:17 @ Thus love has been made perfect with us so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment, because as God is we also are in this world.

riversident@1John:4:20 @ If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

riversident@1John:5:1 @ EVERY one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and every one who loves the father who gave him life loves every one who has received life from that father.

riversident@1John:5:4 @ because all that is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.

riversident@1John:5:5 @ Who is the conqueror of the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

riversident@1John:5:6 @ This is he who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ. Not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

riversident@1John:5:9 @ If we accept the testimony of men the testimony of God is greater; for this is God's testimony, that he has testified regarding his Son.

riversident@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony within himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar; because he has not believed the testimony which God has borne regarding his Son.

riversident@1John:5:11 @ This is the testimony: that God has given to us life eternal and this life is in his Son.

riversident@1John:5:12 @ He who has the Son has life; he who has not the Son of God has not life.

riversident@1John:5:13 @ I am writing this to you so that you may know that you have life eternal, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

riversident@1John:5:14 @ This is the confidence that we have toward him: that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

riversident@1John:5:16 @ If any one sees his brother committing a sin that is not deadly, he must ask and God will give him life for those who are committing sin that is not deadly. There is sin that is deadly. I do not say that he should pray in behalf of that.

riversident@1John:5:18 @ We know that every one who has been born of God lives without sinning, but he who was born of God keeps him, and the Evil One does not lay hold of him.

riversident@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are of God and the whole world lies in the Evil One.

riversident@1John:5:20 @ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true and in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life eternal.

riversident@2John:1:1 @ THE Elder to the chosen Lady and her children, whom I love in truth (note:)and not I alone, but also all who have come to know the truth(:note)

riversident@2John:1:3 @ Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

riversident@2John:1:5 @ And now I pray you, Lady, not as if writing a new command for you, but one that we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.

riversident@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have come out into the world and they do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

riversident@2John:1:9 @ Every one who goes forward and does not remain in the teaching of Christ is without God. He who remains in the teaching, he has the Father and the Son.

riversident@2John:1:10 @ If any one comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house and do not bid him welcome.

riversident@2John:1:12 @ I have much to write to you, but I will not do it with paper and ink. I hope to be with you soon and to speak face to face so that our joy may be complete.

riversident@3John:1:6 @ and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to help them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God.

riversident@3John:1:9 @ I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who desires to be first among them, does not receive us.

riversident@3John:1:12 @ Testimony has been borne to Demetrius by all and by the truth itself. We too bear testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

riversident@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, although I have been making every effort to write to you regarding our common salvation, I now find it necessary to write and urge you to contend vigorously for the faith that was once for all delivered to the holy.

riversident@Jude:1:4 @ For certain persons have crept in, who of old were written of as predestined to this doom, godless, changing the grace of our God into profligacy and disowning our only Ruler and Lord, Jesus Christ.

riversident@Jude:1:5 @ I wish to remind you, although you know all things once for all, that the Lord, after saving a people from the land of Egypt, then destroyed those who had no faith;

riversident@Jude:1:10 @ But these speak profanely of whatever they do not know, and all that physically as irrational animals they do understand, in these things they corrupt themselves.

riversident@Jude:1:11 @ Alas for them! for they have traveled in the path of Cain, and for hire have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and have perished in the rebellious talk of Korah.

riversident@Jude:1:12 @ These are the hidden reefs in your love-feasts while they feast freely with you without fear, shepherds who care only for themselves, waterless clouds driven by winds, trees in autumn fruitless, twice dead, uprooted,

riversident@Jude:1:14 @ Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these men when he said, "See, the Lord has come with ten thousand of his holy ones

riversident@Jude:1:15 @ to do judgment upon all and to convict all the irreverent of all their deeds of irreverence which they have irreverently done, and of all the hard things which they have spoken against him, irreverent sinners that they are."

riversident@Jude:1:16 @ These men are complaining grumblers, living according to their own passions, and their mouths speak great swelling words. They show admiration for persons for the sake of their own gain.

riversident@Jude:1:17 @ But you, beloved, remember the words which were long ago spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@Jude:1:18 @ how they told you that in the latter time there would be scoffers living according to their own ungodly passions.

riversident@Jude:1:19 @ These are those who cause divisions, sensual and unspiritual.

riversident@Jude:1:22 @ On some have pity when they are in doubt;

riversident@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God our Savior, be, through Jesus Christ our Lord, glory, majesty, might, and authority, before all time and now and for all the ages! Amen.

riversident@Revelation:1:1 @ A REVELATION of Jesus Christ which God gave to him, to make known to his servants things which must soon take place. He sent and made it known through his angel to his servant John,

riversident@Revelation:1:2 @ who bears witness to the message of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ \'97 everything that he saw.

riversident@Revelation:1:3 @ Blessed is he who reads, and blessed are those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep in mind what is written in it; for the time is near.

riversident@Revelation:1:4 @ John to the seven Churches in Asia: Grace be to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne,

riversident@Revelation:1:5 @ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood,

riversident@Revelation:1:6 @ and made us a kingdom, priests to God his Father, to him be glory and power for the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@Revelation:1:7 @ He is coming with clouds and every eye will see him, even of those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will beat their breasts because of him. Yes, Amen.

riversident@Revelation:1:8 @ says the Lord God,

riversident@Revelation:1:9 @ I, John, your brother and fellow sharer in the distresses and the kingdom and the endurance in Jesus, came to the island called Patmos, for the sake of the message of God and the testimony of Jesus.

riversident@Revelation:1:10 @ I became in the Spirit on the Lord's day and heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,

riversident@Revelation:1:11 @ saying,

riversident@Revelation:1:12 @ I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me, and upon turning I saw seven golden lampstands

riversident@Revelation:1:13 @ and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed in a robe that reached his feet, and girded across the breast with a golden girdle.

riversident@Revelation:1:14 @ His head and his hair were white, like white wool, like snow, and his eyes were like a flame of fire,

riversident@Revelation:1:15 @ and his feet were like fine brass when molten in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters.

riversident@Revelation:1:16 @ He had in his right hand seven stars, and from his mouth there issued a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in full strength.

riversident@Revelation:1:17 @ When I saw him I fell at his feet as if dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said:

riversident@Revelation:4:1 @ AFTER this I looked and there was an open door in heaven and the voice that I had heard at first, as if of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "Come up here and I will show you things that must come to pass hereafter."

riversident@Revelation:4:2 @ Immediately I became in the Spirit. A throne was standing in heaven and on the throne One was sitting.

riversident@Revelation:4:3 @ He who was sitting there was in appearance like a jasper stone and a sardius. A rainbow, in appearance like an emerald, encircled the throne.

riversident@Revelation:4:4 @ Around the throne I saw twenty-four thrones and on these thrones twenty-four elders seated, clothed in white garments and with golden crowns on their heads.

riversident@Revelation:4:5 @ From the throne issued lightnings and voices and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne. These are the seven Spirits of God.

riversident@Revelation:4:6 @ Before the throne there was as it were a glassy sea, like crystal. Near the throne and around the throne there were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

riversident@Revelation:4:7 @ The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man's, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

riversident@Revelation:4:8 @ The four living creatures have each six wings, and around and within they are full of eyes. They cease not saying day and night, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come."

riversident@Revelation:4:9 @ And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, who lives for the ages of the ages,

riversident@Revelation:4:10 @ the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne saying,

riversident@Revelation:4:11 @ "Worthy art thou, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou didst create all things and because of thy will they existed and were created."

riversident@Revelation:5:1 @ THEN I saw in the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne a book with writing inside and outside and closely sealed with seven seals.

riversident@Revelation:5:2 @ I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and loose its seals?"

riversident@Revelation:5:3 @ But no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it.

riversident@Revelation:5:4 @ I wept much because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it.

riversident@Revelation:5:5 @ Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered and can open the book and its seven seals."

riversident@Revelation:5:6 @ Then I saw midway between the throne and the four living creatures and the elders a Lamb standing. He seemed as if he had been slain. He had seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

riversident@Revelation:5:7 @ He came and took the book from the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne.

riversident@Revelation:5:8 @ When he took the book the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and a golden bowl full of incense, which is the prayers of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:5:9 @ Then they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and didst ransom for God by thy blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

riversident@Revelation:5:10 @ and hast made them a kingdom of priests to our God, and they shall be kings on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:5:11 @ Then I looked and I heard the voices of many angels encircling the throne and the voices of the four living creatures and of the elders \'97 the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands \'97

riversident@Revelation:5:12 @ crying aloud, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing."

riversident@Revelation:5:13 @ And every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all creatures in them, I heard saying, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and power for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:5:14 @ The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped.

riversident@Revelation:6:1 @ THEN I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals and I heard one of the living creatures say, as if with a voice of thunder, "Come."

riversident@Revelation:6:2 @ I looked and there came a white horse, and he who was sitting on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him and he went forth conquering and to conquer.

riversident@Revelation:6:3 @ When he opened the second seal I heard the second living creature say, "Come."

riversident@Revelation:6:4 @ Then another horse came out. It was fiery red, and to him who was sitting on it was granted to take peace from the earth so that men should kill one another, and a great sword was given to him.

riversident@Revelation:6:5 @ When he opened the third seal I heard the third living creature say, "Come." I looked and there came a black horse, and he who was sitting on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

riversident@Revelation:6:6 @ I heard what seemed a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A measure of wheat for a shilling and three measures of barley for a shilling. But do no harm to the oil or the wine."

riversident@Revelation:6:7 @ When he opened the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come."

riversident@Revelation:6:8 @ I looked and there came a pale yellow horse. The name of him who was sitting on it was Death, and Hades was following along with him. Authority was granted to them over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and with famine and with pestilence and with the wild beasts of the earth.

riversident@Revelation:6:9 @ When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the sake of God's message and because of the testimony which they had borne.

riversident@Revelation:6:10 @ They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Ruler holy and true, wilt thou delay to judge and take vengeance for our blood upon those who dwell on the earth?"

riversident@Revelation:6:11 @ To each of them a white robe was given, and it was said to them that they must wait quietly yet a little while until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren was complete, who were yet to be killed as they had been.

riversident@Revelation:6:12 @ I saw when he opened the sixth seal and there came a great earthquake and the sun became black, like sackcloth of hair, and the moon became all like blood

riversident@Revelation:6:13 @ and the stars of heaven fell to the ground, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a strong wind,

riversident@Revelation:6:14 @ and the sky passed away like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

riversident@Revelation:6:15 @ Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the generals and the rich and the strong and every slave and freeman hid themselves in the caves and the rocks of the mountains

riversident@Revelation:6:16 @ and said to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,

riversident@Revelation:6:17 @ for the day, the great day, of their wrath has come and who can stand?"

riversident@Revelation:7:1 @ AFTER this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind might blow on the land or on the sea or on any tree.

riversident@Revelation:7:2 @ Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been granted to harm the land and the sea

riversident@Revelation:7:3 @ and said, "Do not harm the land or the sea or any tree until we seal the servants of our God on their foreheads."

riversident@Revelation:7:4 @ I heard the number of those who were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

riversident@Revelation:7:5 @ Of the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand sealed, Of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand,

riversident@Revelation:7:6 @ Of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand,

riversident@Revelation:7:7 @ Of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand,

riversident@Revelation:7:8 @ Of the tribe of Zebulon, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand.

riversident@Revelation:7:9 @ After this I looked and there was a great multitude which no one could count, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb clothed in white robes and with palms in their hands,

riversident@Revelation:7:10 @ and they shouted with a loud voice saying, "Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb!"

riversident@Revelation:7:11 @ And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God

riversident@Revelation:7:12 @ saying, "Amen. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength be to our God for the ages of the ages! Amen."

riversident@Revelation:7:13 @ Then one of the elders spoke to me and said, "These who wear the white robes \'97 who are they and where have they come from?"

riversident@Revelation:7:14 @ I said to him, "My Lord, you know." He said to me, "These have come out of the great distress and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:7:15 @ For this reason they are before the throne of God and worship him day and night in his Temple, and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.

riversident@Revelation:7:16 @ They will not hunger any more nor thirst any more, nor will the sun strike on them nor any burning heat,

riversident@Revelation:7:17 @ for the Lamb who is in the center before the throne will be their shepherd and will lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

riversident@Revelation:8:1 @ WHEN he opened the seventh seal there came a silence in heaven for about half an hour.

riversident@Revelation:8:2 @ Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

riversident@Revelation:8:3 @ Another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and much incense was given to him for him to put with the prayers of all the holy on the golden altar before the throne.

riversident@Revelation:8:4 @ The smoke of the incense from the hand of the angel went up with the prayers of the holy before God.

riversident@Revelation:8:5 @ Then the angel took the censer and filled it from the fire of the altar and cast it to the earth, and there were thunders and voices and lightnings and an earthquake.

riversident@Revelation:8:6 @ Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.

riversident@Revelation:8:7 @ The first sounded his trumpet and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up and a third of the trees were burned up and all green grass was burned up.

riversident@Revelation:8:8 @ The second angel sounded his trumpet and, as it were, a great mountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea became blood

riversident@Revelation:8:9 @ and a third of the creatures in the sea, those that had life, died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

riversident@Revelation:8:10 @ The third angel sounded his trumpet and there fell from heaven a great star burning like a torch. It fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the springs of water.

riversident@Revelation:8:11 @ The name of the star is called Wormwood. Then a third of the waters became worm-wood, and many people died from the waters because they had been made bitter.

riversident@Revelation:8:12 @ The fourth angel sounded his trumpet and a blight fell upon a third part of the sun and a third part of the moon and a third part of the stars, so that a third part of them was darkened, and the day had no light for a third part of it, and the night was darkened in the same way.

riversident@Revelation:8:13 @ Then I looked and I heard an eagle that was flying in mid-heaven say with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to those who are living on the earth, because of the rest of the trumpet-blasts which the three angels are soon to sound!"

riversident@Revelation:9:1 @ THE fifth angel sounded his trumpet and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to the earth. There was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.

riversident@Revelation:9:2 @ And he opened the pit of the abyss and smoke came up from the pit like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun was darkened and the air also by the smoke of the pit.

riversident@Revelation:9:3 @ Out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given to them such as earthly scorpions have.

riversident@Revelation:9:4 @ It was said to them that they should not harm the grass of the earth nor anything green nor any tree, but only the people that did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

riversident@Revelation:9:5 @ It was not granted to them to kill such, but to torment them five months. Their torture was like the torture of a scorpion when it strikes a man.

riversident@Revelation:9:6 @ In those days men will seek for death and will not find it and will long to die, but death will fly from them.

riversident@Revelation:9:7 @ The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for battle. On their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold, and their faces were like human faces.

riversident@Revelation:9:8 @ They had hair like the hair of women. Their teeth were like those of lions.

riversident@Revelation:9:9 @ They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The noise of their wings was like the noise of many-horsed chariots rushing into battle.

riversident@Revelation:9:10 @ They have tails as scorpions have, and stings, and with their tails they have power to harm men five months.

riversident@Revelation:9:11 @ They have over them a king, the angel of the abyss, whose name (note:)Destroyer(:note) is in Hebrew Abaddon, but in Greek Apollyon.

riversident@Revelation:9:12 @ One woe has passed. Two woes are still to come.

riversident@Revelation:9:13 @ The sixth angel sounded his trumpet and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar before God

riversident@Revelation:9:14 @ saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, "Loose the four angels that are chained at the great river Euphrates."

riversident@Revelation:9:15 @ So the four angels were loosed, they who were prepared for the hour and day and month and year to kill a third of men.

riversident@Revelation:9:16 @ The number of the troops of cavalry was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.

riversident@Revelation:9:17 @ This is how the horses and those who sat on them appeared to me in the vision: The riders had breastplates, fiery red, dark blue, and sulphur yellow. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and from their mouths came fire and smoke and sulphur.

riversident@Revelation:9:18 @ By these three plagues a third of men were killed \'97 by the fire and the smoke and the sulphur that came out of their mouths.

riversident@Revelation:9:19 @ For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents with heads, and with these they do injury.

riversident@Revelation:9:20 @ But the rest of men, who were not killed by these plagues, neither repented of the deeds of their hands nor ceased worshiping the demons and their idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk,

riversident@Revelation:9:21 @ nor did they repent of their murders nor of their magic nor of their unchastities nor of their thefts.

riversident@Revelation:10:1 @ THEN I saw another strong angel descending from heaven. He was clothed in a cloud and the rainbow was over his head. His face was like the sun and his legs were like pillars of fire.

riversident@Revelation:10:2 @ He had in his hand a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea and his left on the land

riversident@Revelation:10:3 @ and shouted with a loud voice like the roar of a lion. When he had shouted the seven thunders spoke, each its own message.

riversident@Revelation:10:4 @ When the seven thunders had spoken I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have spoken and do not write it."

riversident@Revelation:10:5 @ Then the angel whom I had seen standing on the sea and on the land lifted his right hand to heaven

riversident@Revelation:10:6 @ and swore by him who lives for the ages of the ages, who formed heaven and all things in it and the earth and all things upon it and the sea and all things in it, "There shall be no more delay,

riversident@Revelation:10:7 @ but in the days of the blast of the seventh angel, when he soon shall sound his trumpet, then the mystery of God has been finished, according to the good news that he gave to his servants the prophets."

riversident@Revelation:10:8 @ Then the voice which I had heard from heaven spoke again with me and said, "Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

riversident@Revelation:10:9 @ So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little book. He said to me, "Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, though in your mouth it will be sweet like honey."

riversident@Revelation:10:10 @ I took the little book from the hand of the angel and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet like honey, but after I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.

riversident@Revelation:10:11 @ They said to me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings."

riversident@Revelation:11:1 @ THEN a reed like a measuring stick was given to me with the words, "Rise and measure the Temple of God and the altar and those who are worshiping at it.

riversident@Revelation:11:2 @ But the court outside the Temple omit and do not measure it, for it has been given over to the Gentiles and they will trample down the holy city forty-two months.

riversident@Revelation:11:3 @ I will grant to my two witnesses to prophesy a thousand, two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

riversident@Revelation:11:4 @ They are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth.

riversident@Revelation:11:5 @ If any one wishes to harm them fire comes from their mouths and consumes their enemies. If any one shall wish to harm them, in this way he must be killed.

riversident@Revelation:11:6 @ They have power to shut up heaven so that no rain shall fall during the days that they are prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and power to smite the earth with every kind of plague as often as they please.

riversident@Revelation:11:7 @ When they have completed their testimony, the Beast that is coming up out of the abyss will make war with them and conquer them and kill them.

riversident@Revelation:11:8 @ Their corpses will lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

riversident@Revelation:11:9 @ Men of all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their corpses three days and a half and will not permit their corpses to be placed in a tomb.

riversident@Revelation:11:10 @ Those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and send gifts to one another, because the two prophets tormented those who live on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:11:11 @ After the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them and they stood on their feet. Then great fear fell on those who were looking at them.

riversident@Revelation:11:12 @ They heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here," and they went up into heaven in the cloud while their enemies were looking at them.

riversident@Revelation:11:13 @ At that hour occurred a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell and seven thousand men were killed by the earthquake. The rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

riversident@Revelation:11:14 @ The second Woe has passed: the third Woe will come soon.

riversident@Revelation:11:15 @ The seventh angel sounded his trumpet and there came loud voices in heaven saying, "The kingship of the world has become our Lord's and his Christ's and he will be king for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:11:16 @ Then the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,

riversident@Revelation:11:17 @ saying, "We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and wast, that thou hast taken thy great power and hast become king.

riversident@Revelation:11:18 @ The Gentiles raged, but thy wrath came and the time to judge the dead and to give the reward to thy servants the prophets and to the holy who reverence thy name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who are destroying the earth."

riversident@Revelation:11:19 @ Then the Temple of God in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant in his temple was seen in his temple, and there came lightnings and voices and thunders and an earthquake and a great hailstorm.

riversident@Revelation:12:1 @ A GREAT sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun. The moon was under her feet and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.

riversident@Revelation:12:2 @ She was with child and cried out in the pangs and anguish of child-birth.

riversident@Revelation:12:3 @ There appeared also another sign in heaven, a great fiery-red Dragon with seven heads and ten horns. On his heads were seven diadems

riversident@Revelation:12:4 @ and his tail dragged a third of the stars of heaven and hurled them to the ground. The Dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth to a child, so that he might devour the child as soon as it was born.

riversident@Revelation:12:5 @ She gave birth to a son who is to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron. Then the child was caught up to God and to his throne.

riversident@Revelation:12:6 @ The woman fled into the wilderness where she has from God a prepared place, that they may nourish her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.

riversident@Revelation:12:7 @ War arose in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the Dragon. The Dragon and his angels fought,

riversident@Revelation:12:8 @ but they failed, and no place was found for them any longer in heaven.

riversident@Revelation:12:9 @ Then was hurled down the great Dragon, the ancient serpent who is called the Devil and Satan, who misleads the whole world \'97 he was hurled to the earth and his angels were hurled with him.

riversident@Revelation:12:10 @ I heard a loud voice in heaven say, "Now has come the salvation and power and kingship of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brethren has been hurled down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.

riversident@Revelation:12:11 @ But they have conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of testimony to him, and they loved not their lives even to death.

riversident@Revelation:12:12 @ Therefore, rejoice, O heavens, and you who tent in them! Alas for the land and the sea! For the Devil has gone down to you in great wrath, knowing that he has but a little time."

riversident@Revelation:12:13 @ When the Dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth he pursued the woman who had given birth to the man-child.

riversident@Revelation:12:14 @ Then there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she shall be fed for a time and times and half a time, hidden from the view of the Serpent.

riversident@Revelation:12:15 @ The Serpent poured from his mouth after the woman water like a river, to sweep her away with a flood.

riversident@Revelation:12:16 @ But the earth helped the woman and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river that the Dragon had poured out of his mouth.

riversident@Revelation:12:17 @ Then the Dragon was enraged against the woman and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring who keep the commands of God and hold the testimony concerning Jesus.

riversident@Revelation:13:1 @ THEN I stood on the sand of the sea and I saw rising out of the sea a Beast with ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten diadems and upon his heads were profane names.

riversident@Revelation:13:2 @ The Beast that I saw was like a leopard, but his feet were like a bear's feet and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The Dragon gave to him his own power and his throne and great authority.

riversident@Revelation:13:3 @ I saw one of his heads, as it were, mortally wounded, but the mortal wound was healed. The whole world followed the Beast in amazement,

riversident@Revelation:13:4 @ and they worshiped the Dragon because he had given such power to the Beast, and they worshiped the Beast, saying, "Who is like the Beast, and who can battle with him?"

riversident@Revelation:13:5 @ There was given to him a mouth speaking boasts and profanities, and there was given to him power to act for forty-two months.

riversident@Revelation:13:6 @ He opened his mouth to insult God, to speak profanely of his name and of his Tent and of those who tent in heaven.

riversident@Revelation:13:7 @ It was granted to the Beast to make war with the holy and to conquer them, and power was granted to him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

riversident@Revelation:13:8 @ All the inhabitants of the earth will worship him, all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the slain Iamb's Book of Life.

riversident@Revelation:13:9 @ If any one has an ear let him hear.

riversident@Revelation:13:10 @ If any one is destined to captivity, into captivity he will go. If any one is to be killed by the sword, by the sword must he be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another Beast coming up out of the land. It had two horns like those of a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.

riversident@Revelation:13:12 @ It exercises all the authority of the first Beast in his presence. It compels the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Beast whose mortal wound was healed.

riversident@Revelation:13:13 @ It does great signs, making fire descend from heaven to earth in the sight of men.

riversident@Revelation:13:14 @ It leads astray the inhabitants of the earth because of the signs which it has been granted power to do in the presence of the Beast. It tells the inhabitants of the earth to make an image of the Beast which was wounded by the sword, yet lived.

riversident@Revelation:13:15 @ Power was granted to it to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast spoke and it caused all who did not worship the image of the Beast to be put to death.

riversident@Revelation:13:16 @ It causes all, small and great, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to have a mark put on their right hands or on their foreheads,

riversident@Revelation:13:17 @ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark \'97 the name of the Beast or the number of his name.

riversident@Revelation:13:18 @ Here wisdom is required. Let him who has understanding count the number of the Beast; for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred and sixty-six.

riversident@Revelation:14:1 @ THEN I looked and there was a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and the name of his Father written on their fore-heads.

riversident@Revelation:14:2 @ I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters, like the sound of loud thunder. The sound that I heard was as of harpers playing on their harps.

riversident@Revelation:14:3 @ They sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been ransomed from the earth.

riversident@Revelation:14:4 @ These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were ransomed from among men as first-fruits for God and the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:14:5 @ No lie was found in their mouths. They are stainless.

riversident@Revelation:14:6 @ Then I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven having eternal good news to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people.

riversident@Revelation:14:7 @ He said in a loud voice, "Reverence God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth and sea and springs of water."

riversident@Revelation:14:8 @ Another angel, a second, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of her passion for unchastity."

riversident@Revelation:14:9 @ Another angel, a third, followed them, saying in a loud voice, "If any one worships the Beast and his image and receives his mark on his forehead and on his hand,

riversident@Revelation:14:10 @ he also will drink of the wine of God's passion which has been mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he will be tortured in fire and brimstone in the presence of holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:14:11 @ And the smoke of their torture will ascend for ages of ages and they will have no rest day or night \'97 those who worship the Beast and his image, and any one who receives the mark of his name."

riversident@Revelation:14:12 @ Here is the endurance of the holy who keep the commands of God and the faith of Jesus.

riversident@Revelation:14:13 @ Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth." "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their toils. For their works follow with them."

riversident@Revelation:14:14 @ Then I looked and there was a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one like a son of man. He had on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.

riversident@Revelation:14:15 @ Another angel came out of the Temple and shouted with a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, "Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is dry."

riversident@Revelation:14:16 @ He who was sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth and the earth was reaped.

riversident@Revelation:14:17 @ Then another angel came out from the Temple that is in heaven and he too had a sharp sickle.

riversident@Revelation:14:18 @ Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are fully ripe."

riversident@Revelation:14:19 @ Then the angel swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth and flung it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

riversident@Revelation:14:20 @ The winepress was trodden outside the city and blood came out from the wine-press as high as the horses' bridles for a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

riversident@Revelation:15:1 @ THEN I saw another sign in heaven. It was great and wonderful \'97 seven angels with the seven plagues which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is fully executed.

riversident@Revelation:15:2 @ Then I saw what was like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had come victorious from the Beast and his image and the number of his name standing by the glassy sea with harps of God.

riversident@Revelation:15:3 @ They were singing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and wonderful are thy works, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are thy ways, O King of the nations.

riversident@Revelation:15:4 @ Who will not reverence and glorify thy name, O Lord? For thou only art holy. All the nations will come and worship before thee, because thy righteous acts have been made manifest."

riversident@Revelation:15:5 @ After this I looked and the Temple of the Tent of testimony in heaven was opened,

riversident@Revelation:15:6 @ and the seven angels with the seven last plagues came out of the Temple, clothed in pure shining linen and girded around their breasts with golden girdles.

riversident@Revelation:15:7 @ One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God who lives for the ages of the ages.

riversident@Revelation:15:8 @ 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 finished.

riversident@Revelation:16:1 @ THEN I heard a loud voice saying from the Temple to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God upon the earth."

riversident@Revelation:16:2 @ The first went away and poured his bowl upon the land, and there came an evil and malignant ulcer on the men who had the mark of the Beast and those who worshiped its image.

riversident@Revelation:16:3 @ The second angel poured out his bowl upon the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man and every living thing that was in the sea died.

riversident@Revelation:16:4 @ The third angel poured out his bowl upon the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.

riversident@Revelation:16:5 @ Then I heard the angel of the waters saying, "Just art thou who art and wast, the Holy One, because thou hast so judged,

riversident@Revelation:16:6 @ for they poured out the blood of thy holy ones and prophets and thou hast given them blood to drink. They deserve it."

riversident@Revelation:16:7 @ Then I heard the altar saying, "Yes, O Lord God Almighty, true and just are thy judgments."

riversident@Revelation:16:8 @ The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was granted to him to scorch men with fire.

riversident@Revelation:16:9 @ Men were scorched with great heat and they insulted the name of God who had power over these plagues, but they did not repent and give him glory.

riversident@Revelation:16:10 @ The fifth angel poured out his bowl upon the throne of the Beast, and his kingdom became darkened and men bit their tongues from pain

riversident@Revelation:16:11 @ and insulted the God of heaven for their pains and their ulcers, but they did not repent of their deeds.

riversident@Revelation:16:12 @ The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to make a road ready for the kings from the sunrising.

riversident@Revelation:16:13 @ Then I saw come 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 impure spirits like frogs.

riversident@Revelation:16:14 @ They are the spirits of demons who work miracles, and they go forth to the kings of the whole habitable world to gather them for the battle of the great day of God the Almighty.

riversident@Revelation:16:15" />

riversident@Revelation:16:16 @ The spirits gathered them to the place called in Hebrew Har-Magedon.

riversident@Revelation:16:17 @ The seventh angel poured out his bowl on the air, and a loud voice came from the Temple, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"

riversident@Revelation:16:18 @ Then came lightnings and voices and thunders and a great earthquake. So great an earthquake has not occurred since man came upon the earth.

riversident@Revelation:16:19 @ The great city was divided into three parts and the cities of the Gentiles fell. Then Babylon the Great was remembered before God \'97 to give to her the cup of the wine of his fierce wrath.

riversident@Revelation:16:20 @ Every island fled and the mountains were not found.

riversident@Revelation:16:21 @ And great hailstones each weighing about a hundred pounds fell from heaven on men. Men insulted God because of the hail, for the plague of it was great.

riversident@Revelation:17:1 @ THEN came one of the seven angels that had the seven plagues and spoke with me. He said, "Come here. I will show you the doom of the great prostitute who sits on many waters

riversident@Revelation:17:2 @ and with whom the kings of the earth have committed lewdness, while the inhabitants of the earth have become drunk with the wine of her lewdness."

riversident@Revelation:17:3 @ He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast covered with profane names, and with seven heads and ten horns.

riversident@Revelation:17:4 @ The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She had in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her lewdness.

riversident@Revelation:17:5 @ On her forehead was written a mysterious name: "Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth."

riversident@Revelation:17:6 @ I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the holy and with the blood of the witnesses for Jesus. When I saw her I wondered greatly.

riversident@Revelation:17:7 @ The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystic meaning of the woman and the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

riversident@Revelation:17:8 @ The Beast which you saw was and is not and will soon come up out of the abyss and go into destruction. And the inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life will be amazed when they see the Beast that was and is not and will be.

riversident@Revelation:17:9 @ Here is need for a mind that has wisdom. "The seven heads are seven mountains upon which the woman sits.

riversident@Revelation:17:10 @ Also they are seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he comes he must stay but a little while.

riversident@Revelation:17:11 @ The Beast which was and is not is also himself an eighth, yet is one of the seven, and will go into destruction.

riversident@Revelation:17:12 @ The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received kingly power, but they will receive power as kings for one hour with the Beast.

riversident@Revelation:17:13 @ They have one mind and they give over their power and authority to the Beast.

riversident@Revelation:17:14 @ They will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings. They who are with him, called and chosen and faithful, will also conquer."

riversident@Revelation:17:15 @ He said to me, "The waters that you saw where the prostitute was sitting are peoples and crowds and nations and tongues.

riversident@Revelation:17:16 @ The ten horns that you saw and the Beast \'97 they hate the prostitute and will make her desolate and naked and they will devour her flesh and will burn her up with fire.

riversident@Revelation:17:17 @ For God has put it in their hearts to carry out his purpose, which is that they shall carry out one purpose and give their royal power to the Beast until the words of God are fulfilled.

riversident@Revelation:17:18 @ The woman that you saw is the great city that has kingly power over the kings of the earth."

riversident@Revelation:18:1 @ AFTER this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great power, and the earth was lit up with his splendor.

riversident@Revelation:18:2 @ He shouted with a powerful voice, saying, "Babylon the Great has fallen, has fallen, and has become a habitation of demons and a stronghold of every impure spirit and a stronghold of every unclean and detested bird.

riversident@Revelation:18:3 @ For all the nations have drunk of the wine of her passion for lewdness and the kings of the earth have committed lewdness with her and by the excess of her luxury the merchants of the earth have grown rich."

riversident@Revelation:18:4 @ Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you may not take part in her sins nor receive a share in her plagues,

riversident@Revelation:18:5 @ for her sins have been heaped up to heaven and God has remembered her unrighteous deeds.

riversident@Revelation:18:6 @ Repay to her as she has paid, and make it double for her deeds. In the cup she mixed mix double for her.

riversident@Revelation:18:7 @ As much as she glorified herself and played the wanton, so much give her torture and woe. For in her heart she says, 'I sit here a queen; no widow am I and woe I shall not see.'

riversident@Revelation:18:8 @ For this reason in one day her plagues will come, death and woe and famine, and she shall be burned up in fire. For strong is the Lord God who has judged her.

riversident@Revelation:18:9 @ "The kings of the earth who have committed lewdness with her and have reveled luxuriously, when they see the smoke of her burning, will wail and beat their breasts.

riversident@Revelation:18:10 @ Standing afar because of their dismay at her torture, they will say, 'Alas, alas, O great city, Babylon the strong city, for in one hour your doom has come!'

riversident@Revelation:18:11 @ The merchants of the earth will weep and wail over her, for no one will any longer buy their cargoes,

riversident@Revelation:18:12 @ cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, all kinds of citrus wood and their many kinds of articles of ivory and their many kinds of articles of costliest wood and brass and iron and marble,

riversident@Revelation:18:19 @ They threw dust upon their heads and shouted as they wept and wailed, saying, "Alas, alas, for the great city in which all who had ships on the sea grew rich from her wealth! For in an hour she has been desolated.

riversident@Revelation:18:20 @ Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you the holy and you apostles and prophets! For God has pronounced sentence in your behalf against her."

riversident@Revelation:18:21 @ Then one strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and hurled it into the sea, saying, "With such violence shall Babylon the great city be hurled down and she will never more be found.

riversident@Revelation:18:22 @ The music of harpers and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will never more be heard in you. No master of any art will ever more be found in you. The sound of the mill will never more be heard in you.

riversident@Revelation:18:23 @ The light of a lamp will never more shine in you. The voices of bridegroom and bride will never again be heard in you. Your merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by your magic arts all the nations were led astray.

riversident@Revelation:18:24 @ In her was found the blood of prophets and of holy men and of all who had been slain on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:19:1 @ AFTER this I heard what seemed the loud voices of a great multitude in heaven saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

riversident@Revelation:19:2 @ for true and just are his judgments. He has judged the great prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her lewdness and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

riversident@Revelation:19:3 @ Again they shouted, "Hallelujah! Her smoke will ascend for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:19:4 @ Then the twenty-four elders fell down and the four living creatures worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, "Amen! Hallelujah!"

riversident@Revelation:19:5 @ A voice came from the throne saying, "Praise our God, all of you his servants who reverence him, both small and great."

riversident@Revelation:19:8 @ and it has been granted to her to be clothed in fine linen shining and pure." For the fine linen is the righteous acts of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:19:9 @ Then he said to me, "Write: Blessed are they who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!" He said to me, "These are the true words of God."

riversident@Revelation:19:10 @ Then I fell down at his feet and worshiped him. But he said to me, "No, no. I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren who hold the testimony to Jesus. Worship God. For testimony to Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

riversident@Revelation:19:11 @ Then I saw heaven open and there was a white horse, and he who was sitting on it was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

riversident@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes are a flame of fire and on his head are many diadems. He has a name written which no one but himself knows,

riversident@Revelation:19:16 @ He has on his robe and on his thigh a name written, "King of kings and Lord of lords."

riversident@Revelation:19:17 @ Then I saw one angel standing on the sun, and he shouted with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, "Come, gather for the great feast of God,

riversident@Revelation:19:18 @ to eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of generals and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of freemen and of slaves, of small and great."

riversident@Revelation:19:19 @ Then I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to do battle with him who sits on the horse and with his army.

riversident@Revelation:19:20 @ And the Beast was captured and with him the False Prophet who did miracles in his presence and thereby misled those who received the mark of the Beast and who worshiped his image. The two were flung alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone.

riversident@Revelation:19:21 @ The rest were slain with the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that issued from his mouth, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

riversident@Revelation:20:2 @ He laid hold of the Dragon, the ancient Serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and chained him for a thousand years

riversident@Revelation:20:3 @ and flung him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he should not mislead the nations until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.

riversident@Revelation:20:4 @ Then I saw thrones, and men took their seats on them and the power to judge was granted to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for God's message, and who had not worshiped the Beast nor his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. They lived and reigned as kings with Christ a thousand years,

riversident@Revelation:20:5 @ but the rest of the dead did not return to life until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

riversident@Revelation:20:11 @ Then I saw a great white throne and him who was sitting on it, from whose face earth and heaven fled away and no place was found for them.

riversident@Revelation:20:12 @ And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another book was opened which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged out of what was written in the books according to their deeds.

riversident@Revelation:20:13 @ The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and they were judged each according to his deeds.

riversident@Revelation:20:14 @ Death and Hades were flung into the lake of fire. This is the second death \'97 the lake of fire.

riversident@Revelation:20:15 @ If any one was not found written in the Book of Life he was flung into the lake of fire.

riversident@Revelation:21:2 @ I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

riversident@Revelation:21:3 @ And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "The Tent of God is with men. He will tent with them and they will be his people and he will be their God.

riversident@Revelation:21:18 @ The material of the wall of it was jasper and the city was pure gold like clear glass.

riversident@Revelation:21:19 @ The foundations of the wall of the city were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

riversident@Revelation:21:21 @ The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold like transparent glass.

riversident@Revelation:21:22 @ I saw no temple in it; for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:21:23 @ And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it; for the glory of God illumines it and the Lamb is its light.

riversident@Revelation:21:24 @ The nations will walk by its light and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it,

riversident@Revelation:21:25 @ and its gates will not be closed by day, and there will be no night there.

riversident@Revelation:21:26 @ They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
