riversident@Romans:1:4 @ and was with power proved to be the Son of God according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead);

riversident@Romans:1:5 @ through whom we obtained grace and apostleship to promote obedience of faith for the sake of his name,

riversident@Romans:1:7 @ to all who are in Rome, beloved by God, called to be holy: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that I may be encouraged with you and by you through our mutual faith, yours and mine.

riversident@Romans:1:14 @ I am a debtor to Greeks and to Barbarians, to wise men and to unthinking men;

riversident@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the good news. It is the power of God for salvation to every one who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

riversident@Romans:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and wickedness of men who hold the truth but practice unrighteousness.

riversident@Romans:1:20 @ For God's invisible qualities \'97 his everlasting power and deity \'97 are, since the creation of the world, clearly seen, being known from what he has made. So they are without any excuse.

riversident@Romans:1:21 @ For although they knew God they did not glorify him as God and did not give him thanks, but fell into futile speculations and their stupid hearts were darkened.

riversident@Romans:1:23 @ and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into images of mortal man, and of birds and beasts and reptiles.

riversident@Romans:1:25 @ They changed the truth of God into a lie, and reverenced and paid worship to the creature rather than to the Creator \'97 who is blessed forever, Amen!

riversident@Romans:1:27 @ and their males, leaving the natural use of the female, burned in their lust for one another, males with males practicing indecency and receiving in themselves the deserved penalty of their error.

riversident@Romans:1:28 @ And as they did not think fit to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them over to an abandoned mind, to do the things that are shameful,

riversident@Romans:1:30 @ slanderers, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

riversident@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you despise the wealth of his kindness and forbearance and long-suffering, not knowing that the kindness of God is calling you to a change of heart?

riversident@Romans:2:5 @ Are you with a hard and unrepentant heart treasuring for yourself wrath for the day of wrath and for the revelation of the just judgment of God?

riversident@Romans:2:7 @ To those who by constancy in good work seek for glory and honor and immortality he will award life eternal.

riversident@Romans:2:8 @ But to those of a partisan spirit who do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and hot anger.

riversident@Romans:2:9 @ Distress and crushing calamity will fall upon every human soul that works evil, upon the Jew first and also upon the Greek.

riversident@Romans:2:10 @ But glory and honor and peace will come to every one who works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

riversident@Romans:2:12 @ As many as have sinned without a law will perish without a law, and as many as have sinned under law will be judged by law

riversident@Romans:2:15 @ they show the requirements of the Law written in their hearts, since their conscience corroborates it and their thoughts argue in mutual accusation or in self-defense),

riversident@Romans:2:17 @ But if you bear the name of Jew and rely upon the Law, and make your boast in God

riversident@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will and are a judge of things that differ, because you have been taught out of the Law

riversident@Romans:2:19 @ and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness,

riversident@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of the unwise, a teacher of the simple, because you have the form of knowledge and of truth in the Law \'97

riversident@Romans:2:27 @ And the natural uncircumcision if it keeps the Law will judge you who with a written code and circumcision are still a law-breaker.

riversident@Romans:2:29 @ But he who is one secretly is a Jew, and circumcision is of the heart and in the spirit, not in the letter. His praise is not from men, but from God.

riversident@Romans:3:4 @ Never. Let God be true, but every man a liar, as it is written, "That thou mayest be proved right in thy words and triumph when thou art judged."

riversident@Romans:3:8 @ We are not going to say, as some people slanderously affirm that we say, "Let us do evil that good may come," are we? The condemnation of such people is just.

riversident@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Have we an advantage? Not at all. We have already brought the charge against both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin,

riversident@Romans:3:14 @ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness;

riversident@Romans:3:16 @ ruin and misery are in their paths.

riversident@Romans:3:19 @ We know that all that the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be shut and all the world may come under the condemnation of God.

riversident@Romans:3:21 @ But now, apart from law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, confirmed by the Law and the Prophets \'97

riversident@Romans:3:23 @ All have sinned and have come short of the glory of God.

riversident@Romans:3:26 @ for a manifestation at the present time of his righteousness, that he may himself be righteous and may accept as righteous him who has faith in Jesus.

riversident@Romans:3:30 @ if God is one and will pronounce the circumcision righteous by faith and the uncircumcision righteous through faith.

riversident@Romans:4:3 @ for what says the Scripture? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness."

riversident@Romans:4:7 @ "Blessed are they whose lawless acts have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered over.

riversident@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of faith that he had in uncircumcision, so that he should be the father of all who believe while uncircumcised, and righteousness should be credited to them;

riversident@Romans:4:12 @ and the father of the circumcised, that is, of those who are not only circumcised, but who walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while uncircumcised.

riversident@Romans:4:14 @ For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is emptied of value and the promise is nullified.

riversident@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore all depends on faith, that it may be of grace, and thus the promise be sure for all his descendants, not only those who are of the Law, but also those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of all of us

riversident@Romans:4:19 @ and without being weakened in faith he recognized his own body as dead, when he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

riversident@Romans:4:21 @ and was fully confident that what God had promised he was able to perform.

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:5:2 @ Through him we obtained entrance into this grace in which we stand and exult in hope of the glory of God.

riversident@Romans:5:4 @ and endurance develops a tested character, and a tested character develops hope,

riversident@Romans:5:5 @ and hope does not disappoint, for the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit granted to us.

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:5:13 @ for down to the time of the Law sin was in the world, and yet sin is not charged where there is no law;

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:5:21 @ in order that as sin reigned in death grace might reign through righteousness and issue in life eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord.

riversident@Romans:6:7 @ For one who has died has been pronounced righteous and free from sin.

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:6:18 @ You were made free from sin and made servants to 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:6:22 @ But now freed from sin and having become servants of God you have your fruit in holy living and its outcome, life eternal.

riversident@Romans:7:2 @ For a married woman is by law bound to her husband while he is living. But if the husband dies, she is freed from the law of her husband.

riversident@Romans:7:3 @ Therefore while her husband is living she is called an adulteress if she becomes another man's. But if her husband dies she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress when she becomes another man's.

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:7:10 @ and the commandment which meant life was found to mean death.

riversident@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me and by it killed me.

riversident@Romans:7:12 @ So the Law is holy and the commandment is holy and just and good.

riversident@Romans:7:15 @ For what I am doing I do not understand. For not what I choose is what I practice, but what I hate, this I do.

riversident@Romans:7:17 @ And now it is no longer I that do it, but the Sin that dwells in me.

riversident@Romans:7:23 @ but I see another law in my members, warring with the law of my mind and leading me captive under the law of sin which is in my members.

riversident@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the Law of sin and death.

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:8:6 @ Fleshly mindedness is death, but spiritual mindedness is life and peace.

riversident@Romans:8:17 @ And if children, we are also heirs \'97 heirs of God, joint heirs with Christ, since we suffer with him that we may also be glorified with him.

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:8:27 @ And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the holy according to the will of God.

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:8:34 @ 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:9:2 @ that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart.

riversident@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish myself to be accursed and cast away from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

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:9:5 @ whose are the fathers and from whom by physical descent the Christ came. God who is over all be blessed through the ages! Amen.

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:9:15 @ 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:9:17 @ 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:9:25 @ As also he says in Hosea, "Those who are not my people I will call my people, and her who has not been beloved I will call beloved,

riversident@Romans:9:26 @ and in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they shall be called sons of the living God."

riversident@Romans:9:27 @ Isaiah cried aloud regarding Israel, "Though the number of the sons of Israel is as the sand of the sea, only a remnant will be saved.

riversident@Romans:9:28 @ For the Lord will execute his sentence on the earth completely and speedily."

riversident@Romans:9:29 @ Even as Isaiah predicted, "Unless the Lord of armies had left us some descendants, we should have become like Sodom and should have been made to resemble Gomorrah."

riversident@Romans:10:1 @ BRETHREN, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.

riversident@Romans:10:3 @ For, ignorant of God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to God's righteousness.

riversident@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" \'97 that is, the word of faith which we are proclaiming,

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:10:12 @ 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:10:17 @ So then faith comes from the report and report comes through the word of Christ.

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:10:20 @ And Isaiah makes bold to say, "I was found by those who were not seeking me: I became manifest to those who were not inquiring for me."

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:11:7 @ What then? Israel has not found what it is seeking, but the chosen have found it. And the rest have been made dull,

riversident@Romans:11:8 @ as it is written, "God gave them a stupid spirit, eyes not for seeing and ears not for hearing until this day."

riversident@Romans:11:9 @ And David says, "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution.

riversident@Romans:11:10 @ Let their eyes be darkened so as not to see, and bow down their backs always."

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:11:16 @ If the first fruit was holy, so will the mass be; and if the root was holy, so will be the branches.

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:11:20 @ Certainly, for lack of faith they were broken off, and you are standing by faith. Do not be proud, but be afraid.

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:11:26 @ 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:11:27 @ And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins."

riversident@Romans:11:29 @ God never changes his mind about his gifts and his call.

riversident@Romans:11:33 @ O the depth of the wealth both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, how untraceable his ways!

riversident@Romans:11:36 @ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory through the ages! Amen.

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:12:4 @ 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: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:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good deeds, but to bad. Do you wish not to fear the authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from it.

riversident@Romans:13:9 @ For the commandments, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," "Thou shalt not commit murder," "Thou shalt not steal," "Thou shalt not covet," and any other that there may be, are summed up in this: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

riversident@Romans:13:13 @ Let us live becomingly as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in sensuality and licentiousness, not in quarrelling and jealousy.

riversident@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for gratifying physical passions.

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:14:4 @ Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls, and stand he will, for God is able to make him stand.

riversident@Romans:14:6 @ He who regards the day regards it to the Lord and he who eats eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God. And he who does not eat abstains for the Lord and gives thanks to God.

riversident@Romans:14:7 @ For no one of us is living for himself and no one dies for himself.

riversident@Romans:14:8 @ If we live we live for the Lord and if we die we die for the Lord. So whether we live or die we are the Lord's.

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

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:14:14 @ 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:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Romans:14:18 @ For he who thus serves Christ is pleasing to God and esteemed by men.

riversident@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore, let us seek for what makes for peace and our mutual upbuilding.

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:15:4 @ 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@Romans:15:5 @ May the God of patience and encouragement grant to you to have harmony with one another, in the manner of Christ Jesus,

riversident@Romans:15:6 @ so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:15:9 @ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy, as it is written, "For this will I confess thee among the Gentiles and sing to thy name."

riversident@Romans:15:10 @ And again Scripture says, "Rejoice, Gentiles, with his people."

riversident@Romans:15:11 @ And again, "Sing to the Lord, all Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him."

riversident@Romans:15:12 @ And again Isaiah says, "There will be a root of Jesse, and one who rises to rule Gentiles: in him Gentiles will hope."

riversident@Romans:15:13 @ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit!

riversident@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not venture to speak except of what Christ has done through me to promote obedience of Gentiles, by word and deed,

riversident@Romans:15:19 @ through the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that from Jerusalem around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the good news of Christ,

riversident@Romans:15:21 @ but as it is written, "They who have had no message of him shall see and they who have not heard shall understand."

riversident@Romans:15:23 @ But now having no more territory in these regions and having for many years had a strong desire to come to you

riversident@Romans:15:24 @ while making a journey to Spain, I hope to see you as I pass through and to be furthered on my journey by you, after first partially satisfying my desire of being with you.

riversident@Romans:15:26 @ For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the holy in Jerusalem.

riversident@Romans:15:27 @ They have been pleased to do this and indeed they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared their things of the spirit, they owe them sacred service in things of the body.

riversident@Romans:15:28 @ So after completing this and sealing to them this fruit, I shall come away and pass by you to Spain.

riversident@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you it will be in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

riversident@Romans:15:30 @ I beg you, brethren, for the sake of our Lord Jesus and the love of the Spirit to join me in wrestling in prayer to God on my behalf,

riversident@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judaea and that my service in Jerusalem may be pleasing to the holy,

riversident@Romans:15:32 @ that I may come to you with joy by the will of God and be refreshed with you.

riversident@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the holy, and help her in any matter in which she may need you. For she has been a provider for many, myself included.

riversident@Romans:16:3 @ Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

riversident@Romans:16:7 @ Give my greetings to Andronicus and Junias, men of my race and my companions in prison, who are eminent among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

riversident@Romans:16:9 @ Give my greetings to Urbanus our fellow worker in Christ, and to Stachys my beloved.

riversident@Romans:16:12 @ Give my greetings to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, those workers in the Lord. Give my greetings to Persis the beloved, who has worked hard in the Lord.

riversident@Romans:16:13 @ Give my greetings to Rufus the chosen in the Lord, and to his mother and mine.

riversident@Romans:16:14 @ Give my greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Petrobas, Hermas, and the brethren with them.

riversident@Romans:16:15 @ Give my greetings to Philologus, and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the holy with them.

riversident@Romans:16:17 @ I beg you, brethren, to keep your eye on those who are making divisions and occasions for sin contrary to the teaching which you have learned, and to shun them.

riversident@Romans:16:18 @ For such persons are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own stomachs, and by their smooth and pleasing talk they mislead the hearts of the innocent.

riversident@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has come to the knowledge of all men. Therefore I rejoice over you, but I wish you to be wise regarding what is good, and simple in regard to what is evil.

riversident@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, sends his greeting, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, who are of my race.

riversident@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, sends his greetings. Erastus the city treasurer sends his greetings, and so does Quartus the brother.

riversident@Romans:16:25 @ To him who is able to make you strong according to the good news which I bear, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, and according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret through ages,

riversident@Romans:16:26 @ but now made manifest through the prophetic Scriptures by the command of the eternal God, to promote obedience to the faith made known to all the Gentiles \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:1:1 @ PAUL called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and Sosthenes our brother,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the Church of God in Corinth, made holy in Christ Jesus, called to be holy, with all everywhere who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

riversident@1Corinthians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ!

riversident@1Corinthians:1:5 @ that you are rich in him in everything, in readiness of speech and in all knowledge,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:7 @ and so that you are not lacking in any gift while waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, and it is by him that you have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:10 @ I beg you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, all to say the same thing and not to have divisions among you, but to be united in the same mind and in the same opinion.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I am thankful that I baptized no one of you except Crispus and Gaius,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and I will bring to nought the prudence of the prudent."

riversident@1Corinthians:1:22 @ Jews ask for signs and Greeks seek for wisdom,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:25 @ For God's foolishness is wiser than men and God's weakness is stronger than men.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the strong,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and God has chosen the low-born things and the things of no account, the things that are not, to defeat the things that are,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:30 @ By God's act you are in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom from God and righteousness and holiness and deliverance,

riversident@1Corinthians:2:1 @ AND I in coming to you, brethren, did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I determined to know nothing among you but Jesus Christ \'97 and him crucified.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:3 @ And I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling,

riversident@1Corinthians:2:4 @ and my speech and my proclamation were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but with spiritual and powerful proof,

riversident@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But as it is written, "What eye has not seen and what ear has not heard and what has not entered human mind, God has prepared for those who love him."

riversident@1Corinthians:2:13 @ And these we speak of, not in words taught by man's wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual things in spiritual words.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:15 @ But the spiritual man understands all things though he himself is understood by no one.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:1 @ AND I myself, brethren, could not speak to you as spiritual, but as fleshly, as babes in Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:3 @ For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly and living in man's way?

riversident@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apollos," are you not men?

riversident@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God granted to me, as a wise master-builder I have laid a foundation and another is building on it. But let each be careful how he builds on it.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:13 @ every one's work will become manifest. For the day will show it, because it will be revealed in fire and the fire will test each one's work, of what quality it is.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If the work which any one has built stands he will get a reward.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Do you not know that you are God's temple and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

riversident@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If any one mars the temple of God, God will mar him, for the temple of God is holy, and you are the temple.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:20 @ and again, "The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise to be futile."

riversident@1Corinthians:3:23 @ and you are Christ's and Christ is God's.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:1 @ LET a man view us as servants of Christ and stewards of God's mysteries.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:5 @ So do not judge anything before the time, before the Lord comes. He will throw light on the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the purposes of hearts. Then each one will have his praise from God.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:6 @ All this, brethren, I have applied to myself and Apollos for your sake, that you may learn the maxim, "Nothing beyond what is written," and may not be puffed up in partisanship for one against the other.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For it seems to me that God has set us apostles out last of all as men doomed to death, that we may be a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:11 @ Up to this present hour we are hungry and thirsty and naked and beaten. We wander about

riversident@1Corinthians:4:12 @ and labor, working with our own hands. When abused we bless, when persecuted we endure it,

riversident@1Corinthians:4:13 @ when slandered we entreat. We have come to be, as it were, the sweepings of the world, the riffraff of all things up to now.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For if you have ten thousand teachers in Christ, still you have not many fathers. For I was your father in Christ Jesus through the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this very purpose I have sent to you Timothy, who is my loved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ \'97 how I teach everywhere in every church.

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:4:21 @ Which do you wish? Shall I come with a rod or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

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:5:4 @ When you assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit was also present with the power of our Lord Jesus,

riversident@1Corinthians:5:8 @ So let us keep the festival, not with the old yeast nor with the yeast of evil and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:6:8 @ But you yourselves practice wrongs and frauds \'97 and that upon your brethren.

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:6:14 @ God raised the Lord and will also raise us through his power.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?

riversident@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because of the prevailing unchastity, let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let the husband pay his wife conjugal dues and the wife her husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife has not power over her own body, but her husband has. In the same way the husband has not power over his own body, but his wife has.

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:7:6 @ I say this by way of indulgence, not by way of command.

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:7:8 @ I say to the unmarried and the widows, it is excellent for them to remain as I do.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:10 @ To the married I command \'97 yet not I, but the Lord \'97 that the wife is not to leave her husband

riversident@1Corinthians:7:12 @ To the rest I say \'97 not the Lord: If any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is pleased to live with him, let him not put her away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And if any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever and he is pleased to live with her, let her not put him away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband has been made holy by the wife and the unbelieving wife has been made holy by the husband. Otherwise your children would be impure, but now they are holy.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:16 @ For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?

riversident@1Corinthians:7:19 @ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God is all.

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:7:28 @ But even if you marry, you have not sinned. Even if a maiden marries, she has not sinned. But such will have trouble in the flesh, and I would spare you.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:30 @ and those who weep as if they wept not, and those who rejoice as if they rejoiced not, and those who buy as if they possessed nothing,

riversident@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use the world as if not overusing it. For the present order of this world is passing away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:34 @ and his interest is divided. So the unmarried woman or the maiden is anxious about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about the things of the world \'97 how she may please her husband.

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:7:37 @ He who stands firm in his heart, having no necessity, and has power over his own will and has decided in his heart to keep his virgin, will do well.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So he who marries his virgin does well, and he who does not marry her will do better.

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:8:4 @ 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:8:12 @ So sinning against the brethren and wounding their weak consciences you sin against Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:13 @ Therefore if food makes my brother stumble I will not eat meat while the world stands, for fear of making my brother stumble.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:4 @ Have we not the right to eat and drink?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Have we not the right to take about with us a sister as wife, as the rest of the apostles do and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

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:9:10 @ or does he say this wholly for our sakes? For our sakes; for it was written because the plowman ought to plow in hope and the thresher ought to thresh in hope of having a share.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who do the work of the Temple eat the things that come from the Temple, and those who minister at the altar share with the altar?

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:9:18 @ What then is my reward? That in telling the good news I make the good news free, and do not take full advantage of my rights in the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those without law, I became as without law, though not without the law of God and under the law of Christ, to gain those who are without law.

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:10:1 @ I DO not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea

riversident@1Corinthians:10:2 @ and all received baptism in the cloud and in the sea,

riversident@1Corinthians:10:3 @ and all ate the same spiritual food

riversident@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Be not idolaters, as some of them were, as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to dance."

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:10:9 @ Nor let us try the patience of the Lord, as some of them tried him and were destroyed by serpents.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:10 @ Nor murmur, as some of them murmured and perished by the destroyer.

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:10:12 @ So let him who thinks that he is standing beware of falling.

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:10:20 @ 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:10:26 @ For "the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof."

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: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:11:3 @ I wish you to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

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:11:7 @ For a man has no need to cover his head since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of man.

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:11:21 @ 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:11:24 @ and when he had given thanks he broke it and said,

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

riversident@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:28 @ But let a man examine himself and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

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: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:12:5 @ And there are varieties of service, but the same Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:6 @ And there are varieties of products, but the same God who produces all things in all.

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:12:15 @ 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:12:21 @ And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," or the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."

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:12:26 @ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if a member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:27 @ You are the body of Christ and individually members.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:31 @ Seek earnestly for the greater gifts; and yet I will show you a way that surpasses all.

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:13:2 @ And if I have the power of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:3 @ And if I distribute all that I have to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:9 @ For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

riversident@1Corinthians:13:13 @ But now faith, hope, love \'97 these three \'97 endure. And the greatest of these is love.

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:14:3 @ But he who prophesies speaks to men what will build up, encourage, and comfort.

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:14:11 @ If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a barbarian to him who is speaking, and he will be a barbarian to me.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:12 @ And so you, since you are eager for spiritual gifts, seek to abound in what will build up the church.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:14:15 @ What then? I will pray with the spirit and with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit and with the understanding.

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:14:21 @ In the Law it is written, "By men of strange speech and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, and not even thus will they listen to me, says the Lord."

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:14:27 @ 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:14:28 @ If there is no interpreter, let the man keep silent in church and let him speak to himself and to God.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:29 @ Of the prophets let two or three speak and let the others reflect.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:14:35 @ If they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home. For it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.

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:14:39 @ 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:15:1 @ LET me recall to your minds, brethren, the good news which I announced to you and which you accepted, in which also you stand,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:4 @ and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles and am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not without result, but I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:11 @ Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you believed.

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:15:15 @ And we are found false witnesses of God because we testified regarding God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise if the dead are not raised.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:17 @ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then will be the end when he delivers up the kingship to God his Father, when he has defeated every archangel and authority and power.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:30 @ And why do we run risks every hour?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I die every day, I swear it by the boast I make of you and which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If, humanly speaking, I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what is my gain? If the dead do not rise, "let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die."

riversident@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Return to soberness and cease to sin, for some are ignorant of God. I say it to your shame.

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:15:37 @ And what you sow is not the body that will come, but a mere grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it a body as he has pleased, and to each kind of seed a body of its own.

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:15:48 @ As is the earthly man such are also those who are earthly, and as is the heavenly man such are also those who are heavenly.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:49 @ And as we have borne the image of the earthly man, we shall bear the image of the heavenly man.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:50 @ But I say this, brethren, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor will decay inherit imperishability.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:15:53 @ For this perishable must clothe itself with imperishability, and this mortal must clothe itself with immortality.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:54 @ When this perishable has clothed itself with imperishability and this mortal has clothed itself with immortality, then will come to pass the word that is written, "Death has been swallowed up in victory.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of loving kindness and the God of all encouragement,

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:1:10 @ He delivered us from such a death and will deliver, and we have hope in him that he will go on delivering,

riversident@2Corinthians:1:12 @ 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:1:13 @ For we are not writing to you anything but what you read and acknowledge and I hope you will acknowledge to the end,

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:1:17 @ When I was intending this, did I show fickleness? Or do I plan what I plan according to the flesh, so that I may say yes, yes, and no, no?

riversident@2Corinthians:1:18 @ As God is faithful, my word to you is not yes and no.

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:1:21 @ It is God who makes us and you steadfast to Christ, and has anointed us

riversident@2Corinthians:1:22 @ and sealed us and has given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:24 @ Not that we are lords over your faith, but fellow workers sharing your joy, for you are standing firm in the faith.

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:2:7 @ so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and encourage him, that such a one may not be swallowed up in excessive grief.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:10 @ To whomever you forgive anything I also forgive it, and what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it was for your sake in the sight of Christ,

riversident@2Corinthians:2:12 @ When I came to Troas for the good news of Christ and a door had been opened for me in the Lord,

riversident@2Corinthians:2:14 @ Thanks be to God who always leads us in his triumph in Christ and spreads through us the sweet odor of the knowledge of him in every place.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are for God a sweet odor of Christ \'97 in the saved and in the perishing.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:16 @ To the latter an odor from death to death, to the former an odor from life to life. And who is competent for this?

riversident@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,

riversident@2Corinthians:3:13 @ and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel might not see when the vanishing glory ended;

riversident@2Corinthians:3:17 @ The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:18 @ And we all, with unveiled face, reflecting the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same likeness from glory to glory as by the Spirit of the Lord.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we are not proclaiming ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen jars, that the surpassing power may be God's and not ours \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:4:13 @ Having the same spirit of faith, as it is written, "I believed, therefore I spoke," we too believe and therefore speak,

riversident@2Corinthians:4:14 @ knowing that he who raised up Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus and place us in his presence with you.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For our momentary and light distress is working out for us a far surpassing and eternal weight of glory

riversident@2Corinthians:5:1 @ FOR we know that if this tent, our earthly home, is thrown down, we have a building of God, a home not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:5 @ He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, and he has given to us the pledge of the Spirit.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:6 @ So being always of good courage and knowing that while living at home in the body we are living in a foreign land away from the Lord \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:5:8 @ I say we are of good courage and wish rather to live in the land foreign to the body and be at home with the Lord.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:9 @ Therefore also we are ambitious to be pleasing to him, whether at home with him or in this foreign land.

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:5:13 @ For if we were out of our minds it was for God, and if we are sane it is for you.

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:5:18 @ 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: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:6:7 @ 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:6:9 @ as unknown yet well known, as dying and yet we are living, as chastised yet not put to death,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:11 @ Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians, our heart expands itself.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:13 @ As a fair return, I am speaking as to my children, let your hearts expand.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be yoked up, like unmatched animals, with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness,

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:6:17 @ Therefore come out from the midst of them and be separate, says the Lord, and do not touch an unclean thing, and I will receive you

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:7:7 @ 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:7:15 @ 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:8:2 @ that in a great trial of distress their abundant joy and their deep poverty have abounded in the wealth of their liberality.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For according to their ability, I bear witness, and beyond their ability, of their own accord,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:5 @ and this not as we had hoped, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us through the will of God.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But as you excel in every way, in faith and speech and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the love you learned from us, be sure to excel in this grace also.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I speak not by way of command, but testing the genuineness of your love by the earnestness of others.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:13 @ I do not mean that others shall have relief and you shall have trouble,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:15 @ as it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing over and he who gathered little had no lack."

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:8:22 @ 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:8:24 @ Show them in the sight of the churches your love and the ground of our boasting to them about you.

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:9:6 @ Remember this, he who sows sparingly will reap sparingly and he who sows bountifully will reap bountifully.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:10 @ He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and make abundant your seed and will increase the fruits of your righteousness.

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: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:10:5 @ 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:10:8 @ For if I boast somewhat excessively of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for pulling you down, I shall not be ashamed.

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:10:12 @ 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:11:3 @ But I fear that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts may be led away from sincerity and purity toward Christ.

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:11:12 @ But what I am doing I shall do so as to cut away all ground of attack from those who wish ground, and that in what they boast of they may be found just like us.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder, for Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light.

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:11:25 @ 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:11:27 @ in toil and labor, in many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:29 @ Who is weak and I am not weak? Who stumbles and I am not burning?

riversident@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows, he who is blessed forever, that I am not lying.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:33 @ and through a window I was lowered in a basket and escaped from his hands.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I MUST boast, though it is unprofitable. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:4 @ that he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for man to speak.

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:12:12 @ The signs of an apostle were performed among you in all patience by miracles and wonders and deeds of power.

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:12:15 @ And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you too much, am I loved the less?

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:13:4 @ He was crucified in weakness, but he is living by the power of God. And we are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God for 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:13:6 @ I hope that you know that we are not unable to stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:7 @ I pray to God that you may do nothing evil, not in order that we may seem to stand the test, but in order that you may do the right, though we should seem unable to 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:13:11 @ 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:13:14 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

riversident@Galatians:1:1 @ PAUL an apostle \'97 not from men or through men, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead \'97

riversident@Galatians:1:2 @ and all the brethren with me, to the churches of Galatia:

riversident@Galatians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present wicked world according to the will of our God and Father!

riversident@Galatians:1:7 @ though it is not another good news. But there are some who are perplexing you and wishing to pervert the good news of Christ.

riversident@Galatians:1:13 @ You have heard of my former life in Judaism, that I furiously persecuted the church of God and made havoc of it,

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:1:15 @ But when he who had appointed me when I was in my mother's womb, and had called me by his grace,

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:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and came back to Damascus.

riversident@Galatians:1:18 @ Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter and stayed with him fifteen days.

riversident@Galatians:1:21 @ Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

riversident@Galatians:1:24 @ and they glorified God on my account.

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:2:3 @ But even Titus, who was with me and was a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised,

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:2:9 @ 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:2:12 @ 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:2:13 @ And the rest of the Jews practiced the same hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas was led off with them in their hypocrisy.

riversident@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not walking straight according to the truth of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you who are a Jew are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

riversident@Galatians:2:15 @ We who are Jews by nature and not sinners of the Gentiles,

riversident@Galatians:2:16 @ knowing that a man is not declared righteous because of works of law, but through faith in Christ Jesus, we also have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be declared righteous because of faith in Christ, and not because of works of law, for because of works of law no human being will be declared righteous.

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:3:5 @ 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:3:6 @ just as Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him for righteousness?

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:3:16 @ 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:3:17 @ I mean this, a covenant ratified by God, the Law that came four hundred and thirty years afterward does not annul, so as to defeat the 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:3:29 @ If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to the promise.

riversident@Galatians:4:2 @ But he is under guardians and managers until the day appointed by the 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:4:14 @ 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:4:18 @ 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:4:26 @ 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:5:1 @ STAND firm, therefore, in the freedom with which Christ set us free, and do not wear any yoke of slavery.

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:5:21 @ envyings, drinking bouts, revelries, and the like. Of these I tell you beforehand, as I have already told you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

riversident@Galatians:5:24 @ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its emotions and passions.

riversident@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.

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:6:11 @ See with what great letters I write with my own hand.

riversident@Galatians:6:14 @ But let me never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified to me and I to the world.

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:1:2 @ Grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

riversident@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly heights in Christ,

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:1:8 @ which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding.

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:1:13 @ In him you also, after hearing the message of the truth, the good news of your salvation, and putting your faith in him, were sealed by the promised Holy Spirit,

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:1:17 @ 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:1:18 @ enlightening the eyes of your heart, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the glorious wealth of his inheritance in the holy,

riversident@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what the surpassing greatness of his power toward us who believe according to the inworking of his vast might,

riversident@Ephesians:1:20 @ which he put forth in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him sit at his own right hand in the heavenly heights,

riversident@Ephesians:1:21 @ far above every archangel and authority and power and lordship and every name that is named not only in this world but also in the world to come.

riversident@Ephesians:1:22 @ He put all things under his feet and placed him as head over all for the church,

riversident@Ephesians:2:1 @ YOU also God raised to life when you were dead in misdeeds and sins

riversident@Ephesians:2:3 @ Among these we all lived once in the passions of our flesh and of our thoughts, and we were by nature children of wrath like the rest.

riversident@Ephesians:2:6 @ and raised us up with him and made us sit with him in the heavenly heights in Christ Jesus,

riversident@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

riversident@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his work, formed in Christ Jesus for good works in which God had prepared beforehand to have us live.

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:2:14 @ 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:2:16 @ and in order to reconcile both in one body to God through his cross, by slaying the enmity by it.

riversident@Ephesians:2:17 @ And he came and brought the good news of peace to you who were far and peace to those who were near.

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:3:4 @ In reading that letter you can learn my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

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@Philippians:1:2 @ Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Philippians:1:7 @ So it is right for me to think of you all, because you have me in your hearts, and in my chains and in my defense and in establishing the good news you are all sharers in my privilege.

riversident@Philippians:1:9 @ And this is my prayer that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and all insight,

riversident@Philippians:1:10 @ so that you may discriminate between the things that differ, that you may be pure and blameless in the day of Christ,

riversident@Philippians:1:11 @ filled with the fruit of knowledge through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

riversident@Philippians:1:13 @ so that my chains have become well known as for Christ to the whole Praetorian Guard and to all the rest,

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:1:15 @ Some indeed proclaim Christ because of envy and rivalry, some also because of good will.

riversident@Philippians:1:18 @ What then? Still in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed and in that I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

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:1:23 @ I am under pressure both ways, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for it is far better,

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:2:11 @ 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:2:13 @ For it is God who is working in you both the willing and the doing because of his kindness.

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:2:28 @ I send him the more readily that you may see him and rejoice again and I be less sorrowful.

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:3:3 @ 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:3:8 @ Yes, I count all to be loss because of the surpassing worth of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ

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:3:13 @ 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:3:17 @ Unite in imitating me, brethren, and watch those who are living according to our example.

riversident@Philippians:3:18 @ For many are living as I used often to tell you and now say even weeping that they are enemies of the cross of Christ.

riversident@Philippians:3:20 @ For the state of which we are citizens is in the heavens and from there we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Philippians:4:1 @ SO, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, beloved.

riversident@Philippians:4:2 @ I beg Euodia and I beg Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

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:4:6 @ Do not worry, but in everything by prayer and entreaty with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

riversident@Philippians:4:7 @ And the peace of God which passes all understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:4:9 @ What you learned and accepted and heard and saw in me \'97 practice that. And the God of peace will be with you.

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:4:18 @ I have enough of everything and more than enough. I am fully supplied since receiving from Epaphroditus the things from you, a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

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:1:8 @ and who has told us of your love in the Spirit.

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:1:10 @ and that you may live lives worthy of the Lord and please him in every way. May you bear fruit in every good work and grow in the knowledge of God.

riversident@Colossians:1:11 @ May you be strengthened with all strength according to his glorious power, so as to have all patience and endurance.

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:1:16 @ 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:1:17 @ and he is before all things and in him all things unite.

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:1:22 @ by his body of flesh through death, to present you holy and spotless and blameless before him,

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:1:26 @ the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now made plain to his holy ones,

riversident@Colossians:1:28 @ And we are announcing him, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom in order that we may present every man complete in Christ.

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:2:10 @ and you have been filled in him. He is the head of every archangel and authority.

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:2:12 @ You were buried with him in baptism and raised again through faith in the inworking of God who raised him from the dead.

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:2:18 @ 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:2:19 @ and not holding to the Head, from whom the whole body, supplied and held together by joints and bands, grows as God gives it growth.

riversident@Colossians:2:21 @ "Do not touch," "Do not taste," "Do not handle"

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:3:1 @ IF then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.

riversident@Colossians:3:2 @ Have your minds on the things above and not on the things on the earth.

riversident@Colossians:3:3 @ For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

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:3:10 @ and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed into knowledge in the image of its Creator.

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:3:16 @ 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:3:17 @ And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

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:4:13 @ I bear witness to the burden that he carries for you and for those in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis.

riversident@Colossians:4:14 @ Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas send you their greetings.

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:1:10 @ 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:2:2 @ 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:2:9 @ 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:2:15 @ 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: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:3:4 @ 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: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:4:6 @ 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:4:10 @ 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:4:14 @ 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:4:16 @ 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:5:1 @ BUT regarding times and dates, brethren, you do not need to have me write to you.

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:5:5 @ 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:5:7 @ For those who sleep sleep in the night and those who drink drink in the night.

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@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, as indeed you are doing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ We beg you, brethren, to regard those who are laboring among you and who preside over you in the Lord and give you counsel,

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ and to esteem them very highly in love on account of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ Take care that no one repays evil with evil, but always seek eagerly what is good in dealing with one another and with every one.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ May the God of peace himself make you completely holy, and may your spirits and souls and bodies be kept faultless and blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ He is faithful who calls you and he will do it.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ PAUL and Silvanus and Timothy to the Church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

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:1:7 @ 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:1:11 @ To this end we are always praying for you that our God will make you worthy of the call, and will by his power bring to completion every one of your kind purposes and works of faith,

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:2:6 @ And now you know what is restraining him until he is revealed at his appointed time.

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:2:13 @ 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:2:15 @ 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:2:16 @ May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal encouragement and good hope through grace,

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:3:8 @ 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:3:10 @ 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:3:14 @ 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:3:17 @ The greeting of Paul by my own hand, which is the sign in every letter. This is my handwriting.

riversident@1Timothy:1:1 @ PAUL, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the appointment of God, our Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope,

riversident@1Timothy:1:2 @ to Timothy my true child in faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

riversident@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I begged you to stay in Ephesus when I was leaving for Macedonia, that you might charge some not to teach new and strange doctrines

riversident@1Timothy:1:4 @ nor give attention to myths and endless genealogies, which promote disputes rather than God's plan in the faith, so I beg you now.

riversident@1Timothy:1:5 @ The aim of the commandment is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

riversident@1Timothy:1:7 @ wishing to be teachers of the Law, but not understanding either what they are saying or what the things are that they are so positive about.

riversident@1Timothy:1:9 @ But we know this: that law is not laid down for a righteous man, but for the lawless and the insubordinate, the ungodly and sinners, the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

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:1:12 @ I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has given me strength, because he thought me faithful and put me into his service,

riversident@1Timothy:1:13 @ though before that I spoke profanely and was a persecutor and insolent in outrages. But I received mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

riversident@1Timothy:1:14 @ And the grace of our Lord overflowed in me with faith and love in Christ Jesus.

riversident@1Timothy:1:15 @ The saying is trust-worthy and deserving of full acceptance that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners," of whom I am the foremost.

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:1:18 @ This command I lay down for you, my child Timothy, in accordance with the prophecies that came in advance regarding you, in order that armed with them you may wage the noble war,

riversident@1Timothy:1:19 @ holding to faith and a good conscience, which some have cast aside and thus made shipwreck of their faith.

riversident@1Timothy:1:20 @ Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, that they may learn not to speak profanely.

riversident@1Timothy:2:1 @ I BEG, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, supplications, and thanksgivings be made in behalf of all men,

riversident@1Timothy:2:2 @ in behalf of kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all piety and sobriety.

riversident@1Timothy:2:3 @ This is excellent and pleasing in the sight of God, our Savior,

riversident@1Timothy:2:4 @ who wishes all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

riversident@1Timothy:2:5 @ For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,

riversident@1Timothy:2:7 @ To this I was appointed a herald and an apostle \'97 I am telling the truth, I am not lying \'97 a teacher of Gentiles in faith and truth.

riversident@1Timothy:2:8 @ I wish, then, that the men offer prayer in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath or debate.

riversident@1Timothy:2:9 @ Also that the women adorn themselves in becoming dress modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothes,

riversident@1Timothy:2:14 @ And Adam was not deceived; the woman was deceived and fell into sin.

riversident@1Timothy:2:15 @ But they will be saved through child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with self-control.

riversident@1Timothy:3:10 @ They must first be tested, and then let them fill the office of deacon if there is nothing against them.

riversident@1Timothy:3:11 @ Women, in the same way, must be dignified, not slanderers, temperate, trustworthy in everything.

riversident@1Timothy:3:12 @ Deacons must be men true to one woman, presiding well over their children and their own houses.

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:3:15 @ but so that if I am delayed you may know how people should conduct themselves in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth.

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:4:2 @ through the hypocrisy of men who teach falsely, branded in their own consciences,

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:4:4 @ For everything made by God is excellent and nothing is to be rejected if taken with thanksgiving.

riversident@1Timothy:4:5 @ For it is made holy through God's message and through prayer.

riversident@1Timothy:4:6 @ In teaching this to the brethren you will be a noble servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith and of the excellent teaching which you have followed.

riversident@1Timothy:4:7 @ But avoid profane and old-womanish myths. Exercise yourself in godliness.

riversident@1Timothy:4:8 @ Bodily exercise is useful to a small degree, but godliness is useful for everything. "It has the promise of the present life and of the life that is to come."

riversident@1Timothy:4:9 @ This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance.

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:4:11 @ Command and teach these things.

riversident@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you through prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

riversident@1Timothy:4:16 @ Be thoughtful about yourself and your teaching. Persevere in this; for in doing so you will save yourself and those who hear you.

riversident@1Timothy:5:2 @ the older women as mothers and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.

riversident@1Timothy:5:4 @ If any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to act piously toward their own family and to repay what they owe to their parents and grandparents. For this is pleasing in the sight of God.

riversident@1Timothy:5:5 @ A real widow who is left alone has set her hope on God and devotes herself to prayers and supplications night and day.

riversident@1Timothy:5:7 @ Give these commands that they may be free from reproach.

riversident@1Timothy:5:8 @ If any one does not provide for his own, and especially those of his own household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

riversident@1Timothy:5:9 @ A widow is to be put on the list if she has reached the age of not less than sixty years, if she has been true to one husband,

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:5:16 @ If any woman who is a believer has widows, she must provide for them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may provide for those who are really widows.

riversident@1Timothy:5:17 @ The elders who preside well should be thought worthy of double salary, especially those who labor in speaking and teaching.

riversident@1Timothy:5:18 @ For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle the ox while he is treading out the grain," and

riversident@1Timothy:5:21 @ I charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the chosen angels to observe these directions without prejudice, doing nothing through partiality.

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:5:25 @ Just so noble deeds are conspicuous and those that are otherwise cannot be hid.

riversident@1Timothy:6:1 @ ALL who are slaves under the yoke must regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be profanely slandered.

riversident@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who have believing masters must not despise them because they are brothers, but rather work as slaves for them because those who are benefited by their good work are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these things.

riversident@1Timothy:6:3 @ If any one teaches otherwise and does not agree to wholesome words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to religious teaching,

riversident@1Timothy:6:4 @ he is conceited, knowing nothing, but morbidly fond of disputes and controversies from which come envy, strife, abusive language, wicked suspicions,

riversident@1Timothy:6:5 @ and wranglings of men of depraved minds who are destitute of the truth. They think of religion as a source of gain.

riversident@1Timothy:6:7 @ For we brought nothing into the world and we cannot carry anything out.

riversident@1Timothy:6:8 @ If we have food and clothing we will be content with these.

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@1Timothy:6:14 @ to keep the commandment stainless and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@1Timothy:6:15 @ which in due time he will show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

riversident@1Timothy:6:16 @ who alone has immortality, who dwells in light unapproachable, whom no man has seen or can see. To him be honor and power eternal! Amen.

riversident@1Timothy:6:17 @ Command those who are rich in this world not to be haughty nor to fix their hope on uncertain wealth, but on God who provides all things richly for our enjoyment.

riversident@1Timothy:6:20 @ O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, turning away from profane and empty talk and contradictions of what is falsely called "knowledge."

riversident@2Timothy:1:2 @ to Timothy my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

riversident@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God whom, I serve, following in the steps of my forefathers, with a pure conscience, while I constantly mention you in my prayers night and day,

riversident@2Timothy:1:4 @ remembering your tears and longing to see you, that I may be filled with joy.

riversident@2Timothy:1:5 @ I remember the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and I am confident that it lives in you also.

riversident@2Timothy:1:6 @ For this reason let me remind you to kindle anew the gift of God that is in you by the laying on of my hands.

riversident@2Timothy:1:7 @ For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control.

riversident@2Timothy:1:9 @ It is he who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our deeds but according to his own purpose and grace, given to us in Christ Jesus ages ago

riversident@2Timothy:1:10 @ but now manifested by the appearance of our Savior Christ Jesus, who has defeated death and brought to light life and immortality by the good news.

riversident@2Timothy:1:11 @ For this I was made a herald and an apostle and a teacher,

riversident@2Timothy:1:12 @ and for this reason I am suffering these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have put my faith, and am confident that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.

riversident@2Timothy:1:13 @ Hold to the example of wholesome words which you heard from me in faith and love in Christ Jesus.

riversident@2Timothy:1:15 @ You know that all of those in Asia have deserted me. Among them are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

riversident@2Timothy:1:16 @ The Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chain;

riversident@2Timothy:1:17 @ but when he came to Rome he looked me up eagerly and found me.

riversident@2Timothy:1:18 @ The Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day! And in how many ways he served me in Ephesus you know better still.

riversident@2Timothy:2:2 @ and the things you heard from me, which came through many witnesses, you must commit to trustworthy men who will be able to teach others also.

riversident@2Timothy:2:5 @ And if any one enters an athletic contest, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

riversident@2Timothy:2:15 @ Be earnest in presenting yourself to God as a tested man, a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, rightly handling the message of truth.

riversident@2Timothy:2:16 @ But shun profane and empty talk. It will grow into greater impiety,

riversident@2Timothy:2:17 @ and its teachings will spread like a gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort.

riversident@2Timothy:2:18 @ They have gone astray as to the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they are overthrowing the faith of some.

riversident@2Timothy:2:19 @ However, God's solid foundation stands, with this inscription, "The Lord knows his own," and, "Let every one who names the Lord's name turn from wickedness."

riversident@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a great house there are not only utensils of gold and silver, but also of wood and earthenware, and some are for honorable and others for dishonorable uses.

riversident@2Timothy:2:22 @ But flee the passions of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, in the company of those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

riversident@2Timothy:2:24 @ and the servant of the Lord must not quarrel, but be courteous to all, skillful in teaching, forbearing,

riversident@2Timothy:3:3 @ without family affection, relentless, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,

riversident@2Timothy:3:6 @ For of this class are those who make their way into houses and take captive weak women loaded with sins, led by varying passions,

riversident@2Timothy:3:7 @ always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

riversident@2Timothy:3:8 @ Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men oppose the truth, depraved in mind, proved to be worthless as regards the faith.

riversident@2Timothy:3:9 @ But they will go no further, for their folly will be manifest to all as that of Jannes and Jambres became.

riversident@2Timothy:3:12 @ And all who are determined to live religiously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

riversident@2Timothy:3:13 @ Wicked men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

riversident@2Timothy:4:2 @ proclaim the message, be at it in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, encourage, with all patience in teaching.

riversident@2Timothy:4:3 @ For there will be a time when they will not endure wholesome teaching, but following their own fancies and wishing to have their ears tickled, they will get a crowd of teachers.

riversident@2Timothy:4:4 @ They will turn their ears away from the truth and give attention to myths.

riversident@2Timothy:4:6 @ For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is near.

riversident@2Timothy:4:7 @ I have played the grand hard game, I have finished my race, I have kept the faith.

riversident@2Timothy:4:8 @ Now the crown of righteousness is awaiting me. The Lord the righteous judge will give it to me on that day, and not only to me but to all those who have loved his appearing.

riversident@2Timothy:4:10 @ For Demas deserted me because he loved the present world and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

riversident@2Timothy:4:11 @ Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me in service.

riversident@2Timothy:4:13 @ When you come, bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, and particularly the parchments.

riversident@2Timothy:4:14 @ Alexander the coppersmith showed much ill will toward me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

riversident@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me so that through me the proclamation might be fully published and all the Gentiles might hear it, and I was saved from the mouth of the lion.

riversident@2Timothy:4:18 @ The Lord will rescue me from every wicked attack and will keep me safe for his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@2Timothy:4:19 @ Give my greetings to Prises and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus.

riversident@Titus:3:7 @ that we might be declared righteous by his grace and become heirs with the hope of life eternal."

riversident@Titus:3:8 @ That is a trustworthy saying. I wish you to insist on these things so that those who have put their faith in God may give earnest attention to honorable work. These things are honorable and also useful to men.

riversident@Philemon:1:8 @ Therefore, though I might have great boldness in Christ to command you what is fitting,

riversident@Philemon:1:9 @ I beg you rather for love's sake, as Paul the old man and now the prisoner of Christ Jesus \'97

riversident@Philemon:1:11 @ who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.

riversident@Philemon:1:16 @ no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

riversident@Philemon:1:19 @ I, Paul, write it with my own hand. I will pay it \'97 not to mention to you that you owe me your own self besides.

riversident@Philemon:1:21 @ I am writing to you confident of your obedience and knowing that you will do more than I say.

riversident@Philemon:1:24 @ and Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers, send you their greetings.

riversident@Hebrews:1:1 @ MANY times and in many ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets;

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:1:6 @ And again when he brings his first-born into the world of men he says, "And let all the angels of God bow down to him."

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:1:10 @ And, "Thou, in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth, and the heavens are works of thy hands.

riversident@Hebrews:1:12 @ and like a mantle thou wilt roll them up. But thou art the same and thy years will never end."

riversident@Hebrews:1:13 @ To which of the angels did he ever say, "Sit at my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool"?

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:2:7 @ 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:2:13 @ and again, "I will trust in him," and again, "Here am I and the children whom God has given me."

riversident@Hebrews:2:14 @ Since then the children share in blood and flesh, he himself in the same way shared in them, in order that through death he might defeat him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil,

riversident@Hebrews:2:15 @ and set free all those who through fear of death were all their lives doomed to slavery.

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:3:6 @ 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:3:9 @ when your fathers put me to a test and saw my deeds for forty years.

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: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:4:5 @ and in this place again, "They shall not enter into my rest."

riversident@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since, then, it remains for some to enter into it, and those who first received the good news did not enter because of lack of faith \'97

riversident@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, and it pierces until it divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and it judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

riversident@Hebrews:4:13 @ There is not a creature invisible to him, but all things are naked and defenseless before the eyes of him to whom we must account.

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:5:2 @ He is able to sympathize with the ignorant and the erring, since he himself is beset with weaknesses.

riversident@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no one takes this honor upon himself unless called by God, as Aaron was.

riversident@Hebrews:5:6 @ and who says in another place, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

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:5:9 @ and being thus made perfect he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

riversident@Hebrews:5:10 @ and was proclaimed by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

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:5:14 @ But solid food is for adults who through practice have their senses exercised in distinguishing good and bad.

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:6:5 @ and have tasted God's word and the powers of the coming world,

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:6:8 @ but if it bears thorns and thistles it is judged worthless and is near to being cursed. In the end it will be burnt over.

riversident@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love that you have shown to his name as you have served and are still serving the holy.

riversident@Hebrews:6:12 @ that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.

riversident@Hebrews:6:14 @ saying, "Surely, I will greatly bless you and greatly multiply you."

riversident@Hebrews:6:15 @ And so after patient waiting Abraham obtained what was promised.

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:6:19 @ We have this hope as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, and it enters into the tent within the curtain

riversident@Hebrews:7:1 @ FOR, this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham when he was returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,

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:7:5 @ 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:7:9 @ And, to put it frankly, Levi, who receives the tenths, was made to pay a tenth through Abraham.

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:7:14 @ For it is plain that our Lord has arisen from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

riversident@Hebrews:7:15 @ And this is yet more abundantly evident if after the order of Melchizedek there arises a priest of a different kind

riversident@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has become such, not according to the law of a commandment made for the flesh, but according to the power of unending life.

riversident@Hebrews:7:18 @ There is a setting aside of the earlier commandment because of its weakness and uselessness \'97

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:7:20 @ And just as it was not without an oath \'97

riversident@Hebrews:7:21 @ for those men have become priests without an oath, but he with an oath from him who said to him, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: thou art a priest forever" \'97

riversident@Hebrews:7:23 @ And many of them became priests because they were prevented by death from continuing,

riversident@Hebrews:7:25 @ And so he is able to save perfectly those who come to God through him, since he is forever living to intercede for them.

riversident@Hebrews:7:26 @ For such was the High Priest that we needed, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.

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: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:8:2 @ and who ministers in the holy place and in the true Tent set up by the Lord, not by man.

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:8:5 @ 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:8:8 @ But finding fault with it he says, "The days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah a new covenant,

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:9:4 @ 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:9:7 @ 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:9:8 @ The Holy Spirit shows this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been made plain while the first Tent is standing.

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:9:13 @ For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the defiled, makes them holy as regards purity of their flesh,

riversident@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a last will and testament the death of the testator must be put in evidence.

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:9:20 @ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded for you."

riversident@Hebrews:9:21 @ And the Tent and all the things used in worship he likewise sprinkled with blood.

riversident@Hebrews:9:22 @ Almost everything is cleansed with blood, according to the Law, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

riversident@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ did not enter into a holy place made by hands, a copy of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God in our behalf.

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:10:4 @ For the blood of bulls and goats is powerless to take away 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:10:6 @ Whole burnt offerings and sin offerings thou dost not delight in.

riversident@Hebrews:10:8 @ He first says, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin offerings thou dost not desire nor delight in," such as are offered according to the Law,

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:10:11 @ Every priest stands daily doing service and offering many times the same sacrifices, although they never can take away sins.

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:10:16 @ "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:10:17 @ "and their sins and their law-breakings I will remember no more."

riversident@Hebrews:10:20 @ by the new and living way which he has made for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,

riversident@Hebrews:10:21 @ and since we have a great Priest over the house of God,

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:10:24 @ 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:10:29 @ 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:10:30 @ For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people."

riversident@Hebrews:10:31 @ It is dreadful to fall into the hands of the living God.

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:10:37 @ For yet "a little, very little, while, and he who is coming will come and will not delay.

riversident@Hebrews:10:39 @ But we are not of those who shrink back and perish, but of those who have faith and will win their souls.

riversident@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the worlds came into order at the word of God, so that what is now seen did not come out of things that are visible.

riversident@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, for which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God testifying to his gifts, and by it, though dead, he still speaks.

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:11:6 @ But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must have faith that he exists and that he becomes the rewarder of those who seek him.

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:11:8 @ By faith Abraham when called obeyed and came out into the place which he was to obtain for an inheritance. He came out not knowing where he was coming.

riversident@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he made his home in the promised land as in a foreign country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.

riversident@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he was looking for the city that has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

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:11:14 @ For those who say such things make it plain that they are seeking a fatherland.

riversident@Hebrews:11:15 @ And if they had been thinking of that land from which they came they would have had opportunity to return.

riversident@Hebrews:11:16 @ But now they desire a better land, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them \'97 of being called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.

riversident@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham when he was tested offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises began offering his only son

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:11:20 @ By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau and spoke of things to come.

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:11:26 @ and he thought the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. For he was looking to the final reward.

riversident@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the destroyer might not touch their first-born.

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@Hebrews:11:33 @ who through faith struggled against kingdoms and subdued them, did deeds of righteousness, obtained promised blessings, shut the mouths of lions,

riversident@Hebrews:11:36 @ Still others had experience of mockings and floggings, yes, of chains and prisons.

riversident@Hebrews:11:38 @ The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in caves and in holes in the earth.

riversident@Hebrews:12:1 @ THEREFORE, surrounded as we are by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that lies before us,

riversident@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking to Jesus the beginner and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured a cross, thinking little of the shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

riversident@James:2:19 @ You have faith that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons have that faith, and they shudder.

riversident@James:2:22 @ You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was made perfect

riversident@James:2:23 @ and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him for righteousness" and he was called "God's friend."

riversident@James:2:24 @ You see that a man is pronounced righteous because of works and not because of faith alone.

riversident@James:2:25 @ In the same way was not Rahab, the prostitute, pronounced righteous because of works when she had received the messengers and sent them out by a different road?

riversident@James:3:4 @ See the ships; great as they are and driven by violent winds, they are turned about by a very small rudder wherever the desire of the helmsman chooses.

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: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:4:4 @ You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever chooses to be a friend to the world stands as an enemy of God.

riversident@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.

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:4:17 @ 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:5:2 @ Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten,

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:5:5 @ You have lived luxuriously in the land and have given yourselves up to pleasure. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

riversident@James:5:7 @ Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the ground and is patient over it until he receives the early and the late rains.

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:5:14 @ 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:5:15 @ The prayer of faith will save the sick and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins they will be forgiven him.

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:5:18 @ Then he prayed again and heaven gave rain and the land brought forth its fruits.

riversident@James:5:19 @ My brethren, if one of you strays from the truth and any one brings him back,

riversident@James:5:20 @ I wish you to know that he who brings back a sinner from his wanderings will save his soul from death and will hide a host of sins.

riversident@2Peter:1:2 @ Grace be to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

riversident@2Peter:1:3 @ Since his divine power has given us all things helpful to life and piety through the knowledge of him who has called us by his own glory and virtue,

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:1:7 @ and to your reverence brotherliness, and to your brotherliness love.

riversident@2Peter:1:9 @ But he who lacks these is blind, dim-sighted, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.

riversident@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore endeavor more earnestly, brethren, to make sure that you have been called and chosen. For while doing these things you will never stumble.

riversident@2Peter:1:11 @ For so entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you.

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:1:16 @ For we were not following cunningly devised myths when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty.

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: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:2:2 @ Many will follow their shameless ways and by these the path of truth will be profanely spoken of.

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:2:4 @ For if God did not spare angels that had sinned, but thrust them down to Tartarus and committed them to pits of darkness to be kept for judgment,

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:2:10 @ 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:2:11 @ even where angels greater in strength and power do not bring against them an insulting charge before the Lord.

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:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they have been again entangled and overcome, their last state has become worse than the first.

riversident@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment that has been committed to them.

riversident@2Peter:2:22 @ That has happened to them which the true proverb says, "The dog returns to his own vomit and the sow after bathing returns to wallowing in the mire."

riversident@2Peter:3:5 @ For they willfully forget that there were heavens of old and an earth formed out of water and through water by God's word.

riversident@2Peter:3:6 @ By these means the world that then was was flooded with water and destroyed.

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:3:10 @ 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:3:12 @ you who are looking for and hastening toward the coming of the day of God, when the blazing heavens will be dissolved and the burning elements melted?

riversident@2Peter:3:13 @ But according to his promise we are expecting new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness will dwell.

riversident@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, since you expect this, endeavor earnestly to be found by him in peace, spotless and faultless,

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:3:16 @ So he writes in all his letters when speaking in them of these things. In those letters are some things hard to understand, and these the unlearned and unsteady twist, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own ruin.

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:2:10 @ He who loves his brother remains in the light and there is no stumbling block in him.

riversident@1John:2:11 @ He who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and knows not where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

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: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:4:6 @ We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us: whoever is not of God does not listen to us. In this way we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

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:4:10 @ 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:4:12 @ 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:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has imparted to us of his Spirit.

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:4:16 @ We have come to know and have put our trust in the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God and God remains in him.

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:4:21 @ This command we have from him, that he who loves God shall love his brother also.

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:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commands.

riversident@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God, our keeping his commands. And his commands are not burden-some,

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:5:6 @ 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:5:8 @ For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are in accord.

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:5:15 @ And if we know that he hears us when we ask anything, we know that we obtain the things that we have asked of him.

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:5:17 @ All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin that is not deadly.

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:1:2 @ for the sake of the truth which remains in us and will be with us forever:

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:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children living in truth, as we received command from the Father.

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:1:6 @ This is love: to live by his commands. This is the command, as you heard from the beginning that you must live by it.

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:1:2 @ Beloved, I pray that in everything you may prosper and be in health, just as your soul now prospers.

riversident@3John:1:3 @ For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified to your truth \'97 that you are living in the truth.

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:1:10 @ Therefore, if I come I will bring to mind the works that he is doing, accusing us with wicked words, and not satisfied with that, neither does he receive the brethren, and he hinders those who wish to do so and expels them from the church.

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@3John:1:13 @ I had much to write to you, but I will not write to you with ink and pen.

riversident@3John:1:14 @ But I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends send greetings to you. Greet the friends by name.

riversident@Jude:1:1 @ JUDE, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, to those who are in God the Father, beloved, kept for Jesus Christ and called:

riversident@Jude:1:2 @ Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.

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:1:6 @ and angels who did not keep their own rank, but left their own abode, he has kept for the judgment of the great day in everlasting chains under blackness of darkness.

riversident@Jude:1:7 @ So Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, which in the same way gave themselves up to unchastity and the pursuit of unnatural vices, serve as an example while they undergo the punishment of eternal fire.

riversident@Jude:1:8 @ Just so these dreamers defile the flesh, reject government, and speak abusively of glorious beings.

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:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea foaming out their own shame, wandering stars for which the blackness of darkness is reserved forever.

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:1:19 @ These are those who cause divisions, sensual and unspiritual.

riversident@Jude:1:20 @ But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

riversident@Jude:1:23 @ pull them out of the fire and save them. Others pity with fear, hating even the tunic spotted by the flesh.

riversident@Jude:1:24 @ To him who is able to guard you from falling and to make you stand faultless before his glory in great joy,

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.
