nasb@Romans:1:1 @Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,

nasb@Romans:1:2 @which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures,

nasb@Romans:1:3 @concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh,

nasb@Romans:1:4 @who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord,

nasb@Romans:1:5 @through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name's sake,

nasb@Romans:1:6 @among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;

nasb@Romans:1:7 @to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints- Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Romans:1:8 @First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world.

nasb@Romans:1:9 @For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the preaching of the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how unceasingly I make mention of you,

nasb@Romans:1:10 @always in my prayers making request, if perhaps now at last by the will of God I may succeed in coming to you.

nasb@Romans:1:11 @For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established;

nasb@Romans:1:12 @that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.

nasb@Romans:1:13 @I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that often I have planned to come to you (and have been prevented so far) so that I may obtain some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

nasb@Romans:1:14 @I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

nasb@Romans:1:15 @So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

nasb@Romans:1:16 @For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

nasb@Romans:1:17 @For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, " BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."

nasb@Romans:1:18 @For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

nasb@Romans:1:19 @because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.

nasb@Romans:1:20 @For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

nasb@Romans:1:21 @For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

nasb@Romans:1:22 @Professing to be wise, they became fools,

nasb@Romans:1:23 @and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

nasb@Romans:1:24 @Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.

nasb@Romans:1:25 @For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:1:26 @For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,

nasb@Romans:1:27 @and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

nasb@Romans:1:28 @And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,

nasb@Romans:1:29 @being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips,

nasb@Romans:1:32 @and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

nasb@Romans:2:1 @Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

nasb@Romans:2:2 @And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things.

nasb@Romans:2:3 @But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?

nasb@Romans:2:4 @Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

nasb@Romans:2:5 @But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

nasb@Romans:2:8 @but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.

nasb@Romans:2:9 @There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,

nasb@Romans:2:10 @but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

nasb@Romans:2:11 @For there is no partiality with God.

nasb@Romans:2:12 @For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law;

nasb@Romans:2:13 @for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

nasb@Romans:2:14 @For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves,

nasb@Romans:2:15 @in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,

nasb@Romans:2:16 @on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.

nasb@Romans:2:17 @But if you bear the name "Jew" and rely upon the Law and boast in God,

nasb@Romans:2:18 @and know His will and approve the things that are essential, being instructed out of the Law,

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

nasb@Romans:2:20 @a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth,

nasb@Romans:2:21 @you, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that one shall not steal, do you steal?

nasb@Romans:2:23 @You who boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor God?

nasb@Romans:2:24 @For " THE NAME OF GOD IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE GENTILES BECAUSE OF YOU," just as it is written.

nasb@Romans:2:25 @For indeed circumcision is of value if you practice the Law; but if you are a transgressor of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

nasb@Romans:2:26 @So if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

nasb@Romans:2:27 @And he who is physically uncircumcised, if he keeps the Law, will he not judge you who though having the letter of the Law and circumcision are a transgressor of the Law?

nasb@Romans:2:28 @For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.

nasb@Romans:2:29 @But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.

nasb@Romans:3:1 @Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision?

nasb@Romans:3:2 @Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

nasb@Romans:3:3 @What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?

nasb@Romans:3:4 @May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, " THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED."

nasb@Romans:3:5 @But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? ( I am speaking in human terms.)

nasb@Romans:3:6 @May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?

nasb@Romans:3:7 @But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner?

nasb@Romans:3:8 @And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), " Let us do evil that good may come"? Their condemnation is just.

nasb@Romans:3:9 @What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;

nasb@Romans:3:10 @as it is written, " THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;

nasb@Romans:3:11 @THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;

nasb@Romans:3:12 @ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE."

nasb@Romans:3:13" @ THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE, WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING," " THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS";

nasb@Romans:3:15" @ THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD,

nasb@Romans:3:16 @DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS,

nasb@Romans:3:17 @AND THE PATH OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN."

nasb@Romans:3:18" @ THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES."

nasb@Romans:3:19 @Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God;

nasb@Romans:3:20 @because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

nasb@Romans:3:21 @But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,

nasb@Romans:3:22 @even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction;

nasb@Romans:3:23 @for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

nasb@Romans:3:24 @being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;

nasb@Romans:3:25 @whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;

nasb@Romans:3:26 @for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

nasb@Romans:3:27 @Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

nasb@Romans:3:28 @For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.

nasb@Romans:3:29 @Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

nasb@Romans:3:30 @since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.

nasb@Romans:3:31 @Do we then nullify the Law through faithNULL May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.

nasb@Romans:4:1 @What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found?

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

nasb@Romans:4:3 @For what does the Scripture say? " ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."

nasb@Romans:4:4 @Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due.

nasb@Romans:4:5 @But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,

nasb@Romans:4:6 @just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works-

nasb@Romans:4:8" @ BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT."

nasb@Romans:4:9 @Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, " FAITH WAS CREDITED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."

nasb@Romans:4:10 @How then was it credited? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised;

nasb@Romans:4:11 @and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them,

nasb@Romans:4:12 @and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.

nasb@Romans:4:13 @For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

nasb@Romans:4:14 @For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified;

nasb@Romans:4:15 @for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no violation.

nasb@Romans:4:16 @For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

nasb@Romans:4:17 @(as it is written, " A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS HAVE I MADE YOU") in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.

nasb@Romans:4:18 @In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, " SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE."

nasb@Romans:4:19 @Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb;

nasb@Romans:4:20 @yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God,

nasb@Romans:4:21 @and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.

nasb@Romans:4:22 @Therefore IT WAS ALSO CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.

nasb@Romans:4:24 @but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

nasb@Romans:4:25 @He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.

nasb@Romans:5:1 @Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@Romans:5:2 @through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.

nasb@Romans:5:5 @and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

nasb@Romans:5:6 @For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

nasb@Romans:5:7 @For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.

nasb@Romans:5:9 @Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

nasb@Romans:5:10 @For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

nasb@Romans:5:11 @And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

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

nasb@Romans:5:13 @for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

nasb@Romans:5:14 @Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

nasb@Romans:5:15 @But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

nasb@Romans:5:16 @The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.

nasb@Romans:5:17 @For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

nasb@Romans:5:18 @So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.

nasb@Romans:5:19 @For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.

nasb@Romans:5:20 @The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

nasb@Romans:6:1 @What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?

nasb@Romans:6:4 @Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.

nasb@Romans:6:5 @For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,

nasb@Romans:6:7 @for he who has died is freed from sin.

nasb@Romans:6:9 @knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him.

nasb@Romans:6:10 @For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

nasb@Romans:6:12 @Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,

nasb@Romans:6:13 @and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

nasb@Romans:6:15 @What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

nasb@Romans:6:16 @Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?

nasb@Romans:6:17 @But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed,

nasb@Romans:6:19 @I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.

nasb@Romans:6:20 @For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

nasb@Romans:6:21 @Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death.

nasb@Romans:6:22 @But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.

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

nasb@Romans:7:1 @Or do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives?

nasb@Romans:7:2 @For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.

nasb@Romans:7:3 @So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.

nasb@Romans:7:4 @Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.

nasb@Romans:7:5 @For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.

nasb@Romans:7:6 @But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

nasb@Romans:7:7 @What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, " YOU SHALL NOT COVET."

nasb@Romans:7:8 @But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.

nasb@Romans:7:9 @I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died;

nasb@Romans:7:11 @for sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.

nasb@Romans:7:12 @So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

nasb@Romans:7:13 @Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? May it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

nasb@Romans:7:14 @For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin.

nasb@Romans:7:15 @For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.

nasb@Romans:7:16 @But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good.

nasb@Romans:7:17 @So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

nasb@Romans:7:18 @For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.

nasb@Romans:7:19 @For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.

nasb@Romans:7:20 @But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

nasb@Romans:7:21 @I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.

nasb@Romans:7:22 @For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man,

nasb@Romans:7:23 @but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.

nasb@Romans:7:24 @Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?

nasb@Romans:7:25 @Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

nasb@Romans:8:1 @Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Romans:8:2 @For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

nasb@Romans:8:3 @For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did- sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

nasb@Romans:8:4 @so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

nasb@Romans:8:5 @For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

nasb@Romans:8:6 @For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

nasb@Romans:8:7 @because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,

nasb@Romans:8:8 @and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

nasb@Romans:8:9 @However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

nasb@Romans:8:10 @If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

nasb@Romans:8:11 @But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

nasb@Romans:8:12 @So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh--

nasb@Romans:8:13 @for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

nasb@Romans:8:14 @For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

nasb@Romans:8:15 @For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, " Abba! Father!"

nasb@Romans:8:16 @The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,

nasb@Romans:8:17 @and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

nasb@Romans:8:18 @For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

nasb@Romans:8:19 @For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.

nasb@Romans:8:20 @For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope

nasb@Romans:8:21 @that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

nasb@Romans:8:22 @For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

nasb@Romans:8:23 @And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

nasb@Romans:8:24 @For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?

nasb@Romans:8:26 @In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;

nasb@Romans:8:27 @and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

nasb@Romans:8:28 @And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

nasb@Romans:8:29 @For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

nasb@Romans:8:30 @and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.

nasb@Romans:8:31 @What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

nasb@Romans:8:32 @He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

nasb@Romans:8:33 @Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies;

nasb@Romans:8:34 @who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

nasb@Romans:8:35 @Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

nasb@Romans:8:36 @Just as it is written, " FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED."

nasb@Romans:8:37 @But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

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

nasb@Romans:8:39 @nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

nasb@Romans:9:1 @I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Romans:9:2 @that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart.

nasb@Romans:9:3 @For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

nasb@Romans:9:4 @who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises,

nasb@Romans:9:5 @whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:9:6 @But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel;

nasb@Romans:9:7 @nor are they all children because they are Abraham's descendants, but- " THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL BE NAMED."

nasb@Romans:9:8 @That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.

nasb@Romans:9:9 @For this is the word of promise- " AT THIS TIME I WILL COME, AND SARAH SHALL HAVE A SON."

nasb@Romans:9:10 @And not only this, but there was Rebekah also, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac;

nasb@Romans:9:11 @for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls,

nasb@Romans:9:12 @it was said to her, " THE OLDER WILL SERVE THE YOUNGER."

nasb@Romans:9:14 @What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be!

nasb@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."

nasb@Romans:9:16 @So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.

nasb@Romans:9:17 @For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, " FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH."

nasb@Romans:9:18 @So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.

nasb@Romans:9:19 @You will say to me then, " Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?"

nasb@Romans:9:20 @On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it?

nasb@Romans:9:21 @Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use?

nasb@Romans:9:23 @And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,

nasb@Romans:9:24 @even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles.

nasb@Romans:9:25 @As He says also in Hosea, " I WILL CALL THOSE WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE, 'MY PEOPLE,' AND HER WHO WAS NOT BELOVED, 'BELOVED.'"

nasb@Romans:9:26" @ AND IT SHALL BE THAT IN THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID TO THEM, 'YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE,' THERE THEY SHALL BE CALLED SONS OF THE LIVING GOD."

nasb@Romans:9:27 @Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, " THOUGH THE NUMBER OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL BE LIKE THE SAND OF THE SEA, IT IS THE REMNANT THAT WILL BE SAVED;

nasb@Romans:9:28 @FOR THE LORD WILL EXECUTE HIS WORD ON THE EARTH, THOROUGHLY AND QUICKLY."

nasb@Romans:9:29 @And just as Isaiah foretold, " UNLESS THE LORD OF SABAOTH HAD LEFT TO US A POSTERITY, WE WOULD HAVE BECOME LIKE SODOM, AND WOULD HAVE RESEMBLED GOMORRAH."

nasb@Romans:9:30 @What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith;

nasb@Romans:9:32 @Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,

nasb@Romans:9:33 @just as it is written, " BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

nasb@Romans:10:1 @Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.

nasb@Romans:10:2 @For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.

nasb@Romans:10:3 @For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

nasb@Romans:10:4 @For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

nasb@Romans:10:5 @For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness.

nasb@Romans:10:6 @But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows- " DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, 'WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN?' (that is, to bring Christ down),

nasb@Romans:10:7 @or 'WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)."

nasb@Romans:10:8 @But what does it say? " THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,

nasb@Romans:10:9 @that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

nasb@Romans:10:10 @for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

nasb@Romans:10:11 @For the Scripture says, " WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

nasb@Romans:10:12 @For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;

nasb@Romans:10:13 @for " WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."

nasb@Romans:10:14 @How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?

nasb@Romans:10:15 @How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, " HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!"

nasb@Romans:10:16 @However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, " LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?"

nasb@Romans:10:17 @So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

nasb@Romans:10:18 @But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; " THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD."

nasb@Romans:10:19 @But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says, " I WILL MAKE YOU JEALOUS BY THAT WHICH IS NOT A NATION, BY A NATION WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WILL I ANGER YOU."

nasb@Romans:10:21 @But as for Israel He says, " ALL THE DAY LONG I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HANDS TO A DISOBEDIENT AND OBSTINATE PEOPLE."

nasb@Romans:11:1 @I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

nasb@Romans:11:2 @God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

nasb@Romans:11:3" @Lord, THEY HAVE KILLED YOUR PROPHETS, THEY HAVE TORN DOWN YOUR ALTARS, AND I ALONE AM LEFT, AND THEY ARE SEEKING MY LIFE."

nasb@Romans:11:4 @But what is the divine response to him? " I HAVE KEPT for Myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL."

nasb@Romans:11:5 @In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God's gracious choice.

nasb@Romans:11:6 @But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.

nasb@Romans:11:7 @What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened;

nasb@Romans:11:8 @just as it is written, " GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR, EYES TO SEE NOT AND EARS TO HEAR NOT, DOWN TO THIS VERY DAY."

nasb@Romans:11:9 @And David says, " LET THEIR TABLE BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP, AND A STUMBLING BLOCK AND A RETRIBUTION TO THEM.

nasb@Romans:11:10" @ LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED TO SEE NOT, AND BEND THEIR BACKS FOREVER."

nasb@Romans:11:11 @I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous.

nasb@Romans:11:12 @Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be!

nasb@Romans:11:13 @But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

nasb@Romans:11:14 @if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them.

nasb@Romans:11:15 @For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

nasb@Romans:11:16 @If the first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too.

nasb@Romans:11:17 @But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,

nasb@Romans:11:18 @do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.

nasb@Romans:11:19 @You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."

nasb@Romans:11:20 @Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;

nasb@Romans:11:21 @for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either.

nasb@Romans:11:22 @Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

nasb@Romans:11:23 @And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

nasb@Romans:11:24 @For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?

nasb@Romans:11:25 @For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

nasb@Romans:11:26 @and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, " THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."

nasb@Romans:11:27" @ THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS."

nasb@Romans:11:28 @From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers;

nasb@Romans:11:29 @for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

nasb@Romans:11:30 @For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience,

nasb@Romans:11:31 @so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy.

nasb@Romans:11:32 @For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.

nasb@Romans:11:33 @Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

nasb@Romans:11:34 @For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR?

nasb@Romans:11:36 @For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:12:1 @Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

nasb@Romans:12:2 @And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

nasb@Romans:12:3 @For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.

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

nasb@Romans:12:5 @so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

nasb@Romans:12:6 @Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly- if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith;

nasb@Romans:12:7 @if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching;

nasb@Romans:12:8 @or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

nasb@Romans:12:10 @Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor;

nasb@Romans:12:11 @not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;

nasb@Romans:12:13 @contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.

nasb@Romans:12:16 @Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

nasb@Romans:12:17 @Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men.

nasb@Romans:12:19 @Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, " VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord.

nasb@Romans:12:20" @ BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD."

nasb@Romans:13:1 @Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.

nasb@Romans:13:2 @Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.

nasb@Romans:13:3 @For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same;

nasb@Romans:13:4 @for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.

nasb@Romans:13:5 @Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

nasb@Romans:13:6 @For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing.

nasb@Romans:13:7 @Render to all what is due them- tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

nasb@Romans:13:8 @Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

nasb@Romans:13:9 @For this, " YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, " YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

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

nasb@Romans:13:11 @Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed.

nasb@Romans:13:12 @The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

nasb@Romans:13:13 @Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy.

nasb@Romans:13:14 @But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.

nasb@Romans:14:1 @Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.

nasb@Romans:14:2 @One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only.

nasb@Romans:14:3 @The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.

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

nasb@Romans:14:5 @One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.

nasb@Romans:14:6 @He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God.

nasb@Romans:14:8 @for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.

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

nasb@Romans:14:10 @But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

nasb@Romans:14:11 @For it is written, " AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD."

nasb@Romans:14:12 @So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God.

nasb@Romans:14:13 @Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this-- not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way.

nasb@Romans:14:14 @I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

nasb@Romans:14:15 @For if because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

nasb@Romans:14:16 @Therefore do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil;

nasb@Romans:14:17 @for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Romans:14:18 @For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.

nasb@Romans:14:19 @So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.

nasb@Romans:14:20 @Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense.

nasb@Romans:14:21 @It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles.

nasb@Romans:14:22 @The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

nasb@Romans:14:23 @But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.

nasb@Romans:15:1 @Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves.

nasb@Romans:15:3 @For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, " THE REPROACHES OF THOSE WHO REPROACHED YOU FELL ON ME."

nasb@Romans:15:4 @For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

nasb@Romans:15:5 @Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,

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

nasb@Romans:15:7 @Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.

nasb@Romans:15:8 @For I say that Christ has become a servant to the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God to confirm the promises given to the fathers,

nasb@Romans:15:9 @and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, " THEREFORE I WILL GIVE PRAISE TO YOU AMONG THE GENTILES, AND I WILL SING TO YOUR NAME."

nasb@Romans:15:10 @Again he says, " REJOICE, O GENTILES, WITH HIS PEOPLE."

nasb@Romans:15:11 @And again, " PRAISE THE LORD ALL YOU GENTILES, AND LET ALL THE PEOPLES PRAISE HIM."

nasb@Romans:15:12 @Again Isaiah says, " THERE SHALL COME THE ROOT OF JESSE, AND HE WHO ARISES TO RULE OVER THE GENTILES, IN HIM SHALL THE GENTILES HOPE."

nasb@Romans:15:13 @Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Romans:15:14 @And concerning you, my brethren, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able also to admonish one another.

nasb@Romans:15:15 @But I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from God,

nasb@Romans:15:16 @to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that my offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Romans:15:17 @Therefore in Christ Jesus I have found reason for boasting in things pertaining to God.

nasb@Romans:15:18 @For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,

nasb@Romans:15:19 @in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

nasb@Romans:15:20 @And thus I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build on another man's foundation;

nasb@Romans:15:21 @but as it is written, " THEY WHO HAD NO NEWS OF HIM SHALL SEE, AND THEY WHO HAVE NOT HEARD SHALL UNDERSTAND."

nasb@Romans:15:23 @but now, with no further place for me in these regions, and since I have had for many years a longing to come to you

nasb@Romans:15:24 @whenever I go to Spain--for I hope to see you in passing, and to be helped on my way there by you, when I have first enjoyed your company for a while--

nasb@Romans:15:25 @but now, I am going to Jerusalem serving the saints.

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

nasb@Romans:15:27 @Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things.

nasb@Romans:15:28 @Therefore, when I have finished this, and have put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will go on by way of you to Spain.

nasb@Romans:15:29 @I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

nasb@Romans:15:30 @Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

nasb@Romans:15:31 @that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the saints;

nasb@Romans:15:32 @so that I may come to you in joy by the will of God and find refreshing rest in your company.

nasb@Romans:15:33 @Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

nasb@Romans:16:1 @I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea;

nasb@Romans:16:2 @that you receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and that you help her in whatever matter she may have need of you; for she herself has also been a helper of many, and of myself as well.

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

nasb@Romans:16:5 @also greet the church that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first convert to Christ from Asia.

nasb@Romans:16:7 @Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

nasb@Romans:16:8 @Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.

nasb@Romans:16:10 @Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

nasb@Romans:16:11 @Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet those of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

nasb@Romans:16:12 @Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, workers in the Lord. Greet Persis the beloved, who has worked hard in the Lord.

nasb@Romans:16:13 @Greet Rufus, a choice man in the Lord, also his mother and mine.

nasb@Romans:16:14 @Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the brethren with them.

nasb@Romans:16:15 @Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

nasb@Romans:16:16 @Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.

nasb@Romans:16:17 @Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them.

nasb@Romans:16:18 @For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

nasb@Romans:16:19 @For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.

nasb@Romans:16:20 @The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

nasb@Romans:16:22 @I, Tertius, who write this letter, greet you in the Lord.

nasb@Romans:16:23 @Gaius, host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer greets you, and Quartus, the brother.

nasb@Romans:16:24 @[ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.]

nasb@Romans:16:25 @Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past,

nasb@Romans:16:26 @but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith;

nasb@Romans:16:27 @to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:1 @Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:2 @To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours-

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

nasb@1Corinthians:1:4 @I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:5 @that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:6 @even as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:7 @so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:8 @who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:10 @Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:11 @For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe's people, that there are quarrels among you.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:13 @Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

nasb@1Corinthians:1:16 @Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:17 @For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:18 @For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:19 @For it is written, " I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE."

nasb@1Corinthians:1:20 @Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

nasb@1Corinthians:1:21 @For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

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

nasb@1Corinthians:1:25 @Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:26 @For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

nasb@1Corinthians:1:27 @but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:28 @and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:31 @so that, just as it is written, " LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."

nasb@1Corinthians:2:1 @And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:4 @and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

nasb@1Corinthians:2:5 @so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:6 @Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away;

nasb@1Corinthians:2:7 @but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory;

nasb@1Corinthians:2:8 @the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;

nasb@1Corinthians:2:9 @but just as it is written, " THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM."

nasb@1Corinthians:2:10 @For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:11 @For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:12 @Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,

nasb@1Corinthians:2:13 @which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:14 @But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:15 @But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:16 @For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIMNULL But we have the mind of Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:3 @for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men?

nasb@1Corinthians:3:4 @For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men?

nasb@1Corinthians:3:5 @What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:6 @I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:7 @So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:8 @Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:10 @According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:11 @For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:12 @Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

nasb@1Corinthians:3:13 @each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:14 @If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:15 @If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

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

nasb@1Corinthians:3:17 @If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:18 @Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:19 @For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS";

nasb@1Corinthians:3:20 @and again, " THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS."

nasb@1Corinthians:3:21 @So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you,

nasb@1Corinthians:3:22 @whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you,

nasb@1Corinthians:4:1 @Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:4 @For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:5 @Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:6 @Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:9 @For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:10 @We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are prudent in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:11 @To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless;

nasb@1Corinthians:4:12 @and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;

nasb@1Corinthians:4:13 @when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:14 @I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:15 @For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:16 @Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:17 @For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:19 @But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those who are arrogant but their power.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:20 @For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:1 @It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:2 @You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:4 @In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

nasb@1Corinthians:5:5 @I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:6 @Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?

nasb@1Corinthians:5:7 @Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:8 @Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:10 @I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:11 @But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:12 @For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?

nasb@1Corinthians:5:13 @But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:1 @Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before the saints?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:2 @Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:4 @So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:5 @I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren,

nasb@1Corinthians:6:6 @but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:7 @Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:8 @On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your brethren.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:9 @Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,

nasb@1Corinthians:6:10 @nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:11 @Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:13 @Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:14 @Now God has not only raised the Lord, but will also raise us up through His power.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:15 @Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

nasb@1Corinthians:6:16 @Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, " THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH."

nasb@1Corinthians:6:17 @But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:18 @Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:19 @Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:20 @For you have been bought with a price- therefore glorify God in your body.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:1 @Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:2 @But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:3 @The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:4 @The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:5 @Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:7 @Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:8 @But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:9 @But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:10 @But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband

nasb@1Corinthians:7:11 @(but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:12 @But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:13 @And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:14 @For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:15 @Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace.

nasb@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?

nasb@1Corinthians:7:17 @Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:18 @Was any man called when he was already circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? He is not to be circumcised.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:19 @Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is the keeping of the commandments of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:20 @Each man must remain in that condition in which he was called.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:21 @Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:22 @For he who was called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lord's freedman; likewise he who was called while free, is Christ's slave.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:24 @Brethren, each one is to remain with God in that condition in which he was called.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:25 @Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:26 @I think then that this is good in view of the present distress, that it is good for a man to remain as he is.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:28 @But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:29 @But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none;

nasb@1Corinthians:7:30 @and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;

nasb@1Corinthians:7:31 @and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:32 @But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

nasb@1Corinthians:7:33 @but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,

nasb@1Corinthians:7:34 @and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:35 @This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:36 @But if any man thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin daughter, if she is past her youth, and if it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let her marry.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:37 @But he who stands firm in his heart, being under no constraint, but has authority over his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter, he will do well.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:38 @So then both he who gives his own virgin daughter in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage will do better.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:39 @A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband is dead, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:40 @But in my opinion she is happier if she remains as she is; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:2 @If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know;

nasb@1Corinthians:8:3 @but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:4 @Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:5 @For even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords,

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

nasb@1Corinthians:8:7 @However not all men have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:8 @But food will not commend us to God; we are neither the worse if we do not eat, nor the better if we do eat.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:9 @But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:10 @For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, dining in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

nasb@1Corinthians:8:11 @For through your knowledge he who is weak is ruined, the brother for whose sake Christ died.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:12 @And so, by sinning against the brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:13 @Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:1 @Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:2 @If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:5 @Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:7 @Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:8 @I am not speaking these things according to human judgment, am I? Or does not the Law also say these things?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:9 @For it is written in the Law of Moses, " YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING." God is not concerned about oxen, is He?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:10 @Or is He speaking altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the crops.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:12 @If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right, but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:13 @Do you not know that those who perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share from the altar?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:14 @So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:15 @But I have used none of these things. And I am not writing these things so that it will be done so in my case; for it would be better for me to die than have any man make my boast an empty one.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:16 @For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:18 @What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:20 @To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law;

nasb@1Corinthians:9:21 @to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:22 @To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:23 @I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:24 @Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:25 @Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:26 @Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air;

nasb@1Corinthians:9:27 @but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:1 @For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:2 @and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

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

nasb@1Corinthians:10:4 @and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:5 @Nevertheless, with most of them God was not well-pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:6 @Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they also craved.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:7 @Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, " THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK, AND STOOD UP TO PLAY."

nasb@1Corinthians:10:8 @Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:9 @Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:10 @Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:11 @Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:12 @Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:13 @No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:14 @Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:16 @Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:17 @Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:18 @Look at the nation Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:19 @What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:20 @No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons.

nasb@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.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:22 @Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:25 @Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience' sake;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:26 @FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND ALL IT CONTAINS.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:27 @If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience' sake.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:28 @But if anyone says to you, "This is meat sacrificed to idols," do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience' sake;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:29 @I mean not your own conscience, but the other man's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:31 @Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:32 @Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:33 @just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:2 @Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:3 @But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:4 @Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:5 @But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:6 @For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head.

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

nasb@1Corinthians:11:9 @for indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:10 @Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:11 @However, in the Lord, neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:12 @For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:13 @Judge for yourselves- is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

nasb@1Corinthians:11:15 @but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:16 @But if one is inclined to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor have the churches of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:17 @But in giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:18 @For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:19 @For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:20 @Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper,

nasb@1Corinthians:11:21 @for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:22 @What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:23 @For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;

nasb@1Corinthians:11:24 @and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

nasb@1Corinthians:11:25 @In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

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

nasb@1Corinthians:11:27 @Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:28 @But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:29 @For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:32 @But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.

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

nasb@1Corinthians:11:34 @If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:2 @You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the mute idols, however you were led.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:3 @Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed"; and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:4 @Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:5 @And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:6 @There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:7 @But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:8 @For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;

nasb@1Corinthians:12:9 @to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

nasb@1Corinthians:12:10 @and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:11 @But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:12 @For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.

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

nasb@1Corinthians:12:14 @For the body is not one member, but many.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:15 @If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:16 @And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:17 @If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?

nasb@1Corinthians:12:18 @But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:19 @If they were all one member, where would the body be?

nasb@1Corinthians:12:20 @But now there are many members, but one body.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:21 @And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; or again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."

nasb@1Corinthians:12:22 @On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;

nasb@1Corinthians:12:23 @and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,

nasb@1Corinthians:12:24 @whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked,

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

nasb@1Corinthians:12:26 @And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:28 @And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:29 @All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they?

nasb@1Corinthians:12:30 @All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?

nasb@1Corinthians:12:31 @But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:1 @If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:2 @If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

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

nasb@1Corinthians:13:6 @does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

nasb@1Corinthians:13:8 @Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:9 @For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

nasb@1Corinthians:13:10 @but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:11 @When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:12 @For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:13 @But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:1 @Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:2 @For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:3 @But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:4 @One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:5 @Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:6 @But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:7 @Yet even lifeless things, either flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:8 @For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:9 @So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:10 @There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:11 @If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be to the one who speaks a barbarian, and the one who speaks will be a barbarian to me.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:12 @So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:13 @Therefore let one who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:15 @What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:16 @Otherwise if you bless in the spirit only, how will the one who fills the place of the ungifted say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:17 @For you are giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not edified.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:19 @however, in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:21 @In the Law it is written, " BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME," says the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:22 @So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:23 @Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:24 @But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all;

nasb@1Corinthians:14:25 @the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:26 @What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:27 @If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret;

nasb@1Corinthians:14:28 @but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:29 @Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:30 @But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent.

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

nasb@1Corinthians:14:32 @and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets;

nasb@1Corinthians:14:33 @for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:34 @The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:35 @If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:36 @Was it from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it come to you only?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:37 @If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord's commandment.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:38 @But if anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:39 @Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:1 @Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,

nasb@1Corinthians:15:2 @by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:3 @For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

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

nasb@1Corinthians:15:5 @and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:6 @After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:7 @then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:8 @and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.

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

nasb@1Corinthians:15:10 @But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

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

nasb@1Corinthians:15:12 @Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

nasb@1Corinthians:15:13 @But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:14 @and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:15 @Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:16 @For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:18 @Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:20 @But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:21 @For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:23 @But each in his own order- Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming,

nasb@1Corinthians:15:24 @then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:25 @For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:26 @The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:27 @For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, " All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:28 @When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:29 @Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?

nasb@1Corinthians:15:31 @I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:32 @If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:35 @But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?"

nasb@1Corinthians:15:37 @and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:38 @But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:39 @All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:40 @There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.

nasb@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.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:42 @So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:44 @it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:45 @So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:46 @However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:47 @The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:48 @As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:49 @Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:50 @Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

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

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

nasb@1Corinthians:15:54 @But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, " DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:55" @ O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?"

nasb@1Corinthians:15:56 @The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:57 @but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

nasb@1Corinthians:16:1 @Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:2 @On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:3 @When I arrive, whomever you may approve, I will send them with letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem;

nasb@1Corinthians:16:4 @and if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:6 @and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:7 @For I do not wish to see you now just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:8 @But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost;

nasb@1Corinthians:16:9 @for a wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:10 @Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to be afraid, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I also am.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:11 @So let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:12 @But concerning Apollos our brother, I encouraged him greatly to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his desire to come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:13 @Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:15 @Now I urge you, brethren (you know the household of Stephanas, that they were the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves for ministry to the saints),

nasb@1Corinthians:16:16 @that you also be in subjection to such men and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:17 @I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:18 @For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:19 @The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:20 @All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:21 @The greeting is in my own hand--Paul.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:22 @If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be accursed. Maranatha.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:23 @The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God which is at Corinth with all the saints who are throughout Achaia-

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

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

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

nasb@2Corinthians:1:5 @For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:6 @But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:9 @indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:10 @who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,

nasb@2Corinthians:1:11 @you also joining in helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed on us through the prayers of many.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:12 @For our proud confidence is this- the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:13 @For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:14 @just as you also partially did understand us, that we are your reason to be proud as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:16 @that is, to pass your way into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be helped on my journey to Judea.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:17 @Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, so that with me there will be yes, yes and no, no at the same time?

nasb@2Corinthians:1:19 @For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us--by me and Silvanus and Timothy--was not yes and no, but is yes in Him.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:20 @For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:21 @Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

nasb@2Corinthians:1:22 @who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:2 @For if I cause you sorrow, who then makes me glad but the one whom I made sorrowful?

nasb@2Corinthians:2:3 @This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:4 @For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:5 @But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in some degree--in order not to say too much--to all of you.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:6 @Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority,

nasb@2Corinthians:2:7 @so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:8 @Wherefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:9 @For to this end also I wrote, so that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:10 @But one whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

nasb@2Corinthians:2:11 @so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:12 @Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,

nasb@2Corinthians:2:13 @I had no rest for my spirit, not finding Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I went on to Macedonia.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:14 @But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:16 @to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?

nasb@2Corinthians:2:17 @For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.

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

nasb@2Corinthians:3:3 @being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:6 @who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:7 @But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was,

nasb@2Corinthians:3:8 @how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?

nasb@2Corinthians:3:9 @For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:10 @For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:12 @Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech,

nasb@2Corinthians:3:13 @and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end of what was fading away.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:14 @But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:15 @But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart;

nasb@2Corinthians:3:16 @but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

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

nasb@2Corinthians:3:18 @But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:1 @Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart,

nasb@2Corinthians:4:2 @but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:4 @in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:6 @For God, who said, " Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:7 @But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;

nasb@2Corinthians:4:8 @we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;

nasb@2Corinthians:4:10 @always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:11 @For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:13 @But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, " I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE," we also believe, therefore we also speak,

nasb@2Corinthians:4:14 @knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:15 @For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:16 @Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:18 @while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:1 @For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:2 @For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven,

nasb@2Corinthians:5:4 @For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:5 @Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:6 @Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord--

nasb@2Corinthians:5:8 @we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:9 @Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:10 @For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:11 @Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:12 @We are not again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:14 @For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died;

nasb@2Corinthians:5:15 @and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:16 @Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:17 @Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:18 @Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,

nasb@2Corinthians:5:19 @namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:20 @Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:21 @He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:1 @And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain--

nasb@2Corinthians:6:2 @for He says, " AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU." Behold, now is "THE ACCEPTABLE TIME," behold, now is "THE DAY OF SALVATION"--

nasb@2Corinthians:6:3 @giving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:6 @in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:7 @in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:9 @as unknown yet well-known, as dying yet behold, we live; as punished yet not put to death,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:11 @Our mouth has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians, our heart is opened wide.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:14 @Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?

nasb@2Corinthians:6:16 @Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, " I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:17" @ Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE," says the Lord. "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:18" @ And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me," Says the Lord Almighty.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:1 @Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:2 @Make room for us in your hearts; we wronged no one, we corrupted no one, we took advantage of no one.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:3 @I do not speak to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live together.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:5 @For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side- conflicts without, fears within.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:6 @But God, who comforts the depressed, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

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

nasb@2Corinthians:7:9 @I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:10 @For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:11 @For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you- what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:12 @So although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the offender nor for the sake of the one offended, but that your earnestness on our behalf might be made known to you in the sight of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:13 @For this reason we have been comforted. And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:14 @For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting before Titus proved to be the truth.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:15 @His affection abounds all the more toward you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:1 @Now, brethren, we wish to make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia,

nasb@2Corinthians:8:2 @that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:3 @For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave of their own accord,

nasb@2Corinthians:8:4 @begging us with much urging for the favor of participation in the support of the saints,

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

nasb@2Corinthians:8:6 @So we urged Titus that as he had previously made a beginning, so he would also complete in you this gracious work as well.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:7 @But just as you abound in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the love we inspired in you, see that you abound in this gracious work also.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:8 @I am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity of your love also.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:9 @For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:10 @I give my opinion in this matter, for this is to your advantage, who were the first to begin a year ago not only to do this, but also to desire to do it.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:11 @But now finish doing it also, so that just as there was the readiness to desire it, so there may be also the completion of it by your ability.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:12 @For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:13 @For this is not for the ease of others and for your affliction, but by way of equality--

nasb@2Corinthians:8:14 @at this present time your abundance being a supply for their need, so that their abundance also may become a supply for your need, that there may be equality;

nasb@2Corinthians:8:15 @as it is written, " HE WHO gathered MUCH DID NOT HAVE TOO MUCH, AND HE WHO gathered LITTLE HAD NO LACK."

nasb@2Corinthians:8:16 @But thanks be to God who puts the same earnestness on your behalf in the heart of Titus.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:17 @For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest, he has gone to you of his own accord.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:18 @We have sent along with him the brother whose fame in the things of the gospel has spread through all the churches;

nasb@2Corinthians:8:19 @and not only this, but he has also been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work, which is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our readiness,

nasb@2Corinthians:8:21 @for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:22 @We have sent with them our brother, whom we have often tested and found diligent in many things, but now even more diligent because of his great confidence in you.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:23 @As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:24 @Therefore openly before the churches, show them the proof of your love and of our reason for boasting about you.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:1 @For it is superfluous for me to write to you about this ministry to the saints;

nasb@2Corinthians:9:2 @for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the Macedonians, namely, that Achaia has been prepared since last year, and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:3 @But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made empty in this case, so that, as I was saying, you may be prepared;

nasb@2Corinthians:9:4 @otherwise if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we--not to speak of you--will be put to shame by this confidence.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:5 @So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren that they would go on ahead to you and arrange beforehand your previously promised bountiful gift, so that the same would be ready as a bountiful gift and not affected by covetousness.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:6 @Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:7 @Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:9 @as it is written, " HE SCATTERED ABROAD, HE GAVE TO THE POOR, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ENDURES FOREVER."

nasb@2Corinthians:9:10 @Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness;

nasb@2Corinthians:9:11 @you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:12 @For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:13 @Because of the proof given by this ministry, they will glorify God for your obedience to your confession of the gospel of Christ and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all,

nasb@2Corinthians:9:14 @while they also, by prayer on your behalf, yearn for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:1 @Now I, Paul, myself urge you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--I who am meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent!

nasb@2Corinthians:10:2 @I ask that when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I propose to be courageous against some, who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:3 @For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:4 @for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:5 @We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:6 @and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:7 @You are looking at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also are we.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:8 @For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be put to shame,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:10 @For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his personal presence is unimpressive and his speech contemptible."

nasb@2Corinthians:10:11 @Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:12 @For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:13 @But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:14 @For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to come even as far as you in the gospel of Christ;

nasb@2Corinthians:10:15 @not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we will be, within our sphere, enlarged even more by you,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:16 @so as to preach the gospel even to the regions beyond you, and not to boast in what has been accomplished in the sphere of another.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:17 @But HE WHO BOASTS IS TO BOAST IN THE LORD.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:18 @For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:2 @For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:3 @But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:4 @For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:5 @For I consider myself not in the least inferior to the most eminent apostles.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:7 @Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you without charge?

nasb@2Corinthians:11:8 @I robbed other churches by taking wages from them to serve you;

nasb@2Corinthians:11:9 @and when I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for when the brethren came from Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will continue to do so.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:10 @As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:12 @But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:13 @For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:15 @Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:17 @What I am saying, I am not saying as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:18 @Since many boast according to the flesh, I will boast also.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:19 @For you, being so wise, tolerate the foolish gladly.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:20 @For you tolerate it if anyone enslaves you, anyone devours you, anyone takes advantage of you, anyone exalts himself, anyone hits you in the face.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:22 @Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:23 @Are they servants of Christ?--I speak as if insane--I more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:24 @Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:25 @Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:26 @I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren;

nasb@2Corinthians:11:28 @Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches.

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

nasb@2Corinthians:11:32 @In Damascus the ethnarch under Aretas the king was guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to seize me,

nasb@2Corinthians:11:33 @and I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:1 @Boasting is necessary, though it is not profitable; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:2 @I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a man was caught up to the third heaven.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:3 @And I know how such a man--whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows--

nasb@2Corinthians:12:4 @was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:6 @For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:7 @Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me--to keep me from exalting myself!

nasb@2Corinthians:12:8 @Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:9 @And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:10 @Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:11 @I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am a nobody.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:12 @The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:13 @For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

nasb@2Corinthians:12:14 @Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you; for children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:16 @But be that as it may, I did not burden you myself; nevertheless, crafty fellow that I am, I took you in by deceit.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:18 @I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take any advantage of you, did he? Did we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?

nasb@2Corinthians:12:19 @All this time you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and all for your upbuilding, beloved.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:20 @For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances;

nasb@2Corinthians:12:21 @I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have sinned in the past and not repented of the impurity, immorality and sensuality which they have practiced.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:1 @This is the third time I am coming to you. EVERY FACT IS TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:2 @I have previously said when present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that if I come again I will not spare anyone,

nasb@2Corinthians:13:3 @since you are seeking for proof of the Christ who speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:4 @For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:5 @Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you fail the test?

nasb@2Corinthians:13:6 @But I trust that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:8 @For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:9 @For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak but you are strong; this we also pray for, that you be made complete.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:10 @For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:11 @Finally, brethren, rejoice, be made complete, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:12 @Greet one another with a holy kiss.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:13 @All the saints greet you.

nasb@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.

nasb@Galatians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle ( not sent from men nor through the agency of man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),

nasb@Galatians:1:2 @and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia-

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

nasb@Galatians:1:4 @who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

nasb@Galatians:1:5 @to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen.

nasb@Galatians:1:6 @I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel;

nasb@Galatians:1:7 @which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:1:8 @But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!

nasb@Galatians:1:9 @As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

nasb@Galatians:1:10 @For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.

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

nasb@Galatians:1:12 @For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

nasb@Galatians:1:13 @For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it;

nasb@Galatians:1:15 @But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother's womb and called me through His grace, was pleased

nasb@Galatians:1:16 @to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,

nasb@Galatians:1:18 @Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days.

nasb@Galatians:1:19 @But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother.

nasb@Galatians:1:21 @Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

nasb@Galatians:1:22 @I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ;

nasb@Galatians:1:23 @but only, they kept hearing, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy."

nasb@Galatians:1:24 @And they were glorifying God because of me.

nasb@Galatians:2:1 @Then after an interval of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.

nasb@Galatians:2:2 @It was because of a revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

nasb@Galatians:2:3 @But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

nasb@Galatians:2:4 @But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.

nasb@Galatians:2:5 @But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.

nasb@Galatians:2:6 @But from those who were of high reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)--well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me.

nasb@Galatians:2:7 @But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised

nasb@Galatians:2:8 @(for He who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles),

nasb@Galatians:2:9 @and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

nasb@Galatians:2:10 @They only asked us to remember the poor-- the very thing I also was eager to do.

nasb@Galatians:2:11 @But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

nasb@Galatians:2:12 @For prior to the coming of certain men from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to withdraw and hold himself aloof, fearing the party of the circumcision.

nasb@Galatians:2:13 @The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

nasb@Galatians:2:14 @But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, "If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?

nasb@Galatians:2:15" @We are Jews by nature and not sinners from among the Gentiles;

nasb@Galatians:2:16 @nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.

nasb@Galatians:2:17" @But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? May it never be!

nasb@Galatians:2:19" @For through the Law I died to the Law, so that I might live to God.

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

nasb@Galatians:2:21" @I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."

nasb@Galatians:3:1 @You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?

nasb@Galatians:3:2 @This is the only thing I want to find out from you- did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

nasb@Galatians:3:3 @Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

nasb@Galatians:3:5 @So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

nasb@Galatians:3:7 @Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.

nasb@Galatians:3:8 @The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, " ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU."

nasb@Galatians:3:9 @So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.

nasb@Galatians:3:11 @Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, " THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."

nasb@Galatians:3:12 @However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, " HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM."

nasb@Galatians:3:13 @Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, " CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE"--

nasb@Galatians:3:14 @in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

nasb@Galatians:3:15 @Brethren, I speak in terms of human relations- even though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it.

nasb@Galatians:3:16 @Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, "And to seeds," as referring to many, but rather to one, " And to your seed," that is, Christ.

nasb@Galatians:3:17 @What I am saying is this- the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.

nasb@Galatians:3:18 @For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.

nasb@Galatians:3:19 @Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

nasb@Galatians:3:20 @Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one.

nasb@Galatians:3:21 @Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.

nasb@Galatians:3:22 @But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

nasb@Galatians:3:23 @But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed.

nasb@Galatians:3:24 @Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.

nasb@Galatians:3:27 @For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

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

nasb@Galatians:3:29 @And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise.

nasb@Galatians:4:1 @Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything,

nasb@Galatians:4:2 @but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.

nasb@Galatians:4:3 @So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world.

nasb@Galatians:4:4 @But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,

nasb@Galatians:4:5 @so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

nasb@Galatians:4:6 @Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, " Abba! Father!"

nasb@Galatians:4:7 @Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

nasb@Galatians:4:8 @However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods.

nasb@Galatians:4:9 @But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?

nasb@Galatians:4:13 @but you know that it was because of a bodily illness that I preached the gospel to you the first time;

nasb@Galatians:4:14 @and that which was a trial to you in my bodily condition you did not despise or loathe, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself.

nasb@Galatians:4:15 @Where then is that sense of blessing you had? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

nasb@Galatians:4:16 @So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

nasb@Galatians:4:17 @They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them.

nasb@Galatians:4:18 @But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable manner, and not only when I am present with you.

nasb@Galatians:4:21 @Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law?

nasb@Galatians:4:22 @For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman.

nasb@Galatians:4:23 @But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.

nasb@Galatians:4:24 @This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants- one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.

nasb@Galatians:4:25 @Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

nasb@Galatians:4:26 @But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.

nasb@Galatians:4:27 @For it is written, " REJOICE, BARREN WOMAN WHO DOES NOT BEAR; FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR; FOR MORE NUMEROUS ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE DESOLATE THAN OF THE ONE WHO HAS A HUSBAND."

nasb@Galatians:4:29 @But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.

nasb@Galatians:4:30 @But what does the Scripture say? " CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON, FOR THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE AN HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREE WOMAN."

nasb@Galatians:4:31 @So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the free woman.

nasb@Galatians:5:1 @It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

nasb@Galatians:5:3 @And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.

nasb@Galatians:5:5 @For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

nasb@Galatians:5:6 @For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.

nasb@Galatians:5:7 @You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?

nasb@Galatians:5:9 @A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.

nasb@Galatians:5:10 @I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

nasb@Galatians:5:11 @But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.

nasb@Galatians:5:12 @I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves.

nasb@Galatians:5:13 @For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

nasb@Galatians:5:14 @For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, " YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

nasb@Galatians:5:15 @But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

nasb@Galatians:5:16 @But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

nasb@Galatians:5:17 @For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.

nasb@Galatians:5:18 @But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

nasb@Galatians:5:19 @Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are- immorality, impurity, sensuality,

nasb@Galatians:5:21 @envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

nasb@Galatians:5:22 @But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

nasb@Galatians:5:23 @gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

nasb@Galatians:5:24 @Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

nasb@Galatians:5:25 @If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

nasb@Galatians:5:26 @Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.

nasb@Galatians:6:2 @Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:6:3 @For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

nasb@Galatians:6:4 @But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.

nasb@Galatians:6:6 @The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.

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

nasb@Galatians:6:8 @For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

nasb@Galatians:6:9 @Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

nasb@Galatians:6:10 @So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

nasb@Galatians:6:12 @Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:6:13 @For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.

nasb@Galatians:6:14 @But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

nasb@Galatians:6:15 @For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

nasb@Galatians:6:16 @And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

nasb@Galatians:6:17 @From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus.

nasb@Galatians:6:18 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

nasb@Ephesians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus-

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

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

nasb@Ephesians:1:4 @just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love

nasb@Ephesians:1:5 @He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,

nasb@Ephesians:1:6 @to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

nasb@Ephesians:1:7 @In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

nasb@Ephesians:1:8 @which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight

nasb@Ephesians:1:9 @He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him

nasb@Ephesians:1:10 @with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him

nasb@Ephesians:1:11 @also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,

nasb@Ephesians:1:12 @to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.

nasb@Ephesians:1:13 @In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,

nasb@Ephesians:1:14 @who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory.

nasb@Ephesians:1:15 @For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,

nasb@Ephesians:1:16 @do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers;

nasb@Ephesians:1:17 @that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.

nasb@Ephesians:1:18 @I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

nasb@Ephesians:1:19 @and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might

nasb@Ephesians:1:20 @which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

nasb@Ephesians:1:21 @far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

nasb@Ephesians:1:22 @And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church,

nasb@Ephesians:1:23 @which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

nasb@Ephesians:2:1 @And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,

nasb@Ephesians:2:2 @in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.

nasb@Ephesians:2:3 @Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

nasb@Ephesians:2:4 @But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

nasb@Ephesians:2:5 @even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ ( by grace you have been saved),

nasb@Ephesians:2:6 @and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

nasb@Ephesians:2:7 @so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

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

nasb@Ephesians:2:9 @not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

nasb@Ephesians:2:10 @For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

nasb@Ephesians:2:11 @Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called " Uncircumcision" by the so-called " Circumcision," which is performed in the flesh by human hands--

nasb@Ephesians:2:12 @remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

nasb@Ephesians:2:13 @But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:2:14 @For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,

nasb@Ephesians:2:15 @by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,

nasb@Ephesians:2:16 @and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.

nasb@Ephesians:2:17 @AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR;

nasb@Ephesians:2:18 @for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

nasb@Ephesians:2:19 @So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household,

nasb@Ephesians:2:20 @having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,

nasb@Ephesians:2:21 @in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord,

nasb@Ephesians:2:22 @in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

nasb@Ephesians:3:1 @For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles--

nasb@Ephesians:3:2 @if indeed you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace which was given to me for you;

nasb@Ephesians:3:3 @that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.

nasb@Ephesians:3:4 @By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

nasb@Ephesians:3:5 @which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

nasb@Ephesians:3:6 @to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

nasb@Ephesians:3:7 @of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God's grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.

nasb@Ephesians:3:8 @To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ,

nasb@Ephesians:3:9 @and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;

nasb@Ephesians:3:10 @so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.

nasb@Ephesians:3:11 @This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

nasb@Ephesians:3:12 @in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.

nasb@Ephesians:3:13 @Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, for they are your glory.

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

nasb@Ephesians:3:15 @from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,

nasb@Ephesians:3:16 @that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,

nasb@Ephesians:3:17 @so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

nasb@Ephesians:3:18 @may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

nasb@Ephesians:3:19 @and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

nasb@Ephesians:3:20 @Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

nasb@Ephesians:3:21 @to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Ephesians:4:1 @Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,

nasb@Ephesians:4:2 @with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love,

nasb@Ephesians:4:3 @being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

nasb@Ephesians:4:4 @There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling;

nasb@Ephesians:4:5 @one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

nasb@Ephesians:4:6 @one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

nasb@Ephesians:4:7 @But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

nasb@Ephesians:4:8 @Therefore it says, " WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN."

nasb@Ephesians:4:9 @(Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth?

nasb@Ephesians:4:10 @He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.)

nasb@Ephesians:4:11 @And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,

nasb@Ephesians:4:12 @for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;

nasb@Ephesians:4:13 @until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:4:14 @As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;

nasb@Ephesians:4:15 @but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ,

nasb@Ephesians:4:16 @from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

nasb@Ephesians:4:17 @So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,

nasb@Ephesians:4:18 @being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;

nasb@Ephesians:4:19 @and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

nasb@Ephesians:4:20 @But you did not learn Christ in this way,

nasb@Ephesians:4:21 @if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,

nasb@Ephesians:4:22 @that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,

nasb@Ephesians:4:23 @and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

nasb@Ephesians:4:24 @and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

nasb@Ephesians:4:25 @Therefore, laying aside falsehood, SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are members of one another.

nasb@Ephesians:4:26 @BE ANGRY, AND yet DO NOT SIN; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

nasb@Ephesians:4:27 @and do not give the devil an opportunity.

nasb@Ephesians:4:28 @He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need.

nasb@Ephesians:4:29 @Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

nasb@Ephesians:4:30 @Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

nasb@Ephesians:4:31 @Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

nasb@Ephesians:4:32 @Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

nasb@Ephesians:5:1 @Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;

nasb@Ephesians:5:2 @and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.

nasb@Ephesians:5:3 @But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints;

nasb@Ephesians:5:4 @and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

nasb@Ephesians:5:5 @For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

nasb@Ephesians:5:6 @Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

nasb@Ephesians:5:7 @Therefore do not be partakers with them;

nasb@Ephesians:5:8 @for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light

nasb@Ephesians:5:9 @(for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

nasb@Ephesians:5:10 @trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

nasb@Ephesians:5:11 @Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them;

nasb@Ephesians:5:12 @for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.

nasb@Ephesians:5:13 @But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

nasb@Ephesians:5:14 @For this reason it says, " Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you."

nasb@Ephesians:5:15 @Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

nasb@Ephesians:5:16 @making the most of your time, because the days are evil.

nasb@Ephesians:5:17 @So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

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

nasb@Ephesians:5:19 @speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;

nasb@Ephesians:5:20 @always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

nasb@Ephesians:5:21 @and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:5:22 @Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

nasb@Ephesians:5:23 @For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.

nasb@Ephesians:5:24 @But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.

nasb@Ephesians:5:25 @Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,

nasb@Ephesians:5:26 @so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

nasb@Ephesians:5:27 @that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.

nasb@Ephesians:5:28 @So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;

nasb@Ephesians:5:29 @for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,

nasb@Ephesians:5:30 @because we are members of His body.

nasb@Ephesians:5:31 @FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.

nasb@Ephesians:5:32 @This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.

nasb@Ephesians:5:33 @Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.

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

nasb@Ephesians:6:2 @HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (which is the first commandment with a promise),

nasb@Ephesians:6:3 @SO THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU, AND THAT YOU MAY LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH.

nasb@Ephesians:6:4 @Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

nasb@Ephesians:6:5 @Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ;

nasb@Ephesians:6:6 @not by way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.

nasb@Ephesians:6:7 @With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men,

nasb@Ephesians:6:8 @knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free.

nasb@Ephesians:6:9 @And masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

nasb@Ephesians:6:10 @Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.

nasb@Ephesians:6:11 @Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

nasb@Ephesians:6:12 @For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

nasb@Ephesians:6:13 @Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

nasb@Ephesians:6:14 @Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,

nasb@Ephesians:6:15 @and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE;

nasb@Ephesians:6:16 @in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

nasb@Ephesians:6:17 @And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

nasb@Ephesians:6:18 @With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,

nasb@Ephesians:6:19 @and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

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

nasb@Ephesians:6:21 @But that you also may know about my circumstances, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make everything known to you.

nasb@Ephesians:6:22 @I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know about us, and that he may comfort your hearts.

nasb@Ephesians:6:23 @Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:6:24 @Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.

nasb@Philippians:1:1 @Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons-

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

nasb@Philippians:1:5 @in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.

nasb@Philippians:1:6 @For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:1:7 @For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

nasb@Philippians:1:8 @For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:1:10 @so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ;

nasb@Philippians:1:11 @having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

nasb@Philippians:1:12 @Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel,

nasb@Philippians:1:13 @so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,

nasb@Philippians:1:14 @and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.

nasb@Philippians:1:16 @the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;

nasb@Philippians:1:17 @the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.

nasb@Philippians:1:18 @What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,

nasb@Philippians:1:19 @for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

nasb@Philippians:1:20 @according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

nasb@Philippians:1:22 @But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.

nasb@Philippians:1:23 @But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better;

nasb@Philippians:1:24 @yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.

nasb@Philippians:1:25 @Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,

nasb@Philippians:1:27 @Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

nasb@Philippians:1:28 @in no way alarmed by your opponents--which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.

nasb@Philippians:1:30 @experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

nasb@Philippians:2:1 @Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

nasb@Philippians:2:2 @make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

nasb@Philippians:2:3 @Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;

nasb@Philippians:2:4 @do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

nasb@Philippians:2:6 @who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,

nasb@Philippians:2:7 @but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.

nasb@Philippians:2:8 @Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

nasb@Philippians:2:9 @For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,

nasb@Philippians:2:10 @so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

nasb@Philippians:2:11 @and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

nasb@Philippians:2:12 @So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;

nasb@Philippians:2:15 @so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,

nasb@Philippians:2:16 @holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.

nasb@Philippians:2:17 @But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.

nasb@Philippians:2:18 @You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

nasb@Philippians:2:19 @But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition.

nasb@Philippians:2:21 @For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:2:22 @But you know of his proven worth, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father.

nasb@Philippians:2:23 @Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;

nasb@Philippians:2:24 @and I trust in the Lord that I myself also will be coming shortly.

nasb@Philippians:2:25 @But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need;

nasb@Philippians:2:26 @because he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.

nasb@Philippians:2:27 @For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.

nasb@Philippians:2:28 @Therefore I have sent him all the more eagerly so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may be less concerned about you.

nasb@Philippians:2:29 @Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold men like him in high regard;

nasb@Philippians:2:30 @because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.

nasb@Philippians:3:1 @Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

nasb@Philippians:3:2 @Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision;

nasb@Philippians:3:3 @for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh,

nasb@Philippians:3:4 @although I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more-

nasb@Philippians:3:5 @circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee;

nasb@Philippians:3:6 @as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless.

nasb@Philippians:3:7 @But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

nasb@Philippians:3:8 @More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ,

nasb@Philippians:3:9 @and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

nasb@Philippians:3:10 @that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;

nasb@Philippians:3:11 @in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

nasb@Philippians:3:13 @Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do- forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

nasb@Philippians:3:14 @I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:3:15 @Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you;

nasb@Philippians:3:17 @Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us.

nasb@Philippians:3:18 @For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ,

nasb@Philippians:3:19 @whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things.

nasb@Philippians:3:20 @For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

nasb@Philippians:3:21 @who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.

nasb@Philippians:4:1 @Therefore, my beloved brethren whom I long to see, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

nasb@Philippians:4:2 @I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to live in harmony in the Lord.

nasb@Philippians:4:3 @Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

nasb@Philippians:4:4 @Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

nasb@Philippians:4:5 @Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.

nasb@Philippians:4:7 @And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:4:8 @Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

nasb@Philippians:4:9 @The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

nasb@Philippians:4:10 @But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity.

nasb@Philippians:4:12 @I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.

nasb@Philippians:4:13 @I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

nasb@Philippians:4:14 @Nevertheless, you have done well to share with me in my affliction.

nasb@Philippians:4:15 @You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone;

nasb@Philippians:4:16 @for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs.

nasb@Philippians:4:17 @Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account.

nasb@Philippians:4:19 @And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:4:20 @Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Philippians:4:21 @Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

nasb@Philippians:4:22 @All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar's household.

nasb@Philippians:4:23 @The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

nasb@Colossians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

nasb@Colossians:1:2 @To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are at Colossae- Grace to you and peace from God our Father.

nasb@Colossians:1:3 @We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

nasb@Colossians:1:4 @since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints;

nasb@Colossians:1:5 @because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel

nasb@Colossians:1:6 @which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth;

nasb@Colossians:1:8 @and he also informed us of your love in the Spirit.

nasb@Colossians:1:9 @For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

nasb@Colossians:1:10 @so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

nasb@Colossians:1:11 @strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously

nasb@Colossians:1:12 @giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.

nasb@Colossians:1:13 @For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,

nasb@Colossians:1:14 @in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

nasb@Colossians:1:15 @He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

nasb@Colossians:1:16 @For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-- all things have been created through Him and for Him.

nasb@Colossians:1:17 @He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

nasb@Colossians:1:18 @He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.

nasb@Colossians:1:19 @For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him,

nasb@Colossians:1:20 @and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.

nasb@Colossians:1:22 @yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach--

nasb@Colossians:1:23 @if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

nasb@Colossians:1:24 @Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions.

nasb@Colossians:1:25 @Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God,

nasb@Colossians:1:26 @that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints,

nasb@Colossians:1:27 @to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

nasb@Colossians:2:2 @that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself,

nasb@Colossians:2:3 @in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

nasb@Colossians:2:5 @For even though I am absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in Christ.

nasb@Colossians:2:6 @Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,

nasb@Colossians:2:7 @having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.

nasb@Colossians:2:8 @See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

nasb@Colossians:2:9 @For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,

nasb@Colossians:2:10 @and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;

nasb@Colossians:2:11 @and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ;

nasb@Colossians:2:12 @having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.

nasb@Colossians:2:13 @When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,

nasb@Colossians:2:14 @having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

nasb@Colossians:2:15 @When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.

nasb@Colossians:2:16 @Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--

nasb@Colossians:2:17 @things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

nasb@Colossians:2:18 @Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind,

nasb@Colossians:2:19 @and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God.

nasb@Colossians:2:20 @If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as,

nasb@Colossians:2:22 @(which all refer to things destined to perish with use)--in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men?

nasb@Colossians:2:23 @These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.

nasb@Colossians:3:1 @Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

nasb@Colossians:3:2 @Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.

nasb@Colossians:3:4 @When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

nasb@Colossians:3:5 @Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.

nasb@Colossians:3:6 @For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience,

nasb@Colossians:3:7 @and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them.

nasb@Colossians:3:8 @But now you also, put them all aside- anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth.

nasb@Colossians:3:9 @Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices,

nasb@Colossians:3:10 @and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him--

nasb@Colossians:3:11 @a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.

nasb@Colossians:3:12 @So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;

nasb@Colossians:3:13 @bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.

nasb@Colossians:3:14 @Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

nasb@Colossians:3:15 @Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.

nasb@Colossians:3:16 @Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

nasb@Colossians:3:17 @Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

nasb@Colossians:3:18 @Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

nasb@Colossians:3:19 @Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.

nasb@Colossians:3:20 @Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.

nasb@Colossians:3:21 @Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.

nasb@Colossians:3:22 @Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.

nasb@Colossians:3:23 @Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men,

nasb@Colossians:3:24 @knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.

nasb@Colossians:3:25 @For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality.

nasb@Colossians:4:1 @Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven.

nasb@Colossians:4:3 @praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned;

nasb@Colossians:4:4 @that I may make it clear in the way I ought to speak.

nasb@Colossians:4:5 @Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity.

nasb@Colossians:4:7 @As to all my affairs, Tychicus, our beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow bond-servant in the Lord, will bring you information.

nasb@Colossians:4:8 @For I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts;

nasb@Colossians:4:9 @and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of your number. They will inform you about the whole situation here.

nasb@Colossians:4:10 @Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you his greetings; and also Barnabas's cousin Mark (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him);

nasb@Colossians:4:11 @and also Jesus who is called Justus; these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are from the circumcision, and they have proved to be an encouragement to me.

nasb@Colossians:4:12 @Epaphras, who is one of your number, a bondslave of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.

nasb@Colossians:4:13 @For I testify for him that he has a deep concern for you and for those who are in Laodicea and Hierapolis.

nasb@Colossians:4:14 @Luke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings, and also Demas.

nasb@Colossians:4:15 @Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea and also Nympha and the church that is in her house.

nasb@Colossians:4:16 @When this letter is read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and you, for your part read my letter that is coming from Laodicea.

nasb@Colossians:4:17 @Say to Archippus, "Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it."

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:1 @Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ- Grace to you and peace.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:2 @We give thanks to God always for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers;

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:3 @constantly bearing in mind your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:4 @knowing, brethren beloved by God, His choice of you;

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:5 @for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:6 @You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:7 @so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:8 @For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:9 @For they themselves report about us what kind of a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:10 @and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:1 @For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:2 @but after we had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, as you know, we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:3 @For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit;

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:4 @but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:5 @For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed-- God is witness--

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:6 @nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:7 @But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:8 @Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:9 @For you recall, brethren, our labor and hardship, how working night and day so as not to be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:10 @You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers;

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:11 @just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:12 @so that you would walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:13 @For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:14 @For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:15 @who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out. They are not pleasing to God, but hostile to all men,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:16 @hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved; with the result that they always fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the utmost.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:17 @But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short while-- in person, not in spirit--were all the more eager with great desire to see your face.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:18 @For we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, more than once--and yet Satan hindered us.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:19 @For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:20 @For you are our glory and joy.

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:1 @Therefore when we could endure it no longer, we thought it best to be left behind at Athens alone,

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:2 @and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you as to your faith,

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:3 @so that no one would be disturbed by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we have been destined for this.

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:4 @For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction; and so it came to pass, as you know.

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:5 @For this reason, when I could endure it no longer, I also sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be in vain.

nasb@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 think kindly of us, longing to see us just as we also long to see you,

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:7 @for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith;

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:8 @for now we really live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:9 @For what thanks can we render to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God on your account,

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:10 @as we night and day keep praying most earnestly that we may see your face, and may complete what is lacking in your faith?

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:11 @Now may our God and Father Himself and Jesus our Lord direct our way to you;

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:12 @and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you;

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:13 @so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:1 @Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:2 @For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:3 @For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality;

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:4 @that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:5 @not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God;

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:6 @and that no man transgress and defraud his brother in the matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:7 @For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:8 @So, he who rejects this is not rejecting man but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:9 @Now as to the love of the brethren, you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:10 @for indeed you do practice it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, to excel still more,

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:11 @and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you,

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:12 @so that you will behave properly toward outsiders and not be in any need.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:13 @But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:14 @For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:15 @For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:16 @For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:17 @Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:18 @Therefore comfort one another with these words.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:1 @Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:2 @For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:3 @While they are saying, " Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:4 @But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief;

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:5 @for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:6 @so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:7 @For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:8 @But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:9 @For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:10 @who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.

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

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:12 @But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction,

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:13 @and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:14 @We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:15 @See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:16 @Rejoice always;

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:17 @pray without ceasing;

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:18 @in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:19 @Do not quench the Spirit;

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:20 @do not despise prophetic utterances.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:21 @But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:22 @abstain from every form of evil.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:23 @Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:24 @Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:25 @Brethren, pray for us.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:26 @Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:27 @I adjure you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brethren.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:28 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:1 @Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ-

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:3 @We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater;

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:4 @therefore, we ourselves speak proudly of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:5 @This is a plain indication of God's righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:6 @For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:7 @and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:8 @dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:9 @These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:10 @when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed--for our testimony to you was believed.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:11 @To this end also we pray for you always, that our God will count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power,

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:12 @so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:1 @Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:2 @that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:3 @Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:4 @who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:5 @Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:6 @And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:7 @For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:8 @Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:9 @that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:10 @and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:11 @For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:12 @in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:13 @But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:14 @It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:15 @So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:16 @Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:17 @comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:1 @Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you;

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:2 @and that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:3 @But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:4 @We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:5 @May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:6 @Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:7 @For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined manner among you,

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:8 @nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we kept working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you;

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:9 @not because we do not have the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would follow our example.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:10 @For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order- if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:11 @For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:12 @Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:13 @But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary of doing good.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:14 @If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he will be put to shame.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:15 @Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:16 @Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all!

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:17 @I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, and this is a distinguishing mark in every letter; this is the way I write.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:18 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

nasb@1Timothy:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope,

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

nasb@1Timothy:1:3 @As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines,

nasb@1Timothy:1:4 @nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith.

nasb@1Timothy:1:5 @But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

nasb@1Timothy:1:6 @For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion,

nasb@1Timothy:1:7 @wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.

nasb@1Timothy:1:8 @But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully,

nasb@1Timothy:1:9 @realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers

nasb@1Timothy:1:11 @according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

nasb@1Timothy:1:12 @I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,

nasb@1Timothy:1:13 @even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

nasb@1Timothy:1:14 @and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus.

nasb@1Timothy:1:15 @It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.

nasb@1Timothy:1:16 @Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

nasb@1Timothy:1:17 @Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@1Timothy:1:18 @This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight,

nasb@1Timothy:1:19 @keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.

nasb@1Timothy:1:20 @Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.

nasb@1Timothy:2:1 @First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,

nasb@1Timothy:2:3 @This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

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

nasb@1Timothy:2:5 @For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

nasb@1Timothy:2:6 @who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.

nasb@1Timothy:2:7 @For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle ( I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

nasb@1Timothy:2:8 @Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.

nasb@1Timothy:2:9 @Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,

nasb@1Timothy:2:10 @but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.

nasb@1Timothy:2:13 @For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.

nasb@1Timothy:2:14 @And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.

nasb@1Timothy:2:15 @But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.

nasb@1Timothy:3:1 @It is a trustworthy statement- if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do.

nasb@1Timothy:3:2 @An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

nasb@1Timothy:3:3 @not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money.

nasb@1Timothy:3:4 @He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity

nasb@1Timothy:3:5 @(but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),

nasb@1Timothy:3:6 @and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil.

nasb@1Timothy:3:7 @And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

nasb@1Timothy:3:9 @but holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.

nasb@1Timothy:3:10 @These men must also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons if they are beyond reproach.

nasb@1Timothy:3:12 @Deacons must be husbands of only one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households.

nasb@1Timothy:3:13 @For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

nasb@1Timothy:3:14 @I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you before long;

nasb@1Timothy:3:15 @but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

nasb@1Timothy:3:16 @By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness- He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.

nasb@1Timothy:4:1 @But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

nasb@1Timothy:4:2 @by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,

nasb@1Timothy:4:3 @men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.

nasb@1Timothy:4:5 @for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.

nasb@1Timothy:4:6 @In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following.

nasb@1Timothy:4:7 @But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;

nasb@1Timothy:4:8 @for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

nasb@1Timothy:4:10 @For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

nasb@1Timothy:4:11 @Prescribe and teach these things.

nasb@1Timothy:4:12 @Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.

nasb@1Timothy:4:13 @Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching.

nasb@1Timothy:4:14 @Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery.

nasb@1Timothy:4:15 @Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.

nasb@1Timothy:4:16 @Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.

nasb@1Timothy:5:1 @Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers,

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

nasb@1Timothy:5:4 @but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

nasb@1Timothy:5:5 @Now she who is a widow indeed and who has been left alone, has fixed her hope on God and continues in entreaties and prayers night and day.

nasb@1Timothy:5:6 @But she who gives herself to wanton pleasure is dead even while she lives.

nasb@1Timothy:5:7 @Prescribe these things as well, so that they may be above reproach.

nasb@1Timothy:5:8 @But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

nasb@1Timothy:5:9 @A widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,

nasb@1Timothy:5:10 @having a reputation for good works; and if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has assisted those in distress, and if she has devoted herself to every good work.

nasb@1Timothy:5:11 @But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married,

nasb@1Timothy:5:12 @thus incurring condemnation, because they have set aside their previous pledge.

nasb@1Timothy:5:13 @At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.

nasb@1Timothy:5:14 @Therefore, I want younger widows to get married, bear children, keep house, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach;

nasb@1Timothy:5:16 @If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed.

nasb@1Timothy:5:17 @The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

nasb@1Timothy:5:18 @For the Scripture says, " YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING," and " The laborer is worthy of his wages."

nasb@1Timothy:5:19 @Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.

nasb@1Timothy:5:20 @Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning.

nasb@1Timothy:5:21 @I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.

nasb@1Timothy:5:22 @Do not lay hands upon anyone too hastily and thereby share responsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself free from sin.

nasb@1Timothy:5:23 @No longer drink water exclusively, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

nasb@1Timothy:5:24 @The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins follow after.

nasb@1Timothy:5:25 @Likewise also, deeds that are good are quite evident, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.

nasb@1Timothy:6:1 @All who are under the yoke as slaves are to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor so that the name of God and our doctrine will not be spoken against.

nasb@1Timothy:6:2 @Those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, but must serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and preach these principles.

nasb@1Timothy:6:3 @If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness,

nasb@1Timothy:6:4 @he is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions,

nasb@1Timothy:6:5 @and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.

nasb@1Timothy:6:6 @But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.

nasb@1Timothy:6:7 @For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either.

nasb@1Timothy:6:8 @If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.

nasb@1Timothy:6:10 @For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

nasb@1Timothy:6:11 @But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness.

nasb@1Timothy:6:12 @Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

nasb@1Timothy:6:13 @I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

nasb@1Timothy:6:14 @that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@1Timothy:6:15 @which He will bring about at the proper time--He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

nasb@1Timothy:6:17 @Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.

nasb@1Timothy:6:18 @Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share,

nasb@1Timothy:6:19 @storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.

nasb@1Timothy:6:20 @O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called "knowledge"--

nasb@1Timothy:6:21 @which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith. Grace be with you.

nasb@2Timothy:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

nasb@2Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my beloved son- Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

nasb@2Timothy:1:3 @I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day,

nasb@2Timothy:1:5 @For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well.

nasb@2Timothy:1:6 @For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

nasb@2Timothy:1:8 @Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God,

nasb@2Timothy:1:10 @but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

nasb@2Timothy:1:11 @for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher.

nasb@2Timothy:1:12 @For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.

nasb@2Timothy:1:13 @Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

nasb@2Timothy:1:14 @Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.

nasb@2Timothy:1:15 @You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

nasb@2Timothy:1:16 @The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains;

nasb@2Timothy:1:17 @but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me--

nasb@2Timothy:1:18 @the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day--and you know very well what services he rendered at Ephesus.

nasb@2Timothy:2:1 @You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

nasb@2Timothy:2:2 @The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

nasb@2Timothy:2:4 @No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

nasb@2Timothy:2:5 @Also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules.

nasb@2Timothy:2:6 @The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops.

nasb@2Timothy:2:7 @Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

nasb@2Timothy:2:8 @Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel,

nasb@2Timothy:2:9 @for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of God is not imprisoned.

nasb@2Timothy:2:10 @For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory.

nasb@2Timothy:2:12 @If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us;

nasb@2Timothy:2:13 @If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

nasb@2Timothy:2:14 @Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the hearers.

nasb@2Timothy:2:15 @Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.

nasb@2Timothy:2:16 @But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness,

nasb@2Timothy:2:17 @and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

nasb@2Timothy:2:18 @men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some.

nasb@2Timothy:2:19 @Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, " The Lord knows those who are His," and, " Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness."

nasb@2Timothy:2:20 @Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor.

nasb@2Timothy:2:21 @Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.

nasb@2Timothy:2:22 @Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

nasb@2Timothy:2:23 @But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels.

nasb@2Timothy:2:24 @The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged,

nasb@2Timothy:2:25 @with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth,

nasb@2Timothy:2:26 @and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.

nasb@2Timothy:3:1 @But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

nasb@2Timothy:3:4 @treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

nasb@2Timothy:3:5 @holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.

nasb@2Timothy:3:6 @For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,

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

nasb@2Timothy:3:8 @Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.

nasb@2Timothy:3:9 @But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes's and Jambres's folly was also.

nasb@2Timothy:3:11 @persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!

nasb@2Timothy:3:14 @You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them,

nasb@2Timothy:3:15 @and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

nasb@2Timothy:3:17 @so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

nasb@2Timothy:4:1 @I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom-

nasb@2Timothy:4:2 @preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.

nasb@2Timothy:4:3 @For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,

nasb@2Timothy:4:4 @and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.

nasb@2Timothy:4:5 @But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

nasb@2Timothy:4:6 @For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.

nasb@2Timothy:4:7 @I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;

nasb@2Timothy:4:8 @in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.

nasb@2Timothy:4:10 @for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

nasb@2Timothy:4:11 @Only Luke is with me. Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

nasb@2Timothy:4:12 @But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

nasb@2Timothy:4:13 @When you come bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.

nasb@2Timothy:4:14 @Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

nasb@2Timothy:4:15 @Be on guard against him yourself, for he vigorously opposed our teaching.

nasb@2Timothy:4:16 @At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them.

nasb@2Timothy:4:17 @But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was rescued out of the lion's mouth.

nasb@2Timothy:4:18 @The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@2Timothy:4:19 @Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

nasb@2Timothy:4:21 @Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.

nasb@2Timothy:4:22 @The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.

nasb@Titus:1:1 @Paul, a bond-servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of those chosen of God and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

nasb@Titus:1:2 @in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago,

nasb@Titus:1:3 @but at the proper time manifested, even His word, in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,

nasb@Titus:1:4 @To Titus, my true child in a common faith- Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

nasb@Titus:1:6 @namely, if any man is above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion.

nasb@Titus:1:7 @For the overseer must be above reproach as God's steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain,

nasb@Titus:1:9 @holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict.

nasb@Titus:1:10 @For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

nasb@Titus:1:11 @who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach for the sake of sordid gain.

nasb@Titus:1:12 @One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, " Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."

nasb@Titus:1:13 @This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith,

nasb@Titus:1:14 @not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

nasb@Titus:1:15 @To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

nasb@Titus:1:16 @They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed.

nasb@Titus:2:1 @But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine.

nasb@Titus:2:3 @Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,

nasb@Titus:2:4 @so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

nasb@Titus:2:5 @to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

nasb@Titus:2:6 @Likewise urge the young men to be sensible;

nasb@Titus:2:8 @sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

nasb@Titus:2:9 @Urge bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,

nasb@Titus:2:10 @not pilfering, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in every respect.

nasb@Titus:2:11 @For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

nasb@Titus:2:12 @instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,

nasb@Titus:2:13 @looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,

nasb@Titus:2:15 @These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.

nasb@Titus:3:1 @Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed,

nasb@Titus:3:3 @For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

nasb@Titus:3:4 @But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,

nasb@Titus:3:5 @He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Titus:3:6 @whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

nasb@Titus:3:7 @so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

nasb@Titus:3:8 @This is a trustworthy statement; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God will be careful to engage in good deeds. These things are good and profitable for men.

nasb@Titus:3:9 @But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.

nasb@Titus:3:12 @When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

nasb@Titus:3:13 @Diligently help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way so that nothing is lacking for them.

nasb@Titus:3:14 @Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful.

nasb@Titus:3:15 @All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.

nasb@Philemon:1:1 @Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved brother and fellow worker,

nasb@Philemon:1:2 @and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house-

nasb@Philemon:1:3 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Philemon:1:5 @because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints;

nasb@Philemon:1:6 @and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good thing which is in you for Christ's sake.

nasb@Philemon:1:7 @For I have come to have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

nasb@Philemon:1:8 @Therefore, though I have enough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper,

nasb@Philemon:1:9 @yet for love's sake I rather appeal to you--since I am such a person as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus--

nasb@Philemon:1:12 @I have sent him back to you in person, that is, sending my very heart,

nasb@Philemon:1:13 @whom I wished to keep with me, so that on your behalf he might minister to me in my imprisonment for the gospel;

nasb@Philemon:1:15 @For perhaps he was for this reason separated from you for a while, that you would have him back forever,

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

nasb@Philemon:1:17 @If then you regard me a partner, accept him as you would me.

nasb@Philemon:1:18 @But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge that to my account;

nasb@Philemon:1:20 @Yes, brother, let me benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

nasb@Philemon:1:22 @At the same time also prepare me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I will be given to you.

nasb@Philemon:1:25 @The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

nasb@Hebrews:1:1 @God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways,

nasb@Hebrews:1:2 @in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.

nasb@Hebrews:1:3 @And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

nasb@Hebrews:1:4 @having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.

nasb@Hebrews:1:5 @For to which of the angels did He ever say, " YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU"? And again, " I WILL BE A FATHER TO HIM AND HE SHALL BE A SON TO ME"?

nasb@Hebrews:1:6 @And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says, " AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM."

nasb@Hebrews:1:7 @And of the angels He says, " WHO MAKES HIS ANGELS WINDS, AND HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE."

nasb@Hebrews:1:8 @But of the Son He says, " YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER, AND THE RIGHTEOUS SCEPTER IS THE SCEPTER OF HIS KINGDOM.

nasb@Hebrews:1:9" @ YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED LAWLESSNESS; THEREFORE GOD, YOUR GOD, HAS ANOINTED YOU WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS ABOVE YOUR COMPANIONS."

nasb@Hebrews:1:10 @And, " YOU, LORD, IN THE BEGINNING LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;

nasb@Hebrews:1:11 @THEY WILL PERISH, BUT YOU REMAIN; AND THEY ALL WILL BECOME OLD LIKE A GARMENT,

nasb@Hebrews:1:12 @AND LIKE A MANTLE YOU WILL ROLL THEM UP; LIKE A GARMENT THEY WILL ALSO BE CHANGED. BUT YOU ARE THE SAME, AND YOUR YEARS WILL NOT COME TO AN END."

nasb@Hebrews:1:13 @But to which of the angels has He ever said, " SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET"?

nasb@Hebrews:1:14 @Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvationNULL

nasb@Hebrews:2:1 @For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.

nasb@Hebrews:2:2 @For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,

nasb@Hebrews:2:3 @how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard,

nasb@Hebrews:2:4 @God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.

nasb@Hebrews:2:5 @For He did not subject to angels the world to come, concerning which we are speaking.

nasb@Hebrews:2:6 @But one has testified somewhere, saying, " WHAT IS MAN, THAT YOU REMEMBER HIM? OR THE SON OF MAN, THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HIM?

nasb@Hebrews:2:7" @ YOU HAVE MADE HIM FOR A LITTLE WHILE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS; YOU HAVE CROWNED HIM WITH GLORY AND HONOR, AND HAVE APPOINTED HIM OVER THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;

nasb@Hebrews:2:8 @YOU HAVE PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET." For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

nasb@Hebrews:2:9 @But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

nasb@Hebrews:2:10 @For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings.

nasb@Hebrews:2:11 @For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

nasb@Hebrews:2:12 @saying, " I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE."

nasb@Hebrews:2:13 @And again, " I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM." And again, " BEHOLD, I AND THE CHILDREN WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN ME."

nasb@Hebrews:2:14 @Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

nasb@Hebrews:2:15 @and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

nasb@Hebrews:2:16 @For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham.

nasb@Hebrews:2:17 @Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

nasb@Hebrews:2:18 @For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.

nasb@Hebrews:3:1 @Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession;

nasb@Hebrews:3:2 @He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.

nasb@Hebrews:3:3 @For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.

nasb@Hebrews:3:4 @For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

nasb@Hebrews:3:5 @Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;

nasb@Hebrews:3:6 @but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house-- whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.

nasb@Hebrews:3:7 @Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, " TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,

nasb@Hebrews:3:8 @DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,

nasb@Hebrews:3:9 @WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED Me BY TESTING Me, AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS.

nasb@Hebrews:3:10" @ THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SAID, 'THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS';

nasb@Hebrews:3:11 @AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, 'THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.'"

nasb@Hebrews:3:12 @Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.

nasb@Hebrews:3:13 @But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

nasb@Hebrews:3:14 @For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,

nasb@Hebrews:3:15 @while it is said, " TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME."

nasb@Hebrews:3:16 @For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

nasb@Hebrews:3:17 @And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

nasb@Hebrews:3:18 @And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?

nasb@Hebrews:3:19 @So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.

nasb@Hebrews:4:1 @Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.

nasb@Hebrews:4:2 @For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.

nasb@Hebrews:4:3 @For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, " AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST," although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.

nasb@Hebrews:4:4 @For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day- " AND GOD RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS";

nasb@Hebrews:4:5 @and again in this passage, " THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST."

nasb@Hebrews:4:6 @Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,

nasb@Hebrews:4:7 @He again fixes a certain day, "Today," saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, " TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS."

nasb@Hebrews:4:8 @For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.

nasb@Hebrews:4:9 @So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

nasb@Hebrews:4:10 @For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.

nasb@Hebrews:4:11 @Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.

nasb@Hebrews:4:12 @For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

nasb@Hebrews:4:13 @And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

nasb@Hebrews:4:14 @Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

nasb@Hebrews:4:15 @For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.

nasb@Hebrews:4:16 @Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

nasb@Hebrews:5:1 @For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

nasb@Hebrews:5:2 @he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness;

nasb@Hebrews:5:3 @and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so also for himself.

nasb@Hebrews:5:4 @And no one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.

nasb@Hebrews:5:5 @So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, " YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU";

nasb@Hebrews:5:6 @just as He says also in another passage, " YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."

nasb@Hebrews:5:7 @In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety.

nasb@Hebrews:5:8 @Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.

nasb@Hebrews:5:9 @And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,

nasb@Hebrews:5:10 @being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

nasb@Hebrews:5:11 @Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

nasb@Hebrews:5:12 @For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

nasb@Hebrews:5:13 @For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

nasb@Hebrews:5:14 @But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

nasb@Hebrews:6:1 @Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

nasb@Hebrews:6:2 @of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.

nasb@Hebrews:6:3 @And this we will do, if God permits.

nasb@Hebrews:6:4 @For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Hebrews:6:5 @and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

nasb@Hebrews:6:6 @and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.

nasb@Hebrews:6:7 @For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God;

nasb@Hebrews:6:8 @but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.

nasb@Hebrews:6:9 @But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way.

nasb@Hebrews:6:10 @For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.

nasb@Hebrews:6:11 @And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end,

nasb@Hebrews:6:12 @so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

nasb@Hebrews:6:13 @For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

nasb@Hebrews:6:14 @saying, " I WILL SURELY BLESS YOU AND I WILL SURELY MULTIPLY YOU."

nasb@Hebrews:6:15 @And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.

nasb@Hebrews:6:16 @For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute.

nasb@Hebrews:6:17 @In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath,

nasb@Hebrews:6:18 @so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

nasb@Hebrews:6:19 @This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil,

nasb@Hebrews:6:20 @where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

nasb@Hebrews:7:1 @For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

nasb@Hebrews:7:2 @to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace.

nasb@Hebrews:7:3 @Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually.

nasb@Hebrews:7:4 @Now observe how great this man was to whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the choicest spoils.

nasb@Hebrews:7:5 @And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have commandment in the Law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, although these are descended from Abraham.

nasb@Hebrews:7:6 @But the one whose genealogy is not traced from them collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises.

nasb@Hebrews:7:7 @But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.

nasb@Hebrews:7:8 @In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.

nasb@Hebrews:7:9 @And, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who received tithes, paid tithes,

nasb@Hebrews:7:10 @for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

nasb@Hebrews:7:11 @Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?

nasb@Hebrews:7:12 @For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.

nasb@Hebrews:7:13 @For the one concerning whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

nasb@Hebrews:7:14 @For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.

nasb@Hebrews:7:15 @And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek,

nasb@Hebrews:7:16 @who has become such not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

nasb@Hebrews:7:17 @For it is attested of Him, " YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."

nasb@Hebrews:7:18 @For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

nasb@Hebrews:7:19 @(for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

nasb@Hebrews:7:20 @And inasmuch as it was not without an oath

nasb@Hebrews:7:21 @(for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him, " THE LORD HAS SWORN AND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND, 'YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER'");

nasb@Hebrews:7:22 @so much the more also Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

nasb@Hebrews:7:23 @The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing,

nasb@Hebrews:7:24 @but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently.

nasb@Hebrews:7:25 @Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

nasb@Hebrews:7:26 @For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens;

nasb@Hebrews:7:27 @who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

nasb@Hebrews:7:28 @For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, made perfect forever.

nasb@Hebrews:8:1 @Now the main point in what has been said is this- we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

nasb@Hebrews:8:2 @a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

nasb@Hebrews:8:3 @For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

nasb@Hebrews:8:4 @Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law;

nasb@Hebrews:8:5 @who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, " SEE," He says, "THAT YOU MAKE all things ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN WHICH WAS SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN."

nasb@Hebrews:8:6 @But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

nasb@Hebrews:8:7 @For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second.

nasb@Hebrews:8:8 @For finding fault with them, He says, " BEHOLD, DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, WHEN I WILL EFFECT A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH;

nasb@Hebrews:8:9 @NOT LIKE 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 CONTINUE IN MY COVENANT, AND I DID NOT CARE FOR THEM, SAYS THE LORD.

nasb@Hebrews:8:10" @ FOR 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 I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS. AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

nasb@Hebrews:8:11" @ AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN, AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, 'KNOW THE LORD,' FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM.

nasb@Hebrews:8:12" @ FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE."

nasb@Hebrews:8:13 @When He said, " A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.

nasb@Hebrews:9:1 @Now even the first covenant had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary.

nasb@Hebrews:9:2 @For there was a tabernacle prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place.

nasb@Hebrews:9:3 @Behind the second veil there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

nasb@Hebrews:9:4 @having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded, and the tables of the covenant;

nasb@Hebrews:9:5 @and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

nasb@Hebrews:9:6 @Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship,

nasb@Hebrews:9:7 @but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

nasb@Hebrews:9:8 @The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing,

nasb@Hebrews:9:9 @which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience,

nasb@Hebrews:9:10 @since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.

nasb@Hebrews:9:11 @But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;

nasb@Hebrews:9:12 @and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

nasb@Hebrews:9:13 @For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,

nasb@Hebrews:9:14 @how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

nasb@Hebrews:9:15 @For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

nasb@Hebrews:9:16 @For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.

nasb@Hebrews:9:17 @For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.

nasb@Hebrews:9:18 @Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood.

nasb@Hebrews:9:19 @For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

nasb@Hebrews:9:20 @saying, " THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT WHICH GOD COMMANDED YOU."

nasb@Hebrews:9:21 @And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood.

nasb@Hebrews:9:22 @And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

nasb@Hebrews:9:23 @Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

nasb@Hebrews:9:24 @For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

nasb@Hebrews:9:25 @nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own.

nasb@Hebrews:9:26 @Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

nasb@Hebrews:9:27 @And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,

nasb@Hebrews:9:28 @so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

nasb@Hebrews:10:1 @For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near.

nasb@Hebrews:10:2 @Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins?

nasb@Hebrews:10:3 @But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year.

nasb@Hebrews:10:4 @For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

nasb@Hebrews:10:5 @Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, " SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME;

nasb@Hebrews:10:6 @IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE TAKEN NO PLEASURE.

nasb@Hebrews:10:8 @After saying above, " SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE in them" (which are offered according to the Law),

nasb@Hebrews:10:9 @then He said, " BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL." He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

nasb@Hebrews:10:10 @By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

nasb@Hebrews:10:11 @Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;

nasb@Hebrews:10:12 @but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,

nasb@Hebrews:10:13 @waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET.

nasb@Hebrews:10:14 @For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

nasb@Hebrews:10:15 @And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,

nasb@Hebrews:10:16" @ THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD- I WILL PUT MY LAWS UPON THEIR HEART, AND ON THEIR MIND I WILL WRITE THEM," He then says,

nasb@Hebrews:10:17" @ AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."

nasb@Hebrews:10:18 @Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.

nasb@Hebrews:10:19 @Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

nasb@Hebrews:10:20 @by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,

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

nasb@Hebrews:10:22 @let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

nasb@Hebrews:10:23 @Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;

nasb@Hebrews:10:24 @and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,

nasb@Hebrews:10:25 @not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

nasb@Hebrews:10:26 @For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

nasb@Hebrews:10:27 @but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

nasb@Hebrews:10:28 @Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

nasb@Hebrews:10:29 @How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

nasb@Hebrews:10:30 @For we know Him who said, " VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, " THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE."

nasb@Hebrews:10:31 @It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

nasb@Hebrews:10:32 @But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings,

nasb@Hebrews:10:33 @partly by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those who were so treated.

nasb@Hebrews:10:34 @For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one.

nasb@Hebrews:10:35 @Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

nasb@Hebrews:10:36 @For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

nasb@Hebrews:10:37 @FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.

nasb@Hebrews:10:38 @BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.

nasb@Hebrews:10:39 @But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.

nasb@Hebrews:11:1 @Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

nasb@Hebrews:11:2 @For by it the men of old gained approval.

nasb@Hebrews:11:3 @By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

nasb@Hebrews:11:4 @By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks.

nasb@Hebrews:11:5 @By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.

nasb@Hebrews:11:6 @And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

nasb@Hebrews:11:7 @By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

nasb@Hebrews:11:8 @By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.

nasb@Hebrews:11:9 @By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise;

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

nasb@Hebrews:11:11 @By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.

nasb@Hebrews:11:12 @Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE SAND WHICH IS BY THE SEASHORE.

nasb@Hebrews:11:13 @All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

nasb@Hebrews:11:14 @For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.

nasb@Hebrews:11:15 @And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.

nasb@Hebrews:11:16 @But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.

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

nasb@Hebrews:11:18 @it was he to whom it was said, " IN ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE CALLED."

nasb@Hebrews:11:19 @He considered that God is able to raise people even from the dead, from which he also received him back as a type.

nasb@Hebrews:11:20 @By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come.

nasb@Hebrews:11:21 @By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

nasb@Hebrews:11:22 @By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones.

nasb@Hebrews:11:23 @By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

nasb@Hebrews:11:24 @By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

nasb@Hebrews:11:25 @choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,

nasb@Hebrews:11:26 @considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward.

nasb@Hebrews:11:27 @By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen.

nasb@Hebrews:11:28 @By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.

nasb@Hebrews:11:29 @By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned.

nasb@Hebrews:11:30 @By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.

nasb@Hebrews:11:31 @By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.

nasb@Hebrews:11:32 @And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,

nasb@Hebrews:11:33 @who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,

nasb@Hebrews:11:34 @quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.

nasb@Hebrews:11:35 @Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection;

nasb@Hebrews:11:36 @and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment.

nasb@Hebrews:11:37 @They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were put to death with the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated

nasb@Hebrews:11:38 @(men of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground.

nasb@Hebrews:11:39 @And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised,

nasb@Hebrews:11:40 @because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect.

nasb@Hebrews:12:1 @Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

nasb@Hebrews:12:2 @fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

nasb@Hebrews:12:3 @For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

nasb@Hebrews:12:4 @You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;

nasb@Hebrews:12:5 @and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, " MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM;

nasb@Hebrews:12:6 @FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES."

nasb@Hebrews:12:7 @It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

nasb@Hebrews:12:8 @But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

nasb@Hebrews:12:9 @Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live?

nasb@Hebrews:12:10 @For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.

nasb@Hebrews:12:11 @All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

nasb@Hebrews:12:12 @Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble,

nasb@Hebrews:12:13 @and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

nasb@Hebrews:12:14 @Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.

nasb@Hebrews:12:15 @See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

nasb@Hebrews:12:16 @that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.

nasb@Hebrews:12:17 @For you know that even afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears.

nasb@Hebrews:12:18 @For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind,

nasb@Hebrews:12:19 @and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which sound was such that those who heard begged that no further word be spoken to them.

nasb@Hebrews:12:20 @For they could not bear the command, " IF EVEN A BEAST TOUCHES THE MOUNTAIN, IT WILL BE STONED."

nasb@Hebrews:12:21 @And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, " I AM FULL OF FEAR and trembling."

nasb@Hebrews:12:22 @But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

nasb@Hebrews:12:23 @to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,

nasb@Hebrews:12:24 @and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel.

nasb@Hebrews:12:25 @See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.

nasb@Hebrews:12:26 @And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, " YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN."

nasb@Hebrews:12:27 @This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

nasb@Hebrews:12:28 @Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;

nasb@Hebrews:12:29 @for our God is a consuming fire.

nasb@Hebrews:13:1 @Let love of the brethren continue.

nasb@Hebrews:13:2 @Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

nasb@Hebrews:13:3 @Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.

nasb@Hebrews:13:4 @Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

nasb@Hebrews:13:5 @Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, " I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,"

nasb@Hebrews:13:6 @so that we confidently say, " THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?"

nasb@Hebrews:13:7 @Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.

nasb@Hebrews:13:8 @Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

nasb@Hebrews:13:9 @Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

nasb@Hebrews:13:10 @We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.

nasb@Hebrews:13:11 @For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.

nasb@Hebrews:13:12 @Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

nasb@Hebrews:13:13 @So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

nasb@Hebrews:13:14 @For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come.

nasb@Hebrews:13:15 @Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.

nasb@Hebrews:13:16 @And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

nasb@Hebrews:13:17 @Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.

nasb@Hebrews:13:18 @Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things.

nasb@Hebrews:13:19 @And I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you the sooner.

nasb@Hebrews:13:20 @Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord,

nasb@Hebrews:13:21 @equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Hebrews:13:22 @But I urge you, brethren, bear with this word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

nasb@Hebrews:13:23 @Take notice that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you.

nasb@Hebrews:13:24 @Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.

nasb@Hebrews:13:25 @Grace be with you all.

nasb@James:1:1 @James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad- Greetings.

nasb@James:1:2 @Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,

nasb@James:1:3 @knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

nasb@James:1:6 @But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

nasb@James:1:7 @For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,

nasb@James:1:9 @But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

nasb@James:1:10 @and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.

nasb@James:1:11 @For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.

nasb@James:1:12 @Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

nasb@James:1:13 @Let no one say when he is tempted, " I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

nasb@James:1:14 @But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.

nasb@James:1:15 @Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.

nasb@James:1:17 @Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

nasb@James:1:18 @In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.

nasb@James:1:19 @This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;

nasb@James:1:20 @for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.

nasb@James:1:21 @Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.

nasb@James:1:22 @But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.

nasb@James:1:23 @For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

nasb@James:1:24 @for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.

nasb@James:1:25 @But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.

nasb@James:1:26 @If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.

nasb@James:1:27 @Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this- to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

nasb@James:2:2 @For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes,

nasb@James:2:3 @and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, "You sit here in a good place," and you say to the poor man, "You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,"

nasb@James:2:5 @Listen, my beloved brethren- did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

nasb@James:2:6 @But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court?

nasb@James:2:7 @Do they not blaspheme the fair name by which you have been called?

nasb@James:2:8 @If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, " YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF," you are doing well.

nasb@James:2:9 @But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

nasb@James:2:10 @For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.

nasb@James:2:11 @For He who said, " DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY," also said, " DO NOT COMMIT MURDER." Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

nasb@James:2:12 @So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty.

nasb@James:2:14 @What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?

nasb@James:2:15 @If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,

nasb@James:2:16 @and one of you says to them, " Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?

nasb@James:2:18 @But someone may well say, "You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works."

nasb@James:2:19 @You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.

nasb@James:2:21 @Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

nasb@James:2:22 @You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;

nasb@James:2:23 @and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, " AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God.

nasb@James:2:25 @In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?

nasb@James:2:26 @For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

nasb@James:3:1 @Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.

nasb@James:3:2 @For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

nasb@James:3:3 @Now if we put the bits into the horses' mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well.

nasb@James:3:4 @Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires.

nasb@James:3:5 @So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!

nasb@James:3:6 @And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.

nasb@James:3:7 @For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.

nasb@James:3:8 @But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.

nasb@James:3:9 @With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God;

nasb@James:3:10 @from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.

nasb@James:3:11 @Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?

nasb@James:3:13 @Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.

nasb@James:3:14 @But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.

nasb@James:3:16 @For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.

nasb@James:3:17 @But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.

nasb@James:3:18 @And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

nasb@James:4:1 @What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?

nasb@James:4:4 @You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

nasb@James:4:5 @Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose- " He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us"?

nasb@James:4:6 @But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, " GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."

nasb@James:4:7 @Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

nasb@James:4:8 @Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

nasb@James:4:10 @Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

nasb@James:4:11 @Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges 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 of it.

nasb@James:4:12 @There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?

nasb@James:4:13 @Come now, you who say, " Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."

nasb@James:4:14 @Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

nasb@James:4:15 @Instead, you ought to say, " If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that."

nasb@James:4:17 @Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

nasb@James:5:2 @Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten.

nasb@James:5:3 @Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure!

nasb@James:5:4 @Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

nasb@James:5:5 @You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

nasb@James:5:6 @You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you.

nasb@James:5:7 @Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains.

nasb@James:5:8 @You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.

nasb@James:5:9 @Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.

nasb@James:5:10 @As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

nasb@James:5:11 @We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord's dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.

nasb@James:5:12 @But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you may not fall under judgment.

nasb@James:5:13 @Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises.

nasb@James:5:14 @Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

nasb@James:5:15 @and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.

nasb@James:5:16 @Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

nasb@James:5:17 @Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.

nasb@James:5:18 @Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.

nasb@James:5:19 @My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back,

nasb@James:5:20 @let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

nasb@1Peter:1:2 @according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood- May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.

nasb@1Peter:1:3 @Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

nasb@1Peter:1:4 @to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

nasb@1Peter:1:5 @who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

nasb@1Peter:1:7 @so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

nasb@1Peter:1:9 @obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

nasb@1Peter:1:10 @As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries,

nasb@1Peter:1:11 @seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.

nasb@1Peter:1:12 @It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven--things into which angels long to look.

nasb@1Peter:1:13 @Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Peter:1:14 @As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

nasb@1Peter:1:15 @but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior;

nasb@1Peter:1:17 @If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth;

nasb@1Peter:1:18 @knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,

nasb@1Peter:1:19 @but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.

nasb@1Peter:1:20 @For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you

nasb@1Peter:1:21 @who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

nasb@1Peter:1:22 @Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart,

nasb@1Peter:1:23 @for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.

nasb@1Peter:1:24 @For, " ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS, AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS. THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS OFF,

nasb@1Peter:1:25 @BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER." And this is the word which was preached to you.

nasb@1Peter:2:1 @Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander,

nasb@1Peter:2:2 @like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,

nasb@1Peter:2:3 @if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.

nasb@1Peter:2:4 @And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God,

nasb@1Peter:2:6 @For this is contained in Scripture- " BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

nasb@1Peter:2:7 @This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, " THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone,"

nasb@1Peter:2:8 @and, " A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE"; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed.

nasb@1Peter:2:9 @But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

nasb@1Peter:2:10 @for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.

nasb@1Peter:2:11 @Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul.

nasb@1Peter:2:12 @Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.

nasb@1Peter:2:13 @Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority,

nasb@1Peter:2:14 @or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.

nasb@1Peter:2:15 @For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.

nasb@1Peter:2:17 @Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.

nasb@1Peter:2:19 @For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly.

nasb@1Peter:2:20 @For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.

nasb@1Peter:2:23 @and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;

nasb@1Peter:2:24 @and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.

nasb@1Peter:2:25 @For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

nasb@1Peter:3:1 @In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,

nasb@1Peter:3:2 @as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.

nasb@1Peter:3:3 @Your adornment must not be merely external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses;

nasb@1Peter:3:4 @but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

nasb@1Peter:3:5 @For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands;

nasb@1Peter:3:6 @just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.

nasb@1Peter:3:7 @You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

nasb@1Peter:3:8 @To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit;

nasb@1Peter:3:9 @not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.

nasb@1Peter:3:10 @For, " THE ONE WHO DESIRES LIFE, TO LOVE AND SEE GOOD DAYS, MUST KEEP HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL AND HIS LIPS FROM SPEAKING DECEIT.

nasb@1Peter:3:11" @ HE MUST TURN AWAY FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD; HE MUST SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT.

nasb@1Peter:3:13 @Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good?

nasb@1Peter:3:14 @But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED,

nasb@1Peter:3:15 @but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;

nasb@1Peter:3:16 @and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.

nasb@1Peter:3:17 @For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.

nasb@1Peter:3:18 @For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

nasb@1Peter:3:19 @in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison,

nasb@1Peter:3:20 @who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water.

nasb@1Peter:3:21 @Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you-- not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

nasb@1Peter:3:22 @who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.

nasb@1Peter:4:1 @Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

nasb@1Peter:4:2 @so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

nasb@1Peter:4:3 @For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.

nasb@1Peter:4:4 @In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they malign you;

nasb@1Peter:4:5 @but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

nasb@1Peter:4:6 @For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.

nasb@1Peter:4:7 @The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer.

nasb@1Peter:4:8 @Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

nasb@1Peter:4:9 @Be hospitable to one another without complaint.

nasb@1Peter:4:10 @As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

nasb@1Peter:4:11 @Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@1Peter:4:12 @Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you;

nasb@1Peter:4:13 @but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation.

nasb@1Peter:4:14 @If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

nasb@1Peter:4:16 @but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

nasb@1Peter:4:17 @For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

nasb@1Peter:4:18 @AND IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED, WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE GODLESS MAN AND THE SINNER?

nasb@1Peter:4:19 @Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.

nasb@1Peter:5:1 @Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as your fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed,

nasb@1Peter:5:2 @shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness;

nasb@1Peter:5:3 @nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock.

nasb@1Peter:5:4 @And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

nasb@1Peter:5:5 @You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.

nasb@1Peter:5:6 @Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,

nasb@1Peter:5:7 @casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

nasb@1Peter:5:8 @Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

nasb@1Peter:5:9 @But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.

nasb@1Peter:5:10 @After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.

nasb@1Peter:5:12 @Through Silvanus, our faithful brother (for so I regard him), I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!

nasb@1Peter:5:13 @She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and so does my son, Mark.

nasb@1Peter:5:14 @Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ.

nasb@2Peter:1:1 @Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ-

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

nasb@2Peter:1:3 @seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

nasb@2Peter:1:4 @For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.

nasb@2Peter:1:7 @and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.

nasb@2Peter:1:8 @For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Peter:1:9 @For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.

nasb@2Peter:1:10 @Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;

nasb@2Peter:1:11 @for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you.

nasb@2Peter:1:12 @Therefore, I will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been established in the truth which is present with you.

nasb@2Peter:1:14 @knowing that the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

nasb@2Peter:1:15 @And I will also be diligent that at any time after my departure you will be able to call these things to mind.

nasb@2Peter:1:16 @For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

nasb@2Peter:1:17 @For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, "This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased"--

nasb@2Peter:1:18 @and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

nasb@2Peter:1:19 @So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.

nasb@2Peter:1:20 @But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,

nasb@2Peter:1:21 @for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

nasb@2Peter:2:1 @But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.

nasb@2Peter:2:2 @Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;

nasb@2Peter:2:3 @and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

nasb@2Peter:2:4 @For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;

nasb@2Peter:2:5 @and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;

nasb@2Peter:2:6 @and if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly lives thereafter;

nasb@2Peter:2:7 @and if He rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the sensual conduct of unprincipled men

nasb@2Peter:2:8 @(for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

nasb@2Peter:2:9 @then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

nasb@2Peter:2:10 @and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties,

nasb@2Peter:2:11 @whereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.

nasb@2Peter:2:12 @But these, like unreasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed,

nasb@2Peter:2:13 @suffering wrong as the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are stains and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they carouse with you,

nasb@2Peter:2:14 @having eyes full of adultery that never cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children;

nasb@2Peter:2:15 @forsaking the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

nasb@2Peter:2:16 @but he received a rebuke for his own transgression, for a mute donkey, speaking with a voice of a man, restrained the madness of the prophet.

nasb@2Peter:2:17 @These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm, for whom the black darkness has been reserved.

nasb@2Peter:2:18 @For speaking out arrogant words of vanity they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error,

nasb@2Peter:2:19 @promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.

nasb@2Peter:2:20 @For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

nasb@2Peter:2:21 @For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.

nasb@2Peter:2:22 @It has happened to them according to the true proverb, " A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT," and, "A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire."

nasb@2Peter:3:1 @This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder,

nasb@2Peter:3:2 @that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.

nasb@2Peter:3:3 @Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,

nasb@2Peter:3:4 @and saying, " Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation."

nasb@2Peter:3:5 @For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,

nasb@2Peter:3:6 @through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.

nasb@2Peter:3:7 @But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

nasb@2Peter:3:8 @But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.

nasb@2Peter:3:9 @The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

nasb@2Peter:3:10 @But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.

nasb@2Peter:3:11 @Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

nasb@2Peter:3:12 @looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

nasb@2Peter:3:13 @But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

nasb@2Peter:3:14 @Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,

nasb@2Peter:3:15 @and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you,

nasb@2Peter:3:16 @as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.

nasb@2Peter:3:17 @You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness,

nasb@2Peter:3:18 @but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

nasb@1John:1:1 @What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life--

nasb@1John:1:2 @and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us--

nasb@1John:1:3 @what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.

nasb@1John:1:4 @These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.

nasb@1John:1:5 @This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

nasb@1John:1:6 @If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth;

nasb@1John:1:7 @but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

nasb@1John:1:8 @If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

nasb@1John:1:9 @If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

nasb@1John:2:1 @My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

nasb@1John:2:2 @and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

nasb@1John:2:4 @The one who says, " I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

nasb@1John:2:5 @but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him-

nasb@1John:2:6 @the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

nasb@1John:2:7 @Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.

nasb@1John:2:8 @On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.

nasb@1John:2:9 @The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now.

nasb@1John:2:10 @The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

nasb@1John:2:11 @But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

nasb@1John:2:13 @I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

nasb@1John:2:14 @I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

nasb@1John:2:15 @Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

nasb@1John:2:16 @For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

nasb@1John:2:17 @The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.

nasb@1John:2:18 @Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

nasb@1John:2:19 @They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.

nasb@1John:2:20 @But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.

nasb@1John:2:21 @I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

nasb@1John:2:22 @Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

nasb@1John:2:23 @Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

nasb@1John:2:24 @As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

nasb@1John:2:25 @This is the promise which He Himself made to us- eternal life.

nasb@1John:2:26 @These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you.

nasb@1John:2:27 @As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.

nasb@1John:2:28 @Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.

nasb@1John:2:29 @If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him.

nasb@1John:3:1 @See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

nasb@1John:3:2 @Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.

nasb@1John:3:3 @And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

nasb@1John:3:5 @You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.

nasb@1John:3:7 @Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous;

nasb@1John:3:8 @the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.

nasb@1John:3:9 @No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

nasb@1John:3:10 @By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious- anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.

nasb@1John:3:11 @For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

nasb@1John:3:12 @not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous.

nasb@1John:3:13 @Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.

nasb@1John:3:14 @We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.

nasb@1John:3:15 @Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

nasb@1John:3:16 @We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

nasb@1John:3:17 @But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?

nasb@1John:3:19 @We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him

nasb@1John:3:20 @in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things.

nasb@1John:3:21 @Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

nasb@1John:3:22 @and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.

nasb@1John:3:23 @This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.

nasb@1John:3:24 @The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

nasb@1John:4:1 @Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

nasb@1John:4:2 @By this you know the Spirit of God- every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;

nasb@1John:4:3 @and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

nasb@1John:4:4 @You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

nasb@1John:4:5 @They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.

nasb@1John:4:6 @We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

nasb@1John:4:7 @Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

nasb@1John:4:8 @The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

nasb@1John:4:9 @By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.

nasb@1John:4:10 @In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

nasb@1John:4:11 @Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

nasb@1John:4:12 @No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.

nasb@1John:4:13 @By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

nasb@1John:4:14 @We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

nasb@1John:4:15 @Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

nasb@1John:4:16 @We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

nasb@1John:4:17 @By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.

nasb@1John:4:18 @There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.

nasb@1John:4:19 @We love, because He first loved us.

nasb@1John:4:20 @If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

nasb@1John:4:21 @And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.

nasb@1John:5:1 @Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.

nasb@1John:5:2 @By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.

nasb@1John:5:3 @For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.

nasb@1John:5:4 @For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

nasb@1John:5:5 @Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

nasb@1John:5:6 @This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

nasb@1John:5:7 @For there are three that testify-

nasb@1John:5:8 @the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

nasb@1John:5:9 @If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son.

nasb@1John:5:10 @The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.

nasb@1John:5:11 @And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

nasb@1John:5:12 @He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

nasb@1John:5:13 @These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

nasb@1John:5:14 @This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

nasb@1John:5:15 @And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

nasb@1John:5:16 @If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this.

nasb@1John:5:17 @All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.

nasb@1John:5:18 @We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.

nasb@1John:5:19 @We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

nasb@1John:5:20 @And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

nasb@2John:1:1 @The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not only I, but also all who know the truth,

nasb@2John:1:2 @for the sake of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever-

nasb@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.

nasb@2John:1:4 @I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment to do from the Father.

nasb@2John:1:5 @Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.

nasb@2John:1:6 @And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

nasb@2John:1:7 @For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

nasb@2John:1:8 @Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward.

nasb@2John:1:9 @Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.

nasb@2John:1:11 @for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.

nasb@2John:1:13 @The children of your chosen sister greet you.

nasb@1John:1:1 @The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.

nasb@1John:1:2 @Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.

nasb@1John:1:3 @For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth.

nasb@1John:1:4 @I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

nasb@1John:1:5 @Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers;

nasb@1John:1:6 @and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

nasb@1John:1:7 @For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

nasb@1John:1:8 @Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers with the truth.

nasb@1John:1:9 @I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say.

nasb@1John:1:10 @For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not receive the brethren, either, and he forbids those who desire to do so and puts them out of the church.

nasb@1John:1:11 @Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

nasb@1John:1:12 @Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

nasb@1John:1:13 @I had many things to write to you, but I am not willing to write them to you with pen and ink;

nasb@1John:1:15 @Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

nasb@Jude:1:1 @Jude, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ-

nasb@Jude:1:3 @Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints.

nasb@Jude:1:4 @For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

nasb@Jude:1:5 @Now I desire to remind you, though you know all things once for all, that the Lord, after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently destroyed those who did not believe.

nasb@Jude:1:6 @And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day,

nasb@Jude:1:7 @just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

nasb@Jude:1:8 @Yet in the same way these men, also by dreaming, defile the flesh, and reject authority, and revile angelic majesties.

nasb@Jude:1:9 @But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, " The Lord rebuke you!"

nasb@Jude:1:10 @But these men revile the things which they do not understand; and the things which they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed.

nasb@Jude:1:11 @Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

nasb@Jude:1:12 @These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted;

nasb@Jude:1:13 @wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever.

nasb@Jude:1:14 @It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, " Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones,

nasb@Jude:1:15 @to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

nasb@Jude:1:16 @These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.

nasb@Jude:1:17 @But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@Jude:1:18 @that they were saying to you, " In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts."

nasb@Jude:1:19 @These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit.

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

nasb@Jude:1:21 @keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

nasb@Jude:1:23 @save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.

nasb@Jude:1:24 @Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy,

nasb@Jude:1:25 @to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

nasb@Revelation:1:1 @The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John,
