bbe@Romans:1:3 @About his Son who, in the flesh, came from the family of David,

bbe@Romans:1:5 @Through whom grace has been given to us, sending us out to make disciples to the faith among all nations, for his name:

bbe@Romans:1:6 @Among whom you in the same way have been marked out to be disciples of Jesus Christ:

bbe@Romans:1:7 @To all those who are in Rome, loved by God, marked out as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:1:9 @For God is my witness, whose servant I am in spirit in the good news of his Son, that you are at all times in my memory and in my prayers,

bbe@Romans:1:10 @And that I am ever making prayers that God will give me a good journey to you.

bbe@Romans:1:11 @For I have a strong desire to see you, and to give you some grace of the spirit, so that you may be made strong;

bbe@Romans:1:12 @That is to say, that all of us may be comforted together by the faith which is in you and in me.

bbe@Romans:1:13 @You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations.

bbe@Romans:1:15 @For which reason I have the desire, as far as I am able, to give the knowledge of the good news to you who are in Rome.

bbe@Romans:1:16 @For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first, and then to the Greek.

bbe@Romans:1:18 @For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing;

bbe@Romans:1:20 @For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing:

bbe@Romans:1:24 @For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another:

bbe@Romans:1:26 @For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural:

bbe@Romans:1:27 @And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing.

bbe@Romans:1:29 @Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others;

bbe@Romans:1:31 @Without knowledge, not true to their undertakings, unkind, having no mercy:

bbe@Romans:2:1 @So you have no reason, whoever you are, for judging: for in judging another you are judging yourself, for you do the same things.

bbe@Romans:2:8 @But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,

bbe@Romans:2:12 @All those who have done wrong without the law will get destruction without the law: and those who have done wrong under the law will have their punishment by the law;

bbe@Romans:2:15 @Because the work of the law is seen in their hearts, their sense of right and wrong giving witness to it, while their minds are at one time judging them and at another giving them approval;

bbe@Romans:2:16 @In the day when God will be a judge of the secrets of men, as it says in the good news of which I am a preacher, through Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:2:17 @But as for you who have the name of Jew, and are resting on the law, and take pride in God,

bbe@Romans:2:24 @For the name of God is shamed among the Gentiles because of you, as it is said in the holy Writings.

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

bbe@Romans:3:3 @And if some have no faith, will that make the faith of God without effect?

bbe@Romans:3:5 @But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)?

bbe@Romans:3:8 @Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment.

bbe@Romans:3:19 @Now, we have knowledge that what the law says is for those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all men may be judged by God:

bbe@Romans:3:20 @Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

bbe@Romans:3:25 @Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

bbe@Romans:3:29 @Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not in the same way the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles:

bbe@Romans:4:9 @Is this blessing, then, for the circumcision only, or in the same way for those who have not circumcision? for we say that the faith of Abraham was put to his account as righteousness.

bbe@Romans:4:15 @For the outcome of the law is wrath; but where there is no law it will not be broken.

bbe@Romans:4:18 @Who without reason for hope, in faith went on hoping, so that he became the father of a number of nations, as it had been said, So will your seed be.

bbe@Romans:4:19 @And not being feeble in faith though his body seemed to him little better than dead (he being about a hundred years old) and Sarah was no longer able to have children:

bbe@Romans:4:24 @But for us in addition, to whose account it will be put, if we have faith in him who made Jesus our Lord come back again from the dead,

bbe@Romans:4:25 @Who was put to death for our evil-doing, and came to life again so that we might have righteousness.

bbe@Romans:5:2 @Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.

bbe@Romans:5:5 @And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

bbe@Romans:5:6 @For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.

bbe@Romans:5:7 @Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.

bbe@Romans:5:9 @Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.

bbe@Romans:5:12 @For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

bbe@Romans:5:13 @Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.

bbe@Romans:5:14 @But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who was to come.

bbe@Romans:5:15 @But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

bbe@Romans:5:16 @And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

bbe@Romans:5:17 @For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:5:18 @So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.

bbe@Romans:5:19 @Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

bbe@Romans:5:20 @And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:

bbe@Romans:6:4 @We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.

bbe@Romans:6:5 @For, if we have been made like him in his death, we will, in the same way, be like him in his coming to life again;

bbe@Romans:6:9 @Having knowledge that because Christ has come back from the dead, he will never again go down to the dead; death has no more power over him.

bbe@Romans:6:13 @And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

bbe@Romans:6:19 @I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.

bbe@Romans:6:21 @What fruit had you at that time in the things which are now a shame to you? for the end of such things is death.

bbe@Romans:7:1 @Is it not clear, my brothers (I am using an argument to those who have knowledge of the law), that the law has power over a man as long as he is living?

bbe@Romans:7:3 @So if, while the husband is living, she is joined to another man, she will get the name of one who is untrue to her husband: but if the husband is dead, she is free from the law, so that she is not untrue, even if she takes another man.

bbe@Romans:7:4 @In the same way, my brothers, you were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, even to him who came again from the dead, so that we might give fruit to God.

bbe@Romans:7:5 @For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.

bbe@Romans:7:8 @But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.

bbe@Romans:7:9 @And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;

bbe@Romans:7:10 @And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:

bbe@Romans:7:13 @Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.

bbe@Romans:7:16 @But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good

bbe@Romans:7:17 @So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

bbe@Romans:7:18 @For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right.

bbe@Romans:7:20 @But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

bbe@Romans:7:21 @So I see a law that, though I have a mind to do good, evil is present in me.

bbe@Romans:7:23 @But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.

bbe@Romans:7:24 @How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death?

bbe@Romans:8:2 @For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

bbe@Romans:8:11 @But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.

bbe@Romans:8:13 @For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life.

bbe@Romans:8:17 @And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

bbe@Romans:8:18 @I am of the opinion that there is no comparison between the pain of this present time and the glory which we will see in the future

bbe@Romans:8:23 @And not only so, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we have sorrow in our minds, waiting for the time when we will take our place as sons, that is, the salvation of our bodies.

bbe@Romans:8:26 @And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;

bbe@Romans:8:27 @And he who is the searcher of hearts has knowledge of the mind of the Spirit, because he is making prayers for the saints in agreement with the mind of God.

bbe@Romans:8:29 @Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

bbe@Romans:8:30 @And those who were marked out by him were named; and those who were named were given righteousness; and to those to whom he gave righteousness, in the same way he gave glory.

bbe@Romans:8:34 @Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.

bbe@Romans:8:35 @Who will come between us and the love of Christ? Will trouble, or pain, or cruel acts, or the need of food or of clothing, or danger, or the sword?

bbe@Romans:8:37 @But we are able to overcome all these things and more through his love.

bbe@Romans:8:38 @For I am certain that not death, or life, or angels, or rulers, or things present, or things to come, or powers,

bbe@Romans:8:39 @Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

bbe@Romans:9:1 @I say what is true in Christ, and not what is false, my mind giving witness with me in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Romans:9:4 @Who are Israelites: who have the place of sons, and the glory, and the agreements with God, and the giving of the law, and the worship, and the hope offered by God:

bbe@Romans:9:5 @Whose are the fathers, and of whom came Christ in the flesh, who is over all, God, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

bbe@Romans:9:7 @And they are not all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac will your seed be named.

bbe@Romans:9:8 @That is, it is not the children of the flesh, but the children of God's undertaking, who are named as the seed.

bbe@Romans:9:9 @For this is the word of God's undertaking, At this time will I come, and Sarah will have a son.

bbe@Romans:9:11 @Before the children had come into existence, or had done anything good or bad, in order that God's purpose and his selection might be effected, not by works, but by him whose purpose it is,

bbe@Romans:9:15 @For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and pity on whom I will have pity.

bbe@Romans:9:16 @So then, it is not by the desire or by the attempt of man, but by the mercy of God.

bbe@Romans:9:17 @For the holy Writings say to Pharaoh, For this same purpose did I put you on high, so that I might make my power seen in you, and that there might be knowledge of my name through all the earth.

bbe@Romans:9:18 @So then, at his pleasure he has mercy on a man, and at his pleasure he makes the heart hard.

bbe@Romans:9:19 @But you will say to me, Why does he still make us responsible? who is able to go against his purpose?

bbe@Romans:9:20 @But, O man, who are you, to make answer against God? May the thing which is made say to him who made it, Why did you make me so?

bbe@Romans:9:21 @Or has not the potter the right to make out of one part of his earth a vessel for honour, and out of another a vessel for shame?

bbe@Romans:9:22 @What if God, desiring to let his wrath and his power be seen, for a long time put up with the vessels of wrath which were ready for destruction:

bbe@Romans:9:23 @And to make clear the wealth of his glory to vessels of mercy, which he had before made ready for glory,

bbe@Romans:9:25 @As he says in Hosea, They will be named my people who were not my people, and she will be loved who was not loved.

bbe@Romans:9:26 @And in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there they will be named the sons of the living God.

bbe@Romans:9:32 @Why? Because they were not searching for it by faith, but by works. They came up against the stone which was in the way;

bbe@Romans:9:33 @As it is said, See, I am putting in Zion a stone causing a fall, and a rock in the way: but he who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

bbe@Romans:10:6 @But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down:)

bbe@Romans:10:7 @Or, Who will go down into the deep? (that is, to make Christ come again from the dead:)

bbe@Romans:10:9 @Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:

bbe@Romans:10:11 @Because it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has faith in him will not be shamed.

bbe@Romans:10:12 @And the Jew is not different from the Greek: for there is the same Lord of all, who is good to all who have hope in his name:

bbe@Romans:10:13 @Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation.

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

bbe@Romans:10:18 @But I say, Did not the word come to their ears? Yes, certainly: Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

bbe@Romans:10:20 @And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.

bbe@Romans:11:3 @Lord, they have put your prophets to death, and made waste your altars, and now I am the last, and they are searching for me to take away my life.

bbe@Romans:11:4 @But what answer does God make to him? I have still seven thousand men whose knees have not been bent to Baal.

bbe@Romans:11:5 @In the same way, there are at this present time some who are marked out by the selection of grace.

bbe@Romans:11:9 @And David says, Let their table be made a net for taking them, and a stone in their way, and a punishment:

bbe@Romans:11:10 @Let their eyes be made dark so that they may not see, and let their back be bent down at all times.

bbe@Romans:11:11 @So I say, Were their steps made hard in order that they might have a fall? In no way: but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, so that they might be moved to envy

bbe@Romans:11:14 @If in any way those who are of my flesh may be moved to envy, so that some of them may get salvation by me.

bbe@Romans:11:15 @For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?

bbe@Romans:11:17 @But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

bbe@Romans:11:21 @For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.

bbe@Romans:11:22 @See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

bbe@Romans:11:25 @For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;

bbe@Romans:11:26 @And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:

bbe@Romans:11:27 @And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.

bbe@Romans:11:29 @Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.

bbe@Romans:11:30 @For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,

bbe@Romans:11:31 @So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.

bbe@Romans:11:32 @For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all.

bbe@Romans:12:1 @For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

bbe@Romans:12:3 @But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith.

bbe@Romans:12:4 @For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,

bbe@Romans:12:6 @And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;

bbe@Romans:12:8 @He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy.

bbe@Romans:12:12 @Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer,

bbe@Romans:12:16 @Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.

bbe@Romans:12:17 @Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.

bbe@Romans:12:18 @As far as it is possible for you be at peace with all men.

bbe@Romans:12:19 @Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.

bbe@Romans:12:21 @Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.

bbe@Romans:13:2 @For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves.

bbe@Romans:13:4 @For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer.

bbe@Romans:13:6 @For the same reason, make payment of taxes; because the authority is God's servant, to take care of such things at all times.

bbe@Romans:13:7 @Give to all what is their right: taxes to him whose they are, payment to him whose right it is, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour is to be given.

bbe@Romans:13:11 @See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith.

bbe@Romans:14:5 @This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.

bbe@Romans:14:8 @As long as we have life we are living to the Lord; or if we give up our life it is to the Lord; so if we are living, or if our life comes to an end, we are the Lord's.

bbe@Romans:14:9 @And for this purpose Christ went into death and came back again, that he might be the Lord of the dead and of the living.

bbe@Romans:14:11 @For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God.

bbe@Romans:14:16 @Let it not be possible for men to say evil about your good:

bbe@Romans:14:18 @And he who in these things is Christ's servant, is pleasing to God and has the approval of men.

bbe@Romans:14:20 @Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another.

bbe@Romans:14:21 @It is better not to take meat or wine or to do anything which might be a cause of trouble to your brother.

bbe@Romans:15:3 @For Christ did not give pleasure to himself, but, as it is said, The bitter words of those who were angry with you came on me.

bbe@Romans:15:4 @Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope.

bbe@Romans:15:5 @Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

bbe@Romans:15:9 @And so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercy; as it is said, For this reason I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, and I will make a song to your name.

bbe@Romans:15:12 @And again Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who comes to be the ruler over the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles put their hope.

bbe@Romans:15:15 @But I have, in some measure, less fear in writing to you to put these things before you again, because of the grace which was given to me by God,

bbe@Romans:15:18 @And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act,

bbe@Romans:15:20 @Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others;

bbe@Romans:15:21 @But as it is said in the holy Writings, They will see, to whom the news of him had not been given, and those to whose ears it had not come will have knowledge.

bbe@Romans:15:23 @But now, having no longer any place in these parts and having had for a number of years a great desire to come to you,

bbe@Romans:15:24 @Whenever I go to Spain (for it is my hope to see you on my way, and to be sent on there by you, if first I may in some measure have been comforted by your company)--

bbe@Romans:15:27 @Yes, it has been their good pleasure; and they are in their debt. For if the Gentiles have had a part in the things of the Spirit which were theirs, it is right for them, in the same way, to give them help in the things of the flesh.

bbe@Romans:15:29 @And I am certain that when I come, I will be full of the blessing of Christ.

bbe@Romans:15:30 @Now I make request to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you will be working together with me in your prayers to God for me;

bbe@Romans:15:32 @So that I may come to you in joy by the good pleasure of God, and have rest with you.

bbe@Romans:16:3 @Give my love to Prisca and Aquila, workers with me in Christ Jesus,

bbe@Romans:16:7 @Give my love to Andronicus and Junia, my relations, who were in prison with me, who are noted among the Apostles, and who were in Christ before me.

bbe@Romans:16:8 @Give my love to Ampliatus, who is dear to me in the Lord,

bbe@Romans:16:14 @Give my love to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.

bbe@Romans:16:21 @Timothy, who is working with me, sends his love to you, so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my relations

bbe@Romans:16:25 @Now to him who is able to make you strong in agreement with the good news which I gave you and the preaching of Jesus Christ, in the light of the revelation of that secret which has been kept through times eternal,

bbe@Romans:16:26 @But is now made clear; and by the writings of the prophets, by the order of the eternal God, the knowledge of it has been given to all the nations, so that they may come under the rule of the faith;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:2 @To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, saints by the selection of God, with all those who in every place give honour to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

bbe@1Corinthians:1:4 @I give praise to my God for you at all times, because of the grace of God which has been given to you in Christ Jesus;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:10 @Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:11 @Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:12 @That is, that some of you say, I am of Paul; some say, I am of Apollos; some say, I am of Cephas; and some say, I am Christ's.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:13 @Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul?

bbe@1Corinthians:1:14 @I give praise to God that not one of you had baptism from me, but Crispus and Gaius;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:15 @So that no one may be able to say that you had baptism in my name.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:16 @And I gave baptism to the house of Stephanas; but I am not certain that any others had baptism from me.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:17 @For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:25 @Because what seems foolish in God is wiser than men; and what seems feeble in God is stronger than men.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:27 @But God made selection of the foolish things of this world so that he might put the wise to shame; and the feeble things that he might put to shame the strong;

bbe@1Corinthians:2:1 @And when I came to you, my brothers, I did not come with wise words of knowledge, putting before you the secret of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:7 @But we give the news of the secret wisdom of God, which he had kept in store before the world came into existence, for our glory;

bbe@1Corinthians:2:9 @But as it says in the holy Writings, Things which the eye saw not, and which had not come to the ears or into the heart of man, such things as God has made ready for those who have love for him.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:11 @For who has knowledge of the things of a man but the spirit of the man which is in him? in the same way, no one has knowledge of the things of God but the Spirit of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:12 @But we have not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, so that we may have knowledge of the things which are freely given to us by God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:14 @For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:2 @I gave you milk and not meat, because you were, then, unable to take it, and even now you are not able;

bbe@1Corinthians:3:3 @Because you are still in the flesh: for when there is envy and division among you, are you not still walking after the way of the flesh, even as natural men?

bbe@1Corinthians:3:4 @For when one says, I am of Paul; and another says, I am of Apollos; are you not talking like natural men?

bbe@1Corinthians:3:8 @Now the planter and the waterer are working for the same end: but they will have their separate rewards in the measure of their work.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:10 @In the measure of the grace given to me, I, as a wise master-builder, have put the base in position, and another goes on building on it

bbe@1Corinthians:3:14 @If any man's work comes through the test, he will have a reward.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:18 @Let no man have a false idea. If any man seems to himself to be wise among you, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:21 @So let no one take pride in men. For all things are yours;

bbe@1Corinthians:3:22 @Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

bbe@1Corinthians:4:3 @But it is a small thing to me that I am judged by you or by man's judging; I am not even a judge of myself.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:4 @For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:5 @For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:9 @For it seems to me that God has put us the Apostles last of all, as men whose fate is death: for we are put on view to the world, and to angels, and to men.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:10 @We are made to seem foolish for Christ, but you are wise in Christ; we are feeble, but you are strong; you have glory, but we have shame

bbe@1Corinthians:4:12 @And with our hands we do the hardest work: when they give us curses we give blessings, when we undergo punishment we take it quietly;

bbe@1Corinthians:4:14 @I am not saying these things to put you to shame, but so that, as my dear children, you may see what is right.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:16 @So my desire is that you take me as your example.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:18 @Now some are full of pride, as if I was not coming to you.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:19 @But I will come to you in a short time, if it is pleasing to the Lord, and I will take note, not of the word of those who are full of pride, but of the power.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:21 @What is your desire? is my coming to be with punishment, or is it to be in love and a gentle spirit?

bbe@1Corinthians:5:3 @For I myself, being present in spirit though not in body, have come to a decision about him who has done this thing;

bbe@1Corinthians:5:4 @In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you have come together with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

bbe@1Corinthians:5:11 @But the sense of my letter was that if a brother had the name of being one who went after the desires of the flesh, or had the desire for other people's property, or was in the way of using violent language, or being the worse for drink, or took by force what was not his, you might not keep company with such a one, or take food with him.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:5 @I say this to put you to shame. Is there not among you one wise man who may be able to give a decision between his brothers?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:9 @Have you not knowledge that evil-doers will have no part in the kingdom of God? Have no false ideas about this: no one who goes after the desires of the flesh, or gives worship to images, or is untrue when married, or is less than a man, or makes a wrong use of men,

bbe@1Corinthians:6:11 @And such were some of you; but you have been washed, you have been made holy, you have been given righteousness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:12 @I am free to do all things; but not all things are wise. I am free to do all things; but I will not let myself come under the power of any.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:14 @And God who made the Lord Jesus come back from the dead will do the same for us by his power

bbe@1Corinthians:6:16 @Or do you not see that he who is joined to a loose woman is one body with her? for God has said, The two of them will become one flesh.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:20 @For a payment has been made for you: let God be honoured in your body.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:1 @Now, as to the things in your letter to me: It is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:3 @Let the husband give to the wife what is right; and let the wife do the same to the husband.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:4 @The wife has not power over her body, but the husband; and in the same way the husband has not power over his body, but the wife.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:5 @Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:7 @It is my desire that all men might be even as I am. But every man has the power of his special way of life given him by God, one in this way and one in that.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:16 @For how may you be certain, O wife, that you will not be the cause of salvation to your husband? or you, O husband, that you may not do the same for your wife?

bbe@1Corinthians:7:21 @If you were a servant when you became a Christian, let it not be a grief to you; but if you have a chance to become free, make use of it.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:22 @For he who was a servant when he became a Christian is the Lord's free man; and he who was free when he became a Christian is the Lord's servant.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:23 @It is the Lord who has made payment for you: be not servants of men.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:25 @Now about virgins I have no orders from the Lord: but I give my opinion as one to whom the Lord has given mercy to be true to him.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:29 @But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;

bbe@1Corinthians:7:31 @And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:34 @And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:37 @But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:40 @But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:5 @For though there are those who have the name of gods, in heaven or on earth, as there are a number of gods and a number of lords,

bbe@1Corinthians:8:7 @Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:13 @For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:3 @My answer to those who are judging me is this.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:7 @Who ever goes to war without looking to someone to be responsible for his payment? who puts in vines and does not take the fruit of them? or who takes care of sheep without drinking of their milk?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:8 @Am I talking as a man? does not the law say the same?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:15 @But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:16 @For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:18 @What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:19 @For though I was free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that more might have salvation.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:20 @And to the Jews I was as a Jew, so that I might give the good news to them; to those under the law I was the same, not as being myself under the law, but so that I might give the good news to those under the law

bbe@1Corinthians:9:22 @To the feeble, I was as one who is feeble, so that they might have salvation: I have been all things to all men, so that some at least might have salvation.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:3 @And they all took the same holy food;

bbe@1Corinthians:10:4 @And the same holy drink: for they all took of the water from the holy rock which came after them: and the rock was Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:5 @But with most of them God was not pleased: for they came to their end in the waste land.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:7 @Then do not go after false gods, as some of them did; as it is said in the holy Writings, After resting and feasting, the people got up to take their pleasure.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:8 @Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:9 @And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes

bbe@1Corinthians:10:10 @And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:11 @Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:13 @You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:15 @What I am saying is for wise men, do you be the judges of it.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:21 @It is not possible for you, at the same time, to take the cup of the Lord and the cup of evil spirits; you may not take part in the table of the Lord and the table of evil spirits.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:25 @Whatever meat may be had at the public market, take as food without question of right or wrong;

bbe@1Corinthians:10:30 @But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:33 @Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:1 @So take me for your example, even as I take Christ for mine.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:2 @Now I am pleased to see that you keep me in memory in all things, and that you give attention to the teaching which was handed down from me to you.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:4 @Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:5 @But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:6 @For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:8 @For the man did not come from the woman, but the woman from the man.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:14 @Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?

bbe@1Corinthians:11:17 @But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:18 @For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:20 @But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:

bbe@1Corinthians:11:21 @For when you take your food, everyone takes his meal before the other; and one has not enough food, and another is the worse for drink.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:22 @What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:23 @For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,

bbe@1Corinthians:11:24 @And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:25 @In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:26 @For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:29 @For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:31 @But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:32 @But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:33 @So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:34 @If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:4 @Now there are different qualities given to men, but the same Spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:5 @And there are different sorts of servants, but the same Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:6 @And there are different operations, but the same God, who is working all things in all.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:7 @But to every man some form of the Spirit's working is given for the common good.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:8 @For to one are given words of wisdom through the Spirit; and to another words of knowledge through the same Spirit:

bbe@1Corinthians:12:9 @To another faith in the same Spirit; and to another the power of taking away disease, by the one Spirit;

bbe@1Corinthians:12:11 @But all these are the operations of the one and the same Spirit, giving to every man separately as his pleasure is.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:13 @For through the baptism of the one Spirit we were all formed into one body, Jews or Greeks, servants or free men, and were all made full of the same Spirit

bbe@1Corinthians:12:16 @And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; it is a part of the body all the same.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:17 @If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? if all was hearing, where would be the smelling?

bbe@1Corinthians:12:23 @And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect;

bbe@1Corinthians:12:25 @So that there might be no division in the body; but all the parts might have the same care for one another.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:28 @And God has put some in the church, first, Apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then those with wonder-working powers, then those with the power of taking away disease, helpers, wise guides, users of strange tongues.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:1 @If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:3 @And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:8 @Though the prophet's word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:10 @But when that which is complete is come, then that which is in part will be no longer necessary.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:12 @For now we see things in a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now my knowledge is in part; then it will be complete, even as God's knowledge of me.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:2 @For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:3 @But the word of the prophet gives men knowledge and comfort and strength.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:5 @Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:6 @But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:7 @Even things without life, having a voice, such as a music-pipe or other instrument, if they do not give out different sounds, who may be certain what is being played?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:11 @But if the sense of the voice is not clear to me, I am like a man from a strange country to him who is talking, and he will be the same to me.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:13 @For this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:19 @But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:21 @In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:23 @If, then, the church has come together, and all are using tongues, and there come in men without knowledge or faith, will they not say that you are unbalanced?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:24 @But if all are teaching as prophets, and a man without faith or knowledge comes in, he is tested by all, he is judged by all;

bbe@1Corinthians:14:26 @What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:27 @If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:

bbe@1Corinthians:14:34 @Let women keep quiet in the churches: for it is not right for them to be talking; but let them be under control, as it says in the law.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:35 @And if they have a desire for knowledge about anything, let them put questions to their husbands privately: for talking in the church puts shame on a woman.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:36 @What? was it from you that the word of God went out? or did it only come in to you?

bbe@1Corinthians:15:3 @For I gave to you first of all what was handed down to me, how Christ underwent death for our sins, as it says in the Writings;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:4 @And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:6 @Then by more than five hundred brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, but some are sleeping;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:7 @Then he was seen by James; then by all the Apostles.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:8 @And last of all, as by one whose birth was out of the right time, he was seen by me.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:9 @For I am the least of the Apostles, having no right to be named an Apostle, because of my cruel attacks on the church of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:10 @But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace which was given to me has not been for nothing; for I did more work than all of them; though not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:12 @Now if the good news says that Christ came back from the dead, how do some of you say that there is no coming back from the dead?

bbe@1Corinthians:15:13 @But if there is no coming back from the dead, then Christ has not come back from the dead:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:14 @And if Christ did not come again from the dead, then our good news and your faith in it are of no effect.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:15 @Yes, and we are seen to be false witnesses of God; because we gave witness of God that by his power Christ came again from the dead: which is not true if there is no coming back from the dead.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:16 @For if it is not possible for the dead to come to life again, then Christ has not come to life again:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:19 @If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most unhappy

bbe@1Corinthians:15:20 @But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are sleeping.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:21 @For as by man came death, so by man there is a coming back from the dead.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:22 @For as in Adam death comes to all, so in Christ will all come back to life.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:24 @Then comes the end, when he will give up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have put an end to all rule and to all authority and power.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:26 @The last power to come to an end is death.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:29 @Again, what will they do who are given baptism for the dead? if the dead do not come back at all, why are people given baptism for them?

bbe@1Corinthians:15:31 @Yes, truly, by your pride in me, my brothers in Christ Jesus our Lord, my life is one long death.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:32 @If, after the way of men, I was fighting with beasts at Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not come to life again, let us take our pleasure in feasting, for tomorrow we come to an end.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:34 @Be awake to righteousness and keep yourselves from sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I say this to put you to shame.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:35 @But someone will say, How do the dead come back? and with what sort of body do they come?

bbe@1Corinthians:15:36 @Foolish man, it is necessary for the seed which you put into the earth to undergo death in order that it may come to life again:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:37 @And when you put it into the earth, you do not put in the body which it will be, but only the seed, of grain or some other sort of plant;

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

bbe@1Corinthians:15:42 @So is it with the coming back from the dead. It is planted in death; it comes again in life:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:43 @It is planted in shame; it comes again in glory: feeble when it is planted, it comes again in power:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:44 @It is planted a natural body; it comes again as a body of the spirit. If there is a natural body, there is equally a body of the spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:46 @But that which is natural comes before that which is of the spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:49 @And in the same way as we have taken on us the image of the man from the earth, so we will take on us the image of the one from heaven.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:51 @See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:52 @In a second, in the shutting of an eye, at the sound of the last horn: for at that sound the dead will come again, free for ever from the power of death, and we will be changed.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:53 @For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:54 @But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:57 @But praise be to God who gives us strength to overcome through our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:2 @On the first day of the week, let every one of you put by him in store, in measure as he has done well in business, so that it may not be necessary to get money together when I come.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:3 @And when I come, I will send the men of your selection with letters to take the money you have got together to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:4 @And if it is possible for me to go there, they will go with me.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:5 @But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia, for that is my purpose;

bbe@1Corinthians:16:6 @But I may be with you for a time, or even for the winter, so that you may see me on my way, wherever I go.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:7 @For it is not my desire to see you now, on my way; because it is my hope to be with you for some time, if that is the Lord's pleasure.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:9 @For a great and important door there is open to me, and there are a number of people against me.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:10 @Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear; because he is doing the Lord's work, even as I am:

bbe@1Corinthians:16:11 @See then that he has the honour which is right. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me: for I am looking for him with the brothers.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:12 @But as for Apollos, the brother, I had a great desire for him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his pleasure to come now; but he will come when he has a chance.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:13 @Be on the watch, unmoved in the faith, and be strong like men.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:22 @If any man has not love for the Lord, let him be cursed. Maran atha (our Lord comes).

bbe@2Corinthians:1:3 @Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort;

bbe@2Corinthians:1:5 @For as we undergo more of the pain which Christ underwent, so through Christ does our comfort become greater.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:6 @But if we are troubled, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which takes effect through your quiet undergoing of the same troubles which we undergo:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:8 @For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:11 @You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:13 @For in our letters we say no other things to you, but those which you are reading, and to which you give agreement, and, it is my hope, will go on doing so to the end:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:14 @Even as you have been ready, in part, to say that we are your glory, in the same way that you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:15 @And being certain of this, it was my purpose to come to you before, so that you might have a second grace;

bbe@2Corinthians:1:16 @And by way of Corinth to go into Macedonia, and from there to come back again to you, so that you might send me on my way to Judaea.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:23 @But God is my witness that it was in pity for you that I did not come to Corinth at that time.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:1 @But it was my decision for myself, not to come again to you with sorrow.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:2 @For if I give you sorrow, who then will make me glad, but he who is made sad by me?

bbe@2Corinthians:2:3 @And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:5 @But if anyone has been a cause of sorrow, he has been so, not to me only, but in some measure to all of you (I say this that I may not be over-hard on you).

bbe@2Corinthians:2:6 @Let it be enough for such a man to have undergone the punishment which the church put on him;

bbe@2Corinthians:2:9 @And for the same reason I sent you a letter so that I might be certain of your desire to do my orders in all things.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:10 @But if you give forgiveness to anyone, I do the same: for if I have given forgiveness for anything, I have done it because of you, in the person of Christ;

bbe@2Corinthians:2:12 @Now when I came to Troas for the good news of Christ, and there was an open door for me in the Lord,

bbe@2Corinthians:2:13 @I had no rest in my spirit because Titus my brother was not there: so I went away from them, and came into Macedonia.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:14 @But praise be to God who makes us strong to overcome in Christ, and makes clear through us in every place the value of the knowledge of him.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:15 @For we are a sweet perfume of Christ to God in those who are getting salvation and in those who are going to destruction;

bbe@2Corinthians:2:16 @To the one it is a perfume of death to death; to the other a perfume of life to life. And who is enough for such things?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:1 @Do we seem to be again attempting to put ourselves in the right? or have we need, as some have, of letters of approval to you or from you?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:5 @Not as if we were able by ourselves to do anything for which we might take the credit; but our power comes from God;

bbe@2Corinthians:3:6 @Who has made us able to be servants of a new agreement; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter gives death, but the Spirit gives life.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:7 @For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the eyes of the children of Israel had to be turned away from the face of Moses because of its glory, a glory which was only for a time:

bbe@2Corinthians:3:9 @For if the operation of the law, producing punishment, had its glory, how much greater will be the operation of the Spirit causing righteousness?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:10 @For the glory of the first no longer seems to be glory, because of the greater glory of that which comes after

bbe@2Corinthians:3:11 @For if the order which was for a time had its glory, much more will the eternal order have its glory.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:14 @But their minds were made hard: for to this very day at the reading of the old agreement the same veil is still unlifted; though it is taken away in Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:18 @But we all, with unveiled face giving back as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord who is the Spirit.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:1 @For this reason, because we have been made servants of this new order, through the mercy given to us, we are strong:

bbe@2Corinthians:4:2 @And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:7 @But we have this wealth in vessels of earth, so that it may be seen that the power comes not from us but from God;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:13 @But having the same spirit of faith, as it is said in the Writings, The words of my mouth came from the faith in my heart; in the same way, our words are the outcome of our faith;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:14 @Because we are certain that he who made the Lord Jesus come back from the dead, will do the same for us, and will give us a place in his glory with you.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:17 @For our present trouble, which is only for a short time, is working out for us a much greater weight of glory;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:18 @While our minds are not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are for a time; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:4 @For truly, we who are in this tent do give out cries of weariness, for the weight of care which is on us; not because we are desiring to be free from the body, but so that we may have our new body, and death may be overcome by life.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:5 @Now he who has made us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a witness of what is to come.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:10 @For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:11 @Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:15 @And that he underwent death for all, so that the living might no longer be living to themselves, but to him who underwent death for them and came back from the dead.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:16 @For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:17 @So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:20 @So we are the representatives of Christ, as if God was making a request to you through us: we make our request to you, in the name of Christ, be at peace with God.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:21 @For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:2 @(For he says, I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: see, now is the good time; now is the day of salvation):

bbe@2Corinthians:6:8 @By glory and by shame, by an evil name and a good name; as untrue, and still true;

bbe@2Corinthians:6:9 @Unnoted, but still kept fully in mind; as near to death, but still living; as undergoing punishment, but not put to death;

bbe@2Corinthians:6:13 @Now to give me back payment of the same sort (I am talking as to my children), let your hearts be wide open to me.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:15 @And what agreement is there between Christ and the Evil One? or what part has one who has faith with one who has not?

bbe@2Corinthians:6:16 @And what agreement has the house of God with images? for we are a house of the living God; even as God has said, I will be living among them, and walking with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:17 @For which cause, Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and let no unclean thing come near you; and I will take you for myself,

bbe@2Corinthians:7:1 @Because God, then, will give us such rewards, dear brothers, let us make ourselves clean from all evil of flesh and spirit, and become completely holy in the fear of God.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:5 @For even when we had come into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; there were fightings outside and fears inside.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:7 @And not by his coming only, but by the comfort which he had in you, while he gave us word of your desire, your sorrow, your care for me; so that I was still more glad.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:8 @For though my letter gave you pain, I have no regret for it now, though I had before; for I see that the letter gave you pain, but only for a time.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:11 @For you see what care was produced in you by this very sorrow of yours before God, what clearing of yourselves, what wrath against sin, what fear, what desire, what serious purpose, what punishment. In everything you have made it clear that you are free from sin in this business.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:14 @For I was not put to shame in anything in which I may have made clear to him my pride in you; but as we said nothing to you but what was true, so the good things which I said to Titus about you were seen by him to be true.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:15 @And his love to you is the more increased by his memory of you all, how you gave way to his authority, and how you took him to your hearts with fear and honour.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:16 @It gives me great joy to see you answering to my good opinion of you in every way

bbe@2Corinthians:8:7 @And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:9 @For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:12 @For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:13 @And I am not saying this so that others may get off free, while the weight comes on you:

bbe@2Corinthians:8:14 @But so that things may be equal; that from those things of which you have more than enough at the present time their need may be helped, and that if you are in any need they may be a help to you in the same way, making things equal.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:16 @But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:21 @For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:22 @And we have sent with them our brother, whose ready spirit has been made clear to us at times and in ways without number, but it is now all the more so because of the certain faith which he has in you.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:23 @If any question comes up about Titus, he is my brother-worker, working with me for you; or about the others, they are the representatives of the churches to the glory of Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:1 @But there is no need for me to say anything in my letter about the giving to the saints:

bbe@2Corinthians:9:2 @For I have before made clear to those of Macedonia my pride in your ready mind, saying to them that Achaia has been ready for a year back; and a great number have been moved to do the same by your example.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:4 @For fear that, if any from Macedonia come with me, and you are not ready, we (not to say, you) might be put to shame in this thing.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:5 @So it seemed to me wise for the brothers to go before, and see that the amount which you had undertaken to give was ready, so that it might be a cause for praise, and not as if we were making profit out of you.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:6 @But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:8 @And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:

bbe@2Corinthians:9:10 @And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness;

bbe@2Corinthians:10:2 @Yes, I make my request to you, so that when I am with you I may not have to make use of the authority which may be needed against some to whom we seem to be walking after the flesh.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:5 @Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ;

bbe@2Corinthians:10:6 @Being ready to give punishment to whatever is against his authority, after you have made it clear that you are completely under his control.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:8 @For though I might take pride in our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for your destruction), it will not be a cause of shame to me:

bbe@2Corinthians:10:12 @For we will not make comparison of ourselves with some of those who say good things about themselves: but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and making comparison of themselves with themselves, are not wise.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:13 @We will not give glory to ourselves in over-great measure, but after the measure of the rule which God has given us, a measure which comes even to you.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:14 @For we have no need to make ourselves seem more than we are, as if our authority did not come as far as to you: for we came even as far as you with the good news of Christ:

bbe@2Corinthians:11:1 @Put up with me if I am a little foolish: but, truly, you do put up with me.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:2 @For I have a very great care for you: because you have been married by me to one husband, and it is my desire to give you completely holy to Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:3 @But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:4 @For if anyone comes preaching another Jesus from the one whose preachers we are, or if you have got a different spirit, or a different sort of good news from those which came to you, how well you put up with these things.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:8 @I took money from other churches as payment for my work, so that I might be your servant;

bbe@2Corinthians:11:9 @And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:10 @As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:12 @But what I do, that I will go on doing, so that I may give no chance to those who are looking for one; so that, in the cause of their pride, they may be seen to be the same as we are.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:13 @For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:16 @I say again, Let me not seem foolish to anyone; but if I do, put up with me as such, so that I may take a little glory to myself.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:18 @Seeing that there are those who take credit to themselves after the flesh, I will do the same.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:21 @I say this by way of shaming ourselves, as if we had been feeble. But if anyone puts himself forward (I am talking like a foolish person), I will do the same.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:23 @Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:24 @Five times the Jews gave me forty blows but one.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:25 @Three times I was whipped with rods, once I was stoned, three times the ship I was in came to destruction at sea, a night and a day I have been in the water;

bbe@2Corinthians:11:26 @In frequent travels, in dangers on rivers, in dangers from outlaws, in dangers from my countrymen, in dangers from the Gentiles, in dangers in the town, in dangers in the waste land, in dangers at sea, in dangers among false brothers;

bbe@2Corinthians:11:28 @In addition to all the other things, there is that which comes on me every day, the care of all the churches.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:32 @In Damascus, the ruler under Aretas the king kept watch over the town of the people of Damascus, in order to take me:

bbe@2Corinthians:12:1 @As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:4 @How he was taken up into Paradise, and words came to his ears which may not be said, and which man is not able to say.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:6 @For if I had a desire to take credit to myself, it would not be foolish, for I would be saying what is true: but I will not, for fear that I might seem to any man more than he sees me to be, or has word from me that I am.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:7 @And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:8 @And about this thing I made request to the Lord three times that it might be taken away from me.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:9 @And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:11 @I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:13 @For what is there in which you were made less than the other churches, but in the one thing that I was not a trouble to you? Let me have forgiveness for this wrong

bbe@2Corinthians:12:14 @This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:16 @But let it be so, that I was not a trouble to you myself; but (someone may say) being false, I took you with deceit.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:18 @I gave orders to Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus make any profit out of you? were we not guided by the same Spirit, in the same ways?

bbe@2Corinthians:12:19 @It may seem to you that all this time we have been attempting to put ourselves in the right; but we are saying these things before God in Christ. For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:20 @For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;

bbe@2Corinthians:12:21 @And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:1 @This is the third time that I am coming to you. From the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be made certain.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:2 @I said before, and still say it before I come, as being present for the second time, though I am still away from you, to those who have done wrong before, and to all the others, that if I come again I will not have pity;

bbe@2Corinthians:13:3 @Seeing that you are looking for a sign of Christ giving out his word in me; who is not feeble in relation to you, but is strong in you:

bbe@2Corinthians:13:10 @For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:11 @Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

bbe@Galatians:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),

bbe@Galatians:1:2 @And all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

bbe@Galatians:1:6 @I am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;

bbe@Galatians:1:7 @Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.

bbe@Galatians:1:10 @Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

bbe@Galatians:1:12 @For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

bbe@Galatians:1:13 @For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:

bbe@Galatians:1:14 @And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from my fathers.

bbe@Galatians:1:16 @To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of flesh and blood,

bbe@Galatians:1:17 @And I went not up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and again I came back to Damascus.

bbe@Galatians:1:19 @But of the other Apostles I saw only James, the Lord's brother.

bbe@Galatians:1:21 @Then I came to the parts of Syria and Cilicia.

bbe@Galatians:1:23 @Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

bbe@Galatians:1:24 @And they gave glory to God in me.

bbe@Galatians:2:1 @Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me.

bbe@Galatians:2:2 @And I went up by revelation; and I put before them the good news which I was preaching among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were of good name, so that the work which I was or had been doing might not be without effect.

bbe@Galatians:2:3 @But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was made to undergo circumcision:

bbe@Galatians:2:4 @And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;

bbe@Galatians:2:6 @But from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were has no weight with me: God does not take man's person into account): those who seemed to be important gave nothing new to me;

bbe@Galatians:2:8 @(Because he who was working in Peter as the Apostle of the circumcision was working no less in me among the Gentiles);

bbe@Galatians:2:9 @When they saw the grace which was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who had the name of being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas their right hands as friends so that we might go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

bbe@Galatians:2:11 @But when Cephas came to Antioch, I made a protest against him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.

bbe@Galatians:2:12 @For before certain men came from James, he did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

bbe@Galatians:2:13 @And the rest of the Jews went after him, so that even Barnabas was overcome by their false ways.

bbe@Galatians:2:14 @But when I saw that they were not living uprightly in agreement with the true words of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, If you, being a Jew, are living like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, how will you make the Gentiles do the same as the Jews?

bbe@Galatians:2:19 @For I, through the law, have become dead to the law, so that I might be living to God.

bbe@Galatians:2:20 @I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.

bbe@Galatians:3:2 @Give me an answer to this one question, Did the Spirit come to you through the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

bbe@Galatians:3:7 @Be certain, then, that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

bbe@Galatians:3:13 @Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree:

bbe@Galatians:3:14 @So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.

bbe@Galatians:3:15 @Brothers, as men would say, even a man's agreement, when it has been made certain, may not be put on one side, or have additions made to it.

bbe@Galatians:3:17 @Now this I say: The law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not put an end to the agreement made before by God, so as to make the undertaking without effect.

bbe@Galatians:3:23 @But before faith came, we were kept in prison under the law, waiting for the revelation of the faith which was to come.

bbe@Galatians:3:25 @But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a servant.

bbe@Galatians:4:2 @But is under keepers and managers till the time fixed by the father.

bbe@Galatians:4:4 @But when the time had come, God sent out his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

bbe@Galatians:4:8 @But at that time, having no knowledge of God, you were servants to those who by right are no gods:

bbe@Galatians:4:9 @But now that you have come to have knowledge of God, or more truly, God has knowledge of you, how is it that you go back again to the poor and feeble first things, desiring to be servants to them again?

bbe@Galatians:4:10 @You keep days, and months, and fixed times, and years

bbe@Galatians:4:12 @My desire for you, brothers, is that you may be as I am, because I am as you are. You have done me no wrong;

bbe@Galatians:4:13 @But you have knowledge that with a feeble body I was preaching the good news to you the first time;

bbe@Galatians:4:14 @And you did not have a poor opinion of me because of the trouble in my flesh, or put shame on it; but you took me to your hearts as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

bbe@Galatians:4:15 @Where then is that happy condition of yours? because I give you witness, that, if possible, you would have taken out your eyes and given them to me.

bbe@Galatians:4:18 @But it is good to have an interest in a good cause at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

bbe@Galatians:4:19 @My children, of whom I am again in birth-pains till Christ is formed in you,

bbe@Galatians:4:24 @Which things have a secret sense; because these women are the two agreements; one from the mountain of Sinai, giving birth to servants, which is Hagar.

bbe@Galatians:5:8 @This ready belief did not come from him who had made you his.

bbe@Galatians:5:10 @I am certain about you in the Lord, that you will be of no other mind; but he who is troubling you will have his punishment, whoever he is.

bbe@Galatians:5:11 @But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.

bbe@Galatians:5:16 @But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.

bbe@Galatians:6:3 @For if a man has an idea that he is something when he is nothing, he is tricked by himself.

bbe@Galatians:6:9 @And let us not get tired of well-doing; for at the right time we will get in the grain, if we do not give way to weariness.

bbe@Galatians:6:10 @So then, as we have the chance, let us do good to all men, and specially to those who are of the family of the faith.

bbe@Galatians:6:14 @But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it

bbe@Galatians:6:16 @And on all who are guided by this rule be peace and mercy, and on the Israel of God.

bbe@Galatians:6:17 @From this time on let no man be a trouble to me; because my body is marked with the marks of Jesus.

bbe@Ephesians:1:8 @Which he gave us in full measure in all wisdom and care;

bbe@Ephesians:1:9 @Having made clear to us the secret of his purpose, in agreement with the design which he had in mind, to put into his hands

bbe@Ephesians:1:10 @The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,

bbe@Ephesians:1:11 @In whom we have a heritage, being marked out from the first in his purpose who does all things in agreement with his designs;

bbe@Ephesians:1:20 @By which he made Christ come back from the dead, and gave him a place at his right hand in heaven,

bbe@Ephesians:1:21 @Far over all rule and authority and power and every name which is named, not only in the present order, but in that which is to come:

bbe@Ephesians:1:23 @Which is his body, the full measure of him in whom all things are made complete.

bbe@Ephesians:2:3 @Among whom we all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest.

bbe@Ephesians:2:4 @But God, being full of mercy, through the great love which he had for us,

bbe@Ephesians:2:6 @So that we came back from death with him, and are seated with him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus;

bbe@Ephesians:2:7 @That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:

bbe@Ephesians:2:12 @That you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world.

bbe@Ephesians:2:13 @But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

bbe@Ephesians:2:16 @And that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division.

bbe@Ephesians:2:17 @And he came preaching peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near;

bbe@Ephesians:2:18 @Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.

bbe@Ephesians:2:21 @In whom all the building, rightly joined together, comes to be a holy house of God in the Lord;

bbe@Ephesians:3:2 @If that ordering of the grace of God has come to your knowledge, which was given to me for you,

bbe@Ephesians:3:3 @How by revelation the secret was made clear to me, as I said before in a short letter,

bbe@Ephesians:3:5 @Which in other generations was not given to the sons of men, but the revelation of it has now been made to his holy Apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

bbe@Ephesians:3:6 @Which is that the Gentiles have a part in the heritage, and in the same body, and in the same hope in Christ through the good news,

bbe@Ephesians:3:7 @Of which I was made a preacher, through that grace of God which was given to me in the measure of the working of his power.

bbe@Ephesians:3:8 @To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, so that I might make clear to the Gentiles the good news of the unending wealth of Christ:

bbe@Ephesians:3:9 @And make all men see what is the ordering of the secret which from the first has been kept in God who made all things;

bbe@Ephesians:3:12 @By whom we come near to God without fear through faith in him.

bbe@Ephesians:3:13 @For this reason it is my prayer that you may not become feeble because of my troubles for you, which are your glory.

bbe@Ephesians:3:15 @From whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

bbe@Ephesians:3:20 @Now to him who is able to do in full measure more than all our desires or thoughts, through the power which is working in us,

bbe@Ephesians:4:2 @With all gentle and quiet behaviour, taking whatever comes, putting up with one another in love;

bbe@Ephesians:4:7 @But to every one of us has grace been given in the measure of the giving of Christ.

bbe@Ephesians:4:8 @For this reason he says, He went up on high, taking his prisoners with him, and gave freely to men.

bbe@Ephesians:4:10 @He who went down is the same who went up far over all the heavens so that he might make all things complete

bbe@Ephesians:4:11 @And he gave some as Apostles, and some, prophets; and some, preachers of the good news; and some to give care and teaching;

bbe@Ephesians:4:13 @Till we all come to the harmony of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to full growth, to the full measure of Christ:

bbe@Ephesians:4:14 @So that we may be no longer children, sent this way and that, turned about by every wind of teaching, by the twisting and tricks of men, by the deceits of error;

bbe@Ephesians:4:15 @But saying true words in love, may come to full growth in him, who is the head, even Christ;

bbe@Ephesians:4:16 @Through whom all the body, being rightly formed and united together, by the full working of every part, is increased to the building up of itself in love.

bbe@Ephesians:4:22 @That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;

bbe@Ephesians:4:28 @Let him who was a thief be so no longer, but let him do good work with his hands, so that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

bbe@Ephesians:4:29 @Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

bbe@Ephesians:5:2 @And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.

bbe@Ephesians:5:3 @But evil acts of the flesh and all unclean things, or desire for others' property, let it not even be named among you, as is right for saints;

bbe@Ephesians:5:6 @Do not be turned from the right way by foolish words; for because of these things the punishment of God comes on those who do not put themselves under him.

bbe@Ephesians:5:7 @Have no part with such men;

bbe@Ephesians:5:8 @For you at one time were dark, but now are light in the Lord: let your behaviour be that of children of light

bbe@Ephesians:5:12 @For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words

bbe@Ephesians:5:14 @For this reason he says, Be awake, you who are sleeping, and come up from among the dead, and Christ will be your light.

bbe@Ephesians:5:16 @Making good use of the time, because the days are evil.

bbe@Ephesians:5:18 @And do not take overmuch wine by which one may be overcome, but be full of the Spirit;

bbe@Ephesians:5:19 @Joining with one another in holy songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your voice in songs and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

bbe@Ephesians:5:20 @Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

bbe@Ephesians:5:31 @For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

bbe@Ephesians:6:6 @Not only under your master's eye, as pleasers of men; but as servants of Christ, doing the pleasure of God from the heart;

bbe@Ephesians:6:7 @Doing your work readily, as to the Lord, and not to men:

bbe@Ephesians:6:9 @And, you masters, do the same things to them, not making use of violent words: in the knowledge that their Master and yours is in heaven, and he has no respect for a man's position.

bbe@Ephesians:6:11 @Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One.

bbe@Ephesians:6:18 @With prayers and deep desires, making requests at all times in the Spirit, and keeping watch, with strong purpose, in prayer for all the saints,

bbe@Ephesians:6:19 @And for me, that words may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make clear without fear the secret of the good news,

bbe@Ephesians:6:20 @For which I am a representative in chains, and that I may say without fear the things which it is right for me to say.

bbe@Philippians:1:3 @I give praise to my God at every memory of you,

bbe@Philippians:1:7 @So it is right for me to take thought for you all in this way, because I have you in my heart; for in my chains, and in my arguments before the judges in support of the good news, making clear that it is true, you all have your part with me in grace.

bbe@Philippians:1:8 @For God is my witness, how my love goes out to you all in the loving mercies of Christ Jesus.

bbe@Philippians:1:13 @So that it became clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of Christ;

bbe@Philippians:1:15 @Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:

bbe@Philippians:1:17 @But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.

bbe@Philippians:1:20 @In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.

bbe@Philippians:1:21 @For to me life is Christ and death is profit.

bbe@Philippians:1:26 @So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.

bbe@Philippians:1:27 @Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;

bbe@Philippians:1:30 @Fighting the same fight which you saw in me, and now have word of in me.

bbe@Philippians:2:1 @If then there is any comfort in Christ, any help given by love, any uniting of hearts in the Spirit, any loving mercies and pity,

bbe@Philippians:2:2 @Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;

bbe@Philippians:2:7 @But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;

bbe@Philippians:2:9 @For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name;

bbe@Philippians:2:10 @So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,

bbe@Philippians:2:12 @So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

bbe@Philippians:2:14 @Do all things without protests and arguments;

bbe@Philippians:2:18 @And in the same way do you be glad and have a part in my joy.

bbe@Philippians:2:22 @But his quality is clear to you; how, as a child is to its father, so he was a help to me in the work of the good news.

bbe@Philippians:2:23 @Him then I am hoping to send as quickly as possible, when I am able to see how things will go for me:

bbe@Philippians:2:24 @But I have faith in the Lord that I myself will come before long.

bbe@Philippians:2:25 @But it seemed to me necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, who has taken part with me in the work and in the fight, and your servant, sent by you for help in my need;

bbe@Philippians:2:27 @For in fact he was ill almost to death: but God had mercy on him; and not only on him but on me, so that I might not have grief on grief.

bbe@Philippians:2:30 @Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, putting his life in danger to make your care for me complete.

bbe@Philippians:3:1 @For the rest, my brothers, be glad in the Lord. Writing the same things to you is no trouble to me, and for you it is safe.

bbe@Philippians:3:7 @But those things which were profit to me, I gave up for Christ.

bbe@Philippians:3:8 @Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,

bbe@Philippians:3:12 @Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

bbe@Philippians:3:13 @Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

bbe@Philippians:3:15 @Then let us all, who have come to full growth, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, even this will God make clear to you:

bbe@Philippians:3:16 @Only, as far as we have got, let us be guided by the same rule.

bbe@Philippians:3:17 @Brothers, take me as your example, and take note of those who are walking after the example we have given.

bbe@Philippians:3:19 @Whose end is destruction, whose god is the stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, whose minds are fixed on the things of the earth.

bbe@Philippians:3:20 @For our country is in heaven; from where the Saviour for whom we are waiting will come, even the Lord Jesus Christ:

bbe@Philippians:3:21 @By whom this poor body of ours will be changed into the image of the body of his glory, in the measure of the working by which he is able to put all things under himself.

bbe@Philippians:4:1 @So my brothers, well loved and very dear to me, my joy and crown, be strong in the Lord, my loved ones.

bbe@Philippians:4:2 @I make request to Euodias and Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

bbe@Philippians:4:3 @And I make request to you, true helper in my work, to see to the needs of those women who took part with me in the good news, with Clement and the rest of my brother-workers whose names are in the book of life.

bbe@Philippians:4:4 @Be glad in the Lord at all times: again I say, Be glad.

bbe@Philippians:4:5 @Let your gentle behaviour be clear to all men. The Lord is near.

bbe@Philippians:4:9 @The things which came to you by my teaching and preaching, and which you saw in me, these things do, and the God of peace will be with you.

bbe@Philippians:4:10 @But I am very glad in the Lord that your care for me has come to life again; though you did in fact take thought for me, but you were not able to give effect to it

bbe@Philippians:4:12 @It is the same to me if I am looked down on or honoured; everywhere and in all things I have the secret of how to be full and how to go without food; how to have wealth and how to be in need.

bbe@Philippians:4:13 @I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.

bbe@Philippians:4:14 @But you did well to have care for me in my need.

bbe@Philippians:4:15 @And you have knowledge, Philippians, that when the good news first came to you, when I went away from Macedonia, no church took part with me in the business of giving to the saints, but you only;

bbe@Philippians:4:16 @Because even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to me in my need.

bbe@Philippians:4:18 @I have all things and more than enough: I am made full, having had from Epaphroditus the things which came from you, a perfume of a sweet smell, an offering well pleasing to God.

bbe@Philippians:4:21 @Give words of love to every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you their love.

bbe@Colossians:1:3 @We give praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, making prayer for you at all times,

bbe@Colossians:1:6 @Which has come to you; and which in all the world is giving fruit and increase, as it has done in you from the day when it came to your ears and you had true knowledge of the grace of God;

bbe@Colossians:1:11 @Full of strength in the measure of the great power of his glory, so that you may undergo all troubles with joy;

bbe@Colossians:1:18 @And he is the head of the body, the church: the starting point of all things, the first to come again from the dead; so that in all things he might have the chief place.

bbe@Colossians:1:19 @For God in full measure was pleased to be in him;

bbe@Colossians:1:23 @If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

bbe@Colossians:1:25 @Of which I became a servant by the purpose of God which was given to me for you, to give effect to the word of God,

bbe@Colossians:1:26 @The secret which has been kept from all times and generations, but has now been made clear to his saints,

bbe@Colossians:1:29 @And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.

bbe@Colossians:2:2 @So that their hearts may be comforted, and that being joined together in love, they may come to the full wealth of the certain knowledge of the secret of God, even Christ,

bbe@Colossians:2:7 @Rooted and based together in him, strong in the faith which the teaching gave you, giving praise to God at all times.

bbe@Colossians:2:8 @Take care that no one takes you away by force, through man's wisdom and deceit, going after the beliefs of men and the theories of the world, and not after Christ:

bbe@Colossians:2:12 @Having been put to death with him in baptism, by which you came to life again with him, through faith in the working of God, who made him come back from the dead.

bbe@Colossians:2:15 @Having made himself free from the rule of authorities and powers, he put them openly to shame, glorying over them in it.

bbe@Colossians:2:17 @For these are an image of the things which are to come; but the body is Christ's.

bbe@Colossians:2:22 @(Rules which are all to come to an end with their use) after the orders and teaching of men?

bbe@Colossians:3:6 @Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;

bbe@Colossians:3:9 @Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,

bbe@Colossians:3:10 @And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;

bbe@Colossians:3:12 @As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

bbe@Colossians:3:15 @And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.

bbe@Colossians:3:16 @Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.

bbe@Colossians:3:17 @And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.

bbe@Colossians:3:22 @Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord:

bbe@Colossians:3:23 @Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;

bbe@Colossians:3:25 @For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position.

bbe@Colossians:4:2 @Give yourselves to prayer at all times, keeping watch with praise;

bbe@Colossians:4:4 @So that I may make it clear, as it is right for me to do.

bbe@Colossians:4:5 @Be wise in your behaviour to those who are outside, making good use of the time.

bbe@Colossians:4:10 @Aristarchus, my brother-prisoner, sends his love to you, and Mark, a relation of Barnabas (about whom you have been given orders: if he comes to you, be kind to him),

bbe@Colossians:4:11 @And Jesus, whose other name is Justus; these are of the circumcision: they are my only brother-workers for the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.

bbe@Colossians:4:14 @Luke, our well-loved medical friend, and Demas, send you their love.

bbe@Colossians:4:16 @And when this letter has been made public among you, let the same be done in the church of Laodicea; and see that you have the letter from Laodicea.

bbe@Colossians:4:18 @I, Paul, give you this word of love in my handwriting. Keep in memory that I am a prisoner. Grace be with you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:2 @We give praise to God at all times for you, keeping you in memory in our prayers;

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:5 @Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:6 @And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:7 @So that you became an example to all those who have faith in Christ in Macedonia and Achaia.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:9 @For they themselves give the news of how we came among you; and how you were turned from images to God, to the worship of a true and living God,

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:10 @Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:3 @For our witness does not come from error or from an unclean heart or from deceit:

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:4 @But even as the good news was given to us by the approval of God, so we give it out; not as pleasing men, but God by whom our hearts are tested.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:5 @For it is common knowledge among you that we never made use of smooth-sounding false words, and God is witness that at no time were we secretly desiring profit for ourselves,

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:6 @Or looking for glory from men, from you or from others, when we might have made ourselves a care to you as Apostles of Christ.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:9 @For you have the memory, my brothers, of our trouble and care; how, working night and day, so that we might not be a trouble to any of you, we gave you the good news of God.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:13 @And for this cause we still give praise to God, that, when the word came to your ears through us, you took it, not as the word of man, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which has living power in you who have faith.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:14 @For you, my brothers, took as your examples the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; because you underwent the same things from your countrymen as they did from the Jews;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:15 @Who put to death the Lord Jesus and the prophets, violently driving us out; who are unpleasing to God and against all men;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:16 @Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:17 @But we, my brothers, being away from you for a short time, in body but not in heart, had all the more desire to see your face;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:18 @For which reason we made attempts to come to you, even I, Paul, once and again; but Satan kept us from coming.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:4 @And when we were with you, we said to you that trouble was before us; and so it came about, as you see.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:5 @For this reason, when I was no longer able to keep quiet, I sent to get news of your faith, fearing that you might be tested by the Evil One and that our work might come to nothing.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:6 @But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has given us good news of your faith and love, and that you have happy memories of us, desiring greatly to see us, even as we do to see you;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:11 @Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus make a way for us to come to you;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:12 @And the Lord give you increase of love in fullest measure to one another and to all men, even as our love to you;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:1 @And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:9 @But about loving the brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you in this letter: for you have the teaching of God that love for one another is right and necessary;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:14 @For if we have faith that Jesus underwent death and came back again, even so those who are sleeping will come again with him by God's power.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:16 @Because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a word of authority, with the voice of the chief angel, with the sound of a horn: and the dead in Christ will come to life first;

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:1 @But about the times and their order, my brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:2 @For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:3 @When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:16 @Have joy at all times.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:27 @I give orders in the name of the Lord that all the brothers are to be present at the reading of this letter.

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:3 @It is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, because of the great increase of your faith, and the wealth of your love for one another;

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:7 @And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus comes from heaven with the angels of his power in flames of fire,

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:8 @To give punishment to those who have no knowledge of God, and to those who do not give ear to the good news of our Lord Jesus:

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:12 @So that glory may be given to the name of our Lord Jesus through you, and you may have glory in him, by the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:1 @Now as to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our meeting with him, it is our desire, my brothers,

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:2 @That you may not be moved in mind or troubled by a spirit, or by a word, or by a letter as from us, with the suggestion that the day of the Lord is even now come;

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:4 @Who puts himself against all authority, lifting himself up over all which is named God or is given worship; so that he takes his seat in the Temple of God, putting himself forward as God.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:5 @Have you no memory of what I said when I was with you, giving you word of these things?

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:6 @And now it is clear to you what is keeping back his revelation till the time comes for him to be seen.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:8 @And then will come the revelation of that evil one, whom the Lord Jesus will put to death with the breath of his mouth, and give to destruction by the revelation of his coming;

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:13 @But it is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, loved by the Lord, because it was the purpose of God from the first that you might have salvation, being made holy by the Spirit and by faith in what is true:

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:2 @And that we may be made free from foolish and evil men; for not all have faith.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:6 @Now we give you orders, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from all those whose behaviour is not well ordered and in harmony with the teaching which they had from us.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:9 @Not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, so that you might do the same.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:11 @For it has come to our ears that there are some among you whose behaviour is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are over-interested in the business of others.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:14 @And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:16 @Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with you all.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:17 @These words of love to you at the end are in my writing, Paul's writing, and this is the mark of every letter from me.

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

bbe@1Timothy:1:3 @It was my desire, when I went on into Macedonia, that you might make a stop at Ephesus, to give orders to certain men not to put forward a different teaching,

bbe@1Timothy:1:4 @Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith;

bbe@1Timothy:1:6 @From which some have been turned away, giving themselves to foolish talking;

bbe@1Timothy:1:7 @Desiring to be teachers of the law, though they have no knowledge of what they say or of the statements which they make so certainly.

bbe@1Timothy:1:9 @With the knowledge that the law is made, not for the upright man, but for those who have no respect for law and order, for evil men and sinners, for the unholy and those who have no religion, for those who put their fathers or mothers to death, for takers of life,

bbe@1Timothy:1:10 @For those who go after loose women, for those with unnatural desires, for those who take men prisoners, who make false statements and false oaths, and those who do any other things against the right teaching,

bbe@1Timothy:1:12 @I give praise to him who gave me power, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he took me to be true, making me his servant,

bbe@1Timothy:1:13 @Though I had said violent words against God, and done cruel acts, causing great trouble: but I was given mercy, because I did it without knowledge, not having faith;

bbe@1Timothy:1:15 @It is a true saying, in which all may put their faith, that Christ Jesus came into the world to give salvation to sinners, of whom I am the chief:

bbe@1Timothy:1:16 @But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.

bbe@1Timothy:1:19 @Keeping faith, and being conscious of well-doing; for some, by not doing these things, have gone wrong in relation to the faith:

bbe@1Timothy:1:20 @Such are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have given up to Satan, so that they may say no more evil words against God.

bbe@1Timothy:2:1 @My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise for all men;

bbe@1Timothy:2:4 @Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true.

bbe@1Timothy:2:5 @For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

bbe@1Timothy:2:6 @Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;

bbe@1Timothy:2:7 @And of this I became a preacher and an Apostle (what I say is true, not false,) and a teacher of the Gentiles in the true faith.

bbe@1Timothy:2:8 @It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument.

bbe@1Timothy:2:9 @And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price;

bbe@1Timothy:2:10 @But clothed with good works, as is right for women who are living in the fear of God.

bbe@1Timothy:2:13 @For Adam was first formed, then Eve;

bbe@1Timothy:2:14 @And Adam was not taken by deceit, but the woman, being tricked, became a wrongdoer.

bbe@1Timothy:2:15 @But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.

bbe@1Timothy:3:2 @The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher;

bbe@1Timothy:3:6 @Not one newly taken into the church, for fear that, through his high opinion of himself, he may come into the same sin as the Evil One.

bbe@1Timothy:3:7 @And he is to have a good name among those outside the church, so that nothing may be said against him and he may not be taken by the designs of the Evil One.

bbe@1Timothy:3:8 @Deacons, in the same way, are to be serious in their behaviour, not false in word, not given to taking much wine or greatly desiring the wealth of this world;

bbe@1Timothy:3:10 @And let these first be put to the test; then let them become Deacons if there is nothing against them

bbe@1Timothy:3:11 @Women are to be serious in behaviour, saying no evil of others, controlling themselves, true in all things.

bbe@1Timothy:3:13 @For those who have done good work as Deacons get for themselves a good position and become free from fear in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

bbe@1Timothy:3:14 @I am writing these things to you, though I am hoping to come to you before long;

bbe@1Timothy:3:15 @But if I am long in coming, this will make clear to you what behaviour is right for men in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of what is true.

bbe@1Timothy:3:16 @And without argument, great is the secret of religion: He who was seen in the flesh, who was given God's approval in the spirit, was seen by the angels, of whom the good news was given among the nations, in whom the world had faith, who was taken up in glory.

bbe@1Timothy:4:1 @But the Spirit says clearly that in later times some will be turned away from the faith, giving their minds to spirits of deceit, and the teachings of evil spirits,

bbe@1Timothy:4:2 @Through the false ways of men whose words are untrue, whose hearts are burned as with a heated iron;

bbe@1Timothy:4:3 @Who keep men from being married and from taking food which God made to be taken with praise by those who have faith and true knowledge.

bbe@1Timothy:4:8 @For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.

bbe@1Timothy:4:10 @And this is the purpose of all our work and our fighting, because our hope is in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, and specially of those who have faith

bbe@1Timothy:4:13 @Till I come, give attention to the reading of the holy Writings, to comforting the saints, and to teaching.

bbe@1Timothy:5:1 @Do not say sharp words to one who has authority in the church, but let your talk be as to a father, and to the younger men as to brothers:

bbe@1Timothy:5:2 @To the older women as to mothers, to the younger as to sisters, with a clean heart.

bbe@1Timothy:5:15 @For even now some are turned away to Satan.

bbe@1Timothy:5:16 @If any woman of the faith has relations who are widows, let her give them help, so that the care of them does not come on the church, and so it may give help to those who are truly widowed.

bbe@1Timothy:5:19 @Do not take as true any statement made against one in authority, but only if two or three give witness to it.

bbe@1Timothy:5:22 @Do not put hands on any man without thought, and have no part in other men's sins: keep yourself clean.

bbe@1Timothy:5:24 @The sins of some men are clearly seen, going before them to be judged; but with others, their sins go after them.

bbe@1Timothy:5:25 @In the same way, there are good works which are clearly seen; and those which are not so, may not be kept secret.

bbe@1Timothy:6:1 @Let all who are servants under the yoke give all honour to their masters, so that no evil may be said against the name of God and his teaching.

bbe@1Timothy:6:3 @If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion,

bbe@1Timothy:6:4 @He has an over-high opinion of himself; being without knowledge, having only an unhealthy love of questionings and wars of words, from which come envy, fighting, cruel words, evil thoughts,

bbe@1Timothy:6:5 @Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit.

bbe@1Timothy:6:7 @For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out;

bbe@1Timothy:6:9 @But those who have a desire for wealth are falling into danger, and are taken as in a net by a number of foolish and damaging desires, through which men are overtaken by death and destruction.

bbe@1Timothy:6:10 @For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.

bbe@1Timothy:6:14 @To keep the word untouched by evil, clear from all shame, till the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:

bbe@1Timothy:6:15 @Which at the right time he will make clear, who is the eternal and only Ruler, King of kings, and Lord of lords;

bbe@1Timothy:6:16 @Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.

bbe@1Timothy:6:17 @Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use;

bbe@1Timothy:6:19 @Making ready for themselves a safe place for the time to come, so that the true life may be theirs.

bbe@1Timothy:6:20 @O Timothy, take good care of that which is given to you, turning away from the wrong and foolish talk and arguments of that knowledge which is falsely so named;

bbe@1Timothy:6:21 @Through which some, who gave their minds to it, have been turned away from the faith. Grace be with you.

bbe@2Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my well-loved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

bbe@2Timothy:1:3 @I give praise to God, whose servant I have been, with a heart free from sin, from the time of my fathers, because in my prayers at all times the thought of you is with me, night and day

bbe@2Timothy:1:4 @Desiring to see you, keeping in my memory your weeping, so that I may be full of joy;

bbe@2Timothy:1:8 @Have no feeling of shame, then, for the witness of our Lord or for me, his prisoner: but undergo all things for the good news in the measure of the power of God;

bbe@2Timothy:1:9 @Who gave us salvation, marking us out for his purpose, not on account of our works, but in the measure of his purpose and his grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

bbe@2Timothy:1:10 @But has now been made clear by the revelation of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who put an end to death and made life unending come to light through the good news,

bbe@2Timothy:1:12 @And for which I undergo these things: but I have no feeling of shame. For I have knowledge of him in whom I have faith, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have given into his care till that day.

bbe@2Timothy:1:13 @Keep the form of those true words which you had from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

bbe@2Timothy:1:15 @You have had news that all those in Asia went away from me; among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes:

bbe@2Timothy:1:16 @May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus because he frequently gave me help, and had no feeling of shame because I was in chains;

bbe@2Timothy:1:17 @But when he was in Rome, he went in search of me everywhere, and came to me

bbe@2Timothy:1:18 @(May he have the Lord's mercy in that day); and of all he did for me at Ephesus you have full knowledge.

bbe@2Timothy:2:8 @Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness:

bbe@2Timothy:2:9 @In which I put up with the hardest conditions, even prison chains, like one who has done a crime; but the word of God is not in chains.

bbe@2Timothy:2:14 @Put these things before them, giving them orders in the name of the Lord to keep themselves from fighting about words, which is of no profit, only causing error in their hearers.

bbe@2Timothy:2:15 @Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.

bbe@2Timothy:2:17 @And their words will be like poisoned wounds in the flesh: such are Hymenaeus and Philetus;

bbe@2Timothy:2:18 @Men whose ideas are all false, who say that the coming back from the dead has even now taken place, overturning the faith of some.

bbe@2Timothy:2:19 @But God's strong base is unchanging, having this sign, The Lord has knowledge of those who are his: and, Let everyone by whom the name of the Lord is named be turned away from evil.

bbe@2Timothy:2:20 @Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but others of wood and earth, and some which are honoured and some without honour.

bbe@2Timothy:3:1 @But be certain of this, that in the last days times of trouble will come.

bbe@2Timothy:3:2 @For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, uplifted in pride, given to bitter words, going against the authority of their fathers, never giving praise, having no religion,

bbe@2Timothy:3:6 @For these are they who go secretly into houses, making prisoners of foolish women, weighted down with sin, turned from the way by their evil desires,

bbe@2Timothy:3:8 @And as James and Jambres went against Moses, so do these go against what is true: men of evil minds, who, tested by faith, are seen to be false.

bbe@2Timothy:3:9 @But they will go no farther: for their foolish behaviour will be clear to all men, as theirs was in the end.

bbe@2Timothy:3:11 @My punishments and pain; the things which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; the cruel attacks made on me: and the Lord made me free from them all.

bbe@2Timothy:3:13 @Evil and false men will become worse and worse, using deceit and themselves overcome by deceit.

bbe@2Timothy:3:15 @And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus.

bbe@2Timothy:3:16 @Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness:

bbe@2Timothy:4:2 @Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;

bbe@2Timothy:4:3 @For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them;

bbe@2Timothy:4:7 @I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith:

bbe@2Timothy:4:8 @From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.

bbe@2Timothy:4:9 @Do your best to come to me before long:

bbe@2Timothy:4:10 @For Demas has gone away from me, for love of this present life, and has gone to Thessalonica: Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia

bbe@2Timothy:4:11 @Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and take him with you; for he is of use to me in the work.

bbe@2Timothy:4:13 @The coat which I did not take from Troas and which is with Carpus, get when you come, and the books, specially the papers.

bbe@2Timothy:4:14 @Alexander the copper-worker did me much wrong: the Lord will give him the reward of his works:

bbe@2Timothy:4:16 @At my first meeting with my judges, no one took my part, but all went away from me. May it not be put to their account.

bbe@2Timothy:4:17 @But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion.

bbe@2Timothy:4:18 @The Lord will keep me safe from every evil work and will give me salvation in his kingdom in heaven: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@2Timothy:4:21 @Do your best to come before the winter. Eubulus sends you his love, and Pudens and Linus and Claudia, and all the brothers.

bbe@Titus:1:1 @Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in agreement with the faith of the saints of God and the full knowledge of what is true in harmony with religion,

bbe@Titus:1:2 @In the hope of eternal life, which was made certain before eternal time, by the word of God who is ever true;

bbe@Titus:1:3 @Who, in his time, made clear his word in the good news, of which, by the order of God our Saviour, I became a preacher;

bbe@Titus:1:5 @I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you;

bbe@Titus:1:6 @Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled.

bbe@Titus:1:9 @Keeping to the true word of the teaching, so that he may be able to give comfort by right teaching and overcome the arguments of the doubters.

bbe@Titus:1:10 @For there are men who are not ruled by law; foolish talkers, false teachers, specially those of the circumcision,

bbe@Titus:1:11 @By whom some families have been completely overturned; who take money for teaching things which are not right; these will have to be stopped.

bbe@Titus:1:12 @One of their prophets has said, The men of Crete are ever false, evil beasts, lovers of food, hating work.

bbe@Titus:1:13 @This witness is true. So say sharp words to them so that they may come to the right faith,

bbe@Titus:1:14 @Giving no attention to the fictions of the Jews and the rules of men who have no true knowledge.

bbe@Titus:1:15 @To the clean in heart all things are clean: but to those who are unclean and without faith nothing is clean; they become unclean in mind and in thought.

bbe@Titus:2:1 @But let your words be in agreement with true and right teaching:

bbe@Titus:2:2 @That old men are to be simple in their tastes, serious, wise, true in faith, in love, and of a quiet mind.

bbe@Titus:2:3 @That old women are to be self-respecting in behaviour, not saying evil of others, not given to taking much wine, teachers of that which is good,

bbe@Titus:2:4 @Training the younger women to have love for their husbands and children,

bbe@Titus:2:6 @To the young men give orders to be wise and serious-minded:

bbe@Titus:2:8 @Saying true and right words, against which no protest may be made, so that he who is not on our side may be put to shame, unable to say any evil of us.

bbe@Titus:2:9 @Servants are to be under the authority of their masters, pleasing them in all things, without argument;

bbe@Titus:2:11 @For the grace of God has come, giving salvation to all men,

bbe@Titus:2:15 @On all these points give teaching and help, and make clear what is right with all authority. Let all men give you honour.

bbe@Titus:3:2 @To say no evil of any man, not to be fighters, to give way to others, to be gentle in behaviour to all men.

bbe@Titus:3:4 @But when the mercy of God our Saviour, and his love to man was seen,

bbe@Titus:3:5 @Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Titus:3:8 @This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men;

bbe@Titus:3:9 @But have nothing to do with foolish questionings, and lists of generations, and fights and arguments about the law; for they are of no profit and foolish.

bbe@Titus:3:12 @When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis: for it is my purpose to be there for the winter.

bbe@Titus:3:15 @All who are with me send you their love. Give our love to our friends in the faith. Grace be with you all.

bbe@Philemon:1:4 @I give praise to God at all times and make prayer for you,

bbe@Philemon:1:8 @And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,

bbe@Philemon:1:11 @Who in the past was of no profit to you, but now is of profit to you and to me:

bbe@Philemon:1:13 @Though my desire was to keep him with me, to be my servant in the chains of the good news, in your place:

bbe@Philemon:1:15 @For it is possible that for this reason he was parted from you for a time, so that you might have him for ever;

bbe@Philemon:1:16 @No longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother, very dear to me specially, but much more to you, in the flesh as well as in the Lord.

bbe@Philemon:1:17 @If then you take me to be your friend and brother, take him in as myself.

bbe@Philemon:1:19 @I, Paul, writing this myself, say, I will make payment to you: and I do not say to you that you are in debt to me even for your life.

bbe@Philemon:1:20 @So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.

bbe@Philemon:1:22 @And make a room ready for me; for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be given to you.

bbe@Hebrews:1:1 @In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;

bbe@Hebrews:1:2 @But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;

bbe@Hebrews:1:4 @Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.

bbe@Hebrews:1:5 @To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?

bbe@Hebrews:1:7 @And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire:

bbe@Hebrews:1:11 @They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe;

bbe@Hebrews:1:12 @They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end.

bbe@Hebrews:1:13 @But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Take your seat at my right hand till I put all those who are against you under your feet?

bbe@Hebrews:2:1 @For this reason there is the more need for us to give attention to the things which have come to our ears, for fear that by chance we might be slipping away.

bbe@Hebrews:2:2 @Because if the word which came through the angels was fixed, and in the past every evil act against God's orders was given its full punishment;

bbe@Hebrews:2:3 @What will come on us, if we do not give our minds to such a great salvation? a salvation of which our fathers first had knowledge through the words of the Lord, and which was made certain to us by those to whom his words came;

bbe@Hebrews:2:5 @For he did not make the angels rulers over the world to come, of which I am writing.

bbe@Hebrews:2:9 @But we see him who was made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, crowned with glory and honour, because he let himself be put to death so that by the grace of God he might undergo death for all men.

bbe@Hebrews:2:11 @For he who makes holy and those who are made holy are all of one family; and for this reason it is no shame for him to give them the name of brothers,

bbe@Hebrews:2:12 @Saying, I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers, I will make a song of praise to you before the church.

bbe@Hebrews:2:13 @And again he says, I will put my faith in him. And again, See, I am here, and the children which God has given to me.

bbe@Hebrews:2:14 @And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

bbe@Hebrews:2:17 @Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.

bbe@Hebrews:3:7 @And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,

bbe@Hebrews:3:8 @Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land,

bbe@Hebrews:3:9 @When your fathers put me to the test, and saw my works for forty years.

bbe@Hebrews:3:10 @So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways;

bbe@Hebrews:3:11 @And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest.

bbe@Hebrews:3:15 @As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry.

bbe@Hebrews:3:16 @Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses?

bbe@Hebrews:3:17 @And with whom was he angry for forty years? was it not with those who did evil, who came to their deaths in the waste land?

bbe@Hebrews:3:18 @And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders?

bbe@Hebrews:4:1 @Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

bbe@Hebrews:4:2 @And, truly, the good news came to us, even as it did to them; but the hearing of the word did them no good, because they were not united in faith with the true hearers.

bbe@Hebrews:4:3 @For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

bbe@Hebrews:4:5 @And in the same place he says again, They will not come into my rest.

bbe@Hebrews:4:6 @So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders,

bbe@Hebrews:4:7 @After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart,

bbe@Hebrews:4:10 @For the man who comes into his rest has had rest from his works, as God did from his

bbe@Hebrews:4:11 @Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

bbe@Hebrews:4:16 @Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.

bbe@Hebrews:5:1 @Every high priest who is taken from among men is given his position to take care of the interests of men in those things which have to do with God, so that he may make offerings for sins.

bbe@Hebrews:5:5 @In the same way Christ did not take for himself the glory of being made a high priest, but was given it by him who said, You are my Son, this day I have given you being:

bbe@Hebrews:5:6 @As he says in another place, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:5:8 @And though he was a Son, through the pain which he underwent, the knowledge came to him of what it was to be under God's orders;

bbe@Hebrews:5:9 @And when he had been made complete, he became the giver of eternal salvation to all those who are under his orders;

bbe@Hebrews:5:10 @Being named by God a high priest of the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:5:12 @And though by this time it would be right for you to be teachers, you still have need of someone to give you teaching about the first simple rules of God's revelation; you have become like babies who have need of milk, and not of solid food

bbe@Hebrews:5:14 @But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil.

bbe@Hebrews:6:4 @As for those who at one time saw the light, tasting the good things from heaven, and having their part in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Hebrews:6:5 @With knowledge of the good word of God, and of the powers of the coming time,

bbe@Hebrews:6:6 @And then let themselves be turned away, it is not possible for their hearts to be made new a second time; because they themselves put the Son of God on the cross again, openly shaming him.

bbe@Hebrews:6:10 @For God is true, and will not put away from him the memory of your work and of your love for his name, in the help which you gave and still give to the saints.

bbe@Hebrews:6:11 @And it is our desire that you may all keep the same high purpose in certain hope to the end:

bbe@Hebrews:6:15 @And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God's word to him was put into effect.

bbe@Hebrews:6:16 @For men at all times make their oaths by what is greater; and any argument is ended by the decision of the oath.

bbe@Hebrews:6:20 @Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:7:1 @For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,

bbe@Hebrews:7:2 @And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace;

bbe@Hebrews:7:8 @Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

bbe@Hebrews:7:10 @Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.

bbe@Hebrews:7:11 @Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?

bbe@Hebrews:7:13 @For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.

bbe@Hebrews:7:14 @Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.

bbe@Hebrews:7:15 @And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,

bbe@Hebrews:7:17 @For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:7:19 @(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.

bbe@Hebrews:7:22 @By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.

bbe@Hebrews:7:25 @So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.

bbe@Hebrews:7:28 @The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.

bbe@Hebrews:8:3 @Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

bbe@Hebrews:8:6 @But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.

bbe@Hebrews:8:7 @For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.

bbe@Hebrews:8:8 @For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;

bbe@Hebrews:8:9 @Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand, to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; for they did not keep the agreement with me, and I gave them up, says the Lord.

bbe@Hebrews:8:10 @For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people:

bbe@Hebrews:8:11 @And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small.

bbe@Hebrews:8:12 @And I will have mercy on their evil-doing, and I will not keep their sins in mind.

bbe@Hebrews:8:13 @When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer.

bbe@Hebrews:9:1 @Now the first agreement had its rules of worship, and a holy order.

bbe@Hebrews:9:2 @For the first Tent was made ready, having in it the vessels for the lights and the table and the ordering of the bread; and this is named the holy place.

bbe@Hebrews:9:3 @And inside the second veil was the place which is named the Holy of holies;

bbe@Hebrews:9:4 @Having a vessel of gold in it for burning perfumes, and the ark of the agreement, which was covered with gold and which had in it a pot made of gold for the manna, and Aaron's rod which put out buds, and the stones with the writing of the agreement;

bbe@Hebrews:9:5 @And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail.

bbe@Hebrews:9:6 @Now while these things were in existence, the priests went into the first Tent at all times, for prayer and the making of offerings.

bbe@Hebrews:9:8 @The Holy Spirit witnessing by this that the way into the holy place had not at that time been made open, while the first Tent was still in being;

bbe@Hebrews:9:9 @And this is an image of the present time; when the offerings which are given are not able to make the heart of the worshipper completely clean,

bbe@Hebrews:9:10 @Because they are only rules of the flesh, of meats and drinks and washings, which have their place till the time comes when things will be put right.

bbe@Hebrews:9:11 @But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,

bbe@Hebrews:9:15 @And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.

bbe@Hebrews:9:16 @Because where there is a testament, there has to be the death of the man who made it.

bbe@Hebrews:9:17 @For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?

bbe@Hebrews:9:18 @So that even the first agreement was not made without blood.

bbe@Hebrews:9:20 @Saying, This blood is the sign of the agreement which God has made with you

bbe@Hebrews:9:21 @And the blood was put on the Tent and all the holy vessels in the same way.

bbe@Hebrews:9:24 @For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.

bbe@Hebrews:9:26 @For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.

bbe@Hebrews:9:27 @And because by God's law death comes to men once, and after that they are judged;

bbe@Hebrews:9:28 @So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

bbe@Hebrews:10:1 @For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

bbe@Hebrews:10:3 @But year by year there is a memory of sins in those offerings.

bbe@Hebrews:10:5 @So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me;

bbe@Hebrews:10:7 @Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God (as it is said of me in the roll of the book).

bbe@Hebrews:10:9 @Then he said, See, I have come to do your pleasure

bbe@Hebrews:10:11 @And every priest takes his place at the altar day by day, doing what is necessary, and making again and again the same offerings which are never able to take away sins.

bbe@Hebrews:10:13 @And has been waiting there from that time, till all who are against him are made a foot-rest for his feet.

bbe@Hebrews:10:16 @This is the agreement which I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws in their hearts, writing them in their minds; he said,

bbe@Hebrews:10:17 @And I will keep no more memory of their sins and of their evil-doings.

bbe@Hebrews:10:24 @And let us be moving one another at all times to love and good works;

bbe@Hebrews:10:25 @Not giving up our meetings, as is the way of some, but keeping one another strong in faith; and all the more because you see the day coming near.

bbe@Hebrews:10:29 @But will not the man by whom the Son of God has been crushed under foot, and the blood of the agreement with which he was washed clean has been taken as an unholy thing, and who has had no respect for the Spirit of grace, be judged bad enough for a very much worse punishment?

bbe@Hebrews:10:30 @For we have had experience of him who says, Punishment is mine, I will give reward. And again, The Lord will be judge of his people.

bbe@Hebrews:10:37 @In a very little time he who is coming will come; he will not be slow.

bbe@Hebrews:11:4 @By faith Abel made a better offering to God than Cain, and he had witness through it of his righteousness, God giving his approval of his offering: and his voice still comes to us through it though he is dead.

bbe@Hebrews:11:6 @And without faith it is not possible to be well-pleasing to him, for it is necessary for anyone who comes to God to have the belief that God is, and that he is a rewarder of all those who make a serious search for him.

bbe@Hebrews:11:7 @By faith Noah, being moved by the fear of God, made ready an ark for the salvation of his family, because God had given him news of things which were not seen at the time; and through it the world was judged by him, and he got for his heritage the righteousness which is by faith.

bbe@Hebrews:11:9 @By faith he was a wanderer in the land of the agreement, as in a strange land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who had a part with him in the same heritage:

bbe@Hebrews:11:12 @So that from one man, who was near to death, came children in number as the stars in heaven, or as the sand by the seaside, which may not be numbered.

bbe@Hebrews:11:13 @All these came to their end in faith, not having had the heritage; but having seen it with delight far away, they gave witness that they were wanderers and not of the earth.

bbe@Hebrews:11:16 @But now their desire is for a better country, that is to say, for one in heaven; and so it is no shame to God to be named their God; for he has made ready a town for them.

bbe@Hebrews:11:17 @By faith Abraham made an offering of Isaac, when he was tested: and he with whom the agreement had been made gave up as an offering the only son of his body,

bbe@Hebrews:11:18 @Of whom it had been said, From Isaac will your seed take their name:

bbe@Hebrews:11:20 @By faith Isaac, blessing Jacob and Esau, gave news of things to come.

bbe@Hebrews:11:24 @By faith Moses, when he became a man, had no desire to be named the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

bbe@Hebrews:11:25 @Feeling that it was better to undergo pain with the people of God, than for a short time to have a taste of the pleasures of sin;

bbe@Hebrews:11:26 @Judging a part in the shame of Christ to be better than all the wealth of Egypt; for he was looking forward to his reward.

bbe@Hebrews:11:29 @By faith they went through the Red Sea as if it had been dry land, though the Egyptians were overcome by the water when they made an attempt to do the same.

bbe@Hebrews:11:30 @By faith the walls of Jericho came down, after they had been circled for seven days.

bbe@Hebrews:11:32 @What more am I to say? For there would not be time to give the stories of Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets:

bbe@Hebrews:11:33 @Who through faith overcame kingdoms, did righteousness, got their reward, kept the mouths of lions shut,

bbe@Hebrews:11:34 @Put out the power of fire, got safely away from the edge of the sword, were made strong when they had been feeble, became full of power in war, and put to flight the armies of the nations.

bbe@Hebrews:11:35 @Women had their dead given back to them living; others let themselves be cruelly attacked, having no desire to go free, so that they might have a better life to come;

bbe@Hebrews:11:39 @And not one of these got the good things of the agreement, though they all had a good record through faith,

bbe@Hebrews:11:40 @Because God had kept some better thing for us, so that it was not possible for them to become complete without us.

bbe@Hebrews:12:1 @For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,

bbe@Hebrews:12:2 @Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.

bbe@Hebrews:12:5 @And you have not kept in mind the word which says to you as to sons, My son, do not make little of the Lord's punishment, and do not give up hope when you are judged by him;

bbe@Hebrews:12:6 @For the Lord sends punishment on his loved ones; everyone whom he takes as his son has experience of his rod.

bbe@Hebrews:12:7 @It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father?

bbe@Hebrews:12:8 @But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame.

bbe@Hebrews:12:9 @And again, if the fathers of our flesh gave us punishment and had our respect, how much more will we be under the authority of the Father of spirits, and have life?

bbe@Hebrews:12:10 @For they truly gave us punishment for a short time, as it seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, so that we may become holy as he is.

bbe@Hebrews:12:11 @At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness.

bbe@Hebrews:12:14 @Let your desire be for peace with all men, and to be made holy, without which no man may see the Lord;

bbe@Hebrews:12:15 @Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;

bbe@Hebrews:12:18 @You have not come to a mountain which may be touched, and is burning with fire, and to a black cloud, and a dark smoke, and a violent wind,

bbe@Hebrews:12:20 @For the order which said, If the mountain is touched even by a beast, the beast is to be stoned, seemed hard to them;

bbe@Hebrews:12:22 @But you have come to the mountain of Zion, to the place of the living God, to the Jerusalem which is in heaven, and to an army of angels which may not be numbered,

bbe@Hebrews:12:23 @To the great meeting and church of the first of those who are named in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of good men made complete,

bbe@Hebrews:12:24 @And to Jesus by whom the new agreement has been made between God and man, and to the sign of the blood which says better things than Abel's blood.

bbe@Hebrews:12:25 @See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven?

bbe@Hebrews:13:2 @Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.

bbe@Hebrews:13:4 @Let married life be honoured among all of you and not made unclean; for men untrue in married life will be judged by God.

bbe@Hebrews:13:5 @Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

bbe@Hebrews:13:6 @So that we say with a good heart, The Lord is my helper; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

bbe@Hebrews:13:7 @Keep in mind those who were over you, and who gave you the word of God; seeing the outcome of their way of life, let your faith be like theirs.

bbe@Hebrews:13:8 @Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.

bbe@Hebrews:13:9 @Do not be turned away by different strange teachings, because it is good for your hearts to be made strong by grace, and not by meats, which were of no profit to those who took so much trouble over them.

bbe@Hebrews:13:13 @Let us then go out to him outside the circle of the tents, taking his shame on ourselves.

bbe@Hebrews:13:14 @For here we have no fixed resting-place, but our search is for the one which is to come.

bbe@Hebrews:13:15 @Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name

bbe@Hebrews:13:20 @Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

bbe@Hebrews:13:23 @Our brother Timothy has been let out of prison; and if he comes here in a short time, he and I will come to you together.

bbe@Hebrews:13:24 @Give words of love from me to those who are rulers over you, and to all the saints. Those who are in Italy send you their love.

bbe@James:1:1 @James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends words of love to the twelve tribes of the Jews living in all parts of the earth.

bbe@James:1:2 @Let it be all joy to you, my brothers, when you undergo tests of every sort;

bbe@James:1:3 @Because you have the knowledge that the testing of your faith gives you the power of going on in hope;

bbe@James:1:4 @But let this power have its full effect, so that you may be made complete, needing nothing.

bbe@James:1:5 @But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.

bbe@James:1:6 @Let him make his request in faith, doubting nothing; for he who has doubt in his heart is like the waves of the sea, which are troubled by the driving of the wind.

bbe@James:1:7 @Let it not seem to such a man that he will get anything from the Lord;

bbe@James:1:8 @For there is a division in his mind, and he is uncertain in all his ways.

bbe@James:1:9 @But let the brother of low position be glad that he is lifted up;

bbe@James:1:10 @But the man of wealth, that he is made low; because like the flower of the grass he will come to his end.

bbe@James:1:11 @For when the sun comes up with its burning heat, the grass gets dry and the grace of its form is gone with the falling flower; so the man of wealth comes to nothing in his ways.

bbe@James:1:12 @There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.

bbe@James:1:13 @Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test:

bbe@James:1:14 @But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.

bbe@James:1:15 @Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.

bbe@James:1:16 @Do not be turned from the right way, dear brothers.

bbe@James:1:17 @Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.

bbe@James:1:18 @Of his purpose he gave us being, by his true word, so that we might be, in a sense, the first-fruits of all the things which he had made.

bbe@James:1:19 @You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

bbe@James:1:20 @For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.

bbe@James:1:21 @For this reason, putting away all dirty behaviour and the overweight of evil, take into your souls without pride the word which, being planted there, is able to give you salvation.

bbe@James:1:22 @But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.

bbe@James:1:23 @Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass;

bbe@James:1:24 @For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.

bbe@James:1:25 @But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.

bbe@James:1:26 @If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value.

bbe@James:1:27 @The religion which is holy and free from evil in the eyes of our God and Father is this: to take care of children who have no fathers and of widows who are in trouble, and to keep oneself untouched by the world.

bbe@James:2:1 @My brothers, if you have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, do not take a man's position into account.

bbe@James:2:2 @For if a man comes into your Synagogue in fair clothing and with a gold ring, and a poor man comes in with dirty clothing,

bbe@James:2:3 @And you do honour to the man in fair clothing and say, Come here and take this good place; and you say to the poor man, Take up your position there, or be seated at my feet;

bbe@James:2:4 @Is there not a division in your minds? have you not become judges with evil thoughts?

bbe@James:2:5 @Give ear, my dear brothers; are not those who are poor in the things of this world marked out by God to have faith as their wealth, and for their heritage the kingdom which he has said he will give to those who have love for him?

bbe@James:2:6 @But you have put the poor man to shame. Are not the men of wealth rulers over you? do they not take you by force before their judges?

bbe@James:2:7 @Do they not say evil of the holy name which was given to you?

bbe@James:2:8 @But if you keep the greatest law of all, as it is given in the holy Writings, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself, you do well:

bbe@James:2:9 @But if you take a man's position into account, you do evil, and are judged as evil-doers by the law.

bbe@James:2:10 @For anyone who keeps all the law, but makes a slip in one point, is judged to have gone against it all.

bbe@James:2:11 @For he who said, Do not be untrue in married life, is the same who said, Put no man to death. Now if you are not untrue in married life, but you put a man to death, the law is broken.

bbe@James:2:12 @Let your words and your acts be those of men who are to be judged by the law which makes free.

bbe@James:2:13 @For the man who has had no mercy will be judged without mercy, but mercy takes pride in overcoming judging.

bbe@James:2:14 @What use is it, my brothers, for a man to say that he has faith, if he does nothing? will such a faith give him salvation?

bbe@James:2:15 @If a brother or a sister is without clothing and in need of the day's food,

bbe@James:2:16 @And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this?

bbe@James:2:17 @Even so faith without works is dead.

bbe@James:2:18 @But a man may say, You have faith and I have works; let me see your faith without your works, and I will make my faith clear to you by my works.

bbe@James:2:19 @You have the belief that God is one, and you do well: the evil spirits have the same belief, shaking with fear.

bbe@James:2:20 @Do you not see, O foolish man, that faith without works is of no use?

bbe@James:2:21 @Was not the righteousness of Abraham our father judged by his works, when he made an offering of Isaac his son on the altar?

bbe@James:2:22 @You see that his faith was helping his works and was made complete by them;

bbe@James:2:23 @And the holy Writings were put into effect which said, And Abraham had faith in God and it was put to his account as righteousness; and he was named the friend of God.

bbe@James:2:24 @You see that a man's righteousness is judged by his works and not by his faith only.

bbe@James:2:25 @And in the same way, was not the righteousness of Rahab, the loose woman, judged by her works, when she took into her house those who were sent and let them go out by another way?

bbe@James:2:26 @For as the body without the spirit is dead even so faith without works is dead.

bbe@James:3:1 @Do not all be teachers, my brothers, because we teachers will be judged more hardly than others.

bbe@James:3:2 @For we all go wrong in a number of things. If a man never makes a slip in his talk, then he is a complete man and able to keep all his body in control.

bbe@James:3:3 @Now if we put bits of iron into horses' mouths so that they may be guided by us, we have complete control of their bodies.

bbe@James:3:4 @And again ships, though they are so great and are moved by violent winds, are turned by a very small guiding-blade, at the impulse of the man who is using it.

bbe@James:3:5 @Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire!

bbe@James:3:6 @And the tongue is a fire; it is the power of evil placed in our bodies, making all the body unclean, putting the wheel of life on fire, and getting its fire from hell.

bbe@James:3:7 @For every sort of beast and bird and every living thing on earth and in the sea has been controlled by man and is under his authority;

bbe@James:3:8 @But the tongue may not be controlled by man; it is an unresting evil, it is full of the poison of death.

bbe@James:3:9 @With it we give praise to our Lord and Father; and with it we put a curse on men who are made in God's image.

bbe@James:3:10 @Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing

bbe@James:3:11 @Does the fountain send from the same outlet sweet and bitter water?

bbe@James:3:12 @Is a fig-tree able to give us olives, my brothers, or do we get figs from a vine, or sweet water from the salt sea?

bbe@James:3:13 @Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom.

bbe@James:3:14 @But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.

bbe@James:3:15 @This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.

bbe@James:3:16 @For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.

bbe@James:3:17 @But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.

bbe@James:3:18 @And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.

bbe@James:4:1 @What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies?

bbe@James:4:2 @You are burning with desire, and have not your desire, so you put men to death; you are full of envy, and you are not able to get your desire, so you are fighting and making war; you have not your desire, because you do not make request for it.

bbe@James:4:3 @You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure.

bbe@James:4:4 @O you who are false to God, do you not see that the friends of this world are not God's friends? Every man desiring to be a friend of this world makes himself a hater of God.

bbe@James:4:5 @Or does it seem to you that it is for nothing that the holy Writings say, The spirit which God put into our hearts has a strong desire for us?

bbe@James:4:6 @But he gives more grace. So that the Writings say, God is against the men of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low before him.

bbe@James:4:7 @For this cause be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you.

bbe@James:4:8 @Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.

bbe@James:4:9 @Be troubled, with sorrow and weeping; let your laughing be turned to sorrow and your joy to grief.

bbe@James:4:10 @Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him

bbe@James:4:11 @Do not say evil against one another, my brothers. He who says evil against his brother or makes himself his brother's judge, says evil against the law and is judging the law: and in judging the law you become, not a doer of the law but a judge.

bbe@James:4:12 @There is only one judge and law-giver, even he who has the power of salvation and of destruction; but who are you to be your neighbour's judge?

bbe@James:4:13 @How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth:

bbe@James:4:14 @When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.

bbe@James:4:15 @But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that.

bbe@James:4:16 @But now you go on glorying in your pride: and all such glorying is evil.

bbe@James:4:17 @The man who has knowledge of how to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

bbe@James:5:1 @Come now, you men of wealth, give yourselves to weeping and crying because of the bitter troubles which are coming to you.

bbe@James:5:2 @Your wealth is unclean and insects have made holes in your clothing.

bbe@James:5:3 @Your gold and your silver are wasted and their waste will be a witness against you, burning into your flesh. You have put by your store in the last days.

bbe@James:5:4 @See, the money which you falsely kept back from the workers cutting the grass in your field, is crying out against you; and the cries of those who took in your grain have come to the ears of the Lord of armies.

bbe@James:5:5 @You have been living delicately on earth and have taken your pleasure; you have made your hearts fat for a day of destruction.

bbe@James:5:6 @You have given your decision against the upright man and have put him to death. He puts up no fight against you.

bbe@James:5:7 @Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come.

bbe@James:5:8 @Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.

bbe@James:5:9 @Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors.

bbe@James:5:10 @Take as an example of pain nobly undergone and of strength in trouble, the prophets who gave to men the words of the Lord.

bbe@James:5:11 @We say that those men who have gone through pain are happy: you have the story of Job and the troubles through which he went and have seen that the Lord was full of pity and mercy in the end.

bbe@James:5:12 @But most of all, my brothers, do not take oaths, not by the heaven, or by the earth, or by any other thing: but let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No: so that you may not be judged

bbe@James:5:13 @Is anyone among you in trouble? let him say prayers. Is anyone glad? let him make a song of praise.

bbe@James:5:14 @Is anyone among you ill? let him send for the rulers of the church; and let them say prayers over him, putting oil on him in the name of the Lord.

bbe@James:5:15 @And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.

bbe@James:5:16 @So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.

bbe@James:5:17 @Elijah was a man of flesh and blood as we are, and he made a strong prayer that there might be no rain; and there was no rain on the earth for three years and six months.

bbe@James:5:18 @And he made another prayer, and the heaven sent down rain and the earth gave her fruit.

bbe@James:5:19 @My brothers, if one of you has gone out of the way of the true faith and another has made him see his error,

bbe@James:5:20 @Be certain that he through whom a sinner has been turned from the error of his way, keeps a soul from death and is the cause of forgiveness for sins without number.

bbe@1Peter:1:2 @Who, through the purpose of God, have been made holy by the Spirit, disciples of Jesus, made clean by his blood: May you have grace and peace in full measure.

bbe@1Peter:1:3 @Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through his great mercy has given us a new birth and a living hope by the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead,

bbe@1Peter:1:6 @You have cause for great joy in this, though it may have been necessary for you to be troubled for a little time, being tested in all sorts of ways,

bbe@1Peter:1:7 @So that the true metal of your faith, being of much greater value than gold (which, though it comes to an end, is tested by fire), may come to light in praise and glory and honour, at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

bbe@1Peter:1:10 @For the prophets who gave the news of the grace which would come to you, made search with all care for knowledge of this salvation;

bbe@1Peter:1:11 @Attempting to see what sort of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when it gave witness to the pains which Christ would undergo and the glories which would come after them.

bbe@1Peter:1:12 @And it was made clear to those prophets that they were God's servants not for themselves but for you, to give you word of the things which have now come to your ears from the preachers of the good news through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; things which even angels have a desire to see.

bbe@1Peter:1:13 @So make your minds ready, and keep on the watch, hoping with all your power for the grace which is to come to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

bbe@1Peter:1:14 @Like children ruled by God, do not go back to the old desires of the time when you were without knowledge:

bbe@1Peter:1:17 @And if you give the name of Father to him who, judging every man by his acts, has no respect for a man's position, then go in fear while you are on this earth:

bbe@1Peter:1:18 @Being conscious that you have been made free from that foolish way of life which was your heritage from your fathers, not through a payment of things like silver or gold which come to destruction,

bbe@1Peter:1:20 @Who was marked out by God before the making of the world, but was caused to be seen in these last times for you,

bbe@1Peter:1:24 @For it is said, All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass becomes dry and the flower dead:

bbe@1Peter:2:4 @To whom you come, as to a living stone, not honoured by men, but of great and special value to God;

bbe@1Peter:2:6 @Because it is said in the Writings, See, I am placing a keystone in Zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

bbe@1Peter:2:10 @In the past you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; then there was no mercy for you, but now mercy has been given to you.

bbe@1Peter:2:12 @Being of good behaviour among the Gentiles; so that though they say now that you are evil-doers, they may see your good works and give glory to God when he comes to be their judge.

bbe@1Peter:2:13 @Keep all the laws of men because of the Lord; those of the king, who is over all,

bbe@1Peter:2:14 @And those of the rulers who are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and for the praise of those who do well.

bbe@1Peter:2:15 @Because it is God's pleasure that foolish and narrow-minded men may be put to shame by your good behaviour:

bbe@1Peter:2:19 @For it is a sign of grace if a man, desiring to do right in the eyes of God, undergoes pain as punishment for something which he has not done.

bbe@1Peter:2:20 @What credit is it if, when you have done evil, you take your punishment quietly? but if you are given punishment for doing right, and take it quietly, this is pleasing to God.

bbe@1Peter:2:21 @This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps:

bbe@1Peter:2:23 @To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:

bbe@1Peter:2:25 @Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.

bbe@1Peter:3:1 @Wives, be ruled by your husbands; so that even if some of them give no attention to the word, their hearts may be changed by the behaviour of their wives,

bbe@1Peter:3:3 @Do not let your ornaments be those of the body such as dressing of the hair, or putting on of jewels of gold or fair clothing;

bbe@1Peter:3:4 @But let them be those of the unseen man of the heart, the ever-shining ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great price in the eyes of God.

bbe@1Peter:3:5 @And these were the ornaments of the holy women of the past, whose hope was in God, being ruled by their husbands:

bbe@1Peter:3:8 @Last of all, see that you are all in agreement; feeling for one another, loving one another like brothers, full of pity, without pride:

bbe@1Peter:3:15 @But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride;

bbe@1Peter:3:16 @Being conscious that you have done no wrong; so that those who say evil things about your good way of life as Christians may be put to shame.

bbe@1Peter:3:18 @Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

bbe@1Peter:3:20 @Who, in the days of Noah, went against God's orders; but God in his mercy kept back the punishment, while Noah got ready the ark, in which a small number, that is to say eight persons, got salvation through water:

bbe@1Peter:4:1 @So that as Jesus was put to death in the flesh, do you yourselves be of the same mind; for the death of the flesh puts an end to sin;

bbe@1Peter:4:2 @So that you may give the rest of your lives in the flesh, not to the desires of men, but to the purpose of God.

bbe@1Peter:4:3 @Because for long enough, in times past, we have been living after the way of the Gentiles, given up to the desires of the flesh, to drinking and feasting and loose behaviour and unclean worship of images;

bbe@1Peter:4:6 @For this was the reason why the good news of Jesus was given even to the dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but might be living before God in the spirit.

bbe@1Peter:4:10 @Making distribution among one another of whatever has been given to you, like true servants of the unmeasured grace of God;

bbe@1Peter:4:12 @Dear brothers, do not be surprised, as if it was something strange, if your faith is tested as by fire:

bbe@1Peter:4:14 @If men say evil things of you because of the name of Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you.

bbe@1Peter:4:15 @Let no one among you undergo punishment as a taker of life, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as one who is over-interested in other men's business;

bbe@1Peter:4:16 @But if he undergoes punishment as a Christian, that is no shame to him; let him give glory to God in this name.

bbe@1Peter:4:17 @For the time has come for the judging, starting with the church of God; but if it makes a start with us, what will be the end of those who are not under the rule of God?

bbe@1Peter:4:19 @For this reason let those who by the purpose of God undergo punishment, keep on in well-doing and put their souls into the safe hands of their Maker.

bbe@1Peter:5:1 @I who am myself one of the rulers of the church, and a witness of the death of Christ, having my part in the coming glory, send this serious request to the chief men among you:

bbe@1Peter:5:5 @And in the same way, let the younger men be ruled by the older ones. Let all of you put away pride and make yourselves ready to be servants: for God is a hater of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low.

bbe@1Peter:5:6 @For this cause make yourselves low under the strong hand of God, so that when the time comes you may be lifted up;

bbe@1Peter:5:9 @Do not give way to him but be strong in your faith, in the knowledge that your brothers who are in the world undergo the same troubles.

bbe@1Peter:5:10 @And after you have undergone pain for a little time, the God of all grace who has given you a part in his eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will himself give you strength and support, and make you complete in every good thing;

bbe@2Peter:1:1 @Simon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who with us have a part in the same holy faith in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

bbe@2Peter:1:8 @For if you have these things in good measure, they will make you fertile and full of fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Peter:1:9 @For the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old sins.

bbe@2Peter:1:12 @For this reason I will be ready at all times to keep your memory of these things awake, though you have the knowledge of them now and are well based in your present faith.

bbe@2Peter:1:13 @And it seems right to me, as long as I am in this tent of flesh, to keep your minds awake by working on your memory;

bbe@2Peter:1:14 @For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

bbe@2Peter:1:15 @And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death.

bbe@2Peter:1:17 @For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@2Peter:1:18 @And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

bbe@2Peter:1:19 @And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;

bbe@2Peter:1:21 @For these words did not ever come through the impulse of men: but the prophets had them from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

bbe@2Peter:2:1 @But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly put forward wrong teachings for your destruction, even turning away from the Lord who gave himself for them; whose destruction will come quickly, and they themselves will be the cause of it.

bbe@2Peter:2:2 @And a great number will go with them in their evil ways, through whom the true way will have a bad name.

bbe@2Peter:2:3 @And in their desire for profit they will come to you with words of deceit, like traders doing business in souls: whose punishment has been ready for a long time and their destruction is watching for them.

bbe@2Peter:2:5 @And did not have mercy on the world which then was, but only kept safe Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when he let loose the waters over the world of the evil-doers;

bbe@2Peter:2:8 @(Because the soul of that upright man living among them was pained from day to day by seeing and hearing their crimes):

bbe@2Peter:2:9 @The Lord is able to keep the upright safe in the time of testing, and to keep evil-doers under punishment till the day of judging;

bbe@2Peter:2:12 @But these men, like beasts without reason, whose natural use is to be taken and put to death, crying out against things of which they have no knowledge, will undergo that same destruction which they are designing for others;

bbe@2Peter:2:13 @For the evil which overtakes them is the reward of their evil-doing: such men take their pleasure in the delights of the flesh even in the daytime; they are like the marks of a disease, like poisoned wounds among you, feasting together with you in joy;

bbe@2Peter:2:15 @Turning out of the true way, they have gone wandering in error, after the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was pleased to take payment for wrongdoing;

bbe@2Peter:2:20 @For if, after they have got free from the unclean things of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again taken in the net and overcome, their last condition is worse than their first.

bbe@2Peter:3:3 @Having first of all the knowledge that in the last days there will be men who, ruled by their evil desires, will make sport of holy things,

bbe@2Peter:3:5 @But in taking this view they put out of their minds the memory that in the old days there was a heaven, and an earth lifted out of the water and circled by water, by the word of God;

bbe@2Peter:3:6 @And that the world which then was came to an end through the overflowing of the waters.

bbe@2Peter:3:7 @But the present heaven and the present earth have been kept for destruction by fire, which is waiting for them on the day of the judging and destruction of evil men.

bbe@2Peter:3:8 @But, my loved ones, keep in mind this one thing, that with the Lord one day is the same as a thousand years, and a thousand years are no more than one day.

bbe@2Peter:3:9 @The Lord is not slow in keeping his word, as he seems to some, but he is waiting in mercy for you, not desiring the destruction of any, but that all may be turned from their evil ways.

bbe@2Peter:3:10 @But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; and in that day the heavens will be rolled up with a great noise, and the substance of the earth will be changed by violent heat, and the world and everything in it will be burned up

bbe@2Peter:3:12 @Looking for and truly desiring the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will come to an end through fire, and the substance of the earth will be changed by the great heat?

bbe@2Peter:3:14 @For this reason, my loved ones, as you are looking for these things, take great care that when he comes you may be in peace before him, free from sin and every evil thing.

bbe@2Peter:3:16 @And as he said in all his letters, which had to do with these things; in which are some hard sayings, so that, like the rest of the holy Writings, they are twisted by those who are uncertain and without knowledge, to the destruction of their souls.

bbe@1John:1:1 @That which was from the first, which has come to our ears, and which we have seen with our eyes, looking on it and touching it with our hands, about the Word of life

bbe@1John:1:3 @We give you word of all we have seen and everything which has come to our ears, so that you may be united with us; and we are united with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ:

bbe@1John:1:5 @This is the word which came to us from him and which we give to you, that God is light and in him there is nothing dark.

bbe@1John:2:7 @My loved ones, I do not give you a new law, but an old law which you had from the first; this old law is the word which came to your ears.

bbe@1John:2:12 @I am writing to you, my children, because you have forgiveness of sins through his name.

bbe@1John:2:13 @I am writing to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil One. I have sent a letter to you, children, because you have knowledge of the Father.

bbe@1John:2:14 @I have sent a letter to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I have sent a letter to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and because you have overcome the Evil One.

bbe@1John:2:18 @Little children, it is the last hour; and as you were given word that the Antichrist would come, so now a number of Antichrists have come to you; and by this we are certain that it is the last hour.

bbe@1John:2:28 @And now, my children, keep your hearts in him; so that at his revelation, we may have no fear or shame before him at his coming.

bbe@1John:3:5 @And you have knowledge that he came to take away sin: and in him there is no sin.

bbe@1John:3:14 @We are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers. He who has no love is still in death.

bbe@1John:3:23 @And this is his law, that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love for one another, even as he said to us.

bbe@1John:4:2 @By this you may have knowledge of the Spirit of God: every spirit which says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:

bbe@1John:4:4 @You are of God, my little children, and you have overcome them because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

bbe@1John:4:21 @And this is the word which we have from him, that he who has love for God is to have the same love for his brother.

bbe@1John:5:4 @Anything which comes from God is able to overcome the world: and the power by which we have overcome the world is our faith.

bbe@1John:5:5 @Who is able to overcome the world but the man who has faith that Jesus is the Son of God?

bbe@1John:5:6 @This is he who came by water and by blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and by blood.

bbe@1John:5:8 @There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood: and all three are in agreement.

bbe@1John:5:9 @If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son.

bbe@1John:5:13 @I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life.

bbe@1John:5:16 @If a man sees his brother doing a sin which is not bad enough for death, let him make a prayer to God, and God will give life to him whose sin was not bad enough for death. There is a sin whose punishment is death: I do not say that he may make such a request then.

bbe@1John:5:17 @All evil-doing is sin: but death is not the punishment for every sort of sin.

bbe@1John:5:20 @And we are certain that the Son of God has come, and has given us a clear vision, so that we may see him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

bbe@2John:1:3 @May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in all true love.

bbe@2John:1:4 @It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father.

bbe@2John:1:7 @Because a number of false teachers have gone out into the world, who do not give witness that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such a one is a false teacher and Antichrist.

bbe@2John:1:10 @If anyone comes to you not having this teaching, do not take him into your house or give him words of love:

bbe@2John:1:12 @Having much to say to you, it is not my purpose to put it all down with paper and ink: but I am hoping to come to you, and to have talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.

bbe@3John:1:3 @For it gave me great joy when some of the brothers came and gave witness that you had the true faith and were walking in the true way.

bbe@3John:1:5 @My loved one, you are doing a good work in being kind to those brothers who come from other places;

bbe@3John:1:7 @For they went out for love of the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

bbe@3John:1:8 @So it is right for us to take in such men as guests, so that we may take our part in the work of the true faith.

bbe@3John:1:10 @So if I come, I will keep in mind the things he does, talking against us with evil words: and as if this was not enough, he does not take the brothers into his house, and those who are ready to take them in, he keeps from doing so, putting them out of the church if they do.

bbe@3John:1:12 @Demetrius has the approval of all men and of what is true: and we give the same witness, and you are certain that our witness is true.

bbe@3John:1:14 @But I am hoping to see you in a short time, and to have talk with you face to face.

bbe@Jude:1:1 @Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James, to those of God's selection who have been made holy by God the Father and are kept safe for Jesus Christ:

bbe@Jude:1:2 @May mercy and peace and love be increased in you.

bbe@Jude:1:3 @My loved ones, while my thoughts were full of a letter which I was going to send you about our common salvation, it was necessary for me to send you one requesting you with all my heart to go on fighting strongly for the faith which has been given to the saints once and for ever.

bbe@Jude:1:4 @For certain men have come among you secretly, marked out before in the holy Writings for this evil fate, men without the fear of God, turning his grace into an unclean thing, and false to our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

bbe@Jude:1:7 @Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the towns near them, having like these, given themselves up to unclean desires and gone after strange flesh, have been made an example, undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

bbe@Jude:1:8 @In the same way these dreamers make the flesh unclean, having no respect for authorities, and say evil of rulers.

bbe@Jude:1:10 @But these men say evil about such things as they have no knowledge of; and the things of which they have natural knowledge, like beasts without reason, are the cause of their destruction.

bbe@Jude:1:11 @A curse on them! They have gone in the way of Cain, running uncontrolled into the error of Balaam for reward, and have come to destruction by saying evil against the Lord, like Korah.

bbe@Jude:1:12 @These men are unseen rocks at your love-feasts, when they take part in them with you, keepers of sheep who without fear take the food of the sheep; clouds without water rushing before the wind, wasted trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots,

bbe@Jude:1:13 @Violent waves of the sea, streaming with their shame, wandering stars for whom the darkest night is kept in store for ever.

bbe@Jude:1:14 @The prophet Enoch, who was the seventh after Adam, said of these men, The Lord came with tens of thousands of his saints,

bbe@Jude:1:16 @These are the men who make trouble, ever desiring change, going after evil pleasures, using high-sounding words, respecting men's position in the hope of reward.

bbe@Jude:1:17 @But you, my loved ones, keep in memory the words which were said before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

bbe@Jude:1:18 @How they said to you, In the last days there will be men who, guided by their evil desires, will make sport of holy things.

bbe@Jude:1:19 @These are the men who make divisions, natural men, not having the Spirit.

bbe@Jude:1:21 @Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for life eternal through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Jude:1:23 @And to some give salvation, pulling them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the clothing which is made unclean by the flesh.

bbe@Jude:1:25 @To the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, let us give glory and honour and authority and power, before all time and now and for ever. So be it.
