riversident@Romans:1:3 @ concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord (who became one of the descendants of David according to the flesh,

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

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

riversident@Romans:1:9 @ For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of his Son, is my witness how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers

riversident@Romans:1:10 @ asking if I may somehow at some time by the will of God find the way open to come to you.

riversident@Romans:1:11 @ For I long to see you that I may impart to you some spiritual gift of grace in order that you may be strengthened,

riversident@Romans:1:13 @ I am not willing that you should be ignorant, brethren, that often I have purposed to come to you (note:)though until now I have been hindered(:note), in order that I might have some fruit among you as among the other Gentiles.

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

riversident@Romans:1:15 @ so, for my part, I am eager to tell the good news also to you in Rome.

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

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

riversident@Romans:1:22 @ Boasting of being wise, they became fools

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

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

riversident@Romans:1:32 @ They know the just judgment of God that those who practice such things are worthy of death, yet they not only do them themselves, but are pleased with those who practice them.

riversident@Romans:2:1 @ THEREFORE you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge. For in judging another you condemn yourself. For you, the judge, practice the same things.

riversident@Romans:2:2 @ But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who practice such things.

riversident@Romans:2:3 @ Do you think, O man, you who judge those who practice such things while you do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

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

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

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

riversident@Romans:2:16 @ on the day when God judges the secrets of men through Jesus Christ, as my good news sets forth.

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

riversident@Romans:2:24 @ For "The name of God is reviled among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written.

riversident@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision has value if you obey the Law. But if you are a breaker of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

riversident@Romans:2:26 @ If an uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be credited for circumcision?

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

riversident@Romans:3:3 @ For what if some were faithless, will their faithlessness prevent the faithfulness of God?

riversident@Romans:3:7 @ But if the truth of God has become more abundant to his glory through my lie, why am I still condemned as a sinner?

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

riversident@Romans:3:12 @ All have turned away; together they have become worthless; there is none who does what is useful, not even one.

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

riversident@Romans:3:20 @ Therefore by works of the Law no human being will be pronounced righteous before him. For through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

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

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

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

riversident@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was pronounced righteous because of works, he had something to boast of. But he had nothing before God;

riversident@Romans:4:9 @ Does this blessedness come to the circumcision, or also to the uncircumcision? For we say, "Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness."

riversident@Romans:4:13 @ It was not through the Law that the promise came to Abraham or to his descendants that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

riversident@Romans:4:18 @ Abraham, when hope was past, believed in hope so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was said to him, "So shall your descendants be";

riversident@Romans:5:6 @ For while we were still without strength Christ, at the due time, died for the unrighteous.

riversident@Romans:5:7 @ Hardly for a righteous man will any one die. For a good man some one perhaps may dare to die.

riversident@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore as through one man sin entered the world, and through sin death entered, and so death spread to all men, since all sinned \'97

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

riversident@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift was not like the sentence that came through one who sinned; for the sentence came from one fall for condemnation, but the free gift was that men should be called righteous in spite of many falls.

riversident@Romans:5:18 @ As then through one fall sentence came upon all men and they were condemned; so through one righteous act the free gift came to all men so that they are pronounced righteous and live.

riversident@Romans:5:20 @ But law came in alongside that the fall might be greater; but where sin became greater grace became greater still,

riversident@Romans:6:6 @ For we know this, that our old-time humanity was crucified with him, in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we might no longer be slaves of sin.

riversident@Romans:6:13 @ and do not yield your members to sin as the instruments of wickedness; but present yourselves to God as men once dead, but now living, and yield your members to God as the instruments of righteousness.

riversident@Romans:6:17 @ Thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin you became obedient from the heart to the type of teaching in which you were instructed.

riversident@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking humanly on account of the weakness of your human nature. As you did present your members as servants to impurity and to lawlessness to do lawlessness, so now you have presented your members as servants to righteousness for holy living.

riversident@Romans:6:21 @ What fruit did you have then? Fruit of which you are now ashamed; for the end of those things is death.

riversident@Romans:6:22 @ But now freed from sin and having become servants of God you have your fruit in holy living and its outcome, life eternal.

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

riversident@Romans:7:4 @ So, my brethren, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ, that you might become wedded to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bear fruit to God.

riversident@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh the sinful passions that arise through the Law were active in our members, so that we bore fruit to death.

riversident@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Never. But I should not have come to know sin except through the Law. I should not have known lust if the Law had not said, "Thou shalt not lust."

riversident@Romans:7:8 @ Sin, taking occasion through the commandment, worked in me every lust. For apart from the Law sin is dead.

riversident@Romans:7:9 @ I was living once, apart from law. But when the commandment came, sin began to live and I died,

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

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

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

riversident@Romans:7:13 @ Did then what is good become death to me? Never. But sin, that it might appear sin, worked death in me through the good, in order that it might become beyond measure sinful.

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

riversident@Romans:7:21 @ I find then this rule, when I choose to do the right, that evil is present with me.

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

riversident@Romans:7:24 @ Wretched man that I am! who will deliver me from this body of death?

riversident@Romans:8:18 @ For I estimate that the sufferings of this present time amount to nothing in comparison with the glory that is to be revealed for us.

riversident@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom he foreknew he also predetermined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among many brethren.

riversident@Romans:8:38 @ For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor archangels, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

riversident@Romans:9:1 @ I AM speaking the truth in Christ; I am saying nothing false; my conscience bears witness with me in the Holy Spirit

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

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

riversident@Romans:9:7 @ nor because they are descendants of Abraham are they all children; but "through Isaac shall your descendants be named."

riversident@Romans:9:9 @ For the wording of the promise was, "At this time next year I will come and Sarah shall have a son."

riversident@Romans:9:11 @ though the same man was father of both children and they were not yet born and had done nothing good or bad, in order that the purpose of God according to his choice might stand, not according to their works, but according to his call,

riversident@Romans:9:13 @ In the same way it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

riversident@Romans:9:15 @ For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

riversident@Romans:9:16 @ So then it is not a question of the man who wills or who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

riversident@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I raised you up in order to show my power upon you and to have my name proclaimed in all the earth."

riversident@Romans:9:18 @ So then he has mercy on whom he chooses and he hardens whom he chooses.

riversident@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who has opposed his will?"

riversident@Romans:9:20 @ But who are you, O man, who are answering back to God? Does the thing that is moulded say to the moulder, "Why have you made me so?"

riversident@Romans:9:21 @ Has not the potter the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

riversident@Romans:9:23 @ and in order to make known the richness of his glory upon the vessels of mercy which he had prepared for glory

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

riversident@Romans:9:33 @ as it is written, "See, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone, a rock to trip over, but he who has faith in him will never be put to shame."

riversident@Romans:10:10 @ For with the heart a man believes and becomes righteous, and with the mouth he confesses and attains salvation.

riversident@Romans:10:11 @ For the Scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame."

riversident@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no difference between Jew and Greek. For there is the same Lord of all, rich toward all who call upon him.

riversident@Romans:10:13 @ For "Every one who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

riversident@Romans:10:14 @ How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? How shall they hear without some one to proclaim him?

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

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

riversident@Romans:11:4 @ But what was the divine response? "I have left to myself seven thousand men who have not knelt to Baal."

riversident@Romans:11:5 @ So at this present time there is a remnant according to a gracious selection.

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

riversident@Romans:11:11 @ I say, then, have they stumbled just in order that they may fall? Never. But by their fall salvation comes to the Gentiles so as to arouse the emulation of the Jews.

riversident@Romans:11:14 @ if in any way I may arouse to emulation my own kindred and save some of them \'97

riversident@Romans:11:15 @ if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their welcome back be but life from the dead?

riversident@Romans:11:17 @ If some of the branches were broken off and you, who are a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a sharer in the root and rich sap of the olive,

riversident@Romans:11:25 @ I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that you may not be self-conceited, because stupidity in a measure has come upon Israel until the full number of Gentiles comes in,

riversident@Romans:11:26 @ and thus all Israel will be saved, as it is written, "From Zion will come the deliverer. He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.

riversident@Romans:11:30 @ For as you were once disobedient to God, but now have found mercy through their disobedience,

riversident@Romans:11:31 @ so they have now been disobedient in your time of mercy, that they too may now obtain mercy.

riversident@Romans:11:32 @ For God has shut up all in unbelief in order that he may have mercy on all.

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

riversident@Romans:11:34 @ For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who became his counsellor?

riversident@Romans:11:35 @ Who first gave to him so as to receive repayment?

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

riversident@Romans:12:1 @ I BEG you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, pleasing to God \'97 your rational worship.

riversident@Romans:12:2 @ Do not follow the fashions of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your minds so as to recognize what is the good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

riversident@Romans:12:3 @ Through the grace given to me I say to every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought, but to think so as to become wise, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.

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

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

riversident@Romans:12:16 @ Be in harmony with one another. Do not be thinking of high things, but be content with humble things. Do not become conceited.

riversident@Romans:12:17 @ Repay to no one evil for evil. Aim at what is honorable in the sight of all men.

riversident@Romans:12:18 @ If possible, so far as depends on you, live at peace with all men.

riversident@Romans:12:21 @ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

riversident@Romans:13:2 @ So he who resists the authority opposes the arrangement of God. Those who resist will bring on themselves condemnation.

riversident@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore we must be obedient, not only because of the punishment but as a matter of conscience.

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

riversident@Romans:13:11 @ Live thus because you know this crisis, for it is already time for you to awake from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we became believers.

riversident@Romans:14:1 @ WELCOME him who is weak in the faith, but not in order to decide disputed questions.

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

riversident@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me and every tongue shall confess to God."

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

riversident@Romans:14:21 @ It is noble not to eat meat or to drink wine or to do anything over which your brother stumbles.

riversident@Romans:15:3 @ For Christ did not please himself, but, as it is written, "The reproaches of those who were reproaching thee fell on me."

riversident@Romans:15:4 @ All that was written of old was written for our instruction, in order that by patience and by the encouragement of the Scriptures we may have hope.

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

riversident@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore, welcome one another as Christ welcomed us, to the glory of God.

riversident@Romans:15:8 @ For I say that Christ became a servant of circumcision for the sake of God's truth, in order to confirm the promises given to the fathers

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

riversident@Romans:15:15 @ But I have written rather boldly to you, partly to remind you, because of the grace given to me from God,

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

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

riversident@Romans:15:20 @ being ambitious to tell the good news where Christ has not been named, so that I might not build on any other man's foundation,

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Romans:15:33 @ The God of peace be with all of you! Amen.

riversident@Romans:16:1 @ I COMMEND to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchreae,

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

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

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

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

riversident@1Corinthians:1:6 @ so that my testimony to Christ has been confirmed among you

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

riversident@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been told me regarding you, brethren, by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:12 @ I mean that each of you is saying, "I belong to Paul," "I belong to Apollos," "I belong to Cephas," or, "I belong to Christ."

riversident@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

riversident@1Corinthians:1:15 @ so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the good news \'97 not in wisdom of words, that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of meaning.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For when in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not come to know God, God was pleased to save through the foolishness of our proclamation those who believe.

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For who of men knows what pertains to a man except the spirit of the man which is in him. Just so no one knows what pertains to God except the Spirit of God.

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

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

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

riversident@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If any one of you thinks himself wise in this world, let him become a fool in order to become wise.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:21 @ Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:3:22 @ Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come \'97 all are yours

riversident@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But it is of very slight importance to me to be judged by you or any human court. I do not even pass judgment on myself.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:4:8 @ You are already fully satisfied. You have already become rich. You have become kings without us. Would that you had become kings so that we might be kings with you!

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

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

riversident@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:16 @ So I beg you to be imitators of me.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Some persons have become puffed up, thinking that I am not coming to you.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I shall come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will find out, not the talk of these puffed-up ones, but their power.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:21 @ Which do you wish? Shall I come with a rod or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

riversident@1Corinthians:5:4 @ When you assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit was also present with the power of our Lord Jesus,

riversident@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your boasting is unbecoming. Do you not know that a little yeast sets the whole mass fermenting?

riversident@1Corinthians:5:10 @ certainly not meaning the unchaste of this world, or the covetous or extortionate or idolaters, since in that case you would have to leave the world.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have affairs of this life, do you ask men who in the view of the church count for nothing to sit as judges?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Is it true that there is among you no one wise enough to judge between a man and his brother,

riversident@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such some of you were. But you have washed yourselves; but you have been made holy; but you have been pronounced righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:12 @ All things are lawful for me, but not everything is beneficial. All things are lawful, but I will not be overpowered by anything.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that he who unites himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For God says, "The two shall become one flesh."

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

riversident@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another, unless by agreement for a time, that you may have freedom for prayer, and again come together. You must not let Satan tempt you through your lack of self-control.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:18 @ Was any one already circumcised when called? Let him not efface it. Was any one called when uncircumcised? Let him not become circumcised.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:25 @ In regard to unmarried women I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who through the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:29 @ But this I say, brethren: The time is shortened. For what remains let those who have wives be as if they had none,

riversident@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But all have not this knowledge. Some, having been accustomed to idols up to the present time, eat the food as a sacrifice to an idol, and their conscience being weak is stained.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But be careful that this power of yours may not become a stumbling block to the weak.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:9:3 @ My defence to those who criticize me is this:

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

riversident@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these rights and I am not writing this in order that it may be done in my case. For it would be better for me to die \'97 No one shall make my boast an empty one!

riversident@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For although I tell the good news I have nothing to boast of. For a necessity is laid upon me. Alas for me if I do not tell the good news!

riversident@1Corinthians:9:20 @ I became to the Jews a Jew, to gain the Jews; to those under law as under law, though not myself under law, to gain those who are under law.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:9:22 @ To the weak I became weak to gain the weak. To all men I became all things in order by all means to save some.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:23 @ I do all things for the sake of the good news that I may become a partner with it.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:20 @ But I say that what they sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God. And I would not have you become partakers with demons.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one says to you, "This is meat that has been sacrificed," do not eat, for the sake of him who mentioned it and for conscience' sake \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will say, How are the dead raised, and with what sort of bodies do they come?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:36 @ Thoughtless man! What you yourself sow does not come to life unless it dies.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And what you sow is not the body that will come, but a mere grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who encourages us in every distress so that we may be able to encourage those who are in every distress by the encouragement by which we ourselves have been encouraged by God.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:5 @ Because as the sufferings of Christ are abundant in our case, so through Christ our encouragement is abundant.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:6 @ But if we are in distress, it is for your encouragement and salvation. If we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement which is effective in the endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:7 @ Our hope is strong regarding you, since we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings so you are of the encouragement.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding the distress that came on us in Asia \'97 that we were exceedingly weighed down, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:15 @ With this confidence I intended to come to you first, so that you might have a second favor,

riversident@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was proclaimed among you by us \'97 myself and Silvanus and Timothy \'97 was not yes and no, but in him was yes.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For all the promises of God, however many, have their yes in him. Therefore also through him is the Amen to the glory of God through us.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:23 @ I call God as a witness against my soul that in order to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:1 @ BUT I decided this in my own mind, not to come again to you in sorrow.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I grieve you, who is there to cheer me except those who are grieved by me?

riversident@2Corinthians:2:3 @ I am writing this very thing so that I may not come and have grief from those who ought to make me glad, for I am confident in regard to all of you that my joy is yours.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For out of great distress and pain of heart I am writing with many tears, not that you may be grieved, but that you may know the love that I have beyond measure for you.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if any one has caused grief, he has grieved not me, but to some extent \'97 not to be too severe \'97 all of you.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:6 @ Sufficient for such a one is this punishment by the majority,

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

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

riversident@2Corinthians:3:7 @ If the service that brought death, engraved in letters on stones, came in glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face \'97 that fading glory \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what was to be ended came in glory, much more glorious must be that which is enduring.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:14 @ but their thinking was dulled. For to this day the same veil remains unlifted when the old covenant is read; because it is done away only in Christ.

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

riversident@2Corinthians:4:1 @ THEREFORE, having this service through God's mercy, we are not downhearted,

riversident@2Corinthians:4:2 @ but we have renounced shameful secret things, not living in craftiness nor adulterating God's message, but by the openness of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

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

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

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

riversident@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For in this we sigh in earnest desire to put on our dwelling that comes from heaven,

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

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

riversident@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear as we truly are before the judgment seat of Christ, that each may receive the award for what he has done with his body, according to his actions, whether good or bad.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Knowing, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we are persuading men. What we are is plain to God, and I hope that it is also plain to your consciences.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:8 @ by honor and shame, by slander and praise; as deceivers yet true,

riversident@2Corinthians:7:1 @ HAVING then these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every defilement of flesh or spirit, in reverence for God making our holiness complete.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:4 @ Great is my frankness in speaking to you; great is my boasting of you; I am filled with encouragement, running over with joy at every distress of ours.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For since we came to Macedonia our flesh has had no rest, but we have been distressed in every way, conflicts without, fears within.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not by his coming only, but also by the encouragement by which he was encouraged about you. He told us of your longing for me, your lamentation, your zeal in my behalf, so that I rejoice the more.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For if I grieved you in my letter I do not regret it, though I did regret it, seeing that that letter grieved you even for a time,

riversident@2Corinthians:7:11 @ Notice this very grieving as God approves, how great earnestness resulted from it in your case, what effort to defend yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what just punishment! In everything you showed yourselves blameless in the matter.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:13 @ On this account we have been encouraged. In addition to this encouragement of ours, we rejoiced very much more over the joy of Titus because his spirit has been refreshed by you all,

riversident@2Corinthians:7:14 @ for if I have made any boast regarding you I have not been put to shame, but as we spoke everything in truth to you so our boasting over Titus turned out the truth.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his affections go out more strongly to you when he remembers the obedience of you all, how with reverence and trembling you received him.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich yet for your sake he became poor, that you by his poverty might become rich.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:11 @ But now complete the doing, that as there was a readiness in willing so there may be a completion according to your means.

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

riversident@2Corinthians:9:1 @ REGARDING the service to the holy, it is superfluous for me to write to you.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:4 @ and if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we, not to say you, may not be made ashamed of this confidence.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:13 @ By the proof afforded by this service men are led to glorify God for your fidelity to your profession of faith in the good news of Christ, and for the liberality of your contributions toward them and toward all.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I pray that I may not when present have to be bold with the confidence with which I expect to show my courage against some who think of us as living according to the flesh.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:1 @ O THAT you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Yes, bear with me.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if some newcomer proclaims another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or if you receive a different kind of spirit which you did not receive, or a different good news which you did not welcome, you bear with him finely.

riversident@Galatians:1:16 @ was pleased to reveal his Son in me that I might tell the good news of him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not consult with flesh and blood,

riversident@Galatians:2:6 @ But from those who were esteemed to be something \'97 whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God does not regard the social standing of a man \'97 those who were most esteemed did not impart to me anything additional.

riversident@Galatians:2:11 @ But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he had been justly censured.

riversident@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain persons came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

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

riversident@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ. I am living, yet no longer I, but Christ is living in me. The life that I am now living in flesh I am living by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

riversident@Galatians:3:14 @ in order that the blessing of Abraham might in Jesus Christ come on the Gentiles, that they might receive through faith the promise of the Spirit.

riversident@Galatians:3:16 @ But the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "and to offsprings," as meaning many, but as if meaning one, "and to your offspring," who is Christ.

riversident@Galatians:3:17 @ I mean this, a covenant ratified by God, the Law that came four hundred and thirty years afterward does not annul, so as to defeat the promise.

riversident@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then was the Law? It was added later to make transgressions, until the Offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was arranged through angels by the hand of a mediator.

riversident@Galatians:3:20 @ A mediator does not belong to one person, but God is one.

riversident@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the Law then against the promises of God? Never! For if a law had been given which could give life, then really righteousness would have come by law.

riversident@Galatians:3:23 @ Before faith came we were guarded under law, shut up waiting for the faith that was to be revealed.

riversident@Galatians:3:24 @ Thus the Law became our tutor leading us to Christ, that we might be declared righteous by faith.

riversident@Galatians:3:25 @ Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

riversident@Galatians:4:3 @ So we, when we were under age, were enslaved under the elementary lessons of the world;

riversident@Galatians:4:4 @ but, when the fullness of time came, God sent forth his Son born of a woman, born under the Law,

riversident@Galatians:4:8 @ At the time when you did not know God you were enslaved to what by nature are not gods.

riversident@Galatians:4:11 @ You make me afraid that I have labored over you uselessly.

riversident@Galatians:4:12 @ Become like me, brethren, I beg of you, for I became like you. You have not wronged me in anything.

riversident@Galatians:4:14 @ And you did not despise or spurn what was a trial to you in my bodily condition, but welcomed me as you would an angel of God, as you would Christ Jesus.

riversident@Galatians:4:15 @ Where now is the blessing you pronounced on me? For I bear you witness that if it had been possible you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as if we were pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ Nor did we ever fall into flattering talk, as you know, nor use any pretext for self-enrichment \'97 God is witness \'97

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or others, although we could have claimed the dignity of Christ's apostles.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ But we became gentle in the midst of you like a nursing mother cherishing her own children.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ Yearning over you so, we would gladly have imparted to you not only God's good news but our own lives as well, because you had become dear to us.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember, brethren, our toil and labor as we worked night and day so as not to burden any one of you while we proclaimed to you the good news of God.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You are witnesses \'97 and God is witness \'97 how purely and justly and blamelessly we acted toward you who believe.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this reason we unceasingly give thanks to God that when you received from us the report of the message of God you accepted it not as the message of men, but, as it truly is, the message of God, which also is doing its work in you who believe.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you became imitators, brethren, of the churches of God that are in Judaea in Christ Jesus, because you too suffered the same things from your fellow countrymen that they did from the Jews,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out and do not please God and are enemies to all men,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. All this goes always to fill up the measure of their sins. But God's fiercest wrath has overtaken them.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ For that reason we determined to come to you, yes, I, Paul, more than once: but Satan hindered us.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For when we were with you we told you in advance, "We shall soon have trouble." And so it came to pass, as you know.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has come to us from you and has brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always keep us well in mind and long to see us, just as we long to see you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ while we pray beyond measure night and day that we may see your faces and make good whatever lacks there may be in your faith?

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ May our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus Christ open the way for us to come to you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ The Lord make you to abound and overflow in love toward one another and toward all men, just as we do toward you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ that your hearts may be made firm and you may be blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God: to have you become holy and have you shun unchastity;

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ Regarding brotherly love you have no need for me to write to you. For you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another,

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ and you do the same to all the brethren in the whole of Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, to excel still further

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ We do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding those who are sleeping, that you may not sorrow as the rest of men who have no hope.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ Then we, the living, who are left, will be caught up along with them into the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall forever be with the Lord.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ BUT regarding times and dates, brethren, you do not need to have me write to you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ Then let us not be sleeping like the rest of men, but let us watch and be sober.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us who are of the day be sober. Let us put on the breastplate of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

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

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I solemnly charge you in the Lord's name to have this letter read to all the brethren.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ This is a proof of God's righteous judgment. It is to make you worthy of God's kingdom, on behalf of which you are suffering,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he comes to be glorified among his holy ones and to be wondered at on that day among all believers \'97 for our testimony to you was believed.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ WITH regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to meet him, I beg you, brethren,

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be quickly unsettled in mind nor excited by either a revelation or by a message or a letter supposed to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is close at hand.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come until the Apostasy has first come and the Man of Lawlessness has been revealed \'97 the Son of Perdition,

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that while I was still with you I used to tell you this?

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

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

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ IN conclusion, brethren, pray for us, that the Lord's message may run and be glorified, as among you,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be saved from the unreasonable and wicked men, for faith does not belong to all.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ We charge you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to stand aloof from every brother who is living in a disorderly way and not according to the teaching that you received from us.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that some among you are leading disorderly lives, busy about nothing and yet busybodies.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But you, brethren, must not become discouraged in doing well.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If any one does not obey our words in this letter, mark that man and do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ The Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

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

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

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

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

riversident@1Timothy:1:6 @ Some missing these have turned aside to empty talk,

riversident@1Timothy:1:10 @ for the unchaste, for those who practice unnatural vices, for slave-dealers, liars, perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to wholesome teaching

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

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

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

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

riversident@1Timothy:1:16 @ But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might show all of his long-suffering for an example for those who are to believe in him and gain life eternal.

riversident@1Timothy:1:17 @ To the King of the ages, the immortal, invisible, only God, be honor and glory for the ages of the ages! Amen.

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave himself as a ransom for all, a fact to be witnessed to at the fitting time.

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

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

riversident@1Timothy:2:10 @ but \'97 as is becoming for women professing piety \'97 with good deeds.

riversident@1Timothy:2:13 @ Adam was first formed, then Eve.

riversident@1Timothy:3:8 @ Deacons, in the same way, must be dignified, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not eager for base gain,

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

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

riversident@1Timothy:3:14 @ I am writing these things to you, although I hope to come to you soon,

riversident@1Timothy:3:16 @ Confessedly great is the mystery of godliness: "Who was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory."

riversident@1Timothy:4:1 @ THE Spirit says distinctly that in later times some will desert from the faith, giving attention to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons,

riversident@1Timothy:4:2 @ through the hypocrisy of men who teach falsely, branded in their own consciences,

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

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

riversident@1Timothy:4:10 @ For to this end we are laboring and wrestling, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

riversident@1Timothy:4:13 @ Until I come give attention to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.

riversident@1Timothy:5:1 @ Do not rebuke an older man, but entreat him as a father, the younger men as brothers,

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

riversident@1Timothy:5:13 @ At the same time they learn to be idle, going around from house to house, and not only idle, but gossips, and busybodies, saying what they should not.

riversident@1Timothy:5:15 @ For already some have turned aside after Satan.

riversident@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not lay hands of ordination upon any one hastily. Have no share in the sins of other men. Keep yourself pure.

riversident@1Timothy:5:23 @ Do not keep on being a water-drinker, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and because of your frequent ailments.

riversident@1Timothy:5:24 @ Some men's sins are conspicuous and go on before to condemnation, but the sins of some men follow after them.

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

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

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

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

riversident@1Timothy:6:6 @ Religion with contentment is a great source of gain.

riversident@1Timothy:6:9 @ But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and injurious passions which plunge men into destruction and ruin.

riversident@1Timothy:6:10 @ For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some men grasping for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pangs.

riversident@1Timothy:6:12 @ Play the grand hard game of the faith. Lay hold on life eternal, to which you have been called and have made the noble confession before many witnesses.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@2Timothy:1:8 @ Do not be ashamed to testify for our Lord or for me his prisoner, but join in suffering hardships for the good news as God gives power.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@2Timothy:2:6 @ The farmer who does the labor ought first to have his share of the fruits.

riversident@2Timothy:2:8 @ Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David, as my good news teaches.

riversident@2Timothy:2:9 @ In telling it I am suffering hardships even to chains, as if I were an evildoer, but God's message is not chained.

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@2Timothy:3:1 @ I WOULD have you know this, that in the last days trying times will come;

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

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

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

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

riversident@2Timothy:3:11 @ my persecutions, my sufferings \'97 what happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, what persecutions I underwent. But the Lord delivered me out of all of them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@2Timothy:4:9 @ Make haste to come to me quickly.

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

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

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

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

riversident@2Timothy:4:16 @ At my first defense no one came to my help; all deserted me. May it not be laid up against them!

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

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

riversident@2Timothy:4:21 @ Try to come before winter. Eubulus and Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren send their greetings to you.

riversident@Titus:1:11 @ who ought to be silenced, for they are upsetting whole house-holds, teaching what they should not, merely for the sake of base gain.

riversident@Titus:1:14 @ not giving attention to Jewish myths and rules laid down by men who are turning away from the truth.

riversident@Titus:2:1 @ YOU must speak to them of the matters which should have a place in wholesome teaching.

riversident@Titus:2:2 @ Tell the older men to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, in patience.

riversident@Titus:2:3 @ Tell the older women, in the same way, to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is noble,

riversident@Titus:2:4 @ that they may train the young women to be loving wives and loving mothers,

riversident@Titus:2:5 @ self-controlled, pure, home-workers, kind, submissive to their own husbands, that God's message may not be slandered.

riversident@Titus:2:6 @ Urge the younger men, in the same way, to practice self-control in everything.

riversident@Titus:2:8 @ and wholesome talk that is above censure, that our opponents may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say about us.

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

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

riversident@Titus:3:12 @ When I send Artemas to you or Tychicus, try to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to pass the winter there.

riversident@Titus:3:14 @ Our people too must learn to give attention to honorable work, so as to be able to meet pressing needs, that they may not be fruitless.

riversident@Titus:3:15 @ All who are with me send you their greetings. Give our greetings to those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.

riversident@Philemon:1:2 @ and to Apphia, our sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the Church that meets at your house:

riversident@Philemon:1:4 @ I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers,

riversident@Philemon:1:6 @ I pray that your fellowship in the faith may become effective in the knowledge of all the good there is in us in our relation to Christ.

riversident@Philemon:1:7 @ For I have had great joy and encouragement in your love, because the hearts of the holy have been refreshed by you, brother.

riversident@Philemon:1:10 @ I beg you in behalf of my child Onesimus, born to me in my chains,

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

riversident@Philemon:1:13 @ I should like to have him for my own, to serve me in my chains for the good news, as your representative,

riversident@Philemon:1:15 @ Perhaps it was for this that he was separated from you for a time, that you might have him back for ever,

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

riversident@Philemon:1:17 @ If then you hold me for a partner, receive him as you would me.

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

riversident@Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, let me have this help from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

riversident@Philemon:1:22 @ At the same time I want you to prepare a lodging for me, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given back to you.

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

riversident@Hebrews:1:4 @ having become as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited surpasses theirs.

riversident@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to which of the angels did he ever say, "Thou art my son; I have to-day become thy Father"? and again, "I will be to him a Father and he shall be to me a Son"?

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

riversident@Hebrews:1:7 @ Referring to the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, his servants a flame of fire."

riversident@Hebrews:1:11 @ They will perish, but thou wilt endure. They all will grow old like a garment

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

riversident@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message spoken through angels was sure and every violation and disobedience received merited punishment,

riversident@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the beginning was spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

riversident@Hebrews:2:6 @ But somewhere one says, "What is man that thou rememberest him? Or the son of man that thou carest for him?

riversident@Hebrews:2:11 @ For he who makes holy and they who are made holy are all of one. For this cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

riversident@Hebrews:2:12 @ saying, "I will tell thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to thee,"

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

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

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

riversident@Hebrews:2:16 @ For he does not come to the help of angels, but he comes to the help of the descendants of Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house is built by some one, but he who built all things is God.

riversident@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as when they made me angry on the day when they tried me in the desert,

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

riversident@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we become sharers with Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance with which we began.

riversident@Hebrews:3:15 @ When it is said, "To-day if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as when they made me angry" \'97

riversident@Hebrews:3:16 @ who when they heard made him angry? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses?

riversident@Hebrews:4:1 @ LET us, then, be afraid that, though the promise of entering his rest is still left, some one of you may seem to have missed it.

riversident@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we have received the good news just as they did, but the message that was heard did not benefit them, since it did not meet with faith in the hearers.

riversident@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day thus, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,"

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

riversident@Hebrews:4:16 @ Therefore let us come with confidence to the throne of grace and receive compassion and find grace for timely help.

riversident@Hebrews:5:1 @ FOR every high priest taken from among men is appointed in behalf of men in things relating to God to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

riversident@Hebrews:5:5 @ So too Christ did not take for himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but he who said to him, "Thou art my Son, to-day I have become thy Father,"

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

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

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

riversident@Hebrews:5:11 @ Regarding Melchizedek we have much to say that is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

riversident@Hebrews:5:12 @ For when, considering the time, you ought to be teachers you need to have some one teach you again the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk and not solid food.

riversident@Hebrews:6:1 @ THEREFORE let us leave elementary teaching about Christ and hasten on to what is advanced, not laying again a foundation \'97 change of heart from dead works, faith in God,

riversident@Hebrews:6:2 @ the teaching about baptisms, the laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

riversident@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible for those who have been once for all enlightened and have tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers in the Holy Spirit

riversident@Hebrews:6:6 @ and then have fallen away, to have again a change of heart, since they are crucifying for themselves afresh the Son of God and putting him to open shame.

riversident@Hebrews:6:7 @ For ground that drinks the rain that comes often upon it and bears plants useful to those for whom it is farmed shares in God's blessing;

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

riversident@Hebrews:6:11 @ But we desire to have each one of you show to the end the same earnestness for the fulfillment of our hope,

riversident@Hebrews:6:16 @ For men swear by the greater and an oath for confirmation is to them the end of all dispute.

riversident@Hebrews:6:18 @ that by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to be false, we might have strong encouragement, we who have fled to lay hold on the hope that lies before us.

riversident@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus, our forerunner, has entered in our behalf, becoming forever a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

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

riversident@Hebrews:7:2 @ and to whom Abraham gave a tenth of all (note:)first, by the translation of his name, "King of Righteousness," and then king of Salem, which means "King of Peace"(:note),

riversident@Hebrews:7:8 @ And here mortal men receive tenths, but there one of whom the witness is that he is living.

riversident@Hebrews:7:10 @ For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:7:12 @ For when the priesthood has been changed there comes of necessity also a change of law.

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

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

riversident@Hebrews:7:17 @ For it is affirmed of him, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

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

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

riversident@Hebrews:7:22 @ by so much better is the covenant of which Jesus has become surety.

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

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

riversident@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law makes high priests of men who have infirmities, but the word of the oath, which comes after the Law, makes High Priest of a Son who is perfected forever.

riversident@Hebrews:8:3 @ Now every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. Whence it is necessary for this one to have something to offer.

riversident@Hebrews:8:6 @ But now Christ has obtained a ministry as much more excellent as the covenant of which he is mediator is better and based upon better promises.

riversident@Hebrews:8:11 @ They shall not teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother saying, 'Know the Lord'; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them,

riversident@Hebrews:8:12 @ and I will be merciful to their wrong-doings and their sins I will remember no more."

riversident@Hebrews:9:9 @ That is a symbol, for the time being, in accordance with which gifts and sacrifices are offered, though they cannot make the worshiper perfect in his conscience,

riversident@Hebrews:9:10 @ since they consist only of foods and drinks and various baths \'97 rules respecting the flesh, imposed until the time of reformation.

riversident@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ came as High Priest of the good things that have come, he entered once for all through the greater and more perfect Tent not made by hands \'97 that is, not of this creation \'97

riversident@Hebrews:9:15 @ For this reason he is the mediator of a better covenant that, a death having taken place for redemption from sins under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance promised to them.

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

riversident@Hebrews:9:27 @ And as it is appointed for men once for all to die and after this comes judgment,

riversident@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ was once for all offered to bear the sins of many and will appear the second time, apart from sin, to those who are looking for him, and bring them salvation.

riversident@Hebrews:10:1 @ FOR the Law with a shadow of the good things that are coming, but not the very likeness of the things, cannot, by the same sacrifices which they offer constantly every year, ever make perfect those who come,

riversident@Hebrews:10:5 @ Therefore on coming into the world he says, "Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire: a body thou hast prepared for me.

riversident@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, 'Here I have come \'97 in the roll of the book it is written of me \'97 to do thy will, O God.' "

riversident@Hebrews:10:9 @ and then he says, "Here I have come to do thy will." He takes away the first to establish the second.

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

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

riversident@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us come with true hearts in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies bathed in pure water.

riversident@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting to assemble yourselves, as some do, but encouraging one another, and so much the more, as you see the day drawing near.

riversident@Hebrews:10:29 @ Of how much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy who has trampled on the Son of God, who has thought the blood of the covenant, by which it was made holy, an unholy thing, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

riversident@Hebrews:10:32 @ Remember the early days in which, after being enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings,

riversident@Hebrews:10:33 @ at one time made a public spectacle by reproaches and distresses, at another time making common cause with those who were thus treated.

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

riversident@Hebrews:11:2 @ By this the men of old won their fame.

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

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

riversident@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, after receiving a divine warning regarding things as yet unseen, reverently built an ark for the saving of his household. Thus he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness of faith.

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

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

riversident@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah received power to conceive a child even when past the natural time of life, since she thought him trustworthy who had given the promise.

riversident@Hebrews:11:12 @ And so from just one man, already dead in that respect, there sprang descendants "as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand on the seashore innumerable."

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

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

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

riversident@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when at his end, mentioned the departure of the children of Israel and gave orders regarding his own bones.

riversident@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith Rahab, the prostitute, did not perish with those who had refused to believe; because she had welcomed the spies with peace.

riversident@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what shall I say further? Time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David and Samuel and the prophets;

riversident@Hebrews:11:34 @ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness grew strong, became mighty in war, turned back armies of foreigners.

riversident@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received back their dead by a resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to pay for liberation, in order to gain a better resurrection.

riversident@Hebrews:11:39 @ All these won God's approval by their faith. Yet they did not obtain the fulfillment of the promise.

riversident@Hebrews:11:40 @ In reference to us God had something better in view, that they without us should not reach perfection.

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

riversident@Hebrews:12:5 @ and you have forgotten the encouragement which reasons with you as with sons, "My son, do not think slightingly of the discipline of the Lord and be not faint-hearted when reproved by him:

riversident@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may share his holiness.

riversident@Hebrews:12:11 @ All discipline for the time being seems not joyous but grievous, but afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have passed through its training.

riversident@Hebrews:12:14 @ Follow after peace with all men and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

riversident@Hebrews:12:16 @ that there shall be none unchaste, or profane like Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright.

riversident@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to something that may be touched, ablaze with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest

riversident@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you have come to Mount Zion and the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, to tens of thousands of angels,

riversident@Hebrews:12:23 @ to the festal assembly and congregation of first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,

riversident@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant and to the sprinkled blood which tells something better than the blood of Abel.

riversident@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not forget hospitality: for by this some have, without knowing it, had angels as their guests.

riversident@Hebrews:13:6 @ So we may say with courage, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"

riversident@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember your leaders, those who have spoken to you God's message, think how they ended their lives and imitate their faith.

riversident@Hebrews:13:8 @ Jesus Christ is yesterday and to-day the same \'97 yes, and through the ages.

riversident@Hebrews:13:23 @ I wish you to know that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty. With him, if he comes soon, I will see you.

riversident@James:1:1 @ JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the Twelve Tribes which are scattered in foreign lands: Greeting.

riversident@James:1:2 @ Think it all joy, my brethren, when you fall into all sorts of trials,

riversident@James:1:3 @ since you know that the testing of your faith brings out endurance.

riversident@James:1:4 @ Let endurance do its complete work, that you may be complete and perfect, lacking in nothing.

riversident@James:1:5 @ If any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him ask it from God, who gives to all freely without reproaching, and it will be given to him.

riversident@James:1:6 @ But he must ask in faith with never a doubt. For he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

riversident@James:1:7 @ For that man must not think that he will obtain anything from the Lord \'97

riversident@James:1:8 @ a two-minded man unsteady in all his ways.

riversident@James:1:9 @ Let the lowly brother glory in his high station,

riversident@James:1:10 @ and let the rich brother glory in his lowly station, for he will pass away like a flower of the grass.

riversident@James:1:11 @ For the sun rises with scorching heat and dries up the grass, and the flower of it falls and the beauty of its face perishes. So shall the rich man wither in his pursuits.

riversident@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when he has been tested he will gain the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.

riversident@James:1:13 @ No one must say when tempted, "My temptation comes from God." For God cannot be tempted by evil, and he tempts no one.

riversident@James:1:14 @ Every one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own passions and enticed.

riversident@James:1:15 @ Then when passion has conceived it gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is full grown, gives birth to death.

riversident@James:1:16 @ Make no mistake, my beloved brethren,

riversident@James:1:17 @ every good gift and every perfect boon is from above; it descends from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or shadow caused by turning.

riversident@James:1:18 @ Of his own will he made us his children through the message of truth, so that we might be a sort of first fruits of his creatures.

riversident@James:1:19 @ I wish you to know this, my beloved brethren: Every man must be quick to hear, but slow to speak, slow to anger.

riversident@James:1:20 @ For a man's anger does not work out God's righteousness.

riversident@James:1:21 @ So lay aside all that is vile and all that remains of malice, and receive with gentleness the implanted message which can save your souls.

riversident@James:1:22 @ Become doers of the message and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

riversident@James:1:23 @ For if one is a hearer of the message and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror.

riversident@James:1:24 @ He looks at himself and is gone, and immediately forgets what sort of man he was.

riversident@James:1:25 @ But he who looks earnestly into the perfect law of liberty and continues to do so, and becomes not a forgetful hearer but a doer of work \'97 that man will be blessed in what he does.

riversident@James:1:26 @ If any one thinks himself religious while he does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, that man's religion is worthless.

riversident@James:1:27 @ Pure and stainless religion in the sight of God the Father is to visit orphans and widows in their trouble and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.

riversident@James:2:1 @ MY brethren, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality for persons.

riversident@James:2:2 @ For if there comes into your assembly a man with gold rings and in fine clothes, and there comes in a poor man in soiled clothes,

riversident@James:2:3 @ and you look up to the man who is wearing the fine clothes and say, "Take this good seat," and say to the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit under my footstool,"

riversident@James:2:4 @ are you not making distinctions in your own minds and have you not become judges with wicked thoughts?

riversident@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren, did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

riversident@James:2:6 @ But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you before courts?

riversident@James:2:7 @ Do they not speak profanely of the noble name by which you are called?

riversident@James:2:8 @ If you keep the royal law according to the Scripture, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," you do well.

riversident@James:2:9 @ But if you have partiality, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as law-breakers.

riversident@James:2:10 @ For he who keeps the whole law, but stumbles in one point, has become guilty of all.

riversident@James:2:11 @ For he who said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," said also, "Thou shalt not commit murder." If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a law-breaker.

riversident@James:2:12 @ So speak and so act as those who are soon to be judged by a law of liberty.

riversident@James:2:13 @ For judgment is merciless to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

riversident@James:2:14 @ Of what use is it, my brethren, for any one to say that he has faith, if he has not works? Can faith save him?

riversident@James:2:15 @ If a brother or sister is naked and lacks food for the day

riversident@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and fed," but you do not give them what the body needs, what is the good of it?

riversident@James:2:17 @ Just so faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

riversident@James:2:18 @ But some one will say, "You have faith and I have works. Show me your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by my works."

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

riversident@James:2:20 @ Are you willing to learn, O vacant-minded man, that faith without works is useless?

riversident@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham, our father, pronounced righteous because of works when he laid Isaac his son on the altar?

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

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

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

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

riversident@James:2:26 @ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.

riversident@James:3:1 @ DO not, many of you, become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we will receive severer judgment.

riversident@James:3:2 @ For in many ways we all stumble. If any one never stumbles in his talk, he is a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body.

riversident@James:3:3 @ If we put bits into the horses' mouths to make them obey us, we turn about their whole bodies.

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

riversident@James:3:5 @ Just so the tongue is a small member, but boasts of great things. Think how small a fire may be and yet how vast the forest that it may set ablaze.

riversident@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of wickedness. The tongue stands among our members as that which spots the whole body and sets on fire the wheel of nature and is itself set on fire by Gehenna.

riversident@James:3:7 @ For every kind of wild beasts and birds and reptiles and animals from the sea is tamed and has been tamed by human kind,

riversident@James:3:8 @ but the tongue no man is able to tame. It is a restless evil; it is full of deadly poison.

riversident@James:3:9 @ With it we bless the Lord our Father and with it we curse the men who are made in the image of God.

riversident@James:3:10 @ From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. This, my brethren, should not be so.

riversident@James:3:11 @ Does a spring pour out from the same opening sweet water and bitter?

riversident@James:3:12 @ Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a vine figs? No more can salt water yield fresh water.

riversident@James:3:13 @ Who is wise and intelligent among you? Let him show out of the noble life that he lives his works in wise gentleness.

riversident@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and party-spirit in your hearts, do not boast and falsely contradict the truth.

riversident@James:3:15 @ This wisdom does not come down from on high, but is earthly, animal, demoniacal.

riversident@James:3:16 @ For where jealousy and party-spirit are, there is confusion and every base affair.

riversident@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom from on high is first pure, then peaceable, fair-minded, easily persuaded, full of compassion and good fruits, impartial, sincere.

riversident@James:3:18 @ The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

riversident@James:4:1 @ WHENCE come wars and whence come strifes among you? Is it not from your pleasures which carry on war in your members?

riversident@James:4:2 @ You long for something and do not have it. You murder and envy and cannot obtain it. You battle and war. You do not have, because of your not asking.

riversident@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask wickedly to waste it on your pleasures.

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

riversident@James:4:5 @ Do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which he made dwell in us long enviously?

riversident@James:4:6 @ But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

riversident@James:4:7 @ Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you.

riversident@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Make your hands clean, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

riversident@James:4:9 @ Be sorrowful and mourn and lament. Let your laughter be turned into grief and your gladness into gloom.

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

riversident@James:4:11 @ Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against his brother speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

riversident@James:4:12 @ One is the Lawgiver and Judge \'97 he who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you, to judge your neighbor?

riversident@James:4:13 @ Come, now, you who say, "To-day or to-morrow we will go to such a city and spend a year and do business and make money,"

riversident@James:4:14 @ though you do not know what your life will be like on the morrow. For you are a vapor that appears for a little while and then disappears.

riversident@James:4:15 @ You should rather say, "If the Lord wills it, we shall live and do this or that."

riversident@James:4:16 @ But now you glory in bragging. All such glorying is evil.

riversident@James:4:17 @ If any one, then, knows how to do good and is not doing it, he is committing sin.

riversident@James:5:1 @ COME, now, you rich men, wail and lament over the miseries that are coming upon you.

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

riversident@James:5:3 @ your gold and silver are rusted over and the rust on them will be an evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire.

riversident@James:5:4 @ You have laid up treasures in the last days. See, the wages of the laborers who reaped your fields, fraudulently kept back by you, call aloud, and the cries of the harvesters have come into the ears of the Lord of armies.

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

riversident@James:5:6 @ You have condemned, you have murdered, the righteous; he does not resist you.

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

riversident@James:5:8 @ You too must be patient. Keep your hearts steadfast, for the coming of the Lord is near.

riversident@James:5:9 @ Do not fret at one another, brethren, and then you will not be judged. The Judge is standing before your doors.

riversident@James:5:10 @ Take, brethren, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of patience in suffering evil.

riversident@James:5:11 @ We call them blessed because they endured. You have heard of the patience of Job and have seen the end of the Lord's dealings with him, that the Lord is very tender and compassionate.

riversident@James:5:12 @ Above all things, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by the earth or by any other oath. Let your yes be yes and your no be no, that you may not fall under condemnation.

riversident@James:5:13 @ Is any one of you suffering hardship? Let him pray. Is any one cheerful? Let him sing with the harp.

riversident@James:5:14 @ Is any one of you sick? Let him call in the elders of the church and let them pray over him and anoint him with olive oil in the name of the Lord.

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

riversident@James:5:16 @ Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another in order to be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man has great power.

riversident@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man of the same weaknesses as ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

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

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

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

riversident@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead \'97

riversident@1Peter:3:3 @ Your adornment must not be of the external kind \'97 braiding the hair and putting on gold and wearing fine dresses;

riversident@1Peter:3:5 @ For so of old the holy women who hoped in God adorned themselves. They were submissive to their own husbands,

riversident@1Peter:3:6 @ as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him Master. You have become her children when you do well and feel no terror.

riversident@1Peter:3:7 @ In the same way, you husbands must live with your wives wisely, since woman's sex is weaker, but you must give them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

riversident@1Peter:3:13 @ And who is it that will harm you if you become earnest for the good?

riversident@1Peter:3:16 @ Keep a good conscience that, although you are slandered, those who misrepresent your good life in Christ may be put to shame.

riversident@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ once for all died for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might lead us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,

riversident@1Peter:4:1 @ SINCE, then, Christ suffered in the flesh, you also must arm yourselves with the same mind. For he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

riversident@1Peter:4:2 @ so that he does not go on living what remains of his time in the flesh according to human passions, but according to God's will.

riversident@1Peter:4:3 @ The time that has passed was enough to spend doing the will of the Gentiles, when you went on in indecencies, passions, hard drinking, revelries, carousings, and lawless idolatries.

riversident@1Peter:4:4 @ In these they think it strange that you are not running with them to the same excess of profligacy, and they slander you.

riversident@1Peter:4:6 @ And for this purpose the good news was told even to the dead, that they might be judged like men in the flesh, but live as God does in the spirit.

riversident@1Peter:4:11 @ If any one speaks, let it be as uttering the oracles of God. If any one serves, let it be from the strength that God supplies. Thus in all things let God be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him be glory and strength for the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery fury that is among you, which has come to try you, as if some strange thing were happening to you.

riversident@1Peter:4:14 @ If you are reproached for the name of Christ you are blessed, for the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.

riversident@1Peter:4:15 @ No one of you must suffer as a murderer or as a thief or as a wrongdoer or as a meddler in other men's affairs.

riversident@1Peter:4:16 @ But if he suffers as a Christian he should not be ashamed, but should glorify God by that name.

riversident@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God. And if it begins first with us, what will be the end of those who disobey the good news of God?

riversident@1Peter:5:5 @ In the same way you younger men must be subject to your elders. You all must put on the apron of humble service for one another. For God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

riversident@1Peter:5:6 @ Humble yourselves, then, under the mighty hand of God so that he may lift you up at the right time.

riversident@1Peter:5:8 @ Be sober, watch. Your enemy the Devil, like a roaring lion, goes about seeking some one to devour.

riversident@1Peter:5:9 @ Resist him firm in the faith and knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being completed in your brotherhood throughout the world.

riversident@1Peter:5:11 @ To him be power for the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@2Peter:1:4 @ and thereby great and precious promises have been granted to us, that through them you may escape the corruption that is in the world through passion and become sharers in the divine nature,

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

riversident@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the laying aside of my tent will come soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made plain to me.

riversident@2Peter:1:15 @ I will endeavor also on every occasion to make it so that after my going you shall have these things in memory.

riversident@2Peter:1:19 @ Thus have we the words of the prophets confirmed, and you will do well to give attention to them as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

riversident@2Peter:1:20 @ since you know this first, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from any one's private interpretation,

riversident@2Peter:1:21 @ for prophecy never came by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

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

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

riversident@2Peter:2:6 @ and if reducing to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah he condemned them to destruction, making them an example for the godless of what would come upon them,

riversident@2Peter:2:9 @ the Lord knows how to rescue the pious from trial and how to keep the wicked under punishment for the day of judgment,

riversident@2Peter:2:12 @ But they, like irrational creatures, born mere animals for capture and destruction, while speaking profanely of things they are ignorant of, will be corrupted by their own corruption,

riversident@2Peter:2:13 @ and will suffer unrighteously as the reward of their own unrighteousness. They think it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are spots and blots as they revel in their deceptions while they feast sumptuously with you.

riversident@2Peter:2:14 @ They have eyes engrossed with some adulteress, eyes which never cease from sin. They seduce unsteady souls. They have hearts practiced in covetousness. They are children of a curse.

riversident@2Peter:2:17 @ These men are springs without water, storm-driven mists for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved.

riversident@2Peter:2:19 @ While they promise them liberty they themselves are the slaves of corruption; for by whatever any one is overcome to that he is enslaved.

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

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

riversident@2Peter:3:1 @ THIS second letter, beloved, I am writing you. In both I have tried, by awakening your memory,

riversident@2Peter:3:3 @ First you should know this, that in the last days scoffers will come with their scoffing, living according to their own passions

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

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

riversident@2Peter:3:7 @ But the present heavens and the earth are by the same word treasured up and kept for fire on the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

riversident@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about what he has promised, as some think of slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, wishing not to have any perish but to have all come to a change of heart.

riversident@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise and the burning elements will be dissolved and the earth and the things in it will not be found.

riversident@2Peter:3:12 @ you who are looking for and hastening toward the coming of the day of God, when the blazing heavens will be dissolved and the burning elements melted?

riversident@2Peter:3:16 @ So he writes in all his letters when speaking in them of these things. In those letters are some things hard to understand, and these the unlearned and unsteady twist, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own ruin.

riversident@1John:1:5 @ This is the message which we have heard from him and tell to you, God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

riversident@1John:1:10 @ If we say, "We have not sinned," we make him a liar and his message is not in us.

riversident@1John:2:3 @ By this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commands.

riversident@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I am not writing a new command for you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. The old command is the message that you have heard.

riversident@1John:2:12 @ I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven for his name's sake.

riversident@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have come to know the Father.

riversident@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and the message of God remains in you and you have conquered the Evil One.

riversident@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, remain in him so that if he appears we may have confidence and not shrink in shame from him at his coming.

riversident@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we must love one another.

riversident@1John:3:16 @ By this we have come to know love \'97 that Christ laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

riversident@1John:3:23 @ And this is his command \'97 to believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another as he has given us command.

riversident@1John:4:1 @ BELOVED, do not trust every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are from God. For many false prophets have come out into the world.

riversident@1John:4:2 @ By this we know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

riversident@1John:4:16 @ We have come to know and have put our trust in the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God and God remains in him.

riversident@1John:4:17 @ Thus love has been made perfect with us so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment, because as God is we also are in this world.

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

riversident@1John:5:6 @ This is he who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ. Not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

riversident@1John:5:9 @ If we accept the testimony of men the testimony of God is greater; for this is God's testimony, that he has testified regarding his Son.

riversident@1John:5:13 @ I am writing this to you so that you may know that you have life eternal, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

riversident@1John:5:20 @ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true and in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life eternal.

riversident@2John:1:1 @ THE Elder to the chosen Lady and her children, whom I love in truth (note:)and not I alone, but also all who have come to know the truth(:note)

riversident@2John:1:3 @ Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

riversident@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children living in truth, as we received command from the Father.

riversident@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have come out into the world and they do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

riversident@2John:1:10 @ If any one comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house and do not bid him welcome.

riversident@2John:1:11 @ He who bids him welcome becomes a sharer in his wicked works.

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

riversident@3John:1:7 @ For it was for the Name that they came out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

riversident@3John:1:8 @ We ought to help such men so as to be fellow workers with the truth.

riversident@3John:1:9 @ I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who desires to be first among them, does not receive us.

riversident@3John:1:10 @ Therefore, if I come I will bring to mind the works that he is doing, accusing us with wicked words, and not satisfied with that, neither does he receive the brethren, and he hinders those who wish to do so and expels them from the church.

riversident@3John:1:12 @ Testimony has been borne to Demetrius by all and by the truth itself. We too bear testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Jude:1:9 @ But Michael, the arch-angel, when in dispute with the Devil he was arguing about the body of Moses, did not venture to bring against him an abusive judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."

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

riversident@Jude:1:14 @ Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these men when he said, "See, the Lord has come with ten thousand of his holy ones

riversident@Jude:1:15 @ to do judgment upon all and to convict all the irreverent of all their deeds of irreverence which they have irreverently done, and of all the hard things which they have spoken against him, irreverent sinners that they are."

riversident@Jude:1:16 @ These men are complaining grumblers, living according to their own passions, and their mouths speak great swelling words. They show admiration for persons for the sake of their own gain.

riversident@Jude:1:17 @ But you, beloved, remember the words which were long ago spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@Jude:1:18 @ how they told you that in the latter time there would be scoffers living according to their own ungodly passions.

riversident@Jude:1:21 @ must keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you into life eternal.

riversident@Jude:1:22 @ On some have pity when they are in doubt;

riversident@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God our Savior, be, through Jesus Christ our Lord, glory, majesty, might, and authority, before all time and now and for all the ages! Amen.
