nsb@Romans:1:1 @ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, appointed for the good news of God,

nsb@Romans:1:3 @ This is about his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who came from the seed of David according to the flesh.

nsb@Romans:1:4 @ He was declared to be the Son of God with power through the Spirit of Holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.

nsb@Romans:1:5 @ Through whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, respecting his name.

nsb@Romans:1:6 @ You are among those called to Jesus Christ.

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

nsb@Romans:1:10 @ I pray that I might by the will of God successfully come to you.

nsb@Romans:1:11 @ I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift so that you may be strengthened,

nsb@Romans:1:13 @ I want you to know, brothers, that I was often determined to come to you, but was hindered until now, that I might have some fruit among you as well as the rest of the nations.

nsb@Romans:1:14 @ I am a debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians, both to the wise, and to the unwise.

nsb@Romans:1:15 @ I am ready to preach the good news to you in Rome also.

nsb@Romans:1:16 @ I am not ashamed of the good news; for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who exerts active faith, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

nsb@Romans:1:17 @ It reveals the righteousness of God from faith-to-faith for it is written: »The righteous shall live by faith.«

nsb@Romans:1:19 @ That which is known about God is clear to them, for God revealed it to them.

nsb@Romans:1:22 @ Claiming to be wise, they became fools.

nsb@Romans:1:23 @ They changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

nsb@Romans:1:24 @ God gave them up to uncleanness because of the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves.

nsb@Romans:1:25 @ They changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creation more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

nsb@Romans:1:26 @ For this cause God gave them up to vile affections for even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature.

nsb@Romans:1:27 @ Also the men left the natural use of the woman and burned in their lust, one toward another; men with men working that which is obscene. They receive full recompense due for their error.

nsb@Romans:1:28 @ They did not like to retain God in their knowledge, so God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do things that are not fitting.

nsb@Romans:1:29 @ They are filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil mindedness; they are whisperers,

nsb@Romans:1:30 @ backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

nsb@Romans:2:2 @ We are sure that the judgment of God, according to truth, is against those who commit such things.

nsb@Romans:2:4 @ Do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and long-suffering? Do you not know that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

nsb@Romans:2:5 @ Thanks to your stubborn and unrepentant heart, you store up wrath for yourself, in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.

nsb@Romans:2:6 @ He will render to each according to his works.

nsb@Romans:2:10 @ glory, honor and peace to every one who does good works, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

nsb@Romans:2:14 @ When those of the nations, who have no law, practice by nature the things of the law they are a law to themselves even though they do not have any law.

nsb@Romans:2:16 @ This is in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, by Jesus Christ.

nsb@Romans:2:19 @ And you have confidence that you are a leader of the blind, a light to those in darkness.

nsb@Romans:2:20 @ You are an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law.

nsb@Romans:2:21 @ You then who teach another, do you teach yourself? You who preach not to steal, do you steal?

nsb@Romans:3:13 @ »Their throat is an open grave. They have practiced deceit with their tongues. The poison of snakes is under their lips.« (Psalm strkjv@5:9)

nsb@Romans:3:15 @ »Their feet are swift to shed blood.« (Proverbs strkjv@1:15)

nsb@Romans:3:19 @ We know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those under the law. Every mouth may be stopped and the entire world may become liable to God for punishment.

nsb@Romans:3:22 @ God makes people righteous through their active faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, because there is no difference at all.

nsb@Romans:4:1 @ What shall we say about Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh?

nsb@Romans:4:2 @ If Abraham was declared righteous by works, he could boast, but not to God.

nsb@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the scriptures say? »Abraham believed Jehovah, and it was counted to him as righteousness.« (Genesis strkjv@15:6)

nsb@Romans:4:4 @ The pay is counted to the man who works. It is not as grace but as a debt.

nsb@Romans:4:6 @ David also pronounces blessing on the man, to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

nsb@Romans:4:8 @ »Blessed is the man to whom, Jehovah will not impute sin.« (Psalm strkjv@32:2)

nsb@Romans:4:9 @ Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say: »To Abraham his faith was counted for righteousness.«

nsb@Romans:4:11 @ He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith that he had while he was not circumcised. That way he could be the father of all those who believe, though they are not circumcised, that righteousness might be counted to them.

nsb@Romans:4:12 @ The father of circumcision to those who not only are circumcised, but who also walk in the steps of faith of our father Abraham that he had when he was not circumcised.

nsb@Romans:4:13 @ The promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world was not through the law but through righteousness by faith.

nsb@Romans:4:16 @ For this reason it is by faith that it may be according to grace. The promise may be sure to all descendants! This is not only to that which is of the law, but to that also which is by the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.

nsb@Romans:4:17 @ It is written: »I have made you a father of many nations.« in the presence of God, the one in whom he believed. He gives life to the dead, and calls into being that which does not exist.

nsb@Romans:4:18 @ In hope against hope Abraham believed that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken: »So your descendants will be.«

nsb@Romans:4:20 @ Yet, he looked to the promise of God. He did not waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith. He gave the glory to God!

nsb@Romans:4:21 @ He was fully assured that what he had promised, he was able to perform.

nsb@Romans:4:22 @ »It was counted to him as righteousness.«

nsb@Romans:4:23 @ Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was counted to him.

nsb@Romans:4:24 @ It is also for our sake, to whom it shall be counted, who believe in him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

nsb@Romans:5:2 @ We have access to grace by faith through him. This is where we stand. We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

nsb@Romans:5:5 @ Hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts. It comes through Holy Spirit, which is Gods gift to us.

nsb@Romans:5:7 @ For scarcely for a righteous man will one die. Perhaps for the good man some one would even dare to die.

nsb@Romans:5:8 @ But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

nsb@Romans:5:10 @ While we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son. Being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

nsb@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore, through one-man sin entered into the world, and death through sin. So death passed to all men, for all have sinned.

nsb@Romans:5:15 @ But the two are not the same, because Gods gift is not like Adams sin. It is true that many people died because of the sin of that one man. But Gods grace is much greater, and so is his gift to so many people through the loving-kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ.

nsb@Romans:5:21 @ And what for? Just as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

nsb@Romans:6:2 @ God forbid. We died to sin! How could we any longer live in it?

nsb@Romans:6:3 @ Or are you ignorant to the fact that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

nsb@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death. Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, that we might walk in the newness of life.

nsb@Romans:6:6 @ We know this that our old self was impaled with him that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer be in bondage to sin.

nsb@Romans:6:10 @ For the death that he died, he died with reference to sin once. But the life that he lives, he lives to God.

nsb@Romans:6:11 @ Consider yourselves to be dead with reference to sin, but alive with reference to God through Christ Jesus.

nsb@Romans:6:13 @ Also do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness. Present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness for God.

nsb@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient servants you are his servants because you obey him? This could be obedience to sin with death in view or obedience to righteousness with holiness in view?

nsb@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks to God, that you were the servants of sin yet you became obedient from the heart to the teachings delivered to you.

nsb@Romans:6:19 @ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. You once presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to sin. Now you present your members as servants to righteousness and sanctification.

nsb@Romans:6:20 @ When you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

nsb@Romans:6:22 @ Now you are free from sin and are servants to God. You have your fruit in holiness, and the end everlasting life.

nsb@Romans:7:1 @ Do you not know, for I speak to men who know the law, that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

nsb@Romans:7:2 @ Law binds the married woman to her husband while he lives. But if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

nsb@Romans:7:3 @ So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she will be called an adulteress. If the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.

nsb@Romans:7:4 @ Brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ; that you should be joined to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.

nsb@Romans:7:5 @ When we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death.

nsb@Romans:7:6 @ We have been discharged from the law. We have died to that by which we were held. So we serve in newness of the Spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

nsb@Romans:7:10 @ The commandment, which was to life, this I found to be to death.

nsb@Romans:7:13 @ Did that which is good become death to me? God forbid! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good. This way sin might be shown to be sin. Through the commandment sin could be recognized.

nsb@Romans:7:15 @ I do not understand what I am doing. For what I want to do I do not do. What I hate, I do.

nsb@Romans:7:16 @ But if what I do not want to do, I do, I consent to the law that it is right.

nsb@Romans:7:18 @ I know that good does not live in my human nature. For even though the desire to do good is in me, I am not able to do it.

nsb@Romans:7:19 @ I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do.

nsb@Romans:7:20 @ If I do what I do not want to do, this means that I am no longer the one who does it. Instead, it is the sin that lives in me.

nsb@Romans:7:21 @ I find that this law is at work. When I want to do what is good, what is evil is the only choice I have.

nsb@Romans:7:23 @ However I see a different law at work in my body. This law fights against the law that my mind approves of. It makes me a prisoner to the law of sin that is at work in my body.

nsb@Romans:7:25 @ Thanks to God, through our Lord Jesus Christ! So then I can serve Gods law only with my mind, while my human nature serves the law of sin.

nsb@Romans:8:3 @ God did what the Law could not do, because human nature was weak. He sent his own son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering and do away with sin. So he condemned sin in sinful human nature.

nsb@Romans:8:4 @ God did this so that the righteous requirements of the Law might be fully satisfied in us who live according to the Spirit, and not according to human nature.

nsb@Romans:8:5 @ They who live according to flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh. They who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

nsb@Romans:8:7 @ This is because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God. It is not subject to the law of God for it cannot be.

nsb@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed Gods Spirit dwells in you. If any one does not have the Spirit of Christ he does not belong to him.

nsb@Romans:8:12 @ So then, brothers we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to flesh,

nsb@Romans:8:13 @ for if you live according to flesh, you are about to die. If by the Spirit, you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

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

nsb@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was subject to corruption, not by its own will but by reason of the one who subjected it on the basis of hope.

nsb@Romans:8:21 @ The creation will also be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

nsb@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that the whole creation groans and is in pain together until now.

nsb@Romans:8:25 @ If we hope for what we do not see, do we have patience to wait for it?

nsb@Romans:8:27 @ So he who searches the hearts knows what is the inclination of the Spirit, because the Spirit makes intercession for the holy ones according to the will of God.

nsb@Romans:8:28 @ We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

nsb@Romans:8:29 @ Those he first recognized, he ordained in advance that they be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

nsb@Romans:8:36 @ It is written: »For your sake we are put to death all day long. We are considered as sheep for the slaughter.« (Psalm strkjv@44:22)

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

nsb@Romans:8:39 @ Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Ephesians strkjv@6:12)

nsb@Romans:9:4 @ They are Israelites and the adoption belongs to them. They have the glory of the covenants. The law was given to them along with the service and promises.

nsb@Romans:9:5 @ The forefathers belong to them from whom came the Christ according to the flesh. God who is over all is blessed forever. Amen.

nsb@Romans:9:9 @ The word of promise: »According to this time I will come and Sarah will have a son.«

nsb@Romans:9:12 @ She was told: »The older will serve the younger.«

nsb@Romans:9:15 @ He says to Moses, »I will show mercy to the one I choose to show mercy, and I will feel compassion for the one I choose to feel compassion.«

nsb@Romans:9:17 @ The scripture says to Pharaoh: »For this reason I have raised you up, that I might through you, show my power and declare my name in all the earth.«

nsb@Romans:9:18 @ He shows mercy to the one he chooses, and he allows others to be stubborn.

nsb@Romans:9:19 @ You say to me: »Why does he yet find fault? Who resists his purpose?«

nsb@Romans:9:20 @ Yes, but you, O man, who are you to answer back to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: »Why have you made me this way?« (Isaiah strkjv@45:9)

nsb@Romans:9:21 @ Or does the potter not have authority over the clay? Can he make out of the same lump one vessel to honor, and another for common use? (Jeremiah strkjv@18:6)

nsb@Romans:9:22 @ If God decided to show his wrath and make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fit for destruction.

nsb@Romans:9:26 @ In the place where it was said to them: »You are not my people, they will be called Sons of the living God.« (Hosea strkjv@2:23)

nsb@Romans:9:28 @ »He is bringing the matter to an end, and cutting it short in righteousness. Jehovah will make an accounting on the earth.« (Isaiah strkjv@10:22)

nsb@Romans:9:29 @ Just as Isaiah said earlier: »Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left a seed to us, we should have become like Sodom, and Gomorrah.« (Isaiah strkjv@1:9)

nsb@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say? The nations did not pursue righteousness. Yet they have attained to righteousness, the righteousness that is based on the principle of faith.

nsb@Romans:9:31 @ But Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to that law.

nsb@Romans:9:32 @ Why? It is because it was not based on the principle of faith, but on that of works. They have stumbled at the stumbling stone.

nsb@Romans:9:33 @ It is written: »Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence and he that believes on him will not be ashamed.« (Isaiah strkjv@8:14)

nsb@Romans:10:1 @ Brothers, my hearts desire and my prayer to God for Israel is for their salvation.

nsb@Romans:10:2 @ I testify that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

nsb@Romans:10:3 @ They are ignorant of Gods righteousness. They seek to establish their own righteousness and have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

nsb@Romans:10:4 @ Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who exerts active faith.

nsb@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith speaks this way: »Do not say in your heart: who will ascend to heaven? That is, to bring Christ down;

nsb@Romans:10:7 @ or »who will descend into the abyss? That is, to bring up Christ from among the dead.«

nsb@Romans:10:14 @ How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone to preach?

nsb@Romans:10:15 @ How will they preach unless they have been sent? Just as it is written: »How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace and who bring good tidings of good things! For they proclaim salvation and say to Zion: »Your God reigns as king!« (Isaiah strkjv@52:7)

nsb@Romans:10:18 @ I say: Have they not heard? Yes in fact their sound went »into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the inhabited earth.« (Psalm strkjv@19:4)

nsb@Romans:10:19 @ I say Israel did not know. First Moses said: »I will provoke you people to rivalry through that which is not a nation, and I will anger you with a foolish nation.« (Deuteronomy strkjv@32:21)

nsb@Romans:10:20 @ Isaiah is very bold, and says: »Those who did not seek me found me. I was made manifest to those who did not ask for me.«

nsb@Romans:10:21 @ But to Israel he says: »All day long I have stretched out my hands to a people who are disobedient and self-willed.« (Isaiah strkjv@65:1, 2)

nsb@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he first knew. Do you remember what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he made intercession to God against Israel?

nsb@Romans:11:3 @ »Jehovah, they have killed your prophets, and torn down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.« (1 Kings strkjv@19:14, 18)

nsb@Romans:11:4 @ What does God say in answer to him? »I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.«

nsb@Romans:11:5 @ Even so at this present time there is a remnant chosen according to Gods grace.

nsb@Romans:11:8 @ It is written, »God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear to this very day.« (Deuteronomy strkjv@29:4)

nsb@Romans:11:9 @ David says, »Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and recompense to them.

nsb@Romans:11:11 @ I ask: Did they stumble and fall? Certainly not! But rather through their fall into sin salvation has come to the nations. This will provoke them to jealousy.

nsb@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their fall into sin means riches to the world, and their decrease means riches of the nations how much more will their full number mean?

nsb@Romans:11:13 @ I speak to you people of the nations. For I am the apostle to the nations and I glorify my ministry.

nsb@Romans:11:22 @ Observe both Gods kindness and severity. Severity is for those who fail to continue. But kindness is for you as long as you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you will be cut off.

nsb@Romans:11:23 @ If they do not continue in unbelief they will be grafted in. For God is able to graft them in again.

nsb@Romans:11:24 @ If you were cut out of the olive tree that is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a garden olive tree: how much more could these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

nsb@Romans:11:25 @ I do not want you to be ignorant of this secret, lest you should be wise in your own conceits. Blindness has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the nations comes in.

nsb@Romans:11:28 @ Concerning the good news, they are enemies for your sakes. With reference to the chosen ones, they are beloved for the fathers sake.

nsb@Romans:11:32 @ For God has stopped all disobedience so he might show mercy to all.

nsb@Romans:11:35 @ Or who has first given to him, that it shall be repaid to him again? (Job strkjv@41:11)

nsb@Romans:11:36 @ For from him, and through him, and to him are all things: Glory to him forever! Amen.

nsb@Romans:12:1 @ I request you brothers, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

nsb@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be conformed to this world. But be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Prove what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.

nsb@Romans:12:3 @ I say through the grace given to me that every man among you should not think more highly of himself than he ought to think. But to think soberly, just as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.

nsb@Romans:12:6 @ We have gifts that differ according to the grace that is given to us. Whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

nsb@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor evil and cling to good.

nsb@Romans:12:10 @ Be devoted to one another with brotherly love, in honor preferring one another.

nsb@Romans:12:13 @ Contribute to the needs of the holy ones and practice hospitality.

nsb@Romans:12:17 @ Return evil for evil to no man. Provide honest things in the sight of all men.

nsb@Romans:13:1 @ Let every person be subject to superior authorities. For there is no authority except by God. God allows the authorities to serve in their positions.

nsb@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are objects of fear, not to good works, but to the evil. Will you not have respect for the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from it.

nsb@Romans:13:4 @ He is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid for he does not bear the sword in vain. He is the minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil.

nsb@Romans:13:7 @ Render therefore to all their due. Provide tribute to whom tribute is due. Give custom to whom custom is owed. Render fear to whom fear is owed and offer honor to whom honor is deserved.

nsb@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no man any thing but to love one another. He that loves another has fulfilled the law.

nsb@Romans:13:10 @ Love works no ill to his neighbor. Therefore love is the laws fulfillment.

nsb@Romans:13:11 @ You know the time. It is the hour for you to awake from sleep. Now our salvation is nearer than when we became believers.

nsb@Romans:14:1 @ Accept the man who has a weak faith, but not to entertain doubtful thinking.

nsb@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to judge another mans servant? He stands or falls before his own master. Yes, he will be made to stand for God can make him stand.

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

nsb@Romans:14:7 @ For none of us lives to himself, and no man dies to himself.

nsb@Romans:14:8 @ For if we live, we live to God and if we die, we die to God. Therefore should we live or die, we are Gods.

nsb@Romans:14:9 @ To this end Christ both died, and rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.

nsb@Romans:14:11 @ It is written: As I live, says Jehovah, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will acknowledge Jehovah. (Isaiah strkjv@45:23)

nsb@Romans:14:12 @ So then every one of us will give account of himself to God.

nsb@Romans:14:13 @ Let us not judge one another any more. Let no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brothers way.

nsb@Romans:14:14 @ I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean in itself. If someone thinks something is unclean it is unclean to him.

nsb@Romans:14:15 @ If because of your food your brother is grieved, you do not walk in love. Do not allow what you eat to destroy the one for whom Christ died.

nsb@Romans:14:18 @ For he that serves Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of by men.

nsb@Romans:14:19 @ Let us follow after the things that make for peace, and things that are encouraging to one another.

nsb@Romans:14:21 @ It is good neither to eat food, nor to drink wine, nor any thing that causes your brother to stumble or be offended and weakened.

nsb@Romans:15:1 @ We who are strong in the faith ought to help the weak to carry their burdens. We should not just please ourselves.

nsb@Romans:15:2 @ Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to build him up.

nsb@Romans:15:5 @ Now may the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus.

nsb@Romans:15:6 @ To this end you may glorify God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one mind and one accord.

nsb@Romans:15:7 @ Receive one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

nsb@Romans:15:8 @ Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcised for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers.

nsb@Romans:15:9 @ That the nations might glorify God for his mercy as it is written: »For this cause I will confess you to the people of the nations, and sing to your name.«

nsb@Romans:15:12 @ And again, Isaiah says: »Then in that day the nations will search for and turn to the root of Jesse. He will stand as a signal for the peoples. His resting place will be glorious.« (Isaiah strkjv@11:10)

nsb@Romans:15:14 @ I am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

nsb@Romans:15:15 @ Nevertheless, brothers, I have written more boldly to you on some points, keeping you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me from God,

nsb@Romans:15:16 @ That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the nations, ministering the good news of God, that the offering of these nations might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

nsb@Romans:15:17 @ I glory in Jesus Christ in my service to God.

nsb@Romans:15:18 @ I will not dare to speak of any of those things that Christ has not accomplished through me. I will lead the nations to obey God in word and deed.

nsb@Romans:15:20 @ I have strived to preach the good news, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another mans foundation:

nsb@Romans:15:21 @ It is written, »To whom he was not announced, they shall see: and those who have not heard shall understand.« (Isaiah strkjv@52:15)

nsb@Romans:15:22 @ For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.

nsb@Romans:15:23 @ I have no more places to go in these parts, and have a great desire these many years to come to you.

nsb@Romans:15:24 @ When I take my journey to Spain, I will come to you. I trust to see you in my journey, and to be escorted on my way by you, after I have been satisfied with your company.

nsb@Romans:15:25 @ Now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the holy ones.

nsb@Romans:15:26 @ It pleased those of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor holy ones in Jerusalem.

nsb@Romans:15:27 @ It pleased them to do so and they are debtors for this. If the nations have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in physical things.

nsb@Romans:15:28 @ After I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come to you in Spain.

nsb@Romans:15:29 @ I am sure that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the good news of Christ.

nsb@Romans:15:30 @ Now I beg you, brothers, for the Lord Jesus Christs sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me.

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

nsb@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a minister of the congregation at Cenchrea.

nsb@Romans:16:2 @ Receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the holy ones. Assist her in whatever business she has need of from you. She has been a great help to many people including me.

nsb@Romans:16:5 @ Likewise greet the congregation that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is of the first fruits of Asia to Christ.

nsb@Romans:16:6 @ Greet Mary for she labored much to help us.

nsb@Romans:16:10 @ Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them that are of Aristobulus household.

nsb@Romans:16:17 @ Now I beseech you, brothers, mark those who cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine you have learned and avoid them.

nsb@Romans:16:19 @ Your obedience has come to our attention abroad. I am glad therefore on your behalf. Yet I would have you wise to that which is good and simple concerning evil.

nsb@Romans:16:25 @ Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, which was kept secret since the world began.

nsb@Romans:16:26 @ It is now made known by the Scriptures of the prophets according to the commandment of the everlasting God. It is made known to all nations for the obedience of faith.

nsb@Romans:16:27 @ To God, wise alone, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:1 @ This letter is from Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:2 @ To the congregation of God at Corinth. To you, who are sanctified in Christ Jesus. You who are called to be holy ones, with all whom in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. He is both their Lord and ours.

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

nsb@1Corinthians:1:8 @ He will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:10 @ I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there are no divisions among you. You should be perfectly joined together in the same mind and thought.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:11 @ The house of Chloe told me, my brothers, that there are disputes among you.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:17 @ Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the good news: not with wisdom of words, lest the stake of Christ be emptied of its effect.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the preaching of the stake is foolishness to those who perish. It is the power of God to us who are saved.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:19 @ It is written: »I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.« (Isaiah strkjv@29:14)

nsb@1Corinthians:1:21 @ This is the wisdom of God that the world through its wisdom did not come to know God. God was well pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:23 @ We preach Christ impaled. It is a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the nations!

nsb@1Corinthians:1:24 @ To those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, it is Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:27 @ Instead God chose the foolish things of the world to confuse the wise. God chose the weak things of the world to confuse the things that are mighty.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:28 @ God also chose the base things of the world, and things which are despised, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:30 @ It is because of him you are united with Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.

nsb@1Corinthians:2:1 @ Brothers, I did not come to you with superiority of speech or with human wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

nsb@1Corinthians:2:2 @ I decided not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ and his death on the torture stake.

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

nsb@1Corinthians:2:6 @ How is it we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, or of the rulers of this age, who come to nothing?

nsb@1Corinthians:2:9 @ It is written: »Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, and it has not entered into the heart of man, the things God prepared for those who love him.« (Isaiah strkjv@64:4)

nsb@1Corinthians:2:10 @ But God revealed them to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit investigates all things, yes even the deep things of God.

nsb@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God. This is so we might know the things that are freely given to us from God.

nsb@1Corinthians:2:14 @ But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God. They are foolishness to him! He cannot know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

nsb@1Corinthians:2:16 @ »Who has understood the mind of Jehovah, or has instructed him, as his counselor?« (Isaiah strkjv@40:13) But we do have the mind of Christ.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:1 @ Brothers, I was not able to speak to you as to spiritual men, but as fleshly men, as babes in Christ.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I fed you milk and not solid food. You were not able to receive it. You are not able now!

nsb@1Corinthians:3:4 @ While one said, »I belong to Paul;« and another, »I belong to Apollos;« are you not fleshly human beings?

nsb@1Corinthians:3:5 @ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

nsb@1Corinthians:3:8 @ Now he who plants and he who waters are one and every man will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:9 @ For we are fellow workers together with God. You are God's field under cultivation. You are God's building.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let every man take heed how he builds.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:12 @ Now if any man builds upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, and stubble;

nsb@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

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

nsb@1Corinthians:3:23 @ And you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and make apparent the counsels of the hearts. Then each mans praise will come from God.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Brothers I have applied these things to myself and to Apollos for your sakes. That way you might learn the value of the saying: Do not go beyond the things written. None of you should be arrogant against one another.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who made you superior to another? What do you have that you did not receive? If you did receive it, why do you brag, as if you did not receive it?

nsb@1Corinthians:4:8 @ You are full and now you are rich, you have reigned as kings without us. I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For I think that God has placed us apostles last as men appointed to death. We are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:11 @ Even to this present hour we both hunger and thirst. We are naked. We are treated badly and we are homeless.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:13 @ being slandered, we answer kindly. We are made as the filth of the world and are the refuse of all things to this day.

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

nsb@1Corinthians:4:15 @ Though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus I have given birth to you through the good news.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:16 @ For this reason I urge you to imitate me.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:17 @ I send Timothy, my beloved son faithful in the Lord, to you for this purpose. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ, just as I teach it in every congregation.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Now some have become proud, thinking that I would not come to you.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I will come to you shortly, if God wills, and I will get to know what the proud ones do and not what they say, but their power.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:21 @ What do you want? Shall I come to you with punishment or with love, and in the mild spirit of meekness?

nsb@1Corinthians:5:5 @ Deliver this one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

nsb@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote in a letter to you not to keep company with fornicators.

nsb@1Corinthians:5:10 @ Yet you cannot completely avoid the fornicators of this world, nor the greedy persons, nor cheaters and robbers, nor those who worship idols. To do so you would have to leave this world.

nsb@1Corinthians:5:11 @ I wrote you not to keep company with any man who is called a brother who is a fornicator, or who is greedy, or who worships idols, or constantly gets drunk, or cheats people. Do not even eat with such a person.

nsb@1Corinthians:5:12 @ What have I to do with judging those outside? Do we not judge those who are inside?

nsb@1Corinthians:6:1 @ If you have a dispute with another do you dare to go to a law court before judges who are ungodly? Why not let the holy ones decide who is right?

nsb@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the holy ones will judge the world? And if you will judge the world, are you unworthy to judge these small matters?

nsb@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the matters that pertain to this life?

nsb@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, would you appoint as judges those who mean nothing to the congregation?

nsb@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I speak to shame you. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? Not one who would be able to judge between his brothers?

nsb@1Corinthians:6:6 @ But brother goes to court against brother, and this before unbelievers.

nsb@1Corinthians:6:8 @ Instead you do wrong and defraud, and you do this to your brothers and sisters!

nsb@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither fornicators, nor people who worship idols, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

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

nsb@1Corinthians:6:12 @ All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the authority of anything.

nsb@1Corinthians:6:16 @ What? Do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For he said: »Two will be one flesh.«

nsb@1Corinthians:6:17 @ He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Concerning the things that you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:2 @ Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let the husband fulfill his marital duties to his wife and also the wife to her husband.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent for a time. That way you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer. Then come together again, that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:8 @ I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they stay unmarried like me.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. It is better to marry than to be inflamed.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:10 @ To the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord commands do not let the wife depart from her husband.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:11 @ If she leaves, let her remain unmarried or become reconciled to her husband. A husband should not divorce his wife.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:12 @ To the others, I speak and not the Lord. If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him he should not divorce her.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And the woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is willing to live with her, she should not divorce him.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:15 @ If the unbelieving leave, let him leave. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases for God has called us to peace.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:17 @ But as God has distributed to every person so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the congregations.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:23 @ You are bought with a price. Stop being slaves of men.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Now concerning virgins I have no commandment from the Lord. Yet I give my opinion as one who has obtained the mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:26 @ Because of the present distress I think it is good for you to remain as you are.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:27 @ Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek a release. Are you released from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:28 @ If you marry you have not sinned. If a virgin marries she has not sinned. Those who marry will face many problems in this life and I want to spare you.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:32 @ I want you to be free from anxiety. He who is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:35 @ I say this for your benefit and not to restrict you. I show you how to live a noble life of devotion to the Lord without being distracted by other things.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If any man thinks he behaves improperly toward his virgin, if she is past her youth, let him do what he will, he does not sin if they get married.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:39 @ The wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. If her husband dies, she is free to marry whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

nsb@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Concerning things offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

nsb@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If any man thinks he knows any thing, he really knows nothing, according to what he ought to know.

nsb@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Concerning the eating of food offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

nsb@1Corinthians:8:6 @ But to us there is but one God, the Father. All things come from him and we live for him. And there is one Lord Jesus Christ. All things were made through him and we were made through him.

nsb@1Corinthians:8:7 @ Not all people know this. Some eat food offered to idols and their conscience being weak is defiled.

nsb@1Corinthians:8:8 @ But food will not recommend us to God. If we do not eat we are not worse. If we eat we are not better.

nsb@1Corinthians:8:9 @ Be careful that this freedom does not become a stumbling block to those who are weak.

nsb@1Corinthians:8:10 @ If any man with knowledge sees you having a meal from an idols temple, will the conscience of the weak one be emboldened to eat food offered to idols?

nsb@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If I am not an apostle to others, I most certainly am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

nsb@1Corinthians:9:3 @ My answer to those who examine me is as follows:

nsb@1Corinthians:9:4 @ Do we have a right to eat and drink?

nsb@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Do we have a right to lead a sister as a wife just like other apostles, and as brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

nsb@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or is it only Barnabas and I who do not have the right to refrain from secular work?

nsb@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we sow spiritual seed in you, is it too much if we reap material things?

nsb@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these rights! Neither have I written these things, that it should be done to me. It would be better for me to die, than that any man should make my reason for boasting void.

nsb@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward. But if I do it against my will, I am just performing the trust of the good news committed to me.

nsb@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For, though I am free from all persons, yet I have made myself a servant to all, that I might gain more.

nsb@1Corinthians:9:20 @ To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews. To those under the Law, as under the Law, that I might gain those under the Law.

nsb@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those without Law I became like those without Law that I might gain them. I am not without law to God, but under the law to Christ.

nsb@1Corinthians:9:22 @ To the weak I became as the weak, that I might gain the weak. I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

nsb@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Every man taking part in the contest is temperate in all things. They do it to obtain a corruptible crown but we do it to receive an incorruptible crown.

nsb@1Corinthians:9:27 @ But I discipline my body, and bring it into subjection, so that after I have preached to others I will not be disqualified.

nsb@1Corinthians:10:1 @ Brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant about how all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.

nsb@1Corinthians:10:2 @ They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

nsb@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things were examples for us. They teach us not to lust after evil things like they did.

nsb@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Do not be idolaters like some of them. It is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play.

nsb@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to man. God is faithful and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your limits. He will make a way out, that you will be able to endure it.

nsb@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to wise men. You judge what I say.

nsb@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What do I mean? That the idol is anything, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything?

nsb@1Corinthians:10:20 @ But I say, that the things that the nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.

nsb@1Corinthians:10:22 @ Do we provoke Jehovah to rivalry? Are we stronger than he?

nsb@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If a nonbeliever invites you to a feast and you feel you must go eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience sake.

nsb@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any man says to you: »This is offered in sacrifice to idols,« do not eat for the sake of the one who said it and for conscience sake.

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

nsb@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Do not stumble or offend, neither to the Jews, nor to the nations, nor to the congregation of God.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:2 @ Now I praise you, brothers, because you remember me in all things, and carefully follow the teachings just as I delivered them to you.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:6 @ For if the woman were not covered, let her also be shaved. But if it is a shame for a woman to have her head shaved, let her be covered.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:11 @ However in the Lord, both men and women exist together. Not one without the other.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge in yourselves. Is it proper that women pray to God uncovered?

nsb@1Corinthians:11:15 @ But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her for her hair is given her for a covering.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:17 @ Now in this that I declare to you that I do not praise you. For you come together not for the better but for the worse.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For first of all, when you come together in the congregation, I hear that there are divisions among you and I partly believe it.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When you come together to one place, this is not to eat the Lord's Supper.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:22 @ Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the congregation of God, and shame them that have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I will not praise you!

nsb@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord that which I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same manner, after supper, he took the cup, saying, »This cup represents the new covenant of my blood. Drink this as often as you do it in remembrance of me.«

nsb@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:33 @ When you come together to eat, wait for one another.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If any man is hungry let him eat at home. That way you come together without condemnation. I will give direction to care for other matters when I come.

nsb@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be without knowledge.

nsb@1Corinthians:12:3 @ I want you to understand that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed. And no person can say, »Jesus is the Lord,« except by the Holy Spirit.

nsb@1Corinthians:12:7 @ The manifestation of the Spirit is given to everyone for a beneficial purpose.

nsb@1Corinthians:12:8 @ For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

nsb@1Corinthians:12:9 @ To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the one Spirit;

nsb@1Corinthians:12:10 @ To another the workings of miracles and to another prophesy. To another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues.

nsb@1Corinthians:12:11 @ But in all these the same Spirit works, making a distribution to each one as he wills.

nsb@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether we are Jews or people of the nations, whether we are bond or free; we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

nsb@1Corinthians:12:21 @ And the eye cannot say to the hand, »I have no need of you:« nor again the head to the feet, »I have no need of you.«

nsb@1Corinthians:12:22 @ Those members of the body, which seem to be weaker, are necessary.

nsb@1Corinthians:12:23 @ And those members of the body that we think to be less honorable, we offer these more honors. Our less acceptable parts have more abundant acceptability.

nsb@1Corinthians:12:24 @ For our acceptable parts have no need. But God has assembled the body together, having given more abundant honor to the part that was lacking.

nsb@1Corinthians:12:28 @ God has appointed some in the congregation: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helpers, abilities to direct, different tongues.

nsb@1Corinthians:12:30 @ Do all have the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

nsb@1Corinthians:13:1 @ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and do not have love, I have become like loud sounding brass, or a clashing cymbal.

nsb@1Corinthians:13:2 @ If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all secrets and all knowledge, and though I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

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

nsb@1Corinthians:13:5 @ Love does not act indecently. It is not selfish. It is not provoked and does not take into account a wrong suffered.

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

nsb@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, and reason like a child. When I became an adult I did away with childish things.

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

nsb@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For the person who speaks in an unknown tongue does not speak to men, but to God. No man understands him. He speaks secrets by the spirit.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But the person who prophesies speaks to men to build up, encourage and comfort.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:4 @ The person who speaks in an unknown tongue enlightens himself; but he who declares Gods Word enlightens the entire congregation!

nsb@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I would like it that you all speak with tongues, but I prefer that you prophesy. The person who announces Gods Word is greater than the person who speaks with tongues. The person who speaks with tongues should have an interpreter so the congregation may receive understanding and knowledge.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:6 @ Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

nsb@1Corinthians:14:9 @ The same for you unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will speak into the air.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:11 @ Therefore if I do not know the meaning of what someone is saying I will be a foreigner to him that speaks. And he that speaks will be a foreigner to me too.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:12 @ As much as you are zealous for spiritual gifts, strive to build-up the enlightenment of the congregation.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:13 @ Let the one who speaks in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret what he says.

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

nsb@1Corinthians:14:18 @ I thank God that I speak with tongues more then all of you.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:19 @ Yet in the congregation I would rather speak five words with my understanding than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:20 @ Brothers, do not be like children in understanding. When it comes to evil be innocent children but in your thinking be mature adults.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:21 @ It is written in the law: »With men of other tongues and lips of foreigners I will speak to this people. Even then they will not listen to me,« said Jehovah.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:22 @ Therefore speaking in tongues is a sign not for believers, but for those who do not believe. Prophesying serves the believer and not the unbeliever.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:23 @ If therefore the whole congregation comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and the unlearned, or unbelievers, come there will they not say that you are out of your mind?

nsb@1Corinthians:14:26 @ How is it then, brothers? When you come together, every one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongue, has a revelation, and has an interpretation. Let all things be done to clarify and offer understanding!

nsb@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If anyone speaks in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three. It should be orderly by plan and someone must interpret.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:28 @ But if there is no interpreter, let the speaker keep silence in the congregation and speak to himself and to God.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:30 @ If there is a revelation to another while sitting there, let the others keep quiet.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:34 @ Let women keep silent in the congregations. They are not permitted speak. They must be in submission as it says in the law.
