rsv@Matthew:6:25 @ "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

rsv@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

rsv@Matthew:6:30 @ But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith?

rsv@Matthew:7:11 @ If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

rsv@Matthew:10:15 @ Truly, I say to you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomor'rah than for that town.

rsv@Matthew:10:25 @ it is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Be-el'zebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.

rsv@Matthew:10:31 @ Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

rsv@Matthew:10:37 @ He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;

rsv@Matthew:11:9 @ Why then did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

rsv@Matthew:11:22 @ But I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.

rsv@Matthew:11:24 @ But I tell you that it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you."

rsv@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and brings with him seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. So shall it be also with this evil generation."

rsv@Matthew:13:12 @ For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

rsv@Matthew:18:12 @ And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray.

rsv@Matthew:20:10 @ Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius.

rsv@Matthew:20:31 @ The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent; but they cried out the more, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

rsv@Matthew:21:36 @ Again he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them.

rsv@Matthew:22:46 @ And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did any one dare to ask him any more questions.

rsv@Matthew:25:16 @ He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them; and he made five talents more.

rsv@Matthew:25:17 @ So also, he who had the two talents made two talents more.

rsv@Matthew:25:20 @ And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, `Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.'

rsv@Matthew:25:22 @ And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, `Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.'

rsv@Matthew:25:29 @ For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

rsv@Matthew:26:53 @ Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?

rsv@Mark:4:24 @ And he said to them, "Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you.

rsv@Mark:4:25 @ For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away."

rsv@Mark:5:3 @ who lived among the tombs; and no one could bind him any more, even with a chain;

rsv@Mark:7:35 @ And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.

rsv@Mark:10:48 @ And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

rsv@Mark:12:33 @ and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

rsv@Mark:12:43 @ And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury.

rsv@Mark:14:5 @ For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." And they reproached her.

rsv@Mark:15:14 @ And Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him."

rsv@Luke:3:13 @ And he said to them, "Collect no more than is appointed you."

rsv@Luke:5:15 @ But so much the more the report went abroad concerning him; and great multitudes gathered to hear and to be healed of their infirmities.

rsv@Luke:7:26 @ What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

rsv@Luke:7:42 @ When they could not pay, he forgave them both. Now which of them will love him more?"

rsv@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered, "The one, I suppose, to whom he forgave more." And he said to him, "You have judged rightly."

rsv@Luke:8:18 @ Take heed then how you hear; for to him who has will more be given, and from him who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away."

rsv@Luke:8:49 @ While he was still speaking, a man from the ruler's house came and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more."

rsv@Luke:11:13 @ If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

rsv@Luke:11:26 @ Then he goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first."

rsv@Luke:12:4 @ "I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

rsv@Luke:12:7 @ Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.

rsv@Luke:12:23 @ For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.

rsv@Luke:12:24 @ Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!

rsv@Luke:12:28 @ But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith!

rsv@Luke:12:48 @ But he who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, shall receive a light beating. Every one to whom much is given, of him will much be required; and of him to whom men commit much they will demand the more.

rsv@Luke:14:8 @ "When you are invited by any one to a marriage feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest a more eminent man than you be invited by him;

rsv@Luke:15:7 @ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

rsv@Luke:16:8 @ The master commended the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.

rsv@Luke:16:21 @ who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

rsv@Luke:18:30 @ who will not receive manifold more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life."

rsv@Luke:18:39 @ And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

rsv@Luke:19:4 @ So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

rsv@Luke:19:16 @ The first came before him, saying, `Lord, your pound has made ten pounds more.'

rsv@Luke:19:26 @ `I tell you, that to every one who has will more be given; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

rsv@Luke:20:36 @ for they cannot die any more, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

rsv@Luke:21:3 @ And he said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them;

rsv@Luke:22:49 @ But Jesus said, "No more of this!" And he touched his ear and healed him.

rsv@Luke:23:19 @ Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus;

rsv@Luke:24:21 @ Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning

rsv@John:4:1 @ Now when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

rsv@John:4:41 @ And many more believed because of his word.

rsv@John:5:13 @ Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you."

rsv@John:5:17 @ This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.

rsv@John:7:31 @ Yet many of the people believed in him; they said, "When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?"

rsv@John:8:8 @ And once more he bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

rsv@John:12:43 @ for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

rsv@John:14:19 @ Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more, but you will see me; because I live, you will live also.

rsv@John:15:2 @ Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

rsv@John:16:10 @ concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more;

rsv@John:16:16 @ "A little while, and you will see me no more; again a little while, and you will see me."

rsv@John:17:11 @ And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.

rsv@John:19:8 @ When Pilate heard these words, he was the more afraid;

rsv@John:21:15 @ When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

rsv@Acts:2:26 @ therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; moreover my flesh will dwell in hope.

rsv@Acts:4:17 @ But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to any one in this name."

rsv@Acts:4:22 @ For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

rsv@Acts:5:14 @ And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,

rsv@Acts:8:38 @ And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught up Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing.

rsv@Acts:9:22 @ But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ.

rsv@Acts:13:34 @ And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he spoke in this way, `I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.'

rsv@Acts:17:11 @ Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessaloni'ca, for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

rsv@Acts:18:26 @ He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aq'uila heard him, they took him and expounded to him the way of God more accurately.

rsv@Acts:20:25 @ And now, behold, I know that all you among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom will see my face no more.

rsv@Acts:20:35 @ In all things I have shown you that by so toiling one must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, `It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

rsv@Acts:20:38 @ sorrowing most of all because of the word he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him to the ship.

rsv@Acts:21:28 @ crying out, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching men everywhere against the people and the law and this place; moreover he also brought Greeks into the temple, and he has defiled this holy place."

rsv@Acts:22:2 @ And when they heard that he addressed them in the Hebrew language, they were the more quiet. And he said:

rsv@Acts:23:13 @ There were more than forty who made this conspiracy.

rsv@Acts:23:15 @ You therefore, along with the council, give notice now to the tribune to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case more exactly. And we are ready to kill him before he comes near."

rsv@Acts:23:20 @ And he said, "The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to inquire somewhat more closely about him.

rsv@Acts:23:21 @ But do not yield to them; for more than forty of their men lie in ambush for him, having bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him; and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you."

rsv@Acts:24:10 @ As you may ascertain, it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem;

rsv@Acts:25:6 @ When he had stayed among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesare'a; and the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought.

rsv@Acts:27:11 @ But the centurion paid more attention to the captain and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.

rsv@Romans:5:3 @ More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,

rsv@Romans:5:9 @ Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

rsv@Romans:5:10 @ For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

rsv@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.

rsv@Romans:5:17 @ If, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

rsv@Romans:5:20 @ Law came in, to increase the trespass; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

rsv@Romans:8:37 @ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

rsv@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!

rsv@Romans:11:24 @ For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree.

rsv@Romans:12:3 @ For by the grace given to me I bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him.

rsv@Romans:14:13 @ Then let us no more pass judgment on one another, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

rsv@Romans:16:26 @ to the only wise God be glory for evermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, matters pertaining to this life!

rsv@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others share this rightful claim upon you, do not we still more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:24 @ which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior part,

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

rsv@1Corinthians:14:5 @ Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless some one interprets, so that the church may be edified.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:18 @ I thank God that I speak in tongues more than you all;

rsv@1Corinthians:15:6 @ Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Come to your right mind, and sin no more. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience that we have behaved in the world, and still more toward you, with holiness and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what faded away came with splendor, what is permanent must have much more splendor.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we are comforted. And besides our own comfort we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his mind has been set at rest by you all.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his heart goes out all the more to you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, and the fear and trembling with which you received him.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And with them we are sending our brother whom we have often tested and found earnest in many matters, but who is now more earnest than ever because of his great confidence in you.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one--I am talking like a madman--with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Though if I wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for I shall be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:9 @ but he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:15 @ I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you the more, am I to be loved the less?

rsv@Galatians:3:20 @ Now an intermediary implies more than one; but God is one.

rsv@Galatians:4:9 @ but now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and beggarly elemental spirits, whose slaves you want to be once more?

rsv@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and shout, you who are not in travail; for the children of the desolate one are many more than the children of her that is married."

rsv@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,

rsv@Philippians:1:9 @ And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment,

rsv@Philippians:1:14 @ and most of the brethren have been made confident in the Lord because of my imprisonment, and are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.

rsv@Philippians:1:24 @ But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.

rsv@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

rsv@Philippians:2:28 @ I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious.

rsv@Philippians:3:4 @ Though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If any other man thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

rsv@Philippians:4:18 @ I have received full payment, and more; I am filled, having received from Epaphrodi'tus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But since we were bereft of you, brethren, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Finally, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, just as you are doing, you do so more and more.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ and indeed you do love all the brethren throughout Macedo'nia. But we exhort you, brethren, to do so more and more,

rsv@1Timothy:3:7 @ moreover he must be well thought of by outsiders, or he may fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

rsv@2Timothy:2:16 @ Avoid such godless chatter, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,

rsv@Titus:3:10 @ As for a man who is factious, after admonishing him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him,

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

rsv@Philemon:1:21 @ Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.

rsv@Hebrews:1:4 @ having become as much superior to angels as the name he has obtained is more excellent than theirs.

rsv@Hebrews:3:3 @ Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house.

rsv@Hebrews:6:17 @ So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he interposed with an oath,

rsv@Hebrews:7:15 @ This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchiz'edek,

rsv@Hebrews:8:6 @ But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry which is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.

rsv@Hebrews:8:12 @ For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more."

rsv@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)

rsv@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

rsv@Hebrews:10:17 @ then he adds, "I will remember their sins and their misdeeds no more."

rsv@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

rsv@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he received approval as righteous, God bearing witness by accepting his gifts; he died, but through his faith he is still speaking.

rsv@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets--

rsv@Hebrews:12:9 @ Besides this, we have had earthly fathers to discipline us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?

rsv@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel.

rsv@Hebrews:12:26 @ His voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven."

rsv@Hebrews:12:27 @ This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of what is shaken, as of what has been made, in order that what cannot be shaken may remain.

rsv@Hebrews:13:19 @ I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner.

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

rsv@James:4:6 @ But he gives more grace; therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

rsv@1Peter:1:7 @ so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold which though perishable is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

rsv@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore, brethren, be the more zealous to confirm your call and election, for if you do this you will never fall;

rsv@2Peter:1:19 @ And we have the prophetic word made more sure. You will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
