rsv@Ezekiel:42:3 @ Adjoining the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and facing the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.

rsv@Ezekiel:42:4 @ And before the chambers was a passage inward, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long, and their doors were on the north.

rsv@Ezekiel:42:6 @ For they were in three stories, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer court; hence the upper chambers were set back from the ground more than the lower and the middle ones.

rsv@Ezekiel:42:7 @ And there was a wall outside parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court, opposite the chambers, fifty cubits long.

rsv@Ezekiel:42:8 @ For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those opposite the temple were a hundred cubits long.

rsv@Ezekiel:42:14 @ When the priests enter the holy place, they shall not go out of it into the outer court without laying there the garments in which they minister, for these are holy; they shall put on other garments before they go near to that which is for the people."

rsv@Ezekiel:42:15 @ Now when he had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate which faced east, and measured the temple area round about.

rsv@Daniel:8:12 @ And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through transgression; and truth was cast down to the ground, and the horn acted and prospered.

rsv@Daniel:8:13 @ Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to the one that spoke, "For how long is the vision concerning the continual burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled under foot?"

rsv@Mark:5:19 @ But he refused, and said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."

rsv@Mark:5:23 @ and besought him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live."

rsv@Mark:5:26 @ and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.

rsv@Mark:5:29 @ And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

rsv@Mark:5:30 @ And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my garments?"

rsv@Mark:5:34 @ And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease."

rsv@Mark:5:35 @ While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler's house some who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?"

rsv@Mark:5:37 @ And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

rsv@Mark:5:39 @ And when he had entered, he said to them, "Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping."

rsv@Mark:5:42 @ And immediately the girl got up and walked (she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.

rsv@Mark:6:2 @ And on the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; and many who heard him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get all this? What is the wisdom given to him? What mighty works are wrought by his hands!

rsv@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.

rsv@Mark:6:6 @ And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching.

rsv@Mark:6:10 @ And he said to them, "Where you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place.

rsv@Mark:6:11 @ And if any place will not receive you and they refuse to hear you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them."

rsv@Mark:6:13 @ And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

rsv@Mark:6:19 @ And Hero'di-as had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not,

rsv@Mark:6:20 @ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly.

rsv@Mark:6:22 @ For when Hero'di-as' daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will grant it."

rsv@Mark:6:23 @ And he vowed to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom."

rsv@Mark:6:25 @ And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

rsv@Mark:6:27 @ And immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard and gave orders to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison,

rsv@Mark:6:28 @ and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

rsv@Mark:6:34 @ As he went ashore he saw a great throng, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

rsv@Mark:6:35 @ And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a lonely place, and the hour is now late;

rsv@Mark:6:42 @ And they all ate and were satisfied.

rsv@Mark:6:44 @ And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

rsv@Mark:6:45 @ Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Beth-sa'ida, while he dismissed the crowd.

rsv@Mark:6:46 @ And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray.

rsv@Mark:6:50 @ for they all saw him, and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take heart, it is I; have no fear."

rsv@Mark:6:51 @ And he got into the boat with them and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,

rsv@Mark:6:54 @ And when they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,

rsv@Mark:7:2 @ they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands defiled, that is, unwashed.

rsv@Mark:7:6 @ And he said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, `This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;

rsv@Mark:7:7 @ in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.'

rsv@Mark:7:11 @ but you say, `If a man tells his father or his mother, What you would have gained from me is Corban' (that is, given to God)--

rsv@Mark:7:16 @ And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.

rsv@Mark:7:17 @ And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him,

rsv@Mark:7:18 @ since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)

rsv@Mark:7:20 @ For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery,

rsv@Mark:7:23 @ And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and would not have any one know it; yet he could not be hid.

rsv@Mark:7:24 @ But immediately a woman, whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell down at his feet.

rsv@Mark:7:25 @ Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoeni'cian by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

rsv@Mark:7:28 @ And he said to her, "For this saying you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter."

rsv@Mark:7:32 @ And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue;

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:8:8 @ And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.

rsv@Mark:8:10 @ And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanu'tha.

rsv@Mark:8:11 @ The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, to test him.

rsv@Mark:8:13 @ And he left them, and getting into the boat again he departed to the other side.

rsv@Mark:8:14 @ Now they had forgotten to bring bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

rsv@Mark:8:25 @ Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly.

rsv@Mark:8:26 @ And he sent him away to his home, saying, "Do not even enter the village."

rsv@Mark:8:29 @ And he asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."

rsv@Mark:8:30 @ And he charged them to tell no one about him.

rsv@Mark:8:31 @ And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

rsv@Mark:8:32 @ And he said this plainly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

rsv@Mark:8:33 @ But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of God, but of men."

rsv@Mark:8:34 @ And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

rsv@Mark:8:38 @ For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

rsv@Mark:9:1 @ And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power."

rsv@Mark:9:2 @ And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them,

rsv@Mark:9:3 @ and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them.

rsv@Mark:9:5 @ And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah."

rsv@Mark:9:7 @ And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him."

rsv@Mark:9:9 @ And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead.

rsv@Mark:9:10 @ So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.

rsv@Mark:9:12 @ And he said to them, "Eli'jah does come first to restore all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

rsv@Mark:9:13 @ But I tell you that Eli'jah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him."

rsv@Mark:9:15 @ And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and ran up to him and greeted him.

rsv@Mark:9:17 @ And one of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a dumb spirit;

rsv@Mark:9:18 @ and wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able."

rsv@Mark:9:20 @ And they brought the boy to him; and when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

rsv@Mark:9:22 @ And it has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us."

rsv@Mark:9:24 @ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!"

rsv@Mark:9:25 @ And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again."

rsv@Mark:9:26 @ And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of them said, "He is dead."

rsv@Mark:9:27 @ But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

rsv@Mark:9:28 @ And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"

rsv@Mark:9:31 @ for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise."

rsv@Mark:9:34 @ But they were silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest.

rsv@Mark:9:38 @ John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us."

rsv@Mark:9:39 @ But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me.

rsv@Mark:9:41 @ For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward.

rsv@Mark:9:42 @ "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

rsv@Mark:9:43 @ And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire.

rsv@Mark:9:44 @ And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.

rsv@Mark:9:45 @ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell,

rsv@Mark:9:47 @ For every one will be salted with fire.

rsv@Mark:10:2 @ And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"

rsv@Mark:10:4 @ They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away."

rsv@Mark:10:5 @ But Jesus said to them, "For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.

rsv@Mark:10:10 @ And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter.

rsv@Mark:10:11 @ And he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her;

rsv@Mark:10:12 @ and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

rsv@Mark:10:15 @ Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."

rsv@Mark:10:17 @ And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

rsv@Mark:10:19 @ You know the commandments: `Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'"

rsv@Mark:10:20 @ And he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth."

rsv@Mark:10:22 @ At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.

rsv@Mark:10:23 @ And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!"

rsv@Mark:10:24 @ And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

rsv@Mark:10:25 @ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

rsv@Mark:10:28 @ Peter began to say to him, "Lo, we have left everything and followed you."

rsv@Mark:10:29 @ Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,

rsv@Mark:10:30 @ who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life.

rsv@Mark:10:32 @ And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him,

rsv@Mark:10:34 @ and they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and kill him; and after three days he will rise."

rsv@Mark:10:35 @ And James and John, the sons of Zeb'edee, came forward to him, and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you."

rsv@Mark:10:41 @ And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John.

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:10:51 @ And Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" And the blind man said to him, "Master, let me receive my sight."

rsv@Mark:10:52 @ And Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.

rsv@Mark:11:2 @ and said to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat; untie it and bring it.

rsv@Mark:11:3 @ If any one says to you, `Why are you doing this?' say, `The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.'"

rsv@Mark:11:11 @ And he entered Jerusalem, and went into the temple; and when he had looked round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

rsv@Mark:11:15 @ And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons;

rsv@Mark:11:16 @ and he would not allow any one to carry anything through the temple.

rsv@Mark:11:17 @ And he taught, and said to them, "Is it not written, `My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers."

rsv@Mark:11:18 @ And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and sought a way to destroy him; for they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

rsv@Mark:11:21 @ And Peter remembered and said to him, "Master, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered."

rsv@Mark:11:24 @ Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

rsv@Mark:11:26 @ And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him,

rsv@Mark:11:28 @ Jesus said to them, "I will ask you a question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

rsv@Mark:11:32 @ So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

rsv@Mark:12:1 @ And he began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a pit for the wine press, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country.

rsv@Mark:12:2 @ When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.

rsv@Mark:12:4 @ Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.

rsv@Mark:12:7 @ But those tenants said to one another, `This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'

rsv@Mark:12:9 @ What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and give the vineyard to others.

rsv@Mark:12:15 @ Should we pay them, or should we not?" But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why put me to the test? Bring me a coin, and let me look at it."

rsv@Mark:12:19 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.

rsv@Mark:12:31 @ The second is this, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

rsv@Mark:12:32 @ And the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he;

rsv@Mark:12:34 @ And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to ask him any question.

rsv@Mark:12:35 @ And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, "How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

rsv@Mark:12:38 @ And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places

rsv@Mark:12:40 @ who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."

rsv@Mark:12:41 @ And he sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums.

rsv@Mark:12:44 @ For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living."

rsv@Mark:13:1 @ And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"

rsv@Mark:13:3 @ And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

rsv@Mark:14:49 @ Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the scriptures be fulfilled."

rsv@Mark:14:54 @ And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards, and warming himself at the fire.

rsv@Mark:14:67 @ and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus."

rsv@Mark:14:70 @ But again he denied it. And after a little while again the bystanders said to Peter, "Certainly you are one of them; for you are a Galilean."

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:9:7 @ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,

rsv@Luke:9:17 @ And all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what was left over, twelve baskets of broken pieces.

rsv@Luke:9:20 @ And he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered, "The Christ of God."

rsv@Luke:9:21 @ But he charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,

rsv@Luke:9:22 @ saying, "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."

rsv@Luke:23:14 @ and said to them, "You brought me this man as one who was perverting the people; and after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him;

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

rsv@Luke:23:20 @ but they shouted out, "Crucify, crucify him!"

rsv@Luke:23:23 @ So Pilate gave sentence that their demand should be granted.

rsv@Luke:23:26 @ And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.

rsv@Luke:23:27 @ But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

rsv@Luke:23:49 @ Now there was a man named Joseph from the Jewish town of Arimathe'a. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man,

rsv@Luke:23:50 @ who had not consented to their purpose and deed, and he was looking for the kingdom of God.

rsv@Luke:23:51 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

rsv@Luke:23:55 @ then they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

rsv@Luke:24:5 @ and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

rsv@Luke:24:25 @ Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?"

rsv@Luke:24:26 @ And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

rsv@Luke:24:36 @ But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit.

rsv@Luke:24:41 @ and he took it and ate before them.

rsv@Luke:24:42 @ Then he said to them, "These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."

rsv@John:1:7 @ He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him.

rsv@John:1:9 @ The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world.

rsv@John:1:15 @ (John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'")

rsv@John:1:19 @ And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

rsv@John:1:26 @ John answered them, "I baptize with water; but among you stands one whom you do not know,

rsv@John:1:27 @ even he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."

rsv@John:1:30 @ This is he of whom I said, `After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.'

rsv@John:1:31 @ I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel."

rsv@John:1:33 @ I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, `He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

rsv@John:1:38 @ Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

rsv@John:1:39 @ He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

rsv@John:1:40 @ One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

rsv@John:1:42 @ He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).

rsv@John:1:44 @ Now Philip was from Beth-sa'ida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

rsv@John:1:45 @ Philip found Nathan'a-el, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

rsv@John:2:2 @ Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples.

rsv@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

rsv@John:2:6 @ Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

rsv@John:2:7 @ Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim.

rsv@John:2:11 @ This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

rsv@John:2:12 @ After this he went down to Caper'na-um, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples; and there they stayed for a few days.

rsv@John:2:14 @ In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business.

rsv@John:2:15 @ And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.

rsv@John:2:17 @ His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for thy house will consume me."

rsv@John:2:19 @ Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

rsv@John:2:20 @ The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?"

rsv@John:2:21 @ But he spoke of the temple of his body.

rsv@John:3:2 @ This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."

rsv@John:3:4 @ Nicode'mus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"

rsv@John:3:5 @ Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

rsv@John:3:10 @ Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand this?

rsv@John:3:11 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony.

rsv@John:3:12 @ If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

rsv@John:3:14 @ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,

rsv@John:3:15 @ that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."

rsv@John:3:16 @ For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

rsv@John:3:20 @ For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

rsv@John:3:22 @ After this Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; there he remained with them and baptized.

rsv@John:3:23 @ John also was baptizing at Ae'non near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were baptized.

rsv@John:3:32 @ He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony;

rsv@John:3:33 @ he who receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true.

rsv@John:3:34 @ For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for it is not by measure that he gives the Spirit;

rsv@John:3:36 @ He who believes in the Son has eternal life; he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God rests upon him.

rsv@John:4:3 @ he left Judea and departed again to Galilee.

rsv@John:4:7 @ There came a woman of Samar'ia to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."

rsv@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, `Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

rsv@John:4:11 @ The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; where do you get that living water?

rsv@John:4:12 @ Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?"

rsv@John:4:13 @ Jesus said to her, "Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again,

rsv@John:4:14 @ but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

rsv@John:4:15 @ The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."

rsv@John:4:28 @ So the woman left her water jar, and went away into the city, and said to the people,

rsv@John:4:35 @ Do you not say, `There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest.

rsv@John:4:36 @ He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.

rsv@John:4:38 @ I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."

rsv@John:4:39 @ Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did."

rsv@John:4:43 @ After the two days he departed to Galilee.

rsv@John:4:44 @ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

rsv@John:4:46 @ So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Caper'na-um there was an official whose son was ill.

rsv@John:4:52 @ So he asked them the hour when he began to mend, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

rsv@John:5:1 @ After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

rsv@John:5:2 @ Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-za'tha, which has five porticoes.

rsv@John:5:6 @ The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me."

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:5:15 @ And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath.

rsv@John:5:18 @ Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise.

rsv@John:5:19 @ For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel.

rsv@John:5:23 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

rsv@John:5:25 @ For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself,

rsv@John:5:26 @ and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.

rsv@John:5:30 @ If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true;

rsv@John:5:31 @ there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true.

rsv@John:5:33 @ Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.

rsv@John:5:35 @ But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me.

rsv@John:5:38 @ You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me;

rsv@John:5:45 @ If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me.

rsv@John:6:1 @ After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiber'i-as.

rsv@John:6:6 @ This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

rsv@John:6:8 @ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

rsv@John:6:11 @ Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

rsv@John:6:12 @ And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost."

rsv@John:6:13 @ So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten.

rsv@John:6:17 @ got into a boat, and started across the sea to Caper'na-um. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

rsv@John:6:19 @ When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat. They were frightened,

rsv@John:6:21 @ Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

rsv@John:6:22 @ On the next day the people who remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

rsv@John:6:23 @ However, boats from Tiber'i-as came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

rsv@John:6:26 @ Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.

rsv@John:6:27 @ Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you; for on him has God the Father set his seal."

rsv@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, `He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"

rsv@John:6:40 @ For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

rsv@John:6:45 @ It is written in the prophets, `And they shall all be taught by God.' Every one who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

rsv@John:6:47 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.

rsv@John:6:49 @ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

rsv@John:6:52 @ The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

rsv@John:6:54 @ he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

rsv@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live for ever."

rsv@John:6:60 @ Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?"

rsv@John:6:65 @ And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father."

rsv@John:6:66 @ After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him.

rsv@John:6:68 @ Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life;

rsv@John:7:1 @ After this Jesus went about in Galilee; he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

rsv@John:7:7 @ The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil.

rsv@John:7:10 @ But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private.

rsv@John:7:12 @ And there was much muttering about him among the people. While some said, "He is a good man," others said, "No, he is leading the people astray."

rsv@John:7:14 @ About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

rsv@John:7:16 @ So Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me;

rsv@John:7:17 @ if any man's will is to do his will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.

rsv@John:7:28 @ So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, "You know me, and you know where I come from? But I have not come of my own accord; he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

rsv@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the crowd thus muttering about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

rsv@John:7:35 @ The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we shall not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

rsv@John:7:38 @ He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, `Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.'"

rsv@John:7:44 @ Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.

rsv@John:8:2 @ Early in the morning he came again to the temple; all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.

rsv@John:8:3 @ The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst

rsv@John:8:4 @ they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.

rsv@John:8:6 @ This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

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

rsv@John:8:13 @ The Pharisees then said to him, "You are bearing witness to yourself; your testimony is not true."

rsv@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered, "Even if I do bear witness to myself, my testimony is true, for I know whence I have come and whither I am going, but you do not know whence I come or whither I am going.

rsv@John:8:17 @ In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true;

rsv@John:8:20 @ These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

rsv@John:8:28 @ So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak thus as the Father taught me.

rsv@John:8:45 @ But, because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.

rsv@John:8:46 @ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

rsv@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, `If any one keeps my word, he will never taste death.'

rsv@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you claim to be?"

rsv@John:8:59 @ So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

rsv@John:9:6 @ As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed the man's eyes with the clay,

rsv@John:9:11 @ He answered, "The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, `Go to Silo'am and wash'; so I went and washed and received my sight."

rsv@John:9:27 @ He answered them, "I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you too want to become his disciples?"

rsv@John:9:31 @ We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him.

rsv@John:9:34 @ They answered him, "You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?" And they cast him out.

rsv@John:10:1 @ "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber;

rsv@John:10:2 @ but he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

rsv@John:10:3 @ To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

rsv@John:10:9 @ I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

rsv@John:10:10 @ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

rsv@John:10:12 @ He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

rsv@John:10:20 @ Many of them said, "He has a demon, and he is mad; why listen to him?"

rsv@John:10:23 @ it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon.

rsv@John:10:24 @ So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

rsv@John:10:28 @ and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.

rsv@John:10:29 @ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

rsv@John:10:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, `I said, you are gods'?

rsv@John:10:36 @ do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, `You are blaspheming,' because I said, `I am the Son of God'?

rsv@John:11:1 @ Now a certain man was ill, Laz'arus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

rsv@John:11:2 @ It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Laz'arus was ill.

rsv@John:11:3 @ So the sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, he whom you love is ill."

rsv@John:11:5 @ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Laz'arus.

rsv@John:11:7 @ Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go into Judea again."

rsv@John:11:22 @ And even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you."

rsv@John:11:28 @ When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying quietly, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you."

rsv@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days."

rsv@John:11:40 @ Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"

rsv@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

rsv@John:11:56 @ They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"

rsv@John:12:3 @ Mary took a pound of costly ointment of pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

rsv@John:12:14 @ And Jesus found a young ass and sat upon it; as it is written,

rsv@John:12:15 @ "Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on an ass's colt!"

rsv@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that this had been written of him and had been done to him.

rsv@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees then said to one another, "You see that you can do nothing; look, the world has gone after him."

rsv@John:12:25 @ He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

rsv@John:12:32 @ and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself."

rsv@John:12:36 @ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said this, he departed and hid himself from them.

rsv@John:12:50 @ And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has bidden me."

rsv@John:13:5 @ Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.

rsv@John:13:6 @ He came to Simon Peter; and Peter said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"

rsv@John:13:7 @ Jesus answered him, "What I am doing you do not know now, but afterward you will understand."

rsv@John:14:26 @ But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

rsv@John:14:28 @ You heard me say to you, `I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.

rsv@John:15:7 @ If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

rsv@John:15:13 @ Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

rsv@John:15:15 @ No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

rsv@John:15:16 @ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

rsv@John:15:18 @ "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.

rsv@John:15:19 @ If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

rsv@John:15:20 @ Remember the word that I said to you, `A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

rsv@John:15:23 @ He who hates me hates my Father also.

rsv@John:15:24 @ If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

rsv@John:15:25 @ It is to fulfil the word that is written in their law, `They hated me without a cause.'

rsv@John:16:7 @ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

rsv@John:16:8 @ And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:

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

rsv@John:16:13 @ When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

rsv@John:16:19 @ Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him; so he said to them, "Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, `A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'?

rsv@John:16:25 @ "I have said this to you in figures; the hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in figures but tell you plainly of the Father.

rsv@John:16:32 @ The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, every man to his home, and will leave me alone; yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

rsv@John:17:1 @ When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son that the Son may glorify thee,

rsv@John:17:2 @ since thou hast given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him.

rsv@John:17:3 @ And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

rsv@John:17:6 @ "I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world; thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word.

rsv@John:17:14 @ I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

rsv@John:17:19 @ And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth.

rsv@John:17:25 @ O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee; and these know that thou hast sent me.

rsv@John:18:1 @ When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the Kidron valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

rsv@John:18:2 @ Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

rsv@John:18:3 @ So Judas, procuring a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

rsv@John:18:10 @ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus.

rsv@John:18:11 @ Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?"

rsv@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. As this disciple was known to the high priest, he entered the court of the high priest along with Jesus,

rsv@John:18:16 @ while Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door, and brought Peter in.

rsv@John:18:17 @ The maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are not you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."

rsv@John:18:18 @ Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves; Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

rsv@John:18:19 @ The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

rsv@John:18:20 @ Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together; I have said nothing secretly.

rsv@John:18:25 @ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "Are not you also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not."

rsv@John:18:26 @ One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

rsv@John:18:27 @ Peter again denied it; and at once the cock crowed.

rsv@John:18:28 @ Then they led Jesus from the house of Ca'iaphas to the praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not enter the praetorium, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

rsv@John:18:29 @ So Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

rsv@John:18:31 @ Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put any man to death."

rsv@John:18:33 @ Pilate entered the praetorium again and called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

rsv@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me; what have you done?"

rsv@John:18:37 @ Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice."

rsv@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again, and told them, "I find no crime in him.

rsv@John:19:1 @ Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.

rsv@John:19:2 @ And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple robe;

rsv@John:19:4 @ Pilate went out again, and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him."

rsv@John:19:5 @ So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!"

rsv@John:19:6 @ When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no crime in him."

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

rsv@John:19:9 @ he entered the praetorium again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave no answer.

rsv@John:19:10 @ Pilate therefore said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?"

rsv@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin."

rsv@John:19:12 @ Upon this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar."

rsv@John:19:13 @ When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gab'batha.

rsv@John:19:15 @ They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

rsv@John:19:19 @ Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross; it read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."

rsv@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

rsv@John:19:21 @ The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, "Do not write, `The King of the Jews,' but, `This man said, I am King of the Jews.'"

rsv@John:19:22 @ Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."

rsv@John:19:24 @ so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be." This was to fulfil the scripture, "They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots."

rsv@John:19:25 @ So the soldiers did this. But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Mag'dalene.

rsv@John:19:28 @ After this Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfil the scripture), "I thirst."

rsv@John:19:31 @ Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

rsv@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.

rsv@John:19:35 @ He who saw it has borne witness--his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth--that you also may believe.

rsv@John:19:38 @ After this Joseph of Arimathe'a, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took away his body.

rsv@John:20:2 @ So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him."

rsv@John:20:3 @ Peter then came out with the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.

rsv@John:20:4 @ They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first;

rsv@John:20:6 @ Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying,

rsv@John:20:12 @ and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.

rsv@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."

rsv@John:20:16 @ Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rab-bo'ni!" (which means Teacher).

rsv@John:20:26 @ Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you."

rsv@John:20:30 @ Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

rsv@John:20:31 @ but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

rsv@John:21:1 @ After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tibe'ri-as; and he revealed himself in this way.

rsv@John:21:2 @ Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathan'a-el of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zeb'edee, and two others of his disciples were together.

rsv@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will go with you." They went out and got into the boat; but that night they caught nothing.

rsv@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work, and sprang into the sea.

rsv@John:21:11 @ So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

rsv@John:21:14 @ This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

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@John:21:16 @ A second time he said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

rsv@John:21:17 @ He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

rsv@John:21:19 @ (This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, "Follow me."

rsv@John:21:20 @ Peter turned and saw following them the disciple whom Jesus loved, who had lain close to his breast at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?"

rsv@John:21:21 @ When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"

rsv@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who is bearing witness to these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

rsv@John:21:25 @ But there are also many other things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

rsv@Acts:1:1 @ In the first book, O The-oph'ilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach,

rsv@Acts:1:2 @ until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.

rsv@Acts:1:3 @ To them he presented himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God.

rsv@Acts:1:5 @ for John baptized with water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."

rsv@Acts:1:9 @ And when he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

rsv@Acts:1:10 @ And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes,

rsv@Acts:1:13 @ and when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James.

rsv@Acts:1:14 @ All these with one accord devoted themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

rsv@Acts:1:15 @ In those days Peter stood up among the brethren (the company of persons was in all about a hundred and twenty), and said,

rsv@Acts:1:16 @ "Brethren, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to those who arrested Jesus.

rsv@Acts:1:17 @ For he was numbered among us, and was allotted his share in this ministry.

rsv@Acts:1:20 @ For it is written in the book of Psalms, `Let his habitation become desolate, and let there be no one to live in it'; and `His office let another take.'

rsv@Acts:2:1 @ When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.

rsv@Acts:2:3 @ And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them.

rsv@Acts:2:4 @ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

rsv@Acts:2:9 @ Par'thians and Medes and E'lamites and residents of Mesopota'mia, Judea and Cappado'cia, Pontus and Asia,

rsv@Acts:2:10 @ Phryg'ia and Pamphyl'ia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyre'ne, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

rsv@Acts:2:11 @ Cretans and Arabians, we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God."

rsv@Acts:2:14 @ But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.

rsv@Acts:2:17 @ `And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;

rsv@Acts:2:22 @ "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know--

rsv@Acts:2:23 @ this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.

rsv@Acts:2:33 @ Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you see and hear.

rsv@Acts:2:37 @ Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?"

rsv@Acts:2:38 @ And Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

rsv@Acts:2:40 @ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation."

rsv@Acts:2:42 @ And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

rsv@Acts:2:45 @ and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need.

rsv@Acts:2:46 @ And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts,

rsv@Acts:3:1 @ Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

rsv@Acts:3:2 @ And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at that gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms of those who entered the temple.

rsv@Acts:3:3 @ Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms.

rsv@Acts:3:4 @ And Peter directed his gaze at him, with John, and said, "Look at us."

rsv@Acts:3:5 @ And he fixed his attention upon them, expecting to receive something from them.

rsv@Acts:3:6 @ But Peter said, "I have no silver and gold, but I give you what I have; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."

rsv@Acts:3:7 @ And he took him by the right hand and raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.

rsv@Acts:3:8 @ And leaping up he stood and walked and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

rsv@Acts:3:10 @ and recognized him as the one who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

rsv@Acts:3:11 @ While he clung to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico called Solomon's, astounded.

rsv@Acts:3:12 @ And when Peter saw it he addressed the people, "Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we had made him walk?

rsv@Acts:3:13 @ The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.

rsv@Acts:3:14 @ But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

rsv@Acts:3:17 @ "And now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

rsv@Acts:3:24 @ And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came afterwards, also proclaimed these days.

rsv@Acts:3:25 @ You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God gave to your fathers, saying to Abraham, `And in your posterity shall all the families of the earth be blessed.'

rsv@Acts:4:1 @ And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sad'ducees came upon them,

rsv@Acts:4:2 @ annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

rsv@Acts:4:3 @ And they arrested them and put them in custody until the morrow, for it was already evening.

rsv@Acts:4:8 @ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders,

rsv@Acts:4:11 @ This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, but which has become the head of the corner.

rsv@Acts:4:13 @ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they wondered; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.

rsv@Acts:4:18 @ So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

rsv@Acts:4:19 @ But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge;

rsv@Acts:4:24 @ And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, "Sovereign Lord, who didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them,

rsv@Acts:4:33 @ And with great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

rsv@Acts:4:36 @ Thus Joseph who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas (which means, Son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,

rsv@Acts:5:3 @ But Peter said, "Anani'as, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the proceeds of the land?

rsv@Acts:5:4 @ While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."

rsv@Acts:5:7 @ After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

rsv@Acts:5:8 @ And Peter said to her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." And she said, "Yes, for so much."

rsv@Acts:5:9 @ But Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Hark, the feet of those that have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."

rsv@Acts:5:10 @ Immediately she fell down at his feet and died. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

rsv@Acts:5:15 @ so that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and pallets, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

rsv@Acts:5:16 @ The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

rsv@Acts:5:18 @ they arrested the apostles and put them in the common prison.

rsv@Acts:5:21 @ And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and taught. Now the high priest came and those who were with him and called together the council and all the senate of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

rsv@Acts:5:22 @ But when the officers came, they did not find them in the prison, and they returned and reported,

rsv@Acts:5:24 @ Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed about them, wondering what this would come to.

rsv@Acts:5:38 @ So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this undertaking is of men, it will fail;

rsv@Acts:5:41 @ Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.

rsv@Acts:5:42 @ And every day in the temple and at home they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

rsv@Acts:6:1 @ Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, the Hellenists murmured against the Hebrews because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution.

rsv@Acts:7:5 @ yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot's length, but promised to give it to him in possession and to his posterity after him, though he had no child.

rsv@Acts:7:6 @ And God spoke to this effect, that his posterity would be aliens in a land belonging to others, who would enslave them and ill-treat them four hundred years.

rsv@Acts:7:7 @ `But I will judge the nation which they serve,' said God, `and after that they shall come out and worship me in this place.'

rsv@Acts:7:17 @ "But as the time of the promise drew near, which God had granted to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt

rsv@Acts:7:28 @ Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'

rsv@Acts:7:37 @ This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, `God will raise up for you a prophet from your brethren as he raised me up.'

rsv@Acts:7:42 @ But God turned and gave them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: `Did you offer to me slain beasts and sacrifices, forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

rsv@Acts:7:43 @ And you took up the tent of Moloch, and the star of the god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship; and I will remove you beyond Babylon.'

rsv@Acts:7:44 @ "Our fathers had the tent of witness in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses directed him to make it, according to the pattern that he had seen.

rsv@Acts:7:52 @ Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered,

rsv@Acts:7:54 @ Now when they heard these things they were enraged, and they ground their teeth against him.

rsv@Acts:7:59 @ And as they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

rsv@Acts:8:1 @ And Saul was consenting to his death. And on that day a great persecution arose against the church in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the region of Judea and Sama'ria, except the apostles.

rsv@Acts:8:2 @ Devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.

rsv@Acts:8:3 @ But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.

rsv@Acts:8:4 @ Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word.

rsv@Acts:8:10 @ They all gave heed to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is that power of God which is called Great."

rsv@Acts:8:13 @ Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip. And seeing signs and great miracles performed, he was amazed.

rsv@Acts:8:14 @ Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Sama'ria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John,

rsv@Acts:8:20 @ But Peter said to him, "Your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!

rsv@Acts:8:21 @ You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.

rsv@Acts:8:22 @ Repent therefore of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.

rsv@Acts:8:23 @ For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity."

rsv@Acts:8:25 @ Now when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.

rsv@Acts:8:27 @ And he rose and went. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a minister of the Can'dace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship

rsv@Acts:8:28 @ and was returning; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.

rsv@Acts:8:31 @ And he said, "How can I, unless some one guides me?" And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

rsv@Acts:8:32 @ Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this: "As a sheep led to the slaughter or a lamb before its shearer is dumb, so he opens not his mouth.

rsv@Acts:8:36 @ And as they went along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "See, here is water! What is to prevent my being baptized?"

rsv@Acts:8:37 @ And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

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:9:2 @ and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

rsv@Acts:9:4 @ And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"

rsv@Acts:9:6 @ but rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do."

rsv@Acts:9:9 @ And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

rsv@Acts:9:17 @ So Anani'as departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

rsv@Acts:9:18 @ And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized,

rsv@Acts:9:20 @ And in the synagogues immediately he proclaimed Jesus, saying, "He is the Son of God."

rsv@Acts:9:23 @ When many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him,

rsv@Acts:9:24 @ but their plot became known to Saul. They were watching the gates day and night, to kill him;

rsv@Acts:9:26 @ And when he had come to Jerusalem he attempted to join the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple.

rsv@Acts:9:29 @ preaching boldly in the name of the Lord. And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists; but they were seeking to kill him.

rsv@Acts:9:32 @ Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints that lived at Lydda.

rsv@Acts:9:34 @ And Peter said to him, "Aene'as, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed." And immediately he rose.

rsv@Acts:9:38 @ Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him entreating him, "Please come to us without delay."

rsv@Acts:9:39 @ So Peter rose and went with them. And when he had come, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping, and showing tunics and other garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.

rsv@Acts:9:40 @ But Peter put them all outside and knelt down and prayed; then turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, rise." And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.

rsv@Acts:9:41 @ And he gave her his hand and lifted her up. Then calling the saints and widows he presented her alive.

rsv@Acts:10:4 @ And he stared at him in terror, and said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

rsv@Acts:10:5 @ And now send men to Joppa, and bring one Simon who is called Peter;

rsv@Acts:10:7 @ When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those that waited on him,

rsv@Acts:10:8 @ and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

rsv@Acts:10:9 @ The next day, as they were on their journey and coming near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.

rsv@Acts:10:13 @ And there came a voice to him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat."

rsv@Acts:10:14 @ But Peter said, "No, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."

rsv@Acts:10:17 @ Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate

rsv@Acts:10:18 @ and called out to ask whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there.

rsv@Acts:10:19 @ And while Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are looking for you.

rsv@Acts:10:21 @ And Peter went down to the men and said, "I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for your coming?"

rsv@Acts:10:22 @ And they said, "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to hear what you have to say."

rsv@Acts:10:24 @ And on the following day they entered Caesare'a. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his kinsmen and close friends.

rsv@Acts:10:25 @ When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.

rsv@Acts:10:26 @ But Peter lifted him up, saying, "Stand up; I too am a man."

rsv@Acts:10:28 @ and he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit any one of another nation; but God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

rsv@Acts:10:32 @ Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon who is called Peter; he is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the seaside.'

rsv@Acts:10:34 @ And Peter opened his mouth and said: "Truly I perceive that God shows no partiality,

rsv@Acts:10:41 @ not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

rsv@Acts:10:42 @ And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that he is the one ordained by God to be judge of the living and the dead.

rsv@Acts:10:44 @ While Peter was still saying this, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.

rsv@Acts:10:45 @ And the believers from among the circumcised who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.

rsv@Acts:10:46 @ For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared,

rsv@Acts:10:47 @ "Can any one forbid water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?"

rsv@Acts:11:2 @ So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him,

rsv@Acts:11:4 @ But Peter began and explained to them in order:

rsv@Acts:11:7 @ And I heard a voice saying to me, `Rise, Peter; kill and eat.'

rsv@Acts:11:8 @ But I said, `No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'

rsv@Acts:11:12 @ And the Spirit told me to go with them, making no distinction. These six brethren also accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.

rsv@Acts:11:13 @ And he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying, `Send to Joppa and bring Simon called Peter;

rsv@Acts:11:16 @ And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, `John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

rsv@Acts:11:18 @ When they heard this they were silenced. And they glorified God, saying, "Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance unto life."

rsv@Acts:11:19 @ Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoeni'cia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none except Jews.

rsv@Acts:11:23 @ When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad; and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose;

rsv@Acts:11:29 @ And the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the brethren who lived in Judea;

rsv@Acts:12:3 @ and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread.

rsv@Acts:12:4 @ And when he had seized him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people.

rsv@Acts:12:5 @ So Peter was kept in prison; but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church.

rsv@Acts:12:6 @ The very night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison;

rsv@Acts:12:7 @ and behold, an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, "Get up quickly." And the chains fell off his hands.

rsv@Acts:12:10 @ When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened to them of its own accord, and they went out and passed on through one street; and immediately the angel left him.

rsv@Acts:12:11 @ And Peter came to himself, and said, "Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting."

rsv@Acts:12:13 @ And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a maid named Rhoda came to answer.

rsv@Acts:12:14 @ Recognizing Peter's voice, in her joy she did not open the gate but ran in and told that Peter was standing at the gate.

rsv@Acts:12:15 @ They said to her, "You are mad." But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel!"

rsv@Acts:12:16 @ But Peter continued knocking; and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed.

rsv@Acts:12:17 @ But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, "Tell this to James and to the brethren." Then he departed and went to another place.

rsv@Acts:12:18 @ Now when day came, there was no small stir among the soldiers over what had become of Peter.

rsv@Acts:12:21 @ On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and made an oration to them.

rsv@Acts:12:22 @ And the people shouted, "The voice of a god, and not of man!"

rsv@Acts:12:23 @ Immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he did not give God the glory; and he was eaten by worms and died.

rsv@Acts:13:1 @ Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyre'ne, Man'a-en a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

rsv@Acts:13:3 @ Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.

rsv@Acts:13:7 @ He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

rsv@Acts:13:9 @ But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him

rsv@Acts:13:10 @ and said, "You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?

rsv@Acts:13:11 @ And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind and unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand.

rsv@Acts:13:12 @ Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

rsv@Acts:13:15 @ After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say it."

rsv@Acts:13:16 @ So Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said: "Men of Israel, and you that fear God, listen.

rsv@Acts:13:17 @ The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it.

rsv@Acts:13:20 @ And after that he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

rsv@Acts:13:22 @ And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; of whom he testified and said, `I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'

rsv@Acts:13:23 @ Of this man's posterity God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised.

rsv@Acts:13:25 @ And as John was finishing his course, he said, `What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'

rsv@Acts:13:27 @ For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning him.

rsv@Acts:13:28 @ Though they could charge him with nothing deserving death, yet they asked Pilate to have him killed.

rsv@Acts:13:29 @ And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

rsv@Acts:13:33 @ this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, `Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee.'

rsv@Acts:13:36 @ For David, after he had served the counsel of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption;

rsv@Acts:13:45 @ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted what was spoken by Paul, and reviled him.

rsv@Acts:13:46 @ And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

rsv@Acts:13:47 @ For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, `I have set you to be a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.'"

rsv@Acts:13:48 @ And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God; and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

rsv@Acts:13:50 @ But the Jews incited the devout women of high standing and the leading men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district.

rsv@Acts:14:1 @ Now at Ico'nium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue, and so spoke that a great company believed, both of Jews and of Greeks.

rsv@Acts:14:5 @ When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to molest them and to stone them,

rsv@Acts:14:9 @ He listened to Paul speaking; and Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well,

rsv@Acts:14:11 @ And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycao'nian, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!"

rsv@Acts:14:13 @ And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifice with the people.

rsv@Acts:14:20 @ But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city; and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.

rsv@Acts:14:22 @ strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.

rsv@Acts:14:23 @ And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they believed.

rsv@Acts:15:1 @ But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

rsv@Acts:15:2 @ And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question.

rsv@Acts:15:6 @ The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter.

rsv@Acts:15:7 @ And after there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.

rsv@Acts:15:32 @ And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words and strengthened them.

rsv@Acts:15:33 @ And after they had spent some time, they were sent off in peace by the brethren to those who had sent them.

rsv@Acts:15:34 @ But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

rsv@Acts:15:35 @ And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Come, let us return and visit the brethren in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are."

rsv@Acts:15:36 @ And Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark.

rsv@Acts:15:38 @ And there arose a sharp contention, so that they separated from each other; Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,

rsv@Acts:15:39 @ but Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.

rsv@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

rsv@Acts:16:7 @ And when they had come opposite My'sia, they attempted to go into Bithyn'ia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;

rsv@Acts:16:10 @ And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedo'nia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

rsv@Acts:16:13 @ and on the sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.

rsv@Acts:16:20 @ and when they had brought them to the magistrates they said, "These men are Jews and they are disturbing our city.

rsv@Acts:16:23 @ And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.

rsv@Acts:16:24 @ Having received this charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

rsv@Acts:16:25 @ But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,

rsv@Acts:16:26 @ and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were unfastened.

rsv@Acts:16:35 @ But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, "Let those men go."

rsv@Acts:16:36 @ And the jailer reported the words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace."

rsv@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now cast us out secretly? No! let them come themselves and take us out."

rsv@Acts:16:38 @ The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens;

rsv@Acts:16:40 @ So they went out of the prison, and visited Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they exhorted them and departed.

rsv@Acts:17:10 @ The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroe'a; and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue.

rsv@Acts:17:14 @ Then the brethren immediately sent Paul off on his way to the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained there.

rsv@Acts:17:15 @ Those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.

rsv@Acts:18:3 @ and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them, and they worked, for by trade they were tentmakers.

rsv@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedo'nia, Paul was occupied with preaching, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.

rsv@Acts:18:11 @ And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

rsv@Acts:18:12 @ But when Gallio was proconsul of Acha'ia, the Jews made a united attack upon Paul and brought him before the tribunal,

rsv@Acts:18:17 @ And they all seized Sos'thenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to this.

rsv@Acts:18:18 @ After this Paul stayed many days longer, and then took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aq'uila. At Cen'chre-ae he cut his hair, for he had a vow.

rsv@Acts:18:22 @ When he had landed at Caesare'a, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch.

rsv@Acts:18:23 @ After spending some time there he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phryg'ia, strengthening all the disciples.

rsv@Acts:18:25 @ He had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.

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:18:27 @ And when he wished to cross to Acha'ia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed,

rsv@Acts:18:28 @ for he powerfully confuted the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.

rsv@Acts:19:4 @ And Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus."

rsv@Acts:19:8 @ And he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, arguing and pleading about the kingdom of God;

rsv@Acts:19:16 @ And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, mastered all of them, and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

rsv@Acts:19:19 @ And a number of those who practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all; and they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver.

rsv@Acts:19:21 @ Now after these events Paul resolved in the Spirit to pass through Macedo'nia and Acha'ia and go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

rsv@Acts:19:24 @ For a man named Deme'trius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Ar'temis, brought no little business to the craftsmen.

rsv@Acts:19:27 @ And there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the great goddess Ar'temis may count for nothing, and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world worship."

rsv@Acts:19:28 @ When they heard this they were enraged, and cried out, "Great is Ar'temis of the Ephesians!"

rsv@Acts:19:29 @ So the city was filled with the confusion; and they rushed together into the theater, dragging with them Ga'ius and Aristar'chus, Macedo'nians who were Paul's companions in travel.

rsv@Acts:19:31 @ some of the A'si-archs also, who were friends of his, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.

rsv@Acts:19:33 @ Some of the crowd prompted Alexander, whom the Jews had put forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand, wishing to make a defense to the people.

rsv@Acts:19:34 @ But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all with one voice cried out, "Great is Ar'temis of the Ephesians!"

rsv@Acts:19:35 @ And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, "Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Ar'temis, and of the sacred stone that fell from the sky?

rsv@Acts:19:36 @ Seeing then that these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash.

rsv@Acts:20:1 @ After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples and having exhorted them took leave of them and departed for Macedo'nia.

rsv@Acts:20:3 @ There he spent three months, and when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedo'nia.

rsv@Acts:20:4 @ Sop'ater of Beroe'a, the son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him; and of the Thessalo'nians, Aristar'chus and Secun'dus; and Ga'ius of Derbe, and Timothy; and the Asians, Tych'icus and Troph'imus.

rsv@Acts:20:6 @ but we sailed away from Philip'pi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we came to them at Tro'as, where we stayed for seven days.

rsv@Acts:20:7 @ On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and he prolonged his speech until midnight.

rsv@Acts:20:11 @ And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed.

rsv@Acts:20:12 @ And they took the lad away alive, and were not a little comforted.

rsv@Acts:20:13 @ But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land.

rsv@Acts:20:15 @ And sailing from there we came the following day opposite Chi'os; the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after that we came to Mile'tus.

rsv@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.

rsv@Acts:20:19 @ serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which befell me through the plots of the Jews;

rsv@Acts:20:23 @ except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me.

rsv@Acts:20:24 @ But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may accomplish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

rsv@Acts:20:26 @ Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all of you,

rsv@Acts:20:29 @ I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;

rsv@Acts:20:30 @ and from among your own selves will arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

rsv@Acts:20:31 @ Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish every one with tears.

rsv@Acts:20:33 @ I coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel.

rsv@Acts:20:34 @ You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities, and to those who were with me.

rsv@Acts:21:1 @ And when we had parted from them and set sail, we came by a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Pat'ara.

rsv@Acts:21:5 @ And when our days there were ended, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way till we were outside the city; and kneeling down on the beach we prayed and bade one another farewell.

rsv@Acts:21:7 @ When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolema'is; and we greeted the brethren and stayed with them for one day.

rsv@Acts:21:8 @ On the morrow we departed and came to Caesare'a; and we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

rsv@Acts:21:9 @ And he had four unmarried daughters, who prophesied.

rsv@Acts:21:15 @ After these days we made ready and went up to Jerusalem.

rsv@Acts:21:19 @ After greeting them, he related one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.

rsv@Acts:21:21 @ and they have been told about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe the customs.

rsv@Acts:21:23 @ Do therefore what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow;

rsv@Acts:21:25 @ But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from unchastity."

rsv@Acts:21:26 @ Then Paul took the men, and the next day he purified himself with them and went into the temple, to give notice when the days of purification would be fulfilled and the offering presented for every one of them.

rsv@Acts:21:27 @ When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, who had seen him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd, and laid hands on him,

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:21:29 @ For they had previously seen Troph'imus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

rsv@Acts:21:30 @ Then all the city was aroused, and the people ran together; they seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.

rsv@Acts:21:33 @ Then the tribune came up and arrested him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done.

rsv@Acts:21:34 @ Some in the crowd shouted one thing, some another; and as he could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.

rsv@Acts:21:35 @ And when he came to the steps, he was actually carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;

rsv@Acts:21:40 @ And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the steps, motioned with his hand to the people; and when there was a great hush, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying:

rsv@Acts:22:3 @ "I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cili'cia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gama'li-el, educated according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God as you all are this day.

rsv@Acts:22:4 @ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering to prison both men and women,

rsv@Acts:22:5 @ as the high priest and the whole council of elders bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brethren, and I journeyed to Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished.

rsv@Acts:22:7 @ And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, `Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?'

rsv@Acts:22:10 @ And I said, `What shall I do, Lord?' And the Lord said to me, `Rise, and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do.'

rsv@Acts:22:14 @ And he said, `The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the Just One and to hear a voice from his mouth;

rsv@Acts:22:17 @ "When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance

rsv@Acts:22:18 @ and saw him saying to me, `Make haste and get quickly out of Jerusalem, because they will not accept your testimony about me.'

rsv@Acts:22:20 @ And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I also was standing by and approving, and keeping the garments of those who killed him.'

rsv@Acts:22:22 @ Up to this word they listened to him; then they lifted up their voices and said, "Away with such a fellow from the earth! For he ought not to live."

rsv@Acts:22:24 @ the tribune commanded him to be brought into the barracks, and ordered him to be examined by scourging, to find out why they shouted thus against him.

rsv@Acts:22:27 @ So the tribune came and said to him, "Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?" And he said, "Yes."

rsv@Acts:23:1 @ And Paul, looking intently at the council, said, "Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience up to this day."

rsv@Acts:23:3 @ Then Paul said to him, "God shall strike you, you whitewashed wall! Are you sitting to judge me according to the law, and yet contrary to the law you order me to be struck?"

rsv@Acts:23:5 @ And Paul said, "I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, `You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.'"

rsv@Acts:23:9 @ Then a great clamor arose; and some of the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and contended, "We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit or an angel spoke to him?"

rsv@Acts:23:11 @ The following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must bear witness also at Rome."

rsv@Acts:23:14 @ And they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, "We have strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste no food till we have killed Paul.

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:23:16 @ Now the son of Paul's sister heard of their ambush; so he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.

rsv@Acts:23:17 @ And Paul called one of the centurions and said, "Take this young man to the tribune; for he has something to tell him."

rsv@Acts:23:19 @ The tribune took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, "What is it that you have to tell me?"

rsv@Acts:23:22 @ So the tribune dismissed the young man, charging him, "Tell no one that you have informed me of this."

rsv@Acts:23:25 @ And he wrote a letter to this effect:

rsv@Acts:23:30 @ And when it was disclosed to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, ordering his accusers also to state before you what they have against him."

rsv@Acts:23:33 @ When they came to Caesare'a and delivered the letter to the governor, they presented Paul also before him.

rsv@Acts:23:34 @ On reading the letter, he asked to what province he belonged. When he learned that he was from Cili'cia

rsv@Acts:24:1 @ And after five days the high priest Anani'as came down with some elders and a spokesman, one Tertul'lus. They laid before the governor their case against Paul;

rsv@Acts:24:2 @ and when he was called, Tertul'lus began to accuse him, saying: "Since through you we enjoy much peace, and since by your provision, most excellent Felix, reforms are introduced on behalf of this nation,

rsv@Acts:24:6 @ He even tried to profane the temple, but we seized him.

rsv@Acts:24:11 @ and they did not find me disputing with any one or stirring up a crowd, either in the temple or in the synagogues, or in the city.

rsv@Acts:24:13 @ But this I admit to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, believing everything laid down by the law or written in the prophets,

rsv@Acts:24:16 @ Now after some years I came to bring to my nation alms and offerings.

rsv@Acts:24:17 @ As I was doing this, they found me purified in the temple, without any crowd or tumult. But some Jews from Asia--

rsv@Acts:24:21 @ But Felix, having a rather accurate knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, "When Lys'ias the tribune comes down, I will decide your case."

rsv@Acts:24:22 @ Then he gave orders to the centurion that he should be kept in custody but should have some liberty, and that none of his friends should be prevented from attending to his needs.

rsv@Acts:24:23 @ After some days Felix came with his wife Drusil'la, who was a Jewess; and he sent for Paul and heard him speak upon faith in Christ Jesus.

rsv@Acts:24:25 @ At the same time he hoped that money would be given him by Paul. So he sent for him often and conversed with him.

rsv@Acts:25:1 @ Now when Festus had come into his province, after three days he went up to Jerusalem from Caesare'a.

rsv@Acts:25:4 @ Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesare'a, and that he himself intended to go there shortly.

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:25:8 @ Paul said in his defense, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended at all."

rsv@Acts:25:11 @ If then I am a wrongdoer, and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death; but if there is nothing in their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."

rsv@Acts:25:15 @ and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews gave information about him, asking for sentence against him.

rsv@Acts:25:19 @ but they had certain points of dispute with him about their own superstition and about one Jesus, who was dead, but whom Paul asserted to be alive.

rsv@Acts:25:20 @ Being at a loss how to investigate these questions, I asked whether he wished to go to Jerusalem and be tried there regarding them.

rsv@Acts:25:23 @ So on the morrow Agrippa and Berni'ce came with great pomp, and they entered the audience hall with the military tribunes and the prominent men of the city. Then by command of Festus Paul was brought in.

rsv@Acts:25:26 @ But I have nothing definite to write to my lord about him. Therefore I have brought him before you, and, especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after we have examined him, I may have something to write.

rsv@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him."

rsv@Acts:26:2 @ "I think myself fortunate that it is before you, King Agrippa, I am to make my defense today against all the accusations of the Jews,

rsv@Acts:26:3 @ because you are especially familiar with all customs and controversies of the Jews; therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.

rsv@Acts:26:5 @ They have known for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I have lived as a Pharisee.

rsv@Acts:26:10 @ And I did so in Jerusalem; I not only shut up many of the saints in prison, by authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.

rsv@Acts:26:11 @ And I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to make them blaspheme; and in raging fury against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

rsv@Acts:26:13 @ At midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining round me and those who journeyed with me.

rsv@Acts:26:14 @ And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, `Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It hurts you to kick against the goads.'

rsv@Acts:26:21 @ For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.

rsv@Acts:26:22 @ To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass:

rsv@Acts:27:3 @ The next day we put in at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go to his friends and be cared for.

rsv@Acts:27:7 @ We sailed slowly for a number of days, and arrived with difficulty off Cni'dus, and as the wind did not allow us to go on, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmo'ne.

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@Acts:27:12 @ And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to put to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking northeast and southeast, and winter there.

rsv@Acts:27:13 @ And when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close inshore.

rsv@Acts:27:14 @ But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, struck down from the land;

rsv@Acts:27:17 @ after hoisting it up, they took measures to undergird the ship; then, fearing that they should run on the Syr'tis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.

rsv@Acts:27:20 @ And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many a day, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.

rsv@Acts:27:21 @ As they had been long without food, Paul then came forward among them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me, and should not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss.

rsv@Acts:27:24 @ and he said, `Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and lo, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'

rsv@Acts:27:27 @ When the fourteenth night had come, as we were drifting across the sea of A'dria, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land.

rsv@Acts:27:28 @ So they sounded and found twenty fathoms; a little farther on they sounded again and found fifteen fathoms.

rsv@Acts:27:29 @ And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let out four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day to come.

rsv@Acts:27:30 @ And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,

rsv@Acts:27:33 @ As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and without food, having taken nothing.

rsv@Acts:27:36 @ Then they all were encouraged and ate some food themselves.

rsv@Acts:27:38 @ And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

rsv@Acts:27:41 @ But striking a shoal they ran the vessel aground; the bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was broken up by the surf.

rsv@Acts:28:1 @ After we had escaped, we then learned that the island was called Malta.

rsv@Acts:28:3 @ Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, when a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.

rsv@Acts:28:6 @ They waited, expecting him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead; but when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

rsv@Acts:28:7 @ Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and entertained us hospitably for three days.

rsv@Acts:28:8 @ It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery; and Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him healed him.

rsv@Acts:28:10 @ They presented many gifts to us; and when we sailed, they put on board whatever we needed.

rsv@Acts:28:11 @ After three months we set sail in a ship which had wintered in the island, a ship of Alexandria, with the Twin Brothers as figurehead.

rsv@Acts:28:13 @ And from there we made a circuit and arrived at Rhe'gium; and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Pute'oli.

rsv@Acts:28:14 @ There we found brethren, and were invited to stay with them for seven days. And so we came to Rome.

rsv@Acts:28:17 @ After three days he called together the local leaders of the Jews; and when they had gathered, he said to them, "Brethren, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

rsv@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar--though I had no charge to bring against my nation.

rsv@Acts:28:21 @ And they said to him, "We have received no letters from Judea about you, and none of the brethren coming here has reported or spoken any evil about you.

rsv@Acts:28:23 @ When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in great numbers. And he expounded the matter to them from morning till evening, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the law of Moses and from the prophets.

rsv@Acts:28:25 @ So, as they disagreed among themselves, they departed, after Paul had made one statement: "The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:

rsv@Acts:28:28 @ Let it be known to you then that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen."

rsv@Acts:28:30 @ preaching the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ quite openly and unhindered.

rsv@Romans:1:4 @ and designated Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

rsv@Romans:1:13 @ I want you to know, brethren, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.

rsv@Romans:1:17 @ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, "He who through faith is righteous shall live."

rsv@Romans:1:20 @ Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse;

rsv@Romans:1:30 @ slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

rsv@Romans:2:5 @ But by your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.

rsv@Romans:2:7 @ to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;

rsv@Romans:2:13 @ For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

rsv@Romans:2:15 @ They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them

rsv@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed in the law,

rsv@Romans:2:20 @ a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth--

rsv@Romans:2:21 @ you then who teach others, will you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal?

rsv@Romans:2:22 @ You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

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

rsv@Romans:2:27 @ Then those who are physically uncircumcised but keep the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law.

rsv@Romans:2:28 @ For he is not a real Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something external and physical.

rsv@Romans:2:29 @ He is a Jew who is one inwardly, and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, spiritual and not literal. His praise is not from men but from God.

rsv@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews are entrusted with the oracles of God.

rsv@Romans:3:4 @ By no means! Let God be true though every man be false, as it is written, "That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and prevail when thou art judged."

rsv@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all; for I have already charged that all men, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin,

rsv@Romans:3:10 @ as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one;

rsv@Romans:3:14 @ "Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness."

rsv@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

rsv@Romans:3:21 @ But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from law, although the law and the prophets bear witness to it,

rsv@Romans:3:22 @ the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction;

rsv@Romans:3:25 @ whom God put forward as an expiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins;

rsv@Romans:3:26 @ it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies him who has faith in Jesus.

rsv@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness."

rsv@Romans:4:5 @ And to one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

rsv@Romans:4:6 @ So also David pronounces a blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:

rsv@Romans:4:9 @ Is this blessing pronounced only upon the circumcised, or also upon the uncircumcised? We say that faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

rsv@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it reckoned to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised.

rsv@Romans:4:11 @ He received circumcision as a sign or seal of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised and who thus have righteousness reckoned to them,

rsv@Romans:4:13 @ The promise to Abraham and his descendants, that they should inherit the world, did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

rsv@Romans:4:16 @ That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants-- not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all,

rsv@Romans:4:17 @ as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations" --in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.

rsv@Romans:4:22 @ That is why his faith was "reckoned to him as righteousness."

rsv@Romans:4:23 @ But the words, "it was reckoned to him," were written not for his sake alone,

rsv@Romans:5:4 @ and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,

rsv@Romans:5:7 @ Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man--though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die.

rsv@Romans:5:13 @ sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.

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:5:18 @ Then as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man's act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men.

rsv@Romans:5:19 @ For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man's obedience many will be made righteous.

rsv@Romans:5:21 @ so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

rsv@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

rsv@Romans:6:13 @ Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

rsv@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

rsv@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,

rsv@Romans:6:18 @ and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.

rsv@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once yielded your members to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your members to righteousness for sanctification.

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

rsv@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is sanctification and its end, eternal life.

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

rsv@Romans:7:3 @ Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.

rsv@Romans:7:6 @ But now we are discharged from the law, dead to that which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit.

rsv@Romans:7:15 @ I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.

rsv@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, although your bodies are dead because of sin, your spirits are alive because of righteousness.

rsv@Romans:8:20 @ for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope;

rsv@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words.

rsv@Romans:8:27 @ And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

rsv@Romans:8:34 @ who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us?

rsv@Romans:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

rsv@Romans:9:29 @ And as Isaiah predicted, "If the Lord of hosts had not left us children, we would have fared like Sodom and been made like Gomor'rah."

rsv@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, righteousness through faith;

rsv@Romans:9:31 @ but that Israel who pursued the righteousness which is based on law did not succeed in fulfilling that law.

rsv@Romans:9:33 @ as it is written, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone that will make men stumble, a rock that will make them fall; and he who believes in him will not be put to shame."

rsv@Romans:10:2 @ I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened.

rsv@Romans:10:3 @ For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.

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

rsv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness based on faith says, Do not say in your heart, "Who will ascend into heaven?" (that is, to bring Christ down)

rsv@Romans:10:15 @ And how can men preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news!"

rsv@Romans:11:1 @ I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

rsv@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Eli'jah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

rsv@Romans:11:8 @ as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that should not see and ears that should not hear, down to this very day."

rsv@Romans:11:17 @ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place to share the richness of the olive tree,

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

rsv@Romans:11:22 @ Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off.

rsv@Romans:11:23 @ And even the others, if they do not persist in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.

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:11:25 @ Lest you be wise in your own conceits, I want you to understand this mystery, brethren: a hardening has come upon part of Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles come in,

rsv@Romans:12:14 @ Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.

rsv@Romans:12:16 @ Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited.

rsv@Romans:12:19 @ Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord."

rsv@Romans:13:1 @ Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

rsv@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.

rsv@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of him who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval,

rsv@Romans:13:4 @ for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is the servant of God to execute his wrath on the wrongdoer.

rsv@Romans:13:6 @ For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing.

rsv@Romans:13:9 @ The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

rsv@Romans:14:1 @ As for the man who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not for disputes over opinions.

rsv@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Master is able to make him stand.

rsv@Romans:14:23 @ But he who has doubts is condemned, if he eats, because he does not act from faith; for whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.

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

rsv@Romans:15:4 @ For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

rsv@Romans:15:5 @ May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,

rsv@Romans:15:9 @ and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "Therefore I will praise thee among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name";

rsv@Romans:15:16 @ to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

rsv@Romans:15:22 @ This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you.

rsv@Romans:15:27 @ they were pleased to do it, and indeed they are in debt to them, for if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings.

rsv@Romans:15:28 @ When therefore I have completed this, and have delivered to them what has been raised, I shall go on by way of you to Spain;

rsv@Romans:16:15 @ Greet Philol'ogus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olym'pas, and all the saints who are with them.

rsv@Romans:16:17 @ I appeal to you, brethren, to take note of those who create dissensions and difficulties, in opposition to the doctrine which you have been taught; avoid them.

rsv@Romans:16:18 @ For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by fair and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the simple-minded.

rsv@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you; so do Lucius and Jason and Sosip'ater, my kinsmen.

rsv@Romans:16:22 @ I Tertius, the writer of this letter, greet you in the Lord.

rsv@Romans:16:25 @ but is now disclosed and through the prophetic writings is made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith--

rsv@1Corinthians:1:6 @ even as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you--

rsv@1Corinthians:1:10 @ I appeal to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no dissensions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been reported to me by Chlo'e's people that there is quarreling among you, my brethren.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:16 @ (I did baptize also the household of Steph'anas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any one else.)

rsv@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart."

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

rsv@1Corinthians:1:30 @ He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

rsv@1Corinthians:1:31 @ therefore, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord."

rsv@1Corinthians:2:1 @ When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,"

rsv@1Corinthians:2:13 @ And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I planted, Apol'los watered, but God gave the growth.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:8 @ He who plants and he who waters are equal, and each shall receive his wages according to his labor.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another man is building upon it. Let each man take care how he builds upon it.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:13 @ each man's work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?

rsv@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If any one destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and that temple you are.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness,"

rsv@1Corinthians:4:1 @ This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:4:4 @ I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:6 @ I have applied all this to myself and Apol'los for your benefit, brethren, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:11 @ To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are ill-clad and buffeted and homeless,

rsv@1Corinthians:4:12 @ and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;

rsv@1Corinthians:4:13 @ when slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become, and are now, as the refuse of the world, the offscouring of all things.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:17 @ Therefore I sent to you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that is not found even among pagans; for a man is living with his father's wife.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with immoral men;

rsv@1Corinthians:5:10 @ not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and robbers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But rather I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber--not even to eat with such a one.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:1 @ When one of you has a grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?

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

rsv@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who are least esteemed by the church?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts,

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

rsv@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two shall become one flesh."

rsv@1Corinthians:6:17 @ But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own;

rsv@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now concerning the matters about which you wrote. It is well for a man not to touch a woman.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because of the temptation to immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not refuse one another except perhaps by agreement for a season, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, lest Satan tempt you through lack of self-control.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:10 @ To the married I give charge, not I but the Lord, that the wife should not separate from her husband

rsv@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is consecrated through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving partner desires to separate, let it be so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Every one should remain in the state in which he was called.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:24 @ So, brethren, in whatever state each was called, there let him remain with God.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:29 @ I mean, brethren, the appointed time has grown very short; from now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none,

rsv@1Corinthians:7:34 @ and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman or girl is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please her husband.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:35 @ I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:37 @ But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So that he who marries his betrothed does well; and he who refrains from marriage will do better.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Hence, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that "an idol has no real existence," and that "there is no God but one."

rsv@1Corinthians:8:8 @ Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one sees you, a man of knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, might he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Who tends a flock without getting some of the milk?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For it is written in the law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain." Is it for oxen that God is concerned?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Does he not speak entirely for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of a share in the crop.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we have sown spiritual good among you, is it too much if we reap your material benefits?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things happened to them as a warning, but they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the end of the ages has come.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:29 @ I mean his conscience, not yours--do not eat it.) For why should my liberty be determined by another man's scruples?

rsv@1Corinthians:10:31 @ So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:9 @ Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.)

rsv@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him,

rsv@1Corinthians:11:16 @ If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:17 @ But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:22 @ What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

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:12:28 @ And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:29 @ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

rsv@1Corinthians:12:30 @ Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

rsv@1Corinthians:13:13 @ So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.

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:14:6 @ Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how shall I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

rsv@1Corinthians:14:7 @ If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will any one know what is played?

rsv@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So with yourselves; if you in a tongue utter speech that is not intelligible, how will any one know what is said? For you will be speaking into the air.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:13 @ Therefore, he who speaks in a tongue should pray for the power to interpret.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:23 @ If, therefore, the whole church assembles and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?

rsv@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all,

rsv@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What then, brethren? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn; and let one interpret.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:28 @ But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silence in church and speak to himself and to God.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:34 @ the women should keep silence in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:36 @ What! Did the word of God originate with you, or are you the only ones it has reached?

rsv@1Corinthians:15:1 @ Now I would remind you, brethren, in what terms I preached to you the gospel, which you received, in which you stand,

rsv@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:15 @ We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:27 @ "For God has put all things in subjection under his feet." But when it says, "All things are put in subjection under him," it is plain that he is excepted who put all things under him.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:28 @ When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things under him, that God may be everything to every one.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I protest, brethren, by my pride in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day!

rsv@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are celestial bodies and there are terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:45 @ Thus it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:50 @ I tell you this, brethren: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Lo! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

rsv@1Corinthians:15:54 @ When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

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

rsv@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the contribution for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:3 @ And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:5 @ I will visit you after passing through Macedo'nia, for I intend to pass through Macedo'nia,

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

rsv@1Corinthians:16:8 @ But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,

rsv@1Corinthians:16:15 @ Now, brethren, you know that the household of Steph'anas were the first converts in Acha'ia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints;

rsv@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I rejoice at the coming of Steph'anas and Fortuna'tus and Acha'icus, because they have made up for your absence;

rsv@1Corinthians:16:21 @ I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:1:6 @ If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of the affliction we experienced in Asia; for we were so utterly, unbearably crushed that we despaired of life itself.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Why, we felt that we had received the sentence of death; but that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead;

rsv@2Corinthians:1:11 @ You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to many prayers.

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:1:13 @ For we write you nothing but what you can read and understand; I hope you will understand fully,

rsv@2Corinthians:1:15 @ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have a double pleasure;

rsv@2Corinthians:1:16 @ I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedo'nia, and to come back to you from Macedo'nia and have you send me on my way to Judea.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans like a worldly man, ready to say Yes and No at once?

rsv@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why we utter the Amen through him, to the glory of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:22 @ he has put his seal upon us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For I wrote you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you?

rsv@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on your hearts, to be known and read by all men;

rsv@2Corinthians:3:3 @ and you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God,

rsv@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not in a written code but in the Spirit; for the written code kills, but the Spirit gives life.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:7 @ Now if the dispensation of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such splendor that the Israelites could not look at Moses' face because of its brightness, fading as this was,

rsv@2Corinthians:3:8 @ will not the dispensation of the Spirit be attended with greater splendor?

rsv@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if there was splendor in the dispensation of condemnation, the dispensation of righteousness must far exceed it in splendor.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:13 @ not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not see the end of the fading splendor.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were hardened; for to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:2 @ We have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways; we refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:8 @ We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;

rsv@2Corinthians:4:9 @ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

rsv@2Corinthians:4:10 @ always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For while we live we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:13 @ Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke," we too believe, and so we speak,

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:4:16 @ So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,

rsv@2Corinthians:4:18 @ because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For while we are still in this tent, we sigh with anxiety; not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:5 @ He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:21 @ For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he says, "At the acceptable time I have listened to you, and helped you on the day of salvation." Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:7 @ truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;

rsv@2Corinthians:6:8 @ in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true;

rsv@2Corinthians:6:12 @ You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be mismated with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

rsv@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you,

rsv@2Corinthians:6:18 @ and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

rsv@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Open your hearts to us; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For even when we came into Macedo'nia, our bodies had no rest but we were afflicted at every turn--fighting without and fear within.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:6 @ But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

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:7:8 @ For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it (though I did regret it), for I see that that letter grieved you, though only for a while.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves guiltless in the matter.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So although I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong, nor on account of the one who suffered the wrong, but in order that your zeal for us might be revealed to you in the sight of God.

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:8:2 @ for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of liberality on their part.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own free will,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:5 @ and this, not as we expected, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:6 @ Accordingly we have urged Titus that as he had already made a beginning, he should also complete among you this gracious work.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:7 @ Now as you excel in everything--in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in your love for us--see that you excel in this gracious work also.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And in this matter I give my advice: it is best for you now to complete what a year ago you began not only to do but to desire,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but that as a matter of equality your abundance at the present time should supply their want, so that their abundance may supply your want, that there may be equality.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:15 @ As it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack."

rsv@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest he is going to you of his own accord.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he has been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work which we are carrying on, for the glory of the Lord and to show our good will.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:20 @ We intend that no one should blame us about this liberal gift which we are administering,

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:9:1 @ Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the offering for the saints,

rsv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if some Macedo'nians come with me and find that you are not ready, we be humiliated--to say nothing of you--for being so confident.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written, "He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever."

rsv@2Corinthians:9:10 @ He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:13 @ Under the test of this service, you will glorify God by your obedience in acknowledging the gospel of Christ, and by the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others;

rsv@2Corinthians:10:6 @ being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:9 @ I would not seem to be frightening you with letters.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account."

rsv@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such people understand that what we say by letter when absent, we do when present.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you; we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For it is not the man who commends himself that is accepted, but the man whom the Lord commends.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if some one comes and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you submit to it readily enough.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Did I commit a sin in abasing myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached God's gospel without cost to you?

rsv@2Corinthians:11:12 @ And what I do I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:15 @ So it is not strange if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:21 @ To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever any one dares to boast of--I am speaking as a fool--I also dare to boast of that.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:22 @ Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.

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:11:25 @ Three times I have been beaten with rods; once I was stoned. Three times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been adrift at sea;

rsv@2Corinthians:11:27 @ in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:4 @ and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And to keep me from being too elated by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:10 @ For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But granting that I myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you say, and got the better of you by guile.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I urged Titus to go, and sent the brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit? Did we not take the same steps?

rsv@2Corinthians:12:21 @ I fear that when I come again my God may humble me before you, and I may have to mourn over many of those who sinned before and have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and licentiousness which they have practiced.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Examine yourselves, to see whether you are holding to your faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you fail to meet the test!

rsv@2Corinthians:13:7 @ But we pray God that you may not do wrong--not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may do what is right, though we may seem to have failed.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:10 @ I write this while I am away from you, in order that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.

rsv@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it;

rsv@Galatians:1:18 @ Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days.

rsv@Galatians:1:23 @ they only heard it said, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy."

rsv@Galatians:2:1 @ Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.

rsv@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up by revelation; and I laid before them (but privately before those who were of repute) the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, lest somehow I should be running or had run in vain.

rsv@Galatians:2:6 @ And from those who were reputed to be something (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)--those, I say, who were of repute added nothing to me;

rsv@Galatians:2:7 @ but on the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised

rsv@Galatians:2:8 @ (for he who worked through Peter for the mission to the circumcised worked through me also for the Gentiles),

rsv@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised;

rsv@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain men came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party.

rsv@Galatians:2:13 @ And with him the rest of the Jews acted insincerely, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their insincerity.

rsv@Galatians:3:6 @ Thus Abraham "believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness."

rsv@Galatians:3:10 @ For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them."

rsv@Galatians:3:11 @ Now it is evident that no man is justified before God by the law; for "He who through faith is righteous shall live";

rsv@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree"--

rsv@Galatians:3:17 @ This is what I mean: the law, which came four hundred and thirty years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.

rsv@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made; and it was ordained by angels through an intermediary.

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

rsv@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not; for if a law had been given which could make alive, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.

rsv@Galatians:4:1 @ I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no better than a slave, though he is the owner of all the estate;

rsv@Galatians:4:2 @ but he is under guardians and trustees until the date set by the father.

rsv@Galatians:4:16 @ Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?

rsv@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you who desire to be under law, do you not hear the law?

rsv@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave and one by a free woman.

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@Galatians:4:29 @ But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now.

rsv@Galatians:5:3 @ I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is bound to keep the whole law.

rsv@Galatians:5:5 @ For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness.

rsv@Galatians:5:11 @ But if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

rsv@Galatians:5:12 @ I wish those who unsettle you would mutilate themselves!

rsv@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another take heed that you are not consumed by one another.

rsv@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted.

rsv@Galatians:6:4 @ But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.

rsv@Galatians:6:6 @ Let him who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches.

rsv@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

rsv@Galatians:6:8 @ For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

rsv@Galatians:6:11 @ See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.

rsv@Galatians:6:12 @ It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

rsv@Ephesians:1:9 @ For he has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ

rsv@Ephesians:1:10 @ as a plan for the fulness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

rsv@Ephesians:1:12 @ we who first hoped in Christ have been destined and appointed to live for the praise of his glory.

rsv@Ephesians:1:14 @ which is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

rsv@Ephesians:1:18 @ having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

rsv@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

rsv@Ephesians:2:12 @ remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

rsv@Ephesians:2:15 @ by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace,

rsv@Ephesians:2:21 @ in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

rsv@Ephesians:3:2 @ assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you,

rsv@Ephesians:3:3 @ how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly.

rsv@Ephesians:3:4 @ When you read this you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ,

rsv@Ephesians:3:7 @ Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace which was given me by the working of his power.

rsv@Ephesians:3:9 @ and to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things;

rsv@Ephesians:3:11 @ This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,

rsv@Ephesians:3:17 @ and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

rsv@Ephesians:4:11 @ And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

rsv@Ephesians:4:17 @ Now this I affirm and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds;

rsv@Ephesians:4:18 @ they are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart;

rsv@Ephesians:4:24 @ and put on the new nature, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

rsv@Ephesians:4:28 @ Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his hands, so that he may be able to give to those in need.

rsv@Ephesians:4:31 @ Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, with all malice,

rsv@Ephesians:4:32 @ and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

rsv@Ephesians:5:4 @ Let there be no filthiness, nor silly talk, nor levity, which are not fitting; but instead let there be thanksgiving.

rsv@Ephesians:5:5 @ Be sure of this, that no fornicator or impure man, or one who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

rsv@Ephesians:5:7 @ Therefore do not associate with them,

rsv@Ephesians:5:11 @ Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

rsv@Ephesians:5:26 @ that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

rsv@Ephesians:5:29 @ For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church,

rsv@Ephesians:5:32 @ This mystery is a profound one, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church;

rsv@Ephesians:6:5 @ Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ;

rsv@Ephesians:6:8 @ knowing that whatever good any one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.

rsv@Ephesians:6:9 @ Masters, do the same to them, and forbear threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.

rsv@Philippians:1:16 @ The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel;

rsv@Philippians:1:18 @ What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in that I rejoice.

rsv@Philippians:1:22 @ If it is to be life in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell.

rsv@Philippians:2:2 @ complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

rsv@Philippians:2:3 @ Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves.

rsv@Philippians:4:8 @ Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

rsv@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content.

rsv@Philippians:4:15 @ And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedo'nia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving except you only;

rsv@Colossians:1:7 @ as you learned it from Ep'aphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf

rsv@Colossians:1:16 @ for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities--all things were created through him and for him.

rsv@Colossians:1:23 @ provided that you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

rsv@Colossians:1:24 @ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church,

rsv@Colossians:1:25 @ of which I became a minister according to the divine office which was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,

rsv@Colossians:1:26 @ the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now made manifest to his saints.

rsv@Colossians:1:27 @ To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

rsv@Colossians:3:17 @ And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

rsv@Colossians:3:22 @ Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord.

rsv@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever your task, work heartily, as serving the Lord and not men,

rsv@Colossians:4:1 @ Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

rsv@Colossians:4:2 @ Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving;

rsv@Colossians:4:3 @ and pray for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison,

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please men, but to please God who tests our hearts.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For we never used either words of flattery, as you know, or a cloak for greed, as God is witness;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our behavior to you believers;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ for you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent that I might know your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and that our labor would be in vain.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, as we long to see you--

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we solemnly forewarned you.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ But concerning love of the brethren you have no need to have any one write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders,

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you,

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:17 @ I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. This is the mark in every letter of mine; it is the way I write.

rsv@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine,

rsv@1Timothy:1:4 @ nor to occupy themselves with myths and endless genealogies which promote speculations rather than the divine training that is in faith;

rsv@1Timothy:1:7 @ desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make assertions.

rsv@1Timothy:1:10 @ immoral persons, sodomites, kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,

rsv@1Timothy:1:11 @ in accordance with the glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.

rsv@1Timothy:1:13 @ though I formerly blasphemed and persecuted and insulted him; but I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,

rsv@1Timothy:1:16 @ but I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience for an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.

rsv@1Timothy:1:18 @ This charge I commit to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophetic utterances which pointed to you, that inspired by them you may wage the good warfare,

rsv@1Timothy:2:1 @ First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men,

rsv@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony to which was borne at the proper time.

rsv@1Timothy:2:7 @ For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

rsv@1Timothy:2:12 @ I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.

rsv@1Timothy:3:2 @ Now a bishop must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, dignified, hospitable, an apt teacher,

rsv@1Timothy:3:8 @ Deacons likewise must be serious, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for gain;

rsv@1Timothy:3:9 @ they must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.

rsv@1Timothy:3:10 @ And let them also be tested first; then if they prove themselves blameless let them serve as deacons.

rsv@1Timothy:3:11 @ The women likewise must be serious, no slanderers, but temperate, faithful in all things.

rsv@1Timothy:3:16 @ Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

rsv@1Timothy:4:1 @ Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

rsv@1Timothy:4:2 @ through the pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared,

rsv@1Timothy:4:3 @ who forbid marriage and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

rsv@1Timothy:4:4 @ For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving;

rsv@1Timothy:4:5 @ for then it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

rsv@1Timothy:4:6 @ If you put these instructions before the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

rsv@1Timothy:4:11 @ Command and teach these things.

rsv@1Timothy:4:13 @ Till I come, attend to the public reading of scripture, to preaching, to teaching.

rsv@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophetic utterance when the council of elders laid their hands upon you.

rsv@1Timothy:4:15 @ Practice these duties, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress.

rsv@1Timothy:4:16 @ Take heed to yourself and to your teaching; hold to that, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.

rsv@1Timothy:5:12 @ and so they incur condemnation for having violated their first pledge.

rsv@1Timothy:5:15 @ For some have already strayed after Satan.

rsv@1Timothy:5:17 @ Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching;

rsv@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, nor participate in another man's sins; keep yourself pure.

rsv@1Timothy:5:23 @ No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

rsv@1Timothy:5:24 @ The sins of some men are conspicuous, pointing to judgment, but the sins of others appear later.

rsv@1Timothy:6:1 @ Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed.

rsv@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brethren; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these duties.

rsv@1Timothy:6:3 @ If any one teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching which accords with godliness,

rsv@1Timothy:6:4 @ he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions,

rsv@1Timothy:6:6 @ There is great gain in godliness with contentment;

rsv@1Timothy:6:9 @ But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and hurtful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.

rsv@1Timothy:6:11 @ But as for you, man of God, shun all this; aim at righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.

rsv@1Timothy:6:12 @ Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

rsv@1Timothy:6:13 @ In the presence of God who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession,

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

rsv@1Timothy:6:20 @ O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the godless chatter and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge,

rsv@2Timothy:1:4 @ As I remember your tears, I long night and day to see you, that I may be filled with joy.

rsv@2Timothy:1:11 @ For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher,

rsv@2Timothy:1:12 @ and therefore I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.

rsv@2Timothy:1:13 @ Follow the pattern of the sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus;

rsv@2Timothy:1:14 @ guard the truth that has been entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.

rsv@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him,

rsv@Hebrews:2:4 @ while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his own will.

rsv@Hebrews:2:5 @ For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking.

rsv@Hebrews:2:6 @ It has been testified somewhere, "What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou carest for him?

rsv@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.

rsv@Hebrews:2:18 @ For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

rsv@Hebrews:3:2 @ He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in God's house.

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:3:5 @ Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,

rsv@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,

rsv@Hebrews:3:9 @ where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years.

rsv@Hebrews:3:11 @ As I swore in my wrath, `They shall never enter my rest.'"

rsv@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did he swear that they should never enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

rsv@Hebrews:3:19 @ So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.

rsv@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear lest any of you be judged to have failed to reach it.

rsv@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, `They shall never enter my rest,'" although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.

rsv@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works."

rsv@Hebrews:4:5 @ And again in this place he said, "They shall never enter my rest."

rsv@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience,

rsv@Hebrews:4:7 @ again he sets a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, "Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."

rsv@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not speak later of another day.

rsv@Hebrews:4:10 @ for whoever enters God's rest also ceases from his labors as God did from his.

rsv@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, that no one fall by the same sort of disobedience.

rsv@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

rsv@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

rsv@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

rsv@Hebrews:5:5 @ So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee";

rsv@Hebrews:5:6 @ as he says also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz'edek."

rsv@Hebrews:5:7 @ In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard for his godly fear.

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

rsv@Hebrews:5:10 @ being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchiz'edek.

rsv@Hebrews:5:12 @ For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need some one to teach you again the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food;

rsv@Hebrews:5:13 @ for every one who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a child.

rsv@Hebrews:6:2 @ with instruction about ablutions, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

rsv@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

rsv@Hebrews:6:5 @ and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,

rsv@Hebrews:6:6 @ if they then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt.

rsv@Hebrews:6:7 @ For land which has drunk the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God.

rsv@Hebrews:6:9 @ Though we speak thus, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things that belong to salvation.

rsv@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,

rsv@Hebrews:6:16 @ Men indeed swear by a greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.

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:6:19 @ We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner shrine behind the curtain,

rsv@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchiz'edek.

rsv@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this Melchiz'edek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him;

rsv@Hebrews:7:2 @ and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

rsv@Hebrews:7:7 @ It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior.

rsv@Hebrews:7:8 @ Here tithes are received by mortal men; there, by one of whom it is testified that he lives.

rsv@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levit'ical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchiz'edek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron?

rsv@Hebrews:7:17 @ For it is witnessed of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz'edek."

rsv@Hebrews:7:19 @ (for the law made nothing perfect); on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

rsv@Hebrews:7:22 @ This makes Jesus the surety of a better covenant.

rsv@Hebrews:7:23 @ The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office;

rsv@Hebrews:7:25 @ Consequently he is able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

rsv@Hebrews:7:26 @ For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

rsv@Hebrews:7:28 @ Indeed, the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect for ever.

rsv@Hebrews:8:1 @ Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

rsv@Hebrews:8:2 @ a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent which is set up not by man but by the Lord.

rsv@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.

rsv@Hebrews:8:5 @ They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary; for when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, "See that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain."

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:8:10 @ This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

rsv@Hebrews:8:11 @ And they shall not teach every one his fellow or every one his brother, saying, `Know the Lord,' for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest.

rsv@Hebrews:8:13 @ In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

rsv@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a tent was prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence; it is called the Holy Place.

rsv@Hebrews:9:3 @ Behind the second curtain stood a tent called the Holy of Holies,

rsv@Hebrews:9:6 @ These preparations having thus been made, the priests go continually into the outer tent, performing their ritual duties;

rsv@Hebrews:9:8 @ By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the sanctuary is not yet opened as long as the outer tent is still standing

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:9:12 @ he entered once for all into the Holy Place, taking not the blood of goats and calves but his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.

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:9:15 @ Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred which redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant.

rsv@Hebrews:9:19 @ For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

rsv@Hebrews:9:21 @ And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship.

rsv@Hebrews:9:23 @ Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

rsv@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ has entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

rsv@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Holy Place yearly with blood not his own;

rsv@Hebrews:9:26 @ for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

rsv@Hebrews:9:27 @ And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment,

rsv@Hebrews:10:1 @ For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near.

rsv@Hebrews:10:3 @ But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sin year after year.

rsv@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, `Lo, I have come to do thy will, O God,' as it is written of me in the roll of the book."

rsv@Hebrews:10:11 @ And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

rsv@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

rsv@Hebrews:10:15 @ And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,

rsv@Hebrews:10:16 @ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,"

rsv@Hebrews:10:19 @ Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

rsv@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

rsv@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

rsv@Hebrews:10:28 @ A man who has violated the law of Moses dies without mercy at the testimony of two or three witnesses.

rsv@Hebrews:10:32 @ But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings,

rsv@Hebrews:10:33 @ sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.

rsv@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.

rsv@Hebrews:10:38 @ but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."

rsv@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear.

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:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.

rsv@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, took heed and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; by this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith.

rsv@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.

rsv@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having received what was promised, but having seen it and greeted it from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

rsv@Hebrews:11:16 @ But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

rsv@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son,

rsv@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his burial.

rsv@Hebrews:11:24 @ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

rsv@Hebrews:11:26 @ He considered abuse suffered for the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked to the reward.

rsv@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as if on dry land; but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned.

rsv@Hebrews:11:30 @ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.

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:11:35 @ Women received their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, that they might rise again to a better life.

rsv@Hebrews:11:37 @ They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, ill-treated--

rsv@Hebrews:11:39 @ And all these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised,

rsv@Hebrews:11:40 @ since God had foreseen something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

rsv@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

rsv@Hebrews:12:3 @ Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

rsv@Hebrews:12:4 @ In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

rsv@Hebrews:12:5 @ And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons?-- "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage when you are punished by him.

rsv@Hebrews:12:8 @ If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

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:12:11 @ For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

rsv@Hebrews:12:15 @ See to it that no one fail to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" spring up and cause trouble, and by it the many become defiled;

rsv@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.

rsv@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire, and darkness, and gloom, and a tempest,

rsv@Hebrews:12:21 @ Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I tremble with fear."

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:12:28 @ Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe;

rsv@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

rsv@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body.

rsv@Hebrews:13:4 @ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and adulterous.

rsv@Hebrews:13:5 @ Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, "I will never fail you nor forsake you."

rsv@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God; consider the outcome of their life, and imitate their faith.

rsv@Hebrews:13:8 @ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.

rsv@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings; for it is well that the heart be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited their adherents.

rsv@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat.

rsv@Hebrews:13:12 @ So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.

rsv@Hebrews:13:20 @ Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,

rsv@Hebrews:13:22 @ I appeal to you, brethren, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

rsv@James:1:3 @ for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

rsv@James:1:4 @ And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

rsv@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him.

rsv@James:1:13 @ Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted with evil and he himself tempts no one;

rsv@James:1:14 @ but each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.

rsv@James:1:20 @ for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.

rsv@James:1:21 @ Therefore put away all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

rsv@James:2:3 @ and you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, "Have a seat here, please," while you say to the poor man, "Stand there," or, "Sit at my feet,"

rsv@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren. Has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

rsv@James:2:9 @ But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

rsv@James:2:11 @ For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," said also, "Do not kill." If you do not commit adultery but do kill, you have become a transgressor of the law.

rsv@James:2:15 @ If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food,

rsv@James:2:22 @ You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works,

rsv@James:2:23 @ and the scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness"; and he was called the friend of God.

rsv@James:3:1 @ Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach shall be judged with greater strictness.

rsv@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is an unrighteous world among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the cycle of nature, and set on fire by hell.

rsv@James:3:11 @ Does a spring pour forth from the same opening fresh water and brackish?

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:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.

rsv@James:3:18 @ And the harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

rsv@James:4:9 @ Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection.

rsv@James:4:15 @ Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and we shall do this or that."

rsv@James:5:2 @ Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten.

rsv@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days.

rsv@James:5:4 @ Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

rsv@James:5:5 @ You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

rsv@James:5:6 @ You have condemned, you have killed the righteous man; he does not resist you.

rsv@James:5:7 @ Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it until it receives the early and the late rain.

rsv@James:5:11 @ Behold, we call those happy who were steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.

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

rsv@James:5:16 @ Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects.

rsv@1Peter:1:1 @ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappado'cia, Asia, and Bithyn'ia,

rsv@1Peter:1:2 @ chosen and destined by God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

rsv@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

rsv@1Peter:1:4 @ and to an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,

rsv@1Peter:1:5 @ who by God's power are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

rsv@1Peter:1:6 @ In this you rejoice, though now for a little while you may have to suffer various trials,

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@1Peter:1:8 @ Without having seen him you love him; though you do not now see him you believe in him and rejoice with unutterable and exalted joy.

rsv@1Peter:1:9 @ As the outcome of your faith you obtain the salvation of your souls.

rsv@1Peter:1:10 @ The prophets who prophesied of the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired about this salvation;

rsv@1Peter:1:11 @ they inquired what person or time was indicated by the Spirit of Christ within them when predicting the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glory.

rsv@1Peter:1:12 @ It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things which have now been announced to you by those who preached the good news to you through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.

rsv@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore gird up your minds, be sober, set your hope fully upon the grace that is coming to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

rsv@1Peter:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance,

rsv@1Peter:1:15 @ but as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct;

rsv@1Peter:1:16 @ since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."

rsv@1Peter:1:17 @ And if you invoke as Father him who judges each one impartially according to his deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile.

rsv@1Peter:1:18 @ You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold,

rsv@1Peter:1:19 @ but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.

rsv@1Peter:1:20 @ He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of the times for your sake.

rsv@1Peter:1:21 @ Through him you have confidence in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

rsv@1Peter:1:22 @ Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart.

rsv@1Peter:1:23 @ You have been born anew, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;

rsv@1Peter:1:24 @ for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls,

rsv@1Peter:1:25 @ but the word of the Lord abides for ever." That word is the good news which was preached to you.

rsv@1Peter:2:1 @ So put away all malice and all guile and insincerity and envy and all slander.

rsv@1Peter:2:2 @ Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up to salvation;

rsv@1Peter:2:3 @ for you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.

rsv@1Peter:2:4 @ Come to him, to that living stone, rejected by men but in God's sight chosen and precious;

rsv@1Peter:2:5 @ and like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

rsv@1Peter:2:6 @ For it stands in scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and he who believes in him will not be put to shame."

rsv@1Peter:2:7 @ To you therefore who believe, he is precious, but for those who do not believe, "The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner,"

rsv@1Peter:2:8 @ and "A stone that will make men stumble, a rock that will make them fall"; for they stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

rsv@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

rsv@1Peter:2:10 @ Once you were no people but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy but now you have received mercy.

rsv@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh that wage war against your soul.

rsv@1Peter:2:12 @ Maintain good conduct among the Gentiles, so that in case they speak against you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.

rsv@1Peter:2:13 @ Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme,

rsv@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.

rsv@1Peter:2:15 @ For it is God's will that by doing right you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.

rsv@1Peter:2:16 @ Live as free men, yet without using your freedom as a pretext for evil; but live as servants of God.

rsv@1Peter:2:17 @ Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.

rsv@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to the kind and gentle but also to the overbearing.

rsv@1Peter:2:19 @ For one is approved if, mindful of God, he endures pain while suffering unjustly.

rsv@1Peter:2:20 @ For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you take it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you take it patiently, you have God's approval.

rsv@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

rsv@1Peter:2:22 @ He committed no sin; no guile was found on his lips.

rsv@1Peter:2:23 @ When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he trusted to him who judges justly.

rsv@1Peter:2:24 @ He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

rsv@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

rsv@1Peter:3:1 @ Likewise you wives, be submissive to your husbands, so that some, though they do not obey the word, may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,

rsv@1Peter:3:2 @ when they see your reverent and chaste behavior.

rsv@1Peter:3:3 @ Let not yours be the outward adorning with braiding of hair, decoration of gold, and wearing of fine clothing,

rsv@1Peter:3:4 @ but let it be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable jewel of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.

rsv@1Peter:3:5 @ So once the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves and were submissive to their husbands,

rsv@1Peter:3:6 @ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are now her children if you do right and let nothing terrify you.

rsv@1Peter:3:7 @ Likewise you husbands, live considerately with your wives, bestowing honor on the woman as the weaker sex, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.

rsv@1Peter:3:8 @ Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love of the brethren, a tender heart and a humble mind.

rsv@1Peter:3:9 @ Do not return evil for evil or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing.

rsv@1Peter:3:10 @ For "He that would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking guile;

rsv@1Peter:3:11 @ let him turn away from evil and do right; let him seek peace and pursue it.

rsv@1Peter:3:12 @ For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those that do evil."

rsv@1Peter:3:13 @ Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is right?

rsv@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if you do suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled,

rsv@1Peter:3:15 @ but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence;

rsv@1Peter:3:16 @ and keep your conscience clear, so that, when you are abused, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.

rsv@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better to suffer for doing right, if that should be God's will, than for doing wrong.

rsv@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit;

rsv@1Peter:3:19 @ in which he went and preached to the spirits in prison,

rsv@1Peter:3:20 @ who formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water.

rsv@1Peter:3:21 @ Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

rsv@1Peter:3:22 @ who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to him.

rsv@1Peter:4:1 @ Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same thought, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

rsv@1Peter:4:2 @ so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer by human passions but by the will of God.

rsv@1Peter:4:3 @ Let the time that is past suffice for doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in licentiousness, passions, drunkenness, revels, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

rsv@1Peter:4:4 @ They are surprised that you do not now join them in the same wild profligacy, and they abuse you;

rsv@1Peter:4:5 @ but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

rsv@1Peter:4:6 @ For this is why the gospel was preached even to the dead, that though judged in the flesh like men, they might live in the spirit like God.

rsv@1Peter:4:7 @ The end of all things is at hand; therefore keep sane and sober for your prayers.

rsv@1Peter:4:8 @ Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.

rsv@1Peter:4:9 @ Practice hospitality ungrudgingly to one another.

rsv@1Peter:4:10 @ As each has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:

rsv@1Peter:4:11 @ whoever speaks, as one who utters oracles of God; whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength which God supplies; in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to prove you, as though something strange were happening to you.

rsv@1Peter:4:13 @ But rejoice in so far as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.

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

rsv@1Peter:4:15 @ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a mischief-maker;

rsv@1Peter:4:16 @ yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.

rsv@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

rsv@1Peter:4:18 @ And "If the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the impious and sinner appear?"

rsv@1Peter:4:19 @ Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will do right and entrust their souls to a faithful Creator.

rsv@1Peter:5:1 @ So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ as well as a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed.

rsv@1Peter:5:2 @ Tend the flock of God that is your charge, not by constraint but willingly, not for shameful gain but eagerly,

rsv@1Peter:5:3 @ not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock.

rsv@1Peter:5:4 @ And when the chief Shepherd is manifested you will obtain the unfading crown of glory.

rsv@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise you that are younger be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

rsv@1Peter:5:6 @ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that in due time he may exalt you.

rsv@1Peter:5:7 @ Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares about you.

rsv@1Peter:5:8 @ Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour.

rsv@1Peter:5:9 @ Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experience of suffering is required of your brotherhood throughout the world.

rsv@1Peter:5:10 @ And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you.

rsv@1Peter:5:11 @ To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@1Peter:5:12 @ By Silva'nus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God; stand fast in it.

rsv@1Peter:5:13 @ She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings; and so does my son Mark.

rsv@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you that are in Christ.

rsv@2Peter:1:1 @ Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

rsv@2Peter:1:2 @ May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

rsv@2Peter:1:3 @ His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,

rsv@2Peter:1:4 @ by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature.

rsv@2Peter:1:5 @ For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,

rsv@2Peter:1:6 @ and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,

rsv@2Peter:1:7 @ and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.

rsv@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these things are yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

rsv@2Peter:1:9 @ For whoever lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

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:1:11 @ so there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

rsv@2Peter:1:12 @ Therefore I intend always to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.

rsv@2Peter:1:13 @ I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to arouse you by way of reminder,

rsv@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

rsv@2Peter:1:15 @ And I will see to it that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.

rsv@2Peter:1:16 @ For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

rsv@2Peter:1:17 @ For when he received honor and glory from God the Father and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,"

rsv@2Peter:1:18 @ we heard this voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.

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.

rsv@2Peter:1:20 @ First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,

rsv@2Peter:1:21 @ because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

rsv@2Peter:2:1 @ But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

rsv@2Peter:2:2 @ And many will follow their licentiousness, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled.

rsv@2Peter:2:3 @ And in their greed they will exploit you with false words; from of old their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction has not been asleep.

rsv@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of nether gloom to be kept until the judgment;

rsv@2Peter:2:5 @ if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven other persons, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;

rsv@2Peter:2:6 @ if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomor'rah to ashes he condemned them to extinction and made them an example to those who were to be ungodly;

rsv@2Peter:2:7 @ and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the licentiousness of the wicked

rsv@2Peter:2:8 @ (for by what that righteous man saw and heard as he lived among them, he was vexed in his righteous soul day after day with their lawless deeds),

rsv@2Peter:2:9 @ then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,

rsv@2Peter:2:10 @ and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and wilful, they are not afraid to revile the glorious ones,

rsv@2Peter:2:11 @ whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a reviling judgment upon them before the Lord.

rsv@2Peter:2:12 @ But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed, reviling in matters of which they are ignorant, will be destroyed in the same destruction with them,

rsv@2Peter:2:13 @ suffering wrong for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their dissipation, carousing with you.

rsv@2Peter:2:14 @ They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!

rsv@2Peter:2:15 @ Forsaking the right way they have gone astray; they have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Be'or, who loved gain from wrongdoing,

rsv@2Peter:2:16 @ but was rebuked for his own transgression; a dumb ass spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.

rsv@2Peter:2:17 @ These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm; for them the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved.

rsv@2Peter:2:18 @ For, uttering loud boasts of folly, they entice with licentious passions of the flesh men who have barely escaped from those who live in error.

rsv@2Peter:2:19 @ They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption; for whatever overcomes a man, to that he is enslaved.

rsv@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overpowered, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

rsv@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

rsv@2Peter:2:22 @ It has happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog turns back to his own vomit, and the sow is washed only to wallow in the mire.

rsv@2Peter:3:1 @ This is now the second letter that I have written to you, beloved, and in both of them I have aroused your sincere mind by way of reminder;

rsv@2Peter:3:2 @ that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles.

rsv@2Peter:3:3 @ First of all you must understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own passions

rsv@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things have continued as they were from the beginning of creation."

rsv@2Peter:3:5 @ They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water and by means of water,

rsv@2Peter:3:6 @ through which the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.

rsv@2Peter:3:7 @ But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

rsv@2Peter:3:8 @ But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

rsv@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

rsv@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.

rsv@2Peter:3:11 @ Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,

rsv@2Peter:3:12 @ waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire!

rsv@2Peter:3:13 @ But according to his promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

rsv@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, since you wait for these, be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.

rsv@2Peter:3:15 @ And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,

rsv@2Peter:3:16 @ speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures.

rsv@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability.

rsv@2Peter:3:18 @ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

rsv@1John:1:2 @ the life was made manifest, and we saw it, and testify to it, and proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was made manifest to us--

rsv@1John:1:4 @ And we are writing this that our joy may be complete.

rsv@1John:1:9 @ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

rsv@1John:2:1 @ My little children, I am writing this to you so that you may not sin; but if any one does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

rsv@1John:2:5 @ but whoever keeps his word, in him truly love for God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him:

rsv@1John:2:9 @ He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness still.

rsv@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

rsv@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father.

rsv@1John:2:14 @ I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

rsv@1John:2:20 @ But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all know.

rsv@1John:2:21 @ I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and know that no lie is of the truth.

rsv@1John:2:25 @ And this is what he has promised us, eternal life.

rsv@1John:2:26 @ I write this to you about those who would deceive you;

rsv@1John:2:27 @ but the anointing which you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that any one should teach you; as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie, just as it has taught you, abide in him.

rsv@1John:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that every one who does right is born of him.

rsv@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, as he is righteous.

rsv@1John:3:12 @ and not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous.

rsv@1John:3:13 @ Do not wonder, brethren, that the world hates you.

rsv@1John:3:15 @ Any one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

rsv@1John:3:20 @ whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

rsv@1John:3:22 @ and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

rsv@1John:4:1 @ Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

rsv@1John:4:4 @ Little children, you are of God, and have overcome them; for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

rsv@1John:4:5 @ They are of the world, therefore what they say is of the world, and the world listens to them.

rsv@1John:4:6 @ We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

rsv@1John:4:12 @ No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

rsv@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world.

rsv@1John:4:17 @ In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.

rsv@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love.

rsv@1John:4:20 @ If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

rsv@1John:5:4 @ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.

rsv@1John:5:6 @ This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood.

rsv@1John:5:8 @ There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree.

rsv@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has borne witness to his Son.

rsv@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne to his Son.

rsv@1John:5:11 @ And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

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

rsv@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him.

rsv@1John:5:20 @ And 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, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

rsv@2John:1:12 @ Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink, but I hope to come to see you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.

rsv@2John:1:13 @ The children of your elect sister greet you.

rsv@3John:1:3 @ For I greatly rejoiced when some of the brethren arrived and testified to the truth of your life, as indeed you do follow the truth.

rsv@3John:1:4 @ No greater joy can I have than this, to hear that my children follow the truth.

rsv@3John:1:6 @ who have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey as befits God's service.

rsv@3John:1:7 @ For they have set out for his sake and have accepted nothing from the heathen.

rsv@3John:1:9 @ I have written something to the church; but Diot'rephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge my authority.

rsv@3John:1:10 @ So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, prating against me with evil words. And not content with that, he refuses himself to welcome the brethren, and also stops those who want to welcome them and puts them out of the church.

rsv@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. He who does good is of God; he who does evil has not seen God.

rsv@3John:1:12 @ Deme'trius has testimony from every one, and from the truth itself; I testify to him too, and you know my testimony is true.

rsv@3John:1:13 @ I had much to write to you, but I would rather not write with pen and ink;

rsv@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, being very eager to write to you of our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

rsv@Jude:1:4 @ For admission has been secretly gained by some who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

rsv@Jude:1:5 @ Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

rsv@Jude:1:6 @ And the angels that did not keep their own position but left their proper dwelling have been kept by him in eternal chains in the nether gloom until the judgment of the great day;

rsv@Jude:1:7 @ just as Sodom and Gomor'rah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

rsv@Jude:1:9 @ But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, disputed about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."

rsv@Jude:1:10 @ But these men revile whatever they do not understand, and by those things that they know by instinct as irrational animals do, they are destroyed.

rsv@Jude:1:12 @ These are blemishes on your love feasts, as they boldly carouse together, looking after themselves; waterless clouds, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted;

rsv@Jude:1:15 @ to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness which they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."

rsv@Jude:1:16 @ These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own passions, loud-mouthed boasters, flattering people to gain advantage.

rsv@Jude:1:21 @ keep yourselves in the love of God; wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

rsv@Jude:1:23 @ save some, by snatching them out of the fire; on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

rsv@Revelation:15:1 @ Then I saw another portent in heaven, great and wonderful, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is ended.

rsv@Revelation:15:5 @ After this I looked, and the temple of the tent of witness in heaven was opened,

rsv@Revelation:15:6 @ and out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, robed in pure bright linen, and their breasts girded with golden girdles.

rsv@Revelation:15:8 @ and the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were ended.

rsv@Revelation:16:1 @ Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, "Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God."

rsv@Revelation:16:4 @ The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of water, and they became blood.

rsv@Revelation:16:5 @ And I heard the angel of water say, "Just art thou in these thy judgments, thou who art and wast, O Holy One.

rsv@Revelation:17:1 @ Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who is seated upon many waters,

rsv@Revelation:17:2 @ with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and with the wine of whose fornication the dwellers on earth have become drunk."

rsv@Revelation:17:3 @ And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns.

rsv@Revelation:17:5 @ and on her forehead was written a name of mystery: "Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of earth's abominations."

rsv@Revelation:17:7 @ But the angel said to me, "Why marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

rsv@Revelation:17:9 @ This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated;

rsv@Revelation:17:12 @ And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.

rsv@Revelation:17:15 @ And he said to me, "The waters that you saw, where the harlot is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

rsv@Revelation:17:16 @ And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire,

rsv@Revelation:18:2 @ And he called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every foul spirit, a haunt of every foul and hateful bird;

rsv@Revelation:18:3 @ for all nations have drunk the wine of her impure passion, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the wealth of her wantonness."

rsv@Revelation:18:9 @ And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and were wanton with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning;

rsv@Revelation:18:12 @ cargo of gold, silver, jewels and pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet, all kinds of scented wood, all articles of ivory, all articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble,

rsv@Revelation:18:17 @ In one hour all this wealth has been laid waste." And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off

rsv@Revelation:18:19 @ And they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and mourned, crying out, "Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! In one hour she has been laid waste.

rsv@Revelation:18:22 @ and the sound of harpers and minstrels, of flute players and trumpeters, shall be heard in thee no more; and a craftsman of any craft shall be found in thee no more; and the sound of the millstone shall be heard in thee no more;

rsv@Revelation:19:1 @ After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

rsv@Revelation:19:2 @ for his judgments are true and just; he has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

rsv@Revelation:19:4 @ And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!"

rsv@Revelation:19:6 @ Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderpeals, crying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

rsv@Revelation:19:9 @ And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are true words of God."

rsv@Revelation:19:10 @ Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God." For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

rsv@Revelation:19:11 @ Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

rsv@Revelation:19:14 @ And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, followed him on white horses.

rsv@Revelation:19:15 @ From his mouth issues a sharp sword with which to smite the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron; he will tread the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

rsv@Revelation:20:4 @ Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

rsv@Revelation:20:10 @ and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

rsv@Revelation:20:11 @ Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat upon it; from his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

rsv@Revelation:20:12 @ And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done.

rsv@Revelation:21:5 @ And he who sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true."

rsv@Revelation:21:6 @ And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the fountain of the water of life without payment.
