| Long for fellowship so both can grow by the faith of each other | Rom 1:11-12 KJV | For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. | 556 | 27984 |
| Witnessing, never be ashamed to witness | Rom 1:16 KJV | For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. | 160 | 27989 |
| Live by faith, God's righteousness is shown by stepping stones of faith | Rom 1:17 NASB | For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous man shall live by faith." | 206 | 27990 |
| God gives internal evidence of His existance and brings wrath against suppression of that truth. | Rom 1:18-19 NASB | For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is know about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. | 606 | 27991 |
| People can know God through the creation, but when they refuse it, they are without excuse | Rom 1:20 NASB | For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal powe and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. | 543 | 27993 |
| Consequence for unbelief is worshiping the creation instead of God who created it. | Rom 1:25 NASB | For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. | 504 | 27998 |
| Don't judge others or else they will see your bad deeds | Rom 2:1 KJV | Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherin thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. | 415 | 28006 |
| If you've never heard a law of conduct and sin, you just perish without judgment | Rom 2:12 KJV | For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; | 850 | 28017 |
| Depravity, we don't understand, we aren’t righteous, and we don't even seek for God | Rom 3:10-11 NASB | as it is written, "There is none righteous, not even one; There is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God;" | 479 | 28044 |
| All have sinned and come short of His standards | Rom 3:22-23 KJV | Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; | 988 | 28056 |
| God displayed Jesus' sacrifice publically for a demonstration and because of His forbearance. | Rom 3:25 NASB | Whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed. | 105 | 28059 |
| Jesus had to die to demonstrate that God is both just and the justifier | Rom 3:26 NASB | for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. | 544 | 28060 |
| Abraham believed even when it was unbelievable that he would become a father let alone a nation | Rom 4:18 NASB | In hope against hope he believed, in order that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "So shall your descendants be." | 723 | 28083 |
| Faith, Abraham's example | Rom 4:20-21 KJV | He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. | 661 | 28085 |
| Faith, we can obtain grace and peace. | Rom 5:1-2 KJV | Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. | 987 | 28091 |
| Be joyful in tribulations, knowing that it builds up several aspects of our character | Rom 5:3-4 KJV | And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: | 718 | 28093 |
| The Holy Spirit is given to show God's love and to give us hope | Rom 5:5 NASB | and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. | 203 | 28095 |
| Christ helped when we could do nothing because he died for the ungodly | Rom 5:6 NASB | For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. | 992 | 28096 |
| We don't very often see a man die for a righteous and good man | Rom 5:7 KJV | For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. | 192 | 28097 |
| Assurance of salvation, Christ died while we were still sinning | Rom 5:8 KJV | But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. | 456 | 28098 |
| If we have been justified by His blood, we certainly shall be saved | Rom 5:9 NASB | Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. | 344 | 28099 |
| If we can be saved and reconciled from being enemies with God, certainly there is assurance of salvation | Rom 5:10 NASB | For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. | 710 | 28100 |
| Adam released a monster (death) and it reigns, except for those who are Christians | Rom 5:17 NASB | For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. | 171 | 28107 |
| We shouldn't live in sin, how can we, we are dead to it | Rom 6:1-2 KJV | What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? | 581 | 28112 |
| If you are baptized, you are baptized into death. | Rom 6:3 KJV | Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? | 201 | 28114 |
| Buried with Christ allows us to live the new life. | Rom 6:4 KJV | Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. | 117 | 28115 |
| Union with Christ in Death results in Union with Him in resurrection, for certain. | Rom 6:5 NASB | For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection, | 132 | 28116 |
| Crucified with Christ. Serve sin no more. | Rom 6:6-7 KJV | Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. | 392 | 28117 |
| Death is no longer master over Jesus, and we died and rose with Him, therefore we are free | Rom 6:8-9 NASB | Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. | 251 | 28119 |
| Christ died and is now living, just like Him, we should live unto God. | Rom 6:10-11 KJV | For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. | 143 | 28121 |
| We sin by presenting our members to sin, we should present our members to God | Rom 6:12-13 NASB | Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body that you should obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteoursness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instrumemts of righteousness to God. | 246 | 28123 |
| We are under grace and shouldn't sin.. why? because sin is not master over us | Rom 6:14-15 NASB | For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! | 082 | 28125 |
| What ever we serve, that is the one to whom we are servants | Rom 6:16 KJV | Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? | 300 | 28127 |
| We bacame obedient, from the heart to God's doctrine of righteous, we were also committed to it | Rom 6:17-18 NASB | But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. | 190 | 28128 |
| We should be slaves to God for righteousness with the same zeal as we were sinners | Rom 6:19 NASB | I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness resulting in sanctification. | 040 | 28130 |
| We do not get any benefit from sin and the outcome is death | Rom 6:20-21 NASB | For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. | 188 | 28131 |
| The benefit of a close relationship with God is sanctification and the ultimate result is eternal life. | Rom 6:22 NASB | But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. | 498 | 28133 |
| The price for sin is death | Rom 6:23 KJV | For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. | 766 | 28134 |
| Married to Christ to bring forth spiritual children unto God. Dead to previous relationships like the Law. | Rom 7:4 KJV | Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. | 247 | 28138 |
| Sin was shown to us by the law, but the law itself is not sin | Rom 7:7 KJV | What shall we say them? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. | 348 | 28141 |
| The Law causes sin to become alive, and because of it, I died | Rom 7:9 NASB | And I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died; | 566 | 28143 |
| We must be corrupt since the wanting is in me, but not the doing | Rom 7:18 NASB | For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the wishing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. | 463 | 28152 |
| We aren't the ones doing wrong, it is sin living within us | Rom 7:19-20 KJV | For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. | 224 | 28153 |
| It is war raging between the flesh and our mind, the flesh is trying to make us prisoners of sin | Rom 7:22-23 NASB | For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind, and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. | 116 | 28156 |
| Living for Jesus, free from the law, no condemnation | Rom 8:1-2 KJV | There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. | 345 | 28160 |
| God did what the Law couldn't do, He condemned sin in the flesh | Rom 8:3 NASB | For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh. | 417 | 28162 |
| We fulfill the Law when we walk according to the Spirit and not according to the flesh | Rom 8:4 NASB | in order that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. | 731 | 28163 |
| Whatever we seek, that is what we care for | Rom 8:5 KJV | For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. | 785 | 28164 |
| Set your mind on the Spirit and live, but not on the flesh. | Rom 8:6 KJV | For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. | 392 | 28165 |
| The flesh can't please God or even think of following His law | Rom 8:7-8 NASB | because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so; and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. | 702 | 28166 |
| Christians have to receive the Holy Ghost at first or they aren't Christians | Rom 8:9 KJV | But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. | 550 | 28168 |
| The Spirit is alive even though our body is dead, that is, if we are Christians | Rom 8:10 NASB | And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. | 725 | 28169 |
| God's Spirit makes us alive just like the risen Christ | Rom 8:11 KJV | But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. | 270 | 28170 |
| We don't have to act the way the flesh demands | Rom 8:12 NASB | So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh -- | 440 | 28171 |
| Living in the flesh leads to death, but putting to death the deeds of the body leads to life | Rom 8:13 NASB | for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. | 287 | 28172 |
| Definition of "Sons of God" | Rom 8:14 KJV | For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. | 082 | 28173 |
| We have a Spirit making us cry out "Daddy!" not a spirit of slavery and fear | Rom 8:15 NASB | For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" | 654 | 28174 |
| We are heirs of God and fellow-heirs with Christ only when we suffer with Him | Rom 8:16-17 NASB | The Spirit Himself bears wittness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow-heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him. | 535 | 28175 |
| The hardship we have doesn't even compare to the future glory we can expect | Rom 8:18 KJV | For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. | 778 | 28177 |
| All of creation waits with anticipation for Christians to come to glory | Rom 8:19 NASB | For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. | 584 | 28178 |
| Now creation is doomed to be polluted but later it will be set free with Christians | Rom 8:20-21 NASB | For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. | 744 | 28179 |
| We groan and suffer waiting for adoption and redemption just like the entire creation. | Rom 8:22-23 NASB | For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. | 922 | 28181 |
| Saved by hope, unseen hope | Rom 8:24-25 KJV | For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. | 579 | 28183 |
| The Spirit helps us by praying and interceding for us | Rom 8:26 NASB | And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; | 148 | 28185 |
| When we pray, the Spirit intercedes according to God's will because the Spirit knows what it is | Rom 8:27 NASB | and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. | 866 | 28186 |
| All things work together because of God's purposes | Rom 8:28 KJV | And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. | 673 | 28187 |
| God's purpose for us is to be like Him | Rom 8:29 KJV | For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. | 255 | 28188 |
| He wanted us to be like Jesus so He called us, justified us, and glorified us | Rom 8:30 NASB | and whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. | 909 | 28189 |
| With God for us, we have all that we need | Rom 8:31 NASB | What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? | 040 | 28190 |
| His provision, Jesus died for us and now He will give us all | Rom 8:32 KJV | He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? | 009 | 28191 |
| Nobody can condemn us, Jesus died, God justified, and Jesus intercedes for us | Rom 8:33-34 NASB | Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. | 253 | 28192 |
| God said we would have tribulation, persecution, peril, etc, but they can't separate us from His love | Rom 8:35-36 NASB | Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, "For Thy sake we are being put to death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered." | 826 | 28194 |
| Through Christ we are more than conquerors during tough times | Rom 8:37 KJV | Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. | 666 | 28196 |
| Nothing can take away our salvation | Rom 8:38-39 KJV | For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. | 201 | 28197 |
| God was willing to endure those made for destruction to show us His glory. | Rom 9:22-23 NASB | What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? And He did so in order that He might make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, | 311 | 28220 |
| Confess in Him and believe the resurrection and you will be saved | Rom 10:9 KJV | That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. | 132 | 28240 |
| Salvation, there is no prejudice, all we have to do is ask | Rom 10:12-13 KJV | For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. | 585 | 28243 |
| In order for people to become a Christian, they need several things, but the essential is preaching | Rom 10:14 KJV | How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? | 304 | 28245 |
| It is good that people be sent to preach the gospel, how else can others hear | Rom 10:15 NASB | And how shall they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things!" | 063 | 28246 |
| The word, it has gone out to everyone | Rom 10:17-18 KJV | So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. | 049 | 28248 |
| Jews only fell to bring Gentiles to God, but they didn't fall completely away | Rom 11:11 KJV | I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. | 342 | 28263 |
| God's ways can't be understood; we can just sit in awe at His wisdom and knowledge | Rom 11:33 NASB | Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! | 506 | 28285 |
| Christ before flesh, sacrifice everything | Rom 12:1 KJV | I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. | 256 | 28289 |
| Separate from the world, to show what God wants | Rom 12:2 KJV | And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. | 997 | 28290 |
| God gives us our faith, think soundly, recognizing this and not be proud | Rom 12:3 NASB | For through the grace given to me I say to every man among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think, but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. | 428 | 28291 |
| Give honor and love devoutly to our brothers | Rom 12:9-10 NASB | Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; | 938 | 28297 |
| We are to be committed to prayer, persevering, always very diligent | Rom 12:11-12 NASB | not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, | 904 | 28299 |
| Overcome evil with good and treat enemies nicely | Rom 12:20-21 KJV | Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. | 067 | 28308 |
| Don't live in darkness but in light, for the night is gone, and the day has come | Rom 13:12 KJV | The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. | 304 | 28321 |
| Don't judge other people, God can make them stand | Rom 14:4 KJV | Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth of falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. | 619 | 28327 |
| We live and die to the Lord, so it makes no difference to die | Rom 14:7-8 KJV | For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. | 459 | 28330 |
| Jesus' whole purpose is to become Lord of those who are alive and the dead. | Rom 14:9 KJV | For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. | 717 | 28332 |
| Build up each other and seek for peaceful things. | Rom 14:19 NASB | So then let us pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another. | 373 | 28342 |
| Please our neighbors for their good, by bearing their weaknesses | Rom 15:1-2 NASB | Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to his edification. | 409 | 28347 |
| The Bible and perseverance gives us hope and encouragement, it was written for our instruction | Rom 15:4 NASB | For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. | 377 | 28350 |
| God gives us unity to glorify Himself, He also gives perseverance and encouragement | Rom 15:5-6 NASB | Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus; that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. | 808 | 28351 |
| We should never talk about anything unless we have experienced it and unless Jesus accomplished it | Rom 15:18 NASB | For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, | 111 | 28364 |
| Paul's desire was to disciple non-Christians, so that he wouldn't build on another's foundation | Rom 15:20 NASB | And thus I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build upon another man's foundation; | 151 | 28366 |
| God will crush Satan under our feet if we are obedient, wise in good and pure | Rom 16:19-20 NASB | For the report of you obedience has reached to all; therefore, I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good, and innocent in what is evil. And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. | 327 | 28398 |
| Get disputes settled, agree, and have the same mind with your brothers | 1Cor 1:10 NASB | Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree, and there be no divisions among you, but you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. | 910 | 28416 |
| We were sent to preach the cross, not to get hung up in baptism and fancy discourses | 1Cor 1:17 NASB | For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, that the cross of Christ should not be made void. | 313 | 28423 |
| The cross only has power to those of us who are saved. | 1Cor 1:18 KJV | For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. | 409 | 28424 |
| God in His wisdom saves people by faith, which is foolishness to man's wisdom. | 1Cor 1:21 NASB | For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. | 869 | 28427 |
| To some it is false religion, but it is actually the only true approach to God | 1Cor 1:23-24 KJV | But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. | 511 | 28429 |
| God is greater than man in wisdom and strength, much, much greater | 1Cor 1:25 KJV | Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. | 871 | 28431 |
| The weak and foolish things where chosen to show up the wise | 1Cor 1:27 KJV | But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; | 291 | 28433 |
| Don't be intellectual but only preach Christ crucified | 1Cor 2:1-2 KJV | And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. | 078 | 28438 |
| Our preaching shouldn't be in men's wisdom but by the Spirit's demonstration and power | 1Cor 2:4-5 NASB | And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. | 520 | 28441 |
| We should only speak of the hidden wisdom, God's wisdom in a mystery | 1Cor 2:7 NASB | but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God predestined before the ages to our glory; | 986 | 28444 |
| Heaven, nobody knows what it is like | 1Cor 2:9 KJV | But as it is written, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him". | 171 | 28446 |
| Great things, things hidden from superficial view, have been revealed to us by His Spirit | 1Cor 2:10 KJV | But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. | 825 | 28447 |
| Nobody knows God's thoughts except God's Spirit | 1Cor 2:11 NASB | For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. | 133 | 28448 |
| Assurance of Holy Spirit's Presence | 1Cor 2:12 KJV | Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God | 935 | 28449 |
| His Spirit is given to us so that we can know the things given to us | 1Cor 2:12 KJV | Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God | 125 | 28449 |
| We should talk about real wisdom with Christians and only speak in the Spirit | 1Cor 2:13 KJV | Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. | 363 | 28450 |
| No one can teach God or even knows His thoughts, but we have his mind | 1Cor 2:16 KJV | For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. | 370 | 28453 |
| God is the one bringing people to Himself; those who witness and follow up are just servants | 1Cor 3:5-6 NASB | What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. | 907 | 28458 |
| Working with people, we are nothing, God does it | 1Cor 3:7-8 KJV | So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. | 907 | 28460 |
| Paul planted and another builds, but each man should take heed how people build in their lives | 1Cor 3:10 KJV | According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. | 437 | 28463 |
| All of our work shall be shown in that day as to their type (self effort or fruit from God) | 1Cor 3:13 KJV | Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. | 024 | 28466 |
| if all the works we do are burned up at the end we will still be saved | 1Cor 3:14-15 NASB | If any man's work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire. | 909 | 28467 |
| His Spirit lives in us, we are his temple | 1Cor 3:16 KJV | Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? | 243 | 28469 |
| We need to be trustworthy stewards if we are to be stewards of God's mysteries | 1Cor 4:1-2 NASB | Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy. | 872 | 28477 |
| When Jesus comes he will reveal all hidden and secret things, therefore don't judge others | 1Cor 4:5 NASB | Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God. | 124 | 28481 |
| It is better to be wronged or defrauded than to take a Christian to court | 1Cor 6:7 NASB | Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? | 055 | 28517 |
| I can do anything but some things aren't good for me and put me in bondage. | 1Cor 6:12 KJV | All things are lowful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. | 841 | 28522 |
| Live with God in whatever you are called to, we have been purchased by Him | 1Cor 7:23-24 KJV | Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. | 682 | 28553 |
| Pleasing your wife means looking at the things of the world, and trying to please her | 1Cor 7:33 KJV | But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. | 306 | 28563 |
| Woe is me if I do not witness, but even if I do witness, I cannot glory in it | 1Cor 9:16 NASB | For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel. | 588 | 28599 |
| Preach the word, adding nothing to it, and do not expect any payment in return | 1Cor 9:18 KJV | What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. | 159 | 28601 |
| Paul made himself a servant to non-Christians in order to win them over to Christ | 1Cor 9:19 NASB | For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more. | 637 | 28602 |
| To save people we have to relate to them, be like them, so they feel comfortable | 1Cor 9:22 NASB | To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some. | 686 | 28605 |
| We need to live like the runner runs a race… to win. | 1Cor 9:24 NASB | Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. | 920 | 28607 |
| Keep your body in control or else you will fall | 1Cor 9:27 KJV | But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. | 587 | 28610 |
| His help in temptation, He always provides an escape route | 1Cor 10:13 KJV | There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. | 761 | 28623 |
| We should please all people and offend no one so that they all could be saved | 1Cor 10:32-33 NASB | Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God; just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved. | 309 | 28642 |
| Factions and heresies have their good points, they show to all those whom God has give His authority | 1Cor 11:19 NASB | For there must also be factions among you, in order that those who are approved may have become evident among you. | 856 | 28662 |
| Taking communion shows Christ's death until the end of the world | 1Cor 11:26 NASB | For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes. | 504 | 28669 |
| We are sick and weak because we eat judgment at communion | 1Cor 11:29-30 NASB | For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he does not judge the body rightly, for this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep | 642 | 28672 |
| God is the one doing everything, so there is a variety of effects, ministries and gifts | 1Cor 12:4-6 NASB | Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the the same Lord. And there are varieties of effects but the same God who works all things in all persons. | 680 | 28681 |
| If one Christian has problems we all feel it | 1Cor 12:26 KJV | And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. | 977 | 28703 |
| If I speak man's or God's words without love I am just rattling people ear drums | 1Cor 13:1 NASB | If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. | 996 | 28709 |
| Without love even knowledge, faith, and everything becomes nothing. | 1Cor 13:2 NASB | And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to removemountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. | 531 | 28710 |
| Charity, and religious persecutions profit us nothing without love | 1Cor 13:3 KJV | And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. | 507 | 28711 |
| Love doesn't compare or boast, its isn't puffed up, but is gentle, patient and kind | 1Cor 13:4 NASB | Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant. | 873 | 28712 |
| Love isn't selfish, seeking revenge, not hot tempered, and it doesn't act silly | 1Cor 13:5 NASB | does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, | 964 | 28713 |
| Love rejoices in truth, not in unrighteousness | 1Cor 13:6 NASB | does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; | 927 | 28714 |
| Love is tollerant, hopeful and believing | 1Cor 13:7 NASB | bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. | 495 | 28715 |
| The other gifts fade away, but love doesn't | 1Cor 13:8 NASB | Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. | 076 | 28716 |
| When Christ comes all partial knowledge and works will be done away | 1Cor 13:9-10 NASB | For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. | 134 | 28717 |
| When Jesus comes we will no longer do childish things, but we will be men | 1Cor 13:11 KJV | When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. | 074 | 28719 |
| We are still blinded to certain things but when he comes we will know all. | 1Cor 13:12 KJV | For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. | 341 | 28720 |
| Love is the best, even better than hope and faith | 1Cor 13:13 KJV | And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. | 643 | 28721 |
| Paul's definition of prophesy, includes wittnessing, reproving and lifting up others | 1Cor 14:3 NASB | But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation, and consolation. | 167 | 28724 |
| Goal of witnessing is worship for God; prophesy causes conviction and disclosure which leads to this | 1Cor 14:24-25 NASB | But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to acocunt by all; the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you. | 398 | 28745 |
| Our sins are forgiven only if Christ is alive today | 1Cor 15:16-17 KJV | For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; [and] ye are yet in your sins. | 682 | 28777 |
| Quit sinning and be used by God to spread the good news | 1Cor 15:34 KJV | Awake to righteourness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. | 918 | 28795 |
| At the second coming real victory over death will come | 1Cor 15:54 KJV | So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory". | 529 | 28815 |
| The hard part of sin is death but Jesus gives us the victory, thanks to the Lord | 1Cor 15:56-57 NASB | The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. | 970 | 28817 |
| Be steadfast, working for God is not in vain. | 1Cor 15:58 KJV | Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. | 047 | 28819 |
| The reason we suffer is so God can comfort us thus enabling us to comfort others | 2Cor 1:4 NASB | 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. | 872 | 28847 |
| We have abundant comfort with our many sufferings, these are really Christ's sufferings | 2Cor 1:5 NASB | For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. | 801 | 28848 |
| In Asia Paul was put under trials that brought him to the limit and he despaired of life | 2Cor 1:8 NASB | For we do not want you to be unaware brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life. | 486 | 28851 |
| God puts us through death situations for us to trust Hime, and set our hope on God | 2Cor 1:9-10 NASB | indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves in order that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And he will yet deliver us. | 514 | 28852 |
| We should live holy and sincere lives not in the flesh but by grace; live in the world, to belivers | 2Cor 1:12 NASB | For our proud confidence is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you. | 602 | 28855 |
| God gets His knowledge know by His people, and He always bring good to them | 2Cor 2:14 KJV | Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. | 230 | 28881 |
| Among the world and among Christians Paul was a fragrance of Christ. | 2Cor 2:15 NASB | For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. | 196 | 28882 |
| Our witnessing should be sincere from God, in Christ, not like other groups for profit | 2Cor 2:17 NASB | For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God. | 273 | 28884 |
| Have confidence that the things that you do are from God not from ourselves | 2Cor 3:4-5 NASB | And such confidence we have through Christ toward God, Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God. | 088 | 28888 |
| Growing in Christ, we are gradually changed by the Spirit | 2Cor 3:18 KJV | But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. | 679 | 28902 |
| Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers. | 2Cor 4:3-4 KJV | But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. | 288 | 28905 |
| Serve others, serve in Christ's name. | 2Cor 4:5 KJV | For we preach not ourselves; but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. | 871 | 28907 |
| It's God who shines from us to declare His glory through Jesus' image | 2Cor 4:6 NASB | For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. | 644 | 28908 |
| God's power, and nothing from ourselves, that is why the Spirit was given to us | 2Cor 4:7 NASB | But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves; | 522 | 28909 |
| Our attitude in times of affliction should be hope, for we are not alone | 2Cor 4:8-9 KJV | We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; | 777 | 28910 |
| To have Jesus' life manifested in our body, we need to continually take on His death | 2Cor 4:10 NASB | always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. | 999 | 28912 |
| We will always be dead so that we can live in Jesus | 2Cor 4:11 KJV | For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. | 071 | 28913 |
| Life comes to our friends when death comes to us | 2Cor 4:12 KJV | So then death worketh in us, but life in you. | 763 | 28914 |
| We can be raised with Jesus by faith, like the Psalmist, after much tribulation | 2Cor 4:13-14 NASB | But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed, therfore I spoke," we also believe, therefore also we speak; knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you, | 071 | 28915 |
| Our body is decaying but we are being renewed inside, therefore do not lose heart | 2Cor 4:16 NASB | Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. | 135 | 28918 |
| Invisible, eternal, glorious benefits are generated from short, visible, small aflictions, and problems | 2Cor 4:17-18 NASB | For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. | 111 | 28919 |
| When we have our new bodies, we will be swallowed up in life, for now, for a time, we groan | 2Cor 5:4 NASB | For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed, but to be clothed, in order that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. | 687 | 28924 |
| Living by Faith | 2Cor 5:7 NASB | for we walk by faith, not by sight | 148 | 28927 |
| We should only want to be pleasing to Him at all times | 2Cor 5:9 NASB | Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. | 539 | 28929 |
| All people will stand and defend their deeds before Christ | 2Cor 5:10 KJV | For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. | 473 | 28930 |
| One died for all, therefore we are all dead | 2Cor 5:14 KJV | For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: | 437 | 28934 |
| He did die so that we could live to him from now on | 2Cor 5:15 KJV | And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. | 232 | 28935 |
| Christ the center, He changes our lives | 2Cor 5:17 KJV | Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. | 809 | 28937 |
| Reconciliation is our ministry and we are reconciled to Him by Jesus | 2Cor 5:18 KJV | And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. | 633 | 28938 |
| God was in Jesus, and redeemed the world, and gave us His word | 2Cor 5:19 KJV | Which is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. | 955 | 28939 |
| We witness to people and convince them in the place of Christ. | 2Cor 5:20 KJV | Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. | 899 | 28940 |
| Christ made us into God's righteousness by becoming sin for us | 2Cor 5:21 KJV | For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. | 696 | 28941 |
| Rejoice when sorroful, make others rich when we are poor | 2Cor 6:10 NASB | As sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things. | 278 | 28951 |
| How can light and darkness live together, especially in marriage | 2Cor 6:14 KJV | Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hat light with darkness? | 723 | 28955 |
| We need to live in the world, not be a part of it, be clean and separate | 2Cor 6:17 NASB | Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate," says the Lord. "And do not touch what is unclean; and I will welcome you." | 509 | 28958 |
| Live in holiness, in the fear of the Lord and remove every bad thing from the flesh and spirit. | 2Cor 7:1 NASB | Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. | 636 | 28960 |
| Men gave themselves to their spiritual father for training | 2Cor 8:5 KJV | And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God. | 043 | 28980 |
| Jesus' sacrifice, he became poor for us | 2Cor 8:9 KJV | For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. | 908 | 28984 |
| We should live honorably not only in the sight of God but also in the sight of men | 2Cor 8:21 NASB | For we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. | 361 | 28996 |
| Give generously, God likes those who give happily | 2Cor 9:6-7 KJV | But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. | 338 | 29005 |
| When we give, God supplies our needs plus extra to give and help others | 2Cor 9:8 NASB | And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; | 791 | 29007 |
| God will supply seed and food and will multiply them and increase our harvest | 2Cor 9:10 NASB | Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; | 232 | 29009 |
| We can destroy fortresses with the Spirit's powerful weapons, not if we use the flesh | 2Cor 10:3-4 NASB | For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. | 907 | 29017 |
| Every thought should be brought under Christ's control. | 2Cor 10:5 NASB | We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. | 402 | 29019 |
| Don't measure yourself to others but only to God's standards for us | 2Cor 10:13 KJV | But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you. | 424 | 29027 |
| As our fruit grows, our sphere is enlarged therefore we shouldn't boast in other's labors | 2Cor 10:15 NASB | not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we shall be, within our sphere, enlarged even more by you. | 296 | 29029 |
| Be careful lest Satan take you away from Christ's simplicity | 2Cor 11:3 KJV | But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. | 165 | 29035 |
| Christ's power is heightened in our weaknesses | 2Cor 12:9 KJV | And he said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. | 648 | 29074 |
| Be content with our problems and weakness for when I am weak I am strong | 2Cor 12:10 NASB | Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. | 498 | 29075 |
| Love and spend yourself even though you get nothing in return. | 2Cor 12:15 KJV | And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. | 992 | 29080 |
| Who are we working for God or men? | Gal 1:10 KJV | For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. | 408 | 29109 |
| We didn't get the gospel from men but it was revealed by Christ | Gal 1:11-12 KJV | But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after men. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. | 274 | 29110 |
| No one can be justified by the works of the Law, only through faith in Jesus | Gal 2:16 NASB | nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified. | 699 | 29139 |
| If we are found sinners, it is not Christ's fault but ours | Gal 2:17-18 KJV | But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. | 522 | 29140 |
| Live to God because in the Law we are dead | Gal 2:19 KJV | For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. | 476 | 29142 |
| Christ the center, live by faith | Gal 2:20 KJV | I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. | 824 | 29143 |
| Not by works, otherwise Christ died for not | Gal 2:21 KJV | I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. | 580 | 29144 |
| When we really know about Christ what happens to us that we fall | Gal 3:1 KJV | O foolish Galations, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? | 265 | 29145 |
| We are saved by faith, we must be sanctified by faith as well | Gal 3:2-3 KJV | This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? | 818 | 29146 |
| We are sons of Abraham if we are of faith, believing God, obtaining righteousness | Gal 3:6-7 NASB | Even so Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith that are sons of Abraham. | 158 | 29150 |
| Christ was a curse for us to free us | Gal 3:13 KJV | Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: | 554 | 29157 |
| We are heirs of God; no longer servants by sons | Gal 4:6-7 KJV | And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. | 285 | 29179 |
| Don't turn again to sin, where you will find slavery | Gal 4:9 KJV | But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? | 071 | 29182 |
| Paul had birth pains until his converts were Christ-like | Gal 4:19 KJV | My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, | 564 | 29192 |
| Since Jesus set us free we should live free and not be enslaved to anything. | Gal 5:1 NASB | It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. | 269 | 29205 |
| Faith as it works through love is far more meaningful that the law | Gal 5:6 KJV | For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. | 959 | 29210 |
| Called to freedom, don't use it for a while, but always | Gal 5:13 KJV | For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. | 801 | 29217 |
| If we live according to the Spirit we won't do the desires of our old nature | Gal 5:16 NASB | But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. | 692 | 29220 |
| We can't do the things we want because the flesh and spirit oppose and are set against one another. | Gal 5:17 NASB | For the flesh sets it desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. | 446 | 29221 |
| Fruit of the Spirit, takes away the law | Gal 5:22-23 KJV | But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. | 574 | 29226 |
| Spiritual people exhort brothers who are in sin with care, so that you yourself do not fall as well | Gal 6:1 NAS | Brethren, even if a man is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself, lest you too be tempted. | 296 | 29231 |
| Serve one another in their burden's and fulfill the law | Gal 6:2 KJV | Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. | 531 | 29232 |
| Be humble and not deceived, then we will be happy in ourselves | Gal 6:3-4 KJV | For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. | 056 | 29233 |
| We should share every thing with our teachers | Gal 6:5-6 NASB | For each one shall bear his own load. And let the one who is taught the word share all good things with him whoteaches. | 190 | 29235 |
| Christ before flesh, what we do is what we get | Gal 6:7 KJV | Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. | 038 | 29237 |
| Christ before flesh, sow to the Spirit | Gal 6:8 KJV | For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. | 311 | 29238 |
| Good Works, We need to do them to all people and especially to brothers | Gal 6:9-10 KJV | And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. | 042 | 29239 |
| We shouldn't glory in anything except the cross, and be dead to the world | Gal 6:14 KJV | But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. | 438 | 29244 |
| Peace and mercy are yours by remembering and living as a new creation and not by the law | Gal 6:15-16 NASB | For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. | 730 | 29245 |
| Jesus does something within and no man can trouble us | Gal 6:17 KJV | From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. | 428 | 29247 |
| We need Jesus' gracious help in our innermost being | Gal 6:18 NASB | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen. | 701 | 29248 |
| God gave us everything, all blessing in Christ, Praise Him | Eph 1:3 NASB | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ | 323 | 29251 |
| We were chosen to be holy and blameless before the world began | Eph 1:4 NASB | just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love | 940 | 29252 |
| God is the one that called us to be His adopted sons | Eph 1:5 NASB | [In love] He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, | 051 | 29253 |
| God's election of the beloved is meant to bring praise to His glory | Eph 1:6 NASB | to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the beloved. | 779 | 29254 |
| In His wisdom He lavished grace upon us through redemption in His blood | Eph 1:7-8 NASB | In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which He lavished upon us. In all wisdom and insight | 390 | 29255 |
| God is kind and let us know the mystery of His will, in Christ | Eph 1:9 NASB | He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him | 951 | 29257 |
| Everything centers around Jesus, things physical and things spiritual. | Eph 1:10 NASB | with a view to an administration suitable to the fulness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things upon the earth. In Him | 380 | 29258 |
| All things work for good according to God's will and purpose | Eph 1:11 KJV | In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: | 748 | 29259 |
| We trusted in Christ first, therefore, we should be a glory to Him | Eph 1:12 KJV | That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. | 815 | 29260 |
| After we believe we are filled with God's Spirit. | Eph 1:13 KJV | In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, | 146 | 29261 |
| The Spirit is our guarantee of salvation until it comes | Eph 1:14 KJV | Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. | 824 | 29262 |
| When we hear of people's faith and love we should be thankful and pray for them. | Eph 1:15-16 NASB | For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you, and your love for all the saints, do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers. | 952 | 29263 |
| Paul's prayer included a request that the Ephesians would understand the Word and God Himself | Eph 1:17 KJV | That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: | 437 | 29265 |
| Three things we need to know about our relationship with Jesus, for this we need sight | Eph 1:18-19 NASB | I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. | 230 | 29266 |
| God caused Christ's strength to work for us when He raised Him and seated Him at His right hand | Eph 1:19-20 NASB | These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places. | 315 | 29267 |
| Jesus reigns above all physical and spiritual powers in the present day and for all time. | Eph 1:21 NASB | far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come. | 433 | 29269 |
| God made Jesus head of the church and put everything under him. We are His fulness. | Eph 1:22-23 NASB | And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fulness of Him who fills all in all. | 545 | 29270 |
| God made us alive who were dead | Eph 2:1 KJV | And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; | 023 | 29272 |
| The same thing that controls wrathful people used to control us as well | Eph 2:2 KJV | Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: | 407 | 29273 |
| We all used to live under the wrath of our lifestyles which were the lusts and desires of our mind and body | Eph 2:3 NASB | Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. | 417 | 29274 |
| God made us alive when we were sinners showing His love for us | Eph 2:4-5 KJV | But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love where-with he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) | 628 | 29275 |
| Salvation not by works, it is a gift. | Eph 2:8-9 KJV | For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. | 315 | 29279 |
| Walking in good works is what God ordained us to, created in Jesus Christ. | Eph 2:10 KJV | For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. | 087 | 29281 |
| In the old days we were in the world without God and had no hope, separated from the promises | Eph 2:12 NASB | remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. | 451 | 29283 |
| We are near to God and assured of it by the blood of Christ | Eph 2:13 NASB | But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. | 480 | 29284 |
| Jesus made God and I to be one, and broke down the wall between us | Eph 2:14 KJV | For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; | 860 | 29285 |
| Humility toward the church, we all came in the same way, and we all have access by the same Spirit | Eph 2:17-18 NASB | And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. | 616 | 29288 |
| All Christians grow and fit together into one structure | Eph 2:21 KJV | In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: | 636 | 29292 |
| We are going to be a dwelling place for God Himself, in our Spirit | Eph 2:22 NASB | in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit. | 887 | 29293 |
| Paul made a steward of God's grace for us. | Eph 3:1-2 NASB | For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles - if indeed you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace which was given to me for you. | 689 | 29294 |
| Reflecting on Paul's understanding of the mystery will explain other aspects as we read. | Eph 3:3-4 NASB | that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief. And by referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, | 865 | 29296 |
| The mystery that Gentiles are included was not seen by people before, but was revealed by the Spirit. | Eph 3:5-6 NASB | which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel, | 138 | 29298 |
| Paul's humility, he was given a great ministry and yet he still considered himself least of all | Eph 3:7-8 KJV | Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; | 460 | 29300 |
| We want men to see the mystery revealed by Christ | Eph 3:9 KJV | And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: | 977 | 29302 |
| We show God's wisdom to Satan when we witness and bring to light the stewardship of the mystery | Eph 3:10 NASB | in order that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in heavenly places. | 526 | 29303 |
| We are made rich and strong by having His Spirit in us | Eph 3:16 KJV | That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; | 624 | 29309 |
| Like all the rest of the Christians, we should know love completely. | Eph 3:17-18 KJV | That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth and height; | 528 | 29310 |
| To know Christ's love which is greater than all and to be filled with God | Eph 3:19 KJV | And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. | 532 | 29312 |
| God is able to do far more abundantly than we think | Eph 3:20 KJV | Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh is us, | 042 | 29313 |
| Walk worthy of the jobs we have when we are called to the Lord | Eph 4:1 KJV | I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, | 802 | 29315 |
| Live up to your calling by showing love, unity, peace, humility, and patience | Eph 4:2-3 NASB | with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing forbearance to one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. | 983 | 29316 |
| Dwelling in us is God, the only God, just like there is only one baptism, one faith, hope and body | Eph 4:4-6 NASB | There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. | 961 | 29318 |
| The body works until all are mature, and have grown to their full potential in Christ | Eph 4:13 NASB | until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. | 387 | 29327 |
| Be stable, not carried and thrown about like waves on the many winds of doctrine. | Eph 4:14 NASB | As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; | 020 | 29328 |
| Grow up into Christ in all areas, especially by saying the right things | Eph 4:15 NASB | but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ, | 479 | 29329 |
| All joints and parts of the body work properly, and build up the body, making it grow | Eph 4:16 NASB | from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love. | 937 | 29330 |
| We need to be transformed in the spirit of our mind, and not walk like used to | Eph 4:22-23 NASB | that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind | 293 | 29336 |
| Speak only grace, only those things that are good for edifying your hearers | Eph 4:29 KJV | Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. | 720 | 29343 |
| God has sealed us with his Spirit to the end, and don't make Him sad | Eph 4:30 KJV | And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. | 514 | 29344 |
| Attitude, God's example, forgiving | Eph 4:31-32 KJV | Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted , forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. | 461 | 29345 |
| Love, give up your own desires, sacrifice yourself like Jesus did for us | Eph 5:1-2 KJV | Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. | 132 | 29347 |
| Purity, let nothing bad be said about you | Eph 5:3 KJV | But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you as becometh saints; | 906 | 29349 |
| Flee filthiness and bad speaking, but rather give thanks to God | Eph 5:4 KJV | Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. | 768 | 29350 |
| Being in Christ means that we are light, we should live like it | Eph 5:7-8 NASB | Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light | 659 | 29353 |
| Christ is the one shining through us to expose sin and make other's lives visible | Eph 5:13-14 NASB | But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. For this reason it says, "Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." | 605 | 29359 |
| Use your time wisely and live carefully | Eph 5:15-16 KJV | See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. | 128 | 29361 |
| Know what God wants and don't be drunk but be filled with the Spirit | Eph 5:17-18 KJV | Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; | 141 | 29363 |
| Submit yourselves to each other, and be thankful | Eph 5:20-21 NASB | always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. | 076 | 29366 |
| Men's role in marriage is like Christ's role in the church | Eph 5:25-26 KJV | Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, | 009 | 29371 |
| Husbands should work for their wives to make them perfect, holy and blameless | Eph 5:27 NASB | that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless. | 881 | 29373 |
| Love wives like we love our own bodies | Eph 5:28-29 KJV | So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: | 769 | 29374 |
| Bring up children in the nourishment and correction of the Lord | Eph 6:4 KJV | And, ye father, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. | 267 | 29383 |
| Give your all to our fleshly masters like serving Christ, wholely. | Eph 6:5 NASB | Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ; | 935 | 29384 |
| God's will is that we work heartily not just to be seen but as slaves of Christ. | Eph 6:6 NASB | not by way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. | 610 | 29385 |
| We need His armor and strength to withstand Satan's devices. | Eph 6:10-11 NASB | Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. | 918 | 29389 |
| We aren't going against bad me but against terrible evil forces. | Eph 6:12 KJV | For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. | 704 | 29391 |
| Take up all of God's defences | Eph 6:13 KJV | Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. | 658 | 29392 |
| Put the truth in your heart and apply it, resulting in righteousness. Prepare for wittnessing and stand firm. | Eph 6:14-15 NASB | Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace. | 062 | 29393 |
| the last pieces of armor: faith, salvation and the word of God... Put them on. | Eph 6:16-17 NASB | in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming missiles of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. | 266 | 29395 |
| Pray with perseverance, petition and alertness after you've put on the armor. | Eph 6:18 NASB | With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints. | 728 | 29397 |
| we need to pray and get people praying for us to be bold in our declaring the gospel | Eph 6:19 NASB | and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, | 727 | 29398 |
| God will continue working in us until the end of the world. | Phil 1:6 KJV | Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ; | 676 | 29409 |
| Paul knew these people were saved because he loved them and he knew their actions | Phil 1:7 NASB | For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are partakers of grace with me. | 712 | 29410 |
| Paul longed for the Philippians with the actual love Jesus had | Phil 1:8 NASB | For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. | 883 | 29411 |
| Agape love needs to increase in knowledge so that we can be real, and live beyond reproach | Phil 1:9-10 NASB | And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; | 015 | 29412 |
| Problems, sufferings, imprisonments all workout for the furtherance of the gospel | Phil 1:12-13 NASB | Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel, so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else. | 932 | 29415 |
| We need to be happy that the gospel is getting out no matter what the reason | Phil 1:18 NASB | What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice, yes, and I will rejoice | 366 | 29421 |
| Christ the Center - He is honored by life or death | Phil 1:20-21 RSV | it is my eager expectation and hope that I shall not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. | 802 | 29423 |
| Going to heaven with Christ is good, but staying here is also important to the growth of the kingdom | Phil 1:23-24 NASB | But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better; yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake. | 551 | 29426 |
| Stand firm, in one mind, working together with our brothers for the faith of the gospel | Phil 1:27 NASB | Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ; so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; | 647 | 29430 |
| Satan should not surprise us for thus we prove his distruction. | Phil 1:28 NASB | in no way alarmed by your opponents - which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God. | 622 | 29431 |
| Given the chance to suffer as well as to believe. | Phil 1:29-30 NASB | For to you it has been granted for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me. | 060 | 29432 |
| We should be intent on concentrating on the things of Christ: love, unity, purpose | Phil 2:1-2 NASB | If therefore there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. | 375 | 29434 |
| Humility, we should look at everybody else first and ourselves as second | Phil 2:3-4 KJV | Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. | 683 | 29436 |
| Jesus' Divinity was something He didn't care to hold on to. | Phil 2:5-6 NASB | Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped. | 236 | 29438 |
| Jesus was God taking on the person of a servant and a man. | Phil 2:7 KJV | But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: | 997 | 29440 |
| Christ obedience unto death even man's death - what humility | Phil 2:8 KJV | And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. | 408 | 29441 |
| Jesus was exalted, after he humbled Himself, to a position higher that any other positon | Phil 2:9-10 NASB | Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth. | 883 | 29442 |
| God does His will and pleasure while working in us | Phil 2:13 KJV | For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. | 205 | 29446 |
| Be Perfect, even while in a bad world | Phil 2:14-15 KJV | Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. | 956 | 29447 |
| Word. To rejoice having worked for good. | Phil 2:16 KJV | Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain. | 651 | 29449 |
| Rejoice and share joy always even when we are being used up and poured out. | Phil 2:17 NASB | But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all. | 930 | 29450 |
| Christ is concerned for people and their growth, we should be too, like Timothy | Phil 2:20-21 NASB | For I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare. For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. | 210 | 29453 |
| Timothy was refined by tribulations, which gave him proven character. He serve heartly like a son | Phil 2:22 NASB | But you know of his proven worth that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father. | 355 | 29455 |
| Don't put confidence in the flesh just be happy in Christ | Phil 3:3 KJV | For we are the circumsion, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh. | 019 | 29466 |
| Give up all for Christ. Count them as trash to win Him. | Phil 3:8 KJV | Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. | 622 | 29471 |
| Righteousness (the true kind) is by faith, not by anything of our own doing. | Phil 3:9 KJV | And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: | 555 | 29472 |
| Know Christ even to the point of suffering and dying. | Phil 3:10 KJV | That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; | 735 | 29473 |
| Paul wanted to reach the way of life typified in the resurrection. | Phil 3:11 NASB | in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. | 715 | 29474 |
| Follow Christ to grasp the things he called us to grasp. | Phil 3:12 KJV | Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. | 718 | 29475 |
| Haven't yet made it but I'm willing to forget whats behind. | Phil 3:13 KJV | Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before, | 404 | 29476 |
| Strive for the gifts God gives us in Jesus. | Phil 3:14 KJV | I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. | 415 | 29477 |
| Walk and live by the things we have already attained to | Phil 3:16 KJV | Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. | 208 | 29479 |
| We should be following people who live like Paul and who walk according to his pattern. | Phil 3:17 NASB | Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. | 869 | 29480 |
| God subjected all things to Jesus, even us, so we can become like Him, by His power | Phil 3:21 NASB | who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself. | 441 | 29484 |
| Paul exhorted the Philippians to stand firm, for they were his crown and he longed for them | Phil 4:1 NASB | Therefore, my beloved brethren whom I long to see, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord my beloved. | 071 | 29485 |
| Let all people see how Christ has changed your life and rejoice | Phil 4:4-5 KJV | Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. | 525 | 29488 |
| Prayer. He will give us His Peace | Phil 4:6-7 KJV | Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. | 631 | 29490 |
| If anything is worth it, think on Godly things. | Phil 4:8 NASB | Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things. | 115 | 29492 |
| Paul told the Philippians to follow his teaching, what he said, gave and had shown to them. | Phil 4:9 NASB | The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things; and the God of peace shall be with you. | 042 | 29493 |
| Be content with the way we are and situations we are in. | Phil 4:11 KJV | Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. | 982 | 29495 |
| Life is a balance of both satisfactions and needs | Phil 4:12 KJV | I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. | 854 | 29496 |
| Through Christ's strength we can do anything | Phil 4:13 KJV | I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. | 276 | 29497 |
| When asking others to give, don't seek the money, but the profit it brings to them. | Phil 4:17 NASB | Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account. | 898 | 29501 |
| God's provision is according to His glory | Phil 4:19 KJV | But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. | 589 | 29503 |
| His Will - Knowledge of it. | Col 1:9 KJV | For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; | 728 | 29516 |
| Grow in knowledge and be fruitful and worthy if you know His will. | Col 1:10 KJV | That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; | 600 | 29517 |
| To attain stedfastness and patience we need the Spirit's power. | Col 1:11-12 NASB | Strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. | 830 | 29518 |
| Christ, first born from the dead and head should have preeminence | Col 1:18 KJV | And he is the head of the body, the church; who is the beginning, the first born from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. | 711 | 29525 |
| All fulness is in Jesus because God wanted it that way. | Col 1:19 NASB | For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fulness to dwell in Him. | 871 | 29526 |
| God brings everything unto Himself by the blood of Christ's cross. | Col 1:20 KJV | And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. | 294 | 29527 |
| Be happy when you suffer because you are making Christ's sufferings complete | Col 1:24 NASB | Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body (which is the church) in filling up that which is lacking in Christ's afflictions | 996 | 29531 |
| God was to proclaim the mystery, Christ in us, the hope of glory. | Col 1:27 NASB | To whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. | 054 | 29534 |
| Preach and teach in order to make men perfect in Jesus | Col 1:28 KJV | Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. | 123 | 29535 |
| Striving with the right attitude according to His power within us. | Col 1:29 NASB | And for this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightly works within me. | 759 | 29536 |
| Knowing the mystery of God is full assurance and source of treasures | Col 2:2-3 KJV | That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowlegement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. | 211 | 29538 |
| Walk in the Lord and be rooted in the faith | Col 2:6-7 KJV | As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. | 580 | 29542 |
| Don't be caught in the world following men and not Christ | Col 2:8 KJV | Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. | 502 | 29544 |
| We are complete in Christ. | Col 2:9-10 KJV | For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. | 256 | 29545 |
| Raised up with Christ by faith in God's hand working. | Col 2:12 NASB | having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. | 909 | 29548 |
| Jesus took away the punishment for sin onto His cross. | Col 2:14 KJV | Blotting out the handwritting of the ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; | 470 | 29550 |
| Don't go around saying "don't do this or that" - that is living in the world. | Col 2:20-21 NASB | If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as "Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!" | 781 | 29556 |
| We are dead and live with Christ, therefore don't love the world | Col 3:2-3 KJV | Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. | 224 | 29561 |
| Think of our members as dead when it comes to the sins of the flesh. | Col 3:5 NASB | Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. | 615 | 29564 |
| renewed to a true knowledge like God; this is what is happening to our new self. | Col 3:9-10 NASB | Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him | 714 | 29568 |
| love leads to perfection; be ruled by peace, this is our purpose. | Col 3:14-15 KJV | And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. | 271 | 29573 |
| Word - teaching leads to joy and song | Col 3:16 KJV | Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. | 838 | 29575 |
| Children lose heart when fathers get them frustrated, Don’t do it. | Col 3:21 NASB | Fathers, do not exasperate your children, that they may not lose heart. | 187 | 29580 |
| Do everything as to the Lord, because we serve Him | Col 3:23-24 KJV | And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. | 315 | 29582 |
| God is the one who gives us the opportunity to witness; therefore we need to pray for it and for courage. | Col 4:3-4 NASB | praying at the same time for us as well, that God may open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned in order that I may make it clear in the way I ought to speak. | 604 | 29587 |
| We need to capitalize on every opportunity with non-Christians; be wise. | Col 4:5 NASB | Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. | 691 | 29589 |
| We should know how to answer everyone with grace and seasonings (the gospel) | Col 4:6 NASB | Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person. | 688 | 29590 |
| We need to labor earnestly in prayer for people so they become perfect and assured in Gods will | Col 4:12 NASB | Epaphras, who is one of your number, a bondslave of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God. | 639 | 29596 |
| Be a good example in order for the gospel to have effectiveness | 1Thes 1:5 KJV | For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. | 530 | 29607 |
| Multiplication, Christ likeness spreads by being examples and being imitated. | 1Thes 1:6-7 KJV | You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. | 142 | 29608 |
| We were approved by God to have the gospel and so we speak, to please Him | 1Thes 2:4 NASB | but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men but God, who examines our hearts. | 809 | 29616 |
| Treat new Christians as a young mother and be gentle | 1Thes 2:7 KJV | But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: | 114 | 29619 |
| Learn not only to wittness but to give your life to men | 1Thes 2:8 KJV | So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us. | 352 | 29620 |
| We should work so we can preach the Gospel without being a burden. | 1Thes 2:9 NASB | For you recall, brethren, our labor and hardship, how working night and day so as not to be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God. | 112 | 29621 |
| Act perfect in front of believers for God knows and so do they. | 1Thes 2:10 NASB | You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers; | 119 | 29622 |
| We all should be good and live that way and teach this to others as fathers would. | 1Thes 2:11-12 KJV | As ye know how we exorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, that ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. | 451 | 29623 |
| We all should be good and live that way and teach this to others as fathers would | 1Thes 2:11-12 KJV | As ye know how we exorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, that ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. | 964 | 29623 |
| People look at our word as God's word. We should always be thankful, and faithful. | 1Thes 2:13 NASB | And for this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received from us the word of God's message, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe. | 582 | 29625 |
| The people we help to know Jesus are our joy and crowns at the end. | 1Thes 2:19-20 KJV | For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? For ye are our glory and joy. | 674 | 29631 |
| Paul continually told the people that they all must suffer and go through hard times. | 1Thes 3:4 NASB | For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction; and so it came to pass, as you know. | 715 | 29636 |
| When our children stand firm, we really live, and are comforted in afflictions. | 1Thes 3:7-8 NASB | for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith; for now we really live, if you stand firm in the Lord. | 458 | 29639 |
| Walk in the way we showed you of how to please God. | 1Thes 4:1 KJV | Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. | 358 | 29646 |
| be alert and not drunk and don't sleep for we are the children of the day. | 1Thes 5:6-7 KJV | Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. | 077 | 29669 |
| We have to build up each other with encouragement, like we're already doing. | 1Thes 5:11 NASB | Therefore encourage one another, and build up one another, just as you also are doing. | 714 | 29674 |
| We should highly esteem and appreciate those who are our spiritual leaders. | 1Thes 5:12-13 NASB | But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction, and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another. | 582 | 29675 |
| Be patient, help those who need it and admonish and encorage them also. | 1Thes 5:14 NASB | And we urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all men. | 123 | 29677 |
| Follow the good path and stop getting even for wrong deeds of others. | 1Thes 5:15 KJV | see that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. | 924 | 29678 |
| Rejoice, pray and give thanks for it is God's will | 1Thes 5:16-18 KJV | Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. | 934 | 29679 |
| God will make you a better Christian for he is faithful | 1Thes 5:24 KJV | Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. | 249 | 29687 |
| When unbelievers die they aren't able to be with Christ | 2Thes 1:9 KJV | Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; | 675 | 29700 |
| Paul prayed that the Thessalonians would have all desires for goodness and works of faith fulfilled | 2Thes 1:11 NASB | To this end also we pray for you always that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power; | 012 | 29702 |
| The end is near. Don't be wavery or troubled by anything. | 2Thes 2:2 KJV | That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. | 720 | 29705 |
| People should ask God that the word would increase and be glorified here like other places | 2Thes 3:1 NASB | Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you; | 290 | 29721 |
| If we are faithful, Jesus will put us into service and strengthen us. | 1Tim 1:12 NASB | I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service; | 784 | 29750 |
| We should be thankful and pray for all men | 1Tim 2:1 KJV | I exort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. | 192 | 29759 |
| Jesus is the only way, told about in due season | 1Tim 2:5-6 KJV | For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. | 162 | 29763 |
| If we want to manage the church of God, we have to start with our own household | 1Tim 3:4-5 NASB | He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?); | 989 | 29777 |
| We will be nourished by the word when we help and exhort others in their walk with God | 1Tim 4:6 NASB | In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following. | 114 | 29795 |
| Don't even associate with old tales but concentrate on godliness | 1Tim 4:7 NASB | But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; | 852 | 29796 |
| Godliness brings both abundant and eternal life | 1Tim 4:8 KJV | For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. | 143 | 29797 |
| Our progress is evident when we are absorbed in the ministry and sacrificing for it | 1Tim 4:15 NASB | Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress may be evident to all. | 844 | 29804 |
| If we want to insure the salvation of those whom we teach we need good doctrine and lives | 1Tim 4:16 NASB | Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things; for as you do this you will insure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you. | 095 | 29805 |
| Don’t rebuke elders, but appeal to them in purity; be humble. | 1Tim 5:1-2 NASB | Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers, the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity. | 347 | 29806 |
| Originally the elders who taught and preached were to receive honor and wages. | 1Tim 5:17-18 NASB | Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing," and "The laborer is worthy of his wages." | 596 | 29822 |
| We need contentment, only then does godliness give us great increase | 1Tim 6:6 NASB | But godliness actually is a means of great gain, when accompanied by contentment. | 568 | 29836 |
| Be content with needs for what did we have at birth | 1Tim 6:7-8 KJV | For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us therewith content. | 473 | 29837 |
| The man of God pursues godly qualities and runs away from false doctrine. | 1Tim 6:11 NASB | But flee from these things, you man of God; and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. | 290 | 29841 |
| Endure, fight and obtain eternal life. That is what we are called to. | 1Tim 6:12 KJV | Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. | 345 | 29842 |
| Pray night and day, with a spotless conscience and be like the men of the old testament | 2Tim 1:3 NASB | I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day, | 134 | 29854 |
| We need to keep the fire going under us to make us use our gifts and keep it alive | 2Tim 1:6 NASB | And for this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. | 883 | 29857 |
| God gave us a sure sound mind because of His Spirit | 2Tim 1:7 KJV | For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. | 842 | 29858 |
| When we suffer do so according to God's power and don't be ashamed. | 2Tim 1:8 NASB | Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or of me His prisoner; but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God, | 276 | 29859 |
| God's plan, set up from all eternity (purpose, grace and not works). | 2Tim 1:9 NASB | who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, | 838 | 29860 |
| Jesus abolished death and gave us life and immortality | 2Tim 1:10 NASB | but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, | 136 | 29861 |
| God is able to guard what we entrust to him, and because we know this, we can suffer without shame. | 2Tim 1:12 NASB | For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. | 200 | 29863 |
| We should try to keep the same message of Paul's and do not let it be changed | 2Tim 1:13 NASB | Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. | 364 | 29864 |
| It is the Holy Spirit which enables us to guard the gospel given to us. | 2Tim 1:14 NASB | Guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you. | 514 | 29865 |
| Onesiphorus, eager for training, was not ashamed, but was refreshing to Paul | 2Tim 1:16-17 NASB | The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chains; but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me, and found me -- | 768 | 29867 |
| Our strength should be in dependence upon God for all things. | 2Tim 2:1 NASB | You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. | 474 | 29870 |
| We should teach men who are able to teach others. | 2Tim 2:2 KJV | And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able teach others also. | 863 | 29871 |
| Discipline is necessary just as if we were soldiers | 2Tim 2:3-4 KJV | Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. | 487 | 29872 |
| Press on like anyone wanting to master something - even farming | 2Tim 2:5-6 KJV | And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. | 297 | 29874 |
| We need to know the word so we will be effective even in jail and in suffering | 2Tim 2:8-9 NASB | Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel, for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of God is not imprisoned. | 549 | 29877 |
| We died and live with Him - we should endure sufferings so God's chosen will get salvation. | 2Tim 2:10-11 NASB | For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory. It is a trustworthy statement: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him | 009 | 29879 |
| Assurance of Salvation - Christ will always remain faithful | 2Tim 2:12-13 KJV | If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. If we believe not, he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. | 724 | 29881 |
| Study the word | 2Tim 2:15 KJV | Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of thruth. | 341 | 29884 |
| God know us. This is the firm foundation of God. We also need to be holy. | 2Tim 2:19 NASB | Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of the Lord abstain from wickedness." | 984 | 29888 |
| Some vessels are made out of good stuff some aren't, some for good uses, some to bad | 2Tim 2:20 NASB | Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor. | 456 | 29889 |
| Clean ourselves and we will become useful for honor. | 2Tim 2:21 KJV | If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. | 058 | 29890 |
| Follow those with a pure heart and seek their fruit, not our own lusts. | 2Tim 2:22 KJV | Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. | 380 | 29891 |
| Try to keep away from stupid questions | 2Tim 2:23 KJV | But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. | 123 | 29892 |
| Patience and meekness, apt to teach. | 2Tim 2:24-25 KJV | And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth. | 071 | 29893 |
| People become selfish and unloving at the end. Therefore, we will really have hard times. | 2Tim 3:1-2 NASB | But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, | 969 | 29896 |
| Timothy followed Paul's way of life, even to enduring, suffering and waiting for God's deliverance. | 2Tim 3:10-11 NASB | But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance, Persecutions, sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me! | 010 | 29905 |
| If you're to be sanctified, you will be persecuted. | 2Tim 3:12 NASB | And indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. | 417 | 29907 |
| Considering who we learn things from (God) we need to continue in them earnestly | 2Tim 3:14 NASB | You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them; | 468 | 29909 |
| The Bible gives us the needed wisdom for salvation, we should teach it. | 2Tim 3:15 NASB | and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. | 489 | 29910 |
| Word - Inspired and good | 2Tim 3:16 KJV | All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: | 246 | 29911 |
| Word - Helps us to do good | 2Tim 3:17 KJV | That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. | 377 | 29912 |
| Wittness and have the word at all times - Help people to grow | 2Tim 4:2 KJV | Preach the word; be instant in season, and out of season; reprove rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. | 042 | 29914 |
| People get teachers around them to say exactly what they want to hear, myths not truth. | 2Tim 4:3-4 NASB | For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths. | 778 | 29915 |
| Evangelize and have fruit from our ministry | 2Tim 4:5 KJV | But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. | 453 | 29917 |
| Paul ran well, and kept the faith and he was poured out, we too should be able to say this | 2Tim 4:6-7 NASB | For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; | 918 | 29918 |
| We all have our rewards, all we have to do is to love His coming. | 2Tim 4:8 KJV | Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. | 419 | 29920 |
| Paul had men around him, men of service. Then he sent them to serve elsewhere. | 2Tim 4:11-12 NASB | Only Luke is with me. Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service. But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. | 886 | 29923 |
| God strengthens us so we can preach the gospel, he also delivers us from trouble | 2Tim 4:17 NASB | But the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me, in order that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the lion's mouth. | 838 | 29929 |
| God will deliver us from persecutions and get us to His kingdom without harm. | 2Tim 4:18 NASB | The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. | 563 | 29930 |
| Elders should know the Bible so they can exhort and refute contradictors | Titus 1:9 NASB | holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict. | 231 | 29943 |
| If women don't fulfill God's will for their part of marriage, the word will be dishonored | Titus 2:4-5 NASB | that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be dishonored. | 670 | 29954 |
| Don't steal, be of good faith, be obedient to our employers like slaves to their masters | Titus 2:9-10 NASB | Urge bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, not pilfering, but showing all good faith that they may adorn the doctrine of God our savior, in every respect. | 986 | 29959 |
| Christ made us into an odd people zealous of good works. | Titus 2:14 KJV | Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. | 379 | 29964 |
| Salvation is not by works, but by washing and renewing. | Titus 3:5 KJV | Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. | 792 | 29970 |
| Old way - prophets. New way - Jesus. God speaks | Heb 1:1-2 KJV | God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his son whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds. | 840 | 30006 |
| Jesus expressed his image, cleanse our sins and then went to God's right hand. | Heb 1:3 KJV | Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; | 627 | 30008 |
| Jesus' thrown is forever and the scepter of His Kingdom is righteousness, says God. | Heb 1:8 NASB | But of the Son He says, "Thy Throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the septer of His Kingdom". | 989 | 30013 |
| Pay the most attention to that which we know lest we fall. | Heb 2:1 KJV | Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. | 206 | 30020 |
| If the law is true & the wages of sin is death we cannot escape! | Heb 2:2 KJV | For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; | 187 | 30021 |
| There is no escape if we don't take Christ's salvation | Heb 2:3 KJV | How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; | 366 | 30022 |
| Jesus was to experience death for every man | Heb 2:9 KJV | But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower that the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. | 456 | 30028 |
| God wants us to share His holiness, that is why He disciplines like a father. | Heb 2:10 NASB | For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings. | 431 | 30029 |
| God caused Jesus to suffer, so that the starter of salvation may be perfect | Heb 2:10 NASB | For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings. | 042 | 30029 |
| Fear of death and the Devil were removed by Jesus becoming flesh and dying. | Heb 2:14-15 NASB | Since then the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil; and might deliver those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. | 217 | 30033 |
| His help in temptation, because He suffered | Heb 2:18 KJV | For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. | 823 | 30037 |
| Christ's help in Temptation | Heb 2:18 KJV | For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. | 801 | 30037 |
| Help each other, so that we don't become hardened by sin and fall away. | Heb 3:12-13 NASB | Take care, brethren, lest there should be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, in falling away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. | 774 | 30049 |
| Strive for the promise of rest, lest we don't make it. | Heb 4:1 KJV | Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. | 528 | 30057 |
| Christian's can have rest (Sabbath) since Joshua did not give it to Israel. | Heb 4:8-9 NASB | For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God. | 349 | 30064 |
| Abide in Christ (rest) and God does the work. | Heb 4:10 KJV | For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. | 575 | 30066 |
| Don't fall like Israel did but work to be living in God. | Heb 4:11 KJV | Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest anyman fall after the same example of unbelief. | 991 | 30067 |
| Word | Heb 4:12 KJV | For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. | 855 | 30068 |
| Before God we are naked and there is nothing hidden. | Heb 4:13 KJV | Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. | 911 | 30069 |
| Jesus' humanity - Just like us but without sin. | Heb 4:15 KJV | For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. | 886 | 30071 |
| To get help in our troubles go to God boldly. | Heb 4:16 KJV | Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. | 475 | 30072 |
| Jesus was beset with weaknesses like us, therefore He can deal gently with us. | Heb 5:1-2 NASB | For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins; he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness; | 621 | 30073 |
| We learn obedience through suffering, just like Jesus did. | Heb 5:8 KJV | Though he were a son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; | 404 | 30080 |
| Be familiar with the Word and develop habits around it, then are we mature. | Heb 5:13-14 NASB | For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil. | 234 | 30085 |
| Be diligent, not lazy if we want to obtain the promises | Heb 6:11-12 KJV | And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end; That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. | 340 | 30097 |
| We have hope, hope of sure entry to His presence, hope that anchors our soul | Heb 6:19 NASB | This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, | 427 | 30105 |
| Jesus was the only priest which was sinless and forever on duty. | Heb 7:28 KJV | For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. | 850 | 30134 |
| There has to be a sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin. | Heb 9:22 KJV | And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. | 475 | 30169 |
| Judgement - all will be judged. | Heb 9:27 KJV | And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: | 519 | 30174 |
| Fellowship - show each other their mistakes | Heb 10:24-25 KJV | And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. | 062 | 30199 |
| We need endurance to gain the promises when we obey | Heb 10:36 NASB | For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. | 692 | 30211 |
| Faith - Definition | Heb 11:1 KJV | Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. | 531 | 30215 |
| Enoch was pleasing to God, this is shown by his faith, in that God took him | Heb 11:5 NASB | By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found because God took him up; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God. | 712 | 30219 |
| Faith - we must believe He is | Heb 11:6 KJV | But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. | 088 | 30220 |
| Abraham went out and didn't know where he was going - what faith! | Heb 11:8 KJV | By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. | 461 | 30222 |
| Abraham looked for a city with foundations, God's city and he lived by faith as an alien in the land. | Heb 11:9-10 NASB | By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. | 826 | 30223 |
| Abraham, as good as dead, and yet God made his descendants greater that the sand in number | Heb 11:12 NASB | therefore, also, there was born of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants as the stars of heaven in number, and innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore. | 780 | 30226 |
| The patriarchs looked forward in time with faith and received Christ the same way we do. | Heb 11:13-14 AWK | All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. | 855 | 30227 |
| Lay aside the problems that hold us back and run the race. | Heb 12:1 KJV | Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of wittnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, | 892 | 30255 |
| Jesus started and perfects our faith by enduring the cross and keep looking to Him. | Heb 12:2 NASB | fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. | 014 | 30256 |
| Be steadfast - His steadfastness give us an example | Heb 12:3 KJV | For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. | 920 | 30257 |
| God chastens all His sons and if we endure, he treats us like that. | Heb 12:7 KJV | If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? | 565 | 30261 |
| Peaceful righteous fruit comes from chastenings which seem hard. | Heb 12:11 KJV | Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. | 139 | 30265 |
| If we have bitterness, it will transmit and may defile others. Seek the grace of God. | Heb 12:15 NASB | See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled; | 646 | 30269 |
| Show love to everyone or else one might be an angel. | Heb 13:1-2 KJV | Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. | 959 | 30284 |
| Christ before the flesh - Be content, He is here | Heb 13:5 KJV | Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. | 186 | 30288 |
| We should imitate our spiritual leaders' faith, looking at their way of life. | Heb 13:7 NASB | Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the outcome of their way of life, imitate their faith. | 366 | 30290 |
| Jesus is the same always | Heb 13:8 KJV | Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. | 969 | 30291 |
| Obey our spiritual leaders, for they must give account. | Heb 13:17 KJV | Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. | 697 | 30300 |
| God is working in us to equip us to do His will, to be pleasing to Him, through Jesus | Heb 13:20-21 NASB | Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. | 747 | 30303 |
| Greetings from Jesus' brother who considers himself as just a slave | James 1:1 NASB | James a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad, greetings. | 678 | 30309 |
| Be happy in tribulations because they work patience into our lives. | James 1:2-3 KJV | My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. | 454 | 30310 |
| Cheerfully endure and continue in tribulation to let it have its perfect result, maturity. | James 1:4 NASB | And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. | 802 | 30312 |
| If you want to gain wisdom ask God and He gives it to you. | James 1:5 KJV | If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him. | 772 | 30313 |
| Ask God without any doubts and don't be tossed like the waves. | James 1:6 NASB | But let him ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. | 337 | 30314 |
| A man without faith can get anything from God and is completely unstable. | James 1:7-8 NASB | For let not that man expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. | 977 | 30315 |
| rich should glory n humiliation and humbly glory in the position we have - we all pass away. | James 1:9-10 NASB | But let the brother of humble circumstances glory in his high position; and let the rich man glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away. | 760 | 30317 |
| Materialism - It all passes away. | James 1:11 KJV | For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. | 897 | 30319 |
| We get the crown of life for enduring under our trials. | James 1:12 NASB | Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love him. | 991 | 30320 |
| It is not God that tempts us. | James 1:13 KJV | Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: | 437 | 30321 |
| Death from sin. Sin from lusts. This is from temptation by our own lusts. | James 1:14-15 KJV | But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. | 899 | 30322 |
| There is not even a shadow of change with God, and everything good is from Him | James 1:16-17 NASB | Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow. | 272 | 30324 |
| It is God who caused us to become Christians by His word and will. | James 1:18 NASB | In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we might be, as it were, the first fruits among His creatures. | 240 | 30326 |
| Anger is not the answer but listening and being quiet is. | James 1:19-20 KJV | Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. | 985 | 30327 |
| Throw out sin and do the things spoken of in the Bible and be not deceived | James 1:21-22 KJV | Wherefore, lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness and receive with meekness the engrafted word which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only deceiving your own selves. | 505 | 30329 |
| Do it or lose it principle - like a man looking in a mirror so is the word. | James 1:23-24 NASB | For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. | 958 | 30331 |
| Success is based on looking into the word, living by it and doing what it says. | James 1:25 NASB | But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man shall be blessed in what he does. | 551 | 30333 |
| Keep your tongue under control, or else your religion is in vain. | James 1:26 KJV | If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. | 385 | 30334 |
| Don't let the world stain you. Help widows and orphans. This is perfect religion. | James 1:27 NASB | This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father, to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. | 822 | 30335 |
| We should rely on our works to indicate our faith and not just say we have faith. | James 2:17-18 NASB | Even so faith, if it has no works, it dead, being by itself. But someone may well say, "You have faith, and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works." | 506 | 30352 |
| Angels (Satan) have faith and shudder; we need to combine our faith with works. | James 2:19-20 NASB | You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless? | 622 | 30354 |
| Control the tongue and we are able to control the body also | James 3:2 KJV | For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. | 150 | 30363 |
| Large things like horses and ships are controlled by small things, bit and rudders. | James 3:3-4 NASB | Now if we put the bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, we direct their entire body as well. Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder, wherever the inclination of the pilot desires. | 291 | 30364 |
| Our tongue is fired up by hell, and it’s the thing that governs our lives, defiles us and is sin. | James 3:6 NASB | And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. | 617 | 30367 |
| We shouln't use our tongues the way we do, blessing God and cursing men. | James 3:9-10 NASB | With it we bless our Lord and Father; and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way. | 153 | 30370 |
| Good words and bad words shouldn't come from my mouth. It's contrary to all nature. | James 3:11-12 NASB | Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water? Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Neither can salt water produce fresh. | 146 | 30372 |
| We can only show others our progress by our good behavior and gentle wisdom, not by tongue. | James 3:13 NASB | Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. | 636 | 30374 |
| Controlling our tongue -> peace -> fruit | James 3:18 KJV | And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. | 177 | 30379 |
| We need to ask for what we want and not fight, quarrel and murder. | James 4:2 NASB | You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. And you are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. | 114 | 30381 |
| Prayer is not answered because you pray for lusts. | James 4:3 KJV | Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. | 613 | 30382 |
| God is enemies with the world and to be friends with it is to be God's enemy. | James 4:4 NASB | You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. | 177 | 30383 |
| Resist Satan, submit to God, He will give us a greater grace, and the devil will glee | James 4:6-7 NASB | But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble." Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. | 727 | 30385 |
| Get things straight, confess sin, get close to God and He will get close to you. | James 4:8 NASB | Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you doubleminded. | 076 | 30387 |
| There is no reincarnation, so we surely don't know what's coming. | James 4:14 KJV | Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. | 101 | 30393 |
| Like the farmer who waits for all the rain to come, we too need patience. | James 5:7 NASB | Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains. | 561 | 30403 |
| We shouldn't make oaths but when we say yes, we should follow through on it. | James 5:12 NASB | But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but let your yes be yes, and your no, no; so that you may not fall under judgement. | 434 | 30408 |
| Pray, for it really works and get much done. | James 5:16 KJV | Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. | 715 | 30412 |
| We can pray for anything with confidence, Elijah stopped the rain for over 3 years then started it again. | James 5:17-18 NASB | Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain; and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the sky poured rain, and the earth produced its fruit. | 595 | 30413 |
| We are to live as aliens, spread out all over the world as God's chosen. | 1Peter 1:1 NASB | Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen | 257 | 30417 |
| In order to become a Christian we have to be known beforehand and the Spirit has to work. | 1Peter 1:2 NASB | according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in fullest measure. | 507 | 30418 |
| God caused us to become Christians and gain a living hope through the Ressurection | 1Peter 1:3 NASB | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. | 916 | 30419 |
| Our share in heaven will not fade away but its reserved for us. | 1Peter 1:4 NASB | to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, | 576 | 30420 |
| Even though troubled by trail we are sure we are protected by God's power. | 1Peter 1:5-6 NASB | who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials. | 665 | 30421 |
| Be a glory to Jesus by enduring the problems we faced and the trials | 1Peter 1:7 NASB | That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: | 482 | 30423 |
| We are joyful because we love and believe in Jesus, having never seen Him. | 1Peter 1:8-9 NASB | and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, Obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls. | 850 | 30424 |
| If we want to be true men of God like the Prophets, study the word. | 1Peter 1:10 NASB | As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful search and inquiry. | 296 | 30426 |
| The spirit indicated Christ's suffering and later glories a long time ago but the prophets wondered when. | 1Peter 1:11 NASB | seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. | 393 | 30427 |
| Angels long to see what is being announced to us in the gospel | 1Peter 1:12 NASB | It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven – things into which angels long to look. | 426 | 30428 |
| Put everything you got on Jesus, get your mind in gear and be alert. | 1Peter 1:13 NASB | Therefore, gird your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix you hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. | 042 | 30429 |
| Be holy like God and not lustful like the way we used to be. | 1Peter 1:14-15 NASB | As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; | 284 | 30430 |
| God judges according to our actions and we call him Father; therefore, be careful how you act. | 1Peter 1:17 NASB | And if you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each man's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay upon earth; | 949 | 30433 |
| We were redeemed by Christ own precious blood and not silver - that’s why we should be holy. | 1Peter 1:18-19 NASB | knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. | 703 | 30434 |
| Purification by obeying -> Love. | 1Peter 1:22 KJV | Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: | 738 | 30438 |
| God's word lives forever; this is the means by which we were saved. | 1Peter 1:23 NASB | for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and abiding word of God. | 842 | 30439 |
| Word - desire it and you will know God is gracious | 1Peter 2:2-3 KJV | As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. | 275 | 30443 |
| Jesus a precious stone to God, rejected by men. It is Him we come to. | 1Peter 2:4 NASB | And coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected by men, but choice and precious in the sight of God. | 050 | 30445 |
| We are parts of the Building of God, so that spiritual sacrifices can be offered to Him. | 1Peter 2:5 NASB | Your also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. | 647 | 30446 |
| People stumble because they are disobedient and to this they were appointed; therefore, Jesus is not precious to them. | 1Peter 2:7-8 NASB | The precious value, then, is for you who believe. But for those who disbelieve, "The stone which the builders rejected, this became the very corner stone," and, "A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense"; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed. | 320 | 30448 |
| We are to proclaim God's perfection, God who chose us, called us and made us perfect. | 1Peter 2:9 NASB | But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. | 843 | 30450 |
| We didn't have mercy and once were nobodies but now we're God's people. | 1Peter 2:10 NASB | for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. | 327 | 30451 |
| Purity - don't fight your conscience | 1Peter 2:11 KJV | Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; | 947 | 30452 |
| Do all things perfect so people can come when God calls. | 1Peter 2:12 KJV | Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. | 374 | 30453 |
| Submit to governments and their rulers; the people who are good have nothing to worry about. | 1Peter 2:13-14 NASB | Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. | 665 | 30454 |
| God's will is that we win people to Christ, silence them by our good deeds. | 1Peter 2:15 NASB | For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. | 192 | 30456 |
| We need to be obedient to those over us regardless of whether they are right. | 1Peter 2:18 NASB | Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable. | 040 | 30459 |
| If we endure under sorrows, suffering unjustly, we can find favor with God. | 1Peter 2:19 NASB | For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a man bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly. | 491 | 30460 |
| Acceptable suffering is when we suffer unjustly. | 1Peter 2:20 KJV | For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. | 797 | 30461 |
| We are to follow Christ's example, suffering for others and being holy. | 1Peter 2:21-22 NASB | For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; | 021 | 30462 |
| Christ our example, suffered and did not threaten, was hurt, but took no revenge. | 1Peter 2:23 KJV | Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: | 494 | 30464 |
| Live to righteousness. He took our sins and we are now dead. | 1Peter 2:24 KJV | Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes we are healed. | 916 | 30465 |
| Non-Christian husbands are won by the chaste and respectful behavior of their Christian wives. | 1Peter 3:1-2 NASB | In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior. | 147 | 30467 |
| Gentle and quiet spirit is an everlasting quality and should be found in all Christian women. | 1Peter 3:4 NASB | but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. | 858 | 30470 |
| Wives weaker -- give them honor so that our prayers are not hindered. | 1Peter 3:7 KJV | Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. | 884 | 30473 |
| We were called for the purpose of giving a blessing instead of insults to get a blessing. | 1Peter 3:9 NASB | not returning evil for evil, or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing. | 279 | 30475 |
| If we want a good life we need to seek and pursue peace and watch our tongue. | 1Peter 3:10-11 NASB | For "Let him who means to love life and see good days refrain his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking guile. And let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it." | 592 | 30476 |
| God is set against the wicked but watches over us and listens carefully for our prayers. | 1Peter 3:12 NASB | For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears attend to their prayer, But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. | 941 | 30478 |
| Don't fear or be troubled when suffering for righteousness for you are blessed | 1Peter 3:14 NASB | But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, | 439 | 30480 |
| Be ready at all times to give an account about why we have hope. | 1Peter 3:15 KJV | But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: | 462 | 30481 |
| We need to be holy so that when people slander us they will be put to shame. | 1Peter 3:16 NASB | and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. | 309 | 30482 |
| It is great if God wants you to suffer for doing good like Jesus | 1Peter 3:17 NASB | For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong. | 857 | 30483 |
| Answer to Sin - brings us to God | 1Peter 3:18 KJV | For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: | 902 | 30484 |
| We are saved by desiring and asking God for a good conscience, not by baptism. | 1Peter 3:21 NASB | And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you -- not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience – Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. | 720 | 30487 |
| Arm ourselves with Christ's mind. Suffer and over come sins. | 1Peter 4:1 KJV | Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; | 877 | 30489 |
| We shouldn't live after men's lust's but after God's will. | 1Peter 4:2 KJV | That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. | 409 | 30490 |
| Don’t continue in sin, you have already spent enough time in lust, pride, and the flesh | 1Peter 4:3 NASB | For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousals, drinking parties and abominable idolatries. | 949 | 30491 |
| The reason we need to be alert in prayer is because the end in near. | 1Peter 4:7 NASB | The end of all things is at hand; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. | 317 | 30495 |
| Love stops sinning and overlooks it . We need it and uncomplaining hospitality | 1Peter 4:8-9 NASB | Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaint. | 497 | 30496 |
| As we have received grace, we must also minister it wisely. | 1Peter 4:10 KJV | As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. | 639 | 30498 |
| We need to do everything only as God supplies power, serving, speaking, to the glory of God | 1Peter 4:11 NASB | Whoever speaks, let him speak, as it were, the utterences of God; whoever serves, let him do so as by the strengh which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. | 904 | 30499 |
| Don’t be surprised when testings come like a fire. | 1Peter 4:12 NASB | Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; | 279 | 30500 |
| To rejoice at the end we need to rejoice in sufferings today. | 1Peter 4:13 NASB | but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing; so that also at the revelation of His glory, you may rejoice with exultation. | 295 | 30501 |
| God's Spirit and glory rest on us if we are put down for Jesus' sake. | 1Peter 4:14 NASB | If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. | 951 | 30502 |
| Don't be ashamed in suffering, but glorify God and make sure you don't suffer for wrong. | 1Peter 4:15-16 NASB | By no means let any of you suffer as a murderer, or theif, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler; but if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not feel ashamed, but in that name let him glorify God. | 365 | 30503 |
| Judgment has begun for the Church, what then will happen to the non-Christians. | 1Peter 4:17 NASB | For it is time for judgement to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? | 337 | 30505 |
| God is faithful; therefore, we should commit ourselves to Him in suffering. | 1Peter 4:19 NASB | Therefore, let those also who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right. | 878 | 30507 |
| Be overseers of the Church near you, and do it happily, eagerly, and not for fleshly gain | 1Peter 5:2 NASB | shepherd the flock of God among you, not under compulsion, but voluntarily according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness; | 777 | 30509 |
| Be an example to the flock so the Chief Shepherd can reward you. | 1Peter 5:3-4 NASB | nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. | 859 | 30510 |
| Humility shall make us better as time goes on. | 1Peter 5:5-6 KJV | Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: | 073 | 30512 |
| His Peace - He cares for us | 1Peter 5:7 KJV | Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. | 323 | 30514 |
| The devil is trying to eat us all up – be alert, circcumspect, cautious | 1Peter 5:8 KJV | Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: | 608 | 30515 |
| We need to resist the devil because our brouther are also suffering. | 1Peter 5:9 NASB | But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. | 919 | 30516 |
| Christ called us, God will confirm establish strength and perfect us, after a little suffering. | 1Peter 5:10 NASB | And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. | 458 | 30517 |
| Knowledge of God and of Jesus be multiplied to you. | 2Peter 1:2 NASB | Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; | 944 | 30523 |
| Through the knowledge of Him we have all that we need to be sanctified. | 2Peter 1:3 NASB | seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. | 290 | 30524 |
| Escape the world and have God's nature in you by the promises given. | 2Peter 1:4 KJV | Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. | 602 | 30525 |
| Build into your life moral perfection through faith and to that build in knowledge. | 2Peter 1:5 NASB | Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge; | 630 | 30526 |
| We need self control, perseverance godliness, kindness and love to be fruitfull. | 2Peter 1:6-7 NASB | and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance and in your perseverance, godliness; and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. | 965 | 30527 |
| We will not be useless or unfruitful if we have the qualities Peter spoke of. | 2Peter 1:8 NASB | For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. | 809 | 30529 |
| We should all seek to confirm our salvation in good works. | 2Peter 1:10 KJV | Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: | 956 | 30531 |
| The gospel of Christ is not all made up but they were actually there seeing it. | 2Peter 1:16 KJV | For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewittnesses of his majesty. | 297 | 30537 |
| Our hearts are enlightened by the word. Also it is good to obey it. | 2Peter 1:19 NASB | And so we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. | 066 | 30540 |
| The Bible was written by Spirit filled men. Consequently, we just can't interpret it any old way. | 2Peter 1:20-21 KJV | Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
