whom I did not love before.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:27 - And concerning Israel, Isaiah the prophet cried out,
“Though the people of Israel are as numerous as the sand of the seashore,
only a remnant will be saved.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:29 - And Isaiah said the same thing in another place:
“If the LORD of Heaven's Armies
had not spared a few of our children,
we would have been wiped out like Sodom,
destroyed like Gomorrah.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:32 - Why not? Because they were trying to get right with God by keeping the law[fn] instead of by trusting in him. They stumbled over the great rock in their path.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:2 - No, God has not rejected his own people, whom he chose from the very beginning. Do you realize what the Scriptures say about this? Elijah the prophet complained to God about the people of Israel and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 11:33 - Oh, how great are God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 12:3 - Because of the privilege and authority[fn] God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don't think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:9 - For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet.”[fn] These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:13 - Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don't participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:15 - Even so, I have been bold enough to write about some of these points, knowing that all you need is this reminder. For by God's grace,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 15:24 - I am planning to go to Spain, and when I do, I will stop off in Rome. And after I have enjoyed your fellowship for a little while, you can provide for my journey.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:1 - Dear brothers and sisters,[fn] when I was with you I couldn't talk to you as I would to spiritual people.[fn] I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in the Christian life.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:5 - After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God's servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:10 - Because of God's grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 3:15 - But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:1 - So look at Apollos and me as mere servants of Christ who have been put in charge of explaining God's mysteries.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:7 - For what gives you the right to make such a judgment? What do you have that God hasn't given you? And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:9 - Instead, I sometimes think God has put us apostles on display, like prisoners of war at the end of a victor's parade, condemned to die. We have become a spectacle to the entire world—to people and angels alike.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:13 - We appeal gently when evil things are said about us. Yet we are treated like the world's garbage, like everybody's trash—right up to the present moment.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:14 - I am not writing these things to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 4:18 - Some of you have become arrogant, thinking I will not visit you again.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 5:3 - Even though I am not with you in person, I am with you in the Spirit.[fn] And as though I were there, I have already passed judgment on this man
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:7 - But I wish everyone were single, just as I am. Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:8 - So I say to those who aren't married and to widows—it's better to stay unmarried, just as I am.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:17 - Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and remain as you were when God first called you. This is my rule for all the churches.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:25 - Now regarding your question about the young women who are not yet married. I do not have a command from the Lord for them. But the Lord in his mercy has given me wisdom that can be trusted, and I will share it with you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:29 - But let me say this, dear brothers and sisters: The time that remains is very short. So from now on, those with wives should not focus only on their marriage.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:30 - Those who weep or who rejoice or who buy things should not be absorbed by their weeping or their joy or their possessions.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:31 - Those who use the things of the world should not become attached to them. For this world as we know it will soon pass away.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 8:7 - However, not all believers know this. Some are accustomed to thinking of idols as being real, so when they eat food that has been offered to idols, they think of it as the worship of real gods, and their weak consciences are violated.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:5 - Don't we have the right to bring a Christian wife with us as the other apostles and the Lord's brothers do, and as Peter[fn] does?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:20 - When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:21 - When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish law,[fn] I too live apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore the law of God; I obey the law of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:22 - When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 9:26 - So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 10:15 - You are reasonable people. Decide for yourselves if what I am saying is true.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 11:34 - If you are really hungry, eat at home so you won't bring judgment upon yourselves when you meet together. I'll give you instructions about the other matters after I arrive.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 12:2 - You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 13:11 - When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 16:10 - When Timothy comes, don't intimidate him. He is doing the Lord's work, just as I am.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:17 - You see, we are not like the many hucksters[fn] who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ's authority, knowing that God is watching us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:5 - It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:19 - For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:20 - So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:4 - In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:8 - We serve God whether people honor us or despise us, whether they slander us or praise us. We are honest, but they call us impostors.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:9 - We are ignored, even though we are well known. We live close to death, but we are still alive. We have been beaten, but we have not been killed.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:10 - Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:13 - I am asking you to respond as if you were my own children. Open your hearts to us!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:14 - I had told him how proud I was of you—and you didn't disappoint me. I have always told you the truth, and now my boasting to Titus has also proved true!
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:15 - Now he cares for you more than ever when he remembers the way all of you obeyed him and welcomed him with such fear and deep respect.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 9:5 - So I thought I should send these brothers ahead of me to make sure the gift you promised is ready. But I want it to be a willing gift, not one given grudgingly.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:2 - Well, I am begging you now so that when I come I won't have to be bold with those who think we act from human motives.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:9 - I'm not trying to frighten you by my letters.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 10:14 - We are not reaching beyond these boundaries when we claim authority over you, as if we had never visited you. For we were the first to travel all the way to Corinth with the Good News of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:3 - But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:15 - So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:16 - Again I say, don't think that I am a fool to talk like this. But even if you do, listen to me, as you would to a foolish person, while I also boast a little.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:17 - Such boasting is not from the Lord, but I am acting like a fool.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:21 - I'm ashamed to say that we've been too “weak” to do that!
But whatever they dare to boast about—I'm talking like a fool again—I dare to boast about it, too.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:2 - I have already warned those who had been sinning when I was there on my second visit. Now I again warn them and all others, just as I did before, that next time I will not spare them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:7 - We pray to God that you will not do what is wrong by refusing our correction. I hope we won't need to demonstrate our authority when we arrive. Do the right thing before we come—even if that makes it look like we have failed to demonstrate our authority.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 1:9 - I say again what we have said before: If anyone preaches any other Good News than the one you welcomed, let that person be cursed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 3:16 - God gave the promises to Abraham and his child.[fn] And notice that the Scripture doesn't say “to his children,[fn]” as if it meant many descendants. Rather, it says “to his child”—and that, of course, means Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:12 - Dear brothers and sisters,[fn] I plead with you to live as I do in freedom from these things, for I have become like you Gentiles—free from those laws.
You did not mistreat me when I first preached to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:14 - But even though my condition tempted you to reject me, you did not despise me or turn me away. No, you took me in and cared for me as though I were an angel from God or even Christ Jesus himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 5:14 - For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:10 - Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 2:3 - All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 3:5 - God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now by his Spirit he has revealed it to his holy apostles and prophets.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:1 - Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:8 - For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:15 - So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:22 - For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:23 - For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:28 - In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 5:33 - So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:5 - Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:6 - Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 6:20 - I am in chains now, still preaching this message as God's ambassador. So pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him, as I should.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:8 - God knows how much I love you and long for you with the tender compassion of Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:20 - For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:12 - Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:15 - so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:22 - But you know how Timothy has proved himself. Like a son with his father, he has served with me in preaching the Good News.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 2:23 - I hope to send him to you just as soon as I find out what is going to happen to me here.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:20 - You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:12 - Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:18 - Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:22 - Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything you do. Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. Serve them sincerely because of your reverent fear of the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 3:23 - Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 4:4 - Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:4 - For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:7 - As apostles of Christ we certainly had a right to make some demands of you, but instead we were like children[fn] among you. Or we were like a mother feeding and caring for her own children.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:10 - You yourselves are our witnesses—and so is God—that we were devout and honest and faultless toward all of you believers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 2:11 - And you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:2 - For you know quite well that the day of the Lord's return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:4 - But you aren't in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won't be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 5:6 - So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:2 - Don't be so easily shaken or alarmed by those who say that the day of the Lord has already begun. Don't believe them, even if they claim to have had a spiritual vision, a revelation, or a letter supposedly from us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 2:4 - He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call god and every object of worship. He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.

Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 1:3 - Timothy, I thank God for you—the God I serve with a clear conscience, just as my ancestors did. Night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:3 - Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:9 - And because I preach this Good News, I am suffering and have been chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 2:17 - This kind of talk spreads like cancer,[fn] as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ti 3:9 - But they won't get away with this for long. Someday everyone will recognize what fools they are, just as with Jannes and Jambres.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:5 - I left you on the island of Crete so you could complete our work there and appoint elders in each town as I instructed you.
Unchecked Copy BoxTit 1:7 - An elder[fn] is a manager of God's household, so he must live a blameless life. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered; he must not be a heavy drinker,[fn] violent, or dishonest with money.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:9 - But because of our love, I prefer simply to ask you. Consider this as a request from me—Paul, an old man and now also a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:16 - He is no longer like a slave to you. He is more than a slave, for he is a beloved brother, especially to me. Now he will mean much more to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:17 - So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 1:11 - They will perish, but you remain forever.
They will wear out like old clothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:2 - For he was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God's entire[fn] house.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:8 - don't harden your hearts
as Israel did when they rebelled,
when they tested me in the wilderness.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:11 - So in my anger I took an oath:
‘They will never enter my place of rest.'”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 3:15 - Remember what it says:
“Today when you hear his voice,
don't harden your hearts
as Israel did when they rebelled.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 6:19 - This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 11:9 - And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreigner, living in tents. And so did Isaac and Jacob, who inherited the same promise.

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:27 - This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:3 - Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 13:17 - Obey your spiritual leaders, and do what they say. Their work is to watch over your souls, and they are accountable to God. Give them reason to do this with joy and not with sorrow. That would certainly not be for your benefit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:10 - And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them. They will fade away like a little flower in the field.

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 5:5 - You have spent your years on earth in luxury, satisfying your every desire. You have fattened yourselves for the day of slaughter.

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:19 - It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.

“People are like grass;
their beauty is like a flower in the field.

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:11 - Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:12 - Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:13 - For the Lord's sake, respect all human authority—whether the king as head of state,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:14 - or the officials he has appointed. For the king has sent them to punish those who do wrong and to honor those who do right.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:16 - For you are free, yet you are God's slaves, so don't use your freedom as an excuse to do evil.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 2:25 - Once you were like sheep
who wandered away.
But now you have turned to your Shepherd,
the Guardian of your souls.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:6 - For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:7 - In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 3:16 - But do this in a gentle and respectful way.[fn] Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:10 - God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:11 - Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others?

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:12 - Dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:15 - If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people's affairs.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:16 - But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name!
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 4:19 - So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:3 - Don't lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:8 - Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:12 - I have written and sent this short letter to you with the help of Silas,[fn] whom I commend to you as a faithful brother. My purpose in writing is to encourage you and assure you that what you are experiencing is truly part of God's grace for you. Stand firm in this grace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:19 - Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place—until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines[fn] in your hearts.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:1 - But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 2:12 - These false teachers are like unthinking animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed. They scoff at things they do not understand, and like animals, they will be destroyed.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:8 - But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:16 - speaking of these things in all of his letters. Some of his comments are hard to understand, and those who are ignorant and unstable have twisted his letters to mean something quite different, just as they do with other parts of Scripture. And this will result in their destruction.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 1:7 - But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
Unchecked Copy Box1Jo 2:27 - But you have received the Holy Spirit,[fn] and he lives within you, so you don't need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit[fn] teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Jo 1:5 - I am writing to remind you, dear friends,[fn] that we should love one another. This is not a new commandment, but one we have had from the beginning.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:7 - And don't forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God's judgment.
