John 4 Cross References - MNT

¹ Accordingly when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John," ² (though Jesus himself was not accustomed to baptize, but his disciples), ³ he left Judea and returned to Galilee. ⁴ Now he had to pass through Samaria; ⁵ so he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. ⁶ Jacob's Spring was there. So Jesus, tired out with his journey, was sitting thus by the spring. ⁷ It was about noon, and a woman of Samaria came to draw water. ⁸ Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink" (for his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.) ⁹ "How is it," answered the Samaritan woman, "that you who are a Jew ask a drink from me, a woman, and a Samaritan?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) ¹⁰ "If you had known the free gift of God," Jesus answered, "and who it is that says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water." ¹¹ "Sir," said the woman, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; whence have you that living water? ¹² Surely you are not greater than our Father Jacob, who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle, too?" ¹³ "All who drink of this water," Jesus answered, "will thirst again; ¹⁴ but whoever once drinks of the water that I will give him, shall never thirst any more, but the water that I will give him shall become a living spring of water within him, welling up into eternal life." ¹⁵ "Sir!" exclaimed the woman, "give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty, nor come all this way to draw water." ¹⁶ Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and then come here." ¹⁷ "I have no husband," answered the woman. "You are right in saying 'I have no husband,'" Jesus said to her, ¹⁸ "for you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband; in this you have spoken truly." ¹⁹ "I see, Sir, that you are a prophet," replied the woman. ²⁰ "Our forefathers worshiped in this mountain, yet you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship." ²¹ "Woman, believe me," said Jesus, "that the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. ²² You are worshiping something you do not know. we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews. ²³ But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father is seeking such as his worshipers. ²⁴ God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." ²⁵ "I know," said the woman, "that Messiah is coming, who is called the Christ; when he has come he will tell us everything." ²⁶ Jesus said to her, "I who am now talking to you, am he." ²⁷ Just then his disciples came up, and were astonished that he was talking with a woman; yet not one of them asked him, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?" ²⁸ Then the woman left her water-jar, and went away into the city and began saying to the people. ²⁹ "Come! see a man who has told me everything that I ever did. He can't be the Christ, can he?" ³⁰ They left the city and set out to go to him. ³¹ Meanwhile the disciples kept urging him. ³² "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."

"Go your way. Your son lives." And the man believed the word which Jesus spoke to him, and started to go home. ⁵¹ And when he was already on his way down, his slaves met him, saying that his boy was living. ⁵² So he asked them at what hour he had begun mend.

My time is not yet come." ⁵ His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he may tell you to do, do it." ⁶ Now there were six stone water-jars standing there, according to the Jewish rites of purification, each holding about twenty gallons. ⁷ Jesus said, "Fill up the jars with water." ⁸ So they filled them brimful. Then he said, "Draw some out now, and carry it to the master of the feast." ⁹ So they carried it. And when the master of the feast had tasted of the water which had been made wine, not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn it knew, he called the bridegroom and said to him. ¹⁰ "Everybody serves first the good wine, and when people have drunk freely, the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now." ¹¹ This beginning of signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and showed forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him there.

¹¹ This beginning of signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and showed forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him there.

¹³ Now the Passover of the Jews was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁴ There he found in the temple those who were selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting there. ¹⁵ So he plaited a scourge of rushes, and drove all out of the temple—both the sheep and oxen. He began to pour out the coins of the money-changers, and to overturn their tables, ¹⁶ and said to those who were selling doves. "Take these things away! Make not my Father's house a house of trade!

¹⁸ Then the Jews asked Jesus, "What sign are you going to show us, seeing that you do these things?"

²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, when they beheld the signs which he did; ²⁴ but for his part Jesus was not trusting himself to them, because he knew all men, ²⁵ and did not need any one's testimony concerning man, for he himself knew what was in man.

² This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him. "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God; for no man can do these signs which you are continually doing, unless God is with him."

⁴ "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus replied; "Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"

¹⁴ And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, ¹⁵ in order that every one who believes in him may have eternal life. ¹⁶ "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever trusts in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever trusts in him should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. ¹⁸ He who trusts in him is not condemned, but he who does not trust has already been condemned, because he has not put his trust in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

²² After this Jesus and his disciples went into the countryside of Judea, and there he was staying with them and baptizing.

²⁶ "Rabbi, see! The man who was with you on the other side of Jordan, and to whom you yourself have borne testimony, is now baptizing, and everybody is coming to him."

³² He bears testimony to what he has heard and seen, yet no one receives his testimony.

³ he left Judea and returned to Galilee.

⁵ so he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. ⁶ Jacob's Spring was there. So Jesus, tired out with his journey, was sitting thus by the spring. ⁷ It was about noon, and a woman of Samaria came to draw water. ⁸ Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink" (for his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.) ⁹ "How is it," answered the Samaritan woman, "that you who are a Jew ask a drink from me, a woman, and a Samaritan?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) ¹⁰ "If you had known the free gift of God," Jesus answered, "and who it is that says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water."

¹² Surely you are not greater than our Father Jacob, who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle, too?"

¹⁴ but whoever once drinks of the water that I will give him, shall never thirst any more, but the water that I will give him shall become a living spring of water within him, welling up into eternal life."

¹⁷ "I have no husband," answered the woman. "You are right in saying 'I have no husband,'" Jesus said to her, ¹⁸ "for you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband; in this you have spoken truly."

¹⁸ "for you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband; in this you have spoken truly."

²¹ "Woman, believe me," said Jesus, "that the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²³ But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father is seeking such as his worshipers.

²⁵ "I know," said the woman, "that Messiah is coming, who is called the Christ; when he has come he will tell us everything."

²⁵ "I know," said the woman, "that Messiah is coming, who is called the Christ; when he has come he will tell us everything." ²⁶ Jesus said to her, "I who am now talking to you, am he." ²⁷ Just then his disciples came up, and were astonished that he was talking with a woman; yet not one of them asked him, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

²⁹ "Come! see a man who has told me everything that I ever did. He can't be the Christ, can he?" ³⁰ They left the city and set out to go to him.

³² "Rabbi," they said, "eat something." But he answered, "I have food to eat of which you know nothing."

³⁴ Jesus said to them. "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

³⁹ Many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman when she declared, "He told me everything that I ever did." ⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans arrived, they began asking him to remain with them; and he stayed there two days. ⁴¹ Then many more believed because of what he said, himself; and they told the woman. ⁴² "We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard him, and we know that this is certainly the Saviour of the world."

⁴² "We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard him, and we know that this is certainly the Saviour of the world."

⁴⁵ When he reached Galilee, however, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they, too, had been at the feast. ⁴⁶ So he came back again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. Now there was one of the king's officers whose son was lying ill at Capernaum.

⁵⁰ Jesus answered. "Go your way. Your son lives." And the man believed the word which Jesus spoke to him, and started to go home.

⁵³ Then the father realized that it had left him at the very hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son lives," and he himself believed, and his whole household. ⁵⁴ This is the second sign which Jesus performed, on returning from Judea to Galilee.

²⁵ "Solemnly I tell you that the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear shall live.

²⁸ "Do not wonder at this, because an hour is coming in which all who are in their graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth again;

³⁰ "I can of my own self do nothing. As I listen, I judge, and my own judgment is just, because I am not seeking my own will, but the will of Him who sent me.

³⁶ "But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the work which the Father has given me to bring to completion—the work which I am doing—bears testimony concerning me, that the Father has sent me.

⁵ he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" ⁶ He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he intended to do. ⁷ "Thirty-five dollars worth of bread," answered Philip, "is not enough for them, so that each can take a morsel."

¹⁴ So when the people saw the sign which he had performed, they said, "This is in the truth the Prophet who is to come into the world."

²⁶ Jesus answered. "In solemn truth I tell you that you are looking for me, not because you saw miracles signs, but because you ate of the bread and were filled. ²⁷ "Labor not for food which perishes, but for the food that endures eternal life—that which the Son of man will give you; for on the Father—God—has set his seal."

³³ "for the bread of God is what come down from heaven, and gives life to the world." ³⁴ "Ah, Sir," said they, "evermore give us this bread." ³⁵ "I myself am the bread of life," answered Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst again.

³⁸ "For I am come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

⁴⁹ "Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; yet they died.

⁵¹ "I myself am the living bread that has come down from heaven. Any one who eats this bread will live forever; and moreover, the bread which I will give is my flesh, given for the life of the world."

⁵⁸ "This is the bread which came down from heaven; not such as your fathers ate and died, for he who feeds upon this bread shall live forever."

⁶³ "The spirit is what gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words which I have been speaking to you, are spirit and are life.

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered. "To whom shall we go Master? You have words of eternal life; ⁶⁹ "and we have learned to believe and we know that you are the holy one of God."

²⁶ "And look! he is speaking boldly and they are saying nothing to him. Can it possibly be that the rulers have really discovered that he is the Christ?

³¹ But many of the crowd believed on him and began to say, "The Christ, when he comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?"

³⁷ Now the last day, that the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried in a loud voice. ³⁸ "If any man thirst let him come to me and drink. From the heart of him who believes in me will flow, as the Scripture said, rivers of living water." ³⁹ Now he said this concerning the Spirit whom those who believed in him should receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified. ⁴⁰ Some of the crowd who had been listening to these discourses began to say, "Without a doubt this man is a Prophet."

⁴⁶ The officers answered, "Never yet did a man speak like this man."

²⁴ "That is why I said that you would die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

⁴⁸ In reply the Jews said to him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan, and you also have a demon?"

⁵³ "You are not greater than our father Abraham, are you? And he died, and the prophets died. Who are you making yourself out to be?"

¹⁷ So there was a difference of opinion among them. Accordingly they said to the blind man, "What have you to say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" "He is a prophet," he answered.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of man?"

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of man?" ³⁶ "Who is he, Sir," he replied, "that I may believe on him."

³⁶ "Who is he, Sir," he replied, "that I may believe on him." ³⁷ "You have already seen him," Jesus answered, "and it is he who now speaks to you."

³⁷ "You have already seen him," Jesus answered, "and it is he who now speaks to you." ³⁸ "I do believe, Sir," said the man, and he prostrated himself at his feet. And Jesus said,

¹⁰ "The thief never comes except to steal and kill and destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it in abundance.

⁴⁰ and went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained. ⁴¹ Many who came to him said, "John did not perform any signs, but everything he said about this man was true." ⁴² And many believed on him there.

⁹ Jesus replied. "Are there not twelve hours in the daytime? If any one walks in the daytime he does not stumble, because he beholds the light of this world;

¹⁷ so when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been four days in the tomb.

²¹ Then Martha said to Jesus. "Master, had you been here my brother would not have died;

²⁶ And every one who is living and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

³² When Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you been here, my brother would not have died."

⁴⁰ Jesus answered her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you should see the glory of God?"

⁴⁵ Many of the Jews, therefore, who had come with Mary, and had seen what he did, believed on him;

⁵⁴ Jesus therefore no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the desert to a town called Ephraim,

²³ "The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.

³⁷ With these words Jesus went away and hid himself from them. But although he had wrought such signs in their presence, still they did not believe in him.

⁶ Jesus answered him. "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man ever comes to the Father but by me.

¹⁶ "and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter to be with you forever, the Spirit of Truth. ¹⁷ "The world cannot receive him because it does not see him nor know him, but you know him, for he is ever with you and within you. ¹⁸ "I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you. ¹⁹ "Yet a little while and the world shall see me no more, but you shall see me; because I live, you, too, shall live.

²⁴ "If I had not done among them such works as none ever did, they would have had no sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

² "They will excommunicate you from their synagogues; indeed the time is coming when any one who kills you will suppose that he is doing God's service. ³ "And they will do these things because they have not known my Father, nor me.

³² "behold the hour approaches and is already come when you will be scattered, each man to his home, and will leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

² since thou hast given him authority over all mankind, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. ³ And this is eternal life, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

³ And this is eternal life, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. ⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

⁸ for I have given them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

²⁸ After that, when Jesus knew that everything was now accomplished, he said in fulfilment of the words of Scripture, "I am thirsty."

³⁰ Then after he had taken the vinegar, Jesus said, "IT IS FINISHED!" And bowing his head, he yielded up his spirit.

²⁹ "Because you have seen me, Thomas, you have believed," Jesus told him. "Blessed are those who, without seeing, yet believed."

² There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called "The Twin," and Nathanael, from Cana of Galilee, and the two sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

¹⁷ The third time Jesus asked him, "Am I really dear to you?" Peter was grieved because the third time he asked, "Am I really dear to you?" and he answered, "Master, you know all things, you know that you are dear to me."

⁸ "yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you are to be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the very ends of the earth."

¹⁹ In the sky above I will show marvels, And signs in the earth beneath; Blood and fire, and vapor of smoke.

²² "Men of Israel, listen to these words. Jesus the Nazarene, a man accredited to you by God, through mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him among you, as you yourselves know;

³⁹ "For the promise belongs to you and to your children and to all who are afar off, whomever the Lord may call."

⁴¹ Then those who welcomed his message were baptized, and in that day about three thousand souls were added to them;

⁴³ And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were wrought by the apostles.

⁴ But many of those who had heard the message believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

¹² "There is no salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men, in which we must be saved."

³⁰ "whilst thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal; grant too, that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant, Jesus."

³² Now the multitude of the believers was of one heart and one soul, nor did any one of them say that any of his possessions was his own; but they had all things common.

¹² Many signs and wonders continued to be wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles, and by common consent they all would meet in Solomon's Porch,

¹⁴ Yet the people continued to hold them in high honor, and more and more believers in the Lord were joining them, both men and women.

⁷ And the word of the Lord continued to spread; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was increasing exceedingly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith. ⁸ Meanwhile Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.

¹⁴ "For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which were handed down to us by Moses."

³⁶ "This was he who brought them out, after he had shown signs and wonders in the wilderness, for forty years.

⁴ So those who were scattered abroad were going everywhere preaching the word. ⁵ Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and began to preach Christ there. ⁶ The crowd with one accord were giving heed to what he said, when they heard and saw the signs that he did. ⁷ For with a loud cry unclean spirits would come out of many possessed by them, and many that were palsied and lame were healed. ⁸ There began to be great joy in that city.

¹² But when they believed Philip, who was preaching glad tidings about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they began to be baptized, both men and women.

¹⁴ The apostle at Jerusalem, when they heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, sent to them Peter and John. ¹⁵ Who came down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit, ¹⁶ For he had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then the apostles laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

²⁵ So the apostles, after bearing solemn witness, and declaring the message of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, evangelizing many Samaritan villages as they went.

¹¹ And the Lord said to him. "Arise, go into the street named 'Straight,' and make inquiries in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus, one Saul.

³⁸ And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, when they heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the entreaty, "Delay not to come to us."

²⁸ To them he said: "You know, yourselves, that it is illegal for a Jew to associate with or to visit one of another nation; but God has taught me that I should not call any man common or unclean. For this reason, when sent for, I came without demur.

³³ "So I sent for you without delay, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to listen to what the Lord has commanded you to speak."

³⁶ "You cannot but know the message which he sent to the descendants of Israel, when he preached the gospel of peace by Jesus Christ who is Lord of all; ³⁷ "you know the message spread throughout all Judea, beginning in Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; ³⁸ "how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about everywhere doing good, and curing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.

⁴² "when he charged us to preach to the people, and to testify that this was he whom God ordained to be the judge of the living and of the dead. ⁴³ "To him all the prophets bear witness, testifying that through his name every one that believes on him will receive remission of sins."

⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain with them for a time.

¹⁴ "'He will speak words to you by which you and all your family will be saved.'

⁴² As Paul and Barnabas left the synagogue, the people earnestly begged that these words might be repeated to them on the following Sabbath.

³ Long time, therefore, they tarried there, speaking fearlessly in the Lord, who attested the word of his grace by permitting signs and wonders to be performed by their hands.

⁹ He was listening while Paul was preaching, and Paul, looking intently at him, and perceiving that he had faith to be made whole, ¹⁰ said in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet!"

³ So the church saw them off on their journey, and they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria. Here they set forth the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the brothers.

¹² Then the whole assembly remained silent, and listened to Barnabas and Saul as they told the signs and wonders which God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.

¹⁵ When she was baptized, and her household, she urged us, saying, "If in your judgment I am a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house." And she compelled us to come.

³⁰ and brought them out, saying, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" ³¹ "Believe on the Lord Jesus," they answered, "and you will be saved, you and all your household." ³² Then they spoke the message of the Lord to him, as well as to all who were in his house. ³³ And he took them, the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he was baptized at once, he and all his. ³⁴ And after bringing them up into his house, he set food before them, overjoyed with all his household in having believed in God.

³⁴ And after bringing them up into his house, he set food before them, overjoyed with all his household in having believed in God.

¹¹ The Jews of Berea were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they very readily received the message with all readiness of mind, and day after day searched the Scriptures to see whether these things were so. ¹² So many of them became believers, and so did not a few Greeks, women of honorable estate, and men.

²³ "For as I was passing along and observing your objects of worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' What you are worshiping in ignorance, this I am proclaiming to you.

³⁰ "The times of ignorance God overlooked, but he now commands all men that they should all, everywhere, repent;

⁸ And Crispus, the warden of the synagogue, believed on the Lord, with all his household; and many of the Corinthians from time to time listened, believed, and were baptized.

³⁵ "In all things I have set you an example, how that so toiling, you ought to help the weak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."

²⁸ "Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation of God is now sent unto the Gentiles. They will listen to it."

⁹ God is my witness, to whom I render holy service in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I am ever making mention of you in my prayers,

¹³ I want you to know, brothers, that many a time I have planned to come to you—though until now I have been hindered—so as to have some harvest-fruit among you also, even as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.

¹ What special privilege, then, has the Jew? Or what is the use of circumcision? ² Much in every way. First of all, because to them were entrusted the oracles of God.

²⁰ Nor did he with regard to the promise of God waver in unbelief, but he waxed strong in faith, while he gave God glory, ²¹ and was fully persuaded that what God had promised, he was able also to perform.

²⁰ Now law was brought in so that transgression might abound; but where sin abounded, grace super-abounded; ²¹ in order that as sin has ruled as king in death, so also grace might rule as king in righteousness which issues in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord,—ours!

²² But now that you have been set free from sin and become slaves of God, the harvest-fruit which you are reaping tends to produce holiness, and it ends is life eternal. ²³ FOR THE POOR WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE FREE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, OUR MASTER.

³ So then, if during her husband lifetime, she unites herself with another man, she will be counted an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the Law, so that she is no adulteress, even if she unites herself with another man.

⁵ For they who live after the flesh, give their attention to the things of the flesh; But they who live after the spirit, give their attention to spiritual things.

¹⁵ For you have not received a spirit of slavery in order that you should once more be afraid; but you have received a spirit of adoption, in which we cry out, "My Father, my dear Father!" ¹⁶ For his Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God; ¹⁷ and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ; but to share his glory, we must now be sharing his sufferings.

²⁶ In the same way the Spirit also takes hold with us in our weakness; for we know knot how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

³² He that spared not his own Son, But freely delivered him up for us all, How shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

⁴ For they are Israelites; to them belong the sonship, the Shekinah glory, the covenants, the giving of the Law; the service of the temple, and the promises; ⁵ theirs are the patriarchs, and of them, as concerning the flesh, is Christ, who is over all, God, blessed forever, Amen.

¹¹ The Scriptures say, Whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame. ¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile, because the same Lord Jesus is all over, and is rich unto all who call upon Him; ¹³ for Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.

²⁰ But Isaiah speaks very boldly, I was found of those who were not seeking me, I was made manifest to those who were not asking for me. ²¹ But to Israel he says, All day long I have been spreading out my hands unto a disobedient and contrary people.

⁸ For I say that Christ has been made a minister of the Circumcision the people of Israel, in vindication of God's truth, so that he may confirm the promises given to our forefathers;

¹⁹ through the might of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit. So that beginning at Jerusalem and its environs, I have proclaimed without reserve the gospel of Christ, even as far as Illyricum.

¹³ Has Christ been divided? Paul, was he crucified for you? or was it into the name of Paul that you were baptized? ¹⁴ I am thankful to God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so that no one can say you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ Yes, I did baptize the house of Stephanas also, but I do not think I baptized any one else. ¹⁷ For Christ did not think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing.

²² Jews continue to ask for miracles and Greeks are ever wanting philosophy,

³⁰ It is of him that you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

⁴ My message and my preaching were not in the persuasive language of philosophy, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power; ⁵ in order that your faith should rest, not on human philosophy, but on the power of God.

⁸ None of the rulers of the present age understands it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.

¹⁴ The unspiritual man rejects the teachings of God's Spirit; for him it is folly. He cannot understand it, for it is spiritually discerned,

⁵ What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Just ministers through whom you have believed, and each doing the work that the Lord gave him. ⁶ I planted, Apollos watered, but God made the seed grow. ⁷ So neither is he who planted anything, nor he who watered, but God alone, who is making the seed grow. ⁸ Now, though he who plants and he who waters are one, each will receive his own reward, according to his own service. ⁹ For we are God's fellow workers; and you are God's field, you are God's building.

¹⁰ But to those already married my commandment is—and not mine, but the Lord's—that a wife is not to leave her husband; ¹¹ (or if she has already left him let her either remain as she is, or be reconciled to him), and also that a husband is not to put away his wife.

¹⁹ Though free from all men, I make myself the slave of all, that I may win the more. ²⁰ To the Jews I am become like a Jew, that I may win Jews; to those under the Law, like one under the Law, though I am not under the Law, myself; ²¹ to those outside the Law, as one outside the Law, to win those outside the Law (though I am not outside the law of God, but inside the law of Christ). ²² I am become weak to the weak, to win the weak. I am become all these things to all men that, by any and by all means, I may save some. ²³ And I am doing it all for the gospel's sake, that I may become a copartner in it.

⁴ and all drank from the same spiritual stream, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

²⁴ But if all are prophesying when an unlearned or unbelieving man enters, he is convicted in conscience by your speaker, he feels himself judged by all, ²⁵ and the secret depths of his heart are laid open. So he will fall upon his face and worship God, saying, "Of a truth, God is with you."

⁴⁷ The first man is of the earth, earthly; the second Man is of heaven.

¹² For this is my proud boast, the testimony of my conscience, that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God, that I have conducted myself in the world, and above all in my relations with you.

²² He has also set his seal upon me, and given me the pledge of his Spirit in my heart.

¹⁷ (The Lord means the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord abides there is freedom.)

⁵ It is not myself that I proclaim, but Christ Jesus as Master, and myself that I proclaim, and myself your slave for Jesus' sake.

¹⁹ how that God was in Christ reconciling a world to himself, not reckoning to men their trespasses; and that to me he has entrusted the message of that reconciliation.

¹ As a worker with him I beseech you not to receive the grace of God in vain. ² For he said: In an acceptable time have I heard thee, And in the day of salvation have I succored thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time! behold, now is the day of salvation!

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he was rich, for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

¹⁵ THANKS BE TO GOD FOR HIS UNSPEAKABLE GIFT!

¹² In truth the signs of the true apostle were wrought among you in all patience by signs and marvels and powers.

⁶ And because you are sons, God sent forth the spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Dear, dear Father!"

¹³ And in him, because you listened to the proclamation of the truth, the evangel of your salvation, and trusted it, you Gentiles too were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, ¹⁴ who for the praise of his glory is the pledge of our common heritage, unto the complete redemption of his purchased property.

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is God's gift.

¹⁸ because it is through him that we both have access in one spirit to the Father.

¹⁴ For this cause I bend my knees before the Father,

¹⁵ that you may become blameless and innocent, the sons of God, without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine like stars in a dark world, ¹⁶ holding out a message of life. Thus it will be my boast at the day of Christ that I have not run in vain, or toiled for nothing.

³ For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and make our boast in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in outward rites,

¹⁹ For what is my hope, or joy? What is the victor's wreath in which I exult? What but your own selves in the presence of our Lord Jesus, at his coming!

⁹ even he whose coming is according to the energy of Satan, in every power and sign and lying wonder,

¹⁷ Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be glory and honor forever and ever. Amen!

⁸ My wish, then, is that in every place the men should offer prayer, lifting up holy hands, free from anger and disputation;

¹⁰ "We toil and agonize because our hopes are set on the ever-living God, who is the Saviour of all men,—of believers in particular.

¹⁶ Give heed to yourself and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by doing this you will save both yourself and your hearers.

⁷ I have fought in the glorious contest; I have run the race; I have kept the faith. ⁸ Henceforth there is laid up for me the garland of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that Day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

⁴ God himself corroborating their testimony by signs and wonders and a variety of miraculous powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit imparted in accordance with his own will.

¹⁷ And so it was necessary that he should in all points be made like his brothers, so that he might become a compassionate and faithful high priest, in all that relates to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

³ Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built a house has higher honor than the house itself.

¹³ And there is not a creature hidden form him, but all things are naked and laid prostrate before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

¹⁵ For we have not a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin.

¹⁴ For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing concerning the priesthood.

¹⁹ For he accounted God able even to raise from the dead, from whence, figuratively speaking, he did indeed receive him back again.

² looking unto Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured a cross, despising shame, and has now taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

⁴ Let marriage be held in honor by all, and the marriage bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers will God judge.

¹ My brothers, do not hold the faith of the Lord Jesus, the Lord of Glory, in a spirit of caste.

³ You continue to ask and do not receive, because you are asking with a wrong purpose, in order to spend it upon your pleasures.

¹⁹ My brothers, if any one of you strays from the truth, and some one brings him back, ²⁰ let him know that he who brings a sinner back from the error of his ways, saves his soul from death, and hides a multitude of sins.

¹¹ They were searching to know to what time, or to what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them kept pointing, when he ever testified beforehand concerning the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. ¹² It was revealed to them that it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were ministering the truths which have now been announced to you, by those who preached the gospel to you, through the help of the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven—truths into which angels long to look.

¹⁷ And since you call upon him as Father, who impartially judges each one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojourning here in reverence.

²² Now that by obedience to the truth you have purified your lives for a brotherly love without hypocrisy, you must love one another from your hearts, fervently.

⁹ But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people, that you may show forth the virtues of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light—

¹⁴ and we have beheld and do testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God is come, and has granted us and understanding, so that we may come to know him who is true. And we are in him who is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and life eternal.

²⁰ But you, beloved, continually building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and ever praying in the Holy Spirit, ²¹ must keep yourselves in the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, which ends in life eternal.

¹⁷ He who has ears, let him listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To him that overcomes I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no man knows, but he that receives it.

²³ And moreover, her children will I kill with pestilence. And all the churches shall know that I am he who searches the hearts and souls of men. I will give to each of you according to his works.

¹⁷ For you keep saying, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and do not know that you are the wretched one, and pitiable and beggared and blind and naked. ¹⁸ I advise you to buy of me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white raiment to clothe yourself, so that the shame of your nakedness may not be made manifest; and eye-salve to anoint your eyes, in order that you may see.

²⁰ Behold, I am standing at the door and knocking! If any one listens to my voice, and opens the door, I will come to him, and sup with him, and he with me.

¹⁶ They hunger no more, Neither thirst any more; Neither will the sun strike upon them, Nor any scorching heat; ¹⁷ For the Lamb in the midst of the throne Will shepherd them, And will lead them to fountains of living water; And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

¹⁶ And on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS

⁶ He also said: "It has now come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, The Beginning and the End. To him who thirsts I will freely give Of the spring of the Water of life.

¹ And he showed me the river of the Water of Life, clear as crystal, Flowing out from the throne of God, and of the Lamb, ² In the middle of the broad street of the City. On each side of the river was a Tree of Life, Bearing twelve kinds of fruit, Each month yielding its own fruit. And the leaves of the tree Were for the healing of the nations.

¹⁷ "And the Spirit and the Bride say 'Come!' And let him who hears, say 'Come!' And let him who thirsts, come; And whoever wills, let him take the Water of Life freely."
