Bible verses about "acknowledging god" | Darby

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. ³ And God said, Let there be light. And there was light. ⁴ And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness. ⁵ And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day. ⁶ And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a division between waters and waters. ⁷ And God made the expanse, and divided between the waters that are under the expanse and the waters that are above the expanse; and it was so. ⁸ And God called the expanse Heavens. And there was evening, and there was morning -- a second day. ⁹ And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry [land] appear. And it was so. ¹⁰ And God called the dry [land] Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. ¹¹ And God said, Let the earth cause grass to spring up, herb producing seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which is in them, on the earth. And it was so. ¹² And the earth brought forth grass, herb producing seed after its kind, and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which is in them, after their kind. And God saw that it was good. ¹³ And there was evening, and there was morning -- a third day. ¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; ¹⁵ and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so. ¹⁶ And God made the two great lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night, -- and the stars. ¹⁷ And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth, ¹⁸ and to rule during the day and during the night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good. ¹⁹ And there was evening, and there was morning -- a fourth day. ²⁰ And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living souls, and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of the heavens. ²¹ And God created the great sea monsters, and every living soul that moves with which the waters swarm, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply on the earth. ²³ And there was evening, and there was morning -- a fifth day. ²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth living souls after their kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth, after their kind. And it was so. ²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth. ²⁷ And God created Man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. ²⁸ And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over every animal that moveth on the earth. ²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb producing seed that is on the whole earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree producing seed: it shall be food for you; ³⁰ and to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so. ³¹ And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the sixth day.

² Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

¹ Paul, bondman of Jesus Christ, [a] called apostle, separated to God`s glad tidings, <sup>2</sup> (which he had before promised by his prophets in holy writings,) <sup>3</sup> concerning his Son (come of David`s seed according to flesh, ⁴ marked out Son of God in power, according to [the] Spirit of holiness, by resurrection of [the] dead) Jesus Christ our Lord; ⁵ by whom we have received grace and apostleship in behalf of his name, for obedience of faith among all the nations, ⁶ among whom are *ye* also [the] called of Jesus Christ: ⁷ to all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and [our] Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world. ⁹ For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the glad tidings of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, ¹⁰ always beseeching at my prayers, if any way now at least I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you. ¹¹ For I greatly desire to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to establish you; ¹² that is, to have mutual comfort among you, each by the faith [which is] in the other, both yours and mine. ¹³ But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that I often proposed to come to you, (and have been hindered until the present time,) that I might have some fruit among you too, even as among the other nations also. ¹⁴ I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to wise and unintelligent: ¹⁵ so, as far as depends on me, am I ready to announce the glad tidings to you also who [are] in Rome. ¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the glad tidings; for it is God`s power to salvation, to every one that believes, both to Jew first and to Greek: <sup>17</sup> for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith. <sup>18</sup> For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness. <sup>19</sup> Because what is known of God is manifest among them, for God has manifested [it] to them, <sup>20</sup> -- for from [the] world`s creation the invisible things of him are perceived, being apprehended by the mind through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, -- so as to render them inexcusable. ²¹ Because, knowing God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened: ²² professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, ²³ and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into [the] likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles. ²⁴ Wherefore God gave them up [also] in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies between themselves: ²⁵ who changed the truth of God into falsehood, and honoured and served the creature more than him who had created [it], who is blessed for ever. Amen. ²⁶ For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature; ²⁷ and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit. ²⁸ And according as they did not think good to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things; ²⁹ being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers, ³⁰ back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, ³¹ void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, unmerciful; ³² who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do [them].

¹⁶ The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

¹⁸ For thus saith Jehovah who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, he who established it, -- not as waste did he create it: he formed it to be inhabited: -- I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else.

¹ But a certain man in Caesarea, -- by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italic, ² pious, and fearing God with all his house, [both] giving much alms to the people, and supplicating God continually, ³ -- saw plainly in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius. ⁴ But he, having fixed his eyes upon him, and become full of fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms have gone up for a memorial before God. ⁵ And now send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter. ⁶ He lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. ⁷ And when the angel who was speaking to him had departed, having called two of his household and a pious soldier of those who were constantly with him, ⁸ and related all things to them, he sent them to Joppa. ⁹ And on the morrow, as these were journeying and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house to pray, about the sixth hour. ¹⁰ And he became hungry and desired to eat. But as they were making ready an ecstasy came upon him: ¹¹ and he beholds the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as a great sheet, [bound] by [the] four corners [and] let down to the earth; ¹² in which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and the fowls of the heaven. ¹³ And there was a voice to him, Rise, Peter, slay and eat. ¹⁴ And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean. ¹⁵ And [there was] a voice again the second time to him, What God has cleansed, do not *thou* make common. ¹⁶ And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven. ¹⁷ And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate, ¹⁸ and having called [some one], they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there. ¹⁹ But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee; ²⁰ but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because *I* have sent them. ²¹ And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, *I* am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come? ²² And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and borne witness to by the whole nation of the Jews, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and hear words from thee. ²³ Having therefore invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow, rising up he went away with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him. ²⁴ And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and [his] intimate friends. ²⁵ And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did [him] homage. ²⁶ But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: *I* myself also am a man. ²⁷ And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together. ²⁸ And he said to them, *Ye* know how it is unlawful for a Jew to be joined or come to one of a strange race, and to *me* God has shewn to call no man common or unclean. ²⁹ Wherefore also, having been sent for, I came without saying anything against it. I inquire therefore for what reason ye have sent for me. ³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days ago I had been [fasting] unto this hour, and the ninth [I was] praying in my house, and lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing, ³¹ and said, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thy alms have come in remembrance before God. ³² Send therefore to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea [who when he is come will speak to thee]. ³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and *thou* hast well done in coming. Now therefore *we* are all present before God to hear all things that are commanded thee of God. ³⁴ And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons, ³⁵ but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him. ³⁶ The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (*he* is Lord of all things,) ³⁷ *ye* know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached -- ³⁸ Jesus who [was] of Nazareth: how God anointed him with [the] Holy Spirit and with power; who went through [all quarters] doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. ³⁹ *We* also [are] witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross. ⁴⁰ This [man] God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen, ⁴¹ not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, *us* who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among [the] dead. ⁴² And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that *he* it is who was determinately appointed of God [to be] judge of living and dead. ⁴³ To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins. ⁴⁴ While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word. ⁴⁵ And the faithful of the circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, that upon the nations also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out: ⁴⁶ for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered, ⁴⁷ Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also [did]? ⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay some days.

¹⁵ but sanctify [the] Lord the Christ in your hearts, and [be] always prepared to [give] an answer [to] every one that asks you to give an account of the hope that [is] in you, but with meekness and fear;

²⁸ And according as they did not think good to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things; ²⁹ being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers, ³⁰ back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, ³¹ void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, unmerciful;

¹¹ Thou art worthy, O our Lord and [our] God, to receive glory and honour and power; for *thou* hast created all things, and for thy will they were, and they have been created.

⁵ Confide in Jehovah with all thy heart, and lean not unto thine own intelligence; ⁶ in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will make plain thy paths.
