'For Us' in the Bible

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

And the Holy Spirit is a witness for us: for after he had said,

Having therefore, brethren, entire liberty of entrance into the holies by the blood of Jesus??20 a way, which he hath consecrated for us, newly opened, and giving life, through the vail, that is, his flesh;

By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us,

but a kind of awful and terrifying expectation of [divine] judgment and the fury of a fire and burning wrath which will consume the adversaries [those who put themselves in opposition to God].

as for us, we are not such as desert to their own destruction; but such as persevere in the faith, to the saving of our souls.

God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,

Beware how you refuse to hear him who is speaking. For, if the Israelites did not escape punishment, when they refused to listen to him who taught them on earth the divine will, far worse will it be for us, if we turn away from him who is teaching us from Heaven.

Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

And I urge all of you to pray earnestly, so that I may be restored to you soon.

Of His own will He brought us forth with the Word of truth, for us to be a certain firstfruit of His creatures.

Or does it seem to you that it is for nothing that the holy Writings say, The spirit which God put into our hearts has a strong desire for us?

God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is to be praised for being so merciful as to have given us a new birth, which provides for us a hope of never ending life through the means of Jesus Christ's return from the dead.

in respect to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for us,

to whom it was revealed, that, not for themselves, but for us, they ministered the things that are now preached to you by those who have made known to you the gospel, through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; into which things angels desire to look.

who was indeed predestined before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for us,

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

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;

For the time past is sufficient for us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries.

As for us, in consequence of his promise, we expect a new heaven, and a new earth, where justice shall reside.

My little children (believers, dear ones), I am writing you these things so that you will not sin and violate God’s law. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate [who will intercede for us] with the Father: Jesus Christ the righteous [the upright, the just One, who conforms to the Father’s will in every way—purpose, thought, and action].

'Born of him!' Think what a love the Father has for us, in letting us be called 'children of God!' That is what we are. The world does not recognize us? That is simply because it did not recognize him.

As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life--because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead.

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

and we receive from Him whatever we ask because we [carefully and consistently] keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight [habitually seeking to follow His plan for us].

God's love for us has been manifested in that He has sent His only Son into the world so that we may have Life through Him.

And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins.

My loved ones, if God had such love for us, it is right for us to have love for one another.

We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him.

Here is what a complete love will do for us: It will give us boldness in [facing] the judgment day, because the way Jesus acts [regarding love] is the way we should act [while] in this world.

We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.

And this is [how we can express] boldness in our relationship with God: Whatever we ask [of God, in prayer], so long as it is in harmony with His will for us, [we know] He hears our request.

So it is right for us to take in such men as guests, so that we may take our part in the work of the true faith.

And from Jesus Christ, the true witness, the first to come back from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who had love for us and has made us clean from our sins by his blood;
