He who is not against us is for us;

"Rabbi," they said, "Moses made it a law for us: 'If a man's brother should die and leave a wife, but no child, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.'

Then he will himself show you a large room upstairs, ready furnished: there make preparation for us."

and they were saying to one another, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"

And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of David His servant--

for he loves our nation, and at his own expense he built our synagogue for us."

As soon as the Master of the house shall have risen and shut the door, and you have begun to stand outside and knock at the door and say, "'Sir, open the door for us' --"'I do not know you,' He answers; 'you are no friends of mine.'

It took several days of slow sailing for us to come with difficulty off Cnidus; from which point, as the wind did not allow us to get on in the direct course, we ran under the lee of Crete by Salmone.

They also loaded us with honours, and when at last we sailed they put supplies on board for us.

who was surrendered to death because of the offences we had committed, and was raised to life because of the acquittal secured for us.

and that this hope never disappoints, because God's love for us floods our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners.

In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what prayers to offer nor in what way to offer them. But the Spirit Himself pleads for us in yearnings that can find no words,

Who is there to condemn them? Christ Jesus died, or rather has risen to life again. He is also at the right hand of God, and is interceding for us.

As for us who are strong, our duty is to bear with the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not seek our own pleasure.

But you--and it is all God's doing--are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance;

For us, however, God has drawn aside the veil through the teaching of the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, including the depths of the divine nature.

Every one of you already has all that heart can desire; already you have grown rich; without waiting for us, you have ascended your thrones! Yes indeed, would to God that you had ascended your thrones, that we also might reign with you!

while you on your part lend us your aid in entreaty for us, so that from many lips thanksgivings may rise on our behalf for the boon granted to us at the intercession of many.

For this our light and transitory burden of suffering is achieving for us a preponderating, yes, a vastly preponderating, and eternal weight of glory;

He has made Him who knew nothing of sin to be sin for us, in order that in Him we may become the righteousness of God.

Make room for us in your hearts. There is not one of you whom we have wronged, not one to whom we have done harm, not one over whom we have gained any selfish advantage.

Christ has purchased our freedom from the curse of the Law by becoming accursed for us--because "Cursed is every one who is hanged upon a tree."

And pray at the same time for us also, that God may open for us a door for preaching, for us to tell the truth concerning Christ for the sake of which I am even a prisoner.

For it was not only from you that the Master's Message sounded forth throughout Macedonia and Greece; but everywhere your faith in God has become known, so that it is unnecessary for us to say anything about it.

For now life is for us life indeed, since you are standing fast in the Lord.

Brethren, pray for us.

Keep on praying for us; for we are sure that we have clear consciences, and we desire to live nobly in every respect.

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.

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, as for us, we know the love which God has for us, and we confide in it. God is love, and he who continues to love continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him.
