'To the Lord' in the Bible

It is for your benefit that I say this, not to put a halter on you, but to promote good order, and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.

If I am not an apostle to other people, I certainly am one to you, for you yourselves, in your relation to the Lord, are the certificate of my apostleship.

for the earth and everything in it belongs to the Lord.

If Timothy reaches you, put him at his ease among you, for he is devoted to the Lord's work, just as I am.
