If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?

The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed."

Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.

He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been placed.

All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.

(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)

He who believes in him is not judged. He who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."

John answered, "A man can receive nothing, unless it has been given to him from heaven.

You yourselves bear me witness that I said, 'I am not the Messiah,' but, 'I have been sent before him.'

5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?"

The Jewish leaders therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?"

They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

They answered him, "We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'"

They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

The Jewish leaders therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,

Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.

Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died."

Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."

that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.

If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you all this time, and still you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father?'

And you will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.

about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.

Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been placed.

and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they were amazed. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

saying, "What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.

for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.

Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by the Lord."

Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News, and believe.

As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.

Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the Law.

When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, "Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,

They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.

For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.

Agrippa said to Festus, "This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."

When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, "Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.

Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.

For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse.

But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the Law and the Prophets;

Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "So will your seed be."

and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

For he who has died has been freed from sin.

But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah."

even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.

"For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?"

Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,

For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.

Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in fleshly things.

that you receive her in the Lord, in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.

25 Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the proclaiming of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages,

For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.

But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the ages for our glory,

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed.

Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

let the women keep silent in the churches, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the Law also says.

Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

If Christ has not been raised, then our proclaiming is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.

For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.

If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.

When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

For truly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.

Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia;

for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.

I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet however any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.

I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;

I have become foolish. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

Have you been thinking all this time that we have been defending ourselves before you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ; and all things, beloved, are for your edifying.

but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcision

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.

What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not. For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.

But I, brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
