'Lord' in the Bible

May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Heartfelt thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father who is full of compassion and the God who gives all comfort.

just as some few of you have recognized us as your reason for boasting, even as you will be ours, on the day of Jesus our Lord.

Not that we want to lord it over you in respect of your faith--we do, however, desire to help your joy--for in the matter of your faith you are standing firm.

But whenever the heart of the nation shall have returned to the Lord, the veil will be withdrawn.

Now by "the Lord" is meant the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, freedom is enjoyed.

And all of us, with unveiled faces, reflecting like bright mirrors the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same likeness, from one degree of radiant holiness to another, even as derived from the Lord the Spirit.

(For we do not proclaim ourselves, but we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for the sake of Jesus.)

For we know that He who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will raise us also to be with Jesus, and will cause both us and you to stand in His own presence.

We have therefore a cheerful confidence. We know that while we are at home in the body we are banished from the Lord;

So we have a cheerful confidence, and we anticipate with greater delight being banished from the body and going home to the Lord.

Therefore, because we realize how greatly the Lord is to be feared, we are endeavouring to win men over, and God recognizes what our motives are, and I hope that you, in your hearts, recognize them too.

Therefore, "'Come out from among them and separate yourselves,' says the Lord, 'and touch nothing impure; and I will receive you, and will be a Father to you,

and you shall be My sons and daughters,' says the Lord the Ruler of all."

They not only did this, as we had expected, but first of all in obedience to God's will they gave their own selves to the Lord and to us.

For you know the condescending goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ--how for your sakes He became poor, though He was rich, in order that you through His poverty might grow rich.

If, however, I were to boast more loudly of our Apostolic authority, which the Lord has given us that we may build you up, not pull you down, I should have no reason to feel ashamed.

But "whoever boasts, let his boast be in the Lord."

For it is not the man that commends himself who is really approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--He who is blessed throughout the Ages--knows that I am speaking the truth.

I am compelled to boast. It is not a profitable employment, but I will proceed to visions and revelations granted me by the Lord.

As for this, three times have I besought the Lord to rid me of him;

For this reason I write thus while absent, that when present I may not have to act severely in the exercise of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for pulling down.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
