'Person' in the Bible

The person who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; the person who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven, that person is My brother and sister and mother.”

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “I assure you: It will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven!

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

Nothing that goes into a person from outside can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.

Then He said, “What comes out of a person—that defiles him.

All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

“When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, don’t recline at the best place, because a more distinguished person than you may have been invited by your host.

For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

Throughout history no one has ever heard of someone opening the eyes of a person born blind.

When a woman is in labor she has pain because her time has come. But when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a person has been born into the world.

because they were provoked that they were teaching the people and proclaiming the resurrection from the dead, using Jesus as the example.

For there was not a needy person among them, because all those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,

and laid them at the apostles’ feet. This was then distributed for each person’s basic needs.

The eunuch replied to Philip, “I ask you, who is the prophet saying this about—himself or another person?”

Peter said to them, “You know it’s forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or visit a foreigner. But God has shown me that I must not call any person common or unclean.

but in every nation the person who fears Him and does righteousness is acceptable to Him.

For a person named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, provided a great deal of business for the craftsmen.

They listened to him up to this word. Then they raised their voices, shouting, “Wipe this person off the earth—it’s a disgrace for him to live!”

For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, and true circumcision is not something visible in the flesh.

On the contrary, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart—by the Spirit, not the letter. That man’s praise is not from men but from God.

For rarely will someone die for a just person—though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die.

since a person who has died is freed from sin’s claims.

One person believes he may eat anything, but one who is weak eats only vegetables.

One person considers one day to be above another day. Someone else considers every day to be the same. Each one must be fully convinced in his own mind.

The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone.

A person should consider us in this way: as servants of Christ and managers of God’s mysteries.

Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the saying: “Nothing beyond what is written.” The purpose is that none of you will be inflated with pride in favor of one person over another.

But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer who is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

But God judges outsiders. Put away the evil person from among yourselves.

I say this to your shame! Can it be that there is not one wise person among you who is able to arbitrate between his brothers?

Run from sexual immorality! “Every sin a person can commit is outside the body.” On the contrary, the person who is sexually immoral sins against his own body.

Each person should remain in the life situation in which he was called.

Brothers, each person should remain with God in whatever situation he was called.

Then the weak person, the brother for whom Christ died, is ruined by your knowledge.

No one should seek his own good, but the good of the other person.

For at the meal, each one eats his own supper ahead of others. So one person is hungry while another gets drunk!

A demonstration of the Spirit is given to each person to produce what is beneficial:

For the person who speaks in another language is not speaking to men but to God, since no one understands him; however, he speaks mysteries in the Spirit.

But the person who prophesies speaks to people for edification, encouragement, and consolation.

The person who speaks in another language builds himself up, but he who prophesies builds up the church.

I wish all of you spoke in other languages, but even more that you prophesied. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in languages, unless he interprets so that the church may be built up.

Therefore the person who speaks in another language should pray that he can interpret.

Otherwise, if you praise with the spirit, how will the uninformed person say “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?

For you may very well be giving thanks, but the other person is not being built up.

But if all are prophesying and some unbeliever or uninformed person comes in, he is convicted by all and is judged by all.

If any person speaks in another language, there should be only two, or at the most three, each in turn, and someone must interpret.

But if there is no interpreter, that person should keep silent in the church and speak to himself and to God.

But if something has been revealed to another person sitting there, the first prophet should be silent.

The punishment inflicted by the majority is sufficient for that person.

but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.

Therefore we do not give up. Even though our outer person is being destroyed, our inner person is being renewed day by day.

As it has been written:The person who gathered muchdid not have too much,and the person who gathered littledid not have too little.

Remember this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously.

Each person should do as he has decided in his heart—not reluctantly or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Now I, Paul, make a personal appeal to you by the gentleness and graciousness of Christ—I who am humble among you in person but bold toward you when absent.

Such a person should consider this: What we are in the words of our letters when absent, we will be in actions when present.

For if a person comes and preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or you receive a different spirit, which you had not received, or a different gospel, which you had not accepted, you put up with it splendidly!

I will boast about this person, but not about myself, except of my weaknesses.

Now a mediator is not for just one person, but God is one.

Brothers, if someone is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual should restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching out for yourselves so you also won’t be tempted.

But each person should examine his own work, and then he will have a reason for boasting in himself alone, and not in respect to someone else.

For each person will have to carry his own load.

For know and recognize this: Every sexually immoral or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, does not have an inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God.

For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you, for those in Laodicea, and for all who have not seen me in person.

Your speech should always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person.

But as for us, brothers, after we were forced to leave you for a short time (in person, not in heart), we greatly desired and made every effort to return and see you face to face.

Therefore, the person who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit.

And if anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take note of that person; don’t associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

We know that the law is not meant for a righteous person, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and irreverent, for those who kill their fathers and mothers, for murderers,

Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning,

knowing that such a person is perverted and sins, being self-condemned.

For the person who has entered His rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from His.

No one takes this honor on himself; instead, a person is called by God, just as Aaron was.

And each person will not teach his fellow citizen,and each his brother, saying, “Know the Lord,”because they will all know Me,from the least to the greatest of them.

And make sure that there isn’t any immoral or irreverent person like Esau, who sold his birthright in exchange for one meal.

That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires.

But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but one who does good works—this person will be blessed in what he does.

So it is a sin for the person who knows to do what is good and doesn’t do it.

The prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will restore him to health; if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

Instead, it should consist of what is inside the heart with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very valuable in God’s eyes.

The person who lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten the cleansing from his past sins.

If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For the person who does not love his brother he has seen cannot love the God he has not seen.

Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the military commanders, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

“Look! I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me to repay each person according to what he has done.
