'As It is Written' in the Bible

As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, Here I send my messenger before your face to prepare the way for you:

He said to them, "Isaiah made a grand prophecy about you hypocrites ??as it is written, This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me:

As for Elijah, I tell you he has come already, and they have done to him whatever they pleased ??as it is written of him."

(as it is written in the law of the Lord: every male that opens the womb must be considered consecrated to the Lord)

and he went into all the Jordan-district preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins ??4 as it is written in the book of the sayings of the prophet Isaiah, The voice of one who cries in the desert, 'Make the way ready for the Lord, level the paths for him.

Our ancestors ate manna in the desert: as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat."

And Jesus came across a young ass and seated himself on it; as it is written,

So God turned from them, abandoning them to the worship of the starry Host ??as it is written in the book of the prophets, Did you offer me victims and sacrifices during the forty years in the desert, O house of Israel?

has been fulfilled by God for us their children, when he raised Jesus. As it is written in the second psalm, thou art my son, to-day have I become thy father.

This agrees with the words of the prophets; as it is written,

God's righteousness is revealed in it by faith and for faith ??as it is written, Now by faith shall the righteous live.

Never! Let God be true to his word, though every man be perfidious ??as it is written, That thou mayest be vindicated in thy pleadings, and triumph in thy trial.

Well now, are we Jews in a better position? Not at all. I have already charged all, Jews as well as Greeks, with being under sin ??10 as it is written, None is righteous, no, not one;

(as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations). Such a faith implies the presence of the God in whom he believed, a God who makes the dead live and calls into being what does not exist.

(Because, as it is written, For thy sake we are being killed all the day long, we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.)

As it is written, Jacob I loved but Esau I hated.

And why? Simply because Israel has relied not on faith but on what they could do. They have stumbled over the stone that makes men stumble ??33 as it is written, Here I lay a stone in Sion that will make men stumble, even a rock to trip them up; but he who believes in Him will never be disappointed.

And how can men preach unless they are sent? ??as it is written, How pleasant is the coming of men with glad, good news!

Now what are we to infer from this? That Israel has failed to secure the object of its quest; the elect have secured it, and the rest have been rendered insensible to it ??8 as it is written, God has given them a spirit of torpor, eyes that see not, ears that hear not ??down to this very day.

This done, all Israel will be saved ??as it is written, The deliverer will come from Sion, he will banish all godlessness from Jacob:

Christ certainly did not please himself, but, as it is written, The reproaches of those who denounced Thee have fallen upon me. ??4 All such words were written of old for our instruction, that by remaining stedfast and drawing encouragement from the scriptures we may cherish hope.

and also in order that the Gentiles should glorify God for His mercy ??as it is written, Therefore will I offer praise to Thee among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name;

but that (as it is written) They should see who never had learned about him, and they who had never heard of him should understand.

so that, as it is written, let him who boasts boast of the Lord.

No, as it is written, what no eye has ever seen, what no ear has ever heard, what never entered the mind of man, God has prepared all that for those who love him.

And you must not be idolaters, like some of them; as it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to make sport.

But since our spirit of faith is the same, therefore ??as it is written I believed and so I spoke ??I too believe and so I speak,

Thus it is to give and take ??as it is written, He who got much had nothing over, and he who got little had not too little.

as it is written, He scatters his gifts to the poor broadcast, his charity lasts for ever.
