'For Us' in the Bible

But Jesus answered [and] said to him, "Permit [it] now, for in this way it is right for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he permitted him.

Then Peter answered [and] said to him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will there be for us?"

But the wise ones answered saying, "Certainly there will never be enough for us and for you! Go instead to those who sell [olive oil] and buy [some] for yourselves.'

And later the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, lord, open [the door] for us!'

saying, "Prophesy for us, [you] Christ! Who is it who hit you?"

For whoever is not against us is for us.

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him [and] said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you."

"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if someone's brother dies and he leaves behind a wife and does not leave a child, that his brother should take the wife and {father} descendants for his brother.

And he will show you a large upstairs room furnished [and] ready, and prepare for us there."

And they were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?"

and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,

because he loves our nation and he himself built the synagogue for us."

And Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable for us, or also for everyone?"

when once the master of the house has gotten up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock [on] the door, saying, 'Lord, open [the door] for us!' And he will answer [and] say to you, 'I do not know where you are from!'

saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us if someone's brother dies having a wife, and this man is childless, that his brother should take the wife and {father} descendants for his brother.

Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."

So Pilate said to them, "You take him and judge him according to your law!" The Jews said to him, "It is not permitted for us to kill anyone,"

and are proclaiming customs that are not permitted for us to accept or to practice, [because we] are Romans!"

And these had gone on ahead [and] were waiting for us in Troas.

but God demonstrates his own love for us, [in] that [while] we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

And likewise also, the Spirit helps [us] in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as one ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes [for us] [with] unexpressed groanings.

What then shall we say about these [things]? If God [is] for us, who [can be] against us?

Indeed, [he] who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, together with him, freely give us all [things]?

Who [is] the one who condemns? Christ [is] the one who died, and more than that, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

Now these [things] happened [as] examples for us, so that we should not be desirers of evil [things], just as those also desired [them],

{Make room for us in your hearts}. We have wronged no one, we have ruined no one, we have defrauded no one.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law [by] becoming a curse for us, because it is written, "Cursed [is] everyone who hangs on a tree,"

and live in love, just as also Christ loved us, and gave himself for us an offering and sacrifice to God for a fragrant smell.

praying at the same time for us also, that God may open for us a door of the message, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which also {I am a prisoner},

who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live at the same time with him.

Brothers, pray for us.

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may progress and be honored, just as also [it was] with you,

who gave himself for us, in order that he might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good deeds.

where Jesus, the forerunner for us, entered, [because he] became a high priest {forever} according to the order of Melchizedek.

For a high priest such as this indeed is fitting for us, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and having become exalted [above] the heavens,

[by the] new and living way which he inaugurated for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,

[because] God had provided something better for us, so that they would not be made perfect without us.

Pray for us, for we are convinced that we have a good conscience, [and] want to conduct ourselves commendably in every [way].
