'For Us' in the Bible

But the sensible replied, 'No, there may not be enough for us and for you. Better go to the dealers and buy for yourselves.'

Afterwards the rest of the maidens came and said, 'Oh sir, oh sir, open the door for us!'

He who is not against us is for us.

"Teacher," they said, "Moses has written this law for us, that if a man's brother dies leaving a wife but no child, his brother is to take the woman and raise offspring for his brother.

He will show you a large room upstairs, with couches spread, all ready; prepare the passover for us there."

They said to themselves, "Who will roll away the boulder for us at the opening of the tomb?" (for it was a very large boulder).

he has raised up a strong saviour for us in the house of his servant David

Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable for us, or is it for all and sundry?"

once the master of the House has got up and closed the door. You may stand outside and knock at the door, crying, 'Lord, open for us,' but he will answer you, 'I do not know where you come from.'

Is it right for us to pay tribute to Caesar or not?"

"Teacher," they said, "Moses has written this law for us, that if a man's married brother dies and is childless, his brother is to take the woman and raise offspring for his brother.

So Jesus despatched Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the passover for us that we may eat it."

But they shouted one and all, "Away with him! Release Bar-Abbas for us!"

And they said to one another, "Did not our hearts glow within us when he was talking to us on the road, opening up the scriptures for us?"

There is no salvation by anyone else, nor even a second Name under heaven appointed for us men and our salvation."

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.

They went on to wait for us at Troas,

But God proves his love for us by this, that Christ died for us when we were still sinners.

So too the Spirit assists us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray aright, but the Spirit pleads for us with sighs that are beyond words,

Now what follows from all this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

The God who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, surely He will give us everything besides!

who shall condemn? Will Christ? ??the Christ who died, yes and rose from the dead! the Christ who is at God's right hand, who actually pleads for us!

What if he means to show the wealth that lies in his glory for the objects of his mercy, whom he has made ready beforehand to receive glory ??24 that is, for us whom he has called from among the Gentiles as well as the Jews?

(So-called gods there may be, in heaven or on earth ??as indeed there are plenty of them, both gods and 'lords' ??6 but for us there is one God, the Father, from whom all comes, and for whom we exist; one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom all exists, and by whom we exist.)

Or is he speaking purely for our sakes? Assuredly for our sakes. This word was written for us, because the ploughman needs to plough in hope, and the thresher to thresh in the hope of getting a share in the crop.

Now this took place as a warning for us, to keep us from craving for evil as they craved.

'All things are lawful'? Yes, but not all are good for us. 'All things are lawful'? Yes, but not all are edifying.

Now then, you are to the front in everything, in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in all zeal, and in love for us ??do come to the front in this gracious enterprise as well.

Christ ransomed us from the curse of the Law by becoming accursed for us (for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a gibbet),

who died for us that waking in life or sleeping in death we should live together with him.

Pray for us too, brothers.

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed on and triumph, as in your own case,

who gave himself up for us to redeem us from all iniquity and secure himself a clean people with a zest for good works.

and he saved us, not for anything we had done but from his own pity for us, by the water that means regeneration and renewal under the holy Spirit

There Jesus entered for us in advance, when he became high priest for ever with the rank of Melchizedek.

Such was the high priest for us, saintly, innocent, unstained, lifted high above the heavens, far from all contact with the sinful,

by the fresh, living way which he has inaugurated for us through the veil (that is, through his flesh),

God had something better in store for us; he would not have them perfected apart from us.

Well, as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, let this very conviction that he who has suffered in the flesh gets quit of sin,

'Born of him!' Think what a love the Father has for us, in letting us be called 'children of God!' That is what we are. The world does not recognize us? That is simply because it did not recognize him.

We know what love is by this, that He laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for the brotherhood.

This is how the love of God has appeared for us, by God sending his only Son into the world, so that by him we might live.

Love lies in this, not in our love for him but in his love for us ??in the sending of his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Beloved, if God had such love for us, we ought to love one another.

well, we do know, we have believed, the love God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
