'For Us' in the Bible

But Jesus answering said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he *permitted Him.

Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

Then Peter said to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?”

But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’

Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’

Peter *said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

For he who is not against us is for us.

James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, *came up to Jesus, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.”

“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves behind a wife and leaves no child, his brother should marry the wife and raise up children to his brother.

And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there.”

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 usIn the house of David His servant—

And as these were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not realizing what he was saying.

Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

and they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should marry the wife and raise up children to his brother.

And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.”

But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas!”

Philip *said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”

So the twelve summoned the congregation of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable for us to neglect the word of God in order to serve tables.

saying to Aaron, ‘Make for us gods who will go before us; for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt—we do not know what happened to him.’

and are proclaiming customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”

But these had gone on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they also craved.

For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,

Make room for us in your hearts; we wronged no one, we corrupted no one, we took advantage of no one.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”—

and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.

praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned;

who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.

Brethren, pray for us.

Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you;

who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens;

For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,

because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect.

Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things.

We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
