But Jesus answered him, "Come now, this is how we should fulfil all our duty to God." Then John gave in to him.

But you say, whoever tells his father or mother, 'This money might have been at your service but it is dedicated to God,'

"Caesar's," they said. Then he told them, "Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar, give God what belongs to God."

But you say that if a man tells his father or mother, 'This money might have been at your service, but it is Korban' (that is, dedicated to God),

If your eye is a hindrance to you, tear it out: better get into God's Realm with one eye, than keep your two eyes and be thrown into Gehenna,

Now at that very hour she came up, and she offered praise to God and spoke of him to all who were on the outlook for the redemption of Jerusalem.

It was in these days that he went off to the hillside to pray. He spent the whole night in prayer to God,

Was there no one to return and give glory to God except this foreigner?"

The Pharisee stood up and prayed by himself as follows; 'I thank thee, O God, I am not like the rest of men, thieves, rogues, and immoral, or even like yon taxgatherer.

But the taxgatherer stood far away and would not lift even his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'O God, have mercy on me for my sins!'

Instantly he regained his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people gave praise to God when they saw this.

"Well then," he said to them, "give Caesar what belongs to Caesar, give God what belongs to God."

But this only made the Jews more eager to kill him, because he not merely broke the sabbath but actually spoke of God as his own Father, thereby making himself equal to God.

but I know there is no love to God in you;

Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to those who were reclining; so too with the fish, as much as they wanted.

He who belongs to God listens to the words of God; you do not listen to them, because you do not belong to God."

the Father had put everything into his hands ??knowing that he had come from God and was going to God,

They will excommunicate you; indeed the time is coming when anyone who kills you will imagine he is performing a service to God.

who must be kept in heaven till the period of the great Restoration. Ages ago God spoke of this by the lips of his holy prophets;

and on hearing this the entire company raised their cry to God, "O Sovereign Lord, thou art he who made heaven, earth, and sea, and all that in them is,

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?

a religious man, who reverenced God with all his household, who was liberal in his alms to the People, and who constantly prayed to God.

On hearing this they desisted and glorified God, saying, "So God has actually allowed the Gentiles to repent and live!"

So Peter was closely guarded in prison, while earnest prayer for him was offered to God by the church.

and in a moment an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given due glory to God; he was eaten up by worms and so expired.

The church sped them on their journey, and they passed through both Phoenicia and Syria informing the brothers, to the great joy of all, that the Gentiles were turning to God.

Hence, in my opinion, we ought not to put fresh difficulties in the way of those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles,

But about midnight, as Paul and Silas were praying and singing to God, while the prisoners listened,

And now I entrust you to God and the word of his grace; he is able to upbuild you and give you your inheritance among all the consecrated.

that their eyes may be opened and that they may turn from darkness to light, from the power of Satan to God, to get remission of their sins and an inheritance among those who are consecrated by faith in me.'

I announced to those at Damascus and at Jerusalem in the first instance, then all over the land of Judaea, and also to the Gentiles, that they were to repent and turn to God by acting up to their repentance.

So God has given them up, in their heart's lust, to sexual vice, to the dishonouring of their own bodies, ??25 since they have exchanged the truth of God for an untruth, worshipping and serving the creature rather than the Creator who is blessed for ever: Amen.

Whatever the Law says, we know, it says to those who are inside the Law, that every mouth may be shut and all the world made answerable to God;

no unbelief made him waver about God's promise; his faith won strength as he gave glory to God

If we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son when we were enemies, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

So you must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

you must not let sin have your members for the service of vice, you must dedicate yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, dedicating your members to God for the service of righteousness.

It is the same in your case, my brothers. The crucified body of Christ made you dead to the Law, so that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead that we might be fruitful to God.

For the interests of the flesh are hostile to God; they do not yield to the law of God (indeed they cannot).

But who are you, my man, to speak back to God? Is something a man has moulded to ask him who has moulded it, "Why did you make me like this?"

Oh for their salvation, brothers! That is my heart's desire and prayer to God!

For if their exclusion means that the world is reconciled to God, what will their admission mean? Why, it will be life from the dead!

Well then, my brothers, I appeal to you by all the mercy of God to dedicate your bodies as a living sacrifice, consecrated and acceptable to God; that is your cult, a spiritual rite.

So why do you criticize your brother? And you, why do you look down upon your brother? All of us have to stand before the tribunal of God ??11 for it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bend before me, every tongue shall offer praise to God.

Each of us then will have to answer for himself to God.

he who serves Christ on these lines, is acceptable to God and esteemed by men.

Brothers, I beg of you, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love that the Spirit inspires, rally round me by praying to God for me;

and you belong to Christ, and Christ to God.

For the unbelieving husband is consecrated in the person of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is consecrated in the person of the Christian brother she has married; otherwise, of course, your children would be unholy instead of being consecrated to God.

Circumcision counts for nothing, uncircumcision counts for nothing; obedience to God's commands is everything.

Now mere food will not bring us any nearer to God; if we abstain we do not lose anything, and if we eat we do not gain anything.

No, what I imply is that anything people sacrifice is sacrificed to daemons, not to God. And I do not want you to participate in daemons!

If one partakes of food after saying a blessing over it, why should one be denounced for eating what one has given thanks to God for?

Judge for yourselves; is it proper for an unveiled woman to pray to God?

Besides, we are detected bearing false witness to God by affirming of him that he raised Christ ??whom he did not raise, if after all dead men never rise.

If I 'appeal to the interests of men,' then, it is with the fear of the Lord before my mind. What I am is plain to God without disguise, plain also, I trust, to your own conscience.

They have done more than I expected; they gave themselves to the Lord, to begin with, and then (for so God willed it) they put themselves at my disposal.

Thanks be to God who has inspired Titus with an interest in you equal to my own;

He who furnishes the sower with seed and with bread to eat will supply seed for you and multiply it; he will increase the crop of your charities ??11 you will be enriched on all hands, so that you can be generous on all occasions, and your generosity, of which I am the agent, will make men give thanks to God;

for the service rendered by this fund does more than supply the wants of the saints, it overflows with many a cry of thanks to God.

Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

and I pray to God that you may not go wrong ??not to prove I am a success, that is not the point, but that you should come right, even if I seemed to be a failure.

Then the Law is contrary to God's Promises? Never! Had there been any law which had the power of producing life, righteousness would really have been due to law,

So you are servant no longer but son, and as son you are also heir, all owing to God.

In those days, when you were ignorant of God, you were in servitude to gods who are really no gods at all;

so as himself to give the death-blow to that feud by reconciling them both to God in one Body through the cross;

Thus you are strangers and foreigners no longer, you share the membership of the saints, you belong to God's own household,

and lead lives of love, just as Christ loved you and gave himself up for you to be a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

no, nor indecent, silly, or scurrilous talk ??all that is improper. Rather, voice your thanks to God.

and render thanks to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ at all times and for all things.

instead of merely working when their eye is on you, like those who court human favour, do God's will from the heart like servants of Christ,

Even if my life-blood has to be poured as a libation on the sacred sacrifice of faith you are offering to God, I rejoice, I congratulate you all ??18 and you in turn must rejoice and congratulate me.

Never be anxious, but always make your requests known to God in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving;

Glory to God our Father for ever and ever: Amen.

fixed and founded in him, confirmed in the faith as you have been taught it, and overflowing with thankfulness to God.

Indeed, whatever you say or do, let everything be done in dependence on the Lord Jesus, giving thanks in his name to God the Father.

People tell us of their own accord about the visit we paid to you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and a real God

How can I render thanks enough to God for you, for all the joy you make me feel in the presence of our God?

I render thanks to God, the God of my fathers whom I worship with a pure conscience, as I mention you constantly in my prayers.

they will be treacherous, reckless and conceited, preferring pleasure to God ??5 for though they keep up a form of religion, they will have nothing to do with it as a force. Avoid all such.

(for the Law made nothing perfect), and there is introduced a better Hope, by means of which we can draw near to God.

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who in the spirit of the eternal offered himself as an unblemished sacrifice to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve a living God?

So I said, 'Here I come ??in the roll of the book this is written of me ??I come to do thy will, O God.'

and apart from faith it is impossible to satisfy him, for the man who draws near to God must believe that he exists and that he does reward those who seek him.

And by him let us constantly offer praise to God as our sacrifice, that is, the fruit of lips that celebrate his Name.

Do not forget beneficence and charity, either; these are the kind of sacrifices that are acceptable to God.

(Wanton creatures! do you not know that the world's friendship means enmity to God? Whoever, then, chooses to be the world's friend, turns enemy to God.

Well then, submit yourselves to God; resist the devil, and he will fly from you:

draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
