Whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the holy Spirit will never be forgiven, neither in this world nor in the world to come.

As for him who is sown 'among thorns,' that is the man who listens to the word, but the worry of the world and the delight of being rich choke the word; so it proves unfruitful.

the field is the world; the good seed means the sons of the Realm; the weeds are the sons of the evil one; the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are angels. read more. Well then, just as the weeds are gathered and burnt in the fire, so will it be at the end of the world;

So will it be at the end of the world. The angels will go out and separate the evil from among the just

What profit will it be if a man gains the whole world and forfeits his own soul? What will a man offer as an equivalent for his soul?

So as he sat on the Hill of Olives the disciples came up to him in private and said, "Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign of your arrival and of the end of the world?"

for there will be sore misery then, such as never has been from the beginning of the world till now ??no and never shall be.

I tell you truly, wherever this gospel is preached through all the world, men will speak of what she has done in memory of her."

and teach them to obey all the commands I have laid on you. And I will be with you all the time, to the very end of the world."

but the worries of the world and the delight of being rich and all the other passions come in to choke the word; so it proves unfruitful.

What profit is it for a man to gain the whole world and to forfeit his soul?

who does not get a hundred times as much ??in this present world homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and lands, together with persecutions, and in the world to come life eternal.

as he promised of old by the lips of his prophets

What profit will it be for a man to gain the whole world and lose or forfeit himself?

Well, the master praised the dishonest factor for looking ahead; for the children of this world look further ahead in dealing with their own generation than the children of Light.

For God loved the world so dearly that he gave up his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life, instead of perishing. God did not send his Son into the world to pass sentence on it, but to save the world by him.

God did not send his Son into the world to pass sentence on it, but to save the world by him.

And this is the sentence of condemnation, that the Light has entered the world and yet men have preferred darkness to light. It is because their actions have been evil;

He had to pass through Samaria,

but anyone who drinks the water I shall give him will never thirst any more; the water I shall give him will turn into a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

As they told the woman, "We no longer believe on account of what you said; we have heard for ourselves, we know that he is really the Saviour of the world."

So Jesus made this answer to them: "Truly, truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, nothing but what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, the Son also does the same.

I am the living bread which has come down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and more, the bread I will give is my flesh, given for the life of the world."

for nobody who aims at public recognition ever keeps his actions secret. Since you can do these deeds, display yourself to the world"

If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, it is not I who judge him; for I have not come to judge the world but to save the world.

Now before the passover festival Jesus knew the time had come for him to pass from this world to the Father. He had loved his own in this world and he loved them to the end;

even the Spirit of truth: the world cannot receive him, because it neither sees nor knows him, but you know him, because he remains with you and will be within you.

I will no longer talk much with you, for the Prince of this world is coming. He has no hold on me;

I will no longer talk much with you, for the Prince of this world is coming. He has no hold on me;

If the world hates you, remember it hated me first.

If the world hates you, remember it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world would love what it owned; it is because you do not belong to the world, because I have chosen you from the world, that the world hates you.

of judgment, because the Prince of this world has been judged.

of judgment, because the Prince of this world has been judged.

Truly, truly I tell you, you will be wailing and lamenting while the world is rejoicing; you will be sorrowful, but then your sorrow will be changed into joy.

I have made thy Name known to the men whom thou hast given to me from the world (thine they were, and thou gavest them to me), and they have held to thy word.

for I have given them the words thou gavest me, and they have received them; they are now sure that I came from thee and believe that thou didst send me.

I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.

Sage, scribe, critic of this world, where are they all? Has not God stultified the wisdom of the world?

Sage, scribe, critic of this world, where are they all? Has not God stultified the wisdom of the world? For when the world with all its wisdom failed to know God in his wisdom, God resolved to save believers by the 'sheer folly' of the Christian message.

No, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame what is strong; God has chosen what is mean and despised in the world ??things which are not, to put down things that are;

We do discuss 'wisdom' with those who are mature; only it is not the wisdom of this world or of the dethroned Powers who rule this world,

None of the Powers of this world understands it (if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory).

Now we have received the Spirit ??not the spirit of the world but the Spirit that comes from God, that we may understand what God bestows upon us.

Let no one deceive himself about this; whoever of you imagines he is wise with this world's wisdom must become a 'fool,' if he is really to be wise. For God ranks this world's wisdom as 'sheer folly.' It is written, He seizes the wise in their craftiness,

Outsiders it is no business of mine to judge. No, you must judge those who are inside the church, for yourselves; as for outsiders, God will judge them. Expel the wicked from your company.

Do you not know the saints are to manage the world? If the world is to come under your jurisdiction, are you incompetent to adjudicate upon trifles?

let those who mix in the world live as if they were not engrossed in it, for the present phase of things is passing away.

the married man is anxious about worldly affairs, how best to satisfy his wife ??34 so he is torn in two directions. The unmarried woman or the maid is also anxious about the Lord's affairs, how to be consecrated, body and spirit; once married, she is anxious about worldly affairs, how best to satisfy her husband.

It all happened to them by way of warning for others, and it was written down for the purpose of instructing us whose lot has been cast in the closing hours of the world.

for as woman was made from man, so man is now made from woman, while both, like all things, come from God.)

If anyone presumes to raise objections on this point ??well, I acknowledge no other mode of worship, and neither do the churches of God.

As it is, we are chastened when we are judged by him, so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

As it is, we are chastened when we are judged by him, so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

there the god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, to prevent them seeing the light thrown by the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God.

For in Christ God reconciled the world to himself instead of counting men's trespasses against them; and he entrusted me with the message of his reconciliation.

who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil world ??by the will of our God and Father,

(for He who equipped Peter to be an apostle of the circumcised equipped me as well for the uncircumcised),

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, Christ lives in me; the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.

So with us. When we were under age, we lived under the thraldom of the Elemental spirits of the world;

but now that you know God ??or rather, are known by God ??how is it you are turning back again to the weakness and poverty of the Elemental spirits? Why do you want to be enslaved all over again by them?

But no boasting for me, none except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me and I crucified to the world.

above all the angelic Rulers, Authorities, Powers, and Lords, above every Name that is to be named not only in this age but in the age to come ??22 he has put everything under his feet and set him as head over everything for the church,

in which you moved as you followed the course of this world, under the sway of the prince of the air ??the spirit which is at present active within those sons of disobedience

to display throughout ages to come his surpassing wealth of grace and goodness toward us in Christ Jesus.

hold fast the word of life, so that I can be proud of you on the Day of Christ, because I have not run or worked for nothing.

and it is he who has informed us of your love in the Spirit.

thanking the Father who has qualified us to share the lot of the saints in the Light,

Servants, obey your masters here below at every point; do not work simply when their eye is on you, like those who court human favour, but serve them with a single heart out of reverence for your Lord and Master.

He is accompanied by that faithful and beloved brother Onesimus, who is one of yourselves. They will inform you of all that goes on here.

To the King of eternity, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever: Amen.

For the pure all things are pure, but nothing is pure for the polluted and unbelieving; their very mind and conscience are polluted.

and it schools us to renounce irreligion and worldly passions and to live a life of self-mastery, of integrity, and of piety in this present world,

but in these days at the end he has spoken to us by a Son ??a Son whom he appointed heir of the universe, as it was by him that he created the world.

Since then it is reserved for some to enter it, and since those who formerly got the good news failed to enter owing to their disobedience,

who tasted the goodness of God's word and the powers of the world to come, and then fell away ??6 it is impossible to make them repent afresh, since they crucify the Son of God in their own persons and hold him up to obloquy.

Hence, on entering the world he says, Thou hast no desire for sacrifice or offering; it is a body thou hast prepared for me ??6 in holocausts and sin-offerings thou takest no delight.

It is by faith we understand that the world was fashioned by the word of God, and thus the visible was made out of the invisible.

They all won their record for faith, but the Promise they did not obtain. God had something better in store for us; he would not have them perfected apart from us.

Listen, my beloved brothers; has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the realm which he has promised to those who love him?

Someone will object, 'And you claim to have faith!' Yes, and I claim to have deeds as well; you show me your faith without any deeds, and I will show you by my deeds what faith is!

In his case, you see, faith co-operated with deeds, faith was completed by deeds,

My brothers, do not swell the ranks of the teachers; remember, we teachers will be judged with special strictness.

And the tongue is a fire, the tongue proves a very world of mischief among our members, staining the whole of the body and setting fire to the round circle of existence with a flame fed by hell.

Who among you is wise and learned? Let him show by his good conduct, with the modesty of wisdom, what his deeds are.

Then the seventh angel blew; and loud voices followed in heaven, crying, "The rule of the world has passed to our Lord and his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever."
