Now, everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts upon them will be like a sensible man who built his house on rock.

And everyone who listens to these words of mine and does not act upon them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand.

The man went to the second and said the same to him; he replied, 'I will not,' but afterwards he changed his mind and did go.

For John showed you the way to be good and you would not believe him; the taxgatherers and harlots believed him, and even though you saw that, you would not change your mind afterwards and believe him.

He replied, "You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, with your whole soul, and with your whole mind.

Woe to you, you impious scribes and Pharisees! you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and omit the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faithfulness; these latter you ought to have practised ??without omit ting the former.

The King will answer them, 'I tell you truly, in so far as you did it to one of these brothers of mine, even to the least of them, you did it to me.'

And when his family heard this, they set out to get hold of him, for what they said was, "He is out of his mind."

I tell you truly, whoever says to this hill, 'Take and throw yourself into the sea,' and has not a doubt in his mind but believes that what he says will happen, he will have it done.

and you must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, with your whole soul, with your whole mind, and with your whole strength.

You have heard his blasphemy for yourselves. What is your mind?" They condemned him, all of them, to the doom of death;

Afterwards he appeared at table to the eleven themselves and reproached them for their unbelief and dulness of mind, because they had not believed those who saw him risen from the dead. [But they excused themselves, saying, "This age of lawlessness and unbelief lies under the sway of Satan, who will not allow what lies under the unclean spirits to understand the truth and power of God; therefore," they said to Christ, "reveal your righteousness now." Christ answered them, "The term of years for Satan's power has now expired, but other terrors are at hand. I was delivered to death on behalf of sinners, that they might return to the truth and sin no more, that they might inherit that glory of righteousness which is spiritual and imperishable in heaven."]

All who heard of it bore it in mind; they said, "Whatever will this child become?" For the hand of the Lord was indeed with him.

for mine eyes have seen thy saving power

He replied, "You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, with your whole soul, with your whole strength, and with your whole mind. Also your neighbour as yourself."

for a friend of mine travelling has come to my house and I have nothing to set before him.'

But woe to you Pharisees! you tithe mint and rue and every vegetable, but justice and the love of God you disregard; these latter you ought to have practised ??without omitting the former.

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, aye and his own life, he cannot be a disciple of mine;

whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me, he cannot be a disciple of mine.

So with everyone of you who will not part with all his goods he cannot be a disciple of mine.

And now for these enemies of mine who objected to me reigning over them ??bring them here and slay them in my presence.' "

saying, "Father, if it please thee, take this cup away from me. But thy will, not mine, be done."

but he said to them, "Why are you upset? Why do doubts invade your mind?

So Jesus addressed the Jews who had believed him, saying, "If you abide by what I say, you are really disciples of mine:

He will glorify me, for he will draw upon what is mine and disclose it to you.

All that the Father has is mine; that is why I say, 'he will draw upon what is mine and disclose it to you.'

(all mine is thine and thine is mine), and I am glorified in them.

All these men resorted with one mind to prayer, together with the women, with Mary the mother of Jesus and with his brothers.

you know yourselves how these hands of mine provided everything for my own needs and for my companions.

How I lived from my youth up among my own nation and at Jerusalem, all that early career of mine, is known to all the Jews.

For I do yearn to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift for your strengthening ??12 or, in other words, that I may be encouraged by meeting you, I by your faith and you by mine.

but then I find quite another law in my members which conflicts with the law of my mind and makes me a prisoner to sin's law that resides in my members.

God will! Thanks be to him through Jesus Christ our Lord! [Move second part of this vers to follow vs 23] (Thus, left to myself, I serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.)

and He who searches the human heart knows what is in the mind of the Spirit, since the Spirit pleads before God for the saints.

As indeed he says in Hosea, Those who were no people of mine, I will call 'my People,' and her 'beloved' who was not beloved;

on the very spot where they were told, 'You are no people of mine,' there shall they be called 'sons of the living God.'

Instead of being moulded to this world, have your mind renewed, and so be transformed in nature, able to make out what the will of God is, namely, what is good and acceptable to him and perfect.

if it is practical service, let us mind our service; the teacher must mind his teaching,

Never revenge yourselves, beloved, but let the Wrath of God have its way; for it is written, Vengeance is mine, I will exact a requital ??the Lord has said it. No,

Then again, this man rates one day above another, while that man rates all days alike. Well, everyone must be convinced in his own mind;

So let us stop criticizing one another; rather make up your mind never to put any stumbling-block or hindrance in your brother's way.

Salute Andronicus and Junias, fellow-countrymen and fellow-prisoners of mine; they are men of note among the apostles, and they have been in Christ longer than I have.

No, as it is written, what no eye has ever seen, what no ear has ever heard, what never entered the mind of man, God has prepared all that for those who love him.

I do not write this to make you feel ashamed, but to instruct you as beloved children of mine.

Outsiders it is no business of mine to judge. No, you must judge those who are inside the church, for yourselves;

For married people these are my instructions (and they are the Lord's, not mine). A wife is not to separate from her husband ??11 if she has separated, she must either remain single or be reconciled to him ??and a husband must not put away his wife.

You were a slave when you were called? Never mind. Of course, if you do find it possible to get free, you had better avail yourself of the opportunity.

But the man of firm purpose who has made up his mind, who, instead of being forced against his will, has determined to himself to keep his maid a spiritual bride ??that man will be doing the right thing.

Suppose anyone sees you, a person of enlightened mind, reclining at meat inside an idol's temple; will that really 'fortify his weak conscience'? Will it not embolden him to violate his scruples of conscience by eating food that has been offered to idols?

He is ruined, this weak man, ruined by your 'enlightened mind,' this brother for whose sake Christ died!

If others share this right over you, why not we all the more? We did not avail ourselves of it, you say? No, we do not mind any privations if we can only avoid putting any obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.

I commend you for always bearing me in mind and for maintaining the traditions I passed on to you.

Well, unless I understand the meaning of what is said to me, I shall appear to the speaker to be talking gibberish, and to my mind he will be talking gibberish himself.

For if I pray with a 'tongue,' my spirit prays, no doubt, but my mind is no use to anyone.

Very well then, I will pray in the Spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing praise in the Spirit, but I will also sing praise with my mind.

but in church I would rather say five words with my own mind for the instruction of other people than ten thousand words in a 'tongue.'

as you have partly understood the meaning of my life, namely that I am your source of pride (as you are mine) on the Day of our Lord Jesus.

I know that if this earthly tent of mine is taken down, I get a home from God, made by no human hands, eternal in the heavens.

I do sigh within this tent of mine with heavy anxiety ??not that I want to be stripped, no, but to be under the cover of the other, to have my mortal element absorbed by life.

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.

For I got no relief from the strain of things, even when I reached Macedonia; it was trouble at every turn, wrangling all round me, fears in my own mind.

That is what comforts me. And over and above my personal comfort, I was specially delighted at the delight of Titus. You have all set his mind at rest.

Titus is my colleague, he shares my work for you, and these brothers of mine are apostles of the church, a credit to Christ.

Everyone is to give what he has made up his mind to give; there is to be no grudging or compulsion about it, for God loves the giver who gives cheerfully.

I beg of you that when I do come I may not have to speak out and be peremptory; but my mind is made up to tackle certain people who have made up their minds that I move on the low level of the flesh.

I am quite ashamed to say I was not equal to that sort of thing! But let them vaunt as they please, I am equal to them (mind, this is the role of a fool!).

and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

It is only natural for me to be thinking of you all in this way, for alike in my prison and as I defend and vindicate the gospel, I bear in mind how you all share with me in the grace divine.

Destruction is their fate, the belly is their god, they glory in their shame, these men of earthly mind!

Finally, brothers, keep in mind whatever is true, whatever is worthy, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is attractive, whatever is high-toned, all excellence, all merit.

mind what is above, not what is on earth,

Brothers, when we were bereft of you for a little while (out of sight, not out of mind), we were the more eager to see you. We had a keen longing for you.

So, unable to bear it any longer, I made up my mind to be left behind at Athens all alone;

The salutation is in my own hand, Paul's; that is a mark in every letter of mine. This is how I write.

he must keep in mind that no law is ever made for honest people but for the lawless and the insubordinate, for the impious and the sinful, for the irreverent and the profane, for parricides and matricides, murderers,

Shut your mind against these profane, drivelling myths; train for the religious life.

and constant friction between people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the Truth. They imagine religion is a paying concern.

Shut your mind against foolish, popular controversy; be sure that only breeds strife.

he must be gentle in his admonitions to the opposition ??God may perhaps let them change their mind and admit the Truth;

For these guides of theirs are hostile to the Truth, just as Jannes and Jambres were hostile to Moses; they are depraved in mind and useless for all purposes of faith.

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

Previous priests became priests apart from any oath, but he has an oath from Him who said to him, The Lord has sworn, and he will not change his mind, thou art a priest for ever.

This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel when that day comes, saith the Lord; I will set my laws within their mind, inscribing them upon their hearts; I will be a God to them, and they shall be a People to me;

We know who said, Vengeance is mine, I will exact a requital: and again, The Lord will pass sentence on his people.

I appeal to you, brothers, to bear with this appeal of mine. It is but a short letter.

Look at ships too; for all their size and speed under stiff winds, they are turned by a tiny rudder wherever the mind of the steersman chooses.

Yes, and I will see to it that even when I am gone, you will keep this constantly in mind.

This is the second letter I have already written to you, beloved, stirring up your pure mind by way of reminder,

Now, beloved, you are forewarned: mind you are not carried away by the error of the lawless and so lose your proper footing;

Now for the interpretation of the discerning mind! The seven heads are seven hills, on which the woman is seated:

they are of one mind, and they confer their power and authority upon the Beast.

for God has put it into their hearts to execute his purpose, by having one mind and by conferring their royal power upon the Beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
