For if you love only those who love you, what reward can you expect? Do not the very tax-collectors do that?

"When you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, for they like to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the squares, to let people see them. I tell you, that is the only reward they will get!

It is not everyone who says to me 'Lord! Lord!' who will get into the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father in heaven.

And a leper came up to him and fell on his knees before him, saying, "If you only choose, sir, you can cure me!"

You brood of snakes! how can you, bad as you are, utter anything good? For the mouth says only what the heart is full of.

But he answered, "Only a wicked and faithless age insists upon a sign, and no sign will be given it but the sign of the prophet Jonah.

But he answered, "I am sent only to the lost sheep of Israel's house."

And if your own eye makes you fall, dig it out and throw it away. You might better enter upon life with only one eye than be thrown with both eyes into the fiery pit.

He said to them, "It is not everyone who can accept that, but only those who have a special gift.

But he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter that life, keep the commandments."

and said, 'These men who were hired last worked only one hour, and you have put them on the same footing with us who have done the heavy work of the day and have stood the midday heat.'

Jesus answered, "I tell you, if you have faith and have no doubt, you will not only do what I have done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Get up and throw yourself into the sea,' it will be done.

But you must not let people call you 'Rabbi,' for you have only one teacher, and you are all brothers.

And you must not call anyone on earth your father, for you have only one father, your heavenly Father.

And you must not let men call you master, for you have only one master, the Christ.

All this is only the beginning of the sufferings.

But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven nor the Son, but only the Father.

There came to him a leper appealing to him on his knees, saying to him, "If you only choose, you can cure me."

but it takes no real root in them and they last only a little while; then when trouble or persecution comes because of the message they give it up at once.

Now they had forgotten to bring any bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

He looked up and said, "I can see people, for they look to me like trees, only they are moving about."

Why, I tell you, not only has Elijah come, but people have treated him just as they pleased, as the Scripture says about him."

He said to them, "This kind of thing can be driven out only by prayer."

And if your eye makes you fall, tear it out. You might better get into the Kingdom of God with only one eye than be thrown with both your eyes into the pit,

For nation will rise in arms against nation and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes here and there, there will be famines. This is only the beginning of the sufferings.

When he was in one of the towns, he came upon a man covered with leprosy. And when he saw Jesus he fell down on his face, and begged him, saying, "If you only choose, sir, you can cure me!"

If you love only those who love you, what merit is there in that? For even godless people love those who love them.

And if you help only those who help you, what merit is there in that? Even godless people act in that way.

And if you lend only to people from whom you expect to get something, what merit is there in that? Even godless people lend to godless people, meaning to get it back again in full.

A good man, out of the good he has accumulated in his heart, produces good, and a bad man, out of what he has accumulated that is bad, produces what is bad. For his mouth says only what his heart is full of.

As he came up to the gate of the town, a dead man was being carried out; he was his mother's only son, and she was a widow. A crowd of the townspeople was with her.

because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As he was going, the crowds of people almost crushed him.

But he said to them, "Give them food yourselves!" And they said, "We have only five loaves and two fish, unless we go ourselves and buy food for all these people."

Once when he was praying by himself, with only the disciples near him, he asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?"

And a man in the crowd shouted, "Master, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child,

indeed there is only one thing we need. For Mary has chosen the right thing, and it must not be taken away from her."

And someone said to him, "Are only a few to be saved, Master?" He said to them,

So you also, when you do all you have been ordered to do, must say, 'We are good-for-nothing slaves! We have done only what we ought to have done!' "

and said, "If you yourself only knew today the conditions of peace! But as it is, they are hidden from you.

And we are suffering it justly, for we are only getting our deserts, but this man has done nothing wrong."

and one of them named Cleopas said to him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know what has happened there lately?"

So the Word became flesh and blood and lived for a while among us, abounding in blessing and truth, and we saw the honor God had given him, such honor as an only son receives from his father.

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that no one who believes in him should be lost, but that they should all have eternal life.

No one who believes in him has to come up for judgment. Anyone who does not believe stands condemned already, for not believing in God's only Son.

Now Bethany is only about two miles from Jerusalem,

Now he was not self-moved in saying this, but as high priest for that year he was inspired to say that Jesus was to die for the nation??52 and not only for the nation but also for the purpose of uniting the scattered children of God.

A great many of the Jews found out that he was there, and they came to Bethany not only to see Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

Jesus said to them, "You will have the light only a little while longer. Go on while you still have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you, for those who go about in the dark do not know where they are going.

And I know his orders mean eternal life. So whatever I say, I say only as the Father has told me."

Simon Peter said to him, "Master, wash not only my feet but my hands and my face too!"

Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed to be altogether clean. And you are already clean??hough not all of you."

My children, I am to be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, but, as I said to the Jews, where I am going you cannot follow,

Yet it is only the truth when I tell you that it is better for you that I should go away. For if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you, but if I go I will send him to you.

And eternal life means knowing you as the only true God, and knowing Jesus your messenger as Christ.

I have a request to make for them. I make no request for the world, but only for those whom you have given me, for they are yours??10 all that is mine is yours and what is yours is mine??nd they have done me honor.

But Peter lifted him to his feet, and said, "Get up! I am only human myself."

and shouting, "Friends, why are you doing this? We are only human beings like you, and we bring you the good news that you should turn from these follies to a living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and all that they contain.

But as it is only a question of words and titles and your own law, you must look after it yourselves. I refuse to decide such matters."

and you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but almost all over Asia, this man Paul has persuaded and drawn away numbers of people, telling them that gods made by human hands are not gods at all.

There is danger, therefore, not only that this business of ours will be discredited, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be neglected and the magnificence of her whom all Asia and the world worship will be a thing of the past!"

But my life does not matter, if I can only finish my race and do the service intrusted to me by the Lord Jesus, of declaring the good news of God's favor.

Then Paul answered, "What do you mean by crying and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound at Jerusalem but to die there for the sake of the Lord Jesus."

But do not let them persuade you, for more than forty of them are lying in wait for him, and they have taken an oath not to eat or drink till they have killed him. They are all ready now, and are only waiting to get your promise."

After staying only eight or ten days there, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day took his place in the judge's chair, and ordered Paul brought in.

But he only shook the creature off into the fire and was unharmed.

but self-seeking people who are disloyal to the truth and responsive only to what is wrong will experience anger and fury,

Circumcision will help you only if you observe the Law; but if you are a lawbreaker, you might as well be uncircumcised.

and the forefather of those circumcised persons who not only share his circumcision but follow our forefather Abraham's example in the faith he had before he was circumcised.

For the Law only brings down God's wrath; where there is no law, there is no violation of it.

That is why it all turns upon faith; it is to make it a matter of God's favor, so that the promise may hold good for all Abraham's descendants, not only those who are adherents of the Law, but also those who share the faith of Abraham. For he is the father of all of us;

Do you not know, brothers??or I am speaking to men who know what law is??hat law governs a man only as long as he lives?

including us whom he has called not only from among the Jews but from among the heathen?

And Isaiah cries out about Israel, "Although the sons of Israel are as numerous as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved,

None of us lives only to himself, and none of us dies only to himself;

I know and as a follower of the Lord Jesus I am convinced that nothing is unclean in itself; a thing is unclean only to the man who regards it as unclean.

For I will venture to speak only of what Christ has accomplished through me in winning the heathen to obedience, by word and action,

In all this it has been my ambition to preach the good news only where Christ's name was unknown, so as not to build on foundations other men had laid.
