leave your gift at the very altar and go away; first be reconciled to your brother, then come back and offer your gift.

For if you love only those who love you, what reward do you get for that? do not the very taxgatherers do as much?

and if you only salute your friends, what is special about that? do not the very pagans do as much?

but if your Eye is selfish, the whole of your body will be darkened. And if your very light turns dark, then ??what a darkness it is!

Then Jesus said to the captain, "Go; as you have had faith, your prayer is granted." And the servant was cured at that very hour.

Men marvelled at this; they said, "What sort of man is this? the very winds and sea obey him!"

Whoever will not receive you or listen to your message, leave that house or town and shake off the very dust from your feet.

and you will be hated by all men on account of my name; but he will be saved who holds out to the very end.

The very hairs on your head are all numbered;

but he will be saved who holds out to the very end.

for false Christs and false prophets will rise and bring forward great signs and wonders, so as to mislead the very elect, ??if that were possible.

so, whenever you see all this happen, you may be sure He is at hand, at the very door.

Jesus said to him, "I tell you truly, you will disown me three times this very night, before the cock crows."

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 they were overawed and said to each other, "Whatever can he be, when the very wind and sea obey him?"

And if any place will not receive you and the people will not listen to you, shake off the very dust under your feet when you leave, as a warning to them."

Then she hurried in at once and asked the king, saying, "I want you to give me this very moment John the Baptist's head on a dish."

The king was very vexed, but for the sake of his oaths and his guests he did not like to disappoint her;

and you will be hated by all men on account of my name; but he will be saved who holds out to the very end.

so, whenever you see this happen, you may be sure He is at hand, at the very door.

Jesus said to him, "I tell you truly, to-day you will disown me three times, this very night, before the cock crows twice."

At that very moment, while he was still speaking, Judas [Iscariot] one of the twelve came up accompanied by a mob with swords and cudgels who had come from the high priests and scribes and elders.

and very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb, after sunrise.

They said to themselves, "Who will roll away the boulder for us at the opening of the tomb?" (for it was a very large boulder).

and inasmuch as I have gone carefully over them all myself from the very beginning, I have decided, O Theophilus, to write them out in order for your excellency,

for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, he will drink neither wine nor strong drink, he will be filled with the holy Spirit from his very birth;

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.

rejoice on that day and leap for joy! rich is your reward in heaven for their fathers did the very same to the prophets.

Now there was an army-captain who had a servant ill whom he valued very highly. This man was at the point of death;

Then he said to them, "Where is your faith?" They marvelled in awe, saying to one another, "Whatever can he be? He gives orders to the very winds and water, and they obey him!"

Whoever will not receive you, leave that town and shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them."

'The very dust of your town that clings to us, we wipe off from our feet as a protest. But mark this, the Reign of God is near!'

The seventy came back with joy. "Lord," they said, "the very daemons obey us in your name."

(Look! perhaps your very light is dark.)

But the very hairs on your head are all numbered; fear not, you are worth far more than sparrows.

But God said to him, 'Foolish man, this very night your soul is wanted; and who will get all you have prepared?'

and fain to eat up the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. (The very dogs used to come and lick his ulcers.)

But he replied, "I tell you, if they were to keep quiet, the very stones would shout."

You will be betrayed by your very parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends, and some of you will be put to death.

"I tell you truly," said Jesus, "you will be in paradise with me this very day."

That very day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus about seven miles from Jerusalem.

So they got up and returned that very hour to Jerusalem, where they found the eleven and their friends all gathered,

THE Logos existed in the very beginning, the Logos was with God, the Logos was divine.

He was with God in the very beginning:

Then the father realized that it had left him at the very time when Jesus had said to him, "Your son is alive"; and he became a believer with all his household.

But I possess a testimony greater than that of John, for the deeds which the Father has granted me to accomplish, the very deeds on which I am engaged, are my testimony that the Father has sent me.

And yet there are some of you who do not believe" (for Jesus knew from the very first who the unbelieving were, and who was to betray him;

they said to him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery.

You belong to your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires; he was a slayer of men from the very beginning, and he has no place in the truth because there is no truth in him: when he tells a lie, he is expressing his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Truly, truly I tell you, he who believes in me will do the very deeds I do, and still greater deeds than these. For I am going to the Father,

and you too are witnesses, for you have been with me from the very beginning.

Again Peter denied it. And at that very moment the cock crowed.

on my very slaves and slave-girls in those days will I pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

My heart is glad, my tongue exults, my very flesh will rest in hope,

So let all the house of Israel understand beyond a doubt that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this very Jesus whom you have crucified."

and when they recognized this was the very man who used to sit and beg at the Gate Beautiful, they were lost in awe and amazement at what had happened to him.

In this very city they actually mustered against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst consecrate ??Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,

However, someone came and reported to them, "Here are the very men you put in prison, standing in the temple and teaching the people!"

The Moses they refused, when they said, 'Who made you ruler and umpire?' ??that was the very man whom God sent to rule and to redeem them, by aid of the angel who had appeared to him in the bush.

And the Lord said to him, "Go away to the street called 'The Straight Street,' and ask at the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus called Saul. He is praying at this very moment,

He became very hungry and longed for some food. But as they were getting the meal ready, a trance came over him.

"Three days ago," said Cornelius, "at this very hour I was praying in my house at three o'clock in the afternoon, when a man stood before me in shining dress,

At that very moment three men reached the house where I was living, sent to me from Caesarea.

The very night before Herod meant to have him produced, Peter lay asleep between two soldiers; he was fastened by two chains, and sentries in front of the door guarded the prison.

She did this for a number of days. Then Paul turned in annoyance and told the spirit, "In the name of Jesus Christ I order you out of her!" And it left her that very moment.

all of a sudden there was a great earthquake which shook the very foundations of the prison; the doors all flew open in an instant and the fetters of all the prisoners were unfastened.

Then he took them at that very hour of the night and washed their wounds and got baptized instantly, he and all his family.

In the synagogue he was very outspoken at first; but when Aquila and Priscilla listened to him, they took him home and explained more accurately to him what the Way of God really meant.

Then, after conferring with the council, Festus answered, "You have appealed to Caesar? Very well, you must go to Caesar! "

Next day we put in at Sidon, where Julius very kindly allowed Paul to visit his friends and be looked after.

Therefore you are inexcusable, whoever you are, if you pose as a judge, for in judging another you condemn yourself; you, the judge, do the very same things yourself.

Very well; and do you imagine you will escape God's doom, O man, you who judge those who practise such vices and do the same yourself?

Why should we not do evil that good may come out of it?" (which is the calumny attributed to me ??the very thing some people declare I say). Such arguments are rightly condemned.

but the gift is very different from the trespass. For while the rest of men died by the trespass of one man, the grace of God and the free gift which comes by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ overflowed far more richly upon the rest of men.

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

No, what it does say is this: ??The word is close to you, in your very mouth and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we preach).

Now what are we to infer from this? That Israel has failed to secure the object of its quest; the elect have secured it, and the rest have been rendered insensible to it ??8 as it is written, God has given them a spirit of torpor, eyes that see not, ears that hear not ??down to this very day.

Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who work hard in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis; she has worked very hard in the Lord.

and to the very end he will guarantee that you are vindicated on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

if a man's work is burnt up, he will be a loser ??and though he will be saved himself, he will be snatched from the very flames.

It matters very little to me that you or any human court should cross-question me on this point. I do not even cross-question myself;

For it seems to me that God means us apostles to come in at the very end, like the doomed gladiators in the arena! We are made a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men!

To this very hour we hunger and thirst, we are ill-clad and knocked about, we are waifs,

when defamed, we try to conciliate. To this hour we are treated as the scum of the earth, the very refuse of the world!

Human arguments, you say? But does not Scripture urge the very same?

Quite the contrary. We cannot do without those very members of the body which are considered rather delicate,

just as the parts we consider rather dishonourable are the very parts we invest with special honour; our indecorous parts get a special care and attention

Love is very patient, very kind. Love knows no jealousy; love makes no parade, gives itself no airs,

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.

Very well then, brothers; when you meet together, each contributes something ??a song of praise, a lesson, a revelation, a 'tongue,' an interpretation? Good, but let every thing be for edification.

For I am the very least of the apostles, unfit to bear the name of apostle, since I persecuted the church of God.

For if I pain you, then who is to give me pleasure? None but the very people I am paining!

So the very reason I wrote was that I might not come only to be pained by those who ought to give me joy; I relied on you all, I felt sure that my joy would be a joy for everyone of you.

I am, for I am not like most, adulterating the word of God; like a man of sincerity, like a man of God, I speak the word in Christ before the very presence of God.

Besides, their minds were dulled, for to this very day, when the Old Testament is read aloud, the same veil hangs. Veiled from them the fact that the glory fades in Christ!

I disown those practices which very shame conceals from view; I do not go about it craftily; I do not falsify the word of God; I state the truth openly and so commend myself to every man's conscience before God.

I am not saying this to condemn you. Condemn you? Why, I repeat, you are in my very heart, and you will be there in death and life alike.

I am not overstepping the limit, as if you lay beyond my sphere; I was the very first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.

I asked Titus to go, and with him I sent our brother. Titus did not make anything out of you, did he? And did not I act in the same spirit as he did? Did I not take the very same steps?

But the God who had set me apart from my very birth called me by his grace,
