There is no fear of God before their eyes.

If Abraham was justified by works, he has something to brag about—but not before God.

In fact, sin was in the world before the law, but sin is not charged to a person’s account when there is no law.

Who are you to criticize another’s household slave? Before his own Lord he stands or falls. And he will stand. For the Lord is able to make him stand.

But you, why do you criticize your brother? Or you, why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before the tribunal of God.

Do you have a conviction? Keep it to yourself before God. The man who does not condemn himself by what he approves is blessed.

For whatever was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that we may have hope through endurance and through the encouragement from the Scriptures.

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow countrymen and fellow prisoners. They are noteworthy in the eyes of the apostles, and they were also in Christ before me.

On the contrary, we speak God’s hidden wisdom in a mystery, a wisdom God predestined before the ages for our glory.

Therefore don’t judge anything prematurely, before the Lord comes, who will both bring to light what is hidden in darkness and reveal the intentions of the hearts. And then praise will come to each one from God.

If any of you has a legal dispute against another, do you dare go to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

Instead, believer goes to court against believer, and that before unbelievers!

If one of the unbelievers invites you over and you want to go, eat everything that is set before you, without raising questions of conscience.

For we are not like the many who market God’s message for profit. On the contrary, we speak with sincerity in Christ, as from God and before God.

For we must all appear before the tribunal of Christ, so that each may be repaid for what he has done in the body, whether good or worthless.

Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we seek to persuade people. We are completely open before God, and I hope we are completely open to your consciences as well.

For we are making provision for what is right, not only before the Lord but also before men.

Therefore, show them proof before the churches of your love and of our boasting about you.

I fear that when I come my God will again humiliate me in your presence, and I will grieve for many who sinned before and have not repented of the moral impurity, sexual immorality, and promiscuity they practiced.

I gave a warning when I was present the second time, and now I give a warning while I am absent to those who sinned before and to all the rest: If I come again, I will not be lenient,

As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him!

I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who had become apostles before me; instead I went to Arabia and came back to Damascus.

For he regularly ate with the Gentiles before certain men came from James. However, when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, because he feared those from the circumcision party.

You foolish Galatians! Who has hypnotized you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was vividly portrayed as crucified?

Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous will live by faith.

Before this faith came, we were confined under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith was revealed.

envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar. I tell you about these things in advance—as I told you before—that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

For He chose us in Him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love

For this reason I kneel before the Father

He is before all things,
and by Him all things hold together.

But now He has reconciled you by His physical body through His death, to present you holy, faultless, and blameless before Him—

How can we thank God for you in return for all the joy we experience before our God because of you,

May He make your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.

I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing out of favoritism.

Some people’s sins are obvious, going before them to judgment, but the sins of others surface later.

Fight the good fight for the faith;
take hold of eternal life
that you were called to
and have made a good confession about
in the presence of many witnesses.

In the presence of God, who gives life to all, and of Christ Jesus, who gave a good confession before Pontius Pilate, I charge you

He has saved us and called us
with a holy calling,
not according to our works,
but according to His own purpose and grace,
which was given to us in Christ Jesus
before time began.

Remind them of these things, charging them before God not to fight about words; this is in no way profitable and leads to the ruin of the hearers.

I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and because of His appearing and His kingdom:

Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

in the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us.

Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us,

keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that lay before Him endured a cross and despised the shame and has sat down at the right hand of God’s throne.

Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.

He was chosen before the foundation of the world but was revealed at the end of the times for you

however, angels, who are greater in might and power, do not bring a slanderous charge against them before the Lord.

Therefore, dear friends, while you wait for these things, make every effort to be found at peace with Him without spot or blemish.

So now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He appears we may have boldness and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

Dear friends, if our conscience doesn’t condemn us, we have confidence before God

Now this is the confidence we have before Him: Whenever we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

They have testified to your love in front of the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner worthy of God,

to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time, now and forever. Amen.

John:

To the seven churches in Asia.

Grace and peace to you from the One who is, who was, and who is coming; from the seven spirits before His throne;

Be alert and strengthen what remains, which is about to die, for I have not found your works complete before My God.

In the same way, the victor will be dressed in white clothes, and I will never erase his name from the book of life but will acknowledge his name before My Father and before His angels.

I know your works. Because you have limited strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name, look, I have placed before you an open door that no one is able to close.

Flashes of lightning and rumblings of thunder came from the throne. Seven fiery torches were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.

Something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal, was also before the throne. Four living creatures covered with eyes in front and in back were in the middle and around the throne.

the 24 elders fall down before the One seated on the throne, worship the One who lives forever and ever, cast their crowns before the throne, and say:

When He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

After this I looked, and there was a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, which no one could number, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were robed in white with palm branches in their hands.

All the angels stood around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,

For this reason they are before the throne of God,
and they serve Him day and night in His sanctuary.
The One seated on the throne will shelter them:

The sixth angel blew his trumpet. From the four horns of the gold altar that is before God, I heard a voice

These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.

The 24 elders, who were seated before God on their thrones, fell facedown and worshiped God,

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:

The salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God
and the authority of His Messiah
have now come,
because the accuser of our brothers
has been thrown out:
the one who accuses them
before our God day and night.

He also performs great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in front of people.

They sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders, but no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.

Lord, who will not fear
and glorify Your name?
Because You alone are holy,
for all the nations will come
and worship before You
because Your righteous acts
have been revealed.

I also saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged according to their works by what was written in the books.
