As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people were urging them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.

Even by saying these things, they scarcely persuaded the crowds not to offer sacrifice to them.

so that the rest of humanity may seek the Lord, namely, all the Gentiles I have called to be my own,' says the Lord, who makes these things

So they all seized Sosthenes, the president of the synagogue, and began to beat him in front of the judgment seat. Yet none of these things were of any concern to Gallio.

Now after all these things had taken place, Paul resolved to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. He said, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

He gathered these together, along with the workmen in similar trades, and said, "Men, you know that our prosperity comes from this business.

So because these facts are indisputable, you must keep quiet and not do anything reckless.

For you have brought these men here who are neither temple robbers nor blasphemers of our goddess.

These had gone on ahead and were waiting for us in Troas.

You yourselves know that these hands of mine provided for my needs and the needs of those who were with me.

By all these things, I have shown you that by working in this way we must help the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus that he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

When he had said these things, he knelt down with them all and prayed.

After these days we got ready and started up to Jerusalem.

Then the commanding officer sent the young man away, directing him, "Tell no one that you have reported these things to me."

When you examine him yourself, you will be able to learn from him about all these things we are accusing him of doing."

The Jews also joined in the verbal attack, claiming that these things were true.

I have a hope in God (a hope that these men themselves accept too) that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

Or these men here should tell what crime they found me guilty of when I stood before the council,

But Festus, wanting to do the Jews a favor, asked Paul, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be tried before me there on these charges?"

Because I was at a loss how I could investigate these matters, I asked if he were willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on these charges.

As Paul was saying these things in his defense, Festus exclaimed loudly, "You have lost your mind, Paul! Your great learning is driving you insane!"

For whenever the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things required by the law, these who do not have the law are a law to themselves.

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us!

For Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: "The one who does these things will live by them."

For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree?

But now there is nothing more to keep me in these regions, and I have for many years desired to come to you

For these are the kind who do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By their smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of the naive.

God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.

I have applied these things to myself and Apollos because of you, brothers and sisters, so that through us you may learn "not to go beyond what is written," so that none of you will be puffed up in favor of the one against the other.

I am not writing these things to shame you, but to correct you as my dear children.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not only the talk of these arrogant people, but also their power.

But if the unbeliever wants a divorce, let it take place. In these circumstances the brother or sister is not bound. God has called you in peace.

Am I saying these things only on the basis of common sense, or does the law not say this as well?

But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing these things so that something will be done for me. In fact, it would be better for me to die than -- no one will deprive me of my reason for boasting!

I do all these things because of the gospel, so that I can be a participant in it.

These things happened as examples for us, so that we will not crave evil things as they did.

These things happened to them as examples and were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

What should you do then, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.

Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that could defile the body and the spirit, and thus accomplish holiness out of reverence for God.

But I am sending these brothers so that our boasting about you may not be empty in this case, so that you may be ready just as I kept telling them.

Therefore I thought it necessary to urge these brothers to go to you in advance and to arrange ahead of time the generous contribution you had promised, so this may be ready as a generous gift and not as something you feel forced to do.

Because of this I am writing these things while absent, so that when I arrive I may not have to deal harshly with you by using my authority -- the Lord gave it to me for building up, not for tearing down!

But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints.

Let nobody deceive you with empty words, for because of these things God's wrath comes on the sons of disobedience.

But these assets I have come to regard as liabilities because of Christ.

who will transform these humble bodies of ours into the likeness of his glorious body by means of that power by which he is able to subject all things to himself.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things.

And what you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these things. And the God of peace will be with you.

these are only the shadow of the things to come, but the reality is Christ!

These are all destined to perish with use, founded as they are on human commands and teachings.

Because of these things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.

And to all these virtues add love, which is the perfect bond.

And Jesus who is called Justus also sends greetings. In terms of Jewish converts, these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

so that no one would be shaken by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are destined for this.

In this matter no one should violate the rights of his brother or take advantage of him, because the Lord is the avenger in all these cases, as we also told you earlier and warned you solemnly.

Therefore encourage one another with these words.

Surely you recall that I used to tell you these things while I was still with you.

Some have strayed from these and turned away to empty discussion.

Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.

Command and teach these things.

Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that everyone will see your progress.

Reinforce these commands, so that they will be beyond reproach.

Before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, I solemnly charge you to carry out these commands without prejudice or favoritism of any kind.

For some of these insinuate themselves into households and captivate weak women who are overwhelmed with sins and led along by various passions.

And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these people -- who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith -- also oppose the truth.

as well as the persecutions and sufferings that happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, and in Lystra. I endured these persecutions and the Lord delivered me from them all.

So communicate these things with the sort of exhortation or rebuke that carries full authority. Don't let anyone look down on you.

This saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on such truths, so that those who have placed their faith in God may be intent on engaging in good works. These things are good and beneficial for all people.
