Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;

He must increase, but I must decrease.

God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.

I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.

If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.

beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us—one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”

but get up and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do.”

for I will show him how much he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”

and after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”

In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you 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.’”

But on the night immediately following, the Lord stood at his side and said, “Take courage; for as you have solemnly witnessed to My cause at Jerusalem, so you must witness at Rome also.”

saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who are sailing with you.’

But we must run aground on a certain island.”

for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.

According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.

The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

(but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.

But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away.

Each man must remain in that condition in which he was called.

But if any man thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin daughter, if she is past her youth, and if it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let her marry.

For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.

But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret;

but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent.

But all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner.

For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

To my shame I must say that we have been weak by comparison.But in whatever respect anyone else is bold—I speak in foolishness—I am just as bold myself.

But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.

He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need.

But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints;

and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.

A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness.

An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity

And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain,

These men must also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons if they are beyond reproach.

Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.

Deacons must be husbands of only one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households.

but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed.

Those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, but must serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and preach these principles.

The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged,

For the overseer must be above reproach as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain,

who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach for the sake of sordid gain.

Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful.

For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.

For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;

Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises.

Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

Your adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses;

For,
“The one who desires life, to love and see good days,
Must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

“He must turn away from evil and do good;
He must seek peace and pursue it.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John,

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.”

And they *said to me, “You must prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.”

And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way.

If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints.

and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while.

and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.

And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.
