But you must practice loving your enemies, doing good to them, and lending to them, despairing of nothing; so that your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Then He said to them all, "If anyone chooses to be my disciple, he must say 'No' to self, put the cross on his shoulders daily, and continue to follow me.

Then Jesus answered, "O you unbelieving, stubborn people of the times! How long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring him here to me."

"You must store away in your memories these words, for the Son of Man is going to be turned over to the hands of men!"

However, you must stop rejoicing over the fact that the spirits are submitting to you, but continue to rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven."

Then he answered, "You must love the Lord your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole strength, and your whole mind, and your neighbor as you do yourself."

But there is actual need of few things, really of only one thing. For Mary has chosen the good portion which must not be taken away from her."

So you must stop seeking what to eat and what to drink, and must stop being in suspense about these things.

"You must keep your belts tight and your lamps burning,

So you, too, must always be ready, for at an hour that you are not expecting, the Son of Man will come."

But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had cured her on the Sabbath, answered the crowd, "There are six days on which people must work; so come on these and be cured, but not on the Sabbath."

"You must struggle on to get in through the narrow door, for I tell you, many will try to get in, but will not succeed,

But I must continue on my way, for it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem.'

But they all in the same attitude began to excuse themselves. The first one said, 'I have just bought a piece of land and I must go and look it over. Please excuse me.'

Even if he sins against you seven times in a day and seven times turns to you and says, 'I am sorry,' you must forgive him."

The man who is on the roof of his house that day, and his goods in the house, must not come down to carry them out; and the man in the field, too, must not turn back.

Then a certain member of the council asked Him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to get possession of eternal life?"

And as Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zaccheus, come down quickly! for today I must stop at your house."

So He said, "You must take care not to be misled about it! For many will come bearing the name of Messiah, and saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not go after them.

So you must purpose in your hearts not to prepare beforehand how to make your defense,

So when you see these things taking place, you must understand that the kingdom of God is near.

But you are not to do so. On the contrary, the greatest among you must be like the youngest and the leader as the servant.

but I have prayed especially for you that your own faith may not utterly fail. And you yourself, after you have turned, must strengthen your brothers."

Then He said to them, "But now the man who has a purse must take it, and a bag too. And the man who does not have a sword must sell his coat and buy one.

For I tell you, what has been written about me must be fulfilled: 'He was classed with the outlaws.' Yes, that saying about me has its fulfillment."

And I will send down upon you what my Father has promised. But you, on your part, must stay right here in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

Never wonder at my telling you that you must all be born from above.

And just as Moses in the desert lifted the serpent on the pole, the Son of Man must be lifted up,

He must grow greater and greater, but I less and less."

God is a spiritual Being, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and reality."

Then they asked Him, "What must we do to perform the works that God demands?"

So His brothers said to Him, "You must leave here and go to Judea, to let your disciples also see the works that you are doing;

Stop judging superficially; you must judge fairly."

They answered Him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you are Abraham's children, you must be practicing what Abraham did.

We must continue to do the works of Him who sent me while it is daylight. Night is coming when no one can do any work.

I have other sheep too that do not belong to this fold. I must lead them too, and they will listen to my voice, and all my sheep will become one flock with one shepherd.

If anyone serves me, he must continue to follow me, and my servant also must go wherever I go. If anyone serves me, my Father will show him honor.

The crowd answered Him, "We have learned from the law that the Christ is to remain here forever, and so how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

Peter said to Him, "You must never wash my feet!" Jesus answered, "Unless I do wash you, you can have no share with me."

I do not mean all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but I know that the Scriptures must be fulfilled: 'The man who is eating my bread has lifted his heel against me.'

I give you a new command, to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you too must love one another.

You must believe me, that I am in union with the Father and that the Father is in union with me, or else you must do so because of the very things that I am doing.

You must remain in union with me and I will remain in union with you. Just as no branch by itself can bear fruit unless it remains united to the vine, so you cannot unless you remain in union with me.

I have loved you just as the Father has loved me. You must remain in my love.

Up to this time you have not asked for anything as bearers of my name, but now you must keep on asking, and you will receive, that your cup of joy may be full to the brim.

Then Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back into the sheath. Must I not drink the cup which the Father has handed me?"

But they shouted, "Kill Him! Kill Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Must I crucify your king?" The high priests answered, "We have no king but the emperor!"

So the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "You must not write, 'The king of the Jews,' but write, 'He said, I am the king of the Jews.'"

For they had not previously understood the Scripture which said that He must rise from the dead.

Jesus answered him, "If I wish him to wait until I come, what is that to you? You must keep on following me."

but you are going to receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you must be witnesses for me in Jerusalem and all over Judea and Samaria, and to the very ends of the earth."

from the time of His baptism by John down to the day when He was taken up from us, must be added to our number as a witness to His resurrection."

Peter said to them, "You must repent -- and, as an expression of it, let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ -- that you may have your sins forgiven; and then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,

Yet heaven must retain Him till the time for the universal restoration of which God in the early ages spoke through the lips of His holy prophets.

Moses, indeed, said: 'The Lord God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, as He did me. You must attentively listen to everything that He tells you.

you and all the people of Israel must know that it is by the authority of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead -- yes, I repeat it, it is by His authority that this man stands here before you well.

But Peter and John answered them, "You must decide whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you instead of Him,

Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men.

So, brothers, you must select from your number seven men of good standing, full of the Spirit, and of good practical sense, and we will assign them to this business,

For I am going to show him how great are the sufferings he must endure for my name's sake."

A second time the voice came to him, "The things that God has cleansed you must not call unclean."

Then the voice from heaven answered again, 'The things that God has cleansed you must not call unclean.'

So, my brothers, you must understand that through Him the forgiveness of your sins is now proclaimed to you,

strengthening the hearts of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith, and warning them that it is through enduring many hardships that we must get into the kingdom of God.

But some members of the Pharisaic party, who had become believers, arose and said that such converts must be circumcised and told to keep the law of Moses.

After leading them out of the jail, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

After these events had been brought to a close, Paul under the guidance of the Spirit decided to pass through Macedonia and Greece on his way to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have gone there I must see Rome too."

So, as this cannot be denied, you must be quiet and do nothing rash.

But if you require anything beyond this, it must be settled in the regular assembly.

In everything I showed you that by working hard like this we must help those who are weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It makes one happier to give than to get.'"

Now you must do just what we tell you. We have here four men who are under a vow.

As for the heathen who have become believers, we have sent them our resolution that they must avoid anything that is contaminated by idols, the tasting of blood, the meat of strangled animals, and sexual immorality."

Paul answered, "I did not know, brothers, that he was high priest, for the Scripture says, 'You must not speak evil against any ruler of your people.'"

But that same night the Lord stood by Paul's side and said, "Courage! For just as you have testified for me in Jerusalem, you must testify for me in Rome, too."

So you and the council must now notify the colonel to bring him down to you, as though you were going to look into his case more carefully, but before he gets down we will be ready to kill him."

and said, "Stop being afraid, Paul. You must stand before the Emperor; and listen! God has graciously given to you the lives of all who are sailing with you.'

And yet we must be stranded on some island."

"So you must understand that this message of God's salvation has been sent to the heathen; and they will listen to it!"

For in the good news God's Way of man's right standing with Him is uncovered, the Way of faith that leads to greater faith, just as the Scripture says, "The upright man must live by faith."

So you too must consider yourselves as having ended your relation to sin but living in unbroken relation to God.

Accordingly, sin must not continue to reign over your mortal bodies, so as to make you continue to obey their evil desires,

and you must stop offering to sin the parts of your bodies as instruments for wrongdoing, but you must once for all offer yourselves to God as persons raised from the dead to live on perpetually, and once for all offer the parts of your bodies to God as instruments for right-doing.

For sin must not any longer exert its mastery over you, for now you are not living as slaves to law but as subjects to God's favor.

I am speaking in familiar human terms because of the frailty of your nature. For just as you formerly offered the parts of your bodies in slavery to impurity and to ever increasing lawlessness, so now you must once for all offer them in slavery to right-doing, which leads to consecration.

What are we then to conclude? Is the law sin? Of course not! Yet, if it had not been for the law, I should not have learned what sin was, for I should not have known what an evil desire was, if the law had not said, "You must not have an evil desire."

But if Christ lives in you, although your bodies must die because of sin, your spirits are now enjoying life because of right standing with God.

you must not be boasting against the natural branches. And if you do, just consider, you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

Your love must be true. You must always turn in horror from what is wrong, but keep on holding to what is right.

Everybody must obey the civil authorities that are over him, for no authority exists except by God's permission; the existing authorities have been established by Him,

Therefore, you must obey them, not only for the sake of escaping punishment, but also for conscience' sake;

For the commandments, "You must not commit adultery; you must not murder; you must not steal; you must not have an evil desire," and any other commandment if there is any, are summed up in this command, "You must love your neighbor as you do yourself."

The man who eats anything must not look down on the man who does not do so, nor must the man who does not do so condemn the man who does, for God has fully accepted him.

So each of us must give an account of himself to God.

On your part, you must exercise your faith by the standard of yourself in the sight of God. Happy is the man who need not condemn himself for doing the thing that he approves.

Each one of us must practice pleasing his neighbor, to help in his immediate upbuilding for his eternal good.

As a skilled architect, in accordance with God's unmerited favor given to me, I laid a foundation, and now another is building upon it. But every builder must be careful how he builds upon it;

Let no one deceive himself. If any one of you supposes that he is wise in this world's wisdom, as compared with the rest of you, to become really wise he must become a fool.

For although my conscience does not accuse me, yet I am not entirely vindicated by that. It is the Lord Himself who must examine me.

So you must stop forming any premature judgments, but wait until the Lord shall come again, for He will bring to light the secrets hidden in the dark and will make known the motives of men's hearts, and the proper praise will be awarded each of us.

You must clean out the old yeast, that you may be a fresh lump, as you are to be free from the old yeast. For our Passover Lamb, Christ, has already been sacrificed.
