All those will come to me who are the Father's gift to me, and never will I reject one of them;

and the will of him who sent me is that I lose none of those who are his gift to me, but that I raise them all up on the last day.

(he meant by this the Spirit which those who believed in him were to receive: ??as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus had not been glorified yet).

Whereupon the neighbours and those to whom he had been a familiar sight as a beggar, said, "Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?"

They gave a supper for him there; Martha waited on him, and Lazarus was among those who reclined at table beside him.

Now there were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the festival;

(None of those at table understood why he said this to him;

I pray for them ??not for the world but for those whom thou hast given me do I pray; for they are thine

(this was to fulfil his own word: 'I did not lose a single one of those whom thou didst give me').

Jesus said to him, "You believe because you have seen me? Blessed be those who believe though they have never seen me."

"My brothers," said he, "it had to be fulfilled, that scripture which the holy Spirit uttered beforehand by the lips of David with regard to Judas who acted as guide to those who arrested Jesus.

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

So those who accepted what he said were baptized; about three thousand souls were brought in, that day.

when a man lame from birth was carried past, who used to be laid every day at what was called the 'Beautiful Gate' of the temple, to ask alms from those who entered the temple.

(A number of those who heard them speak believed, bringing up their numbers to [about] five thousand.)

There was not a needy person among them, for those who owned land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sale,

To these facts we bear witness, with the holy Spirit which God has given to those who obey him."

Some of those who belonged to the so-called synagogue of the Libyans, the Cyrenians, and the Alexandrians, as well as to that of the Cilicians and Asiatics, started a dispute with Stephen,

They actually made a calf in those days, offered sacrifice to this idol, and grew festive over what their own hands had manufactured.

Which of the prophets did your fathers fail to persecute? They killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Just One. And here you have betrayed him, murdered him! ??53 you who got the Law that angels transmitted, and have not obeyed it!"

Now those who were scattered went through the land preaching the gospel.

He lost no time in preaching throughout the synagogues that Jesus was the Son of God ??21 to the amazement of all his hearers, who said, "Is this not the man who in Jerusalem harried those who invoke this Name, the man who came here for the express purpose of carrying them all in chains to the high priests?"

Now those who had been scattered by the trouble which arose over Stephen made their way as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, but they preached the word to none except Jews.

For many days he was seen by those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem; they are now his witnesses to the People.

Hence, in my opinion, we ought not to put fresh difficulties in the way of those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles,

Then after some time had passed the brothers let them go with a greeting of peace to those who had sent them.

He argued in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout proselytes and also in the marketplace daily with those who chanced to be present.

As he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers wrote and urged the disciples there to give him a welcome. And on his arrival he proved of great service to those who by God's grace had believed,

Some strolling Jewish exorcists also undertook to pronounce the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches!"

as the high priest and all the council of elders can testify. It was from them that I got letters to the brotherhood at Damascus, and then journeyed thither to bind those who had gathered there and bring them back to Jerusalem for punishment.

'But, Lord,' I said, 'they surely know it was I who imprisoned and flogged those who believed in you throughout the synagogues,

Then those who were to have examined him left him at once alone; even the commander was alarmed to find that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had bound him.

Then the high priest Ananias ordered those who were standing next Paul to strike him on the mouth.

that their eyes may be opened and that they may turn from darkness to light, from the power of Satan to God, to get remission of their sins and an inheritance among those who are consecrated by faith in me.'

I announced to those at Damascus and at Jerusalem in the first instance, then all over the land of Judaea, and also to the Gentiles, that they were to repent and turn to God by acting up to their repentance.

Then the king rose, with the governor and Bernice and those who had been seated beside them.

but as the officer wanted to save Paul, he put a stop to their plan, ordering those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land,

But God's anger is revealed from heaven against all the impiety and wickedness of those who hinder the Truth by their wickedness.

though they know God's decree that people who practise such vice deserve death, they not only do it themselves but applaud those who practise it.

'We know the doom of God falls justly upon those who practise such vices.'

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?

eternal life to those who by patiently doing good aim at glory, honour, and immortality,

but anger and wrath to those who are wilful, who disobey the Truth and obey wickedness ??9 anguish and calamity for every human soul that perpetrates evil, for the Jew first and for the Greek as well,

For it is not the hearers of the Law who are just in the eyes of God, it is those who obey the Law who will be acquitted,

And shall not those who are physically uncircumcised and who fulfil the Law, judge you who are a breaker of the Law for all your written code and circumcision?)

Whatever the Law says, we know, it says to those who are inside the Law, that every mouth may be shut and all the world made answerable to God;

as well as a father of those circumcised persons who not only share circumcision but walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had as an uncircumcised man.

That is why all turns upon faith; it is to make the promise a matter of favour, to make it secure for all the offspring, not simply for those who are adherents of the Law but also for those who share the faith of Abraham ??of Abraham who is the father of us all

Nevertheless, from Adam to Moses death reigned even over those whose sins were not like Adam's transgression. Adam prefigured Him who was to come,

For if the trespass of one man allowed death to reign through that one man, much more shall those who receive the overflowing grace and free gift of righteousness reign in life through One, through Jesus Christ.

Thus there is no doom now for those who are in Christ Jesus;

For those who follow the flesh have their interests in the flesh, and those who follow the Spirit have their interests in the Spirit.

Those who are in the flesh cannot satisfy God.

For the sons of God are those who are guided by the Spirit of God.

We know also that those who love God, those who have been called in terms of his purpose, have his aid and interest in everything.

For he decreed of old that those whom he predestined should share the likeness of his Son ??that he might be the firstborn of a great brotherhood.

Then he calls those whom he has thus decreed; then he justifies those whom he has called; then he glorifies those whom he has justified.

As indeed he says in Hosea, Those who were no people of mine, I will call 'my People,' and her 'beloved' who was not beloved;

And then Isaiah dares to say, I have been found by those who never sought me, I have shown myself to those who never inquired of me.

Consider both the kindness and the severity of God; those who fall come under his severity, but you come under the divine kindness, provided you adhere to that kindness. Otherwise, you will be cut away too.

Bless those who make a practice of persecuting you; bless them instead of cursing them.

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

Christ certainly did not please himself, but, as it is written, The reproaches of those who denounced Thee have fallen upon me. ??4 All such words were written of old for our instruction, that by remaining stedfast and drawing encouragement from the scriptures we may cherish hope.

Salute that tried Christian, Apelles. Salute those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

Brothers, I beg of you to keep your eye on those who stir up dissensions and put hindrances in your way, contrary to the doctrine which you have been taught. Avoid them.

to the church of God at Corinth, to those who are consecrated in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, as well as to all who, wherever they may be, invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord no less than ours:

Those who are doomed to perish find the story of the cross 'sheer folly,' but it means the power of God for those whom he saves.

but for those who are called, whether Jews or Greeks, a Christ who is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

We do discuss 'wisdom' with those who are mature; only it is not the wisdom of this world or of the dethroned Powers who rule this world,

No, as it is written, what no eye has ever seen, what no ear has ever heard, what never entered the mind of man, God has prepared all that for those who love him.

To ensure this, I am sending you Timotheus, my beloved and trustworthy son in the Lord; he will remind you of those methods in Christ Jesus which I teach everywhere in every church.

Outsiders it is no business of mine to judge. No, you must judge those who are inside the church, for yourselves;

Of course, if you are actually married, there is no sin in that; and if a maid marries, there is no sin in that. (At the same time those who marry will have outward trouble ??and I would spare you that.)

I mean, brothers, ??the interval has been shortened; so let those who have wives live as if they had none,

let those who mix in the world live as if they were not engrossed in it, for the present phase of things is passing away.

so the Lord's instructions were that those who proclaim the gospel are to get their living by the gospel?

To Jews I have become like a Jew, to win over Jews; to those under the Law I have become as one of themselves ??though I am not under the Law myself ??to win over those under the Law;

to those outside the Law I have become like one of themselves ??though I am under Christ's law, not outside God's Law ??to win over those outside the Law;

Look at the rites of Israel. Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?

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

More than that: those who have slept the sleep of death in Christ have perished after all.

But it is not so! Christ did rise from the dead, he was the first to be reaped of those who sleep in death.

On my arrival I will furnish credentials for those whom you select, and send them to convey your bounty to Jerusalem;

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 live for God as the fragrance of Christ breathed alike on those who are being saved and on those who are perishing,

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.

for those of us whose eyes are on the unseen, not on the seen; for the seen is transient, the unseen eternal.

No, I intend to go on as I am doing, in order to checkmate those who would fain make out that in the apostolate of which they boast they work on the same terms as I do.

instead of going up to Jerusalem to see those who had been apostles before me, I went off at once to Arabia, and on my return I came back to Damascus.

Well then, you see that the real sons of Abraham are those who rely on faith.

So that those who rely on faith are blessed along with believing Abraham.

but Scripture has consigned all without exception to the custody of sin, in order that the promise due to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who have faith.

to ransom those who were under the Law, that we might get our sonship.

In those days, when you were ignorant of God, you were in servitude to gods who are really no gods at all;

O that those who are upsetting you would get themselves castrated!

gentleness, self-control: ??there is no law against those who practise such things.

Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its emotions and passions.

Those who are taught must share all the blessings of life with those who teach them the Word.

in which you moved as you followed the course of this world, under the sway of the prince of the air ??the spirit which is at present active within those sons of disobedience

Remember, then, that once upon a time you Gentiles in the flesh, who are called 'the Uncircumcision' by that so-called 'Circumcision' which is itself the product of human hands in the flesh ??12 remember you were in those days outside Christ, aliens to the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the Promise, devoid of hope and God within the world.
