Cornelius answered, "Three days ago, just at this time of day, I was praying in my house about three o'clock, when a man in dazzling clothing stood before me,

"Can anyone refuse the use of water to baptize these people when they have received the holy Spirit just as we did?"

Just at that moment three men, who had been sent from Caesarea to find me, reached the house where we were staying,

When I began to speak to them, the holy Spirit fell upon them just as it did upon us at the beginning,

that God has fulfilled to us, their children, the promise that he made to our forefathers, by raising Jesus to life, just as the Scripture says in the second psalm, You are my Son! Today I have become your Father!'

And God who knows men's hearts testified for them by giving them the holy Spirit just as he had done to us,

Why, we believe that it is by the mercy of the Lord Jesus that we are saved just as they are."

It woke up the jailer, and when he saw that the doors of the jail were open, he drew his sword and was just going to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

So they took him and brought him to the council of the Areopagus and said, "May we know just what this new teaching of yours is?

Some of the things you tell us sound strange to us, and we want to know just what they mean."

Just at that time a great commotion arose about the Way.

where he stayed for three months. Just as he was going to sail for Syria, the Jews made a plot against him, and he made up his mind to return by way of Macedonia.

Just as they were going to take him into the barracks, Paul said to the colonel, "May I say something to you?" "Do you know Greek?" the colonel asked.

"I am a Jew, and I was born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but was brought up here in this city, and thoroughly educated under the teaching of Gamaliel in the Law of our forefathers. I was zealous for God, just as all of you are today.

On the following night the Lord stood beside him and said, "Courage! For just as you have testified for me in Jerusalem, you must testify in Rome also."

This man had been seized by the Jews and they were just going to kill him when I came upon them with my men and rescued him, as I had learned that he was a Roman citizen.

and they cannot sustain the charges they have just made against me.

So keep up your courage, gentlemen! For I have faith in God that it will be just as I was told.

In it God's way of uprightness is disclosed through faith and for faith, just as the Scripture says, "The upright will have life because of his faith."

And just as they refused to recognize God any longer, God has abandoned them to unworthy impulses and indecent conduct.

It is just like the way in which through one man sin came into the world, and death followed sin, and so death spread to all men, because all men sinned.

So as one offense meant condemnation for all men, just so one righteous act means acquittal and life for all men.

For just as that one man's disobedience made the mass of mankind sinners, so this one's obedience will make the mass of them upright.

so that just as sin had reigned through death, mercy might reign through uprightness and bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Through baptism we have been buried with him in death, so that just as he was raised from the dead through the Father's glory, we too may live a new life.

I use these familiar human terms because of the limitations of your nature. For just as you before gave up the parts of your bodies in slavery to vice and greater and greater license, you must now give them up in slavery to uprightness, which leads to consecration.

So the Law itself is holy, and each command is holy, just, and good.

Just as he says in Hosea, "I will call a people that was not mine, my people, And her who was not beloved, my beloved,

and then all Israel will be saved, just as the Scripture says, "The deliverer will come from Zion, He will drive all ungodliness away from Jacob,

For just as you once disobeyed God, but now have had mercy shown you because they disobeyed,

For just as there are many parts united in our human bodies, and the parts do not all have the same function,

just as you pay your taxes; they are God's ministers, devoting themselves to this service.

You must not, just for the sake of food, undo the work of God. It is true, everything is clean, but it is wrong for a man to hurt the consciences of others by what he eats.

It is the duty of us who are strong to put up with the weaknesses of those who are immature, and not just suit ourselves.

Therefore, treat one another like brothers, in God's honor, just as Christ has treated you.

But, just to refresh your memories, I have written you pretty boldly on some points, because of the favor God has shown me

Just now I am starting for Jerusalem, to take help to God's people.

For what human being can understand a man's thoughts except the man's own spirit within him? Just so no one understands the thoughts of God but the spirit of God.

So, for my part, brothers, I could not treat you as spiritual persons; I had to treat you just as creatures of flesh and blood, as babies in Christian living.

What is Apollos? Or what is Paul? Just servants through whom you came to have faith, as the Lord gave each of us opportunity.

I should like to have everyone be just as I am myself; but each one has his own special gift from God, one of one kind, and one of another.

For a slave who has been called to union with the Lord is a freedman of the Lord, just as a free man who has been called is a slave of Christ.

This, then, is my opinion in view of the present distress??hat it is a good thing for a man to remain just as he is.

For supposing there are so-called gods in heaven or on earth??nd indeed there are plenty of such gods and lords??6 yet for us there is just one God, the Father, who is the source of all things, and for whom we live, and just one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom everything was made and through whom we live.

In just that way the Lord directed that those who preach the good news should get their living from it.

just as I for my part try to please everyone in all I do, not aiming at my own advantage, but at that of people generally, in order that they may be saved.

I appreciate your always remembering me, and your standing by the things I passed on to you, just as you received them.

and any woman who offers prayer or explains the will of God bareheaded disgraces her head, for it is just as though she had her head shaved.

For just as woman was made from man, man is born of woman, and both like everything else really come from God.

These are all produced by one and the same Spirit, and apportioned to each of us just as the Spirit chooses.

For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, many as they are, form one body, so it is with Christ.

Women are to keep quiet in church, for they are not allowed to speak. They must take a subordinate place, just as the Law says.

For just as because of their relation to Adam all men die, so because of their relation to Christ they will all be brought to life again.

and God gives it just such a form as he pleases, so that each kind of seed has a form of its own.

For I do not want to see you now just in passing, for I hope to spend some time with you if the Lord permits it.

If Timothy reaches you, put him at his ease among you, for he is devoted to the Lord's work, just as I am.

My hopes for you are unshaken. For I know that just as surely as you share my sufferings, just so surely you will share my comfort.

What bargain can a temple of God make with idols? For we are a temple of the living God, just as God said, "I will live in them and move among them, And I will be their God and they will be my people."

If I did express some pride in you to him, I have had no reason to be ashamed of it, but just as all I said to you was true, my boasting before Titus has also proved true.

Just as you excel in everything else??aith, expression, knowledge, perfect devotion, and the love we have awakened in you??ou must excel in this generous undertaking too.

You look at things externally. If anyone is sure he belongs to Christ, let him think again and understand that I belong to Christ just as much as he.

Such people had better understand that when I arrive and take action I will do just as I say I will in my letters when I am far away.

But I am afraid that just as the serpent by his cunning deceived Eve, your thoughts will be led astray from their single-hearted fidelity to Christ.

On the contrary, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the good news for the heathen, just as Peter had been intrusted with it for the Jews??8 for he who actuated Peter to be an apostle to the Jews also actuated me to be one to the heathen??9 and when they recognized the favor God had shown me, James, Cephas, and John, who were regarded as pillars of the church, pledged Barnabas and me their co-operation, with the understanding that we should work among the heathen and they among the Jews.

Just as Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him as uprightness.

Take my position, I beg you, brothers, just as I once took yours! You took no advantage of me then;

But it is a finer thing to be made much of honestly and constantly??ot just when I can be with you,

But just as then the child born in the ordinary course of nature persecuted the one born through the influence of the Spirit, so it is today.

Do not be deceived. God is not to be sneered at. A man will reap just what he sows.

and how the secret was made known to me by revelation, as I have just briefly written.

There is but one body and one Spirit, just as there is but one hope that belongs to the summons you received.

You must be kind to one another, you must be tender-hearted, and forgive one another just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

and lead loving lives, just as Christ loved you and gave himself for you, as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

for a husband is the head of his wife, just as Christ is the head of the church, which is his body, and is saved by him.

Just as the church is in subjection to Christ, so married women must be, in everything, to their husbands.

You who are husbands must love your wives, just as Christ loves the church and gave himself for her,

for no one ever hates his own person, but he feeds it and takes care of it, just as Christ does with the church,

But each one of you must love his wife just as he loves himself, and the wife, too, must respect her husband.

just as you must be glad and congratulate me.

So I hope to send him to you just as soon as I can see how my case is going to turn out.

You have paid me in full, and more too. I am fully supplied with what I have received from you through Epaphroditus. It is like fragrant incense, just such a sacrifice as God welcomes and approves.

So just as you once accepted the Christ, Jesus, as your Lord, you must live in vital union with him.

You must be rooted and built up in him and made strong in faith, just as you were taught to be, overflowing with it in your gratitude.

You must bear with one another and forgive one another, if anyone has reason to be offended with anyone else. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must forgive.

We had just been through ill-treatment and insults at Philippi, as you remember, but, in the face of great opposition, we took courage by the help of our God, and told you God's good news.

But now that Timothy has just come back to me from you, and brought me good news of your faith and love, and told me how kindly you think of me and that you long to see me just as much as I long to see you,

Therefore encourage one another and strengthen one another, just as you are doing.

since God considers it only just to repay with suffering those who are making you suffer

Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, these people in turn oppose the truth; they are men of depraved minds and counterfeit faith.

But they will not make much progress, for everyone will perceive their folly, just as they did that of those others.

standing by the message that can be relied on, just as he was taught it, so that he may be qualified both to encourage others with wholesome teaching and to show the error of those who oppose him.

has been to the God who appointed him, just as Moses was, in all the house of God.

For we have had good news preached to us, just as they did, but the message they heard did them no good because they did not agree through faith with what they heard.

For all who are admitted to God's Rest rest after their work, just as God did after his.

For our high priest is not one who is incapable of sympathy with our weaknesses, but he has been tempted in every way just as we have, without committing any sin.

Further, if he were still on earth, he would not be a priest at all, for there are priests enough provided to offer the gifts the Law prescribes??5 though the service they engage in is only a shadow and imitation of that in heaven. For when Moses was going to make the tent of worship he was warned, "Be sure to make it all just like the pattern you were shown on the mountain."

And just as men are destined to die once and after that to be judged,

But whoever looks at the faultless law that makes men free and keeps looking, so that he does not just listen and forget, but obeys and acts upon it, will be blessed in what he does.

Just as the body without the spirit is dead, faith is dead without good deeds.

when you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow! You are just a mist, which appears for a little while and then disappears.
