"You must strain every nerve to get in through the narrow door, for I tell you many will try to get in, and will not succeed,

But I must go on today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not right for a prophet to die outside Jerusalem.'

And they all immediately began to excuse themselves. The first one said to him, 'I have bought a piece of land, and I must go and look at it. Please have me excused.'

And if he wrongs you seven times a day, and seven times turns to you and says, 'I am sorry,' you must forgive him."

So you also, when you do all you have been ordered to do, must say, 'We are good-for-nothing slaves! We have done only what we ought to have done!' "

But first he must go through much suffering, and be refused by this age.

A man who is on the roof of his house that day, with his goods in the house, must not go down to get them, and a man in the field, too, must not turn back.

He gave them an illustration to show that they must always pray and not give up,

A member of the council asked him, "Good master, what must I do to make sure of eternal life?"

When Jesus reached the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zaccheus, come down quickly! for I must stay at your house today."

But when you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, then you must understand that her devastation is at hand.

Then those who are in Judea must fly to the hills, those who are in the city must get out of it, and those who are in the country must not go into it,

So when you see these things happen, you must know that the Kingdom of God is at hand.

But you must be vigilant and always pray that you may succeed in escaping all this that is going to happen, and in standing in the presence of the Son of Man."

But you are not to do so, but whoever is greatest among you must be like the youngest, and the leader like a servant.

but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail. And afterward you yourself must turn and strengthen your brothers."

He said to them, "But now, if a man has a purse let him take it, and a bag too. And a man who has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.

For I tell you that this saying of Scripture must find its fulfilment in me: 'He was rated an outlaw.' Yes, that saying about me is to be fulfilled!"

when he said that the Son of Man must be handed over to wicked men and be crucified and rise again on the third day."

Then he said to them, "This is what I told you when I was still with you??hat everything that is written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must come true."

Do not wonder at my telling you that you must be born over again from above.

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

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

Our forefathers worshiped God on this mountain, and yet you Jews say that the place where people must worship God is at Jerusalem."

God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship him in spirit and in sincerity."

You must not work for the food that perishes, but for that which lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, for God the Father has authorized him to do so."

Then they said to him, "What must we do to carry out God's work?"

The crowd answered, "You must be possessed! Who is trying to kill you?"

You must not judge so externally; you must judge justly!"

We must carry on the work of him who has sent me while the daylight lasts. Night is coming, when no one can do any work.

But we do not know how it is that he can see now, or who has made him able to see. You must ask him. He is grown up. Let him tell you about himself."

That was why his parents said, "He is grown up; you must ask him."

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

If anyone serves me, he must follow me, and wherever I am found, my servant must be also. If anyone serves me, my Father will show him honor.

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

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

"Your minds must not be troubled; you must believe in God, and believe in me.

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

I leave you a blessing; I give you my own blessing. I do not give it to you as the world gives. Your minds must not be troubled or afraid.

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

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

But the saying of their Law, 'They hated me without cause,' must be fulfilled.

and you must bear testimony too, because you have been with me from the first.

For they did not yet understand the statement of Scripture that he must rise from the dead.

Jesus said to her, "You must not cling to me, for I have not yet gone up to my Father, but go to my brothers and say to them that I am going up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."

Jesus said to him, "If I wish him to wait till I come, what does it matter to you? You must follow me."

from his baptism by John to the time when he was caught up from us, must join us as a witness to his resurrection."

"Therefore the whole nation of Israel must understand that God has declared this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ."

Peter said to them, "You must repent, and every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, in order to have your sins forgiven; then you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit,

it was in this way that God fulfilled what he by all the prophets foretold that his Christ must suffer.

Yet he must remain in heaven till the time for the universal reformation of which God told in ancient times by the lips of his holy prophets.

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

you and the people of Israel must all know that it is through the power of Jesus Christ of Nazareth whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that he 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.

You, brothers, must pick out from your number seven men of good standing, who are wise and full of the Spirit, and we will put them in charge of this matter,

Everyone there, high and low, made much of him, and said, "He must be what is known as the Great Power of God!"

Simon answered, "You must pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things you have said may happen to me!"

You must understand therefore, my brothers, that through him the forgiveness of your sins is announced to you,

He led them out of the jail and said to them, "Gentlemen, what must I do to be saved?"

But as it is only a question of words and titles and your own law, you must look after it yourselves. I refuse to decide such matters."

After these events, Paul, under the Spirit's guidance, resolved to go to Jerusalem, and to revisit Macedonia and Greece on the way. "After I have gone there," he said, "I must see Rome also."

So as these facts are undeniable, you must be calm, and not do anything reckless.

But if you require anything beyond that, it must be settled before the regular assembly.

So you must be on your guard and remember that for three years, night and day, I never stopped warning any of you, even with tears.

I showed you in every way that by hard work like that we must help those who are weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, for he said, 'It makes one happier to give than to be given to.' "

As for the heathen who have become believers, we have written them our decision that they must avoid anything that has been contaminated by idols, the tasting of blood, the meat of strangled animals, and immorality."

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."

Now you and the council must suggest to the colonel that he should have Paul brought down to you, as you mean to look into his case more carefully, and we will be ready to kill him before he gets down."

but first to the people of Damascus and Jerusalem and then all over Judea, and even to the heathen I preached that they must repent and turn to God and live as men who have repented should.

and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul! You must stand before the emperor, and see! God has given you the lives of all the people who are on the ship with you.'

For merely hearing the Law read does not make a man upright in the sight of God; men must obey the Law to be made upright.

By no means! God must prove true, though every man be false; as the Scripture says, "That you may be shown to be upright in what you say, And win your case when you go into court."

So you also must think of yourselves as dead to sin but alive to God, through union with Christ Jesus.

So sin must not reign over your mortal bodies, and make you obey their cravings,

and you must not offer the parts of your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrong, but offer yourselves to God as men brought back from death to life, and offer the parts of your bodies to him as instruments of uprightness.

For sin must no longer control you, for you live not under law but under mercy.

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.

Then what shall we conclude? That the Law is sin? Certainly not! Yet, if it had not been for the Law, I should never have learned what sin was; I should not have known what it was to covet if the Law had not said, "You must not covet."

you must not look down upon the branches. If you do, remember that you do not support the root; the root supports you.

You must not adopt the customs of this world but by your new attitude of mind be transformed so that you can find out what God's will is??hat is good, pleasing, and perfect.

Your love must be genuine. You must hate what is wrong, and hold to what is right.

Everyone must obey the authorities that are over him, for no authority can exist without the permission of God; the existing authorities have been established by him,

You must obey them, therefore, not only to escape God's wrath, but as a matter of principle,

For the commandments, "You must not commit adultery, You must not murder, You must not steal, You must not covet," and any other commandments there are, are all summed up in one saying, "You must love your neighbor as you do yourself."

The man who will eat anything must not look down on the man who abstains from some things, and the man who abstains from them must not criticize the one who does not, for God has accepted him.

One man thinks one day better than another, while another thinks them all alike. Everybody must be fully convinced in his own mind.

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

Therefore let us not criticize one another any more. You must resolve instead never to put any hindrance or obstacle in your brother's way.

For if your brother's feelings are hurt by what you eat, your life is not governed by love. You must not, by what you eat, ruin a man for whom Christ died.

The thing you have a right to do must not become a cause of reproach.

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.

For your part, you must keep the faith you have to yourself, as between God and you. He is a happy man who has no fault to find with himself in following the course that he approves,

Everyone of us must try to please his neighbor, to do him good, and help in his development.

If a man's work is burned up, he must stand the loss, though he himself will be saved, but as one who has passed through the fire.

For while my conscience does not trouble me at all, that does not prove that I am innocent. It is the Lord who must examine me.

You must clean out the old yeast and become fresh dough, free from the old as you really are. For our Passover lamb is already sacrificed; it is Christ himself.

What I meant was that you are not to associate with anyone who is supposed to be a Christian brother, and yet is immoral or greedy or idolatrous or abusive or drunken or grasping??ith such a person you must not even eat.

and God's, to judge those who are outside? You must drive the wrongdoer out from among you.

The husband must give his wife what is due her, and the wife must do the same by her husband.
