How true that saying is! And it is on these subjects that I desire you to lay especial stress, so that those who have learned to trust in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing good. Such subjects are excellent in themselves, and of real use to mankind.

I pray that by their participation in your loyal faith they may have a vivid sense of how much good we Christians can attain.

I have indeed found great joy and encouragement in your love, knowing, as I do, how the hearts of Christ's People have been cheered, brother, by you.

no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

I, Paul, have written it with mine own hand. I will recompense it. So that I do not say to thee how that thou owest unto me even thine own self.

For if the word uttered through angels stood firm, so that every transgression and act of disobedience met with its just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?

how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;

But, as we know, a writer has solemnly said, "How poor a creature is man, and yet Thou dost remember him, and a son of man, and yet Thou dost come to him!

Therefore, my fellow-Christians, who have likewise heard the heavenly invitation, observe how faithful Jesus, the commissioner and high priest of our religion,

How faithful he was to the God who appointed him! For while Moses also was faithful in all God's house,

For he has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house.

Although He was a Son, He learned from what He suffered how to obey,

and have experienced how good God's message is and the mighty powers of the age to come,

In the same way, since it was God's desire to display more convincingly to the heirs of the promise how unchangeable His purpose was,

Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best spoils.

And by how much it was not without the swearing of an oath;

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

But you must continue to remember those earlier days, how after you were enlightened you endured a hard and painful struggle.

For ye suffered also with my bonds, and took in worth the spoiling of your goods, and that with gladness, knowing in yourselves how that ye had in heaven a better, and an enduring substance.

For, yet a little while, how short! how short! The Coming One will be here, and will not tarry;

By faith Moses, after his birth, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful and divinely favored child; and they were not afraid of the king’s (Pharaoh’s) decree.

Consider therefore how that he endured such speaking against him of sinners, lest ye should be wearied and faint in your minds.

And again, if the fathers of our flesh gave us punishment and had our respect, how much more will we be under the authority of the Father of spirits, and have life?

Look carefully [at how you are living] so that no one falls away from God's unearned favor, and that no "poisonous plant sprouts up" to cause trouble and corrupt many people [Note: This is an analogy from Deut. 29:16-18 being used as a warning against the evil influence of wicked people],

For you know how, when he afterward wished to claim the blessing, he was refused it, although he begged for it with tears, for he had no opportunity to repent of what he had done.

See that you do not refuse him who speaks. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,

Do not forget your former leaders, the men who brought you God's message. Remember how they ended their lives and imitate their faith.

forasmuch as ye know how that the trying of your faith bringeth patience:

For the sun comes up with its scorching heat and dries up the grass. The flower in it drops off, and its beauty is gone. That is how the rich person will fade away in his pursuits.

How blessed is the man who endures temptation! When he has passed the test, he will receive the victor's crown of life that God has promised to those who keep on loving him.

for he looks and then goes off and at once forgets how he looked.

Vain man, must I show you how lifeless a thing faith is, without its effects?

You see how faith was cooperating with deeds, and faith was made perfect by deeds.

Ye see, then, how that of deeds a man is justified, and not of faith only.

My brethren, be not every man a master; Remembering how that we shall receive the more damnation.

you see how manageable horses are made by the application of a bit, which makes them take what motion we please.

So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest.

What leads to [the unending] quarrels and conflicts among you? Do they not come from your [hedonistic] desires that wage war in your [bodily] members [fighting for control over you]?

Ye adulterers, and women that break matrimony: know ye not how that the friendship of the world is enmity to Godward? Whosoever will be friend of the world, is made the enemy of God.

How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth:

how do you know, what will happen to-morrow? for, "what is your life?" a vapour that just appears, and then vanishes.

Therefore if a man knoweth how to act properly, and doth not, he is criminal.

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.

So be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer keeps on waiting and waiting for the precious crop from his land; how he keeps up his patience over it until he gets the early and late rains,

Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

the Spirit of messiah within them foretold all the suffering of messiah and his after-glory, and they pondered when or how this was to come;

Forasmuch as ye know how that ye were not redeemed with corruptible gold and silver from your vain conversation, which ye received by the traditions of the fathers,

which is without any mixture, and will make you thrive. Since you have tasted how good the Lord is,

If so be that ye have tasted how pleasant the Lord is,

when they see how chaste and submissive you are.

For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:

Do not act as dictators over the people you are assigned to care for, but [rather] serve as examples of how they ought to live.

By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, have I written briefly, exhorting and testifying how that this is the true grace of God, wherein ye stand.

For the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old sins.

forasmuch as I am sure how that the time is at hand that I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed me.

and saved the upright Lot who was so distressed by the immoral conduct of unprincipled men??8 for as long as that upright man lived among them, day after day his upright soul was tormented by what he saw and heard of their lawless actions??9 then the Lord knows how to rescue God-fearing people from trial and to punish wrongdoers while they are being kept for the Day of Judgment,

(for when that righteous man resided among them, by what he saw and heard his righteous soul was vexed day after day with their unlawful doings) ??9 then be sure the Lord knows how to rescue pious folk from trial, and how to keep the unrighteous under punishment till the day of doom,

the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment;

This they know not - and that willingly: how that the heavens a great while ago were, and the earth that was in the water appeared up out of the water by the word of God:

Dearly beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, how that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Since then this whole system is to be destroyed, how holy should your conduct be, and how ardent your piety?

This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

But whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:

He that saith how that he is in the light, and yet hateth his brother, is in darkness even until this time.

Babes, I write unto you how that your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

I write unto you fathers, how that ye have known him that was from the beginning. I write unto you young men, how that ye have overcome the wicked. I write unto you young children, how that ye know the father.

I write unto you fathers, how that ye have known him that was from the beginning. I write unto you young men, how that ye be strong; and the word of God dwelleth in you, that ye have overcome the wicked.

Little children it is now the last time, and as ye have heard how that antichrist shall come: even now are there many antichrists come already, whereby we know that it is the last time.

I wrote not unto you, as though ye knew not the truth: but as unto them them that know it, and know also how that no lie cometh of truth.

Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world does not know us, because it did not know him.

This is how the children of God and those of the devil can be distinguished: No one who does not act uprightly or who does not love his brother is a child of God.

This is how we have come to know love: the Messiah gave his life for us. We, too, ought to give our lives for our brothers.

But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him?

This is how we will know that we belong to the truth and how we will be able to keep ourselves strong in his presence.

All who obey his commands keep in union with him, and he does with them; and this is how we know that he keeps in union with us??y the Spirit which he has given us.

This is how you can recognize God's Spirit: Every spirit who acknowledges that Jesus the Messiah has become human and remains so is from God.

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God. And the same is that spirit of antichrist, of whom ye have heard, how that he should come: and even now already is he in the world.

We belong to God. The person who knows God listens to us. Whoever does not belong to God does not listen to us. This is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.

This is how God's love was revealed among us: God sent his unique Son into the world so that we might live through him.

This is how we know that we abide in him and he in us: he has given us his Spirit.

This is how love has been perfected among us: we will have confidence on the day of judgment because, during our time in this world, we are just like him.

If any person say, I love God, yet hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he who loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love the God whom he hath not seen?

This is how we can be sure that we love the children of God: it is by loving God and obeying his commands.

For whoever [Note: The Greek says "whatever"] is [spiritually] conceived [and eventually born] by God will overcome [the evil influence of] the world. And this is [how] that victory can be gained over the world: [It is through] our faith [in God].

And this is the witness: how that God hath given unto us eternal life, and this life is in his son.

These things have I written unto you that believe in the name of the son of God, that ye may know how that ye have everlasting life, and that ye may believe in the name of the son of God.

And this is [how we can express] boldness in our relationship with God: Whatever we ask [of God, in prayer], so long as it is in harmony with His will for us, [we know] He hears our request.

I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, how thou in truth walkest.

I have no greater joy than for to hear how that my sons walk in verity.

So if I come, I will bring up the things that he is doing, and how he is maliciously accusing me. Not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers himself, and he is interfering with those who want to do so, and has them put out of the church.

Now it is my purpose to put you in mind, though you once had knowledge of all these things, of how the Lord, having taken a people safely out of Egypt, later sent destruction on those who had no faith;

how they told you that in the last time there will be scoffers, walking after their own ungodly passions.

How blessed is the one who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy and obey what is written in it, for the time is near!

Look, He [i.e., Jesus] is coming with [i.e., "on"] the clouds! And [then] every eye will see Him, including those who pierced Him, and all the peoples of the earth will grieve because of Him [i.e., because of how they had treated Him]. So it will be. May it be so.

I know your works and your toil and stedfastness, and that you cannot endure evil men, and that you tested those who called themselves apostles, though they are not, and how you found them false.

So remember how far you have fallen, and repent and do as you did at first, or else I will come to you and take your lampstand from its place, if you do not repent.

I have knowledge of your troubles and how poor you are (but you have true wealth), and the evil words of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a Synagogue of Satan.
