nor is he served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives life and breath and everything to everyone.

When they reached Ephesus, Paul left Priscilla and Aquila behind there, but he himself went into the synagogue and addressed the Jews.

So after sending two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, he himself stayed on for a while in the province of Asia.

But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, put his arms around him, and said, "Do not be distressed, for he is still alive!"

We went on ahead to the ship and put out to sea for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for he had arranged it this way. He himself was intending to go there by land.

By all these things, I have shown you that by working in this way we must help the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus that he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

Then Paul took the men the next day, and after he had purified himself along with them, he went to the temple and gave notice of the completion of the days of purification, when the sacrifice would be offered for each of them.

Then Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea, and he himself intended to go there shortly.

When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him.

So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

The Spirit himself bears witness to our spirit that we are God's children.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

For none of us lives for himself and none dies for himself.

Therefore, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

The faith you have, keep to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not judge himself by what he approves.

For even Christ did not please himself, but just as it is written, "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me."

The one who is spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is understood by no one.

If someone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a Christian who is sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or verbally abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

A person should examine himself first, and in this way let him eat the bread and drink of the cup.

For the one who eats and drinks without careful regard for the body eats and drinks judgment against himself.

The one who speaks in a tongue builds himself up, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.

But if there is no interpreter, he should be silent in the church. Let him speak to himself and to God.

If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, he should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord's command.

And when all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

And all these things are from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation.

In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people's trespasses against them, and he has given us the message of reconciliation.

In addition, this brother has also been chosen by the churches as our traveling companion as we administer this generous gift to the glory of the Lord himself and to show our readiness to help.

You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should reflect on this again: Just as he himself belongs to Christ, so too do we.

For it is not the person who commends himself who is approved, but the person the Lord commends.

And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age according to the will of our God and Father,

Until certain people came from James, he had been eating with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he stopped doing this and separated himself because he was afraid of those who were pro-circumcision.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

and though my physical condition put you to the test, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as though I were an angel of God, as though I were Christ Jesus himself!

And I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.

For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Let each one examine his own work. Then he can take pride in himself and not compare himself with someone else.

when he nullified in his flesh the law of commandments in decrees. He did this to create in himself one new man out of two, thus making peace,

because you have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.

and live in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God.

because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church -- he himself being the savior of the body.

Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her

so that he may present the church to himself as glorious -- not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.

In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Nevertheless, each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

but emptied himself by taking on the form of a slave, by looking like other men, and by sharing in human nature.

He humbled himself, by becoming obedient to the point of death -- even death on a cross!

who will transform these humble bodies of ours into the likeness of his glorious body by means of that power by which he is able to subject all things to himself.

He himself is before all things and all things are held together in him.

He is the head of the body, the church, as well as the beginning, the firstborn from among the dead, so that he himself may become first in all things.

and through him to reconcile all things to himself by making peace through the blood of his cross -- through him, whether things on earth or things in heaven.

Now may God our Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you.

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

Now may the God of peace himself make you completely holy and may your spirit and soul and body be kept entirely blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, and as a result he takes his seat in God's temple, displaying himself as God.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope,

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all.

For there is one God and one intermediary between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, himself human,

who gave himself as a ransom for all, revealing God's purpose at his appointed time.

If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, since he cannot deny himself.

So if someone cleanses himself of such behavior, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart, useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

He gave himself for us to set us free from every kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are truly his, who are eager to do good.

You know that such a person is twisted by sin and is conscious of it himself.

For since he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

and for this reason he is obligated to make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people.

So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming high priest, but the one who glorified him was God, who said to him, "You are my Son! Today I have fathered you,"

Now when God made his promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,

And it could be said that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid a tithe through Abraham.

He has no need to do every day what those priests do, to offer sacrifices first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people, since he did this in offering himself once for all.

But only the high priest enters once a year into the inner tent, and not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

and he entered once for all into the most holy place not by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, and so he himself secured eternal redemption.

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our consciences from dead works to worship the living God.

And he did not enter to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own,

Think of him who endured such opposition against himself by sinners, so that you may not grow weary in your souls and give up.

Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets what sort of person he was.

Adulterers, do you not know that friendship with the world means hostility toward God? So whoever decides to be the world's friend makes himself God's enemy.

When he was maligned, he did not answer back; when he suffered, he threatened no retaliation, but committed himself to God who judges justly.

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we may cease from sinning and live for righteousness. By his wounds you were healed.

And, after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

But if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

and he himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole world.

The one who says he resides in God ought himself to walk just as Jesus walked.

Now this is the promise that he himself made to us: eternal life.

And everyone who has this hope focused on him purifies himself, just as Jesus is pure).

(The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son.)

Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to the deeds he is doing -- the bringing of unjustified charges against us with evil words! And not being content with that, he not only refuses to welcome the brothers himself, but hinders the people who want to do so and throws them out of the church!

The beast that was, and is not, is himself an eighth king and yet is one of the seven, and is going to destruction.

His eyes are like a fiery flame and there are many diadem crowns on his head. He has a name written that no one knows except himself.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: "Look! The residence of God is among human beings. He will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them.
