But there was a certain man named Simon, who in the past had been a wonder-worker and a cause of surprise to the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was a great man:

And Simon himself had faith and, having had baptism, he went with Philip and, seeing the signs and the great wonders which he did, he was full of surprise.

And the Ethiopian said to Philip, About whom are these words said by the prophet? about himself, or some other?

But Elymas, the wonder-worker (for that is the sense of his name), put himself against them, with the purpose of turning the ruler from the faith.

Symeon has given an account of how God was first pleased to take from among the Gentiles a people for himself.

And the keeper, coming out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, took his sword and was about to put himself to death, fearing that the prisoners had got away.

And he is not dependent on the work of men's hands, as if he had need of anything, for he himself gives to all life and breath and all things;

And they came down to Ephesus and he left them there: and he himself went into the Synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.

This man had been trained in the way of the Lord; and burning in spirit, he gave himself up to teaching the facts about Jesus, though he had knowledge only of John's baptism:

And having sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, he himself went on living in Asia for a time.

And some of the rulers of Asia, being his friends, sent to him, requesting him seriously not to put himself in danger by going into the theatre.

But we, going before him by ship, went to Assos with the purpose of taking Paul in there: for so he had given orders, because he himself was coming by land.

In all things I was an example to you of how, in your lives, you are to give help to the feeble, and keep in memory the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, There is a greater blessing in giving than in getting.

Then Paul took the men, and on the day after, making himself clean with them, he went into the Temple, giving out the statement that the days necessary for making them clean were complete, till the offering was made for every one of them.

But Festus, in answer, said that Paul was being kept in prison at Caesarea, and that in a short time he himself was going there.

But, in my opinion, there is no cause of death in him, and as he himself has made a request to be judged by Caesar, I have said that I would send him.

And when we came into Rome, they let Paul have a house for himself and the armed man who kept watch over him.

And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.

But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith.

Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it;

Let everyone put himself under the authority of the higher powers, because there is no power which is not of God, and all powers are ordered by God.

For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves.

For every man's life and every man's death has a relation to others as well as to himself.

So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God.

For Christ did not give pleasure to himself, but, as it is said, The bitter words of those who were angry with you came on me.

But he who has the Spirit, though judging all things, is himself judged by no one.

If the fire puts an end to any man's work, it will be his loss: but he will get salvation himself, though as by fire.

Let no man have a false idea. If any man seems to himself to be wise among you, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.

If anyone seems to himself to have knowledge, so far he has not the right sort of knowledge about anything;

So let him who seems to himself to be safe go in fear of a fall.

Let a man give attention not only to what is good for himself, but equally to his neighbour's good.

But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.

For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.

He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet's word does good to the church.

But if there is no one to give the sense, let him keep quiet in the church; and let his words be to himself and to God.

If any man seems to himself to be a prophet or to have the Spirit, let him take note of the things which I am writing to you, as being the word of the Lord.

And when all things have been put under him, then will the Son himself be under him who put all things under him, so that God may be all in all.

But all things are of God, who has made us at peace with himself through Christ, and has given to us the work of making peace;

That is, that God was in Christ making peace between the world and himself, not putting their sins to their account, and having given to us the preaching of this news of peace.

Give attention to the things which are before you. If any man seems to himself to be Christ's, let him keep in mind that we are as much Christ's as he is.

For the Lord's approval of a man is not dependent on his opinion of himself, but on the Lord's opinion of him.

And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able to take the form of an angel of light.

You put up with a man if he makes servants of you, if he makes profit out of you, if he makes you prisoners, if he puts himself in a high place, if he gives you blows on the face.

I say this by way of shaming ourselves, as if we had been feeble. But if anyone puts himself forward (I am talking like a foolish person), I will do the same.

Who gave himself for our sins, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father:

For before certain men came from James, he did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.

For if a man has an idea that he is something when he is nothing, he is tricked by himself.

But let every man make test of his work, and then will his cause for glory be in himself only, and not in his neighbour.

As we were designed before by him for the position of sons to himself, through Jesus Christ, in the good pleasure of his purpose,

Not by works, so that no man may take glory to himself.

Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace;

Resting on the base of the Apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief keystone,

And to have knowledge of the love of Christ which is outside all knowledge, so that you may be made complete as God himself is complete.

And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.

For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.

Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;

And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.

Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:

But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.

Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;

To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;

But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;

And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.

By whom this poor body of ours will be changed into the image of the body of his glory, in the measure of the working by which he is able to put all things under himself.

And who, himself, made clear to us your love in the Spirit.

Through him uniting all things with himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, uniting all things which are on earth or in heaven.

Having made himself free from the rule of authorities and powers, he put them openly to shame, glorying over them in it.

Let no man take your reward from you by consciously making little of himself and giving worship to angels; having his thoughts fixed on the things which he has seen, being foolishly lifted up in his natural mind,

Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus make a way for us to come to you;

Because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a word of authority, with the voice of the chief angel, with the sound of a horn: and the dead in Christ will come to life first;

And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Who puts himself against all authority, lifting himself up over all which is named God or is given worship; so that he takes his seat in the Temple of God, putting himself forward as God.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who had love for us and has given us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

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

Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;

Not one newly taken into the church, for fear that, through his high opinion of himself, he may come into the same sin as the Evil One.

He has an over-high opinion of himself; being without knowledge, having only an unhealthy love of questionings and wars of words, from which come envy, fighting, cruel words, evil thoughts,

A fighting man, when he is with the army, keeps himself free from the business of this life so that he may be pleasing to him who has taken him into his army.

If we are without faith, still he keeps faith, for he will never be untrue to himself.

If a man makes himself clean from these, he will be a vessel for honour, made holy, ready for the master's use, ready for every good work.

For it is necessary for a Bishop to be a man of virtue, as God's servant; not pushing himself forward, not quickly moved to wrath or blows, not desiring profit for himself;

Who gave himself for us, so that he might make us free from all wrongdoing, and make for himself a people clean in heart and on fire with good works.

Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;

But we see him who was made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, crowned with glory and honour, because he let himself be put to death so that by the grace of God he might undergo death for all men.

And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

For having been put to the test himself, he is able to give help to others when they are tested.

He is able to have feeling for those who have no knowledge and for those who are wandering from the true way, because he himself is feeble;

And being feeble, he has to make sin-offerings for himself as well as for the people.

And no man who is not given authority by God, as Aaron was, takes this honour for himself.

In the same way Christ did not take for himself the glory of being made a high priest, but was given it by him who said, You are my Son, this day I have given you being:

For when God made his oath to Abraham, because there was no greater oath, he made it by himself,

Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.

But only the high priest went into the second, once a year, not without making an offering of blood for himself and for the errors of the people:

How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?

And he did not have to make an offering of himself again and again, as the high priest goes into the holy place every year with blood which is not his;

For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.

So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

Give thought to him who has undergone so much of the hate of sinners against himself, so that you may not be tired and feeble of purpose.

Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.
