That is what I did in Jerusalem. I received authority from the high priests and locked many of the saints in prison. And when I cast my vote against them, they were put to death.

The islanders honored us in many ways, and when we were about to sail again, they supplied us with everything we needed.

As it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations." Abraham acted in faith when he stood in the presence of God, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence things that don't yet exist.

Hoping in spite of hopeless circumstances, he believed that he would become "the father of many nations," just as he had been told: "This is how many descendants you will have."

But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah, been showered on many people!

Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned. For the sentence that followed one man's offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses.

Welcome her in the Lord as is appropriate for saints, and provide her with anything she may need from you, for she has assisted many people, including me.

Brothers, think about your own calling. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

You may have 10,000 mentors who work for the Messiah, but not many fathers. For in the Messiah Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

For even if there are "gods" in heaven and on earth (as indeed there are many so-called "gods" and "lords"),

Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body, because all of us eat from the same loaf.

just as I myself try to please everybody in every way. I don't look out for my own benefit, but rather for the benefit of many people, so that they might be saved.

That's why so many of you are weak and sick and a considerable number are dying.

For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, form a single body, so it is with the Messiah.

For the body does not consist of only one part, but of many.

So there are many parts, but one body.

There are, I suppose, many different languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.

because a door has opened wide for me to do effective work, although many people are opposing me.

as you also help us by your prayers for us. Then many people will thank God on our behalf because of the favor shown us through the prayers of many.

I wrote to you out of great sorrow and anguish of heart along with many tears not to make you sad but to let you know how much love I have for you.

At least we are not commercializing God's word like so many others. Instead, we speak with sincerity in the Messiah's name, like people who are sent from God and are accountable to God.

as sorrowful and yet always rejoicing, as poor and yet enriching many, as having nothing and yet possessing everything.

We have also sent with them our brother whom we have often tested in many ways and found to be dedicated. At present he is more dedicated than ever because he has so much confidence in you.

Since many people boast in a fleshly way, I will do it, too.

in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, through hunger, thirst, many periods of fasting, coldness, and nakedness.

I am afraid that when I come my God may again humble me before you and that I may have to grieve over many who formerly lived in sin and have not repented of their impurity, sexual immorality, and promiscuity that they once practiced.

I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries, because I was far more zealous for the traditions of my ancestors.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. It doesn't say "descendants," referring to many, but "your descendant," referring to one person, who is the Messiah.

For I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears, that many live as enemies of the cross of the Messiah.

But people who want to get rich keep toppling into temptation and are trapped by many stupid and harmful desires that plunge them into destruction and ruin.

Fight the good fight for the faith. Keep holding on to eternal life, to which you were called and about which you gave a good testimony in front of many witnesses.

What you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well.

For there are many people who are rebellious, especially those who are converts from Judaism. They speak utter nonsense and deceive people.

After all, we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, and misled. We were slaves to many kinds of lusts and pleasures, spending our days in malice and jealousy. We were despised, and we hated one another.

There have been many priests, since each one of them had to stop serving in office when he died.

See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up and causes you trouble, or many of you will become defiled.

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more severely than others.

For all of us make many mistakes. If someone does not make any mistakes when he speaks, he is perfect and able to control his whole body.

Many people will follow their immoral ways, and because of them the way of truth will be maligned.

Little children, it is the last hour. Just as you heard that an antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.

Dear friends, stop believing every spirit. Instead, test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

For many deceivers have gone out into the world. They refuse to acknowledge Jesus the Messiah as having become human. Any such person is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels, the living creatures, and the elders surrounding the throne. They numbered 10,000's times 10,000 and thousands times thousands.

The name of the star is Wormwood. One-third of the water turned into wormwood, and many people died from the water because it had turned bitter.

They had breastplates like iron, and the noise of their wings was like the roar of chariots with many horses rushing into battle.

The number of cavalry troops was 200,000,000. I heard how many there were.

Then the seven thunders told me, "You must prophesy again about many nations, nations, languages, and kings."
