And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

He who ever supplies seed to the sower, and bread for the food of man, will supply and make plentous your seed, and increase the harvest springing up from your almsgiving.

You yourselves will be enriched with all good things, that you may give ungrudgingly; and your gifts, of which I am the agent, will make men give thanks to God.

For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many thanksgivings to God;

This service shows what you are, it makes men praise God for the way you have come under the gospel of Christ which you confess, and for the generosity of your contributions to themselves and to all;

Now I Paul, myself, appeal to you by the humble-heartedness and selflessness of Christ??aul who "in your presence is humble, but bold enough when he is absent"??2 I beseech you, and I say, do not make me show my boldness, when I come in the boldness with which I think I shall show my courage against some who think that I am walking on the low level of the flesh.

I beg you not to make me too courageous in that confidence in which I think to take a daring stand against some people who try to think that I am acting from the lowest human motives.

Though I do walk on the low level of the flesh, I do not make war as the flesh does;

the weapons of my warfare are not weapons of the flesh, but divinely strong to demolish fortresses ??5 I demolish theories and any rampart thrown up to resist the knowledge of God, I take every project prisoner to make it obey Christ,

to level all the barriers they contrive for obstructing the divine doctrine, and to make their pride captive to the authority of Christ.

and I am prepar'd, when you have discharg'd your duty, to make examples of the rest for their disobedience.

This say I, lest I should seem as though I went about to make you afraid with letters.

For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

For we have no need to make ourselves seem more than we are, as if our authority did not come as far as to you: for we came even as far as you with the good news of Christ:

'Let him who boasts make his boast of the Lord.'

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy. For I coupled you to one man, to make you a chaste virgin to Christ:

I am no speaker, perhaps, but knowledge I do possess; I never failed to make myself intelligible to you.

Or did I [perhaps] sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted and honored, because I preached God’s gospel to you free of charge?

And, being present with you, and having come short, I was not burdensome to anyone, - for, my deficiency, the brethren, coming from Macedonia, helped to make up; - and, in everything, without burden unto you, I kept, myself - and will keep!

By the truth of Christ within me, I am going to make this my pride and boast unchecked throughout the regions of Achaia!

but this I do, and shall do, to make them drop their hire, who are so bent upon hire: and then indeed they will be as they pretend to be, like me.

So it is no great thing if his servants make themselves seem to be servants of righteousness; whose end will be the reward of their works.

To return to what I was saying. Let no one suppose that I am foolish. Or if you must, at any rate make allowance for me as being foolish, in order that I, as well as they, may boast a little.

You put up with it, though they make slaves of you, live on you, seize your property, lord it over you, even strike you in the face, in the way of degradation!

(If I did care to boast of other things, I would be no 'fool,' for I would have a true tale to tell; however, I abstain from that ??I want no one to take me for more than he can see in me or make out from me.)

I besought the Lord thrice, to make him leave me.

It makes me satisfied, for Christ's sake, with weakness, insults, trouble, persecution, and calamity; for I am strong just when I am weak.

Where were you inferior to the rest of the churches? ??unless in this, that your apostle did not choose to make himself a burden to you. Pray pardon me this terrible wrong!

This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children.

Did I make gain of you through any of those whom I sent to you?

I urged Titus to go, and with him I sent our brother. Did Titus make gain of you? And did I not walk in the same spirit as he did? Did I not take the very same steps?

lest having come again my God will make me low toward you, and I will bewail many of those who have sinned previously, and who did not repent from the trash and fornication and licentiousness that they committed.

Make a test of yourselves, if you are in the faith; make certain of yourselves. Or are you not conscious in yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are truly Christ's?

For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.

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:

Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.

For I make known unto you, brethren, as to the glad-message which was announced by me, that it is not after man;

You have heard of my career and former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to hunt down and persecute the church of God extensively and [with fanatical zeal] tried [my best] to destroy it.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;

I went there because of a revelation and presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did so only in a private meeting with the influential people, to make sure that I was not running -- or had not run -- in vain.

And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;

But those in authority??hat they once were makes no difference to me; God is no respecter of persons??hose I say who were in authority had no additions to make my message.

But when I saw that they were not living uprightly in agreement with the true words of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, If you, being a Jew, are living like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, how will you make the Gentiles do the same as the Jews?

Now if, in our efforts to come into right standing with God through union with Christ, we have proved ourselves to be sinners like the heathen themselves, does that make Christ a party to our sin? Of course not.

For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.

Are you so thoughtless? After having begun in Spirit, do you make an end in flesh?

And the scripture having foreseen that God makes the Gentiles righteous from faith, proclaimed the good-news in advance to Abraham: In thee all the nations will be blessed.

Brothers, I’m using a human illustration. No one sets aside or makes additions to even a human covenant that has been ratified.

I mean to say that the testament which God has already ratified could not be annulled by the Law which came four hundred and thirty years later, so as to make the Promise void.

Why, then, the Law [what was its purpose]? It was added [after the promise to Abraham, to reveal to people their guilt] because of transgressions [that is, to make people conscious of the sinfulness of sin], and [the Law] was ordained through angels and delivered to Israel by the hand of a mediator [Moses, the mediator between God and Israel, to be in effect] until the Seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

Is the Law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not; for if a law had been given which could make alive, then righteousness would actually have come from law;

That he might make them free who were under the law, and that we might be given the place of sons.

you make me apprehensive, that the labour I have bestowed upon you will be all in vain.

These men are making much of you, but not with honorable intentions. They want to shut you out, so that you will have to make much of them.

In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free -- stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;

A little leaven makes a change in all the mass.

I wish they were even cut off from your communion, that make such disturbance amongst you.

For you, brothers, were called for freedom; only do not make your freedom an excuse for self-indulgence, but in love enslave yourselves to one another.

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.

Make no mistake ??God is not to be mocked ??a man will reap just what he sows;

See what large letters I make, when I write to you with my own hand!

Those who want to make a good impression in public [before the Jews] try to compel you to be circumcised, just so they will escape being persecuted for [faithfulness to] the cross of Christ.

Let no one make any more trouble for me, because I carry the scars of Jesus on my own body.

to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,

in doing what He intended through Christ, to make known to us His secret plan, according to what pleased Him.

In view of that Divine Order which was to mark the completion of the ages, when he should make everything, both in Heaven and on earth, center in him.

to make us redound to the praise of his glory by being the first to put our hope in Christ.

For this cause I, having had news of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and which you make clear to all the saints,

offer never ceasing thanks on your behalf while I make mention of you in my prayers.

which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers].

And you did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,

even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,)

That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:

for we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good deeds, which God predestined us to make our daily way of life.

for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle wall of the enclosure did break down,

In his own body he abolished the cause of our enmity, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, in order to make the two into one new man in himself, so making peace.

This it is that makes me Paul a prisoner for Jesus Christ upon your account, O Gentiles;

"that the Gentiles should be heirs as well as the Jews, make one body together, and partake of the divine promise in Christ by the gospel."

To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, so that I might make clear to the Gentiles the good news of the unending wealth of Christ:

and to make plain [to everyone] the plan of the mystery [regarding the uniting of believing Jews and Gentiles into one body] which [until now] was kept hidden through the ages in [the mind of] God who created all things.

So I ask that what I am having to suffer for your sake may not make me lose heart, for it does you honor.

That in the wealth of his glory he would make you strong with power through his Spirit in your hearts;

so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love,

I then, the prisoner in the Lord, make this request from my heart, that you will see that your behaviour is a credit to the position which God's purpose has given you,

Make every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit through the tie of peace.

He who went down is the same who went up far over all the heavens so that he might make all things complete.)

From him the whole body (knit together and compacted by all its joints) makes continual growth of the body so as to build itself up in love, through the energy of his bounteous provision, according to the need of each several part.

and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption.

you must make sure what pleases the Lord.

And have no company with the works of the dark, which give no fruit, but make their true quality clear;

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

For this reason He says,

“Awake, sleeper,
And arise from the dead,
And Christ will shine [as dawn] upon you and give you light.”

and continue to make the most of your opportunities, for the times are evil.

Then you will recite to one another psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; you will sing and make music to the Lord with your hearts;

So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word,

that he himself might make her appear illustrious to his own eye, a church without spot, or any thing like a defect; so as to be holy and irreprehensible.

"You must honor your father and mother" -- this is the first commandment, with a promise to make it good

And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.

So you must take God's armor, so that when the evil day comes you will be able to make a stand, and when it is all over to hold your ground.
