Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He doesn’t keep the Sabbath!” But others were saying, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.

“I assure you: Anyone who doesn’t enter the sheep pen by the door but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

But I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd.

Others were saying, “These aren’t the words of someone demon-possessed. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

The crowd standing there heard it and said it was thunder. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.

But Peter remained standing outside by the door. So the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the girl who was the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.

Jesus answered, “Are you asking this on your own, or have others told you about Me?”

There they crucified Him and two others with Him, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle.

So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with Him.

So she ran to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put Him!”

At that, Peter and the other disciple went out, heading for the tomb.

The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first.

The other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, then entered the tomb, saw, and believed.

So the other disciples kept telling him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “If I don’t see the mark of the nails in His hands, put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe!”

Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples that are not written in this book.

Simon Peter, Thomas (called “Twin”), Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, Zebedee’s sons, and two others of His disciples were together.

But since they were not far from land (about 100 yards away), the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish.

And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they were written one by one, I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.

And with many other words he testified and strongly urged them, saying, “Be saved from this corrupt generation!”

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people, and we must be saved by it.”

The next day he showed up while they were fighting and tried to reconcile them peacefully, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why are you mistreating each other?’

For they heard them speaking in other languages and declaring the greatness of God.

Then Peter responded,

But after Paul and Barnabas had engaged them in serious argument and debate, the church arranged for Paul and Barnabas and some others of them to go up to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem concerning this controversy.

But Paul and Barnabas, along with many others, remained in Antioch teaching and proclaiming the message of the Lord.

So taking a security bond from Jason and the others, they released them.

Then also, some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers argued with him. Some said, “What is this pseudo-intellectual trying to say?”

Others replied, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign deities”—because he was telling the good news about Jesus and the Resurrection.

When they heard about resurrection of the dead, some began to ridicule him. But others said, “We’d like to hear from you again about this.”

However, some men joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in other languages and to prophesy.

When Paul realized that one part of them were Sadducees and the other part were Pharisees, he cried out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees! I am being judged because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead!”

and when they had left they talked with each other and said, “This man is doing nothing that deserves death or chains.”

When it was decided that we were to sail to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Imperial Regiment.

Some were persuaded by what he said, but others did not believe.

that is, to be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.

Although they know full well God’s just sentence—that those who practice such things deserve to die—they not only do them, but even applaud others who practice them.

height or depth, or any other created thing
will have the power to separate us
from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!

The commandments:

Do not commit adultery;
do not murder;
do not steal;
do not covet;

and whatever other commandment—all are summed up by this: Love your neighbor as yourself.

For no one can lay any other foundation than what has been laid down. That foundation is Jesus Christ.

If I am not an apostle to others, at least I am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

Don’t we have the right to be accompanied by a Christian wife like the other apostles, the Lord’s brothers, and Cephas?

If others have this right to receive benefits from you, don’t we even more?

However, we have not made use of this right; instead we endure everything so that we will not hinder the gospel of Christ.

Instead, I discipline my body and bring it under strict control, so that after preaching to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

No one should seek his own good, but the good of the other person.

I do not mean your own conscience, but the other person’s. For why is my freedom judged by another person’s conscience?

But if anyone wants to argue about this, we have no other custom, nor do the churches of God.

For at the meal, each one eats his own supper ahead of others. So one person is hungry while another gets drunk!

If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you gather together you will not come under judgment. And I will give instructions about the other matters whenever I come.

so that there would be no division in the body, but that the members would have the same concern for each other.

I wish all of you spoke in other languages, but even more that you prophesied. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in languages, unless he interprets so that the church may be built up.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in other languages, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you with a revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

For you may very well be giving thanks, but the other person is not being built up.

I thank God that I speak in other languages more than all of you;

yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, in order to teach others also, than 10,000 words in another language.

It is written in the law:

I will speak to these people
by people of other languages
and by the lips of foreigners,
and even then, they will not listen to Me,

says the Lord.

It follows that speaking in other languages is intended as a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers. But prophecy is not for unbelievers but for believers.

Therefore, if the whole church assembles together and all are speaking in other languages and people who are uninformed or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your minds?

Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should evaluate.

Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in other languages.

Now we are writing nothing to you other than what you can read and also understand. I hope you will understand completely—

For if I cause you pain, then who will cheer me other than the one being hurt by me?

To some we are an aroma of death leading to death, but to others, an aroma of life leading to life. And who is competent for this?

I am not saying this as a command. Rather, by means of the diligence of others, I am testing the genuineness of your love.

It is not that there may be relief for others and hardship for you, but it is a question of equality—

They will glorify God for your obedience to the confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with others through the proof provided by this service.

We are not bragging beyond measure about other people’s labors. But we have the hope that as your faith increases, our area of ministry will be greatly enlarged,

I robbed other churches by taking pay from them to minister to you.

Not to mention other things, there is the daily pressure on me: my care for all the churches.

So in what way were you treated worse than the other churches, except that I personally did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong!

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel other than what we have preached to you, a curse be on him!

But I didn’t see any of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave and the other by a free woman.

I have confidence in the Lord you will not accept any other view. But whoever it is that is confusing you will pay the penalty.

For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want.

We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also.

This was not made known to people in other generations as it is now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:

To be sure, some preach Christ out of envy and strife, but others out of good will.

the others proclaim Christ out of rivalry, not sincerely, seeking to cause me anxiety in my imprisonment.

Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.

Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

and we didn’t seek glory from people, either from you or from others.

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing.

For we hear that there are some among you who walk irresponsibly, not working at all, but interfering with the work of others.

As I urged you when I went to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus so that you may instruct certain people not to teach different doctrine

Don’t be too quick to appoint anyone as an elder, and don’t share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

Some people’s sins are obvious, going before them to judgment, but the sins of others surface later.

If anyone teaches other doctrine and does not agree with the sound teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching that promotes godliness,

And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

But encourage each other daily, while it is still called today, so that none of you is hardened by sin’s deception.

In the one case, men who will die receive tenths, but in the other case, Scripture testifies that he lives.

None of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,

not staying away from our worship meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

Sometimes you were publicly exposed to taunts and afflictions, and at other times you were companions of those who were treated that way.

and others experienced mockings and scourgings, as well as bonds and imprisonment.

Now above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. Your “yes” must be “yes,” and your “no” must be “no,” so that you won’t fall under judgment.

Based on the gift each one has received, use it to serve others, as good managers of the varied grace of God.

and if He didn’t spare the ancient world, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others, when He brought a flood on the world of the ungodly;

save others by snatching them from the fire; have mercy on others but with fear, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who haven’t known the deep things of Satan—as they say—I do not put any other burden on you.

There were flashes of lightning and rumblings of thunder. And a severe earthquake occurred like no other since man has been on the earth—so great was the quake.

They are also seven kings: Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes, he must remain for a little while.
