"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, because a tree is known by its fruit.

It is not what goes into the mouth that makes a person unclean. It is what comes out of the mouth that makes a person unclean."

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and it is those things that make a person unclean.

These are the things that make a person unclean. But eating with unwashed hands doesn't make a person unclean."

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to make a single convert, and when this happens you make him twice as fit for hell as you are.

You blind men! Which is more important, the gift or the altar that makes the gift holy?

On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover meal?"

Pilate told them, "You have a military guard. Go and make the tomb as secure as you know how."

He is a voice calling out in the wilderness: "Prepare the way for the Lord! Make his paths straight!'"

Jesus told them, "Follow me, and I'll make you fishers of people!"

Then a leper came to Jesus and began pleading with him. He fell on his knees and told him, "If you want to, you can make me clean."

And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will make the skins burst, and both the wine and the skins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins."

Then the master told the servant, "Go out into the streets and the lanes and make the people come in, so that my house may be full.

I made your name known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me may be in them and I myself may be in them."

until I make your enemies your footstool."'

They told Aaron, "Make gods for us who will lead us. This Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt we don't know what happened to him!'

For I am longing to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong,

And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, then the one who raised the Messiah from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.

As it is written, "Look! I am placing a stone in Zion over which people will stumble a large rock that will make them fall and the one who believes in him will never be ashamed."

Again I ask, "Did Israel not understand?" Moses was the first to say, "I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that doesn't understand."

And so I ask, "They have not stumbled so as to fall, have they?" Of course not! On the contrary, because of their stumbling, salvation has come to the gentiles to make the Jews jealous.

in the hope that I can make my people jealous and save some of them.

Who are you to criticize someone else's servant? He stands or falls before his own Lord and stand he will, because the Lord makes him stand.

Therefore, let's no longer criticize each other. Instead, make up your mind not to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

Do not destroy God's action for the sake of food. Everything is clean, but it is wrong to make another person stumble because of what you eat.

The right thing to do is to avoid eating meat, drinking wine, or doing anything else that makes your brother stumble, upset, or weak.

But God chose what is nonsense in the world to make the wise feel ashamed. God chose what is weak in the world to make the strong feel ashamed.

For who makes you superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not receive it?

I'm not writing this to make you feel ashamed, but to warn you as my dear children.

I say this to make you feel ashamed. Has it come to this, that there is not one person among you who is wise enough to settle disagreements between brothers?

Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food, but God will make them both unnecessary. The body is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

In the same way, the Lord has ordered that those who proclaim the gospel should make their living from the gospel.

If the foot says, "Since I'm not a hand, I'm not part of the body," that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it?

And if the ear says, "Since I'm not an eye, I'm not part of the body," that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it?

and the parts of the body that we think are less honorable are treated with special honor, and we make our less attractive parts more attractive.

Now the one who makes us and you as well secure in union with the Messiah and has anointed us is God,

After all, if I were to grieve you, who should make me happy but the person I am making sad?

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.

What agreement can a temple of God make with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said: "I will live and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people."

Make room for us in your hearts! We have not treated anyone unjustly, harmed anyone, or cheated anyone.

Therefore, I thought it necessary to urge these brothers to visit you ahead of me, to make arrangements in advance for this gift you promised, and to have it ready as something given generously and not forced.

Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.

You tolerate anyone who makes you his slaves, devours what you have, takes what is yours, orders you around, or slaps your face!

Now those who were reputed to be important added nothing to my message. (What sort of people they were makes no difference to me, since God pays no attention to outward appearances.)

For you, brothers, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity to gratify your flesh, but through love make it your habit to serve one another.

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

and that the Messiah would make his home in your hearts through faith. Then, having been rooted and grounded in love,

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 by cleansing it, washing it with water and the word,

Pray also for me, so that, when I begin to speak, the right words will come to me. Then I will boldly make known the secret of the gospel,

So joyfully welcome him in the Lord and make sure you honor such people highly,

He will change our unassuming bodies and make them like his glorious body through the power that enables him to bring everything under his authority.

to whom God wanted to make known the glorious riches of this secret among the gentiles which is the Messiah in you, our glorious hope.

Fathers, do not make your children resentful. Otherwise, they'll become discouraged.

As you know, we did not come with flattering words or with a scheme to make money. God is our witness!

Also, make it your goal to live quietly, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you,

Make sure that no one pays back evil for evil. Instead, always pursue what is good for each other and for everyone else.

May the God of peace himself make you holy in every way. And may your whole being spirit, soul, and body remain blameless when our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, appears.

This is evidence of God's righteous judgment and is intended to make you worthy of God's kingdom, for which you are suffering.

With this in mind, we always pray for you, asking that our God might make you worthy of his calling and that through his power he might help you accomplish every good desire and faithful action.

and incessant conflict between people who are depraved in mind and deprived of truth. They think that godliness is a way to make a profit.

At the right time, he will make him known. God is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Because an overseer is God's servant manager, he must be blameless. He must not be arrogant or irritable. He must not drink too much, be a violent person, or make money in shameful ways.

They must be silenced, because they are the kind of people who ruin whole families by teaching what they should not teach in order to make money in a shameful way.

or steal from them. Instead, they are to show complete and perfect loyalty, so that in every way they may make the teaching about God our Savior more attractive.

In grace our Savior God appeared, to make his love for mankind clear.

Our own people should also learn to make good deeds a priority when urgent needs arise, so they won't be unproductive.

I prefer to make my appeal on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an old man and now a prisoner of the Messiah Jesus,

Now about the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire."
