To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose:

The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher;

A man will be praised in the measure of his wisdom, but a wrong-minded man will be looked down on.

The hater of authority, searching for wisdom, does not get it; but knowledge comes readily to the open-minded man.

But opening his house freely to guests; a lover of what is good, serious-minded, upright, holy, self-controlled;

To the young men give orders to be wise and serious-minded:

Because it is God's pleasure that foolish and narrow-minded men may be put to shame by your good behaviour:

For my people are foolish, they have no knowledge of me; they are evil-minded children, without sense, all of them: they are wise in evil-doing, but have no knowledge of doing good.

And this you are to do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who is in error and for the feeble-minded: you are to make the house free from sin.

A serious-minded man, fearing God with all his family; he gave much money to the poor, and made prayer to God at all times.

And so a hollow-minded man will get wisdom, when a young ass of the field gets teaching.

For who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord, so as to be his teacher? But we have the mind of Christ.

Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;

Then let us all, who have come to full growth, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, even this will God make clear to you:

And self-control to knowledge, and a quiet mind to self-control, and fear of God to a quiet mind,

For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have made your evil-doing come to mind by the uncovering of your wrongdoing, causing your sins to be seen in all your evil-doings; because you have come to mind, you will be taken in them.

And because they had not the mind to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an evil mind, to do those things which are not right;

For the good which I have a mind to do, I do not: but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I do.

For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:

And he who is the searcher of hearts has knowledge of the mind of the Spirit, because he is making prayers for the saints in agreement with the mind of God.

What then? let my prayer be from the spirit, and equally from the mind; let my song be from the spirit, and equally from mind.

My brothers, do not be children in mind: in evil be as little children, but in mind be of full growth.

Then I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with Jacob and with Isaac and with Abraham, and I will keep in mind the land.

This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.

Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting.

Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

But I had not in mind the sinners who are outside the church, or those who have a desire for and take the property of others, or those who give worship to images; for it is not possible to keep away from such people without going out of the world completely:

But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord:

And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin.

Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.

Or has he us in mind? Yes, it was said for us; because it is right for the ploughman to do his ploughing in hope, and for him who is crushing the grain to do his work hoping for a part in the fruits of it.

Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.

For it is my desire, my brothers, that you may keep in mind how all our fathers were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea;

But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

Come back, O God of armies: from heaven let your eyes be turned to this vine, and give your mind to it,

The Lord will keep in mind, when he is writing the records of the people, that this man had his birth there. (Selah.)

Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart;

Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?

As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over.

Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.

Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour.

Keep in mind your undertaking; for the dark places of the earth are full of pride and cruel acts.

Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.

Keep in mind the voice of your haters; the outcry of those who come against you goes up every day.

And I said, It is a weight on my spirit; but I will keep in mind the years of the right hand of the Most High.

I will keep in mind the works of Jah: I will keep the memory of your wonders in the past.

I will give thought to all your work, while my mind goes over your acts of power.

So that they might put their hope in God, and not let God's works go out of their minds, but keep his laws;

So he kept in mind that they were only flesh; a breath which is quickly gone, and will not come again.

They did not keep in mind the work of his hand, or the day when he took them from the power of their haters;

Only it was their desire that we would give thought to the poor; which very thing I had much in mind to do.

I am certain about you in the Lord, that you will be of no other mind; but he who is troubling you will have his punishment, whoever he is.

For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

Having made clear to us the secret of his purpose, in agreement with the design which he had in mind, to put into his hands

Give praise without end for you, keeping you in mind in my prayers;

Among whom we all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest.

For this reason keep it in mind that in the past you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are looked on as being outside the circumcision by those who have circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;

This I say, then, and give witness in the Lord, that you are to go no longer in the way of the Gentiles whose minds are turned to that which has no profit,

And be made new in the spirit of your mind,

Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.

Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,

For I have no man of like mind who will truly have care for you.

Whose end is destruction, whose god is the stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, whose minds are fixed on the things of the earth.

I make request to Euodias and Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

And the peace of God, which is deeper than all knowledge, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Who kept us in mind when we were in trouble: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

O Lord, keep in mind against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; how they said, Let it be uncovered, uncovered even to its base.

My son, if you will take my words to your heart, storing up my laws in your mind;

Who is false to the husband of her early years, and does not keep the agreement of her God in mind:

Keep in mind your word to your servant, for on it has my hope been fixed.

I have given my mind to do your pleasure with all my heart; have mercy on me, as you have said.

The cords of evil-doers are round me; but I have kept in mind your law.

I will ever keep your orders in mind; for in them I have life.

The sinners have been waiting for me to give me up to destruction; but I will give all my mind to your unchanging ward.

I am a hater of men of doubting mind; but I am a lover of your law.

I am small and of no account; but I keep your orders in mind.

O see my trouble, and be my saviour; for I keep your law in my mind,

I have gone out of the way like a wandering sheep; make search for your servant; for I keep your teachings ever in mind.

And you, who in the past were cut off and at war with God in your minds through evil works, he has now made one

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,

Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.

Having ever in mind your work of faith and acts of love and the strength of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

Because you have in mind the orders we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

Brothers, keep us in mind in your prayers.

So that we ourselves take pride in you in the churches of God for your untroubled mind and your faith in all the troubles and sorrows which you are going through;

That you may not be moved in mind or troubled by a spirit, or by a word, or by a letter as from us, with the suggestion that the day of the Lord is even now come;

But the Spirit says clearly that in later times some will be turned away from the faith, giving their minds to spirits of deceit, and the teachings of evil spirits,

If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide:

Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit.

But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit:

But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.

Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use;

Through which some, who gave their minds to it, have been turned away from the faith. Grace be with you.

Having in mind your true faith, which first was in your mother's mother Lois, and in your mother Eunice, and, I am certain, is now in you.

Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness:

False to their friends, acting without thought, lifted up in mind, loving pleasure more than God;
