You are the light of the world. A town on the top of a hill cannot be hidden.

nor shall you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

No one can serve two masters: either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will stand by the one and despise the other ??you cannot serve both God and Mammon.

a good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a rotten tree cannot bear sound fruit.

Again he went away for the second time and prayed, "My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, thy will be done."

What! do you think I cannot appeal to my Father to furnish me at this moment with over twelve legions of angels?

"He saved others," they said, "but he cannot save himself! He the 'king of Israel'! Let him come down now from the cross; then we will believe in him!

Jesus said to them, "Can friends at a wedding fast while the bridegroom is beside them? As long as they have the bridegroom beside them they cannot fast.

If a realm is divided against itself, that realm cannot stand:

if a household is divided against itself, that household cannot stand:

and if Satan has risen against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, he comes to an end.

He said to them, "Nothing can make this kind come out but prayer and fasting."

The poor you always have beside you, and you can be kind to them whenever you want; but you will not always have me.

So, too, the high priests made fun of him to themselves with the scribes; "he saved others," they said, "but he cannot save himself!

And after exhausting every kind of temptation the devil left him till a fit opportunity arrived.

No, you must love your enemies and help them, you must lend to them without expecting any return; then you will have a rich reward, you will be sons of the Most High for he is kind even to the ungrateful and the evil.

and if you cannot manage even this, why trouble over other things?

You hypocrites, you know how to decipher the look of earth and sky; how is it you cannot decipher the meaning of this era?

Another said, 'I have married a wife; that is why I cannot come.'

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, aye and his own life, he cannot be a disciple of mine;

whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me, he cannot be a disciple of mine.

If he cannot, when the other is still at a distance he will send an embassy to do homage to him.

So with everyone of you who will not part with all his goods he cannot be a disciple of mine.

So he summoned him and said, 'What is this I hear about you? Hand in your accounts; you cannot be factor any longer.'

No servant can serve two masters: either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will stand by the one and despise the other, you cannot serve both God and Mammon."

And Pilate said to the high priests and the crowds, "I cannot find anything criminal about him."

Jesus replied, "Truly, truly I tell you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter God's Realm.

the world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its deeds are evil.

you will search for me but you will not find me, and where I go, you cannot come."

What does he mean by saying, 'You will search for me but you will not find me, and where I go, you cannot come'?"

Then he said to them again, "I go away, and you will search for me, but you will die in your sin; where I go, you cannot come."

So the Jews said, "Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I go, you cannot come'?"

If the Law said they were gods, to whom the word of God came ??and scripture cannot be broken ??36 do you mean to tell me, whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?

(By this he indicated the kind of death he was to die.)

My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer; then you will look for me, and, as I told the Jews I tell you now, where I go you cannot come.

"Lord," said Peter, "why cannot I follow you just now? I will lay down my life for you."

even the Spirit of truth: the world cannot receive him, because it neither sees nor knows him, but you know him, because he remains with you and will be within you.

Remain in me, as I remain in you: just as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself, without remaining on the vine, neither can you, unless you remain in me.

I have still much to say to you, but you cannot bear it just now.

(that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, by which he had indicated the kind of death he was to die).

"Truth!" said Pilate, "what is truth!" With these words he went outside to the Jews again and told them, "I cannot find anything wrong about him.

Again Pilate went out and said to them, "Look, I am bringing him out to you. Understand, I cannot find anything wrong about him."

(he said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God); then he added, "Follow me."

"What are we to do with these men?" they said. "It is plain to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem that a miracle has admittedly been worked by them. That we cannot deny.

Certainly we cannot give up speaking of what we have seen and heard."

So repent of this wickedness of yours, and ask God whether you cannot be forgiven for your heart's purpose.

But certain individuals came down from Jerusalem and taught the brothers that "unless you get circumcised after the custom of Moses you cannot be saved."

they cannot furnish you with any proof of their present charges against me.

Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not count to him.

I cannot understand my own actions; I do not act as I want to act; on the contrary, I do what I detest.

I cannot be good as I want to be, and I do wrong against my wishes.

For the interests of the flesh are hostile to God; they do not yield to the law of God (indeed they cannot).

Those who are in the flesh cannot satisfy God.

let their eyes be darkened, that they cannot see, bow down their backs for ever.

Personally I am quite certain, my brothers, that even as it is you have ample goodness of heart, you are filled with knowledge of every kind, and you are well able to give advice to one another.

The unspiritual man rejects these truths of the Spirit of God; to him they are 'sheer folly,' he cannot understand them. And the reason is, that they must be read with the spiritual eye.

the wife cannot do as she pleases with her body ??her husband has power, and in the same way the husband cannot do as he pleases with his body ??his wife has power.

Still, if they cannot restrain themselves, let them marry. Better marry than be aflame with passion!

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and also the cup of daemons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and also of the table of daemons.

But in giving you the following injunction I cannot commend you; for you are the worse, not the better, for assembling together.

The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I have no need of you,' nor again the head to the feet, 'I have no need of you.'

Quite the contrary. We cannot do without those very members of the body which are considered rather delicate,

I may prophesy, fathom all mysteries and secret lore, I may have such absolute faith that I can move hills from their place, but if I have no love, I count for nothing;

Love is very patient, very kind. Love knows no jealousy; love makes no parade, gives itself no airs,

But, someone will ask, 'how do the dead rise? What kind of body have they when they come?'

God gives it a body as he pleases, gives each kind of seed a body of its own.

I tell you this, my brothers, flesh and blood cannot inherit the Realm of God, nor can the perishing inherit the imperishable.

God is able to bless you with ample means, so that you may always have quite enough for any emergency of your own and ample besides for any kind act to others;

(Fail or succeed, I cannot work against the truth but for it!)

be kind to each other, be tender-hearted, be generous to each other as God has been generous to you in Christ.

But then, if it is to be life here below, that means fruitful work for me. So ??well, I cannot tell which to choose;

But for Christ's sake I have learned to count my former gains a loss;

indeed I count anything a loss, compared to the supreme value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have lost everything (I count it all the veriest refuse) in order to gain Christ

But you were kind enough to take your share in my trouble.

see that none of you pays back evil for evil, but always aim at what is kind to one another and to all the world;

and abstaining from whatever kind is evil.

For the secret force of lawlessness is at work already; only, it cannot be revealed till he who at present restrains it is removed.

Good works are equally conspicuous; and even when they are not, they cannot escape notice for ever.

if we are faithless, he remains faithful" ??for he cannot be untrue to himself.

And the Lord's servant must not be a man of strife; he must be kind to everybody, a skilled teacher, a man who will not resent injuries;

to make the man of God proficient and equip him for good work of every kind.

They profess to know God, but they deny him by their deeds; they are detestable, disobedient, and useless for good work of any kind.

to be mistress of themselves, chaste, domestic, kind, and submissive to their husbands ??otherwise it will be a scandal to the gospel.

You count me a partner? Then receive him as you would receive me,

(which foreshadowed the present age) was still standing, with its offerings of gifts and sacrifices which cannot possibly make the conscience of the worshipper perfect,

(for the blood of bulls and goats cannot possibly remove sins!).

Do not forget beneficence and charity, either; these are the kind of sacrifices that are acceptable to God.

It was his own will that we should be born by the Word of the truth, to be a kind of firstfruits among his creatures.

For while every kind of beast and bird, of creeping animals and creatures marine, is tameable and has been tamed by mankind,

You crave, and miss what you want: you envy and covet, but you cannot acquire: you wrangle and fight ??you miss what you want because you do not ask God for it;

So off with all malice, all guile and insincerity and envy and slander of every kind!

Servants, be submissive to your masters with perfect respect, not simply to those who are kind and reasonable but to the surly as well ??19 for it is a merit when from a sense of God one bears the pain of unjust suffering.

Anyone who is born of God does not commit sin, for the offspring of God remain in Him, and they cannot sin, because they are born of God.

If anyone declares, 'I love God,' and yet hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who will not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot possibly love the God whom he has never seen.

I know your doings, your hard work and your patient endurance; I know that you cannot bear wicked men, and that you have tested those who style themselves apostles (no apostles they!) and detected them to be liars;
