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 all in all [for in that body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with Himself].

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,

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, 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 all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

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;

May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on 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 whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and united, through the supply of every joint, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body doth make for the building up of itself in love.

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.

Therefore He says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine (make day dawn) upon you and give you light.

make the very most of your time, for these are evil days.

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

to make her holy, cleansing her with the washing of water by the word.

to make it unto himself a glorious congregation without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame.

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

And fathers, do not make your children angry, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

So take God's armour, that you may be able to make a stand upon the evil day and hold your ground by overcoming all the foe.

And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:

In every prayer of mine I always make my entreaty and petition for you all with joy (delight).

For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:

I should have this opinion of you, being sensible you make the dispensation I am under a common concern, with respect to my confinement, and the defence and confirmation of the gospel.

Now it is my purpose to make clear to you, brothers, that the cause of the good news has been helped by my experiences;

What difference does this make? Christ is, nevertheless, preached in every way, whether in pretense or in truth; and in this I rejoice, yes, and I will rejoice:

Yes, and I will rejoice, for I know that, through your prayers and through a rich supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 'all this will make for my Salvation.'

But if I go on living in the flesh--if this is the fruit of my work--then I do not see what decision to make.

and yet your needs make it very necessary for me to stay on here.

If then I can appeal to you as the followers of Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love and any common sharing of the Spirit, or if you have any tender-heartedness and compassion, make my joy complete by being of one mind,

make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus,

Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [ possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained,

Therefore, my dearly-loved friends, as I have always found you obedient, labour earnestly with fear and trembling--not merely as though I were present with you, but much more now since I am absent from you--labour earnestly, I say, to make sure of your own salvation.

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

because on account of the work of Christ he came near to the point of death, risking his life in order that {he might make up for your inability to serve me}.

For we are the true circumcision--we who render to God a spiritual worship and make our boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in outward ceremonies:

Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own.

So let those [of us] who are spiritually mature and full-grown have this mind and hold these convictions; and if in any respect you have a different attitude of mind, God will make that clear to you also.

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.

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

And I make request to you, true helper in my work, to see to the needs of those women who took part with me in the good news, with Clement and the rest of my brother-workers whose names are in the book of life.

Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition ( definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.

it is not my indigence that makes me say this: for I have learn'd, in whatevever state I am, therewith to be content: I know how to be in want,

I know [how] both {to make do with little} and I know [how] {to have an abundance}. In everything and in all [things] I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both {to have an abundance} and to go without.

I can do everything in the strength of him who makes me strong!

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it , do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

Giving thanks to the Father who did make us meet for the participation of the inheritance of the saints in the light,

in the body of his flesh through death, to make you holy, unblameable, and without fault in his own sight,

Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;

In it I became a minister in accordance with the divine stewardship which was entrusted to me for you [as its object and for your benefit], to make the Word of God fully known [among you] -- "

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

whom we preach warning all men, and teaching all men in all wisdom, to make all men perfect in Christ Jesus.

being firmly attach'd to, and founded upon him: establishing yourselves in the faith you have been taught, and being thankful for the improvement you make therein.

See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition (men's ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of] Christ (the Messiah).

And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say , did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;

Let no man make you shoot at a wrong mark, which after his own imagination walketh in the humbleness and holiness of angels, things which he never saw: causeless, puffed up with his fleshly mind,

by which indeed they make a pretence to wisdom, by a worship of their own devising, by an air of humility, and self-denial, and a disregard to the gratifications of sense.

When Christ, who is our true life, shall make his appearance, then you also will appear glorified with him.

Make dead, therefore, your members that are on the earth - as regardeth fornication, impurity, passion, base coveting, and greed, the which, is idolatry, -

Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,

And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;

Over all these virtues put on love; for that is the girdle which makes all complete.

Fathers, do not fret and harass your children, or you may make them sullen and morose.

Praying at the same time for us also, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to declare the mystery of Christ, for which also I am in bonds: that I may make it manifest, as I ought.

That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

Let Christian wisdom rule your behaviour to the outside world; make the very most of your time;

Always let your conversation be seasoned with salt, that is, with winsomeness, so that you may know how to make a fitting answer to everyone.

All my affairs shall Tychicus make known unto you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord:

With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.

My fellow-prisoner, Aristarchus, sends you his greeting, and Barnabas's cousin, Mark, sends his. (You have received directions about him. If he comes to you, make him welcome.)

And when the epistle is read of you, make that it be read in the congregation of the Laodiceans also: and that ye likewise read the epistle of Laodicea.

We continually give thanks to God because of you all, while we make mention of you in our prayers.

and so became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. [Note: These two provinces make up present-day Greece].

For the appeal we make does not come from error or impurity or with deceit,

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

So that you should make your daily lives worthy of God who is calling you into the glory of his Kingdom.

Who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and harassed and drove us out, and continue to make themselves hateful and offensive to God and to show themselves foes of all men,

Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.

And sent Timothy, our brother, and servant of God, and our coworker in the good news of Christ, in order to make you firm, and comfort you for your faith

Therefore, since I could no longer endure the uncertainty, I sent to make inquiries about your faith, fearing that the Tempter had tempted you, and that our toil might prove to have been in vain.

but Timothy, upon his arrival here from you, brings us the agreeable news of the perseverance of your faith and charity, that you always make honourable mention of us, and that you desire to see us as ardently as we do to see you.

How can I render thanks enough to God for you, for all the joy you make me feel in the presence of our God?

[And we] continue to pray especially and with most intense earnestness night and day that we may see you face to face and mend and make good whatever may be imperfect and lacking in your faith.

Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus make a way for us to come to you;

And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
