He went and settled in a town called Nazaret, so that what had been said by the prophets might be fulfilled: 'He shall be called a Nazarene.'

The rain came down, the floods rose, the winds blew and beat upon that house, and down it fell ??with a mighty crash."

Now when evening came they brought him many demoniacs, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all the invalids ??17 that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, He took away our sicknesses and he removed our diseases.

'No,' he said, 'for you might root up the wheat when you were gathering the weeds.

But you say, whoever tells his father or mother, 'This money might have been at your service but it is dedicated to God,'

Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray over them. The disciples checked the people,

"the perfume might have been sold for a good sum, and the poor might have got that."

He appointed twelve to be with him, also that he might despatch them to preach

As he was stepping into the boat the lunatic begged that he might accompany him;

But you say that if a man tells his father or mother, 'This money might have been at your service, but it is Korban' (that is, dedicated to God),

This perfume might have been sold for over three hundred shillings, and the poor might have got that." So they upbraided her.

Then he went forward a little and fell to the earth, praying that the hour might pass away from him, if possible.

Afterwards he appeared at table to the eleven themselves and reproached them for their unbelief and dulness of mind, because they had not believed those who saw him risen from the dead. [But they excused themselves, saying, "This age of lawlessness and unbelief lies under the sway of Satan, who will not allow what lies under the unclean spirits to understand the truth and power of God; therefore," they said to Christ, "reveal your righteousness now." Christ answered them, "The term of years for Satan's power has now expired, but other terrors are at hand. I was delivered to death on behalf of sinners, that they might return to the truth and sin no more, that they might inherit that glory of righteousness which is spiritual and imperishable in heaven."]

for He who is Mighty has done great things for me. His name is holy,

He has done a deed of might with his arm, he has scattered the proud with their purposes,

The man whom the daemons had left begged that he might accompany him. Jesus, however, sent him away, saying,

it was that the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world might be charged upon this generation,

However he secured the royal power and came home. Then he ordered the servants to be called who had been given the money, that he might find out what business they had done.

Meanwhile the high priests and scribes stood and accused him with might and main.

he came for the purpose of witnessing, to bear testimony to the Light, so that all men might believe by means of him.

I myself did not recognize him; I only came to baptize with water, in order that he might be disclosed to Israel."

(I knew thou wouldst always listen to me, but I spoke on account of the crowd around, that they might believe thou hast sent me.)"

(The high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that they were to be informed, if anyone found out where he was, so that they might arrest him.)

Now for all the Signs he had performed before them, they did not believe in him ??38 that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: Lord, who has believed what they heard from us, And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

When I say 'you,' I do not mean you all; I know the men of my choice, and I made my choice that this scripture might be fulfilled, he who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.

When I was with them, I kept them by the power of thy Name which thou hast given me; I guarded them, and not one of them perished ??only the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

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

they said to themselves, "Don't let us tear it. Let us draw lots to see who gets it" (that the scripture might be fulfilled, they distributed my clothes among them, and drew lots for my raiment). This was what the soldiers did.

For this took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him will be broken.

they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds among all, as anyone might be in need.

In fact, invalids were actually carried into the streets and laid on beds and mattresses, so that, when Peter passed, his shadow at anyrate might fall on one or other of them.

who came down and prayed that the Samaritans might receive the holy Spirit.

for he publicly refuted the Jews with might and main, showing from the scriptures that the messiah was Jesus.

"He might have been released," said Agrippa to Festus, "if he had not appealed to Caesar."

Jesus who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised that we might be justified.

Why, a man will hardly die for the just ??though one might bring oneself to die, if need be, for a good man.

so that, while sin had reigned the reign of death, grace might also reign with a righteousness that ends in life eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Our baptism in his death made us share his burial, so that, as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live and move in the new sphere of Life.

It is the same in your case, my brothers. The crucified body of Christ made you dead to the Law, so that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead that we might be fruitful to God.

For he decreed of old that those whom he predestined should share the likeness of his Son ??that he might be the firstborn of a great brotherhood.

What if God, though desirous to display his anger and show his might, has tolerated most patiently the objects of his anger, ripe and ready to be destroyed?

by the force of miracles and marvels, by the power of the Spirit of God. Thus from Jerusalem right round to Illyricum, I have been able to complete the preaching of the gospel of Christ ??20 my ambition always being to preach it only in places where there had been no mention of Christ's name, that I might not build on foundations laid by others,

so that your faith might not rest on any human 'wisdom' but on the power of God.

So the very reason I wrote was that I might not come only to be pained by those who ought to give me joy; I relied on you all, I felt sure that my joy would be a joy for everyone of you.

For our sakes He made him to be sin who himself knew nothing of sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

(You know how gracious our Lord Jesus Christ was; rich though he was, he became poor for the sake of you, that by his poverty you might be rich.)

But perhaps I did wrong in taking a humble place that you might have a high one ??I mean, in preaching the gospel of God to you for nothing!

My wealth of visions might have puffed me up, so I was given a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan to rack me and keep me from being puffed up;

and when he chose to reveal his Son to me, that I might preach him to the Gentiles, instead of consulting with any human being,

For through the Law I died to the Law that I might live for God;

that the blessing of Abraham might reach the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promised Spirit.

but Scripture has consigned all without exception to the custody of sin, in order that the promise due to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who have faith.

the Law thus held us as wards in discipline, till such time as Christ came, that we might be justified by faith.

to ransom those who were under the Law, that we might get our sonship.

and the surpassing greatness of his power over us believers ??a power which operates with the strength of the might

praying Him out of the wealth of his glory to grant you a mighty increase of strength by his Spirit in the inner man.

To conclude. Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might;

May his glorious might nerve you with full power to endure and to be patient cheerfully, whatever comes,

men who will pay the penalty of being destroyed eternally from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs to the hope of life eternal."

I would have liked to keep him beside me, that as your deputy he might serve me during my imprisonment for the gospel;

but I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness to me might come of your own free will, without any appearance of constraint.

Perhaps this was why you and he were parted for a while, that you might get him back for good,

what we do see is Jesus who was put lower than the angels for a little while to suffer death, and who has been crowned with glory and honour that by God's grace he might taste death for everyone.

Since the children then share blood and flesh, he himself participated in their nature, so that by dying he might crush him who wields the power of death (that is to say, the devil)

so that by these two solid facts (the Promise and the Oath), where it is impossible for God to be false, we refugees might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us,

In fact, we might almost say that even Levi the receiver of tithes paid tithes through Abraham;

In fact, one might almost say that by Law everything is cleansed with blood. No blood shed, no remission of sins!

It was by faith that he celebrated the passover and performed the sprinkling by blood, so that the destroying angel might not touch Israel's first-born.

Some were given back to their womankind, raised from the very dead; others were broken on the wheel, refusing to accept release, that they might obtain a better resurrection;

Elijah was a man with a nature just like our own; but he offered prayer that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain;

he bore our sins in his own body on the gibbet, that we might break with sin and live for righteousness; and by his wounds you have been healed.

Christ himself died for sins, once for all, a just man for unjust men, that he might bring us near to God; in the flesh he was put to death but he came to life in the Spirit.

whereas even angels, superior in might and power, lay no scoffing charge against these before the Lord.

This is how the love of God has appeared for us, by God sending his only Son into the world, so that by him we might live.

crying aloud, "The slain Lamb deserves to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honour and glory and blessing."

and crying, "Even so! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and power and might be to our God for ever and ever: Amen!"

and the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his might, nor could anyone enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were over.

followed by flashes of lightning, loud blasts, peals of thunder, and a mighty earthquake, the like of which never was since man lived on earth, such a mighty earthquake it was;

After that I saw another angel descend from heaven, great in might; his radiance lit up the earth,
