When praying, do not repeat the same words over and over again, as is done by the Gentiles, who think that by using many words they will obtain a hearing.

At that same time Jesus uttered the words: "I thank thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that, though thou has hidden these things from the wise and learned, thou hast revealed them to the child-like!

About the same time Jesus walked through the corn-fields one Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and began to pick some ears of wheat and eat them.

That same day, when Jesus had left the house and was sitting by the Sea,

And I tell you that Elijah has already come, and people have not recognized him, but have treated him just as they pleased. In the same way, too, the Son of Man is destined to undergo suffering at men's hands."

On the same occasion the disciples came to Jesus, and asked him: "Who is really the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"

But, on going out, that same servant came upon one of his fellow-servants who owed him ten pounds. Seizing him by the throat, he said 'Pay what you owe me.'

'These last,' they said, 'have done only one hour's work, and yet you have put them on the same footing with us, who have borne the brunt of the day's work, and the heat.'

Take what belongs to you, and go. I choose to give to this last man the same as to you.

Then the father went to the second son, and said the same. 'I will not,' he answered; but afterwards he was sorry and went.

A second time the owner sent some servants, a larger number than before, and the tenants treated them in the same way.

That same day some Sadducees came up to Jesus, maintaining that there is no resurrection. Their question was this:--

The same thing happened to the second and the third brothers, and indeed to all the seven.

It is the same with you. Outwardly, and to others, you have the look of religious men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and sin.

"Even if I must die with you," Peter exclaimed, "I shall never disown you!" All the disciples spoke in the same way.

So he left them, and went away again, and prayed a third time, again saying the same words.

Jesus at the same time said to the crowds: "Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me? I have sat teaching day after day in the Temple Courts, and yet you did not arrest me."

At the same time two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right, the other on the left.

In the same way the Chief Priests, with the Teaches of the Law and Councillors, said in mockery:

Even the robbers, who were crucified with him, reviled him in the same way.

In the evening of the same day, Jesus said to them: "Let us go across."

But Peter vehemently protested: "Even if I must die with you, I shall never disown you!" And they all said the same.

Again he went away, and prayed in the same words;

In the same way the Chief Priests, with the Teachers of the Law, said to one another in mockery:

In that same country-side were shepherds out in the open fields, watching their flocks that night,

"Let the man who has two coats," answered John, "share with him who has none; and the man who has food do the same."

Remain at that same house, and eat and drink whatever they offer you; for the worker is worth his wages. Do not keep changing from one house to another.

At that same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: "I thank thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that, though thou hast hidden these things from the wise and learned, thou hast revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank thee that this has seemed good to thee.

A Levite, too, did the same; he came up to the spot, but, when he saw the man, passed by on the opposite side.

"The one that took pity on him," was the answer; on which Jesus said: "Go and do the same yourself."

No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner."

It will be the same on the day on which the Son of Man reveals himself.

On that night, I tell you, of two men upon the same bed, one will be taken and the other left;

In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said 'Grant me justice against my opponent.'

And in the same way with the cup, after supper, saying: "This cup is the New Covenant made by my blood which is being poured out on your behalf.]

But the other rebuked him. "Have not you," he said, "any fear of God, now that you are under the same sentence?

The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes, or where it goes; it is the same with every one that owes his birth to the Spirit."

And then Jesus took the loaves, and, after saying the thanksgiving, distributed them to those who were sitting down; and the same with the fish, giving the people as much as they wanted.

I tell you what I have myself seen in the presence of my Father; and you, in the same way, do what you have learned from your father."

Now a man named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill; he belonged to the same village as Mary and her sister Martha.

You, in the same way, are sorry now; but I shall see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.

In the evening of the same day--the first day of the week-- after the doors of the room, in which the disciples were, had been shut for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said: "Peace be with you";

This same Moses, whom they had disowned with the words--'Who made you a ruler and a judge?' was the very man whom God sent to be both a ruler and a deliverer, under the guidance of the angel that had appeared to him in the bush.

Since then, God had given them the very same gift as he gave us when we became believers in Jesus Christ the Master--who was I that I could thwart God?"

However, Saul (who is the same as Paul), full of the Holy Spirit, fixed his eyes on him and said:

The same thing occurred in Iconium, where Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish Synagogue, and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed in Christ.

And, since their trade was the same as his, he stayed and worked with them--their trade was tent-making.

This, however, I do acknowledge to you, that it is as a believer in the Cause which they call heretical, that I worship the God of my ancestors. At the same time, I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the prophets;

For it seems to me absurd to send a prisoner, without at the same time stating the charges made against him."

Then they cast off, and abandoned the anchors, and at the same time unlashed the gear of the steering oars, hoisted the foresail to the wind, and made for the beach.

Therefore you have nothing to say in your own defense, whoever you are who set yourself up as a judge. In judging others you condemn yourself, for you who set yourself up as a judge do the very same things.

Yes, of the Gentiles also, since there is only one God, and he will pronounce those who are circumcised righteous as the result of faith, and also those who are uncircumcised on their showing the same faith.

In precisely the same way David speaks of the blessing pronounced upon the man who is regarded by God as righteous apart from actions--

But also with reference to us. Our faith, too, will be regarded by God in the same light, if we have faith in him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead;

I can but speak as men do because of the weakness of your earthly nature. Once you offered every part of your bodies to the service of impurity, and of wickedness, which leads to further wickedness. Now, in the same way, offer them to the service of Righteousness, which leads to holiness.

What are we to say, then? That Law and sin are the same thing? Heaven forbid! On the contrary, I should not have learned what sin is, had not it been for Law. If the Law did not say 'Thou shalt not covet,' I should not know what it is to covet.

Has not the potter absolute power over his clay, so that out of the same lump he makes one thing for better, and another for common, use?

For no distinction is made between the Jew and the Greek, for all have the same Lord, and he is bountiful to all who invoke him.

Let the same spirit of sympathy animate you all, not a spirit of pride; be glad to associate with the lowly. Do not think too highly of yourselves.

Am I, in all this, speaking only from the human standpoint? Does not the Law also say the same?

And that they all ate the same supernatural food,

and all drank the same supernatural water, for they used to drink from a supernatural rock which followed them, and that rock was the Christ.

And in the same way with the cup, after supper, saying "This cup is the new Covenant made by my blood. Do this, whenever you drink it, in memory of me."

Gifts differ, but the Spirit is the same;

Ways of serving differ, yet the Master is the same;

Results differ, yet the God who brings about every result is in every case the same.

To one is given the power to speak with wisdom through the Spirit; to another the power to speak with knowledge, due to the same Spirit;

To another faith by the same Spirit; to another power to cure diseases by the one Spirit; to another supernatural powers;

All these result from one and the same Spirit, who distributes his gifts to each individually as he wills.

As to secure that there should be no disunion in the body, but that the parts should show the same care for one another.

All forms of life are not the same; there is one for men, another for beasts, another for birds, and another for fishes.

It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. Sown a mortal body, it rises immortal; sown disfigured, it rises beautiful;

As this was my plan, where, pray, did I show any fickleness of purpose? Or do you think that my plans are formed on mere impulse, so that in the same breath I say 'Yes' and 'No'?

But their minds were slow to learn. Indeed, to this very day, at the public reading of the Old Covenant, the same veil remains unlifted; only for those who are in union with Christ does it pass away.

Indeed, the same God who said 'Out of darkness light shall shine,' has shone in upon our hearts, so that we should bring out into the light the knowledge of the glory of God, seen in the face of Christ.

But, in the same spirit of faith as that expressed in the words--'I believed, and therefore I spoke,' we, also believe, and therefore speak.

I thank God for inspiring Titus with the same keen interest in your welfare that I have;

I urged Titus to go, and I sent our Brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did not we live in the same Spirit, and tread in the same footsteps?

The rest of the Jewish converts were guilty of the same hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led away by it.

Yet at that time the child born in the course of nature persecuted the child born by the power of the Spirit; and it is the same now.

The same mighty power was exerted upon the Christ, when he raised the Christ from the dead and 'caused him to sit at his right hand' on high, exalting him above all Angels and Archangels of every rank,

He who went down is the same as he who went up--up beyond the highest Heaven, that he might fill all things with his presence.

And masters, treat your slaves in the same spirit. Give up threatening them; for you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in Heaven, and that before him there is no distinction of rank.

You will be engaged in the same hard struggle as that which you once saw me waging, and which you hear that I am waging still.

I entreat you to make my happiness complete--Live together animated by the same spirit and in mutual love, one in heart, animated by one Spirit.

For I have no one but him to send--no one of kindred spirit who would take the same genuine interest in your welfare.

And at the same time pray for us, that God may give us an opening for our Message, so that we may speak of the truths hidden in the Christ--the truths for which I am in chains!

For you, Brothers, began to follow the example of the Churches of God in Judea which are in union with Jesus Christ; you, in your turn, suffering at the hands of your fellow-citizens, in the same way as those Churches did at the hands of the Jews--

The Presiding-Officer should not be a recent convert, that he may not be blinded by pride and fall under the same condemnation as the Devil.

It should be the same with the women. They should be serious, not gossips, sober, and trustworthy in all respects.

In the same way noble deeds become conspicuous, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.

As a mantle thou wilt fold them up, And as a garment they shall be changed, But thou art the same, and thy years shall know no end.'

In the same way, even the Christ did not take the honour of the High Priesthood upon himself, but he was appointed by him who said to him-- 'Thou art my Son; this day I have become thy Father';

And in the same way he also sprinkled with the blood the Tabernacle and all the things that were used in public worship.

Every other priest stands day after day at his ministrations, and offers the same sacrifices over and over again--sacrifices that can never take sins away.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day--yes, and for ever!

Therefore let us go out to him 'outside the camp,' bearing the same reproaches as he;

But, if you worship rank, you commit a sin, and stand convicted by that same law of being offenders against it.

In just the same way faith, if not followed by actions, is, by itself, a lifeless thing.

Was not it the same with the prostitute, Rahab? Was not it as the result of her actions that she was pronounced righteous, after she had welcomed the messengers and hastened them away by a different road?
