'Even' in the Bible

Even as he made selection of us in him from the first, so that we might be holy and free from all evil before him in love:

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.

Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),

Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace;

There is one body and one Spirit, even as you have been marked out by God in the one hope of his purpose for you;

But saying true words in love, may come to full growth in him, who is the head, even Christ;

If in fact you gave ear to him, and were given teaching in him, even as what is true is made clear in Jesus:

And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.

And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.

But evil acts of the flesh and all unclean things, or desire for others' property, let it not even be named among you, as is right for saints;

For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words.

Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;

Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:

For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;

But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.

And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.

And even if I am offered like a drink offering, giving myself for the cause and work of your faith, I am glad and have joy with you all:

Even though I myself might have faith in the flesh: if any other man has reason to have faith in the flesh, I have more:

Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.

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:

For our country is in heaven; from where the Saviour for whom we are waiting will come, even the Lord Jesus Christ:

Because even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to me in my need.

So that their hearts may be comforted, and that being joined together in love, they may come to the full wealth of the certain knowledge of the secret of God, even Christ,

Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you:

Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come.

But even as the good news was given to us by the approval of God, so we give it out; not as pleasing men, but God by whom our hearts are tested.

Even so, being full of loving desire for you, we took delight in giving you not only God's good news, but even our lives, because you were dear to us.

Even as you saw how, like a father with his children, we were teaching and comforting you all, and giving witness,

For which reason we made attempts to come to you, even I, Paul, once and again; but Satan kept us from coming.

For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?

But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has given us good news of your faith and love, and that you have happy memories of us, desiring greatly to see us, even as we do to see you;

And the Lord give you increase of love in fullest measure to one another and to all men, even as our love to you;

For if we have faith that Jesus underwent death and came back again, even so those who are sleeping will come again with him by God's power.

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;

For the secret of evil is even now at work: but there is one who is keeping back the evil till he is taken out of the way.

Even the one whose coming is marked by the working of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

And in this purpose he gave you a part through the good news of which we were the preachers, even that you might have part in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For the rest, my brothers, let there be prayer for us that the word of the Lord may go forward with increasing glory, even as it does with you;

For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food.

For even now some are turned away to Satan.

In which I put up with the hardest conditions, even prison chains, like one who has done a crime; but the word of God is not in chains.

Men whose ideas are all false, who say that the coming back from the dead has even now taken place, overturning the faith of some.

For I am even now being offered, and my end is near.

I, Paul, writing this myself, say, I will make payment to you: and I do not say to you that you are in debt to me even for your life.

Being certain that you will do my desire, I am writing to you, in the knowledge that you will do even more than I say.

They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end.

But we see him who was made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, crowned with glory and honour, because he let himself be put to death so that by the grace of God he might undergo death for all men.

Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house.

And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house.

For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ;

And, truly, the good news came to us, even as it did to them; but the hearing of the word did them no good, because they were not united in faith with the true hearers.

For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.

But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil.

And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;

And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,

So that even the first agreement was not made without blood.

But we are not of those who go back to destruction; but of those who have faith even to the salvation of the soul.

Judging that God was able to give life even to the dead; and because of this he did get him back as if from death.

And others were tested by being laughed at or by blows, and even with chains and prisons:

For you have knowledge that even long after, when he was desiring the blessing for his heritage, he was turned away, though he made his request frequently and with weeping; because the past might not be changed.

For the order which said, If the mountain is touched even by a beast, the beast is to be stoned, seemed hard to them;

And the vision was so overpowering that even Moses said, I am shaking and full of fear.

Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

Even so faith without works is dead.

For as the body without the spirit is dead even so faith without works is dead.

Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire!

There is only one judge and law-giver, even he who has the power of salvation and of destruction; but who are you to be your neighbour's judge?

For so you have the true end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

And it was made clear to those prophets that they were God's servants not for themselves but for you, to give you word of the things which have now come to your ears from the preachers of the good news through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; things which even angels have a desire to see.

But through holy blood, like that of a clean and unmarked lamb, even the blood of Christ:

Servants, take orders from your masters with all respect; not only if they are good and gentle, but even if they are bad-humoured.

Wives, be ruled by your husbands; so that even if some of them give no attention to the word, their hearts may be changed by the behaviour of their wives,

For this was the reason why the good news of Jesus was given even to the dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but might be living before God in the spirit.

And if it is hard for even the good man to get salvation, what chance has the man without religion or the sinner?

And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly put forward wrong teachings for your destruction, even turning away from the Lord who gave himself for them; whose destruction will come quickly, and they themselves will be the cause of it.

For the evil which overtakes them is the reward of their evil-doing: such men take their pleasure in the delights of the flesh even in the daytime; they are like the marks of a disease, like poisoned wounds among you, feasting together with you in joy;

And be certain that the long waiting of the Lord is for salvation; even as our brother Paul has said in his letters to you, from the wisdom which was given to him;

Again, I give you a new law, which is true in him and in you; for the night is near its end and the true light is even now shining out.

And this is the hope which he gave you, even eternal life.

And everyone who has this hope in him makes himself holy, even as he is holy.

My little children, let no man take you out of the true way: he who does righteousness is upright, even as he is upright;

And this is his law, that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love for one another, even as he said to us.

And every spirit which does not say this is not from God: this is the spirit of Antichrist, of which you have had word; and it is in the world even now.

It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father.

My loved one, it is my prayer that you may do well in all things, and be healthy in body, even as your soul does well.

Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the towns near them, having like these, given themselves up to unclean desires and gone after strange flesh, have been made an example, undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

And to some give salvation, pulling them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the clothing which is made unclean by the flesh.

Who gave witness of the word of God, and of the witness of Jesus Christ, even of all the things which he saw.

I have knowledge that your living-place is where Satan has his seat: and you are true to my name, and were not turned away from your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my true witness, who was put to death among you, where Satan has his place.

But to you I say, to the rest in Thyatira, even to those who have not this teaching, and have no knowledge of the secrets of Satan, as they say; I put on you no other weight.

And he will be ruling them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of the potter they will be broken, even as I have power from my Father:

To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat.

And there was given to every one a white robe, and they were ordered to take their rest for a little time, till the number was complete of the other servants, their brothers, who would be put to death, even as they had been.

And his mouth was open to say evil against God, and against his name and his Tent, even against those who are in heaven.
