'Gives' in the Bible

There was a lot of whispered discussion and murmuring among the crowds about Him. Some were saying, “He is a good man”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He misleads the people [giving them false ideas].”

I give witness about myself and the Father who sent me gives witness about me.

The father whose sons you are is the Devil; and you desire to do what gives him pleasure. *He* was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth--for there is no truth in him. Whenever he utters his lie, he utters it out of his own store; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

He who is a child of God gives ear to the words of God: your ears are not open to them because you are not from God.

Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

I am the good keeper of sheep: the good keeper gives his life for the sheep.

Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.

And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.

Jesus answers, He it is to whom I, after I have dipped the morsel, give it. And having dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas son of Simon, Iscariote.

“Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must not be troubled or fearful.

I am the vine, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing.

Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.

A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.

For the Father himself gives his love to you, because you have given your love to me and have had faith that I came from God.

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

And he (John, the eyewitness) who has seen it has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also [who read this] may believe.

Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and the fish in like manner.

This is the disciple who gives witness about these things and who put them in writing: and we have knowledge that his witness is true.

Neither is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives everyone life and breath and all things.

Those times when men had no knowledge were overlooked by God; but now he gives orders to all men in every place to undergo a change of heart:

But to him who without working has faith in him who gives righteousness to the evil-doer, his faith is put to his account as righteousness.

in God’s sight. As it is written: I have made you the father of many nations. He believed in God, who gives life to the dead and calls things into existence that do not exist.

And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;

And waiting gives experience; and experience, hope:

But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners.

For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

So then, if she gives herself to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then, if she gives herself to another man, she is not an adulteress.

There is no difference between Jew and Greek, because they all have the same Lord, who gives richly to all who call on him.

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable [for He does not withdraw what He has given, nor does He change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call].

or he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, in simplicity; he that leads, with diligence; he that shews mercy, with cheerfulness.

Whoever observes the day, observes it for the honor of the Lord. Whoever eats, eats for the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; and whoever does not eat, it is for the Lord that he does not eat it, yet he thanks God.

Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense.

The faith which you have, have it to yourself before God. Happy is the man who is not judged by that to which he gives approval.

Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,

May God, who gives peace be with you all! Amen.

So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

Why, who gives you your superiority, my brother? Or what have you that you did not receive? And if you really did receive it, why boast as if this were not so?

Have you not knowledge that evil-doers will have no part in the kingdom of God? Have no false ideas about this: no one who goes after the desires of the flesh, or gives worship to images, or is untrue when married, or is less than a man, or makes a wrong use of men,

But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord:

But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife.

And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

So then both he who gives his own virgin daughter in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage will do better.

Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.

Now food will not commend us to God nor bring us close to Him; we are no worse off if we do not eat, nor are we better if we do eat.

For if I [merely] preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast about, for I am compelled [that is, absolutely obligated to do it]. Woe to me if I do not preach the good news [of salvation]!

So then I am running, not uncertainly; so I am fighting, not as one who gives blows in the air:

If an unbeliever gives you an invitation and you are disposed to accept it, eat whatever is put before you, and ask no questions for conscience' sake.

Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

But one and the same Spirit produces all these results and gives what he wants to each person.

For our knowledge is only in part, and the prophet's word gives only a part of what is true:

For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God].

Go after love; still desiring to have the things which the Spirit gives, but most of all that you may have the prophet's power.

But the word of the prophet gives men knowledge and comfort and strength.

He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet's word does good to the church.

And if the [war] bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

So if you are desiring the things which the Spirit gives, let your minds be turned first to the things which are for the good of the church.

Then the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him who is God and Father; when he shall have annulled all rule and all authority and power.

But God gives it a body as He wants, and to each of the seeds its own body.

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victorythrough our Lord Jesus Christ!

Heartfelt thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father who is full of compassion and the God who gives all comfort.

Who gives us comfort in all our troubles, so that we may be able to give comfort to others who are in trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

who has also qualified us to be ministers of a new covenant, which is not written but spiritual, because the written text brings death, but the Spirit gives life.

But God who gives comfort to the poor in spirit gave us comfort by the coming of Titus;

For the sorrow which God gives is the cause of salvation through a change of heart, in which there is no reason for grief: but the sorrow of the world is a cause of death.

It gives me great joy to see you answering to my good opinion of you in every way.

But thanks be to God, who gives the same diligent zeal for you in the heart of Titus.

As it is written, "He scatters everywhere and gives to the poor; his righteousness lasts forever."

And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness;

You put up with a man if he makes servants of you, if he makes profit out of you, if he makes you prisoners, if he puts himself in a high place, if he gives you blows on the face.

Finally, brethren, be joyful, secure perfection of character, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace. And then God who gives love and peace will be with you.

Therefore does the one who gives you the Spirit and who works miracles among you [do so] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

with darkened understandings, having by reason of the ignorance which is deep-seated in them and the insensibility of their moral nature, no share in the Life which God gives.

Being certain of this, that no man who gives way to the passions of the flesh, no unclean person, or one who has desire for the property of others, or who gives worship to images, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and God.

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;

The doctrines and the line of conduct which I taught you--both what you heard and what you saw in me-- hold fast to them; and God who gives peace will be with you.

I have strength for all things in him that gives me power.

and let the peace which Christ gives settle all questionings in your hearts, to which peace indeed you were called as belonging to His one Body; and be thankful.

And you followed the pattern set you by us and by the Master, after you had received the Message amid severe persecution, and yet with the joy which the Holy Spirit gives,

Therefore, the person who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit.

And may God Himself who gives peace, make you entirely holy; and may your spirits, souls and bodies be preserved complete and be found blameless at the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank the Messiah Jesus, our Lord, who gives me strength, that he has considered me faithful and has appointed me to his service.

But she who gives herself to wanton pleasure is dead even while she lives.

If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion,

he is conceited and understands nothing, but has an unhealthy interest in controversies and verbal disputes. This gives rise to envy, dissension, slanders, evil suspicions,

In the presence of God, who gives life to all, and of Christ Jesus, who gave a good confession before Pontius Pilate, I charge you

Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use;

Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness:

For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham.

He again sets a definite day, [a new] “Today,” [providing another opportunity to enter that rest by] saying through David after so long a time, just as has been said before [in the words already quoted],“Today if you hear His voice,Do not harden your hearts.”

The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.

And the Holy Spirit also gives us His testimony; for when He had said,

Now may God who gives peace, and brought Jesus, our Lord, up again from among the dead--even Him who, by virtue of the blood of the eternal Covenant, is the great Shepherd of the sheep--

Because you have the knowledge that the testing of your faith gives you the power of going on in hope;

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him.

Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].

Speak and act as those who will be judged by a law that gives freedom.

But He gives greater grace. Therefore He says:God resists the proud,but gives grace to the humble.

To whom your love is given, though you have not seen him; and the faith which you have in him, though you do not see him now, gives you joy greater than words and full of glory:

And baptism, of which this is an image, now gives you salvation, not by washing clean the flesh, but by making you free from the sense of sin before God, through the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead;
