'God' in the Bible

knowing your election, brothers loved by God.

For the Lord’s message rang out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place that your faith in God has gone out. Therefore, we don’t need to say anything,

for they themselves report what kind of reception we had from you: how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God

On the contrary, after we had previously suffered, and we were treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, we were emboldened by our God to speak the gospel of God to you in spite of great opposition.

Instead, just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please men, but rather God, who examines our hearts.

For we never used flattering speech, as you know, or had greedy motives—God is our witness—

We cared so much for you that we were pleased to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.

You are witnesses, and so is God, of how devoutly, righteously, and blamelessly we conducted ourselves with you believers.

we encouraged, comforted, and implored each one of you to walk worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

This is why we constantly thank God, because when you received the message about God that you heard from us, you welcomed it not as a human message, but as it truly is, the message of God, which also works effectively in you believers.

who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets and persecuted us; they displease God and are hostile to everyone,

How can we thank God for you in return for all the joy we experience before our God because of you,

Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.

May He make your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.

Finally then, brothers, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus, that as you have received from us how you must walk and please God—as you are doing—do so even more.

not with lustful desires, like the Gentiles who don’t know God.

For God has not called us to impurity but to sanctification.

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

About brotherly love: You don’t need me to write you because you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.

Since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in the same way God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the archangel’s voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely. And may your spirit, soul, and body be kept sound and blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy:To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We must always thank God for you, brothers. This is right, since your faith is flourishing and the love each one of you has for one another is increasing.

since it is righteous for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you

taking vengeance with flaming fire on those who don’t know God and on those who don’t obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

And in view of this, we always pray for you that our God will consider you worthy of His calling, and will, by His power, fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith,

so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified by you, and you by Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits in God’s sanctuary, publicizing that he himself is God.

For this reason God sends them a strong delusion so that they will believe what is false,

But we must always thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God has chosen you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in the truth.

May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal encouragement and good hope by grace,

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope:

To Timothy, my true son in the faith.Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

based on the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was entrusted to me.

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

This is good, and it pleases God our Savior,

For there is one Godand one mediator between God and humanity,Christ Jesus, Himself human,

but with good works, as is proper for women who affirm that they worship God.

But if I should be delayed, I have written so that you will know how people ought to act in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

They forbid marriage and demand abstinence from foods that God created to be received with gratitude by those who believe and know the truth.

For everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

since it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.

In fact, we labor and strive for this, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, especially of those who believe.

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must learn to practice godliness toward their own family first and to repay their parents, for this pleases God.

The real widow, left all alone, has put her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers;

I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing out of favoritism.

But you, man of God, run from these things,and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith,love, endurance, and gentleness.

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

God will bring this about in His own time. He isthe blessed and only Sovereign,the King of kings,and the Lord of lords,

Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be arrogant or to set their hope on the uncertainty of wealth, but on God, who richly provides us with all things to enjoy.

To Timothy, my dearly loved son.Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as my ancestors did, when I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day.

Therefore, I remind you to keep ablaze the gift of God that is in you through the laying on of my hands.

For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.

So don’t be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, or of me His prisoner. Instead, share in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power of God.

Remind them of these things, charging them before God not to fight about words; this is in no way profitable and leads to the ruin of the hearers.

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the word of truth.

instructing his opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance leading them to the knowledge of the truth.

traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness,

so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and because of His appearing and His kingdom:

Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to build up the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,

in the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

In His own time He has revealed His message in the proclamation that I was entrusted with by the command of God our Savior:

To Titus, my true son in our common faith.Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

They profess to know God, but they deny Him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, and disqualified for any good work.

or stealing, but demonstrating utter faithfulness, so that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in everything.

For the grace of God has appeared with salvation for all people,

while we wait for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

But when the kindness of God our Savior and His lovefor mankind appeared,

This saying is trustworthy. I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed God might be careful to devote themselves to good works. These are good and profitable for everyone.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers,

Long ago God spoke to the fathers by the prophets at different times and in different ways.

but to the Son:Your throne, God,is forever and ever,and the scepter of Your kingdomis a scepter of justice.

You have loved righteousnessand hated lawlessness;this is why God, Your God,has anointed Youwith the oil of joyrather than Your companions.

At the same time, God also testified by signs and wonders, various miracles, and distributions of gifts from the Holy Spirit according to His will.

Again, I will trust in Him. And again, Here I am with the children God gave Me.

Therefore, He had to be like His brothers in every way, so that He could become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

Now every house is built by someone, but the One who built everything is God.

Watch out, brothers, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that departs from the living God.

for somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this way:And on the seventh dayGod rested from all His works.

For the person who has entered His rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from His.

For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the ideas and thoughts of the heart.

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to the confession.

For every high priest taken from men is appointed in service to God for the people, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

No one takes this honor on himself; instead, a person is called by God, just as Aaron was.

and He was declared by God a high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

Therefore, leaving the elementary message about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, faith in God,

And we will do this if God permits.

and who have fallen away, because, to their own harm, they are recrucifying the Son of God and holding Him up to contempt.

For ground that has drunk the rain that has often fallen on it and that produces vegetation useful to those it is cultivated for receives a blessing from God.

For God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you showed for His name when you served the saints—and you continue to serve them.

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself:

Because God wanted to show His unchangeable purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath,

so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us.
