'God' in the Bible

So [is] the one who stores up treasure for himself, and who is not rich toward God!"

Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; to them there is neither storeroom nor barn, and God feeds them. How much more are you worth than the birds?

But if God clothes the grass in the field in this way, [although it] is [here] today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more [will he do so for] you, you of little faith?

And he placed [his] hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and glorified God.

And again he said, "To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?

In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves thrown outside!

And they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

Now [when] one of those reclining at the table with [him] heard these [things], he said to him, "Blessed [is] {everyone who} will eat bread in the kingdom of God!"

In the [same] way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

No domestic slave is able to serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and will despise the other. You are not able to serve God and money."

And he said to them, "You are the ones who justify themselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts! For [what is] [considered] exalted among men [is] an abomination in the sight of God.

"The law and the prophets [were] until John; from that time [on] the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is urgently pressed into it.

But one of them, [when he] saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice.

Was no one found to turn back [and] give praise to God except this foreigner?"

Now [when he] was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with {things that can be observed},

nor will they say, 'Behold, here [it is]!' or 'There!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst."

saying, "There was a certain judge in a certain town who did not fear God and did not respect people.

And he was not willing for a time, but after these [things] he said to himself, 'Even if I do not fear God or respect people,

And will not God surely {see to it that justice is done} to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night, and will he delay toward them?

The Pharisee stood [and] prayed these [things] with reference to himself: 'God, I give thanks to you that I am not like other people--swindlers, unrighteous [people], adulterers, or even like this tax collector!

But the tax collector, standing far away, did not want even to raise his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!'

But Jesus called them to himself, saying, "Allow the children to come to me, and do not forbid them, {for to such belongs} the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one [is] good except God alone.

And Jesus took notice of him [and] said, "How {difficult it is for} those who possess wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!

For it is easier [for] a camel to go through the eye of a needle than [for] a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.

But he said, "[What is] impossible with men is possible with God."

And he said to them, "Truly I say to you that there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children on account of the kingdom of God,

And immediately he regained [his] sight and began to follow him, glorifying God. And all the people, [when they] saw [it], gave praise to God.

Now [while] they were listening to these [things], he went on [and] told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

Now [as] he was drawing near by this time to the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a loud voice for all the miracles that they had seen,

And they asked him, saying, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and do not {show partiality}, but teach the way of God in truth.

So he said to them, "Well then, give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!"

for they are not even able to die any longer, because they are like the angels and are sons of God, [because they] are sons of the resurrection.

But that the dead are raised, even Moses revealed in [the passage about] the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and [the] God of Isaac and [the] God of Jacob.

Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him!"

So also you, when you see these [things] happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.

For I tell you that I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the product of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."

But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."

So they all said, "Are you then the Son of God?" And he said to them, "You say that I am."

And the people stood there watching, but the rulers also ridiculed [him], saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if this [man] is the Christ of God, the Chosen One!"

But the other answered [and] rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, because you are undergoing the same condemnation?

Now [when] the centurion saw what had happened, he began to praise God, saying, "Certainly this man was righteous!"

(this man was not consenting to their plan and deed), from Arimathea, {a Judean town}, who was looking forward to the kingdom of God.

And he said to them, "What [things]?" So they said to him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, a man who was a prophet, powerful in deed and word before God and all the people,

And they were {continually} in the temple [courts] praising God.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

This one was in the beginning with God.

A man came, sent from God, {whose name was} John.

But as many as received him--to those who believe in his name--he gave to them authority to become children of God,

who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of a husband, but of God.

No one has seen God at any time; the one and only, God, the one who is in the bosom of the Father--that one has made [him] known.

On the next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

And I have seen and testify that this one is the Chosen One of God.

and looking at Jesus [as he] was walking by, he said, "Look! The Lamb of God!"

Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the king of Israel!"

And he said to him, "Truly, truly I say to all of you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."

This man came to him at night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that [you are] a teacher who has come from God, for no one is able to perform these signs that you are performing unless God were with him."

Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God."

Jesus answered, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born of water and spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.

For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world in order that he should judge the world, but in order that the world should be saved through him.

The one who believes in him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has already been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, in order that his deeds may be revealed, that they are done in God.

The one who accepts his testimony has attested that God is true.

For [the one] whom God sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit by measure.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life--but the wrath of God remains on him.

Jesus answered and said to her, "If you had known the gift of God and who it is who says to you, 'Give me [water] to drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

God [is] spirit, and the ones who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

So on account of this the Jews were seeking even more to kill him, because he not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God his own Father, [thus] making himself equal with God.

"Truly, truly I say to you, that an hour is coming--and now is [here]--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones who hear will live.

but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

How are you able to believe, [if you] accept glory from one another, and do not seek the glory [which is] from the only God?

Do not work for the food that perishes, but the food that remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has set his seal on this one."

So they said to him, "What shall we do that we can accomplish the works of God?"

Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God: that you believe in [the one] whom that one sent."

For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

It is written in the prophets, 'And they will all be taught by God.' Everyone who hears from the Father and learns comes to me.

(Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God--this one has seen the Father.)

And we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God."

If anyone wants to do his will, he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking from myself.

But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who spoke to you the truth which I heard from God. This Abraham did not do.

You are doing the deeds of your father!" They said to him, "We were not born from sexual immorality! We have one father, God!"

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.

The one who is from God listens to the words of God. Because of this you do not listen--because you are not of God."

Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. The one who glorifies me is my Father, [about] whom you say, 'He is our God.'

Jesus replied, "Neither this man sinned nor his parents, but [it happened] so that the works of God could be revealed in him.

So some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath!" Others were saying, "How can a man [who is] a sinner perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

So they summoned the man who had been blind for the second time and said to him, "Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner!"

We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from."

We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if someone is devout and does his will, he listens to this one.

If this man were not from God, he would not be able to do anything!"

The Jews answered him, "We are not going to stone you concerning a good deed, but concerning blasphemy, and because you, [although you] are a man, make yourself [to be] God!"

If he called them 'gods' to whom the word of God came--and the scripture cannot be broken--

do you say about [he] whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

And [when he] heard [it], Jesus said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

Even now I know that whatever you ask God, God will grant you."

She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world."

Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"

and not for the nation only, but also that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered into one.)
