'God' in the Bible

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, 'Who is this that doth speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins, except God only?'

And presently having risen before them, having taken up that on which he was lying, he went away to his house, glorifying God,

and astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying -- 'We saw strange things to-day.'

how he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the presentation did take, and did eat, and gave also to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat, except only to the priests?'

And it came to pass in those days, he went forth to the mountain to pray, and was passing the night in the prayer of God,

And he, having lifted up his eyes to his disciples, said: 'Happy the poor -- because yours is the reign of God.

and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying -- 'A great prophet hath risen among us,' and -- 'God did look upon His people.'

for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign of God is greater than he.'

And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John,

but the Pharisees, and the lawyers, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him.

And it came to pass thereafter, that he was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God, and the twelve are with him,

And he said, 'To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

'And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God,

and he answering said unto them, 'My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'

and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, 'What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!'

'Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him.

and he sent them to proclaim the reign of God, and to heal the ailing.

and the multitudes having known did follow him, and having received them, he was speaking to them concerning the reign of God, and those having need of service he cured.

and he said to them, 'And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering said, 'The Christ of God.'

and I say to you, truly, there are certain of those here standing, who shall not taste of death till they may see the reign of God.'

And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

and Jesus said to him, 'Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.'

and Jesus said unto him, 'No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.'

and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of God hath come nigh to you.

And the dust that hath cleaved to us, from your city, we do wipe off against you, but this know ye, that the reign of God hath come nigh to you;

And he answering said, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.'

but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then come unawares upon you did the reign of God.

And he said, 'Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping it!'

'But woe to you, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not to be neglecting.

because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute,

'Are not five sparrows sold for two assars? and one of them is not forgotten before God,

And I say to you, Every one -- whoever may confess with me before men, the Son of Man also shall confess with him before the messengers of God,

and he who hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God,

And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare -- to whom shall they be?

so is he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'

'Consider the ravens, that they sow not, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God doth nourish them; how much better are ye than the fowls?

and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow into an oven is cast, God doth so clothe, how much more you -- ye of little faith?

but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

and he laid on her his hands, and presently she was set upright, and was glorifying God.

And again he said, 'To what shall I liken the reign of God?

'There shall be there the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth, when ye may see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the reign of God, and yourselves being cast out without;

and they shall come from east and west, and from north and south, and shall recline in the reign of God,

And one of those reclining with him, having heard these things, said to him, 'Happy is he who shall eat bread in the reign of God;'

'So I say to you, joy doth come before the messengers of God over one sinner reforming.'

'No domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able to serve God and mammon.'

and he said to them, 'Ye are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because that which among men is high, is abomination before God;

the law and the prophets are till John; since then the reign of God is proclaimed good news, and every one doth press into it;

and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God,

There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;'

And having been questioned by the Pharisees, when the reign of God doth come, he answered them, and said, 'The reign of God doth not come with observation;

nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the reign of God is within you.'

saying, 'A certain judge was in a certain city -- God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding --

and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,

and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night -- bearing long in regard to them?

the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;

And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me -- the sinner!

and Jesus having called them near, said, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.'

And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one is good, except One -- God;

And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, 'How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God!

for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.'

and he said, 'The things impossible with men are possible with God.'

and he said to them, 'Verily I say to you, that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the reign of God,

and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.

And while they are hearing these things, having added he spake a simile, because of his being nigh to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the reign of God is about presently to be made manifest.

and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

and they questioned him, saying, 'Teacher, we have known that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a person, but in truth the way of God dost teach;

and he said to them, 'Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'

for neither are they able to die any more -- for they are like messengers -- and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again.

'And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.'

for all these out of their superabundance did cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, did cast in.'

so also ye, when ye may see these things happening, ye know that near is the reign of God;

for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.'

for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine till the reign of God may come.'

henceforth, there shall be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.'

And they all said, 'Thou, then, art the Son of God?' and he said unto them, 'Ye say it, because I am;'

And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, 'Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'

And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, 'Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment?

And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, 'Really this man was righteous;'

-- he was not consenting to their counsel and deed -- from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God,

And he said to them, 'What things?' And they said to him, 'The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man -- a prophet -- powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people,

and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

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;

There came a man -- having been sent from God -- whose name is John,

but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God -- to those believing in his name,

who -- not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but -- of God were begotten.

God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father -- he did declare.

on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;

and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.'

and having looked on Jesus walking, he saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God;'

Nathanael answered and saith to him, 'Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.'

and he saith to him, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down upon the Son of Man.'

this one came unto him by night, and said to him, 'Rabbi, we have known that from God thou hast come -- a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not be with him.'

Jesus answered and said to him, 'Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;'

Jesus answered, 'Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God;

for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;

he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
