'Lord' in the Bible

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is the right thing to do.

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up by training and instructing them about the Lord.

Serve willingly, as if you were serving the Lord and not merely people,

because you know that everyone will receive a reward from the Lord for whatever good he has done, whether he is a slave or free.

Finally, be strong in the Lord, relying on his mighty strength.

So that you may know what has happened to me and how I am doing, Tychicus, our dear brother and a faithful minister in service to the Lord, will tell you everything.

May peace and love, with faith, be with the brothers, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah!

May grace be with all who sincerely love the Lord Jesus, the Messiah!

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

Moreover, because of my imprisonment the Lord has caused most of the brothers to become confident to speak God's word more boldly and courageously than ever before.

Then every tongue in one accord, will say that Jesus the Messiah is Lord, while God the Father praising.

Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon so that I can be encouraged when I learn of your condition.

Indeed, I am confident in the Lord that I will come to visit you soon.

So joyfully welcome him in the Lord and make sure you honor such people highly,

So then, my brothers, keep on rejoicing in the Lord. It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you; indeed, it is for your safety.

What is more, I continue to consider all these things to be a loss for the sake of what is far more valuable, knowing the Messiah Jesus, my Lord. It is because of him that I have experienced the loss of all those things. Indeed, I consider them rubbish in order to gain the Messiah

Our citizenship, however, is in heaven, and it is from there that we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

Therefore, my dear brothers whom I long for, my joy and my victor's crown, this is how you must stand firm in the Lord, dear friends.

I urge Euodia and Syntyche to have the same attitude in the Lord.

Keep on rejoicing in the Lord at all times. I will say it again: Keep on rejoicing!

Let your gracious attitude be known to all people. The Lord is near:

Now I rejoice in the Lord greatly, because once again you have shown your concern for me. Of course, you were concerned for me but you did not have an opportunity to show it.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with your spirit! Amen.

We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, praying always for you,

so that you might live in a manner worthy of the Lord and be fully pleasing to him as you bear fruit while doing all kinds of good things and growing in the full knowledge of God.

So then, just as you have received the Messiah Jesus the Lord, continue to live dependent on him.

Be tolerant of one another and forgive each other if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also should forgive.

And whatever you do, whether by speech or action, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is appropriate for those who belong to the Lord.

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only while being watched in order to please them, but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord.

Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it for the Lord and not merely for people.

You know that it is from the Lord that you will receive the inheritance as a reward. It is the Lord Messiah whom you are serving!

Tychicus will tell you everything that has happened to me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord.

Tell Archippus, "See that you complete the ministry you have received from the Lord."

From: Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy. To: The church of the Thessalonians in union with God the Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah. May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

In the presence of our God and Father, we constantly remember how your faith is active, your love is hard at work, and your hope in our Lord Jesus the Messiah is enduring.

You became imitators of us and of the Lord. In spite of a great deal of suffering, you welcomed the word with the joy that the Holy Spirit produces.

From you the word of the Lord has spread out not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place where your faith in God has become known. As a result, we do not need to say anything about it.

who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, who have persecuted us, and who please neither God nor any group of people,

After all, who is our hope, joy, or reason for rejoicing in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming? It is you, isn't it?

For now we can go on living, as long as you continue to stand firm in the Lord.

Now may our God and Father and our Lord Jesus provide a way for us to visit you.

May the Lord greatly increase your love for each other and for all people, just as we love you.

Then your hearts will be strong, blameless, and holy in the presence of God, who is our Father, when our Lord Jesus appears with all his saints.

Now then, brothers, you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, as in fact you are doing. We ask and encourage you in the Lord to do so even more.

You know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

Furthermore, you must never take advantage of or exploit a brother in this regard, because the Lord avenges all these things, just as we already told you and warned you.

For we declare to you what the Lord has told us to say: We who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have died.

With a shout of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of God's trumpet, the Lord himself will come down from heaven, and the dead who belong to the Messiah will rise first.

Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

for you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

However, brothers, you are not in the darkness, in order that the Day of the Lord might surprise you like a thief.

For God has not destined us to receive wrath but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus, the Messiah,

Brothers, we ask you to show your appreciation for those who work among you, set an example for you in the Lord, and instruct you.

May the God of peace himself make you holy in every way. And may your whole being spirit, soul, and body remain blameless when our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, appears.

I order you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with you! Amen.

From: Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy. To: The church of the Thessalonians in union with God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

and to give us who are afflicted relief when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels

in blazing fire. He will take revenge on those who do not know God and on those who refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

That way the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified by you, and you by him, according to the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus, the Messiah.

Now we ask you, brothers, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and our gathering together to him,

not to be so quickly upset or alarmed when someone claims that we said, either by some spirit, conversation, or letter that the Day of the Lord has already come.

Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy with the breath of his mouth, rendering him powerless by the manifestation of his coming.

At all times we are obligated to thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God chose you to be the first fruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through faith in the truth.

With this purpose in mind, he called you through our proclamation of the gospel so that you would obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

May our Lord Jesus, the Messiah himself, and may God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope,

Finally, brothers, pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly, and that it may be honored the way it is among you.

But the Lord is faithful and will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.

May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of the Messiah.

In the name of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is living in idleness and not living according to the tradition that they received from us.

We order and encourage such people by the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.

Now may the Lord of peace give you his peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with all of you.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with all of you. Amen.

To: Timothy, my genuine child in the faith. May grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Messiah Jesus, our Lord, be yours!

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

and the grace of our Lord overflowed toward me, along with the faith and love that are in the Messiah Jesus.

By common confession, the secret of our godly worship is great: In flesh was he revealed to sight, kept righteous by the Spirit's might, adored by angels singing. To nations was he manifest, believing souls found peace and rest, our Lord in heaven reigning!

If anyone teaches false doctrine and refuses to agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and godly teaching,

to keep these commands stainlessly and blamelessly until the appearance of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

At the right time, he will make him known. God is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.

To: Timothy, my dear child. May grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Messiah Jesus our Lord be yours!

Therefore, never be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me, his prisoner. Instead, by God's power, join me in suffering for the sake of the gospel.

May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, for he often took care of me and was not ashamed that I was a prisoner.

May the Lord grant that he finds mercy on the day he comes again. You know very well how much he assisted me in Ephesus.

Think about what I am saying. The Lord will help you to understand all these things.

However, God's solid foundation still stands. It has this inscription on it: "The Lord knows those who belong to him," and "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from evil."

Flee from youthful passions. Instead, pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love, and peace together with those who call on the Lord with a pure heart.

A servant of the Lord must not argue. Instead, he must be kind to everyone, teachable, willing to suffer wrong,

and how I was persecuted and suffered in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.

The victor's crown of righteousness is now waiting for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on the day that he comes, and not only to me but also to all who eagerly wait for his appearing.

Alexander the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will pay him back for what he did.

However, the Lord stood by me and gave me strength so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the gentiles could hear it. I was rescued out of a lion's mouth.

The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will take me safely to his heavenly kingdom. Glory belongs to him forever and ever! Amen.

May the Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with all of you! Amen.

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

because I keep hearing about your love for all the saints and the faith that you have in the Lord Jesus.
