'Lord' in the Bible

He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God.

for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.

For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

For it is written,“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me,And every tongue shall give praise to God.”

I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

And again,“Praise the Lord all you Gentiles,And let all the peoples praise Him.”

Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.

Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet those of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, workers in the Lord. Greet Persis the beloved, who has worked hard in the Lord.

Greet Rufus, a choice man in the Lord, also his mother and mine.

For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

I, Tertius, who write this letter, greet you in the Lord.

[The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.]

To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

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

so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.

so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;

For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.

and again, “The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless.”

For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord.

Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God.

For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those who are arrogant but their power.

In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.

Now God has not only raised the Lord, but will also raise us up through His power.

But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband

But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches.

For he who was called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lord’s freedman; likewise he who was called while free, is Christ’s slave.

Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.

A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband is dead, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel.

Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we?

However, in the Lord, neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;

Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.

In the Law it is written, “By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, and even so they will not listen to Me,” says the Lord.

I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

For I do not wish to see you now just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits.

The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be accursed. Maranatha.

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

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

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

just as you also partially did understand us, that we are your reason to be proud as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

Not that we lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm.

Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,

but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus’ sake.

knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you.

Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord—

we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.

“Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord.“And do not touch what is unclean;And I will welcome you.

“And I will be a father to you,And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,”Says the Lord Almighty.

and this, not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

and not only this, but he has also been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work, which is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our readiness,

for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be put to shame,

But he who boasts is to boast in the Lord.

For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

What I am saying, I am not saying as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.

Boasting is necessary, though it is not profitable; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me.

For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

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

I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
