'Lord' in the Bible

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

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

just as also you have partly understood us, that we are your source of pride just as you also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Now when I arrived in Troas to proclaim the gospel of Christ, even though the Lord had opened a door of opportunity for me,

but when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom.

And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, which is from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus' sake.

Therefore we are always full of courage, and we know that as long as we are alive here on earth we are absent from the Lord --

Thus we are full of courage and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we try to persuade people, but we are well known to God, and I hope we are well known to your consciences too.

Therefore "come out from their midst, and be separate," says the Lord, "and touch no unclean thing, and I will welcome you,

and I will be a father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters," says the All-Powerful Lord.

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

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that you by his poverty could become rich.

In addition, this brother has also been chosen by the churches as our traveling companion as we administer this generous gift to the glory of the Lord himself and to show our readiness to help.

For we are concerned about what is right not only before the Lord but also before men.

For if I boast somewhat more about our authority that the Lord gave us for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of doing so.

But the one who boasts must boast in the Lord.

For it is not the person who commends himself who is approved, but the person the Lord commends.

What I am saying with this boastful confidence I do not say the way the Lord would. Instead it is, as it were, foolishness.

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

It is necessary to go on boasting. Though it is not profitable, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.

I asked the Lord three times about this, that it would depart from me.

Because of this I am writing these things while absent, so that when I arrive I may not have to deal harshly with you by using my authority -- the Lord gave it to me for building up, 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.
