'Lord' in the Bible

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

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

to the church of God that is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, and called to be saints, with all those in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.

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

so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree together, to end your divisions, and to be united by the same mind and purpose.

so that, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."

None of the rulers of this age understood it. If they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to advise him? But we have the mind of Christ.

What is Apollos, really? Or what is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, and each of us in the ministry the Lord gave us.

And again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile."

For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted because of this. The one who judges me is the Lord.

So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognition from God.

For this reason, I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and faithful son in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not only the talk of these arrogant people, but also their power.

When you gather together in the name of our Lord Jesus, and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of our Lord Jesus,

turn this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

Some of you once lived this way. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

"Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both." The body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Now God indeed raised the Lord and he will raise us by his power.

But the one united with the Lord is one spirit with him.

To the married I give this command -- not I, but the Lord -- a wife should not divorce a husband

To the rest I say -- I, not the Lord -- if a brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is happy to live with him, he should not divorce her.

Nevertheless, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each person, so must he live. I give this sort of direction in all the churches.

For the one who was called in the Lord as a slave is the Lord's freedman. In the same way, the one who was called as a free person is Christ's slave.

With regard to the question about people who have never married, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my opinion as one shown mercy by the Lord to be trustworthy.

And I want you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord.

and he is divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, to be holy both in body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world, how to please her husband.

I am saying this for your benefit, not to place a limitation on you, but so that without distraction you may give notable and constant service to the Lord.

A wife is bound as long as her husband is living. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes (only someone in the Lord).

yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we live, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we live.

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

In the same way the Lord commanded those who proclaim the gospel to receive their living by the gospel.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot take part in the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

Or are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we really stronger than he is?

In any case, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread,

For this reason, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

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

So I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

And there are different ministries, but the same Lord.

It is written in the law: "By people with strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, yet not even in this way will they listen to me," says the Lord.

Every day I am in danger of death! This is as sure as my boasting in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

So then, dear brothers and sisters, be firm. Do not be moved! Always be outstanding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

For I do not want to see you now in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows.

The churches in the province of Asia send greetings to you. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, with the church that meets in their house.

Let anyone who has no love for the Lord be accursed. Our Lord, come!

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

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.

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

I am confident in the Lord that you will accept no other view. But the one who is confusing you will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.

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

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.

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, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ.

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him,

In him the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

This was according to the eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,

I, therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live worthily of the calling with which you have been called,

one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

So I say this, and insist in the Lord, that you no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

for you were at one time darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light --

trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your hearts to the Lord,

always giving thanks to God the Father for each other in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord,

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

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but raise them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Obey with enthusiasm, as though serving the Lord and not people,

because you know that each person, whether slave or free, if he does something good, this will be rewarded by the Lord.
