'People' in the Bible

From: Paul, an apostle of the Messiah Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother. To: God's church in Corinth, and to all the holy people throughout Achaia.

as you also help us by your prayers for us. Then many people will thank God on our behalf because of the favor shown us through the prayers of many.

To some people we are a deadly fragrance, while to others we are a living fragrance. Who is qualified for this?

At least we are not commercializing God's word like so many others. Instead, we speak with sincerity in the Messiah's name, like people who are sent from God and are accountable to God.

Are we beginning to recommend ourselves again? Unlike some people, we do not need letters of recommendation to you or from you, do we?

You are our letter, inscribed on our hearts, known and read by all people,

Now if the ministry of death that was inscribed in letters of stone came with such glory that the people of Israel could not gaze on Moses' face (because the glory was fading away from it),

not like Moses, who kept covering his face with a veil to keep the people of Israel from gazing at the end of what was fading away.

Indeed, everything is for your benefit, so that grace, extended through more and more people, may cause thanksgiving to increase to God’s glory.

Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we seek to persuade people. We are completely open before God, and I hope we are completely open to your consciences as well.

The love of the Messiah controls us, for we are convinced of this: that one person died for all people; therefore, all people have died.

He died for all people, so that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for the one who died and rose for them.

We endeavour to give people no cause for stumbling in anything, lest the work we are doing should fall into discredit.

as unknown [to the world], yet well-known [by God and His people]; as dying, yet we live; as punished, yet not killed;

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

With earnest entreaty they begged from us the favour of being allowed to share in the service now being rendered to God's people.

For it is not [intended] that others be relieved [of their responsibility] and that you be burdened [unfairly], but that there be equality [in sharing the burden]—

We intend to do what is right, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of people.

Now it is unnecessary for me to write to you about the offering [that is to be made] for the saints [in Jerusalem];

For I know how willing you are, and I boast about you to the people of Macedonia, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year, and your enthusiasm has stimulated most of them.

For the ministry of this service (offering) is not only supplying the needs of the saints (God’s people), but is also overflowing through many expressions of thanksgiving to God.

I beg you that when I am present I will not need to be bold with the confidence by which I plan to challenge certain people who think we are behaving in an unspiritual way.

Let such people realize that what we say by word in letters when we are absent, is the same as what we are in action when present.

But I will go on doing what I'm doing in order to deny an opportunity to those people who want an opportunity to be recognized as our equals in the work they are boasting about.

For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

Since many people boast in a fleshly way, I will do it, too.

For [because you] are wise, you put up with foolish people gladly!

On frequent journeys, I faceddangers from rivers,dangers from robbers,dangers from my own people,dangers from the Gentiles,dangers in the city,dangers in the open country,dangers on the sea,and dangers among false brothers;

In Damascus, the ruler under Aretas the king kept watch over the town of the people of Damascus, in order to take me:

All God’s people greet you.
