'Person' in the Bible
The person who has accepted his testimony has acknowledged that God is truthful.
The woman told him, "I know that the Anointed One is coming, who is being called "the Messiah'. When that person comes, he will explain everything."
In this respect the saying is true: "One person sows, and another person harvests.'
This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat it and not die.
The person who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
"Surely our Law does not condemn a person without first hearing from him and finding out what he is doing, does it?"
When they persisted in questioning him, he straightened up and told them, "Let the person among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."
Jesus told him, "You have seen him. He is the person who is talking with you."
"Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the person who doesn't enter the sheepfold through the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a bandit.
Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The person who believes in me, even though he dies, will live.
Jesus replied to the crowd, "The light is among you only for a short time. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. The person who walks in the darkness is in the darkness and does not know where he is going.
"Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me?" Jesus asked him. "The person who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, "Show us the Father'?
The person who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I, too, will love him and reveal myself to him."
Unless a person abides in me, he is thrown away like a pruned branch and dries up. People gather such branches, throw them into a fire, and they are burned up.
The person who hates me also hates my Father.
Caiaphas was the person who had advised the Jews that it was better to have one man die for the people.
But you have a custom that I release one person for you at Passover. Do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?"
"The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to everything he tells you. Any person who will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.'
Therefore, you have no excuse every one of you who judges. For when you pass judgment on another person, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, practice the very same things.
For he will repay everyone according to what that person has done:
For a person is not a Jew because of his appearance, nor is circumcision something just external and physical.
No, a person is a Jew inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, brought about by the Spirit, not by a written law. That person's praise will come from God, not from people.
As it is written, "Not even one person is righteous.
All have turned away. They have become completely worthless. No one shows kindness, not even one person!
For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the actions prescribed by the Law.
Likewise, David also speaks of the blessedness of the person whom God regards as righteous apart from actions:
How blessed is the person whose sins the Lord will never charge against him!"
For it is rare for anyone to die for a righteous person, though somebody might be brave enough to die for a good person.
For the person who has died has been freed from sin.
Don't you realize, brothers for I am speaking to people who know the Law that the Law can press its claims over a person only as long as he is alive?
In the same way, my brothers, through the Messiah's body you also died as far as the Law is concerned, so that you may belong to another person, the one who was raised from the dead, and may bear fruit for God.
For he says to Moses, "I will be merciful to the person I want to be merciful to, and I will be kind to the person I want to be kind to."
For Moses writes about the righteousness that comes from the Law as follows: "The person who obeys these things will find life by them."
Every person must be subject to the governing authorities, for no authority exists except by God's permission. The existing authorities have been established by God,
One person believes that he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables.
The person who eats any kind of food must not ridicule the person who does not eat them, and the person who does not eat certain foods must not criticize the person who eats them, for God has accepted him.
One person decides in favor of one day over another, while another person decides that all days are the same. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind:
I know and have been persuaded by the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in and of itself, but it is unclean to a person who thinks it is unclean.
For if your brother is being hurt by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not destroy the person for whom the Messiah died by what you eat.
For the person who serves the Messiah in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people.
Do not destroy God's action for the sake of food. Everything is clean, but it is wrong to make another person stumble because of what you eat.
As for the faith you do have, have it as your own conviction before God. How blessed is the person who has no reason to condemn himself because of what he approves!
But the person who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not act in faith; and anything that is not done in faith is sin.
Where is the wise person? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? God has turned the wisdom of the world into nonsense, hasn't he?
Therefore, as it is written, "The person who boasts must boast in the Lord."
A person who isn't spiritual doesn't accept the things of God's Spirit, for they are nonsense to him. He can't understand them because they are spiritually evaluated.
The spiritual person evaluates everything but is subject to no one else's evaluation.
For when one person says, "I follow Paul," and another person says, "I follow Apollos," you're following your own human nature, aren't you?
As an expert builder using the grace that God gave me, I laid the foundation, and someone else is building on it. But each person must be careful how he builds on it.
Whether a person builds on this foundation with gold, silver, expensive stones, wood, hay, or straw,
the workmanship of each person will become evident, for the day of judgment will show what it is, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's action.
If what a person has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward.
Therefore, stop judging prematurely, before the Lord comes, for he will bring to light what is now hidden in darkness and reveal the motives of our hearts. Then each person will receive his praise from God.
Brothers, I have applied all this to Apollos and myself for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what the Scriptures say. Then you will stop boasting about one person at the expense of another.
I say this to make you feel ashamed. Has it come to this, that there is not one person among you who is wise enough to settle disagreements between brothers?
You know that the person who unites himself with a prostitute becomes one body with her, don't you? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."
But the person who unites himself with the Lord becomes one spirit with him.
Keep on running away from sexual immorality. Any other sin that a person commits is outside his body, but the person who sins sexually sins against his own body.
I would like everyone to be unmarried, like I am. However, each person has a special gift from God, one this and another that.
For the slave who has been called to belong to the Lord is the Lord's free person. In the same way, the free person who has been called is the Messiah's slave.
For as you eat, each of you rushes to eat his own supper, and one person goes hungry while another gets drunk.
A person must examine himself and then eat the bread and drink from the cup,
To each person has been given the ability to manifest the Spirit for the common good.
But one and the same Spirit produces all these results and gives what he wants to each person.
For the person who speaks in a foreign language is not actually speaking to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands him, because he is talking about secrets by the Spirit.
But the person who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding, encouragement, and comfort.
The person who speaks in a foreign language builds himself up, but the person who prophesies builds up the church.
Now I wish that all of you could speak in foreign languages, but especially that you could prophesy. The person who prophesies is more important than the person who speaks in a foreign language, unless he interprets it so that the church may be built up.
In the same way, lifeless instruments like the flute or harp produce sounds. But if there's no difference in the notes, how can a person tell what tune is being played?
Therefore, the person who speaks in a foreign language should pray for the ability to interpret it.
Otherwise, if you say a blessing with your spirit, how can an otherwise uneducated person say "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you're saying?
It's good for you to give thanks, but it does not build up the other person.
But if everyone is prophesying, when an unbeliever or an uneducated person comes in he will be convicted and examined by everything that's happening.
If a revelation is made to another person who is seated, the first person should be silent.
If anyone thinks he is a prophet or a spiritual person, he must acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command.
However, this will happen to each person in the proper order: first the Messiah, then those who belong to the Messiah when he comes.
After all, if I were to grieve you, who should make me happy but the person I am making sad?
But whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.
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.
As it is written, "The person who had much did not have too much, and the person who had little did not have too little."
Remember this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously.
"The person who boasts should boast in the Lord."
It is not the person who commends himself who is approved, but the person whom the Lord commends.
But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that person be condemned!
What we have told you in the past I am now telling you again: If anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that person be condemned!
yet we know that a person is not justified by doing what the Law requires, but rather by the faithfulness of Jesus the Messiah. We, too, have believed in the Messiah Jesus so that we might be justified by the faithfulness of the Messiah and not by doing what the Law requires, for no human being will be justified by doing what the Law requires.
But the Law has nothing to do with faith. Instead, "The person who keeps the commandments will have life in them."
Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. It doesn't say "descendants," referring to many, but "your descendant," referring to one person, who is the Messiah.
Because all of you are one in the Messiah Jesus, a person is no longer a Jew or a Greek, a slave or a free person, a male or a female.
Brothers, if a person is caught doing something wrong, those of you who are spiritual should restore that person gently. Watch out for yourself so that you are not tempted as well.
Each person must examine his own actions, and then he can boast about his own accomplishments and not about someone else.
The person who is taught the word should share all his goods with his teacher.
Stop being deceived; God is not to be ridiculed. A person harvests whatever he plants:
The person who sows through human means will harvest decay from human means, but the person who sows in the Spirit will harvest eternal life from the Spirit.
For you know very well that no immoral or impure person, or anyone who is greedy (that is, an idolater), has an inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God.
Let no one who delights in humility and the worship of angels cheat you out of the prize by rejoicing about what he has seen. Such a person is puffed up for no reason by his carnal mind.
In him there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free person. Instead, the Messiah is all and in all.
For the person who does what is wrong will be paid back for what he has done without favoritism.
Brothers, although we have been separated from you for a little while in person but not in heart we eagerly desire to see you again face to face.
For the secret of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the person now holding it back gets out of the way.
