'Says' in the Bible

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

For he says to Moses: "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

For the scripture says to Pharaoh: "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may demonstrate my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth."

As he also says in Hosea: "I will call those who were not my people, 'My people,' and I will call her who was unloved, 'My beloved.'"

But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down)

For the scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame."

But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

But again I ask, didn't Israel understand? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; with a senseless nation I will provoke you to anger."

But about Israel he says, "All day long I held out my hands to this disobedient and stubborn people!"

God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew! Do you not know what the scripture says about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

And David says, "Let their table become a snare and trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them;

Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God's wrath, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will give praise to God."

And again it says: "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people."

And again Isaiah says, "The root of Jesse will come, and the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles, in him will the Gentiles hope."
