'Things' in the Bible

but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,

but God has revealed to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God.

But we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God:

which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual things by spiritual means.

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know them because they are spiritually discerned;

but the spiritual discerns all things, and he is discerned of no one.

So that let no one boast in men; for all things are yours.

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours;

So that do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each have his praise from God.

Now these things, brethren, I have transferred, in their application, to myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye may learn in us the lesson of not letting your thoughts go above what is written, that ye may not be puffed up one for such a one against another.

Not as chiding do I write these things to you, but as my beloved children I admonish you.

If then ye have judgments as to things of this life, set those to judge who are little esteemed in the assembly.

And these things were some of you; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

All things are lawful to me, but all things do not profit; all things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

But concerning the things of which ye have written to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman;

But I wish you to be without care. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;

but he that has married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife.

There is a difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that has married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.

But concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

concerning then the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God save one.

yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscience, he being weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idol?

Do I speak these things as a man, or does not the law also say these things?

If we have sown to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?

If others partake of this right over you, should not rather we? But we have not used this right, but we bear all things, that we may put no hindrance in the way of the glad tidings of the Christ.

Do ye not know that they who labour at sacred things eat of the offerings offered in the temple; they that attend at the altar partake with the altar?

But I have used none of these things. Now I have not written these things that it should be thus in my case; for it were good for me rather to die than that any one should make vain my boast.

I became to the weak, as weak, in order that I might gain the weak. To all I have become all things, in order that at all events I might save some.

And I do all things for the sake of the glad tidings, that I may be fellow-partaker with them.

But every one that contends for a prize is temperate in all things: they then indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

But these things happened as types of us, that we should not be lusters after evil things, as they also lusted.

Now all these things happened to them as types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

All things are lawful, but all are not profitable; all things are lawful, but all do not edify.

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatever ye do, do all things to God's glory.

Even as I also please all in all things; not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

Now I praise you, that in all things ye are mindful of me; and that as I have directed you, ye keep the directions.

For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman, but all things of God.

If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.

and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.

But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

And now abide faith, hope, love; these three things; and the greater of these is love.

Even lifeless things giving a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they give not distinction to the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

What is it then, brethren? whenever ye come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification.

If any one thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognise the things that I write to you, that it is the Lord's commandment.

But let all things be done comelily and with order.

For he has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, it is evident that it is except him who put all things in subjection to him.

But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)

Let all things ye do be done in love.

For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,

to the one an odour from death unto death, but to the others an odour from life unto life; and who is sufficient for these things?

But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.

For all things are for your sakes, that the grace abounding through the many may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen are for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.

For we must all be manifested before the judgment-seat of the Christ, that each may receive the things done in the body, according to those he has done, whether it be good or evil.

So if any one be in Christ, there is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new:

and all things are of the God who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and given to us the ministry of that reconciliation:

as grieved, but always rejoicing; as poor, but enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

Because if I boasted to him anything about you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken to you all things in truth, so also our boasting to Titus has been the truth;

for we provide for things honest, not only before the Lord, but also before men.

And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved to be of diligent zeal in many things, and now more diligently zealous through the great confidence he has as to you.

to announce the glad tidings to that which is beyond you, not to be boasting in another's rule of things made ready to hand.

But if I am a simple person in speech, yet not in knowledge, but in everything making the truth manifest in all things to you.

Besides those things that are without, the crowd of cares pressing on me daily, the burden of all the assemblies.

If it is needful to boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity.

that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable things said which it is not allowed to man to utter.

Ye have long been supposing that we excuse ourselves to you: we speak before God in Christ; and all things, beloved, for your building up.

On this account I write these things being absent, that being present I may not use severity according to the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for overthrowing.

For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.

Have ye suffered so many things in vain, if indeed also in vain?

For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them;

but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.

but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.

Which things have an allegorical sense; for these are two covenants: one from mount Sinai, gendering to bondage, which is Hagar.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;

envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.

meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.

Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teaches in all good things.

for the administration of the fulness of times; to head up all things in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth; in him,

in whom we have also obtained an inheritance, being marked out beforehand according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his own will,

and has put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the assembly,

and to enlighten all with the knowledge of what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things,

He that descended is the same who has also ascended up above all the heavens, that he might fill all things;

but, holding the truth in love, we may grow up to him in all things, who is the head, the Christ:

Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say.

giving thanks at all times for all things to him who is God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

that he might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless.

And, masters, do the same things towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that both their and your Master is in heaven, and there is no acceptance of persons with him.

For this reason take to you the panoply of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having accomplished all things, to stand.

But in order that ye also may know what concerns me, how I am getting on, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make all things known to you;

that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day,

Do all things without murmurings and reasonings,

For all seek their own things, not the things of Jesus Christ.

For the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord: to write the same things to you, to me is not irksome, and for you safe.

but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.

But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ;

Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,
