'Thus' in the Bible

And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

and the rest, some indeed upon boards, and some upon certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe unto the land.

Our lives having been thus preserved, we discovered that the island was called Malta.

where, having found brethren, we were called upon to remain with them seven days, and thus to Rome we came;

I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that often I have planned to come to you (and have been prevented so far) so that I may obtain some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob [pagan] temples [of valuable idols and offerings]?

But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? God is not wrong to inflict His wrath [on us], is He? (I am speaking in purely human terms.)

Thus it stands written, "There is not one righteous man.

And in this same way David speaks of the blessing on the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

He received the sign of circumcision, a seal or confirmation of the righteousness which he had by faith while [he was still] uncircumcised—this was so that he would be the [spiritual] father of all who believe without being circumcised—so that righteousness would be credited to them,

Therefore, [inheriting] the promise depends entirely on faith [that is, confident trust in the unseen God], in order that it may be given as an act of grace [His unmerited favor and mercy], so that the promise will be [legally] guaranteed to all the descendants [of Abraham]—not only for those [Jewish believers] who keep the Law, but also for those [Gentile believers] who share the faith of Abraham, who is the [spiritual] father of us all—

so that the promise should be made sure to all Abraham's true descendants; not merely to those who are righteous through the Law, but to those who are righteous through a faith like that of Abraham. Thus in the sight of God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and makes reference to things that do not exist, as though they did, Abraham is the forefather of all of us. As it is written, "I have appointed you to be the forefather of many nations."

because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin;

Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Spirit Himself testifies and confirms together with our spirit [assuring us] that we [believers] are children of God.

And those whom He predestined, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified [declared free of the guilt of sin]; and those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity].

For the words are the language of promise and run thus, "About this time next year I will come, and Sarah shall have a son."

For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing I have raised thee up from amongst men, that I might thus shew in thee my power, and so that my name should be declared in all the earth.

Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

And what if He has done so to make known the riches of His glory to the objects of His mercy, which He has prepared beforehand for glory,

and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: 'Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down?

For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation.

Thus, then, in the present time also there has been a remnant according to election of grace.

How then does the matter stand? It stands thus. That which Israel are in earnest pursuit of, they have not obtained; but God's chosen servants have obtained it, and the rest have become hardened.

in the hope of somehow making my fellow countrymen jealous [by stirring them up so that they will seek the truth] and perhaps save some of them.

and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,“The Deliverer will come from Zion,He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”

thus we, being many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of the other.

So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who thus resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves.

For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.

Habitually therefore give one another a friendly reception, just as Christ also has received you, and thus promote the glory of God.

and thus the Gentiles glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "Because of this I will confess you among the Gentiles, and I will sing praises to your name."

For I will not [even] presume to speak of anything except what Christ has done through me [as an instrument in His hands], resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles [to the gospel], by word and deed,

And thus I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build on another man’s foundation;

Your obedience is known to all and thus I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.

Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed in your experience,

But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God [revealing His plan of salvation], and righteousness [making us acceptable to God], and sanctification [making us holy and setting us apart for God], and redemption [providing our ransom from the penalty for sin],

And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom [using clever rhetoric], but [they were delivered] in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit [operating through me] and of [His] power [stirring the minds of the listeners and persuading them],

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.

Thus let a person consider us as servants of Christ and stewards of God's mysteries.

I speak to you to put you to shame. Thus there is not a wise person among you, not even one, who shall be able to decide between his brethren!

Thus much in the way of concession, not of command.

for I wish all men to be even as I myself am; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus.

if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath called each -- so let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies do I direct:

I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that it is good for a man that the matter be thus: --

Thus much I say in your own interest; not to lay a trap for you, but to help towards what is becoming, and enable you to wait on the Lord without distraction.

But if anyone thinks he is behaving dishonorably concerning his virgin, if she is past her prime and it ought to be thus, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin. Let them marry.

But she is happier if she remains thus, according to my opinion--and I think I have the Spirit of God.

and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience -- in regard to Christ ye sin;

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.

Know ye not that they who run in the race-course run all, but one receives the prize? Thus run in order that ye may obtain.

And everyone who competes exercises self-control in all [things]. Thus those [do so] in order that they may receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable [one].

I, therefore, thus run, not as uncertainly, thus I fight, as not beating air;

And all [of them] were baptized into Moses [into his safekeeping as their leader] in the cloud and in the sea;

Do we [really] provoke the Lord to jealousy [when we eat food sacrificed to handmade “gods” at pagan feasts]? Are we [spiritually] stronger than He? [Certainly not! He knows that the idols are nothing. But we deeply offend Him.]

For just as the woman [is] from the man, thus also the man [is] through the woman. But all [things] [are] from God.

But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

For just as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, [although they] are many, are one body, thus also Christ.

Thus also ye with the tongue, unless ye give a distinct speech, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking to the air.

Thus ye also, since ye are desirous of spirits, seek that ye may abound for the edification of the assembly.

It is written in the law, By people of other tongues, and by strange lips, will I speak to this people; and neither thus will they hear me, saith the Lord.

Therefore, [unknown] tongues are [meant] for a [supernatural] sign, not to believers but to unbelievers [who might be receptive]; while prophecy [foretelling the future, speaking a new message from God to the people] is not for unbelievers but for believers.

And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.

For [in this way] you can all prophesy one by one, so that everyone may be instructed and everyone may be encouraged;

Whether, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have believed.

For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive.

Wake from this drunken fit; live righteous lives, and cease to sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak thus in order to move you to shame.

Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.

Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.

For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, thus through Christ our comfort overflows also.

while you join in helping us by your prayers. Then thanks will be given by many persons on our behalf for the gracious gift [of deliverance] granted to us through the prayers of many [believers].

When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

So physical death is [actively] at work in us, but [spiritual] life [is actively at work] in you.

for we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises]—

Thus we are full of courage and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

So that we henceforth know no one according to flesh; but if even we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know him thus no longer.

Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that could defile the body and the spirit, and thus accomplish holiness out of reverence for God.

For if I have boasted anything to him about you, I have not been put to shame, but as I have spoken everything to you in truth, thus also our boasting to Titus {has proven to be true}.

Thus we urged Titus that, just as he had previously begun this work, so also he should complete this act of kindness for you.

So now also complete the doing [of it], in order that just as [you have] the eagerness to want [to do it], thus also [you may] complete [it] from [what you] have.

At the present time, your abundance will meet their need, so that one day their abundance may also meet your need, and thus there may be equality,

I thought it necessary therefore to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessing, that this may be ready thus as blessing, and not as got out of you.

You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous, and this [generosity, administered] through us is producing thanksgiving to God [from those who benefit].

This one -- let him reckon thus: that such as we are in word, through letters, being absent, such also, being present, we are in deed.

In what respect, therefore, have you been worse dealt with than other Churches, except that I myself never hung as a dead weight upon you? Forgive the injustice I thus did you!

For this reason I write thus while absent, that when present I may not have to act severely in the exercise of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for pulling down.

I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,

I went up [to Jerusalem] because of a [divine] revelation, and I put before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles. But I did so in private before those of reputation, for fear that I might be running or had run [the course of my ministry] in vain.

Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, [as conformity to God’s will and purpose—so it is with you also].

Our freedom has been thus purchased in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing belonging to Abraham may come upon the nations, so that through faith we may receive the promised Spirit.

Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith.

in order to redeem those who were under the Law, and thus to adopt them as his children.

Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfil the law of the Christ.

He rendered the Law inoperative, along with its commandments and regulations, thus creating in himself one new humanity from the two, thereby making peace,

thus effecting peace, and to reconcile Jews and Gentiles in one body to God, by means of His cross--slaying by it their mutual enmity.

For this reason [because I preach that you and believing Jews are joint heirs] I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles—

and thus to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

But ye have not thus learnt the Christ,

But everything can be tested by the light and thus be shown in its true colors; for whatever shines of itself is light.
