'Us' in the Bible

Brethren, let it be allowed to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he has both died and been buried, and his monument is amongst us unto this day.

And Peter, looking stedfastly upon him with John, said, Look on us.

And Peter, seeing it, answered the people, Men of Israel, why are ye astonished at this? or why do ye gaze on us as if we had by our own power or piety made him to walk?

But that it be not further spread among the people, let us threaten them severely no longer to speak to any man in this name.

for as for us we cannot refrain from speaking of the things which we have seen and heard.

saying, We strictly enjoined you not to teach in this name: and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and purpose to bring upon us the blood of this man.

for we have heard him saying, This Jesus the Nazaraean shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses taught us.

But he that was wronging his neighbour thrust him away, saying, Who established thee ruler and judge over us?

This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received living oracles to give to us;

saying to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him.

But Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, beseeching him, Thou must not delay coming to us.

not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, us who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among the dead.

And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that he it is who was determinately appointed of God to be judge of living and dead.

and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.

If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was I to be able to forbid God?

that God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee.

for thus has the Lord enjoined us: I have set thee for a light of the nations, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end of the earth.

But the crowds, who saw what Paul had done, lifted up their voices in Lycaonian, saying, The gods, having made themselves like men, are come down to us.

And the heart-knowing God bore them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit as to us also,

and put no difference between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.

Inasmuch as we have heard that some who went out from amongst us have troubled you by words, upsetting your souls, saying that ye must be circumcised and keep the law; to whom we gave no commandment;

it seemed good to us, having arrived at a common judgment, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

But after certain days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city where we have announced the word of the Lord, and see how they are getting on.

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a certain Macedonian man, standing and beseeching him, and saying, Pass over into Macedonia and help us.

And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to announce to them the glad tidings.

And when she had been baptised and her house, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide there. And she constrained us.

And it came to pass as we were going to prayer that a certain female slave, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much profit to her masters by prophesying.

She, having followed Paul and us, cried saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who announce to you the way of salvation.

and announce customs which it is not lawful for us to receive nor practise, being Romans.

But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, us who are Romans, they have cast us into prison, and now they thrust us out secretly? no, indeed, but let them come themselves and bring us out.

that they may seek God; if indeed they might feel after him and find him, although he is not far from each one of us:

Now not only there is danger for us that our business come into discredit, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be counted for nothing, and that her greatness should be destroyed whom the whole of Asia and the world reveres.

These going before waited for us in Troas;

And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him on board, we came to Mitylene;

But when we had completed the days, we set out and took our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city. And kneeling down upon the shore we prayed.

and coming to us and taking the girdle of Paul, and having bound his own hands and feet, said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose this girdle is shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver him up into the hands of the Gentiles.

And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing with them a certain Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brethren gladly received us.

And on the morrow Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders came there.

But that I may not too much intrude on thy time, I beseech thee to hear us briefly in thy kindness.

And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye see this person, concerning whom all the multitude of the Jews applied to me both in Jerusalem and here, crying out against him that he ought not to live any longer.

And going on board a ship of Adramyttium about to navigate by the places along Asia, we set sail, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he made us go on board her.

And sailing slowly for many days, and having with difficulty got abreast of Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete abreast of Salmone;

But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,

And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm lying on us, in the end all hope of our being saved was taken away.

But the barbarians shewed us no common kindness; for, having kindled a fire, they took us all in because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold.

Now in the country surrounding that place were the lands belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius, who received us and gave us hospitality three days in a very friendly way.

who also honoured us with many honours, and on our leaving they made presents to us of what should minister to our wants.

And thence the brethren, having heard about us, came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Tres Tabernae, whom when Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage.

But we beg to hear of thee what thou thinkest, for as concerning this sect it is known to us that it is everywhere spoken against.

and not, according as we are injuriously charged, and according as some affirm that we say, Let us practise evil things, that good ones may come? whose judgment is just.

Therefore it is on the principle of faith, that it might be according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all,

and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us:

but God commends his love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.

in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be revealed to us.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who against us?

He who, yea, has not spared his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him grant us all things?

who is he that condemns? It is Christ who has died, but rather has been also raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

But in all these things we more than conquer through him that has loved us.

nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst the Jews, but also from amongst the nations?

And according as Esaias said before, Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and made like even as Gomorrha.

But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether it be prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

or service, let us occupy ourselves in service; or he that teaches, in teaching;

The night is far spent, and the day is near; let us cast away therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation.

For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.

So then each of us shall give an account concerning himself to God.

Let us no longer therefore judge one another; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block or a fall-trap before his brother.

So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another.

Let each one of us please his neighbour with a view to what is good, to edification.

For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;

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

Let a man so account of us as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of 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.

Already ye are filled; already ye have been enriched; ye have reigned without us; and I would that ye reigned, that we also might reign with you.

For I think that God has set us the apostles for the last, as appointed to death. For we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

so that let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

And God has both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up from among the dead by his power.

But if the unbeliever go away, let them go away; a brother or a sister is not bound in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

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.

But meat does not commend us to God; neither if we should not eat do we come short; nor if we should eat have we an advantage.

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

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Neither let us tempt the Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by serpents.

If, to speak after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if those that are dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.

but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.

who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God.

Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened to us in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond our power, so as to despair even of living.

who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;

ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us.

even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as ye are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
