'Yours' in the Bible

And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

But he answered his father, "Listen! All these years I've worked like a slave for you. I've never disobeyed a command of yours. Yet you've never given me so much as a young goat for a festival so I could celebrate with my friends.

But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your assets with prostitutes, you slaughtered the fattened calf for him.’

"We are descendants of Abraham," they answered, "and have never at any time been in slavery to any one. What do those words of yours mean, 'You shall become free'?"

Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours.

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

I have revealed Your nameto the men You gave Me from the world.They were Yours, You gave them to Me,and they have kept Your word.

Now [at last] they know [with confident assurance] that all You have given Me is from You [it is really and truly Yours].

I pray for them.I am not praying for the worldbut for those You have given Me,because they are Yours.

Everything I have is Yours,and everything You have is Mine,and I have been glorified in them.

Jesus replied, "If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours? You follow me!"

and he said unto them, 'It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority;

Wasn’t it yours while you possessed it? And after it was sold, wasn’t it at your disposal? Why is it that you planned this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God!”

Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.

that is, to be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.

You who give teaching to others, do you give it to yourself? you who say that a man may not take what is not his, do you take what is not yours?

You who say that a man may not be untrue to his wife, are you true to yours? you who are a hater of images, do you do wrong to the house of God?

Therefore do not let the boon which is yours in common be exposed to reproach.

Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

Therefore let no man glory 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 to come; all are yours;

It is not our feelings to you which are narrow, but yours to us.

Now I am glad, not that you had sorrow, but that your sorrow was the cause of a change of heart; for yours was a holy sorrow so that you might undergo no loss by us in anything.

For you see what care was produced in you by this very sorrow of yours before God, what clearing of yourselves, what wrath against sin, what fear, what desire, what serious purpose, what punishment. In everything you have made it clear that you are free from sin in this business.

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

You learned it from [our representative] Epaphras, our beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf

From: Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy. To: The church of the Thessalonians in union with God the Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah. May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

For this reason let me remind you to rekindle God's gift which is yours through the laying on of my hands.

To: Titus, a genuine child in the faith that we share. May grace and peace from God the Father and the Messiah, Jesus our Savior, be yours!

For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they will keep you from being useless or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

From John to the seven churches in Asia. May grace and peace be yours from the one who is, who was, and who is coming, from the seven spirits who are in front of his throne,

Wake up, and strengthen and reaffirm what remains [of your faithful commitment to Me], which is about to die; for I have not found [any of] your deeds completed in the sight of My God or meeting His requirements.
