'Yourselves' in the Bible

And say not to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; because I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children for Abraham.

Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away.

But make a store for yourselves in heaven, where it will not be turned to dust and where thieves do not come in to take it away:

But Jesus said to them, There is no need for them to go away; give them food yourselves.

And in answer he said to them, Why do you, yourselves, go against the word of God on account of the teaching which has been handed down to you?

And Jesus, seeing it, said, O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you have no bread?

But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you go about land and sea to get one disciple and, having him, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

So that you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the sons of those who put the prophets to death.

But the wise made answer, saying, There may not be enough for us and you; it would be better for you to go to the traders and get oil for yourselves.

And he said to them, Come away by yourselves to a quiet place, and take a rest for a time. Because there were a great number coming and going, and they had no time even for food.

But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them?

And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard?

Salt is good; but if the taste goes from it, how will you make it salt again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.

Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham.

Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged: do not give punishment to others, and you will not get punishment yourselves: make others free, and you will be made free:

But he said, Give them food yourselves. And they said, We have only five cakes of bread and two fishes, if we do not go and get food for all these people.

And he said, A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for while other men are crushed under the weight of the rules you make for them, you yourselves do not put so much as one finger to them.

A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you did not go in yourselves, and you got in the way of those who were going in.

And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has.

Give what property you have in exchange for money, and give the money to the poor; make for yourselves money-bags which will not get old, wealth stored up in heaven which will be yours for ever, where thieves will not come nor worms put it to destruction.

There will be weeping and cries of sorrow when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are shut outside.

And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the eternal resting-places.

Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.

But give attention to yourselves, for fear that your hearts become over-full of the pleasures of food and wine, and the cares of this life, and that day may come on you suddenly, and take you as in a net:

And he took a cup and, having given praise, he said, Make division of this among yourselves;

And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up, and give yourselves to prayer, so that you may not be put to the test.

But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.

You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.

You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and let him be judged by your law. But the Jews said to him, We have no right to put any man to death.

So when the chief priests and the police saw him they gave a loud cry, To the cross! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and put him on the cross: I see no crime in him.

Men of Israel, give ear to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man who had the approval of God, as was made clear to you by the great works and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves have knowledge,

And he said to them, You yourselves have knowledge that it is against the law for a man who is a Jew to be in the company of one who is of another nation; but God has made it clear to me that no man may be named common or unclean:

That word you yourselves have knowledge of, which was made public through all Judaea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism of which John was the preacher,

To keep from things offered to false gods, and from blood, and from things put to death in ways which are against the law, and from the evil desires of the body; if you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. May you be happy.

But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things.

And when they had come, he said to them, You yourselves have seen what my life has been like all the time from the day when I first came into Asia,

Give attention to yourselves, and to all the flock which the Holy Spirit has given into your care, to give food to the church of God, for which he gave his blood.

And from among yourselves will come men who will give wrong teaching, turning away the disciples after them.

You yourselves have seen that with these hands I got what was necessary for me and those who were with me.

Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.

But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;

Be kind to one another with a brother's love, putting others before yourselves in honour;

Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.

So put yourselves under the authority, not for fear of wrath, but because you have the knowledge of what is right.

And in place of feeling sorrow, you are pleased with yourselves, so that he who has done this thing has not been sent away from among you.

So far from doing this, you yourselves do wrong and take your brothers' property.

Or are you not conscious that your body is a house for the Holy Spirit which is in you, and which has been given to you by God? and you are not the owners of yourselves;

Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.

Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?

Be awake to righteousness and keep yourselves from sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I say this to put you to shame.

For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.

That you put yourselves under such, and under everyone who is helping the Lord's work.

You yourselves are our letter, whose writing is in our heart, open for every man's reading and knowledge;

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.

For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all;

For you put up with the foolish gladly, being wise yourselves.

Make a test of yourselves, if you are in the faith; make certain of yourselves. Or are you not conscious in yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are truly Christ's?

Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.

Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God:

Letting yourselves be ruled by one another in the fear of Christ.

So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

If you were made free, by your death with Christ, from the rules of the world, why do you put yourselves under the authority of orders

As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

Give yourselves to prayer at all times, keeping watch with praise;

For you yourselves, brothers, are conscious that our coming among you was not without effect:

For the purpose of God for you is this: that you may be holy, and may keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh;

For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

And have a high opinion of them in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

For you yourselves are used to taking us as your example, because our life among you was ruled by order,

Keep in mind those who are in chains, as if you were chained with them, and those who are in trouble, as being yourselves in the body.

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.

Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him.

Come now, you men of wealth, give yourselves to weeping and crying because of the bitter troubles which are coming to you.

My loved ones, I make this request with all my heart, that, as those for whom this world is a strange country, you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh which make war against the soul;

So that as Jesus was put to death in the flesh, do you yourselves be of the same mind; for the death of the flesh puts an end to sin;

Not as lords over God's heritage, but making yourselves examples to the flock.

And in the same way, let the younger men be ruled by the older ones. Let all of you put away pride and make yourselves ready to be servants: for God is a hater of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low.

For this cause make yourselves low under the strong hand of God, so that when the time comes you may be lifted up;

My little children, keep yourselves from false gods.

Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward.

But you, my loved ones, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and making prayers in the Holy Spirit,

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for life eternal through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.
