'Bless' in the Bible

bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

God, having raised up his servant, Jesus, sent him to you first, to bless you, in turning away everyone of you from your wickedness."

Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don't curse.

We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.

The cup of blessing which we bless, isn't it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn't it a sharing of the body of Christ?

Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn't know what you say?

saying, "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you."

With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.
