'Lord' in the Bible

He sent the message to the Israelites, proclaiming the good news of peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all.

“‘No, Lord!’ I said. ‘For nothing common or ritually unclean has ever entered my mouth!’

Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

Therefore, if God gave them the same gift that He also gave to us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, how could I possibly hinder God?”

But there were some of them, Cypriot and Cyrenian men, who came to Antioch and began speaking to the Hellenists, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus.

The Lord’s hand was with them, and a large number who believed turned to the Lord.

When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged all of them to remain true to the Lord with a firm resolve of the heart,

for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And large numbers of people were added to the Lord.

Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell. Striking Peter on the side, he woke him up and said, “Quick, get up!” Then the chains fell off his wrists.

Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from all that the Jewish people expected.”

Motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he explained to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Report these things to James and the brothers,” he said. Then he departed and went to a different place.

At once an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give the glory to God, and he became infected with worms and died.

As they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work I have called them to.”

and said, “You son of the Devil, full of all deceit and all fraud, enemy of all righteousness! Won’t you ever stop perverting the straight paths of the Lord?

Then the proconsul, seeing what happened, believed and was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.

The following Sabbath almost the whole town assembled to hear the message of the Lord.

For this is what the Lord has commanded us:I have made youa light for the Gentilesto bring salvationto the ends of the earth.”

When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the message of the Lord, and all who had been appointed to eternal life believed.

So the message of the Lord spread through the whole region.

So they stayed there for some time and spoke boldly in reliance on the Lord, who testified to the message of His grace by granting that signs and wonders be performed through them.

When they had appointed elders in every church and prayed with fasting, they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

On the contrary, we believe we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way they are.”

so the rest of humanitymay seek the Lord—even all the Gentileswho are called by My name,declares the Lord who does these things,

who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But Paul and Barnabas, along with many others, remained in Antioch teaching and proclaiming the message of the Lord.

After some time had passed, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s go back and visit the brothers in every town where we have preached the message of the Lord and see how they’re doing.”

Then Paul chose Silas and departed, after being commended to the grace of the Lord by the brothers.

A woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was spoken by Paul.

After she and her household were baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.

So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”

Then they spoke the message of the Lord to him along with everyone in his house.

The God who made the world and everything in it—He is Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in shrines made by hands.

Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed the Lord, along with his whole household. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.

Then the Lord said to Paul in a night vision, “Don’t be afraid, but keep on speaking and don’t be silent.

This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught the things about Jesus accurately, although he knew only John’s baptism.

When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

And this went on for two years, so that all the inhabitants of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the message about the Lord.

Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists attempted to pronounce the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I command you by the Jesus that Paul preaches!”

This became known to everyone who lived in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. Then fear fell on all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

serving the Lord with all humility, with tears, and with the trials that came to me through the plots of the Jews—

I testified to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.

But I count my life of no value to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace.

In every way I’ve shown you that by laboring like this, it is necessary to help the weak and to keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, for He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Then Paul replied, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

“I answered, ‘Who are You, Lord?’“He said to me, ‘I am Jesus the Nazarene, the One you are persecuting!’

“Then I said, ‘What should I do, Lord?’“And the Lord told me, ‘Get up and go into Damascus, and there you will be told about everything that is assigned for you to do.’

“But I said, ‘Lord, they know that in synagogue after synagogue I had those who believed in You imprisoned and beaten.

The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, “Have courage! For as you have testified about Me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”

“Then I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’“And the Lord replied: ‘I am Jesus, the One you are persecuting.

proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with full boldness and without hindrance.

concerning His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh

To all who are in Rome, loved by God, called as saints.Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

How joyful is the manthe Lord will never charge with sin!

but also for us. It will be credited to us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have now received this reconciliation through Him.

so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness, resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh, to the law of sin.

height or depth, or any other created thingwill have the power to separate usfrom the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!

for the Lord will execute His sentencecompletely and decisively on the earth.

And just as Isaiah predicted:If the Lord of Hosts had not left us offspring,we would have become like Sodom,and we would have been made like Gomorrah.

If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, since the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on Him.

For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

But all did not obey the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our message?

Lord, they have killed Your prophetsand torn down Your altars.I am the only one left,and they are trying to take my life!

For who has known the mind of the Lord?Or who has been His counselor?

Do not lack diligence; be fervent in spirit; serve the Lord.

Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for His wrath. For it is written: Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay, says the Lord.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no plans to satisfy the fleshly desires.

Who are you to criticize another’s household slave? Before his own Lord he stands or falls. And he will stand. For the Lord is able to make him stand.

Whoever observes the day, observes it for the honor of the Lord. Whoever eats, eats for the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; and whoever does not eat, it is for the Lord that he does not eat it, yet he thanks God.

If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

For it is written:As I live, says the Lord,every knee will bow to Me,and every tongue will give praise to God.

(I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. Still, to someone who considers a thing to be unclean, to that one it is unclean.)

so that you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with a united mind and voice.

And again:Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;all the peoples should praise Him!

Now I appeal to you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join with me in fervent prayers to God on my behalf.

So you should welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints and assist her in whatever matter she may require your help. For indeed she has been a benefactor of many—and of me also.

Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord.

Greet Herodion, my fellow countryman.Greet those who belong to the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who have worked hard in the Lord.Greet my dear friend Persis, who has worked very hard in the Lord.

Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord; also his mother—and mine.

for such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites. They deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting with smooth talk and flattering words.

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

I Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord.

[The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.]

To God’s church at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus and called as saints, with all those in every place who call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord—both their Lord and ours.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful; you were called by Him into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, that there be no divisions among you, and that you be united with the same understanding and the same conviction.

in order that, as it is written: The one who boasts must boast in the Lord.

None of the rulers of this age knew this wisdom, for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.

and again, The Lord knows that the reasonings of the wise are meaningless.

For I am not conscious of anything against myself, but I am not justified by this. The One who evaluates me is the Lord.

Therefore don’t judge anything prematurely, before the Lord comes, who will both bring to light what is hidden in darkness and reveal the intentions of the hearts. And then praise will come to each one from God.
