'Man' in the Bible

For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.

Is it not clear, my brothers (I am using an argument to those who have knowledge of the law), that the law has power over a man as long as he is living?

So if, while the husband is living, she is joined to another man, she will get the name of one who is untrue to her husband: but if the husband is dead, she is free from the law, so that she is not untrue, even if she takes another man.

You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his.

So then, it is not by the desire or by the attempt of man, but by the mercy of God.

So then, at his pleasure he has mercy on a man, and at his pleasure he makes the heart hard.

But, O man, who are you, to make answer against God? May the thing which is made say to him who made it, Why did you make me so?

For Moses says that the man who does the righteousness which is of the law will get life by it.

For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with the mouth he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation.

Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it;

Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.

One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food.

This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.

Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting.

I am conscious of this, and am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but for the man in whose opinion it is unclean, for him it is unclean.

Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another.

The faith which you have, have it to yourself before God. Happy is the man who is not judged by that to which he gives approval.

Where is the wise? where is he who has knowledge of the law? where is the man of this world who has a love of discussion? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

But as it says in the holy Writings, Things which the eye saw not, and which had not come to the ears or into the heart of man, such things as God has made ready for those who have love for him.

For who has knowledge of the things of a man but the spirit of the man which is in him? in the same way, no one has knowledge of the things of God but the Spirit of God.

For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.

In the measure of the grace given to me, I, as a wise master-builder, have put the base in position, and another goes on building on it. But let every man take care what he puts on it.

But on the base a man may put gold, silver, stones of great price, wood, dry grass, cut stems;

Let no man have a false idea. If any man seems to himself to be wise among you, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.

For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

That this man is to be handed over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may have forgiveness in the day of the Lord Jesus.

As for those who are outside, God is their judge. So put away the evil man from among you.

I say this to put you to shame. Is there not among you one wise man who may be able to give a decision between his brothers?

Have you not knowledge that evil-doers will have no part in the kingdom of God? Have no false ideas about this: no one who goes after the desires of the flesh, or gives worship to images, or is untrue when married, or is less than a man, or makes a wrong use of men,

Keep away from the desires of the flesh. Every sin which a man does is outside of the body; but he who goes after the desires of the flesh does evil to his body.

Now, as to the things in your letter to me: It is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman.

But because of the desires of the flesh, let every man have his wife, and every woman her husband.

It is my desire that all men might be even as I am. But every man has the power of his special way of life given him by God, one in this way and one in that.

Only, as the Lord has given to a man, and as is the purpose of God for him, so let him go on living. And these are my orders for all the churches.

If any man who is a Christian has had circumcision, let him keep so; and if any man who is a Christian has not had circumcision, let him make no change.

Let every man keep the position in which he has been placed by God.

For he who was a servant when he became a Christian is the Lord's free man; and he who was free when he became a Christian is the Lord's servant.

My brothers, let every man keep in that condition which is the purpose of God for him.

In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is.

But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord:

But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife.

But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin.

For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images?

Am I talking as a man? does not the law say the same?

But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.

And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.

You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.

Let a man give attention not only to what is good for himself, but equally to his neighbour's good.

Right and wrong, I say, not for you, but for the other man; for the fact that I am free is not dependent on another man's sense of right or wrong.

But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.

But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

For it is not right for a man to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man did not come from the woman, but the woman from the man.

And the man was not made for the woman, but the woman for the man.

But the woman is not separate from the man, and the man is not separate from the woman in the Lord.

For as the woman is from the man, so the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.

Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?

But if any man will not be ruled in this question, this is not our way of doing things, and it is not done in the churches of God.

But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.

For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.

If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

But to every man some form of the Spirit's working is given for the common good.

But all these are the operations of the one and the same Spirit, giving to every man separately as his pleasure is.

When I was a child, I made use of a child's language, I had a child's feelings and a child's thoughts: now that I am a man, I have put away the things of a child.

But if the sense of the voice is not clear to me, I am like a man from a strange country to him who is talking, and he will be the same to me.

For this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense.

For if you give a blessing with the spirit, how will the man who has no knowledge say, So be it, after your prayer, seeing that he has not taken in what you are saying?

For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge.

But if all are teaching as prophets, and a man without faith or knowledge comes in, he is tested by all, he is judged by all;

If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:

If any man seems to himself to be a prophet or to have the Spirit, let him take note of the things which I am writing to you, as being the word of the Lord.

But if any man is without knowledge, let him be so.

For as by man came death, so by man there is a coming back from the dead.

But every man in his right order: Christ the first-fruits; then those who are Christ's at his coming.

Foolish man, it is necessary for the seed which you put into the earth to undergo death in order that it may come to life again:

And so it is said, The first man Adam was a living soul. The last Adam is a life-giving spirit.

The first man is from the earth, and of the earth: the second man is from heaven.

Those who are of the earth are like the man who was from the earth: and those who are of heaven are like the one from heaven.

And in the same way as we have taken on us the image of the man from the earth, so we will take on us the image of the one from heaven.

For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life.

If any man has not love for the Lord, let him be cursed. Maran atha (our Lord comes).

Let it be enough for such a man to have undergone the punishment which the church put on him;

For which cause we do not give way to weariness; but though our outer man is getting feebler, our inner man is made new day by day.

For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.

So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new.

Let your hearts be open to us: we have done no man wrong, no man has been damaged by us, we have made no profit out of any man,

So though I sent you a letter, it was not only because of the man who did the wrong, or because of him to whom the wrong was done, but so that your true care for us might be made clear in the eyes of God.

For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.

And so that no man might be able to say anything against us in the business of this giving which has been put into our hands:

Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.

Give attention to the things which are before you. If any man seems to himself to be Christ's, let him keep in mind that we are as much Christ's as he is.

For the Lord's approval of a man is not dependent on his opinion of himself, but on the Lord's opinion of him.

And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.

As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.

You put up with a man if he makes servants of you, if he makes profit out of you, if he makes you prisoners, if he puts himself in a high place, if he gives you blows on the face.

I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.
