'Man' in the Bible

And I have knowledge of such a man (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only),

How he was taken up into Paradise, and words came to his ears which may not be said, and which man is not able to say.

For if I had a desire to take credit to myself, it would not be foolish, for I would be saying what is true: but I will not, for fear that I might seem to any man more than he sees me to be, or has word from me that I am.

Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),

As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.

For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.

Now that no man gets righteousness by the law in the eyes of God, is clear; because, The upright will be living by faith.

Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.

Yes, I give witness again to every man who undergoes circumcision, that he will have to keep all the law.

Brothers, if a man is taken in any wrongdoing, you who are of the Spirit will put such a one right in a spirit of love; keeping watch on yourself, for fear that you yourself may be tested.

For if a man has an idea that he is something when he is nothing, he is tricked by himself.

But let every man make test of his work, and then will his cause for glory be in himself only, and not in his neighbour.

Because every man is responsible for his part of the work.

Be not tricked; God is not made sport of: for whatever seed a man puts in, that will he get back as grain.

From this time on let no man be a trouble to me; because my body is marked with the marks of Jesus.

Not by works, so that no man may take glory to himself.

Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace;

That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;

And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.

Being certain of this, that no man who gives way to the passions of the flesh, no unclean person, or one who has desire for the property of others, or who gives worship to images, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and God.

For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;

For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.

For I have no man of like mind who will truly have care for you.

Even though I myself might have faith in the flesh: if any other man has reason to have faith in the flesh, I have more:

Whom we are preaching; guiding and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that every man may be complete in Christ;

For this reason let no man be your judge in any question of food or drink or feast days or new moons or Sabbaths:

Let no man take your reward from you by consciously making little of himself and giving worship to angels; having his thoughts fixed on the things which he has seen, being foolishly lifted up in his natural mind,

Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,

And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;

Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all.

And for this cause we still give praise to God, that, when the word came to your ears through us, you took it, not as the word of man, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which has living power in you who have faith.

So that no man might be moved by these troubles; because you see that these things are part of God's purpose for us.

And that no man may make attempts to get the better of his brother in business: for the Lord is the judge in all these things, as we said to you before and gave witness.

Whoever, then, goes against this word, goes against not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and the revelation of the man of sin, the son of destruction,

And we did not take food from any man for nothing, but were working hard night and day not to be a trouble to any of you:

For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food.

And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.

We are conscious that the law is good, if a man makes a right use of it,

With the knowledge that the law is made, not for the upright man, but for those who have no respect for law and order, for evil men and sinners, for the unholy and those who have no religion, for those who put their fathers or mothers to death, for takers of life,

For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

In my opinion it is right for a woman not to be a teacher, or to have rule over a man, but to be quiet.

This is a true saying, A man desiring the position of a Bishop has a desire for a good work.

The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher;

(For if a man has not the art of ruling his house, how will he take care of the church of God?)

Let no woman be numbered among the widows who is under sixty years old, and only if she has been the wife of one man,

Do not put hands on any man without thought, and have no part in other men's sins: keep yourself clean.

If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion,

But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.

Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.

A fighting man, when he is with the army, keeps himself free from the business of this life so that he may be pleasing to him who has taken him into his army.

And if a man takes part in a competition he does not get the crown if he has not kept the rules.

If a man makes himself clean from these, he will be a vessel for honour, made holy, ready for the master's use, ready for every good work.

So that the man of God may be complete, trained and made ready for every good work.

For it is necessary for a Bishop to be a man of virtue, as God's servant; not pushing himself forward, not quickly moved to wrath or blows, not desiring profit for himself;

To say no evil of any man, not to be fighters, to give way to others, to be gentle in behaviour to all men.

But when the mercy of God our Saviour, and his love to man was seen,

A man whose opinions are not those of the church, after a first and second protest, is to be kept out of your society;

Send Zenas, the man of law, and Apollos on their journey with all care, so that they may be in need of nothing.

Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus:

But a certain writer has given his witness, saying, What is man, that you keep him in mind? what is the son of man, that you take him into account?

You put all things under his feet. For in making man the ruler over all things, God did not put anything outside his authority; though we do not see everything under him now.

And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house.

For the man who comes into his rest has had rest from his works, as God did from his.

And no man who is not given authority by God, as Aaron was, takes this honour for himself.

Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight.

But this man, who was not of their family, took the tenth from Abraham, and gave a blessing to him to whom God had given his undertaking.

For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.

As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.

Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.

And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small.

Because where there is a testament, there has to be the death of the man who made it.

For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?

A man who has gone against the law of Moses is put to death without pity on the word of two or three witnesses:

But will not the man by whom the Son of God has been crushed under foot, and the blood of the agreement with which he was washed clean has been taken as an unholy thing, and who has had no respect for the Spirit of grace, be judged bad enough for a very much worse punishment?

But the upright man will be living by his faith; and if he goes back, my soul will have no pleasure in him.

So that from one man, who was near to death, came children in number as the stars in heaven, or as the sand by the seaside, which may not be numbered.

By faith Moses, when he became a man, had no desire to be named the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

Let your desire be for peace with all men, and to be made holy, without which no man may see the Lord;

Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;

And that there may not be any evil liver, or any man without respect for God, like Esau, who let his birthright go for a plate of food.

And to Jesus by whom the new agreement has been made between God and man, and to the sign of the blood which says better things than Abel's blood.

So that we say with a good heart, The Lord is my helper; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.

Let it not seem to such a man that he will get anything from the Lord;

But the man of wealth, that he is made low; because like the flower of the grass he will come to his end.

For when the sun comes up with its burning heat, the grass gets dry and the grace of its form is gone with the falling flower; so the man of wealth comes to nothing in his ways.

There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.

Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test:

But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.

You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.

Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass;

But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.

If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value.

For if a man comes into your Synagogue in fair clothing and with a gold ring, and a poor man comes in with dirty clothing,

And you do honour to the man in fair clothing and say, Come here and take this good place; and you say to the poor man, Take up your position there, or be seated at my feet;
