'Man' in the Bible

but Paul did not think it was right to take along the man who had deserted them in Pamphylia and who had not gone with them into the work.

Paul wanted this man to go with him, so he took him and had him circumcised because of the Jews who lived in that region, since everyone knew that Timothy's father was a Greek.

During the night Paul had a vision. A man from Macedonia was standing there and pleading with him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us!"

From one man he made every nation of humanity to live all over the earth, fixing the seasons of the year and the national boundaries within which they live,

because he has set a day when he is going to judge the world with justice through a man whom he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead."

Then he left that place and went to the home of a man named Titius Justus, who worshipped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue.

They said, "This man is persuading people to worship God in ways that are contrary to the Law."

Meanwhile, a Jew named Apollos arrived in Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and well versed in the Scriptures.

Then the man with the evil spirit jumped on them, got the better of them, and so violently overpowered all of them that they fled out of the house naked and bruised.

You also see and hear that, not only in Ephesus, but almost all over Asia, this man Paul has won over and taken away a large crowd by telling them that gods made by human hands are not gods at all.

A young man named Eutychus, who was sitting in a window, began to sink off into a deep sleep as Paul kept speaking longer and longer. Overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead.

They took the young man away alive and were greatly relieved.

He came to us, took Paul's belt, and tied his own feet and hands with it. Then he said, "The Holy Spirit says, "This is how the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem will tie up the man who owns this belt. Then they will hand him over to the gentiles.'"

yelling, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere to turn against our people, the Law, and this place. More than that, he has even brought Greeks into the Temple and desecrated this Holy Place."

"A certain Ananias, who was a devout man with respect to the Law and who was highly regarded by all the Jews living there,

When the centurion heard this, he went to the tribune and told him, "What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen!"

There was a great deal of shouting until some of the scribes who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and argued forcefully, "We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?"

Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, "Take this young man to the tribune, because he has something to tell him."

So the centurion took him, brought him to the tribune, and said, "The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you."

The tribune dismissed the young man and ordered him not to tell anyone that he had notified him.

This man had been seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I went with the guard and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen.

Since a plot against the man has been reported to me, I'm sending him to you at once, and I've also ordered his accusers to present their charges against him before you."

For we have found this man a perfect pest and an agitator among all Jews throughout the world. He is a ringleader in the sect of the Nazarenes

"Therefore," he said, "have your authorities come down with me and present their charges against him there, if there is anything wrong with the man."

Since they were staying there for several days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king. He said, "There is a man here who was left in prison by Felix.

I answered them that it was not the Roman custom to sentence a man to be punished until the accused met his accusers face to face and had an opportunity to defend himself against the charge.

So they came here with me, and the next day without any delay I sat down in the judge's seat and ordered the man to be brought in.

Agrippa told Festus, "I would like to hear the man." "Tomorrow," he said, "you will hear him."

Then Festus said, "King Agrippa and all you men who are present with us! You see this man about whom the whole Jewish nation petitioned me, both in Jerusalem and here, shouting that he ought not to live any longer.

As they were leaving, they began to say to each other, "This man hasn't been doing anything to deserve death or imprisonment."

Agrippa told Festus, "This man could have been set free if he hadn't appealed to the emperor."

When the people who lived there saw the snake hanging from his hand, they told one another, "This man must be a murderer! He may have escaped from the sea, but Justice won't let him live."

So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on those who practice these things and then do them yourself, do you think you will escape God's judgment?

So if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the requirements of the Law, his uncircumcision will be regarded as circumcision, won't it?

The man who is uncircumcised physically but who keeps the Law will condemn you who break the Law, even though you have the written Law and circumcision.

Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death resulted from sin, therefore everyone dies, because everyone has sinned.

But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah, been showered on many people!

Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned. For the sentence that followed one man's offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses.

For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man's offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus the Messiah!

So while her husband is living, she will be called an adulterer if she lives with another man. But if her husband dies, she is free from this Law, so that she is not an adulterer if she marries another man.

What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is infected by death?

On the contrary, who are you mere man that you are to talk back to God? Can an object that was molded say to the one who molded it, "Why did you make me like this?"

It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, and of a kind that is not found even among the gentiles. A man is actually living with his father's wife!

And you are being arrogant instead of being filled with grief and seeing to it that the man who did this is removed from among you.

Even though I am away from you physically, I am with you in spirit. I have already passed judgment on the man who did this, as though I were present with you.

turn this man over to Satan for the destruction of his body, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

God will judge outsiders. "Expel that wicked man."

Now about what you asked: "Is it advisable for a man not to marry?"

Because sexual immorality is so rampant, every man should have his own wife, and every woman should have her own husband.

In view of the present crisis, I think it is prudent for a man to stay as he is.

I want you to be free from concerns. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, that is, about how he can please the Lord.

But a married man is concerned about things of this world, that is, about how he can please his wife,

If a man thinks he is not behaving properly toward his virgin, and if his passion is so strong that he feels he ought to marry her, let him do what he wants; he isn't sinning. Let them get married.

However, if a man stands firm in his resolve, feels no necessity, and has made up his mind to keep her a virgin, he will be acting appropriately.

So then the man who marries the virgin acts appropriately, but the man who refrains from marriage does even better.

To the Jews I became like a Jew in order to win Jews. To those under the Law I became like a man under the Law, in order to win those under the Law (although I myself am not under the Law).

To those who do not have the Law, I became like a man who does not have the Law in order to win those who do not have the Law. However, I am not free from God's Law, but I'm subject to the Messiah's law.

Now I want you to realize that the Messiah is the head of every man, and man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of the Messiah.

Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head dishonors his head,

A man should not cover his head, because he exists as God's image and glory. But the woman is man's glory.

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;

and man was not created for woman, but woman for man.

In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man of woman.

For as woman came from man, so man comes through woman. But everything comes from God.

Nature itself teaches you neither that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, and reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up my childish ways.

For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also came through a man.

This, indeed, is what is written: "The first man, Adam, became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

The first man came from the dust of the earth; the second man came from heaven.

Those who are made of the dust are like the man from the dust; those who are heavenly are like the man who is from heaven.

Just as we have borne the likeness of the man who was made from dust, we will also bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

This punishment by the majority is severe enough for such a man.

So, even though I wrote to you, it wasn't because of the man who did the wrong or because of the man who was hurt. Instead, I wrote to you so that your devotion to us might be made perfectly clear to you before God.

I know a man who belongs to the Messiah. Fourteen years ago whether in his body or outside of his body, I do not know, but God knows that man was snatched away to the third heaven.

I know that this man whether in his body or outside of his body, I do not know, but God knows

I will boast about this man, but as for myself I will boast only about my weaknesses.

From: Paul an apostle not sent from men or by a man, but by Jesus the Messiah, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead

For I did not receive it from a man, nor was I taught it, but it was revealed to me by Jesus the Messiah.

The only thing they kept hearing was this: "The man who used to persecute us is now proclaiming the faith he once tried to destroy!"

In the same way, husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself.

"That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh."

But each individual man among you must love his wife as he loves himself; and may the wife fear her husband.

Instead, poured out in emptiness, a servant's form did he possess, a mortal man becoming. In human form he chose to be,

Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for it will not come unless the rebellion takes place first and the man of sin, who is destined for destruction, is revealed.

In the past I was a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man. But I received mercy because I acted ignorantly in my unbelief,

Moreover, in the area of teaching, I am not allowing a woman to instigate conflict toward a man. Instead, she is to remain calm.

For if a man does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?

Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him as if he were your father. Treat younger men like brothers,

But you, man of God, must flee from all these things. Instead, you must pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.

so that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good action.

I prefer to make my appeal on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an old man and now a prisoner of the Messiah Jesus,

Instead, someone has declared somewhere, "What is man that you should remember him, or the son of man that you should care for him?

As a mortal man, he offered up prayers and appeals with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his devotion to God.

Now this man Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham and blessed him when he was returning from defeating the kings.

Just look at how great this man was! Even Abraham the patriarch himself gave him a tenth of what he had captured!

But this man, whose descent is not traced from them, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the man who had received the promises.

Abraham was as good as dead, yet from this one man came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

He is a double-minded man, unstable in all he undertakes.

How blessed is the man who endures temptation! When he has passed the test, he will receive the victor's crown of life that God has promised to those who keep on loving him.

For if anyone hears the word but is not obedient to it, he is like a man who looks at himself in a mirror
