'Means' in the Bible

always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.

Do we then by means of this faith abolish the Law? No, indeed; we give the Law a firmer footing.

Sin took advantage of this, and by means of the Commandment stirred up within me every kind of coveting; for apart from Law sin would be dead.

For sin seized the advantage, and by means of the Commandment it completely deceived me, and also put me to death.

Did then a thing which is good become death to me? No, indeed, but sin did; so that through its bringing about death by means of what was good, it might be seen in its true light as sin, in order that by means of the Commandment the unspeakable sinfulness of sin might be plainly shown.

Because for the mind to be given up to earthly things means death; but for it to be given up to spiritual things means Life and peace.

For as a means of righteousness Christ is the termination of Law to every believer.
