Others, wanting to test Jesus, kept asking him for a sign from heaven.

"How terrible it will be for you Pharisees! You give a tenth of your mint, spices, and every kind of herb, but you neglect justice and the love of God. These are the things you should have practiced, without neglecting the others.

That is why the Wisdom of God said, "I will send them prophets and apostles. They will kill some of them and persecute others,'

Some were saying, "It's him," while others were saying, "No, but it's someone like him." But he himself kept saying, "It's me!"

Some of the Pharisees began to remark, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "How can a sinful man perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

Others were saying, "These are not the words of a man who is demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can it?"

Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again!" The crowd standing there heard this and said that it was thunder. Others were saying, "An angel has spoken to him."

Jesus replied, "Are you asking this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about me?"

There they crucified him, along with two others, one on each side of him with Jesus in the middle.

But the people of the city were divided. Some were with the Jews, while others were with the apostles.

Paul and Barnabas had quite a dispute and argument with them. So Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to confer with the apostles and elders about this question.

Both Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch to teach and proclaim the word of the Lord, as did many others.

but after they had gotten a bond from Jason and the others, they let them go.

Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also debated with him. Some asked, "What is this blabbermouth trying to say?" while others said, "He seems to be preaching about foreign gods." This was because Paul was telling the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.

When they heard about a resurrection of the dead, some began joking about it, while others said, "We will hear you again about this."

Some men joined him and became believers. With them were Dionysius, who was a member of the Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and some others along with them.

He called a meeting of these men and others who were engaged in similar trades and said, "Men, you well know that we get a good income from this business.

as you teach others, do you fail to teach yourself? As you preach against stealing, do you steal?

If your gift is serving, devote yourself to serving others. If it is teaching, devote yourself to teaching others.

If it is encouraging, devote yourself to encouraging others. If it is sharing, share generously. If it is leading, lead enthusiastically. If it is helping, help cheerfully.

Instead, you yourselves practice doing wrong and cheating others, and brothers at that!

If others enjoy this right over you, don't we have a stronger claim? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we tolerate everything in order not to put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of the Messiah.

No, I keep on disciplining my body, making it serve me so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified.

God has appointed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then those who perform miracles, those who have gifts of healing, those who help others, administrators, and those who speak various kinds of languages.

But in church I would rather speak five words with my mind to instruct others than 10,000 words in a foreign language.

Two or three prophets should speak, and others should weigh carefully what is said.

Therefore, my brothers, desire the ability to prophesy, and do not prevent others from speaking in foreign languages.

But by God's grace I am what I am, and his grace shown to me was not wasted. Instead, I worked harder than all the others not I, of course, but God's grace that was with me.

So, whether it was I or the others, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

who comforts us in all our suffering, so that we may be able to comfort others in all their suffering, as we ourselves are being comforted by God.

To some people we are a deadly fragrance, while to others we are a living fragrance. Who is qualified for this?

At least we are not commercializing God's word like so many others. Instead, we speak with sincerity in the Messiah's name, like people who are sent from God and are accountable to God.

I am not commanding you but testing the genuineness of your love by the enthusiasm of others.

Not that others should have relief while you have hardship. Rather, it is a question of fairness.

In every way you will grow richer and become even more generous, and this will cause others to give thanks to God because of us,

We are not boasting about work done by others that cannot be evaluated. On the contrary, we cherish the hope that your faith may continue to grow and enlarge our sphere of action among you until it overflows.

These people who want to impress others by their external appearance are trying to force you to be circumcised, simply to avoid being persecuted for the cross of the Messiah.

You, too, are being built in him, along with the others, into a place for God's Spirit to dwell.

And it is he who gifted some to be apostles, others to be prophets, others to be evangelists, and still others to be pastors and teachers,

Some are preaching the Messiah because of jealousy and dissension, while others do so because of their good will.

Do not act out of selfish ambition or conceit, but with humility think of others as being better than yourselves.

Do not be concerned about your own interests, but also be concerned about the interests of others.

Now lifted up by God to heaven, a name above all others given, this matchless name possessing.

For all the others look after their own interests, not after those of Jesus the Messiah.

Therefore, let's not fall asleep like others do, but let's stay awake and be sober.

Do not ordain anyone hastily. Do not participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

The sins of some people are obvious, leading them to judgment. The sins of others follow them there.

What you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well.

Meditate on Jesus, the Messiah, who was raised from the dead and is a descendant of David. This is the gospel I tell others.

Remind others about these things, and warn them before God not to argue over words. Arguing does not do any good but only destroys those who are listening.

They have abandoned the truth by claiming that the resurrection has already taken place, and so they destroy the faith of others.

In a large house there are not only utensils made of gold and silver, but also those made of wood and clay. Some are for special use, while others are for ordinary use.

Always set an example for others by doing good actions. Teach with integrity and dignity.

Now none of this happened without an oath. Others became priests without any oath,

Still others endured taunts and floggings, and even chains and imprisonment.

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more severely than others.

Do not pay others back evil for evil or insult for insult. Instead, keep blessing them, because you were called to inherit a blessing.

and if he did not spare the ancient world but protected Noah, a righteous preacher, along with seven others when he brought the flood on the world of ungodly people;

Save others by snatching them from the fire. To others, show mercy with fear, hating even the clothes stained by their sinful lives.

"See, I am coming like a thief. How blessed is the person who remains alert and keeps his clothes on! He won't have to go naked and let others see his shame."
