'Thing' in the Bible

Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.

For every sort of beast and bird and every living thing on earth and in the sea has been controlled by man and is under his authority;

You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure.

But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that.

But most of all, my brothers, do not take oaths, not by the heaven, or by the earth, or by any other thing: but let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No: so that you may not be judged.
