Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!”

The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can You say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

“Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”

Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.

Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.

I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.

Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

“How can I,” he said, “unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

In His humiliation He was deprived of justice. Who can recount His descendants? For His life was removed from the earth.”

“Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”

And you can see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in nearly the whole province of Asia, this Paul has persuaded a great number of people to turn away. He says that man-made gods are no gods at all.

And now I commit you to God and to the word of His grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.

Take these men, purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that there is no truth to these rumors about you, but that you also live in obedience to the law.

…as the high priest and the whole Council can testify about me. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to apprehend these people and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished.

You can verify for yourself that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.

Nor can they prove to you any of their charges against me.

They have known me for a long time and can testify, if they are willing, that I lived as a Pharisee, adhering to the strictest sect of our religion.

For the king knows about these matters, and I can speak freely to him. I am confident that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner.

Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Can you persuade me in such a short time to become a Christian?”

“Men, I can see that our voyage will be filled with disaster and great loss, not only to ship and cargo, but to our own lives as well.”

Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?

…because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?

What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

One of you will say to me, “Then why does God still find fault? For who can resist His will?”

How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?

How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?

How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?

And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.

…so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.

For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it concern you—but if you can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.

I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.

But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,

…and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.

Don’t you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? No, I will not!

Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Otherwise, if you speak a blessing in spirit, how can someone who is uninstructed say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?

For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.

But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.

Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.

No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.

…who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

But their minds were closed. For to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It has not been lifted, because only in Christ can it be removed.

We are not commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.

We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no one can discredit our ministry.

Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”

I rejoice that I can have complete confidence in you.

…so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.

To my shame I concede that we were too weak for that! Speaking as a fool, however, I can match what anyone else dares to boast about.

When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

What then has become of your blessing? For I can testify that, if it were possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.

…not by works, so that no one can boast.

For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

For now we can go on living, as long as you are standing firm in the Lord.

How can we adequately thank God for you in return for our great joy over you in His presence?

For if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for the church of God?

If any believing woman has dependent widows, she must assist them and not allow the church to be burdened, so that it can help the widows who are truly in need.

He alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light. No one has ever seen Him, nor can anyone see Him. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.

In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,

For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.

Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom, and storm;

The words “Once more” signify the removal of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that the unshakable may remain.

So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.

What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?

As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.

When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can guide the whole animal.

…but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?

My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

Who can harm you if you are zealous for what is good?

The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.

By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.

If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?

To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open.

To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open.

I know your deeds. Behold, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. I know that you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name.

They worshiped the dragon who had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war against it?”
