It is just as Isaiah foretold: “Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.”

For it seems to me that God has displayed us apostles at the end of the procession, like prisoners appointed for death. We have become a spectacle to the whole world, to angels as well as to men.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.

To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.

Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways.

Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.

For we are not like so many others, who peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as men sent from God.

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?

We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was fading away.

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?”

I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

I beg you, brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong.

I beg you, brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong.

Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.

…and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.

…and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

I have nobody else like him who will genuinely care for your needs.

Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him,

…who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.

On the contrary, we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother caring for her children.

…not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God;

Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.

For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.

Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

…for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!

…and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

But they will not advance much further. For just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone.

For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.

They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.

You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”

You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”

For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are convinced of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation.

Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.

And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,

It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord.

If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.

See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his birthright.

But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.

For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,

…and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and consume your flesh like fire. You have hoarded treasure in the last days.

Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.

For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,

For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

…you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

These men are like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be captured and destroyed. They blaspheme in matters they do not understand, and like such creatures, they too will be destroyed.

Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and its works will be laid bare.

Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.

Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did Cain slay him? Because his own deeds were evil, while those of his brother were righteous.

In this way, love has been perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment; for in this world we are just like Him.

In like manner, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in sexual immorality and pursued strange flesh, are on display as an example of those who sustain the punishment of eternal fire.

These men, however, slander what they do not understand, and like irrational animals, they will be destroyed by the things they do instinctively.

On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,

…and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.

The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire.

The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire.

His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.

His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.

He held in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.

When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,

To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a blazing fire and whose feet are like polished bronze.

To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a blazing fire and whose feet are like polished bronze.

He will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery—just as I have received authority from My Father.

Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you.

Like them, he who overcomes will be dressed in white. And I will never blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and His angels.

After this I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had previously heard speak to me like a trumpet was saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.”

The One seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow that gleamed like an emerald encircled the throne.

The One seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow that gleamed like an emerald encircled the throne.

And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back.

The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.

The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.

Then I watched as the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!”

And I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine.”

And I watched as the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth of goat hair, and the whole moon turned blood red,

…and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind.

The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

Then the second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood,

Then the third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star burning like a torch fell from heaven and landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.

The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter like wormwood oil, and many people died from the bitter waters.

The star opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit.
