Men

But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a short time.

“Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.

“Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.

Some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.

So in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone. Let them go! For if their purpose or endeavor is of human origin, it will fail.

Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men confirmed to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will assign this responsibility to them

But resistance arose from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen, including Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and men from the provinces of Cilicia and Asia. They disputed with Stephen,

Then they prompted some men to say, “We heard Stephen speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.”

The next day he came upon two Israelites who were fighting, and he tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why are you mistreating each other?’

God-fearing men buried Stephen and mourned deeply over him.

But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.

But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

…and requested letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.

Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to urge him, “Come to us without delay.”

Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.

The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.

As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.

So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”

…and said, “You visited uncircumcised men and ate with them.”

Just then three men sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.

But some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus.

Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: “Men of Israel and you Gentiles who fear God, listen to me!

The Jews, however, incited the religious women of prominence and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their district.

“Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.

“Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.

Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

And after engaging these men in sharp debate, Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.

…so that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the Lord who does these things

Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to select men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas called Barsabbas and Silas, two leaders among the brothers,

So we all agreed to choose men to send to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

…men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they assembled the congregation and delivered the letter.

This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”

They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil

When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order: “Release those men.”

But when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have now come here,

As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.

Then Paul stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see that in every way you are very religious.

From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands.

There were about twelve men in all.

Demetrius assembled the craftsmen, along with the workmen in related trades. “Men,” he said, “you know that this business is our source of prosperity.

When the men heard this, they were enraged and began shouting, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

Finally the city clerk quieted the crowd and declared, “Men of Ephesus, doesn’t everyone know that the city of Ephesus is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven?

For you have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed our temple nor blasphemed our goddess.

These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.

Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them.

Therefore do what we advise you. There are four men with us who have taken a vow.

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.

So the next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he entered the temple to give notice of the date when their purification would be complete and the offering would be made for each of them.

…crying out, “Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and against our law and against this place. Furthermore, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”

I persecuted this Way even to the death, detaining both men and women and throwing them into prison,

Do not let them persuade you, because more than forty men are waiting to ambush him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him; they are ready now, awaiting your consent.”

Otherwise, let these men state for themselves any crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin,

The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the auditorium, along with the commanders and leading men of the city. And Festus ordered that Paul be brought in.

“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.”

We were tossed so violently that the next day the men began to jettison the cargo.

After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete. Then you would have averted this disaster and loss.

After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete. Then you would have averted this disaster and loss.

So take courage, men, for I believe God that it will happen just as He told me.

But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved.”

After the men had eaten their fill, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.

So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.

So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.

And what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

For whoever serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.

For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?

Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours,

So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

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.

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts,

I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.

For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit.

But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.

If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.

Not all flesh is the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another, and fish another.

Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.

For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.

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.

Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well.

For we are taking great care to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord, but also in the eyes of men.

In full view of the churches, then, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about you.

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.

Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—

Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself, for fear of those in the circumcision group.
