Only

After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.

Suddenly a man in the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only child.

But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”

“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,

So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

…and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.

Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. And after bending down and seeing only the linen cloths, he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?”

The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.

They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”

Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they had gone away alone.

…not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.

So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.

When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.

You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.

…and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.

Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not only my feet, but my hands and my head as well!”

Jesus told him, “Whoever has already bathed needs only to wash his feet, and he will be completely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you.”

Little children, I am with you only a little while longer. You will look for Me, and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’

Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but only that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”

The other disciples came ashore in the boat. They dragged in the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.

Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. However, Jesus did not say that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you?”

These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!

But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”

Meanwhile those scattered by the persecution that began with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the message only to Jews.

So Peter followed him out, but he was unaware that what the angel was doing was real. He thought he was only seeing a vision.

“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.

He had been instructed in the way of the Lord and was fervent in spirit. He spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.

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.

There is danger not only that our business will fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited and her majesty deposed—she who is worshiped by all the province of Asia and the whole world.”

I only know that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions await me.

But I consider my life of no value to me, if only I may finish my course and complete the ministry I have received from the Lord Jesus—the ministry of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

They only had some contentions with him regarding their own religion and a certain Jesus who had died, but whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

“Short time or long,” Paul replied, “I wish to God that not only you but all who hear me this day may become what I am, except for these chains.”

“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.”

But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because you will not experience any loss of life, but only of the ship.

Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.

A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical.

Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,

…since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.

Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.

And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.

Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for Abraham,

Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?

Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

Not only that, but Rebecca’s children were conceived by one man, our father Isaac.

…including us, whom He has called not only from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?

Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.

“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well”?

Therefore it is necessary to submit to authority, not only to avoid punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.

For one person has faith to eat all things, while another, who is weak, eats only vegetables.

…who have risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

…to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have.

Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living?

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize.

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.

But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God.

Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?

For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

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.

…and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.

Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Although I did regret it—for I see that my letter caused you sorrow, but only for a short time—

And not only did they do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, through the will of God.

And this is my opinion about what is helpful for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give, but even to have such a desire.

For not only did he welcome our appeal, but he is eagerly coming to you of his own volition.

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.

For this ministry of service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanksgiving to God.

We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.

For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.

They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”

They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.

A mediator is unnecessary, however, for only one party; but God is one.

Nevertheless, it is good to be zealous if it serves a noble purpose—at any time, and not only when I am with you.

Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.

…far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen.

And do this not only to please them while they are watching, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.

Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending together as one for the faith of the gospel,

For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,

Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
