Or

“Where is Your Father?” they asked Him. “You do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would know My Father as well.”

…and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”

Since Judas kept the money bag, some thought that Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the feast, or to give something to the poor.

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves.

They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.

“Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”

Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.

But Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”

And when Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised by this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

There were no needy ones among them, because those who owned lands or houses would sell their property, bring the proceeds from the sales,

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.

…but they could not stand up to his wisdom or the Spirit by whom he spoke.

‘Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me, says the Lord, or where will My place of repose be?

You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God.

“Tell me,” said the eunuch, “who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”

…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.

For three days he was without sight, and he did not eat or drink anything.

“No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.

He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.

‘No, Lord,’ I said, ‘for nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

…by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.”

Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination.

But just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio told the Jews, “If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your complaint.

I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.

I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.

But they are under the impression that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe our customs.

A great clamor arose, and some scribes from the party of the Pharisees got up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”

When daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

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.”

I found that the accusation involved questions about their own law, but there was no charge worthy of death or imprisonment.

Yet my accusers did not find me debating with anyone in the temple or riling up a crowd in the synagogues or in the city.

Yet my accusers did not find me debating with anyone in the temple or riling up a crowd in the synagogues or in the city.

At the time they found me in the temple, I was ceremonially clean and was not inciting a crowd or an uproar. But there are some Jews from the province of Asia

After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul be brought in.

Then Paul made his defense: “I have committed no offense against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”

Then Paul made his defense: “I have committed no offense against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”

“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.”

On their way out, they said to one another, “This man has done nothing worthy of death or imprisonment.”

The islanders were expecting him to swell up or suddenly drop dead. But after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.

After three days, he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, I was taken prisoner in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.

The leaders replied, “We have not received any letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the brothers from there reported or even mentioned anything bad about you.

Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them

What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?

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.

In what context was it credited? Was it after his circumcision, or before? It was not after, but before.

Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness?

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

Yet before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad, in order that God’s plan of election might stand,

So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.

…or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”

“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”

Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.

Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.

It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.

It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.

What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”

When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.

Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,

…whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,

…whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,

I care very little, however, if I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

Which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and with a gentle spirit?

I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

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,

Or don’t you know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”

But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace.

How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your 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.

For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),

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

Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.

Do not become a stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—
