…both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

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?

On their release, Peter and John returned to their own people and reported everything that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

The multitude of believers was one in heart and soul. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they owned.

When he was set outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.

After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will carry out My will in its entirety.’

For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.

In past generations, He let all nations go their own way.

Simon has told us how God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people to be His own.

‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’

But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

But since it is a dispute about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of such things.”

Keep watch over yourselves and the entire flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood.

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

You yourselves know that these hands of mine have ministered to my own needs and those of my companions.

Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and hand him over to the Gentiles.’”

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

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.

Surely all the Jews know how I have lived from my earliest childhood among my own people, and also in Jerusalem.

I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them

“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.”

On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.

So for your own preservation, I urge you to eat something, because not a single hair of your head will be lost.”

Paul stayed there two full years in his own rented house, welcoming all who came to visit him.

For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,

For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope

He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?

For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood,

Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

…in the hope that I may provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.

For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

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.

One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.

For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.

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.

He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.

We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, even against your own brothers!

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.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.

But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.

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.

I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but in order to promote proper decorum and undivided devotion to the Lord.

Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of its milk?

No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.

…the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?

…as I also try to please everyone in all I do. For I am not seeking my own good, but the good of many, that they may be saved.

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!

If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.

But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.

But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.

This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.

On account of this, we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were even more delighted by the joy of Titus. For his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.

For I testify that they gave according to their ability and even beyond it. Of their own accord,

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

Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.

For each one should carry his own load.

See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!

In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will,

He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need.

In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.

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

For all the others look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

…and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.

This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how beloved you have become to us.

For you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children—

…encouraging you, comforting you, and urging you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea that are in Christ Jesus. You suffered from your own countrymen the very things they suffered from the Jews,

…who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men,

So when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left on our own in Athens.

…each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,

…and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you.

…and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you.

We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living.

This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. This is my mark in every letter; it is the way I write.

An overseer must manage his own household well and keep his children under control, with complete dignity.

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

A deacon must be the husband of but one wife, a good manager of his children and of his own household.

But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to show godliness to their own family and repay their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.

If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

…which the blessed and only Sovereign One—the King of kings and Lord of lords—will bring about in His own time.

He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began.

For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.

In His own time He has made His word evident in the proclamation entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.

As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”

…to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited.

Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,

He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will.

I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.

For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.

That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.

He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption.
