Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?”

My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, a little less than two miles away,

You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”

For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.

When they had finished eating, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “You know I love You.” Jesus replied, “Feed My lambs.”

But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.

But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.

Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.

Now all the Athenians and foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing more than hearing and articulating new ideas.

In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

More than forty of them were involved in this plot.

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.”

You can verify for yourself that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.

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.

About noon, O king, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and my companions.

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen.

Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.

And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

If others have this right to your support, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not exercise this right. Instead, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.

But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that something be done for me. Indeed, I would rather die than let anyone nullify my boast.

Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

In the following instructions I have no praise to offer, because your gatherings do more harm than good.

I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.

I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.

But in the church, I would rather speak five coherent words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.

After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

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

We are not commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.

More than that, this brother was chosen by the churches to accompany us with the gracious offering we administer to honor the Lord Himself and to show our eagerness to help.

For even if I boast somewhat excessively about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed.

For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the One you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it very easily.

Even if I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me,

For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”

Though I am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.

More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ

See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ.

…or devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith.

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

…traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

…no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a beloved brother. He is especially beloved to me, but even more so to you, both in person and in the Lord.

Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.

For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument.

So it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.

He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.

…to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

…so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, only to be entangled and overcome by it again, their final condition is worse than it was at first.

It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to have known it and then to turn away from the holy commandment passed on to them.

Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.

You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

I know your deeds—your love, your faith, your service, your perseverance—and your latest deeds are greater than your first.

…than to hold fast to what you have until I come.
