Those

For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

…but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”

So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church?

But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

What I am saying, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;

…those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;

…those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;

…those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;

…and those who use the things of this world, as if not dependent on them. For this world in its present form is passing away.

This is my defense to those who scrutinize me:

Do you not know that those who work in the temple eat of its food, and those who serve at the altar partake of its offerings?

Do you not know that those who work in the temple eat of its food, and those who serve at the altar partake of its offerings?

In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.

To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.

To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.

Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?

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!

And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.

Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

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

If these things are not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?

As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.

As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.

Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

…who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

For if I grieve you, who is left to cheer me but those whom I have grieved?

I wrote as I did so that on my arrival I would not be grieved by those who ought to make me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would share my joy.

For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.

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.

And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again.

I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh.

I consider myself in no way inferior to those “super-apostles.”

But I will keep on doing what I am doing, in order to undercut those who want an opportunity to be regarded as our equals in the things of which they boast.

I have become a fool, but you drove me to it. In fact, you should have commended me, since I am in no way inferior to those “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.

I already warned you the second time I was with you. So now in my absence I warn those who sinned earlier and everyone else: If I return, I will not spare anyone,

I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I spoke privately to those recognized as leaders, for fear that I was running or had already run in vain.

But as for the highly esteemed—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—those leaders added nothing to me.

And recognizing the grace that I had been given, James, Cephas, and John—those reputed to be pillars—gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.

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.

Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.

So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.

…to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons.

Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.

But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?

Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them.

As for those who are agitating you, I wish they would proceed to emasculate themselves!

…and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

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.

…who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.

He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.

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.

…without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a clear sign of their destruction but of your salvation, and it is from God.

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

Watch out for those dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh!

Watch out for those dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh!

Watch out for those dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh!

Join one another in following my example, brothers, and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you.

All the saints send you greetings, especially those from the household of Caesar.

For I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me face to face,

For I testify about him that he goes to great pains for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis.

Instead, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, not in order to please men but God, who examines our hearts.

Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.

For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.

By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep.

For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

But we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who work diligently among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you.

After all, it is only right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

…in blazing fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

…and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them.

But for this very reason I was shown mercy, so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His perfect patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

…for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.

For those who have served well as deacons acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, and especially of those who believe.

Pay close attention to your life and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

Elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

But those who persist in sin should be rebuked in front of everyone, so that the others will stand in fear of sin.

Those who have believing masters should not show disrespect because they are brothers, but should serve them all the more, since those receiving their good service are beloved believers. Teach and encourage these principles.

Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.

Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy.

Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”

Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.

He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.

For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,

This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will take care to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for the people.

All who are with me send you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.
