The resurrected body
A different body
1 Cor 15:35 – But someone will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?"

1 Cor 15:40 – There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another.
1 Cor 15:41 – There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

See 1Jn 3:2
Receive inheritance [footnote text=“The following verses do not explicitly mention resurrection. But based on 2 Corinthians 5:1-5, we may infer that God gives us the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of the resurrection. Ephesians 1:13-14 states further that we are sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance. Thus, when the Bible speaks of our future inheritance, it is implicitly alluding to our resurrection.”]
Acts 20:32 – And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
Acts 26:18 – to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
2 Cor 5:1 – For we know that if the tent, which is our earthly home, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 Cor 5:2 – For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling,
2 Cor 5:3 – if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked.
2 Cor 5:4 – For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened–not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
2 Cor 5:5 – He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
Eph 1:14 – who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Col 1:12 – giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
Col 3:24 – knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
1 Pet 1:4 – to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,
Heb 9:15 – Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.
The dead in Christ will rise first
1 Thess 4:14 – For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
1 Thess 4:15 – For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
1 Thess 4:16 – For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
1 Thess 4:17 – Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
The end after the resurrection

1 Cor 15:25 – For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
1 Cor 15:26 – The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
1 Cor 15:27 – For "God has put all things in subjection under his feet." But when it says, "all things are put in subjection," it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him.
1 Cor 15:28 – When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.
Also see Rm 8:18-30 regarding the redemption of the bodies and the sons of God receiving glory.

Peter heals a lame beggar and speaks at Solomon’s Portico (Acts 3:1-4:4).
Peter and John appear before the council. After they are released, the believers pray for boldness (Acts 4:5-31).
The believers share everything with each other. Barnabas sells a field and gives the money to the apostles to distribute. Ananias and Sapphira lie and keep back proceeds from the field they sell; they die (Acts 4:32-5:11).
Many signs and wonders are done and many are added to the Lord (Acts 5:12-16).
The council imprisons the apostles, but the apostles are freed by an angel of the Lord. The apostles continue to teach and insist on obeying God, angering the council. Gamaliel convinces the council to let the apostles go and the apostles rejoice that they are worthy to suffer for Christ. The apostles continue to teach and preach daily (Acts 5:17-41).
The early church grows (Acts 6:1-12:23)
In Jerusalem, seven men are chosen to serve but one, Stephen, is stoned (Acts 6:1-8:3).
Seven men of good repute, who are full of the Spirit and wisdom are chosen to serve the growing number of disciples while the twelve apostles devote themselves to prayers and ministry of the word (Acts 6:1-7).
Stephen does great wonders and signs but is seized and brought before the council. The council sees his face was like the face of an angel. Stephen gives a speech but is stoned. The witnesses lay down their garments at the feet of Saul, who approves of Stephen’s execution (Acts 6:8-8:1; 22:20).
On the day of Stephen’s execution, the church is scattered except for the apostles. Saul ravages the church by entering homes and dragging off people to prison (Acts 8:1-3).
Philip proclaims Christ in Samaria and performs signs (Acts 8:4-8).
Simon the magician believes, is baptized, and sees signs and great miracles. When he sees that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hand, he offers them money for this “power” but Peter chastises him. Simon repents. They return to Jerusalem (Acts 8:9-25).
An angel of the Lord sends Philip to Gaza, where an Ethiopian eunuch is reading a passage from Isaiah. Philip helps the eunuch understand and baptizes him in water at his request. The eunuch rejoices and the Spirit of the Lord carries Philip to Azotus and he preaches until he arrives at Caesarea (Acts 8:26-40).
Saul is converted to Christianity (Acts 9:1-31).
Saul asks for letters from the high priest and sets off toward Damascus, intending to arrest the believers he finds there (Acts 9:1-2).
While Saul goes to Damascus, a light shines and a voice says, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” Saul and the men who travel with him are speechless, and Saul loses his vision for three days. He is led to Damascus where he does not eat or drink for the three days of his blindness (Acts 9:3-9).
Ananias, a disciple at Damascus, receives a vision from the Lord instructing him to lay hands on Saul so he can receive his sight. Ananias protests but the Lord tells him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine… I will show him how much he will suffer for the sake of my name.” Ananias goes and lays hands on Saul and tells him to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Something like scales falls from Saul’s eyes and he regains his sight, is baptized, takes food, and is strengthened (Acts 9:10-19).
Saul immediately proclaims Jesus in the synagogues in Damascus. Saul goes to Arabia, returns and remains in Damascus. He increases in strength and confounds the Jews in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ. The Jews plot to kill Saul but Saul escapes with the help of the disciples. (Acts 9:19-25; Gal 1:17-24).
Saul tries to join the disciples in Jerusalem but they are all afraid of him except Barnabas. He stays with Peter for fifteen days and only sees James, brother Lord Jesus. Paul preaches boldly in the name of the Lord and disputes against the Hellenists, but they try to kill him. The brothers help Paul escape and bring him to Caesarea and send him to Tarsus. The church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria has peace and is built up and multiplies (Acts 9:26-31; 2 Cor 11:32-33; Gal 1:17-24).
Peter goes to Lydda and heals Aeneas, who was paralyzed and bedridden for eight years. The residents of Lydda and Sharon turn to the Lord (Acts 9:32-35).

Cornelius and the Gentiles are baptized in Caesarea (Acts 10:1-48).
The circumcision party in Jerusalem criticizes Peter for eating with Gentiles. Peter gives a report of Cornelius’ and his visions, the Holy Spirit being given to the Gentiles, and the baptisms. The ones who criticize Peter fall silent and glorify God (Acts 11:1-18).
The church is established in Antioch after witnesses of Stephen’s persecution, and then Barnabas preaches to the Antioch Hellenists. Barnabas later goes to Tarsus to bring Saul to Antioch, where they stay for a year teaching. The believers are called Christians and become a church. Prophets go back and forth between Jerusalem and Antioch and one prophesizes of a famine, so the brothers send relief to the elders through Barnabas and Saul (Acts 11:19-30).
Herod kills James, the brother of John, with a sword and arrests Peter (Acts 12:1-4).
Peter is freed from prison by an angel of the Lord and recounts what happened to the believers at the house of Mary, mother of Mark (Acts 12:5-19).
Herod gives a speech to the people of Tyre and Sidon but does not glorify God. He is eaten by worms and dies (Acts 12:20-24).

First Missionary Journey (Acts 13:1-14:28)
The Holy Spirit sends Barnabas and Saul out to work, who travel from Antioch in Syria to Seleucia in Syria (Acts 13:1-4).
Barnabas and Saul sail from Seleucia, Syria to Salamis on the island of Cyprus and proclaim the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. John assists them. Barnabas and Saul go through the whole island of Cyprus as far as Paphos and preach to Sergius Paulus, the proconsul. Elymas the magician tries to oppose them, is blinded, and Sergius Paulus believes (Acts 13:5-12).
Paul and his companions sail from Paphos on the island of Cyprus to Perga, Lycia (Pamphylia). John leaves them and returns to Jerusalem (Acts 13:13).

Paul preaches in the synagogue at Antioch in Galatia (Pisidia) (Acts 13:14-43).
Israelite history (Acts 13:14-22)
Prophecy and fulfillment of the Savior Jesus (Acts 13:23-37)
A warning about the consequences of not believing in Jesus’ forgiveness of sins (Acts 13:38-41)
The Jews become jealous and contradict Paul, so Paul and Barnabas turn to the Gentiles, who rejoice, glorify and believe the word of the Lord (Acts 13:44-49).
The Jews stir up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drive them out of their district so Paul and Barnabus go to Iconium (Acts 13:50-51).
The disciples are filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:52).
Paul and Barnabus go from Antioch in Galatia (Pisidia) to Iconium, Galatia and preach to both Jews and Gentiles for a long time (Acts 14:1-6)
Paul and Barnabas preach in the Jewish synagogue and a great number of Jews and Greeks believe, but the unbelieving Jews poison the Gentiles' minds against the brothers (Acts 14:1-2).
Paul and Barnabas preach in Iconium for a long time and the Lord grants signs and wonders to be done by their hands (Acts 14:3).
The people of Iconium are divided and attempt to mistreat Paul and Barnabas, who then flee (Acts 14:4-6).
Paul and Barnabus flee to Lystra, Galatia (Lycaonia), then go to Derbe, Galatia (Lycaonia). (Acts 14:6-20)
Paul and Barnabas flee from Iconium to Lystra and continue to preach the gospel (Acts 14:6-7).
Paul heals a man at Lystra and the crowds want to worship Paul and Barnabas (Acts 14:8-18).
The Jews come from Antioch and Iconium and persuade the crowds to stone Paul in Lystra and drag Paul out of the city (Acts 14:19-20).
The disciples gather around Paul and Paul rises and enters the city. The next day, he goes to Derbe with Barnabas (Acts 14:6, 20-21).
After Paul and Barnabas preach in Derbe, many become disciples. Paul and Barnabas return to Lystra, then Iconium, then Antioch, strengthening and encouraging the disciples in each city. They also appoint elders in every church with prayer and fasting (Acts 14:6, 20-23).
From Antioch in Galatia (Pisidia), Paul and Barnabas return to Antioch in Syria (Acts 14:24-28)
Paul and Barnabas pass through Pisidia and preach in Perga (Acts 14:24-25).
After preaching in Perga, Paul and Barnabas go down to Attalia (Acts 14:24-25).
After Attalia, Paul and Barnabas sail to Antioch in Syria, "where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had fulfilled" (Acts 14:26-28).
The assembly of apostles and the elders in Jerusalem discuss the conflict over circumcision (Acts 15:1-35; Gal 2:11-14)
Some men from Judea argue with Paul and Barnabas about the necessity of circumcision for salvation so Paul and Barnabas, with some others, go to Jerusalem to ask the apostles and elders about the issue. Along the way and in Jerusalem, they spread news of the conversion of the Gentiles and the brethren rejoice (Acts 15:1-4).
In Jerusalem, some Pharisees insist that circumcision and the law of Moses is necessary for salvation, but Peter stands up and asks the Pharisees why they put an unbearable yoke on everyone when the grace of the Lord Jesus saves.
God made a choice that by Peter’s mouth, the Gentiles should hear the gospel and believe (Acts 15:7-9).
God knows the heart of the Gentiles
God gave the Holy Spirit to the Gentiles
God makes no distinction between them and the Jews
God cleansed the Gentiles hearts by faith
By insisting on circumcision, the Jews put God to the test by placing a burden on the disciples that the Jews and their fathers were not able to bear. Instead, they all believe that they will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus (Acts 15:10-11).
Barnabas and Paul tell the assembly the signs and wonders of God done through them among the Gentiles (Acts 15:12).
James addresses the assembly and a letter is sent to the Gentiles (Acts 15:13-33).
James connects Simeon (Peter)’s testimony of the Gentiles conversion and the prophecy concerning “all the Gentiles who are called by my name.” (Acts 15:13-18; 10:1-48; Amos 9:11,12 LXX)
James judges that they should leave the Gentile believers alone regarding circumcision and the law of Moses.
The apostles and elders send Judas (Barsabbas) and Silas with a letter to the Gentiles in Antioch about not burdening them with anything beyond the following requirements (Acts 15:19-33):
Abstain from things polluted by idols
Abstain from sexual immorality
Abstain from what has been strangled
Abstain from blood
Paul and Barnabas remain in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also (Acts 15:35).
Second Missionary Journey (Acts 15:36-18:22)
Barnabas separates from Paul, who goes to Derbe, Galatia (Lycaonia) (Acts 15:36-16:1)
Paul and Barnabas separate over John called Mark (Acts 15:36-41).
Barnabas takes Mark and sails away to Cyprus while Paul chooses Silas and goes through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches (Acts 15:39-41).
Paul likely passes through Tarsus, the capital of the Cilicia province and also his birthplace (Acts 21:39; 22:3).
Paul goes to Derbe (Acts 16:1).
Paul meets Timothy in Lystra, Galatia (Lycaonia), and they preach throughout Phrygia and Galatia (Acts 16:1-6)
In Lystra, Paul meets Timothy and brings him along (Acts 16:1-5).
Paul's group goes through the region of Phrygia and Galatia because the Holy Spirit forbids them to speak the word in Asia (Acts 16:6).
The Spirit of Jesus does not allow Paul to go to Bithynia so he passes Mysia and goes to Troas (Acts 16:7-10)
Paul's group goes to Mysia and attempts to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus does not allow them. So they pass Mysia and go to Troas. (Acts 16:7-8)
Paul has a vision of a Macedonian man asking them to come help, so Paul's group heads toward Macedonia (Acts 16:9-10; 1 Tim 1:3).
Paul goes to Samothrace, Thrace, then to Neapolis, Macedonia, then to Philippi, Macedonia, where they baptize Lydia and a jailer (Acts 16:11-40)
Paul's group makes a direct voyage to go from Troas to Samothrace island in the North Aegean Sea (Acts 16:11).
The day after Paul's group goes to Samothrace, they go to Neapolis (Acts 16:11).
After going to Neapolis, Paul and Silas go to Philippi and baptize Lydia. A slave girl with a spirit of divination follows Paul and Paul casts it out. Paul and Silas are charged and attacked before the magistrate and then jailed (Acts 16:12-24).
While in jail, Paul and Silas pray and sing hymns to God and a great earthquake shakes the foundations of the prison. Paul and Silas's bonds are unfastened and they preach to and baptize the jailer (Acts 16:25-34).
The next day, the magistrates apologize to Paul and Silas and ask them to leave the city, so Paul and Silas visit Lydia and depart from Philippi (Acts 16:35-40).
Paul goes to Amphipolis, Macedonia, then to Apollonia, Macedonia and arrive at Thessalonica, Macedonia (Acts 17:1-9)
Paul's group passes through Amphipolis and Apollonia and go to Thessalonica where there is a synagogue of the Jews (Acts 17:1)
In Thessalonica, Paul reasons with the Jews in their synagogue for three Sabbaths. Some are persuaded and join Paul and Silas, but the Jews become jealous and mob the house of Jason when they cannot find Paul and Silas (Acts 17:1-9).
Paul goes to Berea, Macedonia (Acts 17:10-14)
The Thessalonian brothers immediately send Paul and Silas to a synagogue in Berea. The Bereans receive the word with eagerness and examine the Scriptures daily, but the Thessalonians come and stir up the crowds. (Acts 17:10-13)
Paul is sent on his way to the sea but Silas and Timothy remain in Berea (Acts 17:14).
Paul goes Athens, Achaia and addresses the Aeropagus (Acts 17:15-34)
The brothers bring Paul as far as Athens and Paul sends for Silas and Timothy to also go to Athens. (Acts 17:15)
While waiting, Paul’s spirit is provoked because the city is full of idols. He reasons in the synagogues and in the marketplace every day. (Acts 17:16-17)
Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers bring Paul to the Areopagus to speak because the inhabitants of Athens spend their time listening to new teachings. After Paul speaks of the nature of God, repentance, and the day of resurrection, some mock and some believe (Acts 17:16-34)
Paul goes to Corinth, Achaia and stays with Aquila and Priscilla for a year and six months (Acts 18:1-17)
After leaving Athens, Paul goes to Corinth, where he meets and stays with Aquila and Priscilla because they are of the same trade, tentmakers. Paul reasons in the synagogue every Sabbath and tries to persuade Jews and Greeks (Acts 18:1-4).
Silas and Timothy arrive while Paul testifies to the Jews that Christ is Jesus. He goes to the house of Titius Justus who lives next to another synagogue ruled by Crispus, who believes in the Lord along with his entire household. God tells Paul to not be afraid and go on speaking because He is with Paul and has many in Corinth who are God's people. Paul stays in Corinth for a year and six months (Acts 18:5-11; 2 Cor 11:8-9).
The Jews attack Paul and bring him before the proconsul Gallio, who refuses to judge a matter concerning Jewish law, so the Jews beat Sosthenes, ruler of the synagogue, in front of the tribunal (Acts 18:12-17).
Paul is encouraged by Timothy's report on the church in Thessalonica and writes 1 Thessalonians (Acts 17:1-2, 14-16; 18:1, 5; 1 Thess 3:1-6)
Paul, Priscilla, and Aquila goes to Cenchreae, Achaia, then to Ephesus, Asia (Acts 18:18-21; Rom 16:1)
Paul heads toward Syria with Priscilla and Aquila. Paul cuts his hair at Cenchreae because he was under a vow (Acts 18:18).
Paul leaves Priscilla and Aquila at Ephesus and reasons with the Jews in the synagogues. He declines to stay at Ephesus for a longer period of time and departs (Acts 18:18-21).
Paul declines to stay at Ephesus for a longer period of time and sails to Caesarea (Acts 18:19-22).
After landing at Caesarea, Paul goes up to greet the church [in Jerusalem, Palestine] (Acts 18:22).
After Paul goes up to the church [in Jerusalem, Palestine], he goes down to Antioch, Syria (Acts 18:22)
Third Missionary Journey (Acts 18:23-21:17)
Paul spends some time in Antioch, Syria, then goes from one place to another through the regions of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples (Acts 18:22-23).
Paul goes through the region of Galatia and Phrygia to the city of Ephesus, Asia (Acts 18:23-19:41)
After strengthening all the disciples in the region of Galatia and Phrygia, Paul passes through the inland country and arrives at Ephesus (Acts 18:23; 19:1).
Paul finds about twelve disciples at Ephesus who had never heard of the Holy Spirit and had only been baptized into John's baptism of repentance. Paul baptizes them in the name of the Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit comes upon them, and they begin to speak in tongues and prophesy (Acts 19:1-7).
Paul speaks boldly for three months in the synagogue until some begin to speak evil of the Way. Then Paul withdraws from them, takes disciples with him, and reasons daily in the hall of Tyrannus for two years (Acts 19:8-10).
God does mighty works by Paul's hands. The sons of the Jewish high priest Sceva try to command evil spirit but are overpowered instead. The word of the Lord continues to increase and prevail mightily (Acts 19:11-20).
Paul resolves to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and go to Jerusalem. He sends Timothy and Erastus to Macedonia (Acts 19:21-22; 1 Cor 16:8-9).
Paul writes 1 Corinthians (Acts 19:22; 1 Cor 16:8-9).
A silversmith Demetrius causes disturbance in Ephesus because he fears that his idol-making business will suffer as people stop believing in gods made with hands. The city is filled with confusion and Paul's disciples stop Paul from going in among the crowd. The town clerk quiets the crowd and dismisses the assembly (Acts 19:23-41).
Paul goes throughout Macedonia (Acts 20:1-2)
After the uproar in Ephesus, Paul encourages the disciples, says farewell, and departs for Macedonia, encouraging the regions along the way (Acts 20:1-2). Churches in Macedonia Paul possibly visited on the way from Ephesus to Greece (Achaia): Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea.

Paul possibly writes the letter to the Romans while he stays in Corinth (1 Cor 16:3-9; Rom 15:25).
After three months in Greece, Paul decides to return to Syria by going through Macedonia instead of sailing to Syria (Acts 20:2-5, 1 Cor 16:3-9).
Paul sails from Philippi in Macedonia after the days of Unleavened Bread and meets his fellow workers at Troas (Acts 20:6).
Paul and his fellow workers stay at Troas for seven days (Acts 20:6)
The day before Paul intends to depart, Paul talks from the time of breaking bread until midnight. A young man Eutychus sits at the window, falls asleep, and falls down from the third story and is taken up dead, but Paul reassures the people there that life is in him. Paul goes back up, eats, and converses until daybreak and then departs (Acts 20:7-12).
Paul goes from Troas, Asia to Assos, Asia and joins his fellow workers on the ship to Mitylene, Asia (Acts 20:13-14).

Paul and his fellow workers sail from Miletus to Cos, Asia, then to Rhodes, then to Patara, Lycia (Acts 21:1)
Paul and his fellow workers sail from Patara, Lycia, to Tyre, Syria (Acts 21:2-6)
Paul and his fellow workers find a ship crossing to Phoenicia and go on board and set sail. They see Cyprus but leave it on the left, sailing to Syria and landing at Tyre (Acts 21:2-3)
They stay for seven days with disciples of Tyre, who tell Paul through the Holy Spirit not to go to Jerusalem. When it is time for Paul to leave, all the disciples of Tyre accompany Paul's group to the beach, kneel down to pray, and say farewell (Acts 21:4-6).
Paul and his fellow workers go to Ptolemais, Syria, then to Caesarea, Palestine (Acts 21:7-14)
Paul and his fellow workers depart Tyre and arrive at Ptolemais, greet the brothers and stay with them for one day (Acts 21:7).
Paul and his fellow workers depart Ptolemais and arrive at Caesarea, where they stay with Philip (Acts 21:8-9).
Paul and his fellow workers stay with Philip for many days and a prophet Agabus prophesizes that the Jews in Jerusalem will bind Paul up and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. Everyone who hears it urges Paul not to go to Jerusalem but Paul cannot be persuaded so they say, "Let the will of the Lord be done" (Acts 21:10-14).
Paul and his fellow workers go from Caesarea, Palestine to Jerusalem, Palestine. (Acts 21:15)
Paul is arrested and examined in Jerusalem (Acts 21:15-26:32)
Paul and his companions arrive in Jerusalem (Acts 21:15-26).
Some of the disciples from Caesarea go with Paul and his companions to bring them to Mnason of Cyprus' house, where the brethren receive them gladly (Acts 21:15-17).
The next day after arriving in Jerusalem, Paul goes to James and all the elders, telling them the things which God had done with the Gentiles. The elders glorify God and tell Paul to purify himself along with four others who are under a vow. This is to show the believing Jews, who have heard that Paul teaches contrary to Moses, that Paul also lives in observance of the law. The elders also tell Paul that they have advised the Gentiles to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, blood, strangled things, and sexual immorality. Paul purifies himself along with the four men for seven days (Acts 21:18-26).
Paul is arrested in the temple (Acts 21:27-36).
The Jews from Asia accuse Paul of teaching against the people and the law, and defiling the temple with Greeks. They drag Paul from the temple and try to kill him (Acts 21:27-31).
The tribune, with soldiers and centurions, run down to the crowd, which stops beating Paul. The tribune arrests, binds, and tries to question Paul, but brings him to the barracks because the crowd is too loud (Acts 21:32-36).
Paul is about to be put into the barracks but speaks to the people about his conversion (Acts 21:37-22:21)
The tribune thinks Paul is an Egyptian who led four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness, but Paul states that he is a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, and asks to speak to the people (Acts 21:37-40).
Paul addresses the hushed crowd in Hebrew (Acts 22:1-21).
Paul’s Jewish identity and education from Gamaliel (Acts 22:1-3)

Paul is put into the barracks and about to be flogged when he states his Roman citizenship (Acts 22:22-29).
After hearing Paul speak, the crowd resumes shouting for Paul to die, so the tribune orders Paul to be examined by flogging in the barracks (Acts 22:22-24).
When Paul is stretched out for the whips, Paul asks the centurion nearby whether it was lawful for them to flog an uncondemned Roman citizen. The centurion relays this to the tribune, who confirms Paul’s Roman citizenship, withdraws from flogging Paul, and becomes afraid (Acts 22:25-29).
Paul is examined before the council and high priest Ananias (Acts 22:30-23:10).
The tribune commands the chief priests and all the council to meet and sets Paul down before them (Acts 22:30).
The high priest Ananias commands those standing by Paul to strike him on the mouth when Paul addresses the council as “brothers” and maintains his good conscience towards God (Acts 23:1-2).
Paul rebukes Ananias, the high priest, for striking Paul against the law while Ananias judges Paul according to the law. Paul claims he did not know he reviled the high priest and quotes Jewish law (Acts 23:3-5; Ex 22:8).
Paul causes a great clamor between the Pharisee and Sadducees in the council by siding with the Pharisees and raising a point of dissension: resurrection (Acts 23:6-9).
The tribune commands the soldiers to return Paul to the barracks as the dissension becomes violent (Acts 23:10).
The following night, the Lord stands by Paul in the barracks, encourages Paul, and instructs him to testify of Jesus in Rome just as he did in Jerusalem (Acts 23:10-11; 2 Tim 4:17).
The Jews plot to kill Paul but Paul’s nephew alerts Paul (Acts 23:12-22).
More than forty Jews make an oath to taste no food nor drink until they have killed Paul. They tell the chief priests and elders to notify the tribune to bring Paul back before the council for further examination so that they can ambush and kill Paul while he goes near (Acts 23:12-15).
The son of Paul’s sister hears of the ambush and notifies Paul, who directs him to the tribune. The tribune listens to Paul’s nephew and charges him to tell no one that he has informed the tribune (Acts 23:16-22).
Paul is taken from Jerusalem to Caesarea to stand trial (Acts 23:23-26:32).
The tribune sends Paul to Caesarea along with a large group of military in order to bring him safely to Felix the governor. The soldiers accompany Paul as far as Antipatris and the horsemen take Paul to Caesarea (Acts 23:23-32).
Paul is taken to Caesarea and guarded in Herod's praetorium (Acts 23:33-35).
Paul appears before Felix, who puts off making a decision about Paul's case and leaves Paul in prison for two years (Acts 24:1-27).
Felix is succeeded by Porcius Festus, who goes to Jerusalem for no more than eight to ten days to hear the Jews' case against Paul. Festus returns to Caesarea and takes his seat on the tribunal, then questions Paul before the Jews, who have come from Jerusalem with Festus to Caesarea. Paul appeals to Caesar and Festus concedes (Acts 25:1-12).
Paul appears before Agrippa, who agrees that Paul is innocent (Acts 25:13-26:32).
Journey to Rome (Acts 27:1-28:16)
Paul the prisoner is sent from Caesarea to Rome but the ship is driven off course by a storm and shipwrecked on Malta
Paul begins his voyage from Caesarea to Rome under Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Cohort. With difficulty, they sail in a ship of Adramyttium to Sidon, then Myra in Lycia, then Cnidus, and then Fair Havens near Lasea (Acts 27:1-8).
Winter approaches and Paul advises the centurion and ship pilot that their voyage will be dangerous, but it is ignored. A nor'easter replaces a gentle south wind and the crew is forced to lighten the ship several times. After many stormy days without sun nor stars, and after many days without food, Paul stands and encourages the people on the ship, telling them that an angel of God said that Paul will appear before Caesar and that the people of the ship will be safe. Paul tells them that they must run aground on some island (Acts 27:9-26).
On the fourteenth night, the ship nears shallower waters and some sailors try to escape, but Paul tells the centurion and soldiers that the sailors must stay with the ship in order for all to be saved. They listen and let the ship's boat drift away. Close to dawn, Paul encourages them again and tells all 276 on the ship to eat. Then they all throw the remaining wheat overboard to lighten the ship. When day comes, they approach an island beach but the ship hits a reef and they are all forced to swim, some using planks or pieces of the ship, to the island Malta (Acts 27:27-44).
At Malta, Paul is bitten by a snake but suffers no harm, causing the islanders to think that Paul is a god (Acts 28:1-6).
Paul prays for and heals Publius' father and all the islanders who had diseases (Acts 28:7-10).
Paul the prisoner and those traveling with him sail from Malta to Rome
After three months on Malta, Paul and those traveling with him sail towards Rome. They stop by Syracuse for three days, go on to Rhegium, then two days later to Puteoli where they find brethren and stay for seven days before going to Rome (Acts 28:11-14).
Paul arrives in Rome, is greeted by Roman Christians and is allowed to live by himself but with a soldier guarding him (Acts 28:14-16).
Paul calls together the local leaders of the Jews and tells them that he is in Rome to appeal to Caesar even though he is an innocent prisoner, and that the Romans even agree about this. The Jewish leaders in Rome say that they have not received any bad reports about Paul from Judea. They are interested to hear what Paul says about the "sect" of Jesus because they have only heard that it is spoken against, everywhere. They go listen to Paul speak at his lodging and Paul expounds to them from morning to evening, some believing and some disbelieving. Paul stays in Rome for two years, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance (Acts 28:17-31).
Paul writes Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon, possibly while under house arrest in Rome, possibly through a scribe (Eph 3:1; 4:1; 6:20; Phil 1:12–13; Col 1:24; 4:18; Phm 1:1)

1 Cor 6:12 – "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything.
1 Cor 6:14 – And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.
1 Cor 7:10 – To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband
1 Cor 7:12 – To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.
1 Cor 7:28 – But if you do marry, you have not sinned, and if a betrothed woman marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that.
1 Cor 8:8 – Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.
1 Cor 8:13 – Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
1 Cor 9:1 – Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord?
1 Cor 9:2 – If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
1 Cor 9:3 – This is my defense to those who would examine me.
1 Cor 9:6 – Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?
1 Cor 9:10 – Does he not speak entirely for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop.
1 Cor 9:11 – If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?
1 Cor 9:12 – If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.
1 Cor 9:15 – But I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting.
1 Cor 9:16 – For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
1 Cor 9:18 – What then is my reward? That in my preaching I may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.
1 Cor 9:25 – Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.
1 Cor 9:26 – So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air.
1 Cor 9:27 – But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
1 Cor 10:1 – I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
1 Cor 10:6 – Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did.
1 Cor 10:14 – Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
1 Cor 10:29 – I do not mean your conscience, but his. For why should my liberty be determined by someone else's conscience?
1 Cor 10:30 – If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?
1 Cor 11:1 – Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
1 Cor 11:2 – Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you.
1 Cor 11:16 – If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do the churches of God.
1 Cor 11:23 – For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,
1 Cor 11:33 – So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another–
1 Cor 12:13 – For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body–Jews or Greeks, slaves or free–and all were made to drink of one Spirit.
1 Cor 12:23 – and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty,
1 Cor 12:24 – which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it,
1 Cor 13:3 – If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
1 Cor 14:11 – but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.
1 Cor 14:14 – For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful.
1 Cor 14:19 – Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
1 Cor 14:39 – So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
1 Cor 15:3 – For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
1 Cor 15:9 – For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
1 Cor 15:10 – But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.
1 Cor 15:11 – Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
1 Cor 15:14 – And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.
1 Cor 15:30 – Why am I in danger every hour?
1 Cor 15:32 – What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."
1 Cor 15:52 – in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
1 Cor 15:57 – But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Cor 15:58 – Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
1 Cor 16:4 – If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.
1 Cor 16:6 – and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go.
1 Cor 16:9 – for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
1 Cor 16:24 – My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
2 Cor 1:4 – who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
2 Cor 1:5 – For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.
2 Cor 1:6 – If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.
2 Cor 1:7 – Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.
2 Cor 1:8 – For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself.
2 Cor 1:10 – He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.
2 Cor 1:11 – You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.
2 Cor 1:12 – For our boast is this: the testimony of our conscience that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.
2 Cor 1:14 – just as you did partially acknowledge us, that on the day of our Lord Jesus you will boast of us as we will boast of you.
2 Cor 1:17 – Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans according to the flesh, ready to say "Yes, yes" and "No, no" at the same time?
2 Cor 1:18 – As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.
2 Cor 1:19 – For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but in him it is always Yes.
2 Cor 1:20 – For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.
2 Cor 1:21 – And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us,
2 Cor 1:22 – and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
2 Cor 1:23 – But I call God to witness against me–it was to spare you that I refrained from coming again to Corinth.
2 Cor 2:2 – For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?
2 Cor 2:3 – And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.
2 Cor 2:5 – Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure–not to put it too severely–to all of you.
2 Cor 2:10 – Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,
2 Cor 2:12 – When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though a door was opened for me in the Lord,
2 Cor 2:13 – my spirit was not at rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia.
2 Cor 2:14 – But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.
2 Cor 3:2 – You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all.
2 Cor 3:3 – And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
2 Cor 3:5 – Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,
2 Cor 3:6 – who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
2 Cor 3:18 – And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
2 Cor 4:3 – And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing.
2 Cor 4:7 – But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
2 Cor 4:10 – always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
2 Cor 4:11 – For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
2 Cor 4:12 – So death is at work in us, but life in you.
2 Cor 4:13 – Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, "I believed, and so I spoke," we also believe, and so we also speak,
2 Cor 4:14 – knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.
2 Cor 4:16 – So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day.
2 Cor 4:17 – For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
2 Cor 4:18 – as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Cor 5:1 – For we know that if the tent, which is our earthly home, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 Cor 5:2 – For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling,
2 Cor 5:5 – He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
2 Cor 5:10 – For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
2 Cor 5:12 – We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart.
2 Cor 5:14 – For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died;
2 Cor 5:16 – From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer.
2 Cor 5:18 – All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;
2 Cor 5:19 – that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
2 Cor 5:20 – Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
2 Cor 5:21 – For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
2 Cor 6:11 – We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide open.
2 Cor 6:12 – You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections.
2 Cor 6:16 – What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2 Cor 7:2 – Make room in your hearts for us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.
2 Cor 7:3 – I do not say this to condemn you, for I said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.
2 Cor 7:4 – I am acting with great boldness toward you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with comfort. In all our affliction, I am overflowing with joy.
2 Cor 7:5 – For even when we came into Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were afflicted at every turn–fighting without and fear within.
2 Cor 7:6 – But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
2 Cor 7:7 – and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted by you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
2 Cor 7:9 – As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.
2 Cor 7:12 – So although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the one who did the wrong, nor for the sake of the one who suffered the wrong, but in order that your earnestness for us might be revealed to you in the sight of God.
2 Cor 7:13 – Therefore we are comforted. And besides our own comfort, we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
2 Cor 7:14 – For whatever boasts I made to him about you, I was not put to shame. But just as everything we said to you was true, so also our boasting before Titus has proved true.
2 Cor 8:4 – begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints–
2 Cor 8:5 – and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.
2 Cor 8:6 – Accordingly, we urged Titus that as he had started, so he should complete among you this act of grace.
2 Cor 8:7 – But as you excel in everything–in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you–see that you excel in this act of grace also.
2 Cor 8:9 – For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
2 Cor 8:19 – And not only that, but he has been appointed by the churches to travel with us as we carry out this act of grace that is being ministered by us, for the glory of the Lord himself and to show our good will.
2 Cor 8:20 – We take this course so that no one should blame us about this generous gift that is being administered by us,
2 Cor 8:22 – And with them we are sending our brother whom we have often tested and found earnest in many matters, but who is now more earnest than ever because of his great confidence in you.
2 Cor 8:23 – As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for your benefit. And as for our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.
2 Cor 8:24 – So give proof before the churches of your love and of our boasting about you to these men.
2 Cor 9:1 – Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the ministry for the saints,
2 Cor 9:3 – But I am sending the brothers so that our boasting about you may not prove vain in this matter, so that you may be ready, as I said you would be.
2 Cor 9:4 – Otherwise, if some Macedonians come with me and find that you are not ready, we would be humiliated–to say nothing of you–for being so confident.
2 Cor 9:11 – You will be enriched in every way for all your generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
2 Cor 10:1 – I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ–I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away!–
2 Cor 10:2 – I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of walking according to the flesh.
2 Cor 10:4 – For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
2 Cor 10:7 – Look at what is before your eyes. If anyone is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that just as he is Christ's, so also are we.
2 Cor 10:8 – For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed.
2 Cor 10:13 – But we will not boast beyond limits, but will boast only with regard to the area of influence God assigned to us, to reach even to you.
2 Cor 10:15 – We do not boast beyond limit in the labors of others. But our hope is that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you may be greatly enlarged,
2 Cor 11:1 – I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me!
2 Cor 11:9 – And when I was with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.
2 Cor 11:10 – As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.
2 Cor 11:12 – And what I do I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.
2 Cor 11:16 – I repeat, let no one think me foolish. But even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
2 Cor 11:21 – To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast of–I am speaking as a fool–I also dare to boast of that.
2 Cor 11:23 – Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one–I am talking like a madman–with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death.
2 Cor 11:28 – And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches.
2 Cor 11:29 – Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?
2 Cor 11:32 – At Damascus, the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of Damascus in order to seize me,
2 Cor 12:6 – Though if I should wish to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.
2 Cor 12:7 – So to keep me from being too elated by the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from being too elated.
2 Cor 12:8 – Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me.
2 Cor 12:9 – But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Cor 12:11 – I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not at all inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing.
2 Cor 12:13 – For in what were you less favored than the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong!
2 Cor 12:15 – I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?
2 Cor 12:16 – But granting that I myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you say, and got the better of you by deceit.
2 Cor 12:21 – I fear that when I come again my God may humble me before you, and I may have to mourn over many of those who sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual immorality, and sensuality that they have practiced.
2 Cor 13:3 – since you seek proof that Christ is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.
2 Cor 13:4 – For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God.
2 Cor 13:6 – I hope you will find out that we have not failed the test.
2 Cor 13:7 – But we pray to God that you may not do wrong–not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may do what is right, though we may seem to have failed.
2 Cor 13:9 – For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. Your restoration is what we pray for.
2 Cor 13:10 – For this reason I write these things while I am away from you, that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
Gal 1:2 – and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:
Gal 1:4 – who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
Gal 1:8 – But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:11 – For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel.
Gal 1:12 – For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
Gal 1:14 – And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.
Gal 1:15 – But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace,
Gal 1:16 – was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;
Gal 1:24 – And they glorified God because of me.
Gal 2:3 – But even Titus, who was with me, was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.
Gal 2:4 – Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in–who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery–
Gal 2:6 – And from those who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)–those, I say, who seemed influential added nothing to me.
Gal 2:8 – (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles),
Gal 2:9 – and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
Gal 2:15 – We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners;
Gal 2:16 – yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
Gal 2:19 – For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.
Gal 2:20 – I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Gal 3:13 – Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us–for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"–
Gal 3:24 – So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.
Gal 4:3 – In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world.
Gal 4:6 – And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
Gal 4:12 – Brothers, I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong.
Gal 4:14 – and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
Gal 4:15 – What then has become of the blessing you felt? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have gouged out your eyes and given them to me.
Gal 4:18 – It is always good to be made much of for a good purpose, and not only when I am present with you,
Gal 4:19 – my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!
Gal 4:20 – I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
Gal 4:21 – Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law?
Gal 4:26 – But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
Gal 5:1 – For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Gal 5:2 – Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you.
Gal 5:5 – For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.
Gal 5:10 – I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is.
Gal 5:11 – But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.
Gal 6:14 – But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Gal 6:17 – From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
Eph 1:3 – Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,
Eph 1:4 – even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
Eph 1:5 – he predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,
Eph 1:6 – to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.
Eph 1:8 – which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight
Eph 1:9 – making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ
Eph 1:12 – so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.
Eph 1:14 – who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Eph 1:16 – I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
Eph 1:17 – that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,
Eph 1:19 – and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might
Eph 2:3 – among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
Eph 2:4 – But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
Eph 2:5 – even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ–by grace you have been saved–
Eph 2:7 – so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:14 – For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility
Eph 3:1 – For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles–
Eph 3:2 – assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you,
Eph 3:3 – how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly.
Eph 3:4 – When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ,
Eph 3:7 – Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power.
Eph 3:8 – To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
Eph 3:13 – So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.
Eph 3:14 – For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
Eph 3:20 – Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,
Eph 4:1 – I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called,
Eph 4:7 – But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.
Eph 5:2 – And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Eph 5:32 – This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.
Eph 6:12 – For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Eph 6:19 – and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel,
Eph 6:20 – for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
Eph 6:21 – So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything.
Eph 6:22 – I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.
Eph 6:24 – Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible.
Phil 1:2 – Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Phil 1:3 – I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
Phil 1:4 – always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy,
Phil 1:7 – It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.
Phil 1:8 – For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.
Phil 1:12 – I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,
Phil 1:13 – so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ.
Phil 1:14 – And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
Phil 1:17 – The former proclaim Christ out of rivalry, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment.
Phil 1:19 – for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance,
Phil 1:20 – as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.
Phil 1:21 – For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Phil 1:22 – If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell.
Phil 1:26 – so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.
Phil 1:30 – engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.
Phil 2:2 – complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.
Phil 2:12 – Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
Phil 2:16 – holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
Phil 2:18 – Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
Phil 2:22 – But you know Timothy's proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.
Phil 2:23 – I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me,
Phil 2:25 – I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need,
Phil 2:27 – Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
Phil 2:30 – for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.
Phil 3:1 – Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.
Phil 3:3 – For we are the real circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh–
Phil 3:4 – though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:
Phil 3:7 – But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
Phil 3:8 – Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ
Phil 3:13 – Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
Phil 3:17 – Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.
Phil 3:20 – But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Phil 3:21 – who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
Phil 4:1 – Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.
Phil 4:3 – Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women, who have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
Phil 4:9 – What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me–practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Phil 4:10 – I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity.
Phil 4:11 – Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
Phil 4:13 – I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Phil 4:14 – Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble.
Phil 4:15 – And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only.
Phil 4:16 – Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again.
Phil 4:19 – And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:21 – Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
Col 1:3 – We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
Col 1:7 – just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf
Col 1:8 – and has made known to us your love in the Spirit.
Col 1:9 – And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Col 1:13 – He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,
Col 1:23 – if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
Col 1:24 – Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church,
Col 1:25 – of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,
Col 1:28 – Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.
Col 1:29 – For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.
Col 2:1 – For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face,
Col 2:13 – And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
Col 2:14 – by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.
Col 4:3 – At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison–
Col 4:4 – that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.
Col 4:7 – Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord.
Col 4:8 – I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts,
Col 4:10 – Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions–if he comes to you, welcome him),
Col 4:11 – and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.
Col 4:18 – I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
1 Thess 1:2 – We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers,
1 Thess 1:5 – because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.
1 Thess 1:6 – And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,
1 Thess 1:8 – For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything.
1 Thess 1:9 – For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,
1 Thess 1:10 – and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
1 Thess 2:1 – For you yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you was not in vain.
1 Thess 2:3 – For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity or any attempt to deceive,
1 Thess 2:4 – but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.
1 Thess 2:8 – So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.
1 Thess 2:9 – For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
1 Thess 2:13 – And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.
1 Thess 2:15 – who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind
1 Thess 2:16 – by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved–so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But God's wrath has come upon them at last!
1 Thess 2:17 – But since we were torn away from you, brothers, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face,
1 Thess 2:18 – because we wanted to come to you–I, Paul, again and again–but Satan hindered us.
1 Thess 2:19 – For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?
1 Thess 2:20 – For you are our glory and joy.
1 Thess 3:2 – and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's coworker in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith,
1 Thess 3:5 – For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain.
1 Thess 3:6 – But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, as we long to see you–
1 Thess 3:7 – for this reason, brothers, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith.
1 Thess 3:9 – For what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God,
1 Thess 3:11 – Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you,
1 Thess 3:12 – and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you,
1 Thess 4:1 – Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to live and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more.
1 Thess 4:7 – For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness.
1 Thess 4:15 – For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
1 Thess 4:17 – Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
1 Thess 5:8 – But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
1 Thess 5:9 – For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Thess 5:10 – who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him.
1 Thess 5:23 – Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thess 5:25 – Brothers, pray for us.
2 Thess 1:4 – Therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring.
2 Thess 1:7 – and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels
2 Thess 1:8 – in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
2 Thess 1:10 – when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.
2 Thess 1:12 – so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thess 2:1 – Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers,
2 Thess 2:2 – not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.
2 Thess 2:13 – But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.
2 Thess 2:14 – To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thess 2:15 – So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.
2 Thess 2:16 – Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
2 Thess 3:1 – Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you,
2 Thess 3:6 – Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.
2 Thess 3:7 – For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not idle when we were with you,
2 Thess 3:9 – It was not because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves an example to imitate.
2 Thess 3:14 – If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed.
1 Tim 1:1 – Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
1 Tim 1:11 – in accordance with the glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
1 Tim 1:12 – I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service,
1 Tim 1:15 – The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.
1 Tim 1:16 – But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.
1 Tim 2:7 – For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
1 Tim 6:17 – As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
2 Tim 1:3 – I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day.
2 Tim 1:6 – For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands,
2 Tim 1:7 – for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
2 Tim 1:8 – Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,
2 Tim 1:9 – who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,
2 Tim 1:10 – and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
2 Tim 1:11 – for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher,
2 Tim 1:12 – which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.
2 Tim 1:13 – Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
2 Tim 1:14 – By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.
2 Tim 1:15 – You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
2 Tim 1:16 – May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains,
2 Tim 1:17 – but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me earnestly and found me–
2 Tim 2:1 – You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus,
2 Tim 2:2 – and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
2 Tim 2:8 – Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel,
2 Tim 2:12 – if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us;
2 Tim 3:10 – You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness,
2 Tim 3:11 – my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra–which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me.
2 Tim 4:6 – For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
2 Tim 4:8 – Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.
2 Tim 4:9 – Do your best to come to me soon.
2 Tim 4:10 – For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
2 Tim 4:11 – Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry.
2 Tim 4:14 – Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
2 Tim 4:16 – At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them!
2 Tim 4:17 – But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion's mouth.
2 Tim 4:18 – The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Tit 1:3 – and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior;
Tit 1:5 – This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you–
Tit 2:8 – and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.
Tit 2:12 – training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,
Tit 2:14 – who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
Tit 3:3 – For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.
Tit 3:5 – he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
Tit 3:6 – whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
Tit 3:12 – When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.
Tit 3:15 – All who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
Phm 1:1 – Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker
Phm 1:2 – and Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier, and the church in your house:
Phm 1:3 – Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Phm 1:4 – I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers,
Phm 1:6 – and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.
Phm 1:11 – (Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.)
Phm 1:13 – I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel,
Phm 1:16 – no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a beloved brother–especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
Phm 1:17 – So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me.
Phm 1:18 – If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.
Phm 1:19 – I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it–to say nothing of your owing me even your own self.
Phm 1:20 – Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
Phm 1:22 – At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be graciously given to you.
Phm 1:23 – Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you,
Phm 1:24 – and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
