| 1 | 30 | 29 | Gen 30:29 NIV | Jacob said to him, "You know how I have worked for you and how your livestock has fared under my care. |
| 1 | 30 | 30 | Gen 30:30 NIV | The little you had before I came has increased greatly, and the LORD has blessed you wherever I have been. But now, when may I do something for my own household?" |
| 1 | 30 | 31 | Gen 30:31 NIV | "What shall I give you?" he asked. "Don't give me anything," Jacob replied. "But if you will do this one thing for me, I will go on tending your flocks and watching over them: |
| 1 | 30 | 32 | Gen 30:32 NIV | Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb and every spotted or speckled goat. They will be my wages. |
| 1 | 30 | 32 | Gen 30:32 NIV | Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb and every spotted or speckled goat. They will be my wages. |

| 1 | 31 | 1 | Gen 31:1 NIV | Jacob heard that Laban's sons were saying, "Jacob has taken everything our father owned and has gained all this wealth from what belonged to our father." |
| 1 | 31 | 7 | Gen 31:7 NIV | yet your father has cheated me by changing my wages ten times. However, God has not allowed him to harm me. |
| 1 | 31 | 8 | Gen 31:8 NIV | If he said, 'The speckled ones will be your wages,' then all the flocks gave birth to speckled young; and if he said, 'The streaked ones will be your wages,' then all the flocks bore streaked young. |

| 1 | 31 | 11 | Gen 31:11 NIV | The angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob.' I answered, 'Here I am.' |
| 1 | 31 | 12 | Gen 31:12 NIV | And he said, 'Look up and see that all the male goats mating with the flock are streaked, speckled or spotted, for I have seen all that Laban has been doing to you. |
| 1 | 31 | 14 | Gen 31:14 NIV | Then Rachel and Leah replied, "Do we still have any share in the inheritance of our father's estate? |
| 1 | 31 | 15 | Gen 31:15 NIV | Does he not regard us as foreigners? Not only has he sold us, but he has used up what was paid for us. |
| 1 | 31 | 16 | Gen 31:16 NIV | Surely all the wealth that God took away from our father belongs to us and our children. So do whatever God has told you." |
| 1 | 31 | 19 | Gen 31:19 NIV | When Laban had gone to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father's household gods. |
| 1 | 31 | 20 | Gen 31:20 NIV | Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him he was running away. |
| 1 | 31 | 30 | Gen 31:30 NIV | Now you have gone off because you longed to return to your father's house. But why did you steal my gods?" |
| 1 | 31 | 31 | Gen 31:31 NIV | Jacob answered Laban, "I was afraid, because I thought you would take your daughters away from me by force. |
| 1 | 31 | 32 | Gen 31:32 NIV | But if you find anyone who has your gods, he shall not live. In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself whether there is anything of yours here with me; and if so, take it." Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the gods. |
| 1 | 31 | 39 | Gen 31:39 NIV | I did not bring you animals torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for whatever was stolen by day or night. |
| 1 | 31 | 41 | Gen 31:41 NIV | It was like this for the twenty years I was in your household. I worked for you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks, and you changed my wages ten times. |
| 1 | 31 | 42 | Gen 31:42 NIV | If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would surely have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my hardship and the toil of my hands, and last night he rebuked you." |
| 1 | 32 | 17 | Gen 32:17 NIV | He instructed the one in the lead: "When my brother Esau meets you and asks, 'To whom do you belong, and where are you going, and who owns all these animals in front of you?' |
| 1 | 32 | 18 | Gen 32:18 NIV | then you are to say, 'They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift sent to my lord Esau, and he is coming behind us.'" |
| 1 | 32 | 19 | Gen 32:19 NIV | He also instructed the second, the third and all the others who followed the herds: "You are to say the same thing to Esau when you meet him. |
| 1 | 32 | 20 | Gen 32:20 NIV | And be sure to say, 'Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.'" For he thought, "I will pacify him with these gifts I am sending on ahead; later, when I see him, perhaps he will receive me." |
| 1 | 33 | 10 | Gen 33:10 NIV | "No, please!" said Jacob. "If I have found favor in your eyes, accept this gift from me. For to see your face is like seeing the face of God, now that you have received me favorably. |
| 1 | 33 | 11 | Gen 33:11 NIV | Please accept the present that was brought to you, for God has been gracious to me and I have all I need." And because Jacob insisted, Esau accepted it. |
| 1 | 33 | 19 | Gen 33:19 NIV | For a hundred pieces of silver, he bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, the plot of ground where he pitched his tent. |
| 1 | 34 | 10 | Gen 34:10 NIV | You can settle among us; the land is open to you. Live in it, trade in it, and acquire property in it." |
| 1 | 34 | 11 | Gen 34:11 NIV | Then Shechem said to Dinah's father and brothers, "Let me find favor in your eyes, and I will give you whatever you ask. |
| 1 | 34 | 12 | Gen 34:12 NIV | Make the price for the bride and the gift I am to bring as great as you like, and I'll pay whatever you ask me. Only give me the girl as my wife." |
| 1 | 36 | 6 | Gen 36:6 NIV | Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan, and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob. |
| 1 | 36 | 7 | Gen 36:7 NIV | Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock. |
| 1 | 37 | 26 | Gen 37:26 NIV | Judah said to his brothers, "What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood? |
| 1 | 37 | 27 | Gen 37:27 NIV | Come, let's sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother, our own flesh and blood." His brothers agreed. |
| 1 | 37 | 28 | Gen 37:28 NIV | So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt. |
| 1 | 37 | 36 | Gen 37:36 NIV | Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh's officials, the captain of the guard. |
| 1 | 38 | 20 | Gen 38:20 NIV | Meanwhile Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite in order to get his pledge back from the woman, but he did not find her. |
| 1 | 39 | 2 | Gen 39:2 NIV | The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. |
| 1 | 39 | 3 | Gen 39:3 NIV | When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, |
| 1 | 39 | 4 | Gen 39:4 NIV | Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. |
| 1 | 39 | 5 | Gen 39:5 NIV | From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. |
| 1 | 39 | 6 | Gen 39:6 NIV | So he left in Joseph's care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, |
| 1 | 39 | 8 | Gen 39:8 NIV | But he refused. "With me in charge," he told her, "my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. |
| 1 | 39 | 23 | Gen 39:23 NIV | The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph's care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. |
| 1 | 41 | 34 | Gen 41:34 NIV | Let Pharaoh appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance. |
| 1 | 41 | 35 | Gen 41:35 NIV | They should collect all the food of these good years that are coming and store up the grain under the authority of Pharaoh, to be kept in the cities for food. |
| 1 | 41 | 36 | Gen 41:36 NIV | This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt, so that the country may not be ruined by the famine." |
| 1 | 41 | 52 | Gen 41:52 NIV | The second son he named Ephraim and said, "It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering." |
| 1 | 41 | 56 | Gen 41:56 NIV | When the famine had spread over the whole country, Joseph opened the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe throughout Egypt. |
| 1 | 41 | 57 | Gen 41:57 NIV | And all the countries came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the world. |
| 1 | 42 | 2 | Gen 42:2 NIV | He continued, "I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die." |
| 1 | 42 | 3 | Gen 42:3 NIV | Then ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt. |
| 1 | 42 | 6 | Gen 42:6 NIV | Now Joseph was the governor of the land, the one who sold grain to all its people. So when Joseph's brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground. |
| 1 | 42 | 7 | Gen 42:7 NIV | As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger and spoke harshly to them. "Where do you come from?" he asked. "From the land of Canaan," they replied, "to buy food." |
| 1 | 42 | 8 | Gen 42:8 NIV | Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him. |
| 1 | 42 | 9 | Gen 42:9 NIV | Then he remembered his dreams about them and said to them, "You are spies! You have come to see where our land is unprotected." |
| 1 | 42 | 10 | Gen 42:10 NIV | "No, my lord," they answered. "Your servants have come to buy food. |
| 1 | 42 | 25 | Gen 42:25 NIV | Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to put each man's silver back in his sack, and to give them provisions for their journey. After this was done for them, |
| 1 | 42 | 26 | Gen 42:26 NIV | they loaded their grain on their donkeys and left. |
| 1 | 42 | 27 | Gen 42:27 NIV | At the place where they stopped for the night one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver in the mouth of his sack. |
| 1 | 42 | 28 | Gen 42:28 NIV | "My silver has been returned," he said to his brothers. "Here it is in my sack." Their hearts sank and they turned to each other trembling and said, "What is this that God has done to us?" |
| 1 | 42 | 35 | Gen 42:35 NIV | As they were emptying their sacks, there in each man's sack was his pouch of silver! When they and their father saw the money pouches, they were frightened. |
| 1 | 43 | 4 | Gen 43:4 NIV | If you will send our brother along with us, we will go down and buy food for you. |
| 1 | 43 | 9 | Gen 43:9 NIV | I myself will guarantee his safety; you can hold me personally responsible for him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him here before you, I will bear the blame before you all my life. |
| 1 | 43 | 12 | Gen 43:12 NIV | Take double the amount of silver with you, for you must return the silver that was put back into the mouths of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake. |
| 1 | 43 | 15 | Gen 43:15 NIV | So the men took the gifts and double the amount of silver, and Benjamin also. They hurried down to Egypt and presented themselves to Joseph. |
| 1 | 43 | 18 | Gen 43:18 NIV | Now the men were frightened when they were taken to his house. They thought, "We were brought here because of the silver that was put back into our sacks the first time. He wants to attack us and overpower us and seize us as slaves and take our donkeys." |
| 1 | 43 | 19 | Gen 43:19 NIV | So they went up to Joseph's steward and spoke to him at the entrance to the house. |
| 1 | 43 | 20 | Gen 43:20 NIV | "Please, sir," they said, "we came down here the first time to buy food. |
| 1 | 43 | 21 | Gen 43:21 NIV | But at the place where we stopped for the night we opened our sacks and each of us found his silver--the exact weight--in the mouth of his sack. So we have brought it back with us. |
| 1 | 43 | 22 | Gen 43:22 NIV | We have also brought additional silver with us to buy food. We don't know who put our silver in our sacks." |
| 1 | 43 | 23 | Gen 43:23 NIV | "It's all right," he said. "Don't be afraid. Your God, the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; I received your silver." Then he brought Simeon out to them. |
| 1 | 43 | 26 | Gen 43:26 NIV | When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts they had brought into the house, and they bowed down before him to the ground. |
| 1 | 44 | 1 | Gen 44:1 NIV | Now Joseph gave these instructions to the steward of his house: "Fill the men's sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each man's silver in the mouth of his sack. |
| 1 | 44 | 2 | Gen 44:2 NIV | Then put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one's sack, along with the silver for his grain." And he did as Joseph said. |
| 1 | 44 | 8 | Gen 44:8 NIV | We even brought back to you from the land of Canaan the silver we found inside the mouths of our sacks. So why would we steal silver or gold from your master's house? |
| 1 | 44 | 32 | Gen 44:32 NIV | Your servant guaranteed the boy's safety to my father. I said, 'If I do not bring him back to you, I will bear the blame before you, my father, all my life!' |
| 1 | 45 | 17 | Gen 45:17 NIV | Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan, |
| 1 | 45 | 20 | Gen 45:20 NIV | Never mind about your belongings, because the best of all Egypt will be yours.'" |
| 1 | 45 | 22 | Gen 45:22 NIV | To each of them he gave new clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes. |
| 1 | 46 | 6 | Gen 46:6 NIV | They also took with them their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in Canaan, and Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt. |
| 1 | 47 | 11 | Gen 47:11 NIV | So Joseph settled his father and his brothers in Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh directed. |
| 1 | 47 | 14 | Gen 47:14 NIV | Joseph collected all the money that was to be found in Egypt and Canaan in payment for the grain they were buying, and he brought it to Pharaoh's palace. |
| 1 | 47 | 15 | Gen 47:15 NIV | When the money of the people of Egypt and Canaan was gone, all Egypt came to Joseph and said, "Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? Our money is used up." |
| 1 | 47 | 16 | Gen 47:16 NIV | "Then bring your livestock," said Joseph. "I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock, since your money is gone." |
| 1 | 47 | 17 | Gen 47:17 NIV | So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, their sheep and goats, their cattle and donkeys. And he brought them through that year with food in exchange for all their livestock. |
| 1 | 47 | 18 | Gen 47:18 NIV | When that year was over, they came to him the following year and said, "We cannot hide from our lord the fact that since our money is gone and our livestock belongs to you, there is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land. |
| 1 | 47 | 19 | Gen 47:19 NIV | Why should we perish before your eyes--we and our land as well? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we with our land will be in bondage to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate." |
| 1 | 47 | 20 | Gen 47:20 NIV | So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. The Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields, because the famine was too severe for them. The land became Pharaoh's, |
| 1 | 47 | 21 | Gen 47:21 NIV | and Joseph reduced the people to servitude, from one end of Egypt to the other. |
| 1 | 47 | 22 | Gen 47:22 NIV | However, he did not buy the land of the priests, because they received a regular allotment from Pharaoh and had food enough from the allotment Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell their land. |
| 1 | 47 | 23 | Gen 47:23 NIV | Joseph said to the people, "Now that I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you so you can plant the ground. |
| 1 | 47 | 24 | Gen 47:24 NIV | But when the crop comes in, give a fifth of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you may keep as seed for the fields and as food for yourselves and your households and your children." |
| 1 | 47 | 26 | Gen 47:26 NIV | So Joseph established it as a law concerning land in Egypt--still in force today--that a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh. It was only the land of the priests that did not become Pharaoh's. |
| 1 | 49 | 20 | Gen 49:20 NIV | "Asher's food will be rich; he will provide delicacies fit for a king. |
| 1 | 50 | 15 | Gen 50:15 NIV | When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?" |
| 2 | 2 | 9 | Exo 2:9 NIV | Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you." So the woman took the baby and nursed him. |
| 2 | 3 | 21 | Exo 3:21 NIV | "And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed. |
| 2 | 3 | 22 | Exo 3:22 NIV | Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians." |
| 2 | 6 | 8 | Exo 6:8 NIV | And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD.'" |
| 2 | 9 | 4 | Exo 9:4 NIV | But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt, so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.'" |
| 2 | 9 | 29 | Exo 9:29 NIV | Moses replied, "When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands in prayer to the LORD. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth is the Lord's. |
| 2 | 11 | 2 | Exo 11:2 NIV | Tell the people that men and women alike are to ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold." |
| 2 | 11 | 3 | Exo 11:3 NIV | The LORD made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt by Pharaoh's officials and by the people. |
| 2 | 12 | 35 | Exo 12:35 NIV | The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing. |
| 2 | 12 | 36 | Exo 12:36 NIV | The LORD had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians. |
| 2 | 12 | 43 | Exo 12:43 NIV | The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "These are the regulations for the Passover: "No foreigner is to eat of it. |
| 2 | 12 | 44 | Exo 12:44 NIV | Any slave you have bought may eat of it after you have circumcised him, |
| 2 | 16 | 4 | Exo 16:4 NIV | Then the LORD said to Moses, "I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. |
| 2 | 16 | 12 | Exo 16:12 NIV | "I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, 'At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.'" |
| 2 | 16 | 16 | Exo 16:16 NIV | This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Each one is to gather as much as he needs. Take an omer for each person you have in your tent.'" |
| 2 | 16 | 18 | Exo 16:18 NIV | And when they measured it by the omer, he who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little. Each one gathered as much as he needed. |
| 2 | 16 | 19 | Exo 16:19 NIV | Then Moses said to them, "No one is to keep any of it until morning." |
| 2 | 16 | 20 | Exo 16:20 NIV | However, some of them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was full of maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them. |
| 2 | 16 | 21 | Exo 16:21 NIV | Each morning everyone gathered as much as he needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away. |
| 2 | 16 | 27 | Exo 16:27 NIV | Nevertheless, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather it, but they found none. |
| 2 | 16 | 28 | Exo 16:28 NIV | Then the LORD said to Moses, "How long will you refuse to keep my commands and my instructions? |
| 2 | 16 | 32 | Exo 16:32 NIV | Moses said, "This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Take an omer of manna and keep it for the generations to come, so they can see the bread I gave you to eat in the desert when I brought you out of Egypt.'" |
| 2 | 17 | 2 | Exo 17:2 NIV | So they quarreled with Moses and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses replied, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the LORD to the test?" |
| 2 | 17 | 3 | Exo 17:3 NIV | But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, "Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?" |
| 2 | 17 | 6 | Exo 17:6 NIV | I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink." So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel. |
| 2 | 18 | 21 | Exo 18:21 NIV | But select capable men from all the people--men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain--and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. |
| 2 | 20 | 5 | Exo 20:5 NIV | You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, |

| 20 | 1 | 31 | Prov 1:31 NIV | they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. |

| 20 | 22 | 15 | Prov 22:15 NIV | Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him. |
| 20 | 22 | 16 | Prov 22:16 NIV | He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich--both come to poverty. |
| 20 | 22 | 22 | Prov 22:22 NIV | Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court, |
| 20 | 22 | 23 | Prov 22:23 NIV | for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who plunder them. |
| 20 | 22 | 24 | Prov 22:24 NIV | Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate with one easily angered, |
| 20 | 22 | 25 | Prov 22:25 NIV | or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared. |
| 20 | 22 | 26 | Prov 22:26 NIV | Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts; |

| 20 | 23 | 4 | Prov 23:4 NIV | Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. |
| 20 | 23 | 5 | Prov 23:5 NIV | Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle. |
| 20 | 23 | 10 | Prov 23:10 NIV | Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless, |

| 20 | 23 | 13 | Prov 23:13 NIV | Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die. |

| 20 | 23 | 17 | Prov 23:17 NIV | Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD. |
| 20 | 23 | 21 | Prov 23:21 NIV | for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags. |

| 20 | 24 | 1 | Prov 24:1 NIV | Do not envy wicked men, do not desire their company; |
| 20 | 24 | 3 | Prov 24:3 NIV | By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; |
| 20 | 24 | 4 | Prov 24:4 NIV | through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. |

| 20 | 24 | 19 | Prov 24:19 NIV | Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of the wicked, |
| 20 | 24 | 20 | Prov 24:20 NIV | for the evil man has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out. |
| 20 | 24 | 23 | Prov 24:23 NIV | These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judging is not good: |
| 20 | 24 | 27 | Prov 24:27 NIV | Finish your outdoor work and get your fields ready; after that, build your house. |
| 20 | 24 | 30 | Prov 24:30 NIV | I went past the field of the sluggard, past the vineyard of the man who lacks judgment; |
| 20 | 24 | 31 | Prov 24:31 NIV | thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins. |
| 20 | 24 | 32 | Prov 24:32 NIV | I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw: |
| 20 | 24 | 33 | Prov 24:33 NIV | A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-- |
| 20 | 24 | 34 | Prov 24:34 NIV | and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man. |
| 20 | 25 | 16 | Prov 25:16 NIV | If you find honey, eat just enough-- too much of it, and you will vomit. |
| 20 | 25 | 21 | Prov 25:21 NIV | If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. |
| 20 | 25 | 22 | Prov 25:22 NIV | In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you. |
| 20 | 25 | 28 | Prov 25:28 NIV | Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control. |
| 20 | 26 | 13 | Prov 26:13 NIV | The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!" |
| 20 | 26 | 14 | Prov 26:14 NIV | As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed. |
| 20 | 26 | 15 | Prov 26:15 NIV | The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth. |
| 20 | 26 | 16 | Prov 26:16 NIV | The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly. |
| 20 | 26 | 18 | Prov 26:18 NIV | Like a madman shooting firebrands or deadly arrows |
| 20 | 26 | 19 | Prov 26:19 NIV | is a man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I was only joking!" |
| 20 | 26 | 28 | Prov 26:28 NIV | A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin. |
| 20 | 27 | 1 | Prov 27:1 NIV | Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. |
| 20 | 27 | 7 | Prov 27:7 NIV | He who is full loathes honey, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet. |
| 20 | 27 | 9 | Prov 27:9 NIV | Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel. |
| 20 | 27 | 10 | Prov 27:10 NIV | Do not forsake your friend and the friend of your father, and do not go to your brother's house when disaster strikes you-- better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away. |
| 20 | 27 | 12 | Prov 27:12 NIV | The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it. |
| 20 | 27 | 13 | Prov 27:13 NIV | Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if he does it for a wayward woman. |
| 20 | 27 | 18 | Prov 27:18 NIV | He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored. |
| 20 | 27 | 23 | Prov 27:23 NIV | Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; |
| 20 | 27 | 24 | Prov 27:24 NIV | for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations. |
| 20 | 28 | 3 | Prov 28:3 NIV | A ruler who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no crops. |
| 20 | 28 | 6 | Prov 28:6 NIV | Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man whose ways are perverse. |
| 20 | 28 | 9 | Prov 28:9 NIV | If anyone turns a deaf ear to the law, even his prayers are detestable. |
| 20 | 28 | 11 | Prov 28:11 NIV | A rich man may be wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has discernment sees through him. |
| 20 | 28 | 12 | Prov 28:12 NIV | When the righteous triumph, there is great elation; but when the wicked rise to power, men go into hiding. |
| 20 | 28 | 13 | Prov 28:13 NIV | He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. |
| 20 | 28 | 16 | Prov 28:16 NIV | A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment, but he who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long life. |
| 20 | 28 | 18 | Prov 28:18 NIV | He whose walk is blameless is kept safe, but he whose ways are perverse will suddenly fall. |
| 20 | 28 | 19 | Prov 28:19 NIV | He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty. |
| 20 | 28 | 20 | Prov 28:20 NIV | A faithful man will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished. |
| 20 | 28 | 21 | Prov 28:21 NIV | To show partiality is not good-- yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread. |

| 20 | 29 | 2 | Prov 29:2 NIV | When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan. |
| 20 | 29 | 3 | Prov 29:3 NIV | A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth. |
| 20 | 29 | 4 | Prov 29:4 NIV | By justice a king gives a country stability, but one who is greedy for bribes tears it down. |
| 20 | 29 | 7 | Prov 29:7 NIV | The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern. |
| 20 | 29 | 13 | Prov 29:13 NIV | The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives sight to the eyes of both. |
| 20 | 29 | 15 | Prov 29:15 NIV | The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother. |
| 20 | 29 | 17 | Prov 29:17 NIV | Discipline your son, and he will give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul. |
| 20 | 29 | 23 | Prov 29:23 NIV | A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor. |
| 20 | 30 | 7 | Prov 30:7 NIV | "Two things I ask of you, O LORD; do not refuse me before I die: |
| 20 | 30 | 8 | Prov 30:8 NIV | Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. |
| 20 | 30 | 9 | Prov 30:9 NIV | Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the LORD?' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God. |
| 20 | 30 | 25 | Prov 30:25 NIV | Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer; |
| 20 | 31 | 7 | Prov 31:7 NIV | let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more. |
| 20 | 31 | 9 | Prov 31:9 NIV | Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." |
| 20 | 31 | 10 | Prov 31:10 NIV | A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. |
| 20 | 31 | 16 | Prov 31:16 NIV | She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. |
| 20 | 31 | 20 | Prov 31:20 NIV | She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. |
| 20 | 31 | 24 | Prov 31:24 NIV | She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. |
| 20 | 31 | 25 | Prov 31:25 NIV | She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. |
| 21 | 1 | 14 | Eccl 1:14 NIV | I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind. |
| 21 | 2 | 1 | Eccl 2:1 NIV | I thought in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good." But that also proved to be meaningless. |
| 21 | 2 | 8 | Eccl 2:8 NIV | I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired men and women singers, and a harem as well--the delights of the heart of man. |
| 21 | 2 | 9 | Eccl 2:9 NIV | I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me. |
| 21 | 2 | 10 | Eccl 2:10 NIV | I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor. |
| 21 | 2 | 11 | Eccl 2:11 NIV | Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun. |
| 21 | 2 | 18 | Eccl 2:18 NIV | I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. |
| 21 | 2 | 20 | Eccl 2:20 NIV | So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun. |
| 21 | 2 | 21 | Eccl 2:21 NIV | For a man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then he must leave all he owns to someone who has not worked for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. |
| 21 | 2 | 22 | Eccl 2:22 NIV | What does a man get for all the toil and anxious striving with which he labors under the sun? |
| 21 | 2 | 23 | Eccl 2:23 NIV | All his days his work is pain and grief; even at night his mind does not rest. This too is meaningless. |
| 21 | 2 | 26 | Eccl 2:26 NIV | To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. |
| 21 | 3 | 13 | Eccl 3:13 NIV | That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil--this is the gift of God. |
| 21 | 4 | 4 | Eccl 4:4 NIV | And I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man's envy of his neighbor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. |
| 21 | 4 | 7 | Eccl 4:7 NIV | Again I saw something meaningless under the sun: |
| 21 | 4 | 8 | Eccl 4:8 NIV | There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. "For whom am I toiling," he asked, "and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?" This too is meaningless-- a miserable business! |
| 21 | 4 | 9 | Eccl 4:9 NIV | Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: |
| 21 | 4 | 13 | Eccl 4:13 NIV | Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to take warning. |
| 21 | 5 | 4 | Eccl 5:4 NIV | When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. |
| 21 | 5 | 5 | Eccl 5:5 NIV | It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it. |
| 21 | 5 | 8 | Eccl 5:8 NIV | If you see the poor oppressed in a district, and justice and rights denied, do not be surprised at such things; for one official is eyed by a higher one, and over them both are others higher still. |
| 21 | 5 | 10 | Eccl 5:10 NIV | Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless. |
| 21 | 5 | 12 | Eccl 5:12 NIV | The sleep of a laborer is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of a rich man permits him no sleep. |
| 21 | 5 | 13 | Eccl 5:13 NIV | I have seen a grievous evil under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owner, |
| 21 | 5 | 14 | Eccl 5:14 NIV | or wealth lost through some misfortune, so that when he has a son there is nothing left for him. |
| 21 | 5 | 15 | Eccl 5:15 NIV | Naked a man comes from his mother's womb, and as he comes, so he departs. He takes nothing from his labor that he can carry in his hand. |
| 21 | 5 | 18 | Eccl 5:18 NIV | Then I realized that it is good and proper for a man to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in his toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given him--for this is his lot. |
| 21 | 5 | 19 | Eccl 5:19 NIV | Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work--this is a gift of God. |
| 21 | 6 | 1 | Eccl 6:1 NIV | I have seen another evil under the sun, and it weighs heavily on men: |
| 21 | 6 | 2 | Eccl 6:2 NIV | God gives a man wealth, possessions and honor, so that he lacks nothing his heart desires, but God does not enable him to enjoy them, and a stranger enjoys them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil. |
| 21 | 6 | 3 | Eccl 6:3 NIV | A man may have a hundred children and live many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he cannot enjoy his prosperity and does not receive proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he. |
| 21 | 6 | 4 | Eccl 6:4 NIV | It comes without meaning, it departs in darkness, and in darkness its name is shrouded. |
| 21 | 6 | 7 | Eccl 6:7 NIV | All man's efforts are for his mouth, yet his appetite is never satisfied. |
| 21 | 6 | 8 | Eccl 6:8 NIV | What advantage has a wise man over a fool? What does a poor man gain by knowing how to conduct himself before others? |
| 21 | 7 | 7 | Eccl 7:7 NIV | Extortion turns a wise man into a fool, and a bribe corrupts the heart. |
| 21 | 7 | 12 | Eccl 7:12 NIV | Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: that wisdom preserves the life of its possessor. |
| 21 | 7 | 14 | Eccl 7:14 NIV | When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future. |
| 21 | 7 | 17 | Eccl 7:17 NIV | Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool-- why die before your time? |
| 21 | 7 | 18 | Eccl 7:18 NIV | It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. The man who fears God will avoid all extremes. |
| 21 | 8 | 10 | Eccl 8:10 NIV | Then too, I saw the wicked buried--those who used to come and go from the holy place and receive praise in the city where they did this. This too is meaningless. |
| 21 | 8 | 12 | Eccl 8:12 NIV | Although a wicked man commits a hundred crimes and still lives a long time, I know that it will go better with God-fearing men, who are reverent before God. |
| 21 | 9 | 10 | Eccl 9:10 NIV | Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. |
| 21 | 9 | 15 | Eccl 9:15 NIV | Now there lived in that city a man poor but wise, and he saved the city by his wisdom. But nobody remembered that poor man. |
| 21 | 9 | 16 | Eccl 9:16 NIV | So I said, "Wisdom is better than strength." But the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded. |
| 21 | 10 | 6 | Eccl 10:6 NIV | Fools are put in many high positions, while the rich occupy the low ones. |
| 21 | 10 | 19 | Eccl 10:19 NIV | A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything. |
| 21 | 11 | 1 | Eccl 11:1 NIV | Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. |
| 21 | 11 | 2 | Eccl 11:2 NIV | Give portions to seven, yes to eight, for you do not know what disaster may come upon the land. |
| 21 | 11 | 6 | Eccl 11:6 NIV | Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let not your hands be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well. |
| 21 | 12 | 13 | Eccl 12:13 NIV | Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. |
| 21 | 12 | 14 | Eccl 12:14 NIV | For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. |
| 23 | 1 | 19 | Isa 1:19 NIV | If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land; |
| 23 | 1 | 23 | Isa 1:23 NIV | Your rulers are rebels, companions of thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow's case does not come before them. |
| 23 | 2 | 7 | Isa 2:7 NIV | Their land is full of silver and gold; there is no end to their treasures. Their land is full of horses; there is no end to their chariots. |
| 23 | 2 | 17 | Isa 2:17 NIV | The arrogance of man will be brought low and the pride of men humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day, |
| 23 | 3 | 15 | Isa 3:15 NIV | What do you mean by crushing my people and grinding the faces of the poor?" declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty. |
| 23 | 5 | 22 | Isa 5:22 NIV | Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks, |
| 23 | 5 | 23 | Isa 5:23 NIV | who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent. |
| 23 | 10 | 1 | Isa 10:1 NIV | Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, |
| 23 | 10 | 2 | Isa 10:2 NIV | to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. |
| 23 | 10 | 14 | Isa 10:14 NIV | As one reaches into a nest, so my hand reached for the wealth of the nations; as men gather abandoned eggs, so I gathered all the countries; not one flapped a wing, or opened its mouth to chirp.'" |
| 23 | 11 | 4 | Isa 11:4 NIV | but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. |
| 23 | 13 | 17 | Isa 13:17 NIV | See, I will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver and have no delight in gold. |
| 23 | 16 | 4 | Isa 16:4 NIV | Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you; be their shelter from the destroyer." The oppressor will come to an end, and destruction will cease; the aggressor will vanish from the land. |
| 23 | 24 | 2 | Isa 24:2 NIV | it will be the same for priest as for people, for master as for servant, for mistress as for maid, for seller as for buyer, for borrower as for lender, for debtor as for creditor. |
| 23 | 25 | 4 | Isa 25:4 NIV | You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall |
| 23 | 30 | 6 | Isa 30:6 NIV | An oracle concerning the animals of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lions and lionesses, of adders and darting snakes, the envoys carry their riches on donkeys' backs, their treasures on the humps of camels, to that unprofitable nation, |
| 23 | 30 | 23 | Isa 30:23 NIV | He will also send you rain for the seed you sow in the ground, and the food that comes from the land will be rich and plentiful. In that day your cattle will graze in broad meadows. |
| 23 | 33 | 15 | Isa 33:15 NIV | He who walks righteously and speaks what is right, who rejects gain from extortion and keeps his hand from accepting bribes, who stops his ears against plots of murder and shuts his eyes against contemplating evil-- |
| 23 | 39 | 4 | Isa 39:4 NIV | The prophet asked, "What did they see in your palace?" "They saw everything in my palace," Hezekiah said. "There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them." |
| 23 | 39 | 6 | Isa 39:6 NIV | The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your fathers have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD. |

| 23 | 41 | 17 | Isa 41:17 NIV | "The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. |
| 23 | 43 | 23 | Isa 43:23 NIV | You have not brought me sheep for burnt offerings, nor honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with grain offerings nor wearied you with demands for incense. |
| 23 | 43 | 24 | Isa 43:24 NIV | You have not bought any fragrant calamus for me, or lavished on me the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins and wearied me with your offenses. |
| 23 | 45 | 3 | Isa 45:3 NIV | I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name. |
| 23 | 45 | 13 | Isa 45:13 NIV | I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild my city and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward, says the LORD Almighty." |

| 40 | 16 | 24 | Mat 16:24 NIV | Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. |
| 40 | 16 | 25 | Mat 16:25 NIV | For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. |
| 40 | 16 | 26 | Mat 16:26 NIV | What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? |
| 40 | 17 | 24 | Mat 17:24 NIV | After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, "Doesn't your teacher pay the temple tax?" |
| 40 | 17 | 25 | Mat 17:25 NIV | "Yes, he does," he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. "What do you think, Simon?" he asked. "From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes--from their own sons or from others?" |
| 40 | 17 | 26 | Mat 17:26 NIV | "From others," Peter answered. "Then the sons are exempt," Jesus said to him. |
| 40 | 17 | 27 | Mat 17:27 NIV | "But so that we may not offend them, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours." |
| 40 | 18 | 4 | Mat 18:4 NIV | Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. |
| 40 | 18 | 15 | Mat 18:15 NIV | "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. |
| 40 | 18 | 16 | Mat 18:16 NIV | But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' |
| 40 | 18 | 17 | Mat 18:17 NIV | If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector. |
| 40 | 18 | 23 | Mat 18:23 NIV | "Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. |
| 40 | 18 | 24 | Mat 18:24 NIV | As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. |
| 40 | 18 | 25 | Mat 18:25 NIV | Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. |
| 40 | 19 | 21 | Mat 19:21 NIV | Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." |
| 40 | 19 | 23 | Mat 19:23 NIV | Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. |
| 40 | 19 | 27 | Mat 19:27 NIV | Peter answered him, "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?" |
| 40 | 19 | 28 | Mat 19:28 NIV | Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. |
| 40 | 19 | 29 | Mat 19:29 NIV | And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. |
| 40 | 20 | 1 | Mat 20:1 NIV | "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. |
| 40 | 20 | 2 | Mat 20:2 NIV | He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. |
| 40 | 20 | 3 | Mat 20:3 NIV | "About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. |
| 40 | 20 | 4 | Mat 20:4 NIV | He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.' |
| 40 | 20 | 5 | Mat 20:5 NIV | So they went. "He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. |
| 40 | 20 | 6 | Mat 20:6 NIV | About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?' |
| 40 | 20 | 7 | Mat 20:7 NIV | "'Because no one has hired us,' they answered. "He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.' |
| 40 | 20 | 8 | Mat 20:8 NIV | "When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.' |
| 40 | 20 | 9 | Mat 20:9 NIV | "The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. |
| 40 | 20 | 10 | Mat 20:10 NIV | So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. |
| 40 | 20 | 11 | Mat 20:11 NIV | When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. |
| 40 | 20 | 12 | Mat 20:12 NIV | 'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.' |
| 40 | 20 | 13 | Mat 20:13 NIV | "But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? |
| 40 | 20 | 14 | Mat 20:14 NIV | Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. |
| 40 | 20 | 15 | Mat 20:15 NIV | Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?' |
| 40 | 20 | 16 | Mat 20:16 NIV | "So the last will be first, and the first will be last." |
| 40 | 20 | 25 | Mat 20:25 NIV | Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. |
| 40 | 20 | 26 | Mat 20:26 NIV | Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, |
| 40 | 20 | 27 | Mat 20:27 NIV | and whoever wants to be first must be your slave-- |
| 40 | 21 | 12 | Mat 21:12 NIV | Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. |
| 40 | 21 | 13 | Mat 21:13 NIV | "It is written," he said to them, "'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it a 'den of robbers.'" |
| 40 | 21 | 21 | Mat 21:21 NIV | Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. |
| 40 | 21 | 22 | Mat 21:22 NIV | If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." |
| 40 | 21 | 33 | Mat 21:33 NIV | "Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and went away on a journey. |
| 40 | 21 | 34 | Mat 21:34 NIV | When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit. |
| 40 | 21 | 35 | Mat 21:35 NIV | "The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. |
| 40 | 21 | 36 | Mat 21:36 NIV | Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. |
| 40 | 21 | 37 | Mat 21:37 NIV | Last of all, he sent his son to them. 'They will respect my son,' he said. |
| 40 | 21 | 38 | Mat 21:38 NIV | "But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and take his inheritance.' |
| 40 | 21 | 39 | Mat 21:39 NIV | So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. |
| 40 | 21 | 40 | Mat 21:40 NIV | "Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?" |
| 40 | 21 | 41 | Mat 21:41 NIV | "He will bring those wretches to a wretched end," they replied, "and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time." |
| 40 | 22 | 17 | Mat 22:17 NIV | Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" |
| 40 | 22 | 18 | Mat 22:18 NIV | But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? |
| 40 | 22 | 19 | Mat 22:19 NIV | Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, |
| 40 | 22 | 20 | Mat 22:20 NIV | and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?" |
| 40 | 22 | 21 | Mat 22:21 NIV | "Caesar's," they replied. Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." |
| 40 | 23 | 12 | Mat 23:12 NIV | For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. |
| 40 | 23 | 16 | Mat 23:16 NIV | "Woe to you, blind guides! You say, 'If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.' |
| 40 | 23 | 17 | Mat 23:17 NIV | You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? |
| 40 | 23 | 23 | Mat 23:23 NIV | "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. |
| 40 | 24 | 46 | Mat 24:46 NIV | It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. |
| 40 | 24 | 47 | Mat 24:47 NIV | I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. |
| 40 | 25 | 9 | Mat 25:9 NIV | "'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.' |
| 40 | 25 | 10 | Mat 25:10 NIV | "But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. |
| 40 | 25 | 14 | Mat 25:14 NIV | "Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them. |
| 40 | 25 | 15 | Mat 25:15 NIV | To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. |
| 40 | 25 | 16 | Mat 25:16 NIV | The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more. |
| 40 | 25 | 17 | Mat 25:17 NIV | So also, the one with the two talents gained two more. |
| 40 | 25 | 18 | Mat 25:18 NIV | But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money. |
| 40 | 25 | 19 | Mat 25:19 NIV | "After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. |
| 40 | 25 | 20 | Mat 25:20 NIV | The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.' |
| 40 | 25 | 21 | Mat 25:21 NIV | "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' |
| 40 | 25 | 22 | Mat 25:22 NIV | "The man with the two talents also came. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.' |
| 40 | 25 | 23 | Mat 25:23 NIV | "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' |
| 40 | 25 | 24 | Mat 25:24 NIV | "Then the man who had received the one talent came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. |
| 40 | 25 | 25 | Mat 25:25 NIV | So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.' |
| 40 | 25 | 26 | Mat 25:26 NIV | "His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? |
| 40 | 25 | 27 | Mat 25:27 NIV | Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. |
| 40 | 25 | 28 | Mat 25:28 NIV | "'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. |
| 40 | 25 | 29 | Mat 25:29 NIV | For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. |
| 40 | 25 | 30 | Mat 25:30 NIV | And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' |
| 40 | 25 | 34 | Mat 25:34 NIV | "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. |
| 40 | 25 | 35 | Mat 25:35 NIV | For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, |
| 40 | 25 | 36 | Mat 25:36 NIV | I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' |
| 40 | 25 | 37 | Mat 25:37 NIV | "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? |
| 40 | 25 | 38 | Mat 25:38 NIV | When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? |
| 40 | 25 | 39 | Mat 25:39 NIV | When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' |
| 40 | 25 | 40 | Mat 25:40 NIV | "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' |
| 40 | 25 | 41 | Mat 25:41 NIV | "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. |
| 40 | 25 | 42 | Mat 25:42 NIV | For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, |
| 40 | 25 | 43 | Mat 25:43 NIV | I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' |
| 40 | 25 | 44 | Mat 25:44 NIV | "They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' |
| 40 | 25 | 45 | Mat 25:45 NIV | "He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' |
| 40 | 26 | 7 | Mat 26:7 NIV | a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. |
| 40 | 26 | 8 | Mat 26:8 NIV | When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked. |
| 40 | 26 | 9 | Mat 26:9 NIV | "This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor." |
| 40 | 26 | 10 | Mat 26:10 NIV | Aware of this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. |
| 40 | 26 | 11 | Mat 26:11 NIV | The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. |
| 40 | 26 | 12 | Mat 26:12 NIV | When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. |
| 40 | 26 | 15 | Mat 26:15 NIV | and asked, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" So they counted out for him thirty silver coins. |
| 40 | 27 | 3 | Mat 27:3 NIV | When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. |
| 40 | 27 | 4 | Mat 27:4 NIV | "I have sinned," he said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood." "What is that to us?" they replied. "That's your responsibility." |
| 40 | 27 | 5 | Mat 27:5 NIV | So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself. |
| 40 | 27 | 6 | Mat 27:6 NIV | The chief priests picked up the coins and said, "It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money." |
| 40 | 27 | 7 | Mat 27:7 NIV | So they decided to use the money to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners. |
| 40 | 27 | 8 | Mat 27:8 NIV | That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. |
| 40 | 27 | 9 | Mat 27:9 NIV | Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "They took the thirty silver coins, the price set on him by the people of Israel, |
| 40 | 27 | 10 | Mat 27:10 NIV | and they used them to buy the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me." |
| 40 | 28 | 12 | Mat 28:12 NIV | When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, |
| 40 | 28 | 13 | Mat 28:13 NIV | telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.' |
| 40 | 28 | 14 | Mat 28:14 NIV | If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble." |
| 40 | 28 | 15 | Mat 28:15 NIV | So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day. |
| 41 | 3 | 27 | Mark 3:27 NIV | In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can rob his house. |
| 41 | 4 | 18 | Mark 4:18 NIV | Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; |
| 41 | 4 | 19 | Mark 4:19 NIV | but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. |
| 41 | 4 | 24 | Mark 4:24 NIV | "Consider carefully what you hear," he continued. "With the measure you use, it will be measured to you--and even more. |
| 41 | 4 | 25 | Mark 4:25 NIV | Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him." |
| 41 | 6 | 8 | Mark 6:8 NIV | These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except a staff--no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. |
| 41 | 6 | 37 | Mark 6:37 NIV | But he answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "That would take eight months of a man's wages ! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?" |
| 41 | 6 | 41 | Mark 6:41 NIV | Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. |
| 41 | 7 | 11 | Mark 7:11 NIV | But you say that if a man says to his father or mother: 'Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban' that is, a gift devoted to God |
| 41 | 7 | 12 | Mark 7:12 NIV | then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother. |
| 41 | 8 | 36 | Mark 8:36 NIV | What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? |
| 41 | 8 | 37 | Mark 8:37 NIV | Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? |
| 41 | 9 | 35 | Mark 9:35 NIV | Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all." |
| 41 | 10 | 19 | Mark 10:19 NIV | You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.'" |
| 41 | 10 | 21 | Mark 10:21 NIV | Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." |
| 41 | 10 | 22 | Mark 10:22 NIV | At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. |
| 41 | 10 | 23 | Mark 10:23 NIV | Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!" |
| 41 | 10 | 24 | Mark 10:24 NIV | The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! |
| 41 | 10 | 25 | Mark 10:25 NIV | It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." |
| 41 | 10 | 26 | Mark 10:26 NIV | The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, "Who then can be saved?" |
| 41 | 10 | 29 | Mark 10:29 NIV | "I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel |
| 41 | 10 | 30 | Mark 10:30 NIV | will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields--and with them, persecutions and in the age to come, eternal life. |
| 41 | 11 | 15 | Mark 11:15 NIV | On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple area and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, |
| 41 | 11 | 24 | Mark 11:24 NIV | Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. |
| 41 | 11 | 25 | Mark 11:25 NIV | And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." |
| 41 | 12 | 1 | Mark 12:1 NIV | He then began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and went away on a journey. |
| 41 | 12 | 2 | Mark 12:2 NIV | At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. |
| 41 | 12 | 3 | Mark 12:3 NIV | But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. |
| 41 | 12 | 4 | Mark 12:4 NIV | Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. |
| 41 | 12 | 5 | Mark 12:5 NIV | He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed. |
| 41 | 12 | 6 | Mark 12:6 NIV | "He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, 'They will respect my son.' |
| 41 | 12 | 7 | Mark 12:7 NIV | "But the tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' |
| 41 | 12 | 8 | Mark 12:8 NIV | So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. |
| 41 | 12 | 9 | Mark 12:9 NIV | "What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others. |
| 41 | 12 | 14 | Mark 12:14 NIV | They came to him and said, "Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? |
| 41 | 12 | 15 | Mark 12:15 NIV | Should we pay or shouldn't we?" But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. "Why are you trying to trap me?" he asked. "Bring me a denarius and let me look at it." |
| 41 | 12 | 16 | Mark 12:16 NIV | They brought the coin, and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied. |
| 41 | 12 | 17 | Mark 12:17 NIV | Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." And they were amazed at him. |
| 41 | 12 | 41 | Mark 12:41 NIV | Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. |
| 41 | 12 | 42 | Mark 12:42 NIV | But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. |
| 41 | 12 | 43 | Mark 12:43 NIV | Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. |
| 41 | 12 | 44 | Mark 12:44 NIV | They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything--all she had to live on." |
| 41 | 14 | 3 | Mark 14:3 NIV | While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head. |
| 41 | 14 | 4 | Mark 14:4 NIV | Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, "Why this waste of perfume? |
| 41 | 14 | 5 | Mark 14:5 NIV | It could have been sold for more than a year's wages and the money given to the poor." And they rebuked her harshly. |
| 41 | 14 | 6 | Mark 14:6 NIV | "Leave her alone," said Jesus. "Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. |
| 41 | 14 | 7 | Mark 14:7 NIV | The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. |
| 41 | 14 | 10 | Mark 14:10 NIV | Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them. |
| 41 | 14 | 11 | Mark 14:11 NIV | They were delighted to hear this and promised to give him money. So he watched for an opportunity to hand him over. |
| 42 | 1 | 53 | Luke 1:53 NIV | He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. |
| 42 | 3 | 11 | Luke 3:11 NIV | John answered, "The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same." |
| 42 | 3 | 12 | Luke 3:12 NIV | Tax collectors also came to be baptized. "Teacher," they asked, "what should we do?" |
| 42 | 3 | 13 | Luke 3:13 NIV | "Don't collect any more than you are required to," he told them. |
| 42 | 3 | 14 | Luke 3:14 NIV | Then some soldiers asked him, "And what should we do?" He replied, "Don't extort money and don't accuse people falsely--be content with your pay." |
| 42 | 4 | 18 | Luke 4:18 NIV | "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, |
| 42 | 5 | 11 | Luke 5:11 NIV | So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him. |
| 42 | 5 | 27 | Luke 5:27 NIV | After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. "Follow me," Jesus said to him, |
| 42 | 5 | 28 | Luke 5:28 NIV | and Levi got up, left everything and followed him. |
| 42 | 6 | 20 | Luke 6:20 NIV | Looking at his disciples, he said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. |
| 42 | 6 | 24 | Luke 6:24 NIV | "But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. |
| 42 | 6 | 29 | Luke 6:29 NIV | If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. |
| 42 | 6 | 30 | Luke 6:30 NIV | Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. |
| 42 | 6 | 31 | Luke 6:31 NIV | Do to others as you would have them do to you. |
| 42 | 6 | 34 | Luke 6:34 NIV | And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. |
| 42 | 6 | 35 | Luke 6:35 NIV | But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. |
| 42 | 6 | 38 | Luke 6:38 NIV | Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." |
| 42 | 6 | 41 | Luke 6:41 NIV | "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? |
| 42 | 7 | 22 | Luke 7:22 NIV | So he replied to the messengers, "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. |
| 42 | 7 | 25 | Luke 7:25 NIV | If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces. |
| 42 | 7 | 41 | Luke 7:41 NIV | "Two men owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. |
| 42 | 7 | 42 | Luke 7:42 NIV | Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he canceled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?" |
| 42 | 8 | 14 | Luke 8:14 NIV | The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. |
| 42 | 8 | 15 | Luke 8:15 NIV | But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop. |
| 42 | 8 | 18 | Luke 8:18 NIV | Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him." |
| 42 | 9 | 3 | Luke 9:3 NIV | He told them: "Take nothing for the journey--no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra tunic. |
| 42 | 9 | 13 | Luke 9:13 NIV | He replied, "You give them something to eat." They answered, "We have only five loaves of bread and two fish--unless we go and buy food for all this crowd." |
| 42 | 9 | 23 | Luke 9:23 NIV | Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. |
| 42 | 9 | 25 | Luke 9:25 NIV | What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self? |
| 42 | 9 | 26 | Luke 9:26 NIV | If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. |
| 42 | 9 | 48 | Luke 9:48 NIV | Then he said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all--he is the greatest." |
| 42 | 9 | 59 | Luke 9:59 NIV | He said to another man, "Follow me." But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father." |
| 42 | 9 | 60 | Luke 9:60 NIV | Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God." |
| 42 | 9 | 61 | Luke 9:61 NIV | Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family." |
| 42 | 9 | 62 | Luke 9:62 NIV | Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." |
| 42 | 10 | 4 | Luke 10:4 NIV | Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. |
| 42 | 10 | 7 | Luke 10:7 NIV | Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house. |
| 42 | 10 | 35 | Luke 10:35 NIV | The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.' |
| 42 | 11 | 13 | Luke 11:13 NIV | If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" |
| 42 | 11 | 42 | Luke 11:42 NIV | "Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone. |
| 42 | 12 | 6 | Luke 12:6 NIV | Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies ? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. |
| 42 | 12 | 13 | Luke 12:13 NIV | Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." |
| 42 | 12 | 14 | Luke 12:14 NIV | Jesus replied, "Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?" |
| 42 | 12 | 15 | Luke 12:15 NIV | Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." |
| 42 | 12 | 16 | Luke 12:16 NIV | And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. |
| 42 | 12 | 17 | Luke 12:17 NIV | He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' |
| 42 | 12 | 18 | Luke 12:18 NIV | "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. |
| 42 | 12 | 19 | Luke 12:19 NIV | And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."' |
| 42 | 12 | 20 | Luke 12:20 NIV | "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' |
| 42 | 12 | 21 | Luke 12:21 NIV | "This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God." |
| 42 | 12 | 22 | Luke 12:22 NIV | Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. |
| 42 | 12 | 23 | Luke 12:23 NIV | Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. |
| 42 | 12 | 25 | Luke 12:25 NIV | Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ? |
| 42 | 12 | 29 | Luke 12:29 NIV | And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. |
| 42 | 12 | 30 | Luke 12:30 NIV | For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. |
| 42 | 12 | 31 | Luke 12:31 NIV | But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. |
| 42 | 12 | 33 | Luke 12:33 NIV | Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. |
| 42 | 12 | 34 | Luke 12:34 NIV | For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. |
| 42 | 12 | 42 | Luke 12:42 NIV | The Lord answered, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? |
| 42 | 12 | 44 | Luke 12:44 NIV | I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. |
| 42 | 12 | 48 | Luke 12:48 NIV | But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. |
| 42 | 12 | 58 | Luke 12:58 NIV | As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled to him on the way, or he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. |
| 42 | 12 | 59 | Luke 12:59 NIV | I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny." |
| 42 | 14 | 11 | Luke 14:11 NIV | For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." |
| 42 | 14 | 12 | Luke 14:12 NIV | Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. |
| 42 | 14 | 13 | Luke 14:13 NIV | But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, |
| 42 | 14 | 14 | Luke 14:14 NIV | and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." |
| 42 | 14 | 28 | Luke 14:28 NIV | "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? |
| 42 | 14 | 29 | Luke 14:29 NIV | For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, |
| 42 | 14 | 30 | Luke 14:30 NIV | saying, 'This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.' |
| 42 | 14 | 33 | Luke 14:33 NIV | In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple. |
| 42 | 15 | 8 | Luke 15:8 NIV | "Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? |
| 42 | 15 | 9 | Luke 15:9 NIV | And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' |
| 42 | 15 | 11 | Luke 15:11 NIV | Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. |
| 42 | 15 | 12 | Luke 15:12 NIV | The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them. |
| 42 | 15 | 13 | Luke 15:13 NIV | "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. |
| 42 | 15 | 14 | Luke 15:14 NIV | After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. |
| 42 | 15 | 15 | Luke 15:15 NIV | So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. |
| 42 | 15 | 16 | Luke 15:16 NIV | He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. |
| 42 | 15 | 17 | Luke 15:17 NIV | "When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! |
| 42 | 15 | 18 | Luke 15:18 NIV | I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. |
| 42 | 15 | 19 | Luke 15:19 NIV | I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' |
| 42 | 15 | 20 | Luke 15:20 NIV | So he got up and went to his father. "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. |
| 42 | 15 | 21 | Luke 15:21 NIV | "The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' |
| 42 | 15 | 22 | Luke 15:22 NIV | "But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. |
| 42 | 15 | 23 | Luke 15:23 NIV | Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. |
| 42 | 15 | 24 | Luke 15:24 NIV | For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. |
| 42 | 16 | 1 | Luke 16:1 NIV | Jesus told his disciples: "There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. |
| 42 | 16 | 2 | Luke 16:2 NIV | So he called him in and asked him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.' |
| 42 | 16 | 3 | Luke 16:3 NIV | "The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg-- |
| 42 | 16 | 4 | Luke 16:4 NIV | I know what I'll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.' |
| 42 | 16 | 5 | Luke 16:5 NIV | "So he called in each one of his master's debtors. He asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' |
| 42 | 16 | 6 | Luke 16:6 NIV | "'Eight hundred gallons of olive oil,' he replied. "The manager told him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred.' |
| 42 | 16 | 7 | Luke 16:7 NIV | "Then he asked the second, 'And how much do you owe?' "'A thousand bushels of wheat,' he replied. "He told him, 'Take your bill and make it eight hundred.' |
| 42 | 16 | 8 | Luke 16:8 NIV | "The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light. |
| 42 | 16 | 9 | Luke 16:9 NIV | I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. |
| 42 | 16 | 10 | Luke 16:10 NIV | "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. |
| 42 | 16 | 11 | Luke 16:11 NIV | So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? |
| 42 | 16 | 12 | Luke 16:12 NIV | And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own? |
| 42 | 16 | 13 | Luke 16:13 NIV | "No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." |
| 42 | 16 | 14 | Luke 16:14 NIV | The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. |
| 42 | 16 | 19 | Luke 16:19 NIV | "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. |
| 42 | 16 | 20 | Luke 16:20 NIV | At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores |
| 42 | 16 | 21 | Luke 16:21 NIV | and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. |
| 42 | 16 | 22 | Luke 16:22 NIV | "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. |
| 42 | 16 | 23 | Luke 16:23 NIV | In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. |
| 42 | 16 | 24 | Luke 16:24 NIV | So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' |
| 42 | 16 | 25 | Luke 16:25 NIV | "But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. |
| 42 | 17 | 3 | Luke 17:3 NIV | So watch yourselves. "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. |
| 42 | 17 | 31 | Luke 17:31 NIV | On that day no one who is on the roof of his house, with his goods inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. |
| 42 | 18 | 10 | Luke 18:10 NIV | "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. |
| 42 | 18 | 11 | Luke 18:11 NIV | The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men--robbers, evildoers, adulterers--or even like this tax collector. |
| 42 | 18 | 12 | Luke 18:12 NIV | I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.' |
| 42 | 18 | 13 | Luke 18:13 NIV | "But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' |
| 42 | 18 | 14 | Luke 18:14 NIV | "I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." |
| 42 | 18 | 22 | Luke 18:22 NIV | When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." |
| 42 | 18 | 23 | Luke 18:23 NIV | When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth. |
| 42 | 18 | 24 | Luke 18:24 NIV | Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! |
| 42 | 18 | 25 | Luke 18:25 NIV | Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." |
| 42 | 18 | 28 | Luke 18:28 NIV | Peter said to him, "We have left all we had to follow you!" |
| 42 | 18 | 29 | Luke 18:29 NIV | "I tell you the truth," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God |
| 42 | 18 | 30 | Luke 18:30 NIV | will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life." |
| 42 | 19 | 8 | Luke 19:8 NIV | But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount." |
| 42 | 19 | 9 | Luke 19:9 NIV | Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. |
| 42 | 19 | 13 | Luke 19:13 NIV | So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. 'Put this money to work,' he said, 'until I come back.' |
| 42 | 19 | 14 | Luke 19:14 NIV | "But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, 'We don't want this man to be our king.' |
| 42 | 19 | 15 | Luke 19:15 NIV | "He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it. |
| 42 | 19 | 16 | Luke 19:16 NIV | "The first one came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned ten more.' |
| 42 | 19 | 17 | Luke 19:17 NIV | "'Well done, my good servant!' his master replied. 'Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.' |
| 42 | 19 | 18 | Luke 19:18 NIV | "The second came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned five more.' |
| 42 | 19 | 19 | Luke 19:19 NIV | "His master answered, 'You take charge of five cities.' |
| 42 | 19 | 20 | Luke 19:20 NIV | "Then another servant came and said, 'Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. |
| 42 | 19 | 21 | Luke 19:21 NIV | I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.' |
| 42 | 19 | 22 | Luke 19:22 NIV | "His master replied, 'I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? |
| 42 | 19 | 23 | Luke 19:23 NIV | Why then didn't you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?' |
| 42 | 19 | 24 | Luke 19:24 NIV | "Then he said to those standing by, 'Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.' |
| 42 | 19 | 25 | Luke 19:25 NIV | "'Sir,' they said, 'he already has ten!' |
| 42 | 19 | 26 | Luke 19:26 NIV | "He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away. |
| 42 | 19 | 45 | Luke 19:45 NIV | Then he entered the temple area and began driving out those who were selling. |
| 42 | 19 | 46 | Luke 19:46 NIV | "It is written," he said to them, "'My house will be a house of prayer' ; but you have made it 'a den of robbers.'" |
| 42 | 20 | 9 | Luke 20:9 NIV | He went on to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time. |
| 42 | 20 | 10 | Luke 20:10 NIV | At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. |
| 42 | 20 | 11 | Luke 20:11 NIV | He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. |
| 42 | 20 | 12 | Luke 20:12 NIV | He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out. |
| 42 | 20 | 13 | Luke 20:13 NIV | "Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love; perhaps they will respect him.' |

| 46 | r 3 | 23 | 1 Cor 3:23 NIV | and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God. |

| 46 | r 9 | 7 | 1 Cor 9:7 NIV | Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk? |
| 46 | r 9 | 9 | 1 Cor 9:9 NIV | For it is written in the Law of Moses: "Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain." Is it about oxen that God is concerned? |
| 46 | r 9 | 10 | 1 Cor 9:10 NIV | Surely he says this for us, doesn't he? Yes, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they ought to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest. |

| 46 | r 15 | 23 | 1 Cor 15:23 NIV | But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. |
| 46 | r 15 | 32 | 1 Cor 15:32 NIV | If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." |
| 46 | r 15 | 33 | 1 Cor 15:33 NIV | Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character." |
| 46 | r 16 | 1 | 1 Cor 16:1 NIV | Now about the collection for God's people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. |
| 46 | r 16 | 2 | 1 Cor 16:2 NIV | On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. |
| 47 | r 2 | 17 | 2 Cor 2:17 NIV | Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God. |
| 47 | r 6 | 4 | 2 Cor 6:4 NIV | Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; |
| 47 | r 6 | 10 | 2 Cor 6:10 NIV | sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. |
| 47 | r 6 | 14 | 2 Cor 6:14 NIV | Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? |
| 47 | r 6 | 15 | 2 Cor 6:15 NIV | What harmony is there between Christ and Belial ? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? |
| 47 | r 8 | 1 | 2 Cor 8:1 NIV | And now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. |
| 47 | r 8 | 2 | 2 Cor 8:2 NIV | Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. |
| 47 | r 8 | 3 | 2 Cor 8:3 NIV | For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, |
| 47 | r 8 | 4 | 2 Cor 8:4 NIV | they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints. |
| 47 | r 8 | 5 | 2 Cor 8:5 NIV | And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with God's will. |
| 47 | r 8 | 9 | 2 Cor 8:9 NIV | For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. |
| 47 | r 8 | 11 | 2 Cor 8:11 NIV | Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means. |
| 47 | r 8 | 12 | 2 Cor 8:12 NIV | For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have. |
| 47 | r 8 | 13 | 2 Cor 8:13 NIV | Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. |
| 47 | r 8 | 14 | 2 Cor 8:14 NIV | At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will be equality, |
| 47 | r 8 | 15 | 2 Cor 8:15 NIV | as it is written: "He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little." |
| 47 | r 9 | 6 | 2 Cor 9:6 NIV | Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. |
| 47 | r 9 | 7 | 2 Cor 9:7 NIV | Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. |
| 47 | r 9 | 8 | 2 Cor 9:8 NIV | And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. |
| 47 | r 9 | 9 | 2 Cor 9:9 NIV | As it is written: "He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." |
| 47 | r 9 | 10 | 2 Cor 9:10 NIV | Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. |
| 47 | r 9 | 11 | 2 Cor 9:11 NIV | You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. |
| 47 | r 9 | 12 | 2 Cor 9:12 NIV | This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. |
| 47 | r 9 | 13 | 2 Cor 9:13 NIV | Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. |
| 47 | r 11 | 7 | 2 Cor 11:7 NIV | Was it a sin for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God to you free of charge? |
| 47 | r 11 | 8 | 2 Cor 11:8 NIV | I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so as to serve you. |
| 47 | r 11 | 9 | 2 Cor 11:9 NIV | And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so. |
| 47 | r 12 | 14 | 2 Cor 12:14 NIV | Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. |
| 48 | 2 | 10 | Gal 2:10 NIV | All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do. |
| 48 | 4 | 1 | Gal 4:1 NIV | What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. |
| 48 | 4 | 7 | Gal 4:7 NIV | So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir. |
| 48 | 6 | 6 | Gal 6:6 NIV | Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor. |
| 48 | 6 | 9 | Gal 6:9 NIV | Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. |
| 49 | 4 | 14 | Eph 4:14 NIV | Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. |
| 49 | 4 | 28 | Eph 4:28 NIV | He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need. |
| 49 | 5 | 3 | Eph 5:3 NIV | But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. |
| 49 | 5 | 5 | Eph 5:5 NIV | For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person--such a man is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. |
| 49 | 6 | 4 | Eph 6:4 NIV | Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. |
| 50 | 1 | 10 | Phil 1:10 NIV | so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, |
| 50 | 2 | 3 | Phil 2:3 NIV | Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. |
| 50 | 3 | 8 | Phil 3:8 NIV | What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ |
| 50 | 3 | 18 | Phil 3:18 NIV | For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. |
| 50 | 3 | 19 | Phil 3:19 NIV | Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. |
| 50 | 4 | 6 | Phil 4:6 NIV | Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. |
| 50 | 4 | 11 | Phil 4:11 NIV | I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. |
| 50 | 4 | 12 | Phil 4:12 NIV | I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. |
| 50 | 4 | 13 | Phil 4:13 NIV | I can do everything through him who gives me strength. |
| 50 | 4 | 14 | Phil 4:14 NIV | Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. |
| 50 | 4 | 15 | Phil 4:15 NIV | Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; |
| 50 | 4 | 16 | Phil 4:16 NIV | for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and again when I was in need. |
| 50 | 4 | 17 | Phil 4:17 NIV | Not that I am looking for a gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account. |
| 50 | 4 | 18 | Phil 4:18 NIV | I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. |
| 50 | 4 | 19 | Phil 4:19 NIV | And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. |
| 51 | 2 | 8 | Col 2:8 NIV | See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. |
| 51 | 2 | 9 | Col 2:9 NIV | For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, |
| 51 | 2 | 10 | Col 2:10 NIV | and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. |
| 51 | 2 | 13 | Col 2:13 NIV | When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, |
| 51 | 2 | 14 | Col 2:14 NIV | having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. |
| 51 | 2 | 16 | Col 2:16 NIV | Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. |
| 51 | 2 | 23 | Col 2:23 NIV | Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence. |
| 51 | 3 | 2 | Col 3:2 NIV | Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. |
| 51 | 3 | 3 | Col 3:3 NIV | For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. |
| 51 | 3 | 5 | Col 3:5 NIV | Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. |
| 51 | 3 | 12 | Col 3:12 NIV | Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. |
| 51 | 3 | 13 | Col 3:13 NIV | Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. |
| 51 | 3 | 17 | Col 3:17 NIV | And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. |
| 51 | 3 | 23 | Col 3:23 NIV | Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, |
| 52 | 2 | 5 | 1 Th 2:5 NIV | You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed--God is our witness. |
| 52 | 4 | 11 | 1 Th 4:11 NIV | Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, |
| 52 | 4 | 12 | 1 Th 4:12 NIV | so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. |
| 52 | 5 | 18 | 1 Th 5:18 NIV | give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. |
| 53 | 3 | 6 | 2 Th 3:6 NIV | In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. |
| 53 | 3 | 7 | 2 Th 3:7 NIV | For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, |
| 53 | 3 | 8 | 2 Th 3:8 NIV | nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. |
| 53 | 3 | 9 | 2 Th 3:9 NIV | We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make ourselves a model for you to follow. |
| 53 | 3 | 10 | 2 Th 3:10 NIV | For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat." |
| 54 | m 3 | 3 | 1 Tim 3:3 NIV | not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. |
| 54 | m 3 | 4 | 1 Tim 3:4 NIV | He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. |
| 54 | m 3 | 5 | 1 Tim 3:5 NIV | If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church? |
| 54 | m 3 | 8 | 1 Tim 3:8 NIV | Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. |
| 54 | m 5 | 3 | 1 Tim 5:3 NIV | Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need. |
| 54 | m 5 | 5 | 1 Tim 5:5 NIV | The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help. |
| 54 | m 5 | 8 | 1 Tim 5:8 NIV | If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. |
| 54 | m 5 | 16 | 1 Tim 5:16 NIV | If any woman who is a believer has widows in her family, she should help them and not let the church be burdened with them, so that the church can help those widows who are really in need. |
| 54 | m 5 | 18 | 1 Tim 5:18 NIV | For the Scripture says, "Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain," and "The worker deserves his wages." |
| 54 | m 6 | 3 | 1 Tim 6:3 NIV | If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, |
| 54 | m 6 | 4 | 1 Tim 6:4 NIV | he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions |
| 54 | m 6 | 5 | 1 Tim 6:5 NIV | and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain. |
| 54 | m 6 | 6 | 1 Tim 6:6 NIV | But godliness with contentment is great gain. |
| 54 | m 6 | 7 | 1 Tim 6:7 NIV | For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. |
| 54 | m 6 | 8 | 1 Tim 6:8 NIV | But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. |
| 54 | m 6 | 9 | 1 Tim 6:9 NIV | People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. |
| 54 | m 6 | 10 | 1 Tim 6:10 NIV | For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. |
| 54 | m 6 | 17 | 1 Tim 6:17 NIV | Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. |
| 54 | m 6 | 18 | 1 Tim 6:18 NIV | Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. |
| 54 | m 6 | 19 | 1 Tim 6:19 NIV | In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. |
| 55 | m 2 | 4 | 2 Tim 2:4 NIV | No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs--he wants to please his commanding officer. |
| 55 | m 2 | 6 | 2 Tim 2:6 NIV | The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. |
| 55 | m 3 | 1 | 2 Tim 3:1 NIV | But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. |
| 55 | m 3 | 2 | 2 Tim 3:2 NIV | People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, |
| 55 | m 3 | 16 | 2 Tim 3:16 NIV | All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, |
| 55 | m 3 | 17 | 2 Tim 3:17 NIV | so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. |
| 56 | s 1 | 7 | Titus 1:7 NIV | Since an overseer is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless--not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. |
| 56 | s 1 | 10 | Titus 1:10 NIV | For there are many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group. |
| 56 | s 1 | 11 | Titus 1:11 NIV | They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach--and that for the sake of dishonest gain. |
| 56 | s 2 | 10 | Titus 2:10 NIV | and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive. |
| 57 | e 1 | 18 | Phile 1:18 NIV | If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. |
| 57 | e 1 | 19 | Phile 1:19 NIV | I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back--not to mention that you owe me your very self. |
| 58 | 7 | 1 | Heb 7:1 NIV | This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, |
| 58 | 7 | 2 | Heb 7:2 NIV | and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, his name means "king of righteousness"; then also, "king of Salem" means "king of peace." |
| 58 | 7 | 3 | Heb 7:3 NIV | Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever. |
| 58 | 7 | 4 | Heb 7:4 NIV | Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder! |
| 58 | 7 | 5 | Heb 7:5 NIV | Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people--that is, their brothers--even though their brothers are descended from Abraham. |
| 58 | 7 | 6 | Heb 7:6 NIV | This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. |
| 58 | 7 | 7 | Heb 7:7 NIV | And without doubt the lesser person is blessed by the greater. |
| 58 | 7 | 8 | Heb 7:8 NIV | In the one case, the tenth is collected by men who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living. |
| 58 | 7 | 9 | Heb 7:9 NIV | One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, |
| 58 | 9 | 16 | Heb 9:16 NIV | In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, |
| 58 | 9 | 17 | Heb 9:17 NIV | because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. |
| 58 | 10 | 34 | Heb 10:34 NIV | You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. |
| 58 | 11 | 6 | Heb 11:6 NIV | And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. |
| 58 | 11 | 24 | Heb 11:24 NIV | By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. |
| 58 | 11 | 25 | Heb 11:25 NIV | He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. |
| 58 | 11 | 26 | Heb 11:26 NIV | He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. |
| 58 | 12 | 5 | Heb 12:5 NIV | And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, |
| 58 | 12 | 6 | Heb 12:6 NIV | because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son." |
| 58 | 12 | 7 | Heb 12:7 NIV | Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? |
| 58 | 12 | 8 | Heb 12:8 NIV | If you are not disciplined and everyone undergoes discipline , then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. |
| 58 | 12 | 9 | Heb 12:9 NIV | Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! |
| 58 | 12 | 10 | Heb 12:10 NIV | Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. |
| 58 | 12 | 11 | Heb 12:11 NIV | No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. |
| 58 | 12 | 15 | Heb 12:15 NIV | See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. |
| 58 | 12 | 16 | Heb 12:16 NIV | See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. |
| 58 | 12 | 17 | Heb 12:17 NIV | Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. He could bring about no change of mind, though he sought the blessing with tears. |
| 58 | 13 | 5 | Heb 13:5 NIV | Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." |
| 58 | 13 | 6 | Heb 13:6 NIV | So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" |
| 58 | 13 | 16 | Heb 13:16 NIV | And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. |
| 59 | s 1 | 2 | James 1:2 NIV | Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, |
| 59 | s 1 | 3 | James 1:3 NIV | because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. |
| 59 | s 1 | 4 | James 1:4 NIV | Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. |
| 59 | s 1 | 10 | James 1:10 NIV | But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. |
| 59 | s 1 | 11 | James 1:11 NIV | For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business. |
| 59 | s 1 | 18 | James 1:18 NIV | He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. |
| 59 | s 1 | 22 | James 1:22 NIV | Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. |
| 59 | s 1 | 27 | James 1:27 NIV | Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. |
| 59 | s 2 | 1 | James 2:1 NIV | My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism. |
| 59 | s 2 | 2 | James 2:2 NIV | Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. |
| 59 | s 2 | 3 | James 2:3 NIV | If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, "Here's a good seat for you," but say to the poor man, "You stand there" or "Sit on the floor by my feet," |
| 59 | s 2 | 4 | James 2:4 NIV | have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? |
| 59 | s 2 | 5 | James 2:5 NIV | Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? |
| 59 | s 2 | 6 | James 2:6 NIV | But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? |
| 59 | s 2 | 7 | James 2:7 NIV | Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong? |
| 59 | s 2 | 8 | James 2:8 NIV | If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right. |
| 59 | s 2 | 9 | James 2:9 NIV | But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. |
| 59 | s 2 | 10 | James 2:10 NIV | For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. |
| 59 | s 2 | 11 | James 2:11 NIV | For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. |
| 59 | s 2 | 12 | James 2:12 NIV | Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, |
| 59 | s 2 | 13 | James 2:13 NIV | because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment! |
| 59 | s 2 | 14 | James 2:14 NIV | What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? |
