1 John 2:21 Meaning
-
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John 2:22 Meaning
-
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
1 John 2:23 Meaning
-
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
1 John 2:24 Meaning

James 1:2 Meaning
-
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
James 1:3 Meaning
-
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
James 1:4 Meaning
-
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
James 1:5 Meaning

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
James 1:6 Meaning
-
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
James 1:7 Meaning
-
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
James 1:8 Meaning

9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
James 1:9 Meaning
-
10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
James 1:10 Meaning
-
11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
James 1:11 Meaning

12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
James 1:12 Meaning

James 1:14 Meaning
-
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
James 1:15 Meaning

James 1:18 Meaning

James 1:20 Meaning
-
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
James 1:21 Meaning

James 1:24 Meaning

James 1:27 Meaning

Malachi 3:12 Meaning
-
13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
Malachi 3:13 Meaning
-
14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?
Malachi 3:14 Meaning
-
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

Ruth 1:12 Meaning

1 Corinthians 1:1 Meaning

2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
1 Corinthians 1:2 Meaning
-
3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:3 Meaning
-
4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
1 Corinthians 1:4 Meaning
-
5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
1 Corinthians 1:5 Meaning
-
6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
1 Corinthians 1:6 Meaning
-
7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1 Corinthians 1:7 Meaning
-
8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:8 Meaning
-
9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:9 Meaning

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 Corinthians 1:10 Meaning
-
11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
1 Corinthians 1:11 Meaning
-
12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:12 Meaning
-
13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
1 Corinthians 1:13 Meaning
-
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
1 Corinthians 1:14 Meaning
-
15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
1 Corinthians 1:15 Meaning
-
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
1 Corinthians 1:16 Meaning
-
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
1 Corinthians 1:17 Meaning

18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18 Meaning

19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
1 Corinthians 1:19 Meaning
-
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1 Corinthians 1:20 Meaning

21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
1 Corinthians 1:21 Meaning
-
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
1 Corinthians 1:22 Meaning
-
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1 Corinthians 1:23 Meaning
-
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
1 Corinthians 1:24 Meaning
-
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1 Corinthians 1:25 Meaning
-
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
