Deut.4.15

You saw no form on the day GOD spoke to you at Horeb from out of the fire. Remember that. Carefully guard yourselves

Deut.4.15

You saw no form of any kind the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully,

Deut.4.15

"Take careful heed to yourselves, for you saw no form when the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire,

Deut.4.15

"But be careful! You did not see the LORD's form on the day he spoke to you from the fire at Mount Sinai.

Deut.4.16

so that you don't turn corrupt and make a form, carving a figure

Deut.4.16

so that you do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman,

Deut.4.16

lest you act corruptly and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of any figure: the likeness of male or female,

Deut.4.16

So do not corrupt yourselves by making a physical image in any form--whether of a man or a woman,

Deut.4.17

that looks male or female, or looks like a prowling animal or a flying bird

Deut.4.17

or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air,

Deut.4.17

the likeness of any animal that is on the earth or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air,

Deut.4.17

an animal or a bird,

Deut.4.18

or a slithering snake or a fish in a stream.

Deut.4.18

or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the waters below.

Deut.4.18

the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground or the likeness of any fish that is in the water beneath the earth.

Deut.4.18

a creeping creature or a fish.

Deut.4.19

And also carefully guard yourselves so that you don't look up into the skies and see the sun and moon and stars, all the constellations of the skies, and be seduced into worshiping and serving them. GOD set them out for everybody's benefit, everywhere.

Deut.4.19

And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars-all the heavenly array-do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

Deut.4.19

And take heed, lest you lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, you feel driven to worship them and serve them, which the LORD your God has given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage.

Deut.4.19

And when you look up into the sky and see the sun, moon, and stars--all the forces of heaven--don't be seduced by them and worship them. The LORD your God designated these heavenly bodies for all the peoples of the earth.

Deut.4.20

But you--GOD took you right out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to become the people of his inheritance--and that's what you are this very day.

Deut.4.20

But as for you, the LORD took you and brought you out of the iron-smelting furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of his inheritance, as you now are.

Deut.4.20

But the LORD has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be His people, an inheritance, as you are this day.

Deut.4.20

Remember that the LORD rescued you from the burning furnace of Egypt to become his own people and special possession; that is what you are today.

Deut.4.21

But GOD was angry with me because of you and the things you said. He swore that I'd never cross the Jordan, never get to enter the good land that GOD, your God, is giving you as an inheritance.

Deut.4.21

The LORD was angry with me because of you, and he solemnly swore that I would not cross the Jordan and enter the good land the LORD your God is giving you as your inheritance.

Deut.4.21

Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I would not cross over the Jordan, and that I would not enter the good land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

Deut.4.21

"But the LORD was very angry with me because of you. He vowed that I would never cross the Jordan River into the good land the LORD your God is giving you as your special possession.

Deut.4.22

This means that I am going to die here. I'm not crossing the Jordan. But you will cross; you'll possess the good land.

Deut.4.22

I will die in this land; I will not cross the Jordan; but you are about to cross over and take possession of that good land.

Deut.4.22

But I must die in this land, I must not cross over the Jordan; but you shall cross over and possess that good land.

Deut.4.22

Though you will cross the Jordan to occupy the land, I will die here on this side of the river.

Deut.4.23

So stay alert. Don't for a minute forget the covenant which GOD, your God, made with you. And don't take up with any carved images, no forms of any kind--GOD, your God, issued clear commands on that.

Deut.4.23

Be careful not to forget the covenant of the LORD your God that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything the LORD your God has forbidden.

Deut.4.23

Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the LORD your God has forbidden you.

Deut.4.23

So be careful not to break the covenant the LORD your God has made with you. You will break it if you make idols of any shape or form, for the LORD your God has absolutely forbidden this.

Deut.4.24

GOD, your God, is not to be trifled with--he's a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Deut.4.24

For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Deut.4.24

For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Deut.4.24

The LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

Deut.4.25

When the time comes that you have children and grandchildren, put on years, and start taking things for granted, if you then become corrupt and make any carved images, no matter what their form, by doing what is sheer evil in GOD's eyes and provoking his anger--

Deut.4.25

After you have had children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time-if you then become corrupt and make any kind of idol, doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God and provoking him to anger,

Deut.4.25

"When you beget children and grandchildren and have grown old in the land, and act corruptly and make a carved image in the form of anything, and do evil in the sight of the LORD your God to provoke Him to anger,

Deut.4.25

"In the future, when you have children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time, do not corrupt yourselves by making idols of any kind. This is evil in the sight of the LORD your God and will arouse his anger.

Deut.4.26

I can tell you right now, with Heaven and Earth as witnesses, that it will be all over for you. You'll be kicked off the land that you're about to cross over the Jordan to possess. Believe me, you'll have a very short stay there. You'll be ruined, completely ruined.

Deut.4.26

I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed.

Deut.4.26

I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you will soon utterly perish from the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess; you will not prolong your days in it, but will be utterly destroyed.

Deut.4.26

"Today I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you. If you disobey me, you will quickly disappear from the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy. You will live there only a short time; then you will be utterly destroyed.

Deut.4.27

GOD will scatter you far and wide; a few of you will survive here and there in the nations where GOD will drive you.

Deut.4.27

The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you.

Deut.4.27

And the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the LORD will drive you.

Deut.4.27

For the LORD will scatter you among the nations, where only a few of you will survive.

Deut.4.28

There you can worship your homemade gods to your hearts' content, your wonderful gods of wood and stone that can't see or hear or eat or smell.

Deut.4.28

There you will worship man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.

Deut.4.28

And there you will serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.

Deut.4.28

There, in a foreign land, you will worship idols made from wood and stone, gods that neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.

Deut.4.29

But even there, if you seek GOD, your God, you'll be able to find him if you're serious, looking for him with your whole heart and soul.

Deut.4.29

But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Deut.4.29

But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Deut.4.29

From there you will search again for the LORD your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him.

Deut.4.30

When troubles come and all these awful things happen to you, in future days you will come back to GOD, your God, and listen obediently to what he says.

Deut.4.30

When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and obey him.

Deut.4.30

When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, when you turn to the LORD your God and obey His voice

Deut.4.30

"When those bitter days have come upon you far in the future, you will finally return to the LORD your God and listen to what he tells you.

Deut.4.31

GOD, your God, is above all a compassionate God. In the end he will not abandon you, he won't bring you to ruin, he won't forget the covenant with your ancestors which he swore to them.

Deut.4.31

For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them by oath.

Deut.4.31

(for the LORD your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them.

Deut.4.31

For the LORD your God is merciful--he will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the solemn covenant he made with your ancestors.

Deut.4.32

Ask questions. Find out what has been going on all these years before you were born. From the day God created man and woman on this Earth, and from the horizon in the east to the horizon in the west--as far back as you can imagine and as far away as you can imagine--has as great a thing as this ever happened? Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?

Deut.4.32

Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created man on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of?

Deut.4.32

"For ask now concerning the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether any great thing like this has happened, or anything like it has been heard.

Deut.4.32

"Search all of history, from the time God created people on the earth until now. Then search from one end of the heavens to the other. See if anything as great as this has ever happened before.

Deut.4.33

Has a people ever heard, as you did, a god speaking out of the middle of the fire and lived to tell the story?

Deut.4.33

Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived?

Deut.4.33

Did any people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?

Deut.4.33

Has any nation ever heard the voice of God speaking from fire--as you did--and survived?

Deut.4.34

Or has a god ever tried to select for himself a nation from within a nation using trials, miracles, and war, putting his strong hand in, reaching his long arm out, a spectacle awesome and staggering, the way GOD, your God, did it for you in Egypt while you stood right there and watched?

Deut.4.34

Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by miraculous signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?

Deut.4.34

Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

Deut.4.34

Has any other god taken one nation for himself by rescuing it from another by means of trials, miraculous signs, wonders, war, awesome power, and terrifying acts? Yet that is what the LORD your God did for you in Egypt, right before your very eyes.

Deut.4.35

You were shown all this so that you would know that GOD is, well, God. He's the only God there is. He's it.

Deut.4.35

You were shown these things so that you might know that the LORD is God; besides him there is no other.

Deut.4.35

To you it was shown, that you might know that the LORD Himself is God; there is none other besides Him.

Deut.4.35

"He showed you these things so you would realize that the LORD is God and that there is no other god.

Deut.4.36

He made it possible for you to hear his voice out of Heaven to discipline you. Down on Earth, he showed you the big fire and again you heard his words, this time out of the fire.

Deut.4.36

From heaven he made you hear his voice to discipline you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire.

Deut.4.36

Out of heaven He let you hear His voice, that He might instruct you; on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire.

Deut.4.36

He let you hear his voice from heaven so he could instruct you. He let you see his great fire here on earth so he could speak to you from it.

Deut.4.37

He loved your ancestors and chose to work with their children. He personally and powerfully brought you out of Egypt

Deut.4.37

Because he loved your forefathers and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength,

Deut.4.37

And because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their descendants after them; and He brought you out of Egypt with His Presence, with His mighty power,

Deut.4.37

Because he loved your ancestors, he chose to bless their descendants and personally brought you out of Egypt with a great display of power.

Deut.4.38

in order to displace bigger and stronger and older nations with you, bringing you out and turning their land over to you as an inheritance. And now it's happening. This very day.

Deut.4.38

to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance, as it is today.

Deut.4.38

driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day.

Deut.4.38

He drove out nations far greater than you, so he could bring you in and give you their land as a special possession, as it is today.

Deut.4.39

Know this well, then. Take it to heart right now: GOD is in Heaven above; GOD is on Earth below. He's the only God there is.

Deut.4.39

Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.

Deut.4.39

Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the LORD Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

Deut.4.39

So remember this and keep it firmly in mind: The LORD is God both in heaven and on earth, and there is no other god!

Deut.4.40

Obediently live by his rules and commands which I'm giving you today so that you'll live well and your children after you--oh, you'll live a long time in the land that GOD, your God, is giving you. [JC]

Deut.5.22

These are the words that GOD spoke to the whole congregation at the mountain. He spoke in a tremendous voice from the fire and cloud and dark mist. And that was it. No more words. Then he wrote them on two slabs of stone and gave them to me.

Deut.5.22

These are the commandments the LORD proclaimed in a loud voice to your whole assembly there on the mountain from out of the fire, the cloud and the deep darkness; and he added nothing more. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me.

Deut.5.22

"These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly, in the mountain from the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice; and He added no more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

Deut.5.22

"The LORD spoke these words with a loud voice to all of you from the heart of the fire, surrounded by clouds and deep darkness. This was all he said at that time, and he wrote his words on two stone tablets and gave them to me.

Deut.5.23

As it turned out, when you heard the Voice out of that dark cloud and saw the mountain on fire, you approached me, all the heads of your tribes and your leaders,

Deut.5.23

When you heard the voice out of the darkness, while the mountain was ablaze with fire, all the leading men of your tribes and your elders came to me.

Deut.5.23

"So it was, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders.

Deut.5.23

But when you heard the voice from the darkness, while the mountain was blazing with fire, all your tribal leaders came to me.

Deut.5.24

and said, "Our GOD has revealed to us his glory and greatness. We've heard him speak from the fire today! We've seen that God can speak to humans and they can still live.

Deut.5.24

And you said, "The LORD our God has shown us his glory and his majesty, and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that a man can live even if God speaks with him.

Deut.5.24

And you said: "Surely the LORD our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he still lives.

Deut.5.24

They said, `The LORD our God has shown us his glory and greatness, and we have heard his voice from the heart of the fire. Today we have seen God speaking to humans, and yet we live!

Deut.5.25

But why risk it further? This huge fire will devour us if we stay around any longer. If we hear GOD's voice anymore, we'll die for sure.

Deut.5.25

But now, why should we die? This great fire will consume us, and we will die if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer.

Deut.5.25

Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the LORD our God anymore, then we shall die.

Deut.5.25

But now, why should we die? If the LORD our God speaks to us again, we will certainly die and be consumed by this awesome fire.

Deut.5.26

Has anyone ever known of anyone who has heard the Voice of GOD the way we have and lived to tell the story?

Deut.5.26

For what mortal man has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived?

Deut.5.26

For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

"The LORD heard your request and said to me, `I have heard what the people have said to you, and they are right.

Deut.5.29

What I wouldn't give if they'd always feel this way, continuing to revere me and always keep all my commands; they'd have a good life forever, they and their children!

Deut.5.29

Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!

Deut.5.29

Oh, that they had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and always keep all My commandments, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!

"Go ahead and tell them to go home to their tents.

But you stay here with me so that I may give you all the commands, decrees and laws you are to teach them to follow in the land I am giving them to possess."

Deut.5.31

But you stay here with me so I can give you all my commands, laws, and regulations. You will teach them to the people so they can obey them in the land I am giving to them as their inheritance.'"

So be very careful to act exactly as GOD commands you. Don't veer off to the right or the left.

Deut.5.32

So be careful to do what the LORD your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left.

Deut.5.32

"Therefore you shall be careful to do as the LORD your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

Deut.5.32

So Moses told the people, "You must obey all the commands of the LORD your God, following his instructions in every detail.

Deut.5.33

Walk straight down the road GOD commands so that you'll have a good life and live a long time in the land that you're about to possess.

Deut.5.33

Stay on the path that the LORD your God has commanded you to follow. Then you will live long and prosperous lives in the land you are about to enter and occupy.

Luke.11.5

Then he said, "Imagine what would happen if you went to a friend in the middle of the night and said, "Friend, lend me three loaves of bread.

Luke.11.5

Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

Luke.11.5

And He said to them, "Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, "Friend, lend me three loaves;

Luke.11.5

Then, teaching them more about prayer, he used this illustration: "Suppose you went to a friend's house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You would say to him,

Luke.11.6

An old friend traveling through just showed up, and I don't have a thing on hand.'

Luke.11.6

because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.'

Luke.11.6

for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him';

Luke.11.6

'A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.'

Luke.11.7

"The friend answers from his bed, "Don't bother me. The door's locked; my children are all down for the night; I can't get up to give you anything.'

Luke.11.7

"Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.'

Luke.11.7

and he will answer from within and say, "Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you'?

Luke.11.7

He would call out from his bedroom, 'Don't bother me. The door is locked for the night, and we are all in bed. I can't help you this time.'

Luke.11.8

"But let me tell you, even if he won't get up because he's a friend, if you stand your ground, knocking and waking all the neighbors, he'll finally get up and get you whatever you need.

Luke.11.8

I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

Luke.11.8

I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.

Luke.11.8

But I tell you this--though he won't do it as a friend, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you what you want so his reputation won't be damaged.

Luke.11.9

"Here's what I'm saying: Ask and you'll get; Seek and you'll find; Knock and the door will open.

Luke.11.9

"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Luke.11.9

"So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Luke.11.9

"And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will be given what you ask for. Keep on looking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened.

Luke.11.10

"Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This is not a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we're in.

Luke.11.10

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

Luke.11.10

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Luke.11.10

For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And the door is opened to everyone who knocks.

Luke.11.11

If your little boy asks for a serving of fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate?

Luke.11.11

"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

Luke.11.11

If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?

Luke.11.11

"You fathers--if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead?

Luke.11.12

If your little girl asks for an egg, do you trick her with a spider?

Luke.11.12

Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

Luke.11.12

Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

Luke.11.12

Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not!

Luke.11.13

As bad as you are, you wouldn't think of such a thing--you're at least decent to your own children. And don't you think the Father who conceived you in love will give the Holy Spirit when you ask him?"

Luke.11.13

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!"

Luke.11.13

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

Luke.11.13

If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him."

Luke.11.14

Jesus delivered a man from a demon that had kept him speechless. The demon gone, the man started talking a blue streak, taking the crowd by complete surprise.

Luke.11.14

Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.

Luke.11.14

And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled.

Luke.11.14

One day Jesus cast a demon out of a man who couldn't speak, and the man's voice returned to him. The crowd was amazed,

Luke.11.15

But some from the crowd were cynical. "Black magic," they said. "Some devil trick he's pulled from his sleeve."

Luke.11.15

But some of them said, "By Beelzebub, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons."

Luke.11.15

But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons."

Luke.11.15

but some said, "No wonder he can cast out demons. He gets his power from Satan, the prince of demons!"

Luke.11.16

Others were skeptical, waiting around for him to prove himself with a spectacular miracle.

Luke.11.16

Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.

Luke.11.16

Others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from heaven.

Luke.11.16

Trying to test Jesus, others asked for a miraculous sign from heaven to see if he was from God.

Luke.11.17

Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, "Any country in civil war for very long is wasted. A constantly squabbling family falls to pieces.

Luke.11.17

Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall.

Luke.11.17

But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls.

Luke.11.17

He knew their thoughts, so he said, "Any kingdom at war with itself is doomed. A divided home is also doomed.

Luke.11.18

If Satan cancels Satan, is there any Satan left? You accuse me of ganging up with the Devil, the prince of demons, to cast out demons,

Luke.11.18

If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebub.

Luke.11.18

If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub.

Luke.11.18

You say I am empowered by the prince of demons. But if Satan is fighting against himself by empowering me to cast out his demons, how can his kingdom survive?

Luke.11.19

but if you're slinging devil mud at me, calling me a devil who kicks out devils, doesn't the same mud stick to your own exorcists?

Luke.11.19

Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

Luke.11.19

And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.

Luke.11.19

And if I am empowered by the prince of demons, what about your own followers? They cast out demons, too, so they will judge you for what you have said.

Luke.11.20

But if it's God's finger I'm pointing that sends the demons on their way, then God's kingdom is here for sure.

Luke.11.20

But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

Luke.11.20

But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Luke.11.20

But if I am casting out demons by the power of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you.

Luke.11.21

"When a strong man, armed to the teeth, stands guard in his front yard, his property is safe and sound.

Luke.11.21

"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe.

Luke.11.21

When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.

Luke.11.21

For when Satan, who is completely armed, guards his palace, it is safe--

Luke.11.22

But what if a stronger man comes along with superior weapons? Then he's beaten at his own game, the arsenal that gave him such confidence hauled off, and his precious possessions plundered.

Luke.11.22

But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils.

Luke.11.22

But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.

Luke.11.22

until someone who is stronger attacks and overpowers him, strips him of his weapons, and carries off his belongings.

Luke.11.23

"This is war, and there is no neutral ground. If you're not on my side, you're the enemy; if you're not helping, you're making things worse.

Luke.11.23

"He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.

Luke.11.23

He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

Luke.11.23

"Anyone who isn't helping me opposes me, and anyone who isn't working with me is actually working against me.

Luke.11.24

"When a corrupting spirit is expelled from someone, it drifts along through the desert looking for an oasis, some unsuspecting soul it can bedevil. When it doesn't find anyone, it says, "I'll go back to my old haunt.'

Luke.11.24

"When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.'

Luke.11.24

"When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, "I will return to my house from which I came.'

Luke.11.24

"When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, searching for rest. But when it finds none, it says, 'I will return to the person I came from.'

Luke.11.25

On return, it finds the person swept and dusted, but vacant.

Luke.11.25

When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

Luke.11.25

And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order.

Luke.11.25

So it returns and finds that its former home is all swept and clean.

Luke.11.26

It then runs out and rounds up seven other spirits dirtier than itself and they all move in, whooping it up. That person ends up far worse than if he'd never gotten cleaned up in the first place."

Luke.11.26

Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first."

Luke.11.26

Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first."

Luke.11.26

Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before."

Luke.11.27

While he was saying these things, some woman lifted her voice above the murmur of the crowd: "Blessed the womb that carried you, and the breasts at which you nursed!"

Luke.11.27

As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you."

Luke.11.27

And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, "Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!"

Luke.11.27

As he was speaking, a woman in the crowd called out, "God bless your mother--the womb from which you came, and the breasts that nursed you!"

Luke.11.28

Jesus commented, "Even more blessed are those who hear God's Word and guard it with their lives!"

Luke.11.28

He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."

Luke.11.28

But He said, "More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"

Luke.11.28

He replied, "But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice."

Luke.11.29

As the crowd swelled, he took a fresh tack: "The mood of this age is all wrong. Everybody's looking for proof, but you're looking for the wrong kind. All you're looking for is something to titillate your curiosity, satisfy your lust for miracles. But the only proof you're going to get is the Jonah-proof given to the Ninevites, which looks like no proof at all.

Luke.11.29

As the crowds increased, Jesus said, "This is a wicked generation. It asks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

Luke.11.29

And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, "This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.

Luke.11.29

As the crowd pressed in on Jesus, he said, "These are evil times, and this evil generation keeps asking me to show them a miraculous sign. But the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah.

Luke.11.30

What Jonah was to Nineveh, the Son of Man is to this age.

Luke.11.30

For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.

Luke.11.30

For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

Luke.11.30

What happened to him was a sign to the people of Nineveh that God had sent him. What happens to me will be a sign that God has sent me, the Son of Man, to these people.

Luke.11.31

"On Judgment Day the Ninevites will stand up and give evidence that will condemn this generation, because when Jonah preached to them they changed their lives. A far greater preacher than Jonah is here, and you squabble about "proofs.'

Luke.11.31

The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here.

Luke.11.31

The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.

Luke.11.31

"The queen of Sheba will rise up against this generation on judgment day and condemn it, because she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And now someone greater than Solomon is here--and you refuse to listen to him.

Luke.11.32

On Judgment Day the Queen of Sheba will come forward and bring evidence that condemns this generation, because she traveled from a far corner of the earth to listen to wise Solomon. Wisdom far greater than Solomon's is right in front of you, and you quibble over "evidence.'

Luke.11.32

The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here.

Luke.11.32

The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

Luke.11.32

The people of Nineveh, too, will rise up against this generation on judgment day and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. And now someone greater than Jonah is here--and you refuse to repent.
