 Gen 41:5 He fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain came up on a single stalk, plump and good.(nas)
Gen 41:6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. (kjv)

Gen 41:13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged. (kjv)
 Gen 41:13 And just as he interpreted for us, so it happened; he restored me in my office, but he hanged him." (nas)

Gen 41:18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: (kjv)
 Gen 41:18 and behold, seven cows, fat and sleek came up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the marsh grass.(nas)
Gen 41:19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness: (kjv)
 Gen 41:19 Lo, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and gaunt, such as I had never seen for ugliness in all the land of Egypt;(nas)
Gen 41:20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: (kjv)
 Gen 41:20 and the lean and ugly cows ate up the first seven fat cows.(nas)
Gen 41:21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke. (kjv)
 Gen 41:21 Yet when they had devoured them, it could not be detected that they had devoured them, for they were just as ugly as before. Then I awoke.(nas)
Gen 41:22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good: (kjv)
 Gen 41:22 I saw also in my dream, and behold, seven ears, full and good, came up on a single stalk;(nas)
Gen 41:23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them: (kjv)
 Gen 41:23 and lo, seven ears, withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them;(nas)
Gen 41:24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me. (kjv)
 Gen 41:24 and the thin ears swallowed the seven good ears. Then I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."(nas)
Gen 41:25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do. (kjv)
 Gen 41:25 Now Joseph said to Pharaoh, "Pharaoh's dreams are one and the same; God has told to Pharaoh what He is about to do.(nas)
Gen 41:26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. (kjv)
 Gen 41:26 The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one and the same.(nas)

 Gen 41:27 The seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven thin ears scorched by the east wind will be seven years of famine.(nas)

 Gen 41:30 and after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will ravage the land.(nas)
Gen 41:31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous. (kjv)
 Gen 41:31 So the abundance will be unknown in the land because of that subsequent famine; for it will be very severe.(nas)
Gen 41:32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. (kjv)
 Gen 41:32 Now as for the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice, it means that the matter is determined by God, and God will quickly bring it about.(nas)
Gen 41:33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. (kjv)

Gen 41:36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine. (kjv)
 Gen 41:36 Let the food become as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine."(nas)
Gen 41:37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. (kjv)
 Gen 41:37 Now the proposal seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants. (nas)
Gen 41:38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? (kjv)
 Gen 41:38 Then Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find a man like this, in whom is a divine spirit?"(nas)
Gen 41:39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: (kjv)
 Gen 41:39 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has informed you of all this, there is no one so discerning and wise as you are.(nas)

Gen 41:43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. (kjv)
 Gen 41:43 He had him ride in his second chariot; and they proclaimed before him, "Bow the knee!" And he set him over all the land of Egypt.(nas)
Gen 41:44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. (kjv)
 Gen 41:44 Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Though I am Pharaoh, yet without your permission no one shall raise his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."(nas)

 Gen 41:48 So he gathered all the food of these seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt and placed the food in the cities; he placed in every city the food from its own surrounding fields.(nas)
Gen 41:49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number. (kjv)

(kjv)
 Jdg 6:13 Then Gideon said to him, "O my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us?

Jdg 6:19 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it. (kjv)

Jdg 6:25 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it: (kjv)
 Jdg 6:25 Now on the same night the Lord said to him, "Take your father's bull and a second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal which belongs to your father, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it;(nas)
Jdg 6:26 And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down. (kjv)
 Jdg 6:26 and build an altar to the Lord your God on the top of this stronghold in an orderly manner, and take a second bull and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah which you shall cut down."(nas)
Jdg 6:27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night. (kjv)
 Jdg 6:27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants and did as the Lord had spoken to him; and because he was too afraid of his father's household and the men of the city to do it by day, he did it by night. (nas)

 Jdg 6:29 They said to one another, "Who did this thing?" And when they searched about and inquired, they said, "Gideon the son of Joash did this thing."(nas)
Jdg 6:30 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it. (kjv)
 Jdg 6:30 Then the men of the city said to Joash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has torn down the altar of Baal, and indeed, he has cut down the Asherah which was beside it."(nas)
Jdg 6:31 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar. (kjv)
 Jdg 6:31 But Joash said to all who stood against him, "Will you contend for Baal, or will you deliver him? Whoever will plead for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone has torn down his altar."(nas)
Jdg 6:32 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar. (kjv)
 Jdg 6:32 Therefore on that day he named him Jerubbaal, that is to say, "Let Baal contend against him," because he had torn down his altar.(nas)

Jdg 6:36 And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said, (kjv)
 Jdg 6:36 Then Gideon said to God, "If You will deliver Israel through me, as You have spoken,(nas)
Jdg 6:37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said. (kjv)
 Jdg 6:37 behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I will know that You will deliver Israel through me, as You have spoken."(nas)
Jdg 6:38 And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. (kjv)
 Jdg 6:38 And it was so. When he arose early the next morning and squeezed the fleece, he drained the dew from the fleece, a bowl full of water.(nas)
Jdg 6:39 And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew. (kjv)
 Jdg 6:39 Then Gideon said to God, "Do not let Your anger burn against me that I may speak once more; please let me make a test once more with the fleece, let it now be dry only on the fleece, and let there be dew on all the ground."(nas)
Jdg 6:40 And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.(kjv)
 Jdg 6:40 God did so that night; for it was dry only on the fleece, and dew was on all the ground. (nas)
Jdg 7:1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:1 Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him, rose early and camped beside the spring of Harod; and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh in the valley.(nas)
Jdg 7:2 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:2 The Lord said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for Me to give Midian into their hands, for Israel would become boastful, saying, 'My own power has delivered me.'(nas)
Jdg 7:3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:3 Now therefore come, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, 'Whoever is afraid and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.'" So 22,000 people returned, but 10,000 remained.(nas)
Jdg 7:4 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:4 Then the Lord said to Gideon, "The people are still too many; bring them down to the water and I will test them for you there. Therefore it shall be that he of whom I say to you, 'This one shall go with you,' he shall go with you; but everyone of whom I say to you, 'This one shall not go with you,' he shall not go."(nas)
Jdg 7:5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:5 So he brought the people down to the water. And the Lord said to Gideon, "You shall separate everyone who laps the water with his tongue as a dog laps, as well as everyone who kneels to drink."(nas)
Jdg 7:6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:6 Now the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was 300 men; but all the rest of the people kneeled to drink water.(nas)
Jdg 7:7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:7 The Lord said to Gideon, "I will deliver you with the 300 men who lapped and will give the Midianites into your hands; so let all the other people go, each man to his home."(nas)
Jdg 7:8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:8 So the 300 men took the people's provisions and their trumpets into their hands. And Gideon sent all the other men of Israel, each to his tent, but retained the 300 men; and the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.(nas)
Jdg 7:9 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:9 Now the same night it came about that the Lord said to him, "Arise, go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hands.(nas)
Jdg 7:10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host: (kjv)
 Jdg 7:10 But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp,(nas)
Jdg 7:11 And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:11 and you will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened that you may go down against the camp." So he went with Purah his servant down to the outposts of the army that was in the camp.(nas)
Jdg 7:12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:12 Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore.(nas)
Jdg 7:13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:13 When Gideon came, behold, a man was relating a dream to his friend. And he said, "Behold, I had a dream; a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat."(nas)
Jdg 7:14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:14 His friend replied, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand."(nas)
Jdg 7:15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:15 When Gideon heard the account of the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship. He returned to the camp of Israel and said, "Arise, for the Lord has given the camp of Midian into your hands."(nas)
Jdg 7:16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:16 He divided the 300 men into three companies, and he put trumpets and empty pitchers into the hands of all of them, with torches inside the pitchers.(nas)
Jdg 7:17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:17 He said to them, "Look at me and do likewise. And behold, when I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do.(nas)
Jdg 7:18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:18 When I and all who are with me blow the trumpet, then you also blow the trumpets all around the camp and say, 'For the Lord and for Gideon.'" (nas)
Jdg 7:19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:19 So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the pitchers that were in their hands.(nas)
Jdg 7:20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:20 When the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers, they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing, and cried, "A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!"(nas)
Jdg 7:21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:21 Each stood in his place around the camp; and all the army ran, crying out as they fled.(nas)
Jdg 7:22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath. (kjv)
 Jdg 7:22 When they blew 300 trumpets, the Lord set the sword of one against another even throughout the whole army; and the army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the edge of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.(nas)
Jdg 7:23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites. (kjv)

 Jdg 7:24 Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against Midian and take the waters before them, as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan." So all the men of Ephraim were summoned and they took the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.(nas)
Jdg 7:25 And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.(kjv)
 Jdg 7:25 They captured the two leaders of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and they killed Zeeb at the wine press of Zeeb, while they pursued Midian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon from across the Jordan. (nas)
Jdg 8:1 And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply. (kjv)
 Jdg 8:1 Then the men of Ephraim said to him, "What is this thing you have done to us, not calling us when you went to fight against Midian?" And they contended with him vigorously.(nas)
Jdg 8:2 And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer? (kjv)
 Jdg 8:2 But he said to them, "What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?(nas)
Jdg 8:3 God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that. (kjv)
 Jdg 8:3 God has given the leaders of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb into your hands; and what was I able to do in comparison with you?" Then their anger toward him subsided when he said that.(nas)
Jdg 8:4 And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. (kjv)

Jdg 8:5 And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian. (kjv)
 Jdg 8:5 He said to the men of Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who are following me, for they are weary, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian."(nas)
Jdg 8:6 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army? (kjv)
 Jdg 8:6 The leaders of Succoth said, "Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hands, that we should give bread to your army?"(nas)
Jdg 8:7 And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers. (kjv)
 Jdg 8:7 Gideon said, "All right, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will thrash your bodies with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers."(nas)

 Jdg 14:3 Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there no woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she looks good to me."(nas)

Jdg 14:15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so? (kjv)
 Jdg 14:15 Then it came about on the fourth day that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, so that he will tell us the riddle, or we will burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us to impoverish us? Is this not so?"(nas)

 Jdg 14:16 Samson's wife wept before him and said, "You only hate me, and you do not love me; you have propounded a riddle to the sons of my people, and have not told it to me." And he said to her, "Behold, I have not told it to my father or mother; so should I tell you?"(nas)
Jdg 14:17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people. (kjv)
 Jdg 14:17 However she wept before him seven days while their feast lasted. And on the seventh day he told her because she pressed him so hard. She then told the riddle to the sons of her people.(nas)

 Jdg 16:17 So he told her all that was in his heart and said to her, "A razor has never come on my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will leave me and I will become weak and be like any other man."(nas)
Jdg 16:18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand. (kjv)

 Jdg 16:25 It so happened when they were in high spirits, that they said, "Call for Samson, that he may amuse us." So they called for Samson from the prison, and he entertained them. And they made him stand between the pillars.(nas)
Jdg 16:26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them. (kjv)
 Jdg 16:26 Then Samson said to the boy who was holding his hand, "Let me feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean against them."(nas)

 Jdg 19:28 He said to her, "Get up and let us go," but there was no answer. Then he placed her on the donkey; and the man arose and went to his home.(nas)

 Rut 1:11 But Naomi said, "Return, my daughters. Why should you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?(nas)
Rut 1:12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons; (kjv)
 Rut 1:12 Return, my daughters! Go, for I am too old to have a husband. If I said I have hope, if I should even have a husband tonight and also bear sons,(nas)
Rut 1:13 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me. (kjv)
 Rut 1:13 would you therefore wait until they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters; for it is harder for me than for you, for the hand of the Lord has gone forth against me." (nas)
Rut 1:14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. (kjv)

 Rut 1:15 Then she said, "Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods; return after your sister-in-law."(nas)
Rut 1:16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: (kjv)
 Rut 1:16 But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.(nas)
Rut 1:17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. (kjv)
 Rut 1:17 Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus may the Lord do to me, and worse, if anything but death parts you and me."(nas)
Rut 1:18 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her. (kjv)
 Rut 1:18 When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more to her.(nas)
Rut 1:19 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi? (kjv)
 Rut 1:19 So they both went until they came to Bethlehem. And when they had come to Bethlehem, all the city was stirred because of them, and the women said, "Is this Naomi?"(nas)
Rut 1:20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. (kjv)
 Rut 1:20 She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.(nas)
Rut 1:21 I went out full and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me? (kjv)
 Rut 1:21 I went out full, but the Lord has brought me back empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the Lord has witnessed against me and the Almighty has afflicted me?"(nas)
Rut 1:22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.(kjv)
 Rut 1:22 So Naomi returned, and with her Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, who returned from the land of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest. (nas)
Rut 2:1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz. (kjv)
 Rut 2:1 Now Naomi had a kinsman of her husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.(nas)
Rut 2:2 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter. (kjv)
 Rut 2:2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Please let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain after one in whose sight I may find favor." And she said to her, "Go, my daughter."(nas)
Rut 2:3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech. (kjv)
 Rut 2:3 So she departed and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.(nas)
Rut 2:4 And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee. (kjv)
 Rut 2:4 Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, "May the Lord be with you." And they said to him, "May the Lord bless you."(nas)
Rut 2:5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this? (kjv)
 Rut 2:5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?"(nas)
Rut 2:6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab: (kjv)
 Rut 2:6 The servant in charge of the reapers replied, "She is the young Moabite woman who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab.(nas)
Rut 2:7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house. (kjv)
 Rut 2:7 And she said, 'Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' Thus she came and has remained from the morning until now; she has been sitting in the house for a little while."(nas)
Rut 2:8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens: (kjv)
 Rut 2:8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, "Listen carefully, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field; furthermore, do not go on from this one, but stay here with my maids.(nas)
Rut 2:9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn. (kjv)
 Rut 2:9 Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Indeed, I have commanded the servants not to touch you. When you are thirsty, go to the water jars and drink from what the servants draw."(nas)
Rut 2:10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger? (kjv)
 Rut 2:10 Then she fell on her face, bowing to the ground and said to him, "Why have I found favor in your sight that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?"(nas)
Rut 2:11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore. (kjv)
 Rut 2:11 Boaz replied to her, "All that you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband has been fully reported to me, and how you left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people that you did not previously know.(nas)
Rut 2:12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust. (kjv)
 Rut 2:12 May the Lord reward your work, and your wages be full from the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to seek refuge."(nas)
Rut 2:13 Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens. (kjv)
 Rut 2:13 Then she said, "I have found favor in your sight, my lord, for you have comforted me and indeed have spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your maidservants."(nas)
Rut 2:14 And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left. (kjv)
 Rut 2:14 At mealtime Boaz said to her, "Come here, that you may eat of the bread and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar." So she sat beside the reapers; and he served her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left.(nas)
Rut 2:15 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not: (kjv)
 Rut 2:15 When she rose to glean, Boaz commanded his servants, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not insult her.(nas)
Rut 2:16 And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not. (kjv)
 Rut 2:16 Also you shall purposely pull out for her some grain from the bundles and leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her."(nas)
Rut 2:17 So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley. (kjv)
 Rut 2:17 So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.(nas)
Rut 2:18 And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed. (kjv)
 Rut 2:18 She took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She also took it out and gave Naomi what she had left after she was satisfied.(nas)
Rut 2:19 And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz. (kjv)
 Rut 2:19 Her mother-in-law then said to her, "Where did you glean today and where did you work? May he who took notice of you be blessed." So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, "The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz."(nas)
Rut 2:20 And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen. (kjv)
 Rut 2:20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "May he be blessed of the Lord who has not withdrawn his kindness to the living and to the dead." Again Naomi said to her, "The man is our relative, he is one of our closest relatives."(nas)
Rut 2:21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest. (kjv)
 Rut 2:21 Then Ruth the Moabitess said, "Furthermore, he said to me, 'You should stay close to my servants until they have finished all my harvest.'"(nas)
Rut 2:22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field. (kjv)
 Rut 2:22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maids, so that others do not fall upon you in another field."(nas)
Rut 2:23 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.(kjv)
 Rut 2:23 So she stayed close by the maids of Boaz in order to glean until the end of the barley harvest and the wheat harvest. And she lived with her mother-in-law. (nas)
Rut 3:1 Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee? (kjv)
 Rut 3:1 Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you?(nas)
Rut 3:2 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor. (kjv)
 Rut 3:2 Now is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maids you were? Behold, he winnows barley at the threshing floor tonight.(nas)
Rut 3:3 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking. (kjv)
 Rut 3:3 Wash yourself therefore, and anoint yourself and put on your best clothes, and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.(nas)
Rut 3:4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do. (kjv)
 Rut 3:4 It shall be when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies, and you shall go and uncover his feet and lie down; then he will tell you what you shall do."(nas)
Rut 3:5 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do. (kjv)
 Rut 3:5 She said to her, "All that you say I will do."(nas)
Rut 3:6 And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her. (kjv)
 Rut 3:6 So she went down to the threshing floor and did according to all that her mother-in-law had commanded her.(nas)

 Rut 3:7 When Boaz had eaten and drunk and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came secretly, and uncovered his feet and lay down.(nas)

 Rut 3:8 It happened in the middle of the night that the man was startled and bent forward; and behold, a woman was lying at his feet.(nas)
Rut 3:9 And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman. (kjv)
 Rut 3:9 He said, "Who are you?" And she answered, "I am Ruth your maid. So spread your covering over your maid, for you are a close relative."(nas)
Rut 3:10 And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich. (kjv)
 Rut 3:10 Then he said, "May you be blessed of the Lord, my daughter. You have shown your last kindness to be better than the first by not going after young men, whether poor or rich.(nas)
Rut 3:11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman. (kjv)
 Rut 3:11 Now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you whatever you ask, for all my people in the city know that you are a woman of excellence.(nas)
Rut 3:12 And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I. (kjv)
 Rut 3:12 Now it is true I am a close relative; however, there is a relative closer than I.(nas)
Rut 3:13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning. (kjv)
 Rut 3:13 Remain this night, and when morning comes, if he will redeem you, good; let him redeem you. But if he does not wish to redeem you, then I will redeem you, as the Lord lives. Lie down until morning."(nas)
Rut 3:14 And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor. (kjv)
 Rut 3:14 So she lay at his feet until morning and rose before one could recognize another; and he said, "Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."(nas)
Rut 3:15 Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city. (kjv)
 Rut 3:15 Again he said, "Give me the cloak that is on you and hold it." So she held it, and he measured six measures of barley and laid it on her. Then she went into the city.(nas)
Rut 3:16 And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her. (kjv)
 Rut 3:16 When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "How did it go, my daughter?" And she told her all that the man had done for her.(nas)
Rut 3:17 And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law. (kjv)
 Rut 3:17 She said, "These six measures of barley he gave to me, for he said, 'Do not go to your mother-in-law empty-handed.'"(nas)
Rut 3:18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.(kjv)
 Rut 3:18 Then she said, "Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter turns out; for the man will not rest until he has settled it today." (nas)
Rut 4:1 Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. (kjv)
 Rut 4:1 Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there, and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz spoke was passing by, so he said, "Turn aside, friend, sit down here." And he turned aside and sat down.(nas)
Rut 4:2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. (kjv)
 Rut 4:2 He took ten men of the elders of the city and said, "Sit down here." So they sat down.(nas)
Rut 4:3 And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's: (kjv)
 Rut 4:3 Then he said to the closest relative, "Naomi, who has come back from the land of Moab, has to sell the piece of land which belonged to our brother Elimelech.(nas)
Rut 4:4 And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. (kjv)
 Rut 4:4 So I thought to inform you, saying, 'Buy it before those who are sitting here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if not, tell me that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am after you.'" And he said, "I will redeem it."(nas)
Rut 4:5 Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. (kjv)
 Rut 4:5 Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also acquire Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of the deceased, in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance."(nas)
Rut 4:6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. (kjv)
 Rut 4:6 The closest relative said, "I cannot redeem it for myself, because I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Redeem it for yourself; you may have my right of redemption, for I cannot redeem it."(nas)
Rut 4:7 Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel. (kjv)
 Rut 4:7 Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning the redemption and the exchange of land to confirm any matter: a man removed his sandal and gave it to another; and this was the manner of attestation in Israel.(nas)
Rut 4:8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. (kjv)
 Rut 4:8 So the closest relative said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." And he removed his sandal.(nas)
Rut 4:9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. (kjv)
 Rut 4:9 Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses today that I have bought from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to Chilion and Mahlon.(nas)
Rut 4:10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day. (kjv)
 Rut 4:10 Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, to be my wife in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, so that the name of the deceased will not be cut off from his brothers or from the court of his birth place; you are witnesses today."(nas)
Rut 4:11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem: (kjv)
 Rut 4:11 All the people who were in the court, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and may you achieve wealth in Ephrathah and become famous in Bethlehem.(nas)
Rut 4:12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman. (kjv)
 Rut 4:12 Moreover, may your house be like the house of Perez whom Tamar bore to Judah, through the offspring which the Lord will give you by this young woman."(nas)
Rut 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son. (kjv)
 Rut 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her. And the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.(nas)
Rut 4:14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel. (kjv)
 Rut 4:14 Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed is the Lord who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel.(nas)
Rut 4:15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him. (kjv)
 Rut 4:15 May he also be to you a restorer of life and a sustainer of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him." (nas)
Rut 4:16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it. (kjv)
 Rut 4:16 Then Naomi took the child and laid him in her lap, and became his nurse.(nas)
Rut 4:17 And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David. (kjv)
 Rut 4:17 The neighbor women gave him a name, saying, "A son has been born to Naomi!" So they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.(nas)
Rut 4:18 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron, (kjv)
 Rut 4:18 Now these are the generations of Perez: to Perez was born Hezron,(nas)
Rut 4:19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab, (kjv)
 Rut 4:19 and to Hezron was born Ram, and to Ram, Amminadab,(nas)
Rut 4:20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, (kjv)
 Rut 4:20 and to Amminadab was born Nahshon, and to Nahshon, Salmon,(nas)
Rut 4:21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, (kjv)
 Rut 4:21 and to Salmon was born Boaz, and to Boaz, Obed,(nas)
Rut 4:22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.(kjv)
 Rut 4:22 and to Obed was born Jesse, and to Jesse, David. (nas)

 1Sa 1:5 but to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, but the Lord had closed her womb.(nas)
1Sa 1:6 And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb. (kjv)
 1Sa 1:6 Her rival, however, would provoke her bitterly to irritate her, because the Lord had closed her womb.(nas)
1Sa 1:7 And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat. (kjv)
 1Sa 1:7 It happened year after year, as often as she went up to the house of the Lord, she would provoke her; so she wept and would not eat.(nas)
1Sa 1:8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons? (kjv)
 1Sa 1:8 Then Elkanah her husband said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep and why do you not eat and why is your heart sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"(nas)

1Sa 17:9 If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:9 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will become your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall become our servants and serve us."(nas)

 1Sa 17:26 Then David spoke to the men who were standing by him, saying, "What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should taunt the armies of the living God?"(nas)
1Sa 17:27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him. (kjv)

1Sa 17:28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:28 Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger burned against David and he said, "Why have you come down? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down in order to see the battle."(nas)
1Sa 17:29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause? (kjv)
 1Sa 17:29 But David said, "What have I done now? Was it not just a question?"(nas)
1Sa 17:30 And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner. (kjv)

1Sa 17:33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:33 Then Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth while he has been a warrior from his youth."(nas)
1Sa 17:34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: (kjv)
 1Sa 17:34 But David said to Saul, "Your servant was tending his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from the flock,(nas)
1Sa 17:35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:35 I went out after him and attacked him, and rescued it from his mouth; and when he rose up against me, I seized him by his beard and struck him and killed him.(nas)
1Sa 17:36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:36 Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has taunted the armies of the living God."(nas)
1Sa 17:37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:37 And David said, "The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and may the Lord be with you."(nas)
1Sa 17:38 And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:38 Then Saul clothed David with his garments and put a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with armor.(nas)
1Sa 17:39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:39 David girded his sword over his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. So David said to Saul, "I cannot go with these, for I have not tested them." And David took them off.(nas)
1Sa 17:40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:40 He took his stick in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag which he had, even in his pouch, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.(nas)
1Sa 17:41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:41 Then the Philistine came on and approached David, with the shield-bearer in front of him.(nas)

 1Sa 17:42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance.(nas)
1Sa 17:43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:43 The Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.(nas)
1Sa 17:44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:44 The Philistine also said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field."(nas)
1Sa 17:45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:45 Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted.(nas)
1Sa 17:46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:46 This day the Lord will deliver you up into my hands, and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,(nas)
1Sa 17:47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:47 and that all this assembly may know that the Lord does not deliver by sword or by spear; for the battle is the Lord's and He will give you into our hands."(nas)
1Sa 17:48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:48 Then it happened when the Philistine rose and came and drew near to meet David, that David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine.(nas)
1Sa 17:49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:49 And David put his hand into his bag and took from it a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead. And the stone sank into his forehead, so that he fell on his face to the ground.(nas)
1Sa 17:50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:50 Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and he struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David's hand.(nas)
1Sa 17:51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.(nas)
1Sa 17:52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:52 The men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted and pursued the Philistines as far as the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the slain Philistines lay along the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and Ekron.(nas)
1Sa 17:53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:53 The sons of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines and plundered their camps.(nas)
1Sa 17:54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:54 Then David took the Philistine's head and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his weapons in his tent.(nas)
1Sa 17:55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:55 Now when Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, "Abner, whose son is this young man?" And Abner said, "By your life, O king, I do not know."(nas)
1Sa 17:56 And the king said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling is. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:56 The king said, "You inquire whose son the youth is."(nas)
1Sa 17:57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. (kjv)
 1Sa 17:57 So when David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the Philistine's head in his hand.(nas)
1Sa 17:58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.(kjv)
 1Sa 17:58 Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" And David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite." (nas)
1Sa 18:1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:1 Now it came about when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as himself.(nas)
1Sa 18:2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:2 Saul took him that day and did not let him return to his father's house.(nas)
1Sa 18:3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.(nas)
1Sa 18:4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:4 Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, including his sword and his bow and his belt.(nas)
1Sa 18:5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:5 So David went out wherever Saul sent him, and prospered; and Saul set him over the men of war. And it was pleasing in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.(nas)
1Sa 18:6 And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:6 It happened as they were coming, when David returned from killing the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy and with musical instruments.(nas)
1Sa 18:7 And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:7 The women sang as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands."(nas)
1Sa 18:8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? (kjv)
 1Sa 18:8 Then Saul became very angry, for this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?"(nas)
1Sa 18:9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:9 Saul looked at David with suspicion from that day on. (nas)
1Sa 18:10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:10 Now it came about on the next day that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he raved in the midst of the house, while David was playing the harp with his hand, as usual; and a spear was in Saul's hand.(nas)
1Sa 18:11 And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:11 Saul hurled the spear for he thought, "I will pin David to the wall." But David escaped from his presence twice.(nas)
1Sa 18:12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:12 Now Saul was afraid of David, for the Lord was with him but had departed from Saul.(nas)
1Sa 18:13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:13 Therefore Saul removed him from his presence and appointed him as his commander of a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.(nas)
1Sa 18:14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:14 David was prospering in all his ways for the Lord was with him.(nas)
1Sa 18:15 Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:15 When Saul saw that he was prospering greatly, he dreaded him.(nas)
1Sa 18:16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, and he went out and came in before them.(nas)
1Sa 18:17 And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:17 Then Saul said to David, "Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife, only be a valiant man for me and fight the Lord's battles." For Saul thought, "My hand shall not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him."(nas)
1Sa 18:18 And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king? (kjv)
 1Sa 18:18 But David said to Saul, "Who am I, and what is my life or my father's family in Israel, that I should be the king's son-in-law?"(nas)
1Sa 18:19 But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:19 So it came about at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife. (nas)
1Sa 18:20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:20 Now Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David. When they told Saul, the thing was agreeable to him.(nas)
1Sa 18:21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:21 Saul thought, "I will give her to him that she may become a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "For a second time you may be my son-in-law today."(nas)
1Sa 18:22 And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son in law. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:22 Then Saul commanded his servants, "Speak to David secretly, saying, 'Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you; now therefore, become the king's son-in-law.'"(nas)
1Sa 18:23 And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king's son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed? (kjv)
 1Sa 18:23 So Saul's servants spoke these words to David. But David said, "Is it trivial in your sight to become the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man and lightly esteemed?"(nas)
1Sa 18:24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:24 The servants of Saul reported to him according to these words which David spoke.(nas)
1Sa 18:25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:25 Saul then said, "Thus you shall say to David, 'The king does not desire any dowry except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to take vengeance on the king's enemies.'" Now Saul planned to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.(nas)
1Sa 18:26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David to become the king's son-in-law. Before the days had expired(nas)
1Sa 18:27 Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:27 David rose up and went, he and his men, and struck down two hundred men among the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave him Michal his daughter for a wife.(nas)
1Sa 18:28 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul's daughter loved him. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:28 When Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him,(nas)
1Sa 18:29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually. (kjv)
 1Sa 18:29 then Saul was even more afraid of David. Thus Saul was David's enemy continually.(nas)
1Sa 18:30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.(kjv)
 1Sa 18:30 Then the commanders of the Philistines went out to battle, and it happened as often as they went out, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul. So his name was highly esteemed. (nas)
1Sa 19:1 And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:1 Now Saul told Jonathan his son and all his servants to put David to death. But Jonathan, Saul's son, greatly delighted in David.(nas)
1Sa 19:2 But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself: (kjv)
 1Sa 19:2 So Jonathan told David saying, "Saul my father is seeking to put you to death. Now therefore, please be on guard in the morning, and stay in a secret place and hide yourself.(nas)
1Sa 19:3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:3 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you; if I find out anything, then I will tell you."(nas)
1Sa 19:4 And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good: (kjv)
 1Sa 19:4 Then Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, "Do not let the king sin against his servant David, since he has not sinned against you, and since his deeds have been very beneficial to you.(nas)
1Sa 19:5 For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause? (kjv)
 1Sa 19:5 For he took his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and the Lord brought about a great deliverance for all Israel; you saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death without a cause?"(nas)
1Sa 19:6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:6 Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul vowed, "As the Lord lives, he shall not be put to death."(nas)
1Sa 19:7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:7 Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these words. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as formerly.(nas)
1Sa 19:8 And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:8 When there was war again, David went out and fought with the Philistines and defeated them with great slaughter, so that they fled before him.(nas)
1Sa 19:9 And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:9 Now there was an evil spirit from the Lord on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, and David was playing the harp with his hand.(nas)
1Sa 19:10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin: but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:10 Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, so that he stuck the spear into the wall. And David fled and escaped that night.(nas)
1Sa 19:11 Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:11 Then Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him, in order to put him to death in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be put to death."(nas)
1Sa 19:12 So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:12 So Michal let David down through a window, and he went out and fled and escaped.(nas)
1Sa 19:13 And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:13 Michal took the household idol and laid it on the bed, and put a quilt of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with clothes.(nas)
1Sa 19:14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:14 When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, "He is sick."(nas)
1Sa 19:15 And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:15 Then Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me on his bed, that I may put him to death."(nas)
1Sa 19:16 And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:16 When the messengers entered, behold, the household idol was on the bed with the quilt of goats' hair at its head.(nas)
1Sa 19:17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee? (kjv)
 1Sa 19:17 So Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" And Michal said to Saul, "He said to me, 'Let me go! Why should I put you to death?'"(nas)
1Sa 19:18 So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:18 Now David fled and escaped and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.(nas)
1Sa 19:19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:19 It was told Saul, saying, "Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah."(nas)
1Sa 19:20 And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:20 Then Saul sent messengers to take David, but when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing and presiding over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul; and they also prophesied.(nas)
1Sa 19:21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:21 When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.(nas)
1Sa 19:22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:22 Then he himself went to Ramah and came as far as the large well that is in Secu; and he asked and said, "Where are Samuel and David?" And someone said, "Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah."(nas)
1Sa 19:23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah. (kjv)
 1Sa 19:23 He proceeded there to Naioth in Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, so that he went along prophesying continually until he came to Naioth in Ramah.(nas)
1Sa 19:24 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?(kjv)
 1Sa 19:24 He also stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" (nas)
1Sa 20:1 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life? (kjv)
 1Sa 20:1 Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, "What have I done? What is my iniquity? And what is my sin before your father, that he is seeking my life?"(nas)
1Sa 20:2 And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:2 He said to him, "Far from it, you shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small without disclosing it to me. So why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!"(nas)
1Sa 20:3 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:3 Yet David vowed again, saying, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your sight, and he has said, 'Do not let Jonathan know this, or he will be grieved.' But truly as the Lord lives and as your soul lives, there is hardly a step between me and death."(nas)
1Sa 20:4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:4 Then Jonathan said to David, "Whatever you say, I will do for you."(nas)
1Sa 20:5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:5 So David said to Jonathan, "Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I ought to sit down to eat with the king. But let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.(nas)
1Sa 20:6 If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:6 If your father misses me at all, then say, 'David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethlehem his city, because it is the yearly sacrifice there for the whole family.'(nas)
1Sa 20:7 If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:7 If he says, 'It is good,' your servant will be safe; but if he is very angry, know that he has decided on evil.(nas)
1Sa 20:8 Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father? (kjv)
 1Sa 20:8 Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the Lord with you. But if there is iniquity in me, put me to death yourself; for why then should you bring me to your father?"(nas)
1Sa 20:9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee? (kjv)
 1Sa 20:9 Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! For if I should indeed learn that evil has been decided by my father to come upon you, then would I not tell you about it?"(nas)
1Sa 20:10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly? (kjv)
 1Sa 20:10 Then David said to Jonathan, "Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?"(nas)
1Sa 20:11 And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:11 Jonathan said to David, "Come, and let us go out into the field." So both of them went out to the field.(nas)
1Sa 20:12 And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee; (kjv)
 1Sa 20:12 Then Jonathan said to David, "The Lord, the God of Israel, be witness! When I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good feeling toward David, shall I not then send to you and make it known to you?(nas)
1Sa 20:13 The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:13 If it please my father to do you harm, may the Lord do so to Jonathan and more also, if I do not make it known to you and send you away, that you may go in safety. And may the Lord be with you as He has been with my father.(nas)
1Sa 20:14 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not: (kjv)
 1Sa 20:14 If I am still alive, will you not show me the lovingkindness of the Lord, that I may not die?(nas)
1Sa 20:15 But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:15 You shall not cut off your lovingkindness from my house forever, not even when the Lord cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth."(nas)
1Sa 20:16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, "May the Lord require it at the hands of David's enemies."(nas)
1Sa 20:17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:17 Jonathan made David vow again because of his love for him, because he loved him as he loved his own life.(nas)
1Sa 20:18 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:18 Then Jonathan said to him, "Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed because your seat will be empty.(nas)
1Sa 20:19 And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:19 When you have stayed for three days, you shall go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself on that eventful day, and you shall remain by the stone Ezel.(nas)
1Sa 20:20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:20 I will shoot three arrows to the side, as though I shot at a target.(nas)
1Sa 20:21 And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:21 And behold, I will send the lad, saying, 'Go, find the arrows.' If I specifically say to the lad, 'Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, get them,' then come; for there is safety for you and no harm, as the Lord lives.(nas)
1Sa 20:22 But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:22 But if I say to the youth, 'Behold, the arrows are beyond you,' go, for the Lord has sent you away.(nas)
1Sa 20:23 And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:23 As for the agreement of which you and I have spoken, behold, the Lord is between you and me forever."(nas)
1Sa 20:24 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:24 So David hid in the field; and when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food.(nas)
1Sa 20:25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:25 The king sat on his seat as usual, the seat by the wall; then Jonathan rose up and Abner sat down by Saul's side, but David's place was empty.(nas)
1Sa 20:26 Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:26 Nevertheless Saul did not speak anything that day, for he thought, "It is an accident, he is not clean, surely he is not clean."(nas)
1Sa 20:27 And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day? (kjv)
 1Sa 20:27 It came about the next day, the second day of the new moon, that David's place was empty; so Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has the son of Jesse not come to the meal, either yesterday or today?"(nas)
1Sa 20:28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem: (kjv)
 1Sa 20:28 Jonathan then answered Saul, "David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem,(nas)
1Sa 20:29 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:29 for he said, 'Please let me go, since our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to attend. And now, if I have found favor in your sight, please let me get away that I may see my brothers.' For this reason he has not come to the king's table." (nas)
1Sa 20:30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness? (kjv)
 1Sa 20:30 Then Saul's anger burned against Jonathan and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you are choosing the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?(nas)
1Sa 20:31 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Therefore now, send and bring him to me, for he must surely die."(nas)
1Sa 20:32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done? (kjv)
 1Sa 20:32 But Jonathan answered Saul his father and said to him, "Why should he be put to death? What has he done?"(nas)
1Sa 20:33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:33 Then Saul hurled his spear at him to strike him down; so Jonathan knew that his father had decided to put David to death.(nas)
1Sa 20:34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:34 Then Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did not eat food on the second day of the new moon, for he was grieved over David because his father had dishonored him.(nas)
1Sa 20:35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:35 Now it came about in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field for the appointment with David, and a little lad was with him.(nas)
1Sa 20:36 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:36 He said to his lad, "Run, find now the arrows which I am about to shoot." As the lad was running, he shot an arrow past him.(nas)
1Sa 20:37 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee? (kjv)
 1Sa 20:37 When the lad reached the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the lad and said, "Is not the arrow beyond you?"(nas)
1Sa 20:38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:38 And Jonathan called after the lad, "Hurry, be quick, do not stay!" And Jonathan's lad picked up the arrow and came to his master.(nas)
1Sa 20:39 But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:39 But the lad was not aware of anything; only Jonathan and David knew about the matter.(nas)
1Sa 20:40 And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:40 Then Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad and said to him, "Go, bring them to the city."(nas)
1Sa 20:41 And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded. (kjv)
 1Sa 20:41 When the lad was gone, David rose from the south side and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times. And they kissed each other and wept together, but David wept the more.(nas)
1Sa 20:42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.(kjv)
 1Sa 20:42 Jonathan said to David, "Go in safety, inasmuch as we have sworn to each other in the name of the Lord, saying, 'The Lord will be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.'" Then he rose and departed, while Jonathan went into the city. (nas)
1Sa 21:1 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee? (kjv)
 1Sa 21:1 Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech came trembling to meet David and said to him, "Why are you alone and no one with you?"(nas)
1Sa 21:2 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place. (kjv)
 1Sa 21:2 David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has commissioned me with a matter and has said to me, 'Let no one know anything about the matter on which I am sending you and with which I have commissioned you; and I have directed the young men to a certain place.'(nas)
1Sa 21:3 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present. (kjv)
 1Sa 21:3 Now therefore, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found."(nas)
1Sa 21:4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women. (kjv)
 1Sa 21:4 The priest answered David and said, "There is no ordinary bread on hand, but there is consecrated bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women."(nas)
1Sa 21:5 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel. (kjv)
 1Sa 21:5 David answered the priest and said to him, "Surely women have been kept from us as previously when I set out and the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was an ordinary journey; how much more then today will their vessels be holy?"(nas)
1Sa 21:6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away. (kjv)
 1Sa 21:6 So the priest gave him consecrated bread; for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence which was removed from before the Lord, in order to put hot bread in its place when it was taken away.(nas)
1Sa 21:7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul. (kjv)
 1Sa 21:7 Now one of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul's shepherds.(nas)
1Sa 21:8 And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste. (kjv)
 1Sa 21:8 David said to Ahimelech, "Now is there not a spear or a sword on hand? For I brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's matter was urgent."(nas)
1Sa 21:9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me. (kjv)
 1Sa 21:9 Then the priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if you would take it for yourself, take it. For there is no other except it here." And David said, "There is none like it; give it to me."(nas)
1Sa 21:10 And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. (kjv)
 1Sa 21:10 Then David arose and fled that day from Saul, and went to Achish king of Gath.(nas)
1Sa 21:11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands? (kjv)
 1Sa 21:11 But the servants of Achish said to him, "Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of this one as they danced, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'?"(nas)
1Sa 21:12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath. (kjv)
 1Sa 21:12 David took these words to heart and greatly feared Achish king of Gath.(nas)
1Sa 21:13 And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard. (kjv)
 1Sa 21:13 So he disguised his sanity before them, and acted insanely in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva run down into his beard.(nas)
1Sa 21:14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me? (kjv)
 1Sa 21:14 Then Achish said to his servants, "Behold, you see the man behaving as a madman. Why do you bring him to me?(nas)
1Sa 21:15 Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?(kjv)
 1Sa 21:15 Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this one to act the madman in my presence? Shall this one come into my house?" (nas)

 1Sa 25:7 Now I have heard that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us and we have not insulted them, nor have they missed anything all the days they were in Carmel.(nas)
1Sa 25:8 Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:8 Ask your young men and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a festive day. Please give whatever you find at hand to your servants and to your son David.'"(nas)
1Sa 25:9 And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:9 When David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in David's name; then they waited.(nas)
1Sa 25:10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:10 But Nabal answered David's servants and said, "Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants today who are each breaking away from his master.(nas)
1Sa 25:11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be? (kjv)
 1Sa 25:11 Shall I then take my bread and my water and my meat that I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men whose origin I do not know?"(nas)
1Sa 25:12 So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:12 So David's young men retraced their way and went back; and they came and told him according to all these words.(nas)
1Sa 25:13 And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:13 David said to his men, "Each of you gird on his sword." So each man girded on his sword. And David also girded on his sword, and about four hundred men went up behind David while two hundred stayed with the baggage.(nas)
1Sa 25:14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, "Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, and he scorned them.(nas)
1Sa 25:15 But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields: (kjv)
 1Sa 25:15 Yet the men were very good to us, and we were not insulted, nor did we miss anything as long as we went about with them, while we were in the fields.(nas)
1Sa 25:16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:16 They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the time we were with them tending the sheep.(nas)
1Sa 25:17 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:17 Now therefore, know and consider what you should do, for evil is plotted against our master and against all his household; and he is such a worthless man that no one can speak to him." (nas)
1Sa 25:18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:18 Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread and two jugs of wine and five sheep already prepared and five measures of roasted grain and a hundred clusters of raisins and two hundred cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys.(nas)
1Sa 25:19 And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:19 She said to her young men, "Go on before me; behold, I am coming after you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal.(nas)
1Sa 25:20 And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert on the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:20 It came about as she was riding on her donkey and coming down by the hidden part of the mountain, that behold, David and his men were coming down toward her; so she met them.(nas)
1Sa 25:21 Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:21 Now David had said, "Surely in vain I have guarded all that this man has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good.(nas)
1Sa 25:22 So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:22 May God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if by morning I leave as much as one male of any who belong to him."(nas)
1Sa 25:23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, (kjv)
 1Sa 25:23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried and dismounted from her donkey, and fell on her face before David and bowed herself to the ground.(nas)
1Sa 25:24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:24 She fell at his feet and said, "On me alone, my lord, be the blame. And please let your maidservant speak to you, and listen to the words of your maidservant.(nas)
1Sa 25:25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:25 Please do not let my lord pay attention to this worthless man, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name and folly is with him; but I your maidservant did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.(nas)
1Sa 25:26 Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:26 "Now therefore, my lord, as the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, since the Lord has restrained you from shedding blood, and from avenging yourself by your own hand, now then let your enemies and those who seek evil against my lord, be as Nabal.(nas)
1Sa 25:27 And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:27 Now let this gift which your maidservant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who accompany my lord.(nas)
1Sa 25:28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:28 Please forgive the transgression of your maidservant; for the Lord will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the Lord, and evil will not be found in you all your days.(nas)
1Sa 25:29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:29 Should anyone rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, then the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the Lord your God; but the lives of your enemies He will sling out as from the hollow of a sling.(nas)
1Sa 25:30 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel; (kjv)
 1Sa 25:30 And when the Lord does for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and appoints you ruler over Israel,(nas)
1Sa 25:31 That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:31 this will not cause grief or a troubled heart to my lord, both by having shed blood without cause and by my lord having avenged himself. When the Lord deals well with my lord, then remember your maidservant."(nas)
1Sa 25:32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: (kjv)
 1Sa 25:32 Then David said to Abigail, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me,(nas)
1Sa 25:33 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:33 and blessed be your discernment, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.(nas)
1Sa 25:34 For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:34 Nevertheless, as the Lord God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from harming you, unless you had come quickly to meet me, surely there would not have been left to Nabal until the morning light as much as one male."(nas)
1Sa 25:35 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:35 So David received from her hand what she had brought him and said to her, "Go up to your house in peace. See, I have listened to you and granted your request."(nas)
1Sa 25:36 And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:36 Then Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; so she did not tell him anything at all until the morning light.(nas)
1Sa 25:37 But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:37 But in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him so that he became as a stone.(nas)
1Sa 25:38 And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:38 About ten days later, the Lord struck Nabal and he died. (nas)
1Sa 25:39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the Lord, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal and has kept back His servant from evil. The Lord has also returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head." Then David sent a proposal to Abigail, to take her as his wife.(nas)
1Sa 25:40 And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:40 When the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, "David has sent us to you to take you as his wife."(nas)
1Sa 25:41 And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:41 She arose and bowed with her face to the ground and said, "Behold, your maidservant is a maid to wash the feet of my lord's servants."(nas)
1Sa 25:42 And Abigail hasted, and arose and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:42 Then Abigail quickly arose, and rode on a donkey, with her five maidens who attended her; and she followed the messengers of David and became his wife.(nas)
1Sa 25:43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives. (kjv)
 1Sa 25:43 David had also taken Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they both became his wives.(nas)
1Sa 25:44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.(kjv)
 1Sa 25:44 Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was from Gallim. (nas)
1Sa 26:1 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon? (kjv)
 1Sa 26:1 Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is not David hiding on the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?"(nas)
1Sa 26:2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:2 So Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having with him three thousand chosen men of Israel, to search for David in the wilderness of Ziph.(nas)
1Sa 26:3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:3 Saul camped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, beside the road, and David was staying in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness,(nas)
1Sa 26:4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:4 David sent out spies, and he knew that Saul was definitely coming.(nas)
1Sa 26:5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:5 David then arose and came to the place where Saul had camped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army; and Saul was lying in the circle of the camp, and the people were camped around him.(nas)
1Sa 26:6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:6 Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?" And Abishai said, "I will go down with you."(nas)
1Sa 26:7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping inside the circle of the camp with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people were lying around him.(nas)
1Sa 26:8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:8 Then Abishai said to David, "Today God has delivered your enemy into your hand; now therefore, please let me strike him with the spear to the ground with one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time."(nas)
1Sa 26:9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless? (kjv)
 1Sa 26:9 But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against the Lord's anointed and be without guilt?"(nas)
1Sa 26:10 David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:10 David also said, "As the Lord lives, surely the Lord will strike him, or his day will come that he dies, or he will go down into battle and perish.(nas)
1Sa 26:11 The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:11 The Lord forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the Lord's anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head and the jug of water, and let us go."(nas)
1Sa 26:12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:12 So David took the spear and the jug of water from beside Saul's head, and they went away, but no one saw or knew it, nor did any awake, for they were all asleep, because a sound sleep from the Lord had fallen on them.(nas)
1Sa 26:13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them: (kjv)
 1Sa 26:13 Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the mountain at a distance with a large area between them.(nas)
1Sa 26:14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king? (kjv)
 1Sa 26:14 David called to the people and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner replied, "Who are you who calls to the king?"(nas)
1Sa 26:15 And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:15 So David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came to destroy the king your lord.(nas)
1Sa 26:16 This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:16 This thing that you have done is not good. As the Lord lives, all of you must surely die, because you did not guard your lord, the Lord's anointed. And now, see where the king's spear is and the jug of water that was at his head."(nas)
1Sa 26:17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:17 Then Saul recognized David's voice and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And David said, "It is my voice, my lord the king."(nas)
1Sa 26:18 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand? (kjv)
 1Sa 26:18 He also said, "Why then is my lord pursuing his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?(nas)
1Sa 26:19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:19 Now therefore, please let my lord the king listen to the words of his servant. If the Lord has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering; but if it is men, cursed are they before the Lord, for they have driven me out today so that I would have no attachment with the inheritance of the Lord, saying, 'Go, serve other gods.'(nas)
1Sa 26:20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:20 Now then, do not let my blood fall to the ground away from the presence of the Lord; for the king of Israel has come out to search for a single flea, just as one hunts a partridge in the mountains."(nas)
1Sa 26:21 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:21 Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will not harm you again because my life was precious in your sight this day. Behold, I have played the fool and have committed a serious error."(nas)
1Sa 26:22 And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:22 David replied, "Behold the spear of the king! Now let one of the young men come over and take it.(nas)
1Sa 26:23 The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:23 The Lord will repay each man for his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the Lord delivered you into my hand today, but I refused to stretch out my hand against the Lord's anointed.(nas)
1Sa 26:24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation. (kjv)
 1Sa 26:24 Now behold, as your life was highly valued in my sight this day, so may my life be highly valued in the sight of the Lord, and may He deliver me from all distress."(nas)
1Sa 26:25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.(kjv)
 1Sa 26:25 Then Saul said to David, "Blessed are you, my son David; you will both accomplish much and surely prevail." So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place. (nas)
1Sa 27:1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand. (kjv)
 1Sa 27:1 Then David said to himself, "Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape into the land of the Philistines. Saul then will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand."(nas)
1Sa 27:2 And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath. (kjv)
 1Sa 27:2 So David arose and crossed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.(nas)
1Sa 27:3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife. (kjv)
 1Sa 27:3 And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's widow.(nas)
1Sa 27:4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him. (kjv)
 1Sa 27:4 Now it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.(nas)
1Sa 27:5 And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee? (kjv)
 1Sa 27:5 Then David said to Achish, "If now I have found favor in your sight, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?"(nas)
1Sa 27:6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day. (kjv)
 1Sa 27:6 So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.(nas)
1Sa 27:7 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months. (kjv)
 1Sa 27:7 The number of days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.(nas)
1Sa 27:8 And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt. (kjv)
 1Sa 27:8 Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for they were the inhabitants of the land from ancient times, as you come to Shur even as far as the land of Egypt.(nas)
1Sa 27:9 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish. (kjv)
 1Sa 27:9 David attacked the land and did not leave a man or a woman alive, and he took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned and came to Achish.(nas)
1Sa 27:10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites. (kjv)
 1Sa 27:10 Now Achish said, "Where have you made a raid today?" And David said, "Against the Negev of Judah and against the Negev of the Jerahmeelites and against the Negev of the Kenites."(nas)
1Sa 27:11 And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines. (kjv)
 1Sa 27:11 David did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying, "Otherwise they will tell about us, saying, 'So has David done and so has been his practice all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.'"(nas)

2Sa 11:10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house? (kjv)
 2Sa 11:10 Now when they told David, saying, "Uriah did not go down to his house," David said to Uriah, "Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?"(nas)
2Sa 11:11 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing. (kjv)
 2Sa 11:11 Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in temporary shelters, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camping in the open field. Shall I then go to my house to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? By your life and the life of your soul, I will not do this thing."(nas)
2Sa 11:12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow. (kjv)
 2Sa 11:12 Then David said to Uriah, "Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you go." So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next.(nas)

 2Sa 11:14 Now in the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.(nas)
2Sa 11:15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die. (kjv)
 2Sa 11:15 He had written in the letter, saying, "Place Uriah in the front line of the fiercest battle and withdraw from him, so that he may be struck down and die."(nas)
2Sa 11:16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were. (kjv)
 2Sa 11:16 So it was as Joab kept watch on the city, that he put Uriah at the place where he knew there were valiant men.(nas)
2Sa 11:17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also. (kjv)
 2Sa 11:17 The men of the city went out and fought against Joab, and some of the people among David's servants fell; and Uriah the Hittite also died.(nas)
2Sa 11:18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war; (kjv)
 2Sa 11:18 Then Joab sent and reported to David all the events of the war.(nas)
2Sa 11:19 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king, (kjv)
 2Sa 11:19 He charged the messenger, saying, "When you have finished telling all the events of the war to the king,(nas)
2Sa 11:20 And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall? (kjv)
 2Sa 11:20 and if it happens that the king's wrath rises and he says to you, 'Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall?(nas)
2Sa 11:21 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. (kjv)
 2Sa 11:21 Who struck down Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman throw an upper millstone on him from the wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?'"then you shall say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'"(nas)
2Sa 11:22 So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for. (kjv)
 2Sa 11:22 So the messenger departed and came and reported to David all that Joab had sent him to tell.(nas)
2Sa 11:23 And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate. (kjv)

 2Sa 11:24 Moreover, the archers shot at your servants from the wall; so some of the king's servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead."(nas)
2Sa 11:25 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him. (kjv)
 2Sa 11:25 Then David said to the messenger, "Thus you shall say to Joab, 'Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another; make your battle against the city stronger and overthrow it'; and so encourage him."(nas)
2Sa 11:26 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. (kjv)
 2Sa 11:26 Now when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.(nas)
2Sa 11:27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.(kjv)
 2Sa 11:27 When the time of mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house and she became his wife; then she bore him a son. But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the Lord. (nas)
2Sa 12:1 And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:1 Then the Lord sent Nathan to David. And he came to him and said, "There were two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor.(nas)
2Sa 12:2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: (kjv)
 2Sa 12:2 "The rich man had a great many flocks and herds.(nas)
2Sa 12:3 But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:3 "But the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb Which he bought and nourished; And it grew up together with him and his children. It would eat of his bread and drink of his cup and lie in his bosom, And was like a daughter to him. (nas)
2Sa 12:4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:4 "Now a traveler came to the rich man, And he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd, To prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him; Rather he took the poor man's ewe lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him."(nas)
2Sa 12:5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die: (kjv)
 2Sa 12:5 Then David's anger burned greatly against the man, and he said to Nathan, "As the Lord lives, surely the man who has done this deserves to die.(nas)
2Sa 12:6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:6 He must make restitution for the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and had no compassion."(nas)
2Sa 12:7 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; (kjv)
 2Sa 12:7 Nathan then said to David, "You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel, 'It is I who anointed you king over Israel and it is I who delivered you from the hand of Saul.(nas)
2Sa 12:8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:8 I also gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your care, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added to you many more things like these!(nas)
2Sa 12:9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:9 Why have you despised the word of the Lord by doing evil in His sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.(nas)
2Sa 12:10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:10 Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.'(nas)
2Sa 12:11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:11 Thus says the Lord, 'Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own household; I will even take your wives before your eyes and give them to your companion, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight.(nas)
2Sa 12:12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:12 Indeed you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and under the sun.'"(nas)
2Sa 12:13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:13 Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord." And Nathan said to David, "The Lord also has taken away your sin; you shall not die.(nas)
2Sa 12:14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:14 However, because by this deed you have given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born to you shall surely die."(nas)
2Sa 12:15 And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:15 So Nathan went to his house.  Then the Lord struck the child that Uriah's widow bore to David, so that he was very sick.(nas)
2Sa 12:16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. (kjv)

 2Sa 12:17 The elders of his household stood beside him in order to raise him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat food with them.(nas)
2Sa 12:18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead? (kjv)
 2Sa 12:18 Then it happened on the seventh day that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, "Behold, while the child was still alive, we spoke to him and he did not listen to our voice. How then can we tell him that the child is dead, since he might do himself harm!"(nas)
2Sa 12:19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:19 But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; so David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" And they said, "He is dead."(nas)
2Sa 12:20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:20 So David arose from the ground, washed, anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he came into the house of the Lord and worshiped. Then he came to his own house, and when he requested, they set food before him and he ate.(nas)
2Sa 12:21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:21 Then his servants said to him, "What is this thing that you have done? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept; but when the child died, you arose and ate food."(nas)
2Sa 12:22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live? (kjv)
 2Sa 12:22 He said, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, 'Who knows, the Lord may be gracious to me, that the child may live.'(nas)
2Sa 12:23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:23 But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me." (nas)
2Sa 12:24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:24 Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and went in to her and lay with her; and she gave birth to a son, and he named him Solomon. Now the Lord loved him(nas)
2Sa 12:25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:25 and sent word through Nathan the prophet, and he named him Jedidiah for the Lord's sake. (nas)
2Sa 12:26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon and captured the royal city.(nas)
2Sa 12:27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:27 Joab sent messengers to David and said, "I have fought against Rabbah, I have even captured the city of waters.(nas)
2Sa 12:28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:28 Now therefore, gather the rest of the people together and camp against the city and capture it, or I will capture the city myself and it will be named after me."(nas)
2Sa 12:29 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:29 So David gathered all the people and went to Rabbah, fought against it and captured it.(nas)
2Sa 12:30 And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance. (kjv)
 2Sa 12:30 Then he took the crown of their king from his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it was a precious stone; and it was placed on David's head. And he brought out the spoil of the city in great amounts.(nas)
2Sa 12:31 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.(kjv)
 2Sa 12:31 He also brought out the people who were in it, and set them under saws, sharp iron instruments, and iron axes, and made them pass through the brickkiln. And thus he did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. (nas)
2Sa 13:1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:1 Now it was after this that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister whose name was Tamar, and Amnon the son of David loved her.(nas)
2Sa 13:2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do anything to her. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:2 Amnon was so frustrated because of his sister Tamar that he made himself ill, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.(nas)
2Sa 13:3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother; and Jonadab was a very shrewd man.(nas)
2Sa 13:4 And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:4 He said to him, "O son of the king, why are you so depressed morning after morning? Will you not tell me?" Then Amnon said to him, "I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom."(nas)
2Sa 13:5 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:5 Jonadab then said to him, "Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill; when your father comes to see you, say to him, 'Please let my sister Tamar come and give me some food to eat, and let her prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat from her hand.'"(nas)
2Sa 13:6 So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:6 So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."(nas)
2Sa 13:7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:7 Then David sent to the house for Tamar, saying, "Go now to your brother Amnon's house, and prepare food for him."(nas)
2Sa 13:8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house, and he was lying down. And she took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.(nas)
2Sa 13:9 And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:9 She took the pan and dished them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, "Have everyone go out from me." So everyone went out from him.(nas)
2Sa 13:10 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the bedroom, that I may eat from your hand." So Tamar took the cakes which she had made and brought them into the bedroom to her brother Amnon.(nas)
2Sa 13:11 And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:11 When she brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, "Come, lie with me, my sister."(nas)
2Sa 13:12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:12 But she answered him, "No, my brother, do not violate me, for such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this disgraceful thing!(nas)
2Sa 13:13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:13 As for me, where could I get rid of my reproach? And as for you, you will be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you."(nas)
2Sa 13:14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:14 However, he would not listen to her; since he was stronger than she, he violated her and lay with her.(nas)
2Sa 13:15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:15 Then Amnon hated her with a very great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Get up, go away!"(nas)
2Sa 13:16 And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:16 But she said to him, "No, because this wrong in sending me away is greater than the other that you have done to me!" Yet he would not listen to her.(nas)
2Sa 13:17 Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:17 Then he called his young man who attended him and said, "Now throw this woman out of my presence, and lock the door behind her."(nas)
2Sa 13:18 And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:18 Now she had on a long-sleeved garment; for in this manner the virgin daughters of the king dressed themselves in robes. Then his attendant took her out and locked the door behind her.(nas)
2Sa 13:19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:19 Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her long-sleeved garment which was on her; and she put her hand on her head and went away, crying aloud as she went.(nas)
2Sa 13:20 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:20 Then Absalom her brother said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now keep silent, my sister, he is your brother; do not take this matter to heart." So Tamar remained and was desolate in her brother Absalom's house.(nas)
2Sa 13:21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:21 Now when King David heard of all these matters, he was very angry.(nas)
2Sa 13:22 And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:22 But Absalom did not speak to Amnon either good or bad; for Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.(nas)
2Sa 13:23 And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:23 Now it came about after two full years that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king's sons. (nas)
2Sa 13:24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:24 Absalom came to the king and said, "Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; please let the king and his servants go with your servant."(nas)
2Sa 13:25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:25 But the king said to Absalom, "No, my son, we should not all go, for we will be burdensome to you." Although he urged him, he would not go, but blessed him.(nas)
2Sa 13:26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee? (kjv)
 2Sa 13:26 Then Absalom said, "If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us." And the king said to him, "Why should he go with you?"(nas)
2Sa 13:27 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:27 But when Absalom urged him, he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.(nas)
2Sa 13:28 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:28 Absalom commanded his servants, saying, "See now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, 'Strike Amnon,' then put him to death. Do not fear; have not I myself commanded you? Be courageous and be valiant."(nas)
2Sa 13:29 And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:29 The servants of Absalom did to Amnon just as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose and each mounted his mule and fled.(nas)
2Sa 13:30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:30 Now it was while they were on the way that the report came to David, saying, "Absalom has struck down all the king's sons, and not one of them is left."(nas)
2Sa 13:31 Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:31 Then the king arose, tore his clothes and lay on the ground; and all his servants were standing by with clothes torn.(nas)
2Sa 13:32 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:32 Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, responded, "Do not let my lord suppose they have put to death all the young men, the king's sons, for Amnon alone is dead; because by the intent of Absalom this has been determined since the day that he violated his sister Tamar.(nas)
2Sa 13:33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:33 Now therefore, do not let my lord the king take the report to heart, namely, 'all the king's sons are dead,' for only Amnon is dead."(nas)
2Sa 13:34 But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behind him. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:34 Now Absalom had fled. And the young man who was the watchman raised his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming from the road behind him by the side of the mountain.(nas)
2Sa 13:35 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:35 Jonadab said to the king, "Behold, the king's sons have come; according to your servant's word, so it happened."(nas)
2Sa 13:36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:36 As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king's sons came and lifted their voices and wept; and also the king and all his servants wept very bitterly.(nas)
2Sa 13:37 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:37 Now Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.(nas)
2Sa 13:38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years. (kjv)
 2Sa 13:38 So Absalom had fled and gone to Geshur, and was there three years.(nas)
2Sa 13:39 And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.(kjv)
 2Sa 13:39 The heart of King David longed to go out to Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead. (nas)
2Sa 14:1 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:1 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was inclined toward Absalom.(nas)
2Sa 14:2 And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead: (kjv)
 2Sa 14:2 So Joab sent to Tekoa and brought a wise woman from there and said to her, "Please pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning garments now, and do not anoint yourself with oil, but be like a woman who has been mourning for the dead many days;(nas)
2Sa 14:3 And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:3 then go to the king and speak to him in this manner." So Joab put the words in her mouth.(nas)
2Sa 14:4 And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:4 Now when the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground and prostrated herself and said, "Help, O king."(nas)
2Sa 14:5 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:5 The king said to her, "What is your trouble?" And she answered, "Truly I am a widow, for my husband is dead.(nas)
2Sa 14:6 And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and slew him. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:6 Your maidservant had two sons, but the two of them struggled together in the field, and there was no one to separate them, so one struck the other and killed him.(nas)
2Sa 14:7 And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:7 Now behold, the whole family has risen against your maidservant, and they say, 'Hand over the one who struck his brother, that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed, and destroy the heir also.' Thus they will extinguish my coal which is left, so as to leave my husband neither name nor remnant on the face of the earth."(nas)
2Sa 14:8 And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:8 Then the king said to the woman, "Go to your house, and I will give orders concerning you."(nas)
2Sa 14:9 And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne be guiltless. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:9 The woman of Tekoa said to the king, "O my lord, the king, the iniquity is on me and my father's house, but the king and his throne are guiltless."(nas)
2Sa 14:10 And the king said, Whoever saith ought unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:10 So the king said, "Whoever speaks to you, bring him to me, and he will not touch you anymore."(nas)
2Sa 14:11 Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:11 Then she said, "Please let the king remember the Lord your God, so that the avenger of blood will not continue to destroy, otherwise they will destroy my son." And he said, "As the Lord lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground."(nas)
2Sa 14:12 Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:12 Then the woman said, "Please let your maidservant speak a word to my lord the king." And he said, "Speak."(nas)
2Sa 14:13 And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:13 The woman said, "Why then have you planned such a thing against the people of God? For in speaking this word the king is as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring back his banished one.(nas)
2Sa 14:14 For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:14 For we will surely die and are like water spilled on the ground which cannot be gathered up again. Yet God does not take away life, but plans ways so that the banished one will not be cast out from him.(nas)
2Sa 14:15 Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:15 Now the reason I have come to speak this word to my lord the king is that the people have made me afraid; so your maidservant said, 'Let me now speak to the king, perhaps the king will perform the request of his maidservant.(nas)
2Sa 14:16 For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:16 For the king will hear and deliver his maidservant from the hand of the man who would destroy both me and my son from the inheritance of God.'(nas)
2Sa 14:17 Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:17 Then your maidservant said, 'Please let the word of my lord the king be comforting, for as the angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and evil. And may the Lord your God be with you.'"(nas)
2Sa 14:18 Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:18 Then the king answered and said to the woman, "Please do not hide anything from me that I am about to ask you." And the woman said, "Let my lord the king please speak."(nas)
2Sa 14:19 And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid: (kjv)
 2Sa 14:19 So the king said, "Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?" And the woman replied, "As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken. Indeed, it was your servant Joab who commanded me, and it was he who put all these words in the mouth of your maidservant;(nas)
2Sa 14:20 To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:20 in order to change the appearance of things your servant Joab has done this thing. But my lord is wise, like the wisdom of the angel of God, to know all that is in the earth." (nas)
2Sa 14:21 And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:21 Then the king said to Joab, "Behold now, I will surely do this thing; go therefore, bring back the young man Absalom."(nas)
2Sa 14:22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:22 Joab fell on his face to the ground, prostrated himself and blessed the king; then Joab said, "Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, O my lord, the king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant."(nas)
2Sa 14:23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.(nas)
2Sa 14:24 And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:24 However the king said, "Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face." So Absalom turned to his own house and did not see the king's face.(nas)
2Sa 14:25 But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:25 Now in all Israel was no one as handsome as Absalom, so highly praised; from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no defect in him.(nas)
2Sa 14:26 And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:26 When he cut the hair of his head (and it was at the end of every year that he cut it, for it was heavy on him so he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at 200 shekels by the king's weight.(nas)
2Sa 14:27 And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:27 To Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a woman of beautiful appearance.(nas)
2Sa 14:28 So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:28 Now Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem, and did not see the king's face.(nas)
2Sa 14:29 Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:29 Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. So he sent again a second time, but he would not come.(nas)
2Sa 14:30 Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:30 Therefore he said to his servants, "See, Joab's field is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire." So Absalom's servants set the field on fire.(nas)
2Sa 14:31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire? (kjv)
 2Sa 14:31 Then Joab arose, came to Absalom at his house and said to him, "Why have your servants set my field on fire?"(nas)
2Sa 14:32 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me. (kjv)
 2Sa 14:32 Absalom answered Joab, "Behold, I sent for you, saying, 'Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, "Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me still to be there."' Now therefore, let me see the king's face, and if there is iniquity in me, let him put me to death."(nas)
2Sa 14:33 So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.(kjv)
 2Sa 14:33 So when Joab came to the king and told him, he called for Absalom. Thus he came to the king and prostrated himself on his face to the ground before the king, and the king kissed Absalom. (nas)
2Sa 15:1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:1 Now it came about after this that Absalom provided for himself a chariot and horses and fifty men as runners before him.(nas)
2Sa 15:2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:2 Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the way to the gate; and when any man had a suit to come to the king for judgment, Absalom would call to him and say, "From what city are you?" And he would say, "Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel."(nas)
2Sa 15:3 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:3 Then Absalom would say to him, "See, your claims are good and right, but no man listens to you on the part of the king."(nas)
2Sa 15:4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice! (kjv)
 2Sa 15:4 Moreover, Absalom would say, "Oh that one would appoint me judge in the land, then every man who has any suit or cause could come to me and I would give him justice."(nas)
2Sa 15:5 And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:5 And when a man came near to prostrate himself before him, he would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him.(nas)
2Sa 15:6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:6 In this manner Absalom dealt with all Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole away the hearts of the men of Israel.(nas)
2Sa 15:7 And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:7 Now it came about at the end of forty years that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow which I have vowed to the Lord, in Hebron.(nas)
2Sa 15:8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:8 For your servant vowed a vow while I was living at Geshur in Aram, saying, 'If the Lord shall indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.'"(nas)
2Sa 15:9 And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:9 The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose and went to Hebron.(nas)
2Sa 15:10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, 'Absalom is king in Hebron.'"(nas)
2Sa 15:11 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:11 Then two hundred men went with Absalom from Jerusalem, who were invited and went innocently, and they did not know anything.(nas)
2Sa 15:12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom. (nas)

 2Sa 15:13 Then a messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom."(nas)
2Sa 15:14 And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:14 David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise and let us flee, for otherwise none of us will escape from Absalom. Go in haste, or he will overtake us quickly and bring down calamity on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword."(nas)
2Sa 15:15 And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:15 Then the king's servants said to the king, "Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses."(nas)
2Sa 15:16 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:16 So the king went out and all his household with him. But the king left ten concubines to keep the house.(nas)
2Sa 15:17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:17 The king went out and all the people with him, and they stopped at the last house.(nas)
2Sa 15:18 And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:18 Now all his servants passed on beside him, all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites and all the Gittites, six hundred men who had come with him from Gath, passed on before the king.(nas)
2Sa 15:19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why will you also go with us? Return and remain with the king, for you are a foreigner and also an exile; return to your own place.(nas)
2Sa 15:20 Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:20 You came only yesterday, and shall I today make you wander with us, while I go where I will? Return and take back your brothers; mercy and truth be with you."(nas)
2Sa 15:21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:21 But Ittai answered the king and said, "As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely wherever my lord the king may be, whether for death or for life, there also your servant will be."(nas)
2Sa 15:22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:22 Therefore David said to Ittai, "Go and pass over." So Ittai the Gittite passed over with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.(nas)
2Sa 15:23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:23 While all the country was weeping with a loud voice, all the people passed over. The king also passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.(nas)
2Sa 15:24 And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:24 Now behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar came up until all the people had finished passing from the city.(nas)
2Sa 15:25 And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation: (kjv)
 2Sa 15:25 The king said to Zadok, "Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the sight of the Lord, then He will bring me back again and show me both it and His habitation.(nas)
2Sa 15:26 But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:26 But if He should say thus, 'I have no delight in you,' behold, here I am, let Him do to me as seems good to Him."(nas)
2Sa 15:27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:27 The king said also to Zadok the priest, "Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace and your two sons with you, your son Ahimaaz and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.(nas)
2Sa 15:28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:28 See, I am going to wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me."(nas)
2Sa 15:29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:29 Therefore Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and remained there.(nas)
2Sa 15:30 And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up. (kjv)

 2Sa 15:33 David said to him, "If you pass over with me, then you will be a burden to me.(nas)
2Sa 15:34 But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:34 But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, 'I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father's servant in time past, so I will now be your servant,' then you can thwart the counsel of Ahithophel for me.(nas)
2Sa 15:35 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:35 Are not Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? So it shall be that whatever you hear from the king's house, you shall report to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.(nas)
2Sa 15:36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok's son, and Jonathan Abiathar's son; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear. (kjv)
 2Sa 15:36 Behold their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son and Jonathan, Abiathar's son; and by them you shall send me everything that you hear."(nas)
2Sa 15:37 So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.(kjv)
 2Sa 15:37 So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem. (nas)
2Sa 16:1 And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:1 Now when David had passed a little beyond the summit, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of saddled donkeys, and on them were two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred clusters of raisins, a hundred summer fruits, and a jug of wine.(nas)
2Sa 16:2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:2 The king said to Ziba, "Why do you have these?" And Ziba said, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride, and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine, for whoever is faint in the wilderness to drink."(nas)
2Sa 16:3 And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:3 Then the king said, "And where is your master's son?" And Ziba said to the king, "Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.'"(nas)
2Sa 16:4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:4 So the king said to Ziba, "Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours." And Ziba said, "I prostrate myself; let me find favor in your sight, O my lord, the king!" (nas)
2Sa 16:5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:5 When King David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out from there a man of the family of the house of Saul whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out cursing continually as he came.(nas)
2Sa 16:6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:6 He threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David; and all the people and all the mighty men were at his right hand and at his left.(nas)
2Sa 16:7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial: (kjv)
 2Sa 16:7 Thus Shimei said when he cursed, "Get out, get out, you man of bloodshed, and worthless fellow!(nas)
2Sa 16:8 The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:8 The Lord has returned upon you all the bloodshed of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. And behold, you are taken in your own evil, for you are a man of bloodshed!"(nas)
2Sa 16:9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:9 Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over now and cut off his head."(nas)
2Sa 16:10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so? (kjv)
 2Sa 16:10 But the king said, "What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah? If he curses, and if the Lord has told him, 'Curse David,' then who shall say, 'Why have you done so?'"(nas)
2Sa 16:11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Behold, my son who came out from me seeks my life; how much more now this Benjamite? Let him alone and let him curse, for the Lord has told him.(nas)
2Sa 16:12 It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:12 Perhaps the Lord will look on my affliction and return good to me instead of his cursing this day."(nas)
2Sa 16:13 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:13 So David and his men went on the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside parallel with him and as he went he cursed and cast stones and threw dust at him.(nas)
2Sa 16:14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:14 The king and all the people who were with him arrived weary and he refreshed himself there. (nas)
2Sa 16:15 And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:15 Then Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, entered Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.(nas)
2Sa 16:16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:16 Now it came about when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"(nas)
2Sa 16:17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend? (kjv)
 2Sa 16:17 Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"(nas)
2Sa 16:18 And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:18 Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No! For whom the Lord, this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.(nas)
2Sa 16:19 And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:19 Besides, whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so I will be in your presence."(nas)
2Sa 16:20 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give your advice. What shall we do?"(nas)
2Sa 16:21 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:21 Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself odious to your father. The hands of all who are with you will also be strengthened."(nas)
2Sa 16:22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel. (kjv)
 2Sa 16:22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.(nas)
2Sa 16:23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.(kjv)
 2Sa 16:23 The advice of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if one inquired of the word of God; so was all the advice of Ahithophel regarded by both David and Absalom. (nas)
2Sa 17:1 Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night: (kjv)
 2Sa 17:1 Furthermore, Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Please let me choose 12,000 men that I may arise and pursue David tonight.(nas)
2Sa 17:2 And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only: (kjv)
 2Sa 17:2 I will come upon him while he is weary and exhausted and terrify him, so that all the people who are with him will flee. Then I will strike down the king alone,(nas)
2Sa 17:3 And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:3 and I will bring back all the people to you. The return of everyone depends on the man you seek; then all the people will be at peace."(nas)
2Sa 17:4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:4 So the plan pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel.(nas)
2Sa 17:5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:5 Then Absalom said, "Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he has to say."(nas)
2Sa 17:6 And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:6 When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom said to him, "Ahithophel has spoken thus. Shall we carry out his plan? If not, you speak."(nas)
2Sa 17:7 And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:7 So Hushai said to Absalom, "This time the advice that Ahithophel has given is not good."(nas)
2Sa 17:8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:8 Moreover, Hushai said, "You know your father and his men, that they are mighty men and they are fierce, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. And your father is an expert in warfare, and will not spend the night with the people.(nas)
2Sa 17:9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:9 Behold, he has now hidden himself in one of the caves or in another place; and it will be when he falls on them at the first attack, that whoever hears it will say, 'There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.'(nas)
2Sa 17:10 And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:10 And even the one who is valiant, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will completely lose heart; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man and those who are with him are valiant men.(nas)
2Sa 17:11 Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:11 But I counsel that all Israel be surely gathered to you, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea in abundance, and that you personally go into battle.(nas)
2Sa 17:12 So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:12 So we shall come to him in one of the places where he can be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men who are with him, not even one will be left.(nas)
2Sa 17:13 Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:13 If he withdraws into a city, then all Israel shall bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it into the valley until not even a small stone is found there."(nas)
2Sa 17:14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel." For the Lord had ordained to thwart the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the Lord might bring calamity on Absalom.(nas)
2Sa 17:15 Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, "This is what Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel, and this is what I have counseled.(nas)
2Sa 17:16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:16 Now therefore, send quickly and tell David, saying, 'Do not spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means cross over, or else the king and all the people who are with him will be destroyed.'"(nas)
2Sa 17:17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by Enrogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king David. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, and a maidservant would go and tell them, and they would go and tell King David, for they could not be seen entering the city.(nas)
2Sa 17:18 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:18 But a lad did see them and told Absalom; so the two of them departed quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard, and they went down into it.(nas)
2Sa 17:19 And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:19 And the woman took a covering and spread it over the well's mouth and scattered grain on it, so that nothing was known.(nas)
2Sa 17:20 And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:20 Then Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house and said, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" And the woman said to them, "They have crossed the brook of water." And when they searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.(nas)
2Sa 17:21 And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:21 It came about after they had departed that they came up out of the well and went and told King David; and they said to David, "Arise and cross over the water quickly for thus Ahithophel has counseled against you."(nas)
2Sa 17:22 Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:22 Then David and all the people who were with him arose and crossed the Jordan; and by dawn not even one remained who had not crossed the Jordan.(nas)
2Sa 17:23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:23 Now when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and arose and went to his home, to his city, and set his house in order, and strangled himself; thus he died and was buried in the grave of his father.(nas)
2Sa 17:24 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:24 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.(nas)
2Sa 17:25 And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man's son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:25 Absalom set Amasa over the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.(nas)
2Sa 17:26 So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead. (kjv)
 2Sa 17:26 And Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.(nas)
2Sa 17:27 And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim, (kjv)
 2Sa 17:27 Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,(nas)
2Sa 17:28 Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse, (kjv)
 2Sa 17:28 brought beds, basins, pottery, wheat, barley, flour, parched grain, beans, lentils, parched seeds,(nas)
2Sa 17:29 And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.(kjv)
 2Sa 17:29 honey, curds, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David and for the people who were with him, to eat; for they said, "The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness." (nas)
2Sa 18:1 And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds over them. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:1 Then David numbered the people who were with him and set over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.(nas)
2Sa 18:2 And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:2 David sent the people out, one third under the command of Joab, one third under the command of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and one third under the command of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, "I myself will surely go out with you also."(nas)
2Sa 18:3 But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the city. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:3 But the people said, "You should not go out; for if we indeed flee, they will not care about us; even if half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that you be ready to help us from the city."(nas)
2Sa 18:4 And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:4 Then the king said to them, "Whatever seems best to you I will do." So the king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and thousands.(nas)
2Sa 18:5 And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:5 The king charged Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, "Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom." And all the people heard when the king charged all the commanders concerning Absalom.(nas)
2Sa 18:6 So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim; (kjv)
 2Sa 18:6 Then the people went out into the field against Israel, and the battle took place in the forest of Ephraim.(nas)
2Sa 18:7 Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:7 The people of Israel were defeated there before the servants of David, and the slaughter there that day was great, 20,000 men.(nas)
2Sa 18:8 For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:8 For the battle there was spread over the whole countryside, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.(nas)
2Sa 18:9 And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:9 Now Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. For Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak. And his head caught fast in the oak, so he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him kept going.(nas)
2Sa 18:10 And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:10 When a certain man saw it, he told Joab and said, "Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak."(nas)
2Sa 18:11 And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:11 Then Joab said to the man who had told him, "Now behold, you saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? And I would have given you ten pieces of silver and a belt."(nas)
2Sa 18:12 And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:12 The man said to Joab, "Even if I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I would not put out my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king charged you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, 'Protect for me the young man Absalom!'(nas)
2Sa 18:13 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:13 Otherwise, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof."(nas)
2Sa 18:14 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:14 Then Joab said, "I will not waste time here with you." So he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through the heart of Absalom while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.(nas)
2Sa 18:15 And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:15 And ten young men who carried Joab's armor gathered around and struck Absalom and killed him.(nas)
2Sa 18:16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:16 Then Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel, for Joab restrained the people.(nas)
2Sa 18:17 And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:17 They took Absalom and cast him into a deep pit in the forest and erected over him a very great heap of stones. And all Israel fled, each to his tent.(nas)
2Sa 18:18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself a pillar which is in the King's Valley, for he said, "I have no son to preserve my name." So he named the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom's Monument to this day. (nas)
2Sa 18:19 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:19 Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, "Please let me run and bring the king news that the Lord has freed him from the hand of his enemies."(nas)
2Sa 18:20 And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:20 But Joab said to him, "You are not the man to carry news this day, but you shall carry news another day; however, you shall carry no news today because the king's son is dead."(nas)
2Sa 18:21 Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran. (kjv)
 2Sa 18:21 Then Joab said to the Cushite, "Go, tell the king what you have seen." So the Cushite bowed to Joab and ran.(nas)
2Sa 18:22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready? (kjv)
 2Sa 18:22 Now Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said once more to Joab, "But whatever happens, please let me also run after the Cushite." And Joab said, "Why would you run, my son, since you will have no reward for going?"(nas)
2Sa 18:23 But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi. (kjv)

 2Sa 18:33 The king was deeply moved and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And thus he said as he walked, "O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!" (nas)

 2Sa 19:5 Then Joab came into the house to the king and said, "Today you have covered with shame the faces of all your servants, who today have saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters, the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines,(nas)
2Sa 19:6 In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well. (kjv)
 2Sa 19:6 by loving those who hate you, and by hating those who love you. For you have shown today that princes and servants are nothing to you; for I know this day that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then you would be pleased.(nas)
2Sa 19:7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now. (kjv)
 2Sa 19:7 Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by the Lord, if you do not go out, surely not a man will pass the night with you, and this will be worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now." (nas)

 2Sa 19:35 I am now eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I hear anymore the voice of singing men and women? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?(nas)

 2Sa 19:42 Then all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king's expense, or has anything been taken for us?"(nas)
2Sa 19:43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.(kjv)
 2Sa 19:43 But the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, "We have ten parts in the king, therefore we also have more claim on David than you. Why then did you treat us with contempt?

2Sa 20:10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri. (kjv)
 2Sa 20:10 But Amasa was not on guard against the sword which was in Joab's hand so he struck him in the belly with it and poured out his inward parts on the ground, and did not strike him again, and he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.(nas)
2Sa 20:11 And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab. (kjv)
 2Sa 20:11 Now there stood by him one of Joab's young men, and said, "Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab."(nas)
2Sa 20:12 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still. (kjv)

 Neh 13:19 It came about that just as it grew dark at the gates of Jerusalem before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut and that they should not open them until after the sabbath.

Neh 13:20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice. (kjv)
 Neh 13:20 Once or twice the traders and merchants of every kind of merchandise spent the night outside Jerusalem.(nas)
Neh 13:21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath. (kjv)
 Neh 13:21 Then I warned them and said to them, "Why do you spend the night in front of the wall? If you do so again, I will use force against you." From that time on they did not come on the sabbath.(nas)
Neh 13:22 And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy. (kjv)
 Neh 13:22 And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves and come as gatekeepers to sanctify the sabbath day. For this also remember me, O my God, and have compassion on me according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness. (nas)
Neh 13:23 In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab: (kjv)
 Neh 13:23 In those days I also saw that the Jews had married women from Ashdod, Ammon and Moab.(nas)
Neh 13:24 And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people. (kjv)
 Neh 13:24 As for their children, half spoke in the language of Ashdod, and none of them was able to speak the language of Judah, but the language of his own people.(nas)
Neh 13:25 And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves. (kjv)
 Neh 13:25 So I contended with them and cursed them and struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them swear by God, "You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take of their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.(nas)

 Neh 13:26 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin regarding these things? Yet among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel; nevertheless the foreign women caused even him to sin.(nas)
Neh 13:27 Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives? (kjv)
 Neh 13:27 Do we then hear about you that you have committed all this great evil by acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign women?"(nas)
Neh 13:28 And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me. (kjv)
 Neh 13:28 Even one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was a son-in-law of Sanballat the Horonite, so I drove him away from me.(nas)
Neh 13:29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites. (kjv)
 Neh 13:29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and the Levites.(nas)

 Neh 13:30 Thus I purified them from everything foreign and appointed duties for the priests and the Levites, each in his task,(nas)

 Est 1:2 in those days as King Ahasuerus sat on his royal throne which was at the citadel in Susa,(nas)

 Est 1:8 The drinking was done according to the law, there was no compulsion, for so the king had given orders to each official of his household that he should do according to the desires of each person.(nas)
Est 1:9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus. (kjv)
 Est 1:9 Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus. (nas)
Est 1:10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king, (kjv)
 Est 1:10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar and Carkas, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus,(nas)
Est 1:11 To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on. (kjv)
 Est 1:11 to bring Queen Vashti before the king with her royal crown in order to display her beauty to the people and the princes, for she was beautiful.(nas)
Est 1:12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him. (kjv)
 Est 1:12 But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command delivered by the eunuchs. Then the king became very angry and his wrath burned within him.(nas)
Est 1:13 Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king's manner toward all that knew law and judgment: (kjv)
 Est 1:13 Then the king said to the wise men who understood the times--for it was the custom of the king so to speak before all who knew law and justice(nas)
Est 1:14 And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king's face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;) (kjv)
 Est 1:14 and were close to him: Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media who had access to the king's presence and sat in the first place in the kingdom--(nas)
Est 1:15 What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains? (kjv)
 Est 1:15 "According to law, what is to be done with Queen Vashti, because she did not obey the command of King Ahasuerus delivered by the eunuchs?"(nas)
Est 1:16 And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus. (kjv)
 Est 1:16 In the presence of the king and the princes, Memucan said, "Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king but also all the princes and all the peoples who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.(nas)
Est 1:17 For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not. (kjv)
 Est 1:17 For the queen's conduct will become known to all the women causing them to look with contempt on their husbands by saying, 'King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in to his presence, but she did not come.'(nas)
Est 1:18 Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king's princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath. (kjv)
 Est 1:18 This day the ladies of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen's conduct will speak in the same way to all the king's princes, and there will be plenty of contempt and anger.(nas)
Est 1:19 If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she. (kjv)
 Est 1:19 If it pleases the king, let a royal edict be issued by him and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media so that it cannot be repealed, that Vashti may no longer come into the presence of King Ahasuerus, and let the king give her royal position to another who is more worthy than she.(nas)
Est 1:20 And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small. (kjv)
 Est 1:20 When the king's edict which he will make is heard throughout all his kingdom, great as it is, then all women will give honor to their husbands, great and small."(nas)
Est 1:21 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan: (kjv)
 Est 1:21 This word pleased the king and the princes, and the king did as Memucan proposed.(nas)
Est 1:22 For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.(kjv)
 Est 1:22 So he sent letters to all the king's provinces, to each province according to its script and to every people according to their language, that every man should be the master in his own house and the one who speaks in the language of his own people. (nas)
Est 2:1 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her. (kjv)
 Est 2:1 After these things when the anger of King Ahasuerus had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what had been decreed against her.(nas)
Est 2:2 Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king: (kjv)
 Est 2:2 Then the king's attendants, who served him, said, "Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king.(nas)
Est 2:3 And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them: (kjv)
 Est 2:3 Let the king appoint overseers in all the provinces of his kingdom that they may gather every beautiful young virgin to the citadel of Susa, to the harem, into the custody of Hegai, the king's eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and let their cosmetics be given them.(nas)
Est 2:4 And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so. (kjv)
 Est 2:4 Then let the young lady who pleases the king be queen in place of Vashti." And the matter pleased the king, and he did accordingly.(nas)
Est 2:5 Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite; (kjv)
 Est 2:5 Now there was at the citadel in Susa a Jew whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,(nas)
Est 2:6 Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away. (kjv)
 Est 2:6 who had been taken into exile from Jerusalem with the captives who had been exiled with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had exiled.(nas)
Est 2:7 And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter. (kjv)
 Est 2:7 He was bringing up Hadassah, that is Esther, his uncle's daughter, for she had no father or mother. Now the young lady was beautiful of form and face, and when her father and her mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter. (nas)
Est 2:8 So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women. (kjv)
 Est 2:8 So it came about when the command and decree of the king were heard and many young ladies were gathered to the citadel of Susa into the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken to the king's palace into the custody of Hegai, who was in charge of the women.(nas)
Est 2:9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women. (kjv)
 Est 2:9 Now the young lady pleased him and found favor with him. So he quickly provided her with her cosmetics and food, gave her seven choice maids from the king's palace and transferred her and her maids to the best place in the harem.(nas)
Est 2:10 Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it. (kjv)
 Est 2:10 Esther did not make known her people or her kindred, for Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make them known.(nas)
Est 2:11 And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her. (kjv)
 Est 2:11 Every day Mordecai walked back and forth in front of the court of the harem to learn how Esther was and how she fared.(nas)
Est 2:12 Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;) (kjv)
 Est 2:12 Now when the turn of each young lady came to go in to King Ahasuerus, after the end of her twelve months under the regulations for the women--for the days of their beautification were completed as follows: six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and the cosmetics for women--(nas)
Est 2:13 Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house. (kjv)
 Est 2:13 the young lady would go in to the king in this way: anything that she desired was given her to take with her from the harem to the king's palace.(nas)
Est 2:14 In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name. (kjv)
 Est 2:14 In the evening she would go in and in the morning she would return to the second harem, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the concubines. She would not again go in to the king unless the king delighted in her and she was summoned by name.(nas)
Est 2:15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her. (kjv)
 Est 2:15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai who had taken her as his daughter, came to go in to the king, she did not request anything except what Hegai, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the women, advised. And Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her.(nas)
Est 2:16 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. (kjv)
 Est 2:16 So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus to his royal palace in the tenth month which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. (nas)

 Est 2:17 The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.(nas)
Est 2:18 Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king. (kjv)
 Est 2:18 Then the king gave a great banquet, Esther's banquet, for all his princes and his servants; he also made a holiday for the provinces and gave gifts according to the king's bounty.(nas)
Est 2:19 And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king's gate. (kjv)
 Est 2:19 When the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate.(nas)
Est 2:20 Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him. (kjv)
 Est 2:20 Esther had not yet made known her kindred or her people, even as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther did what Mordecai told her as she had done when under his care. (nas)
Est 2:21 In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus. (kjv)
 Est 2:21 In those days, while Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king's officials from those who guarded the door, became angry and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.(nas)
Est 2:22 And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai's name. (kjv)
 Est 2:22 But the plot became known to Mordecai and he told Queen Esther, and Esther informed the king in Mordecai's name.(nas)
Est 2:23 And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.(kjv)
 Est 2:23 Now when the plot was investigated and found to be so, they were both hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the Book of the Chronicles in the king's presence. (nas)
Est 3:1 After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him. (kjv)
 Est 3:1 After these events King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and established his authority over all the princes who were with him.(nas)
Est 3:2 And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence. (kjv)
 Est 3:2 All the king's servants who were at the king's gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman; for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage.(nas)
Est 3:3 Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment? (kjv)
 Est 3:3 Then the king's servants who were at the king's gate said to Mordecai, "Why are you transgressing the king's command?"(nas)
Est 3:4 Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew. (kjv)
 Est 3:4 Now it was when they had spoken daily to him and he would not listen to them, that they told Haman to see whether Mordecai's reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.(nas)
Est 3:5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath. (kjv)
 Est 3:5 When Haman saw that Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage to him, Haman was filled with rage.(nas)
Est 3:6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai. (kjv)
 Est 3:6 But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were; therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus.(nas)
Est 3:7 In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar. (kjv)
 Est 3:7 In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, Pur, that is the lot, was cast before Haman from day to day and from month to month, until the twelfth month, that is the month Adar.(nas)
Est 3:8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them. (kjv)
 Est 3:8 Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of all other people and they do not observe the king's laws, so it is not in the king's interest to let them remain.(nas)
Est 3:9 If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries. (kjv)
 Est 3:9 If it is pleasing to the king, let it be decreed that they be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who carry on the king's business, to put into the king's treasuries."(nas)

Est 3:11 And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee. (kjv)
 Est 3:11 The king said to Haman, "The silver is yours, and the people also, to do with them as you please."(nas)
Est 3:12 Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.

Est 3:13 And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey. (kjv)
 Est 3:13 Letters were sent by couriers to all the king's provinces to destroy, to kill and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, women and children, in one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to seize their possessions as plunder.(nas)

Est 3:15 The posts went out, being hastened by the king's commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.(kjv)
 Est 3:15 The couriers went out impelled by the king's command while the decree was issued at the citadel in Susa; and while the king and Haman sat down to drink, the city of Susa was in confusion. (nas)
Est 4:1 When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry; (kjv)
 Est 4:1 When Mordecai learned all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city and wailed loudly and bitterly.(nas)
Est 4:2 And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth. (kjv)
 Est 4:2 He went as far as the king's gate, for no one was to enter the king's gate clothed in sackcloth.(nas)
Est 4:3 And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes. (kjv)
 Est 4:3 In each and every province where the command and decree of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing; and many lay on sackcloth and ashes.(nas)
Est 4:4 So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not. (kjv)
 Est 4:4 Then Esther's maidens and her eunuchs came and told her, and the queen writhed in great anguish. And she sent garments to clothe Mordecai that he might remove his sackcloth from him, but he did not accept them.(nas)
Est 4:5 Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was. (kjv)
 Est 4:5 Then Esther summoned Hathach from the king's eunuchs, whom the king had appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what this was and why it was.(nas)
Est 4:6 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate. (kjv)
 Est 4:6 So Hathach went out to Mordecai to the city square in front of the king's gate.(nas)
Est 4:7 And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them. (kjv)
 Est 4:7 Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and the exact amount of money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.(nas)
Est 4:8 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people. (kjv)
 Est 4:8 He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict which had been issued in Susa for their destruction, that he might show Esther and inform her, and to order her to go in to the king to implore his favor and to plead with him for her people.(nas)
Est 4:9 And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai. (kjv)
 Est 4:9 Hathach came back and related Mordecai's words to Esther.(nas)
Est 4:10 Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai; (kjv)
 Est 4:10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach and ordered him to reply to Mordecai:(nas)
Est 4:11 All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or women, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days. (kjv)
 Est 4:11 "All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that for any man or woman who comes to the king to the inner court who is not summoned, he has but one law, that he be put to death, unless the king holds out to him the golden scepter so that he may live. And I have not been summoned to come to the king for these thirty days."(nas)
Est 4:12 And they told to Mordecai Esther's words. (kjv)
 Est 4:12 They related Esther's words to Mordecai.(nas)
Est 4:13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. (kjv)
 Est 4:13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, "Do not imagine that you in the king's palace can escape any more than all the Jews.(nas)
Est 4:14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? (kjv)
 Est 4:14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?" (nas)
Est 4:15 Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer, (kjv)
 Est 4:15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai,(nas)
Est 4:16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish. (kjv)
 Est 4:16 "Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus I will go in to the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish."(nas)
Est 4:17 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.(kjv)
 Est 4:17 So Mordecai went away and did just as Esther had commanded him. (nas)
Est 5:1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house. (kjv)
 Est 5:1 Now it came about on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace in front of the king's rooms, and the king was sitting on his royal throne in the throne room, opposite the entrance to the palace.(nas)
Est 5:2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre. (kjv)
 Est 5:2 When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king extended to Esther the golden scepter which was in his hand. So Esther came near and touched the top of the scepter.(nas)
Est 5:3 Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom. (kjv)
 Est 5:3 Then the king said to her, "What is troubling you, Queen Esther? And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be given to you."(nas)
Est 5:4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him. (kjv)
 Est 5:4 Esther said, "If it pleases the king, may the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him."(nas)
Est 5:5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared. (kjv)
 Est 5:5 Then the king said, "Bring Haman quickly that we may do as Esther desires." So the king and Haman came to the banquet which Esther had prepared.(nas)
Est 5:6 And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed. (kjv)
 Est 5:6 As they drank their wine at the banquet, the king said to Esther, "What is your petition, for it shall be granted to you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be done."(nas)
Est 5:7 Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is; (kjv)
 Est 5:7 So Esther replied, "My petition and my request is:(nas)
Est 5:8 If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said. (kjv)
 Est 5:8 if I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and do what I request, may the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king says." (nas)
Est 5:9 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai. (kjv)
 Est 5:9 Then Haman went out that day glad and pleased of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate and that he did not stand up or tremble before him, Haman was filled with anger against Mordecai.(nas)
Est 5:10 Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife. (kjv)
 Est 5:10 Haman controlled himself, however, went to his house and sent for his friends and his wife Zeresh.(nas)
Est 5:11 And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king. (kjv)
 Est 5:11 Then Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, and the number of his sons, and every instance where the king had magnified him and how he had promoted him above the princes and servants of the king.(nas)
Est 5:12 Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king. (kjv)
 Est 5:12 Haman also said, "Even Esther the queen let no one but me come with the king to the banquet which she had prepared; and tomorrow also I am invited by her with the king.(nas)
Est 5:13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate. (kjv)
 Est 5:13 Yet all of this does not satisfy me every time I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate."(nas)
Est 5:14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.(kjv)
 Est 5:14 Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, "Have a gallows fifty cubits high made and in the morning ask the king to have Mordecai hanged on it; then go joyfully with the king to the banquet." And the advice pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made. (nas)
Est 6:1 On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. (kjv)
 Est 6:1 During that night the king could not sleep so he gave an order to bring the book of records, the chronicles, and they were read before the king.(nas)
Est 6:2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. (kjv)
 Est 6:2 It was found written what Mordecai had reported concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs who were doorkeepers, that they had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.(nas)
Est 6:3 And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him. (kjv)
 Est 6:3 The king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?" Then the king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."(nas)
Est 6:4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. (kjv)
 Est 6:4 So the king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace in order to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows which he had prepared for him.(nas)
Est 6:5 And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in. (kjv)
 Est 6:5 The king's servants said to him, "Behold, Haman is standing in the court." And the king said, "Let him come in."(nas)
Est 6:6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself? (kjv)
 Est 6:6 So Haman came in and the king said to him, "What is to be done for the man whom the king desires to honor?" And Haman said to himself, "Whom would the king desire to honor more than me?"(nas)
Est 6:7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour, (kjv)
 Est 6:7 Then Haman said to the king, "For the man whom the king desires to honor,(nas)
Est 6:8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head: (kjv)
 Est 6:8 let them bring a royal robe which the king has worn, and the horse on which the king has ridden, and on whose head a royal crown has been placed;(nas)
Est 6:9 And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour. (kjv)
 Est 6:9 and let the robe and the horse be handed over to one of the king's most noble princes and let them array the man whom the king desires to honor and lead him on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, 'Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor.'" (nas)
Est 6:10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken. (kjv)
 Est 6:10 Then the king said to Haman, "Take quickly the robes and the horse as you have said, and do so for Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king's gate; do not fall short in anything of all that you have said."(nas)
Est 6:11 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour. (kjv)
 Est 6:11 So Haman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, "Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor."(nas)
Est 6:12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered. (kjv)
 Est 6:12 Then Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried home, mourning, with his head covered.(nas)
Est 6:13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him. (kjv)
 Est 6:13 Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish origin, you will not overcome him, but will surely fall before him."(nas)
Est 6:14 And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.(kjv)
 Est 6:14 While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hastily brought Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared. (nas)
Est 7:1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen. (kjv)
 Est 7:1 Now the king and Haman came to drink wine with Esther the queen.(nas)
Est 7:2 And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom. (kjv)
 Est 7:2 And the king said to Esther on the second day also as they drank their wine at the banquet, "What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be done."(nas)
Est 7:3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request: (kjv)
 Est 7:3 Then Queen Esther replied, "If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me as my petition, and my people as my request;(nas)
Est 7:4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage. (kjv)
 Est 7:4 for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed and to be annihilated. Now if we had only been sold as slaves, men and women, I would have remained silent, for the trouble would not be commensurate with the annoyance to the king."(nas)
Est 7:5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so? (kjv)
 Est 7:5 Then King Ahasuerus asked Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is he, who would presume to do thus?"(nas)
Est 7:6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen. (kjv)
 Est 7:6 Esther said, "A foe and an enemy is this wicked Haman!" Then Haman became terrified before the king and queen. (nas)
Est 7:7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king. (kjv)
 Est 7:7 The king arose in his anger from drinking wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm had been determined against him by the king.(nas)
Est 7:8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of king's mouth, they covered Haman's face. (kjv)
 Est 7:8 Now when the king returned from the palace garden into the place where they were drinking wine, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, "Will he even assault the queen with me in the house?" As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.(nas)
Est 7:9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon. (kjv)
 Est 7:9 Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were before the king said, "Behold indeed, the gallows standing at Haman's house fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai who spoke good on behalf of the king!" And the king said, "Hang him on it."(nas)
Est 7:10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.(kjv)
 Est 7:10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai, and the king's anger subsided. (nas)
Est 8:1 On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her. (kjv)
 Est 8:1 On that day King Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews, to Queen Esther; and Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had disclosed what he was to her.(nas)
Est 8:2 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman. (kjv)
 Est 8:2 The king took off his signet ring which he had taken away from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.(nas)
Est 8:3 And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews. (kjv)
 Est 8:3 Then Esther spoke again to the king, fell at his feet, wept and implored him to avert the evil scheme of Haman the Agagite and his plot which he had devised against the Jews.(nas)
Est 8:4 Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king, (kjv)
 Est 8:4 The king extended the golden scepter to Esther. So Esther arose and stood before the king.(nas)
Est 8:5 And said, If it please the king, and if I have favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces: (kjv)
 Est 8:5 Then she said, "If it pleases the king and if I have found favor before him and the matter seems proper to the king and I am pleasing in his sight, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.(nas)
Est 8:6 For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred? (kjv)
 Est 8:6 For how can I endure to see the calamity which will befall my people, and how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?"(nas)
Est 8:7 Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews. (kjv)
 Est 8:7 So King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, "Behold, I have given the house of Haman to Esther, and him they have hanged on the gallows because he had stretched out his hands against the Jews. (nas)
Est 8:8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse. (kjv)
 Est 8:8 Now you write to the Jews as you see fit, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring; for a decree which is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's signet ring may not be revoked."(nas)
Est 8:9 Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language. (kjv)
 Est 8:9 So the king's scribes were called at that time in the third month (that is, the month Sivan), on the twenty-third day; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, the satraps, the governors and the princes of the provinces which extended from India to Ethiopia, 127 provinces, to every province according to its script, and to every people according to their language as well as to the Jews according to their script and their language.(nas)
Est 8:10 And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus' name, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries: (kjv)
 Est 8:10 He wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king's signet ring, and sent letters by couriers on horses, riding on steeds sired by the royal stud.(nas)
Est 8:11 Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey, (kjv)
 Est 8:11 In them the king granted the Jews who were in each and every city the right to assemble and to defend their lives, to destroy, to kill and to annihilate the entire army of any people or province which might attack them, including children and women, and to plunder their spoil,(nas)
Est 8:12 Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar. (kjv)
 Est 8:12 on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar).(nas)
Est 8:13 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies. (kjv)
 Est 8:13 A copy of the edict to be issued as law in each and every province was published to all the peoples, so that the Jews would be ready for this day to avenge themselves on their enemies.(nas)
Est 8:14 So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace. (kjv)
 Est 8:14 The couriers, hastened and impelled by the king's command, went out, riding on the royal steeds; and the decree was given out at the citadel in Susa.(nas)
Est 8:15 And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad. (kjv)
 Est 8:15 Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal robes of blue and white, with a large crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced.(nas)
Est 8:16 The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour. (kjv)
 Est 8:16 For the Jews there was light and gladness and joy and honor.(nas)
Est 8:17 And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.(kjv)
 Est 8:17 In each and every province and in each and every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree arrived, there was gladness and joy for the Jews, a feast and a holiday. And many among the peoples of the land became Jews, for the dread of the Jews had fallen on them. (nas)
Est 9:1 Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;) (kjv)
 Est 9:1 Now in the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar), on the thirteenth day when the king's command and edict were about to be executed, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, it was turned to the contrary so that the Jews themselves gained the mastery over those who hated them.(nas)
Est 9:2 The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people. (kjv)
 Est 9:2 The Jews assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm; and no one could stand before them, for the dread of them had fallen on all the peoples.(nas)
Est 9:3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them. (kjv)
 Est 9:3 Even all the princes of the provinces, the satraps, the governors and those who were doing the king's business assisted the Jews, because the dread of Mordecai had fallen on them.(nas)
Est 9:4 For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater. (kjv)
 Est 9:4 Indeed, Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai became greater and greater.(nas)
Est 9:5 Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them. (kjv)
 Est 9:5 Thus the Jews struck all their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying; and they did what they pleased to those who hated them.(nas)
Est 9:6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men. (kjv)
 Est 9:6 At the citadel in Susa the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men,(nas)
Est 9:7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha, (kjv)
 Est 9:7 and Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,(nas)
Est 9:8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, (kjv)
 Est 9:8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,(nas)
Est 9:9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha, (kjv)
 Est 9:9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai and Vaizatha,(nas)
Est 9:10 The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand. (kjv)
 Est 9:10 the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews' enemy; but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.(nas)
Est 9:11 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king. (kjv)
 Est 9:11 On that day the number of those who were killed at the citadel in Susa was reported to the king.(nas)
Est 9:12 And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.

 Ecl 2:26  For to a person who is good in His sight He has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, while to the sinner He has given the task of gathering and collecting so that he may give to one who is good in God's sight. This too is vanity and striving after wind. (nas)

Eze 41:7 And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst. (kjv)
 Eze 41:7  The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the structure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, therefore the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the second story.

 Eze 41:16  The thresholds, the latticed windows and the galleries round about their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered), (nas)
Eze 41:17 To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure. (kjv)
 Eze 41:17 over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement. (nas)

 Mar 4:4 as he was sowing, some seed fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate it up. (nas)

 Mar 4:27 and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows--how, he himself does not know. (nas)
Mar 4:28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. (kjv)
 Mar 4:28  The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head, then the mature grain in the head. (nas)
Mar 4:29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. (kjv)

Mar 4:31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: (kjv)
 Mar 4:31  It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil, (nas)
Mar 4:32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. (kjv)

Mar 4:37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. (kjv)
 Mar 4:37  And there arose a fierce gale of wind, and the waves were breaking over the boat so much that the boat was already filling up. (nas)
Mar 4:38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? (kjv)
 Mar 4:38  Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"(nas)
Mar 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. (kjv)

Mar 4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? (kjv)
 Mar 4:40  And He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?"(nas)
Mar 4:41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?(kjv)
 Mar 4:41  They became very much afraid and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?" (nas)
Mar 5:1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. (kjv)
 Mar 5:1  They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes. (nas)
Mar 5:2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, (kjv)
 Mar 5:2  When He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him, (nas)
Mar 5:3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: (kjv)
 Mar 5:3 and he had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him anymore, even with a chain; (nas)
Mar 5:4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. (kjv)
 Mar 5:4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces, and no one was strong enough to subdue him. (nas)
Mar 5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. (kjv)
 Mar 5:5  Constantly, night and day, he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and gashing himself with stones. (nas)
Mar 5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, (kjv)
 Mar 5:6  Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him; (nas)
Mar 5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. (kjv)
 Mar 5:7 and shouting with a loud voice, he said, "What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!"(nas)
Mar 5:8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. (kjv)
 Mar 5:8  For He had been saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"(nas)
Mar 5:9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. (kjv)
 Mar 5:9  And He was asking him, "What is your name?" And he said to Him, "My name is Legion; for we are many."(nas)
Mar 5:10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. (kjv)
 Mar 5:10  And he began to implore Him earnestly not to send them out of the country. (nas)
Mar 5:11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. (kjv)
 Mar 5:11  Now there was a large herd of swine feeding nearby on the mountain. (nas)
Mar 5:12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. (kjv)
 Mar 5:12  The demons implored Him, saying, "Send us into the swine so that we may enter them."(nas)
Mar 5:13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. (kjv)
 Mar 5:13  Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea. (nas)
Mar 5:14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. (kjv)
 Mar 5:14  Their herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the country. And the people came to see what it was that had happened. (nas)
Mar 5:15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. (kjv)
 Mar 5:15  They came to Jesus and observed the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had had the "legion"; and they became frightened. (nas)
Mar 5:16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. (kjv)
 Mar 5:16  Those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the demon-possessed man, and all about the swine. (nas)
Mar 5:17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. (kjv)
 Mar 5:17  And they began to implore Him to leave their region. (nas)
Mar 5:18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. (kjv)
 Mar 5:18  As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might accompany Him. (nas)
Mar 5:19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. (kjv)
 Mar 5:19  And He did not let him, but He said to him, "Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you."(nas)
Mar 5:20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel. (kjv)
 Mar 5:20  And he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed. (nas)
Mar 5:21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea. (kjv)
 Mar 5:21  When Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and so He stayed by the seashore. (nas)
Mar 5:22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, (kjv)
 Mar 5:22  One of the synagogue officials named Jairus came up, and on seeing Him, fell at His feet(nas)
Mar 5:23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. (kjv)
 Mar 5:23 and implored Him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get well and live."(nas)
Mar 5:24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. (kjv)
 Mar 5:24  And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him. (nas)
Mar 5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, (kjv)
 Mar 5:25  A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, (nas)
Mar 5:26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, (kjv)
 Mar 5:26 and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse--(nas)
Mar 5:27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. (kjv)
 Mar 5:27 after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak. (nas)
Mar 5:28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. (kjv)
 Mar 5:28  For she thought, "If I just touch His garments, I will get well."(nas)
Mar 5:29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. (kjv)
 Mar 5:29  Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. (nas)
Mar 5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? (kjv)
 Mar 5:30  Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that the power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched My garments?"(nas)
Mar 5:31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? (kjv)
 Mar 5:31  And His disciples said to Him, "You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?'"(nas)
Mar 5:32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. (kjv)
 Mar 5:32  And He looked around to see the woman who had done this. (nas)
Mar 5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. (kjv)
 Mar 5:33  But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. (nas)
Mar 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. (kjv)

Mar 5:36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. (kjv)
 Mar 5:36  But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, said to the synagogue official, "Do not be afraid any longer, only believe."(nas)
Mar 5:37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. (kjv)
 Mar 5:37  And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except Peter and James and John the brother of James. (nas)
Mar 5:38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. (kjv)

Mar 5:40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. (kjv)
 Mar 5:40  They began laughing at Him. But putting them all out, He took along the child's father and mother and His own companions, and entered the room where the child was. (nas)
Mar 5:41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. (kjv)
 Mar 5:41  Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, "Talitha kum!" (which translated means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!"). (nas)
Mar 5:42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. (kjv)

Mar 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. (kjv)
 Mar 6:11  Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them."(nas)

 Mar 6:16  But when Herod heard of it, he kept saying, "John, whom I beheaded, has risen!"(nas)

 Mar 6:19  Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death and could not do so; (nas)

 Mar 6:25  Immediately she came in a hurry to the king and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."(nas)
Mar 6:26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. (kjv)
 Mar 6:26  And although the king was very sorry, yet because of his oaths and because of his dinner guests, he was unwilling to refuse her. (nas)

 Mar 7:2 and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed. (nas)
Mar 7:3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. (kjv)
 Mar 7:3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully wash their hands, thus observing the traditions of the elders; (nas)

 Mar 7:6  And He said to them, "Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: 'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. (nas)
Mar 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (kjv)
 Mar 7:7 'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'(nas)
Mar 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. (kjv)
 Mar 7:8  Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men."(nas)
Mar 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. (kjv)
 Mar 7:9  He was also saying to them, "You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition. (nas)
Mar 7:10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: (kjv)
 Mar 7:10  For Moses said, 'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER'; and, 'HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH'; (nas)
Mar 7:11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. (kjv)
 Mar 7:11 but you say, 'If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given to God), '(nas)
Mar 7:12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; (kjv)
 Mar 7:12 you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother; (nas)
Mar 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. (kjv)
 Mar 7:13 thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that." (nas)
Mar 7:14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: (kjv)
 Mar 7:14  After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand: (nas)
Mar 7:15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. (kjv)
 Mar 7:15 there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man. (nas)
Mar 7:16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. (kjv)
 Mar 7:16 ["If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."](nas)
Mar 7:17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. (kjv)
 Mar 7:17  When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable. (nas)
Mar 7:18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; (kjv)
 Mar 7:18  And He said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, (nas)
Mar 7:19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? (kjv)
 Mar 7:19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean. )(nas)
Mar 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. (kjv)
 Mar 7:20  And He was saying, "That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. (nas)
Mar 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, (kjv)
 Mar 7:21  For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, (nas)
Mar 7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: (kjv)
 Mar 7:22 deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. (nas)
Mar 7:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. (kjv)
 Mar 7:23  All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man." (nas)
Mar 7:24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid. (kjv)
 Mar 7:24  Jesus got up and went away from there to the region of Tyre. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know of it; yet He could not escape notice. (nas)
Mar 7:25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: (kjv)
 Mar 7:25  But after hearing of Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet. (nas)
Mar 7:26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. (kjv)
 Mar 7:26  Now the woman was a Gentile, of the Syrophoenician race. And she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. (nas)
Mar 7:27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. (kjv)
 Mar 7:27  And He was saying to her, "Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."(nas)
Mar 7:28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. (kjv)
 Mar 7:28  But she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children's crumbs."(nas)
Mar 7:29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. (kjv)
 Mar 7:29  And He said to her, "Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter."(nas)
Mar 7:30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. (kjv)
 Mar 7:30  And going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left. (nas)
Mar 7:31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. (kjv)
 Mar 7:31  Again He went out from the region of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of Decapolis. (nas)
Mar 7:32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. (kjv)
 Mar 7:32  They brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they implored Him to lay His hand on him. (nas)
Mar 7:33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; (kjv)
 Mar 7:33  Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers into his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva; (nas)
Mar 7:34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. (kjv)
 Mar 7:34 and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!"(nas)
Mar 7:35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. (kjv)
 Mar 7:35  And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking plainly. (nas)
Mar 7:36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it; (kjv)
 Mar 7:36  And He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they continued to proclaim it. (nas)
Mar 7:37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.(kjv)
 Mar 7:37  They were utterly astonished, saying, "He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak." (nas)
Mar 8:1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, (kjv)
 Mar 8:1  In those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples and said to them, (nas)
Mar 8:2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: (kjv)
 Mar 8:2 "I feel compassion for the people because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat. (nas)
Mar 8:3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far. (kjv)
 Mar 8:3  If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance."(nas)
Mar 8:4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? (kjv)
 Mar 8:4  And His disciples answered Him, "Where will anyone be able to find enough bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?"(nas)
Mar 8:5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. (kjv)
 Mar 8:5  And He was asking them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven."(nas)

 Mar 8:6  And He directed the people to sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them, and started giving them to His disciples to serve to them, and they served them to the people. (nas)
Mar 8:7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. (kjv)
 Mar 8:7  They also had a few small fish; and after He had blessed them, He ordered these to be served as well. (nas)
Mar 8:8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. (kjv)
 Mar 8:8  And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces. (nas)
Mar 8:9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away. (kjv)
 Mar 8:9  About four thousand were there; and He sent them away. (nas)
Mar 8:10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. (kjv)
 Mar 8:10  And immediately He entered the boat with His disciples and came to the district of Dalmanutha. (nas)
Mar 8:11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. (kjv)
 Mar 8:11  The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, to test Him. (nas)
Mar 8:12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation. (kjv)
 Mar 8:12  Sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, "Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation."(nas)
Mar 8:13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side. (kjv)
 Mar 8:13  Leaving them, He again embarked and went away to the other side. (nas)
Mar 8:14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf. (kjv)
 Mar 8:14  And they had forgotten to take bread, and did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them. (nas)
Mar 8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. (kjv)
 Mar 8:15  And He was giving orders to them, saying, "Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."(nas)
Mar 8:16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread. (kjv)
 Mar 8:16  They began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread. (nas)
Mar 8:17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened? (kjv)
 Mar 8:17  And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a hardened heart? (nas)
Mar 8:18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? (kjv)

 Luk 14:8 "When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for someone more distinguished than you may have been invited by him, (nas)
Luk 14:9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. (kjv)

 Luk 14:10  But when you are invited, go and recline at the last place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, move up higher'; then you will have honor in the sight of all who are at the table with you. (nas)

Luk 14:13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: (kjv)
 Luk 14:13  But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, (nas)
Luk 14:14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. (kjv)
 Luk 14:14 and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."(nas)
Luk 14:15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. (kjv)

Luk 14:16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: (kjv)
 Luk 14:16  But He said to him, "A man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many; (nas)
Luk 14:17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. (kjv)

 Luk 14:20  Another one said, 'I have married a wife, and for that reason I cannot come.'(nas)
Luk 14:21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. (kjv)
 Luk 14:21  And the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the head of the household became angry and said to his slave, 'Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.'(nas)
Luk 14:22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. (kjv)
 Luk 14:22  And the slave said, 'Master, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.'(nas)
Luk 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. (kjv)
 Luk 14:23  And the master said to the slave, 'Go out into the highways and along the hedges, and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled. (nas)

 Luk 14:29  Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, (nas)
Luk 14:30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. (kjv)
 Luk 14:30 saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'(nas)

 Luk 14:32  Or else, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. (nas)
Luk 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. (kjv)
 Luk 14:33  So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions. (nas)
Luk 14:34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? (kjv)

Jn 8:21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. (kjv)
 Jn 8:21  Then He said again to them, "I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come."(nas)
Jn 8:22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. (kjv)
 Jn 8:22  So the Jews were saying, "Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come'?"(nas)
Jn 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. (kjv)
 Jn 8:23  And He was saying to them, "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. (nas)
Jn 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. (kjv)
 Jn 8:24  Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."(nas)
Jn 8:25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. (kjv)
 Jn 8:25  So they were saying to Him, "Who are You?" Jesus said to them, "What have I been saying to you from the beginning? (nas)
Jn 8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. (kjv)
 Jn 8:26  I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world."(nas)
Jn 8:27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. (kjv)
 Jn 8:27  They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father. (nas)
Jn 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. (kjv)
 Jn 8:28  So Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me. (nas)
Jn 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. (kjv)
 Jn 8:29  And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him."(nas)
Jn 8:30 As he spake these words, many believed on him. (kjv)
 Jn 8:30  As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him. (nas)
Jn 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; (kjv)
 Jn 8:31  So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; (nas)
Jn 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (kjv)
 Jn 8:32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."(nas)
Jn 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? (kjv)
 Jn 8:33  They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You will become free'?"(nas)
Jn 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. (kjv)
 Jn 8:34  Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. (nas)
Jn 8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. (kjv)
 Jn 8:35  The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. (nas)
Jn 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. (kjv)
 Jn 8:36  So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. (nas)
Jn 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. (kjv)
 Jn 8:37  I know that you are Abraham's descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. (nas)
Jn 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. (kjv)
 Jn 8:38  I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father."(nas)
Jn 8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. (kjv)
 Jn 8:39  They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham. (nas)
Jn 8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. (kjv)
 Jn 8:40  But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. (nas)
Jn 8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. (kjv)
 Jn 8:41  You are doing the deeds of your father." They said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father: God."(nas)
Jn 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. (kjv)
 Jn 8:42  Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me. (nas)
Jn 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. (kjv)
 Jn 8:43  Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. (nas)
Jn 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (kjv)
 Jn 8:44  You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (nas)
Jn 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. (kjv)
 Jn 8:45  But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me. (nas)
Jn 8:46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? (kjv)
 Jn 8:46  Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? (nas)
Jn 8:47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. (kjv)
 Jn 8:47  He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God."(nas)
Jn 8:48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? (kjv)
 Jn 8:48  The Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"(nas)
Jn 8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. (kjv)
 Jn 8:49  Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. (nas)
Jn 8:50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. (kjv)
 Jn 8:50  But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges. (nas)
Jn 8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. (kjv)
 Jn 8:51  Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death."(nas)
Jn 8:52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. (kjv)
 Jn 8:52  The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death.'(nas)
Jn 8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? (kjv)
 Jn 8:53  Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?"(nas)
Jn 8:54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: (kjv)
 Jn 8:54  Jesus answered, "If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, 'He is our God'; (nas)
Jn 8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. (kjv)
 Jn 8:55 and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word. (nas)
Jn 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. (kjv)
 Jn 8:56  Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."(nas)
Jn 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? (kjv)
 Jn 8:57  So the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"(nas)
Jn 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. (kjv)
 Jn 8:58  Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am."(nas)
Jn 8:59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.(kjv)
 Jn 8:59  Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple. (nas)
Jn 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. (kjv)
 Jn 9:1  As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth. (nas)
Jn 9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? (kjv)
 Jn 9:2  And His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?"(nas)
Jn 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. (kjv)
 Jn 9:3  Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him. (nas)
Jn 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. (kjv)
 Jn 9:4  We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work. (nas)
Jn 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. (kjv)
 Jn 9:5  While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world."(nas)
Jn 9:6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, (kjv)
 Jn 9:6  When He had said this, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes, (nas)
Jn 9:7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. (kjv)
 Jn 9:7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing. (nas)
Jn 9:8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? (kjv)
 Jn 9:8  Therefore the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, "Is not this the one who used to sit and beg?"(nas)
Jn 9:9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. (kjv)
 Jn 9:9  Others were saying, "This is he," still others were saying, "No, but he is like him." He kept saying, "I am the one."(nas)
Jn 9:10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? (kjv)
 Jn 9:10  So they were saying to him, "How then were your eyes opened?"(nas)
Jn 9:11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. (kjv)
 Jn 9:11  He answered, "The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash'; so I went away and washed, and I received sight."(nas)
Jn 9:12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not. (kjv)
 Jn 9:12  They said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know." (nas)
Jn 9:13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. (kjv)
 Jn 9:13  They brought to the Pharisees the man who was formerly blind. (nas)
Jn 9:14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. (kjv)
 Jn 9:14  Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. (nas)
Jn 9:15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. (kjv)
 Jn 9:15  Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, "He applied clay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see."(nas)
Jn 9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. (kjv)
 Jn 9:16  Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?" And there was a division among them. (nas)
Jn 9:17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet. (kjv)
 Jn 9:17  So they said to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?" And he said, "He is a prophet."(nas)
Jn 9:18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. (kjv)
 Jn 9:18  The Jews then did not believe it of him, that he had been blind and had received sight, until they called the parents of the very one who had received his sight, (nas)
Jn 9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? (kjv)
 Jn 9:19 and questioned them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?"(nas)
Jn 9:20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: (kjv)
 Jn 9:20  His parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; (nas)
Jn 9:21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. (kjv)
 Jn 9:21 but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself."(nas)
Jn 9:22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. (kjv)
 Jn 9:22  His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue. (nas)
Jn 9:23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. (kjv)
 Jn 9:23  For this reason his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."(nas)
Jn 9:24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. (kjv)
 Jn 9:24  So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner."(nas)
Jn 9:25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. (kjv)
 Jn 9:25  He then answered, "Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see."(nas)
Jn 9:26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? (kjv)
 Jn 9:26  So they said to him, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?"(nas)
Jn 9:27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? (kjv)
 Jn 9:27  He answered them, "I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?"(nas)
Jn 9:28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. (kjv)
 Jn 9:28  They reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. (nas)
Jn 9:29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. (kjv)
 Jn 9:29  We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from."(nas)
Jn 9:30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. (kjv)
 Jn 9:30  The man answered and said to them, "Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes. (nas)
Jn 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. (kjv)
 Jn 9:31  We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him. (nas)
Jn 9:32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. (kjv)
 Jn 9:32  Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. (nas)
Jn 9:33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. (kjv)
 Jn 9:33  If this man were not from God, He could do nothing."(nas)
Jn 9:34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. (kjv)
 Jn 9:34  They answered him, "You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?" So they put him out. (nas)
Jn 9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? (kjv)
 Jn 9:35  Jesus heard that they had put him out, and finding him, He said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"(nas)
Jn 9:36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? (kjv)
 Jn 9:36  He answered, "Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?"(nas)
Jn 9:37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. (kjv)
 Jn 9:37  Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you."(nas)

Jn 9:40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? (kjv)
 Jn 9:40  Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, "We are not blind too, are we?"(nas)
Jn 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.(kjv)
 Jn 9:41  Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see, 'your sin remains. (nas)
Jn 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. (kjv)
 Jn 10:1 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber. (nas)

Jn 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. (kjv)
 Jn 10:5  A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers."(nas)
Jn 10:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. (kjv)
 Jn 10:6  This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them. (nas)
Jn 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. (kjv)
 Jn 10:7  So Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. (nas)

 Jn 10:12  He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. (nas)

 Jn 10:15 even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. (nas)
Jn 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. (kjv)
 Jn 10:16  I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd. (nas)

 Jn 10:20  Many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?"(nas)

 Act 25:3 requesting a concession against Paul, that he might have him brought to Jerusalem (at the same time, setting an ambush to kill him on the way). (nas)

 Act 25:4  Festus then answered that Paul was being kept in custody at Caesarea and that he himself was about to leave shortly. (nas)
Act 25:5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him. (kjv)

 Act 25:7  After Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious charges against him which they could not prove, (nas)
Act 25:8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all. (kjv)
 Act 25:8 while Paul said in his own defense, "I have committed no offense either against the Law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar."(nas)
Act 25:9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me? (kjv)
 Act 25:9  But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me on these charges?"(nas)
Act 25:10 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest. (kjv)
 Act 25:10  But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also very well know. (nas)
Act 25:11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar. (kjv)
 Act 25:11  "If, then, I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true of which these men accuse me, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar."(nas)

Act 25:15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him. (kjv)
 Act 25:15 and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him. (nas)
Act 25:16 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him. (kjv)
 Act 25:16  "I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand over any man before the accused meets his accusers face to face and has an opportunity to make his defense against the charges. (nas)
Act 25:17 Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth. (kjv)
 Act 25:17  "So after they had assembled here, I did not delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought before me. (nas)
Act 25:18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed: (kjv)
 Act 25:18  "When the accusers stood up, they began bringing charges against him not of such crimes as I was expecting, (nas)
Act 25:19 But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. (kjv)
 Act 25:19 but they simply had some points of disagreement with him about their own religion and about a dead man, Jesus, whom Paul asserted to be alive. (nas)
Act 25:20 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters. (kjv)
 Act 25:20  "Being at a loss how to investigate such matters, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there stand trial on these matters. (nas)

 Act 25:21  "But when Paul appealed to be held in custody for the Emperor's decision, I ordered him to be kept in custody until I send him to Caesar."(nas)
Act 25:22 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him. (kjv)
 Act 25:22  Then Agrippa said to "Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said,"you shall hear him." (nas)

 Act 25:23  So, on the next day when Agrippa came together with Bernice amid great pomp, and entered the auditorium accompanied by the commanders and the prominent men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in. (nas)
Act 25:24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer. (kjv)
 Act 25:24  Festus said, "King Agrippa, and all you gentlemen here present with us, you see this man about whom all the people of the Jews appealed to me, both at Jerusalem and here, loudly declaring that he ought not to live any longer. (nas)
Act 25:25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him. (kjv)
 Act 25:25  "But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death; and since he himself appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him. (nas)

 Act 25:26  "Yet I have nothing definite about him to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him before you all and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the investigation has taken place, I may have something to write. (nas)
Act 25:27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.(kjv)
 Act 25:27  "For it seems absurd to me in sending a prisoner, not to indicate also the charges against him." (nas)
Act 26:1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself: (kjv)
 Act 26:1  Agrippa said to Paul, "You are permitted to speak for yourself." Then Paul stretched out his hand and proceeded to make his defense: (nas)
Act 26:2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews: (kjv)
 Act 26:2 "In regard to all the things of which I am accused by the Jews, I consider myself fortunate, King Agrippa, that I am about to make my defense before you today; (nas)

 Rom 3:4  May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, "THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED."(nas)
Rom 3:5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) (kjv)

Rom 3:8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. (kjv)
 Rom 3:8  And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), "Let us do evil that good may come"? Their condemnation is just. (nas)
Rom 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; (kjv)
 Rom 3:9  What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; (nas)
Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: (kjv)

Rom 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known: (kjv)
 Rom 3:17  AND THE PATH OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN."(nas)
Rom 3:18 THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES. (kjv)
 Rom 3:18 "THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES."(nas)

 Rom 3:19  Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; (nas)
Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. (kjv)
 Rom 3:20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. (nas)
Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; (kjv)
 Rom 3:21  But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, (nas)

 Rom 3:25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; (nas)
Rom 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. (kjv)
 Rom 3:26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. (nas)

Rom 3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: (kjv)
 Rom 3:29  Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, (nas)
Rom 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. (kjv)
 Rom 3:30 since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one. (nas)
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.(kjv)
 Rom 3:31  Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law. (nas)
Rom 4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? (kjv)
 Rom 4:1  What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? (nas)

Rom 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. (kjv)
 Rom 4:3  For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."(nas)
Rom 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. (kjv)
 Rom 4:4  Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. (nas)

 Rom 4:5  But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, (nas)
Rom 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, (kjv)
 Rom 4:6 just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: (nas)
Rom 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. (kjv)
 Rom 4:7 "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED. (nas)
Rom 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. (kjv)
 Rom 4:8 "BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT."(nas)
Rom 4:9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. (kjv)
 Rom 4:9  Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, "FAITH WAS CREDITED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."(nas)
Rom 4:10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. (kjv)
 Rom 4:10  How then was it credited? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised; (nas)

Rom 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. (kjv)
 Rom 4:13  For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. (nas)
Rom 4:14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: (kjv)
 Rom 4:14  For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified; (nas)
Rom 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. (kjv)
 Rom 4:15 for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no violation. (nas)
Rom 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, (kjv)
 Rom 4:16  For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, (nas)
Rom 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. (kjv)

Rom 4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. (kjv)

Rom 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; (kjv)
 Rom 4:20 yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, (nas)
Rom 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. (kjv)
 Rom 4:21 and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. (nas)
Rom 4:22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. (kjv)
 Rom 4:22  Therefore IT WAS ALSO CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. (nas)
Rom 4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; (kjv)
 Rom 4:23  Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him, (nas)
Rom 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; (kjv)
 Rom 4:24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, (nas)
Rom 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.(kjv)

 Rom 5:3  And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; (nas)
Rom 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: (kjv)
 Rom 5:4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; (nas)
Rom 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (kjv)
 Rom 5:5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (nas)
Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. (kjv)
 Rom 5:6  For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. (nas)
Rom 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. (kjv)
 Rom 5:7  For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. (nas)
Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (kjv)
 Rom 5:8  But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (nas)
Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. (kjv)
 Rom 5:9  Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. (nas)
Rom 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. (kjv)

 Rom 5:11  And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. (nas)
Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (kjv)
 Rom 5:12  Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned--(nas)
Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. (kjv)
 Rom 5:13 for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. (nas)
Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. (kjv)
 Rom 5:14  Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. (nas)
Rom 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. (kjv)
 Rom 5:15  But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. (nas)
Rom 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. (kjv)
 Rom 5:16  The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. (nas)
Rom 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) (kjv)
 Rom 5:17  For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. (nas)
Rom 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. (kjv)
 Rom 5:18  So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. (nas)
Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. (kjv)
 Rom 5:19  For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. (nas)
Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: (kjv)
 Rom 5:20  The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, (nas)
Rom 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.(kjv)
 Rom 5:21 so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (nas)
Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? (kjv)
 Rom 6:1  What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? (nas)
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? (kjv)
 Rom 6:2  May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? (nas)
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? (kjv)
 Rom 6:3  Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? (nas)
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (kjv)
 Rom 6:4  Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. (nas)
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: (kjv)
 Rom 6:5  For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, (nas)
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. (kjv)
 Rom 6:6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; (nas)
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. (kjv)
 Rom 6:7 for he who has died is freed from sin. (nas)
Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: (kjv)
 Rom 6:8  Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, (nas)
Rom 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. (kjv)
 Rom 6:9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. (nas)
Rom 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. (kjv)
 Rom 6:10  For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. (nas)
Rom 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (kjv)
 Rom 6:11  Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. (nas)

Rom 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. (kjv)
 Rom 6:13 and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. (nas)
Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. (kjv)
 Rom 6:14  For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. (nas)
Rom 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. (kjv)
 Rom 6:15  What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! (nas)
Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (kjv)
 Rom 6:16  Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? (nas)
Rom 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. (kjv)
 Rom 6:17  But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, (nas)

 Rom 6:18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. (nas)
Rom 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. (kjv)
 Rom 6:19  I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification. (nas)
Rom 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. (kjv)
 Rom 6:20  For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. (nas)
Rom 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. (kjv)
 Rom 6:21  Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. (nas)
Rom 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. (kjv)
 Rom 6:22  But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. (nas)
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.(kjv)

 Rom 7:1  Or do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives? (nas)
Rom 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. (kjv)
 Rom 7:2  For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband. (nas)
Rom 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. (kjv)
 Rom 7:3  So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man. (nas)

Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. (kjv)
 Rom 7:7  What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET."(nas)
Rom 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. (kjv)

Rom 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. (kjv)
 Rom 7:9  I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died; (nas)
Rom 7:10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. (kjv)
 Rom 7:10 and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me; (nas)
Rom 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. (kjv)
 Rom 7:11 for sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. (nas)
Rom 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. (kjv)
 Rom 7:12  So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. (nas)
Rom 7:13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. (kjv)
 Rom 7:13  Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? May it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful. (nas)
Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. (kjv)
 Rom 7:14  For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin. (nas)
Rom 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. (kjv)
 Rom 7:15  For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. (nas)
Rom 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. (kjv)
 Rom 7:16  But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. (nas)
Rom 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. (kjv)
 Rom 7:17  So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. (nas)
Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. (kjv)
 Rom 7:18  For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. (nas)
Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. (kjv)
 Rom 7:19  For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. (nas)
Rom 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. (kjv)
 Rom 7:20  But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. (nas)
Rom 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. (kjv)
 Rom 7:21  I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. (nas)
Rom 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: (kjv)
 Rom 7:22  For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, (nas)
Rom 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. (kjv)
 Rom 7:23 but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. (nas)
Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? (kjv)
 Rom 7:24  Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? (nas)
Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.(kjv)
 Rom 7:25  Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin. (nas)
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (kjv)
 Rom 8:1  Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (nas)
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. (kjv)
 Rom 8:2  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. (nas)
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: (kjv)
 Rom 8:3  For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, (nas)
Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (kjv)
 Rom 8:4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. (nas)
Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. (kjv)
 Rom 8:5  For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. (nas)
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (kjv)
 Rom 8:6  For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, (nas)
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (kjv)
 Rom 8:7 because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, (nas)
Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (kjv)
 Rom 8:8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. (nas)
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (kjv)
 Rom 8:9  However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. (nas)
Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. (kjv)
 Rom 8:10  If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. (nas)
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. (kjv)
 Rom 8:11  But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. (nas)
Rom 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. (kjv)
 Rom 8:12  So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh--(nas)
Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (kjv)
 Rom 8:13 for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. (nas)
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (kjv)
 Rom 8:14  For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. (nas)
Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (kjv)
 Rom 8:15  For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"(nas)
Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: (kjv)
 Rom 8:16  The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, (nas)
Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. (kjv)
 Rom 8:17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. (nas)
Rom 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (kjv)
 Rom 8:18  For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. (nas)
Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (kjv)
 Rom 8:19  For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. (nas)
Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, (kjv)
 Rom 8:20  For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope(nas)
Rom 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. (kjv)
 Rom 8:21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. (nas)
Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. (kjv)
 Rom 8:22  For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. (nas)
Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. (kjv)
 Rom 8:23  And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. (nas)
Rom 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? (kjv)
 Rom 8:24  For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? (nas)
Rom 8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. (kjv)
 Rom 8:25  But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. (nas)
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (kjv)
 Rom 8:26  In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; (nas)
Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. (kjv)
 Rom 8:27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. (nas)
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (kjv)
 Rom 8:28  And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (nas)
Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (kjv)
 Rom 8:29  For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; (nas)
Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. (kjv)
 Rom 8:30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. (nas)
Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (kjv)
 Rom 8:31  What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? (nas)
Rom 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (kjv)
 Rom 8:32  He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? (nas)
Rom 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. (kjv)
 Rom 8:33  Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies; (nas)
Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. (kjv)
 Rom 8:34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. (nas)
Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (kjv)
 Rom 8:35  Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (nas)
Rom 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. (kjv)
 Rom 8:36  Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED."(nas)
Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. (kjv)
 Rom 8:37  But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. (nas)
Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, (kjv)
 Rom 8:38  For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, (nas)

 Rom 9:1  I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit, (nas)
Rom 9:2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. (kjv)
 Rom 9:2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart. (nas)
Rom 9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: (kjv)
 Rom 9:3  For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh, (nas)
Rom 9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; (kjv)
 Rom 9:4 who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises, (nas)
Rom 9:5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (kjv)
 Rom 9:5 whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen. (nas)
Rom 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: (kjv)
 Rom 9:6  But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; (nas)
Rom 9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. (kjv)
 Rom 9:7 nor are they all children because they are Abraham's descendants, but: "THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL BE NAMED."(nas)
Rom 9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. (kjv)
 Rom 9:8  That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants. (nas)
Rom 9:9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. (kjv)
 Rom 9:9  For this is the word of promise: "AT THIS TIME I WILL COME, AND SARAH SHALL HAVE A SON."(nas)
Rom 9:10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (kjv)
 Rom 9:10  And not only this, but there was Rebekah also, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac; (nas)
Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) (kjv)
 Rom 9:11 for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls, (nas)
Rom 9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. (kjv)

 Rom 9:16  So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. (nas)
Rom 9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. (kjv)
 Rom 9:17  For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH."(nas)
Rom 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. (kjv)
 Rom 9:18  So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. (nas)
Rom 9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? (kjv)
 Rom 9:19  You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?"(nas)
Rom 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? (kjv)

Rom 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? (kjv)
 Rom 9:21  Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? (nas)
Rom 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: (kjv)
 Rom 9:22  What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? (nas)
Rom 9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, (kjv)
 Rom 9:23  And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, (nas)
Rom 9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? (kjv)
 Rom 9:24 even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles. (nas)
Rom 9:25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. (kjv)
 Rom 9:25  As He says also in Hosea, "I WILL CALL THOSE WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE, 'MY PEOPLE,' AND HER WHO WAS NOT BELOVED, 'BELOVED.'"(nas)
Rom 9:26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. (kjv)
 Rom 9:26 "AND IT SHALL BE THAT IN THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID TO THEM, 'YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE,' THERE THEY SHALL BE CALLED THE SONS OF THE LIVING GOD."(nas)
Rom 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: (kjv)
 Rom 9:27  Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, "THOUGH THE NUMBER OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL BE LIKE THE SAND OF THE SEA, IT IS THE REMNANT THAT WILL BE SAVED; (nas)
Rom 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. (kjv)
 Rom 9:28 FOR THE LORD WILL EXECUTE HIS WORD ON THE EARTH, THOROUGHLY AND QUICKLY."(nas)
Rom 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. (kjv)
 Rom 9:29  And just as Isaiah foretold, "UNLESS THE LORD OF SABAOTH HAD LEFT TO US A POSTERITY, WE WOULD HAVE BECOME LIKE SODOM, AND WOULD HAVE RESEMBLED GOMORRAH."(nas)
Rom 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. (kjv)
 Rom 9:30  What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith; (nas)
Rom 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. (kjv)
 Rom 9:31 but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law. (nas)
Rom 9:32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; (kjv)
 Rom 9:32  Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone, (nas)
Rom 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.(kjv)
 Rom 9:33 just as it is written, "BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." (nas)

 Rom 10:2  For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. (nas)
Rom 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. (kjv)
 Rom 10:3  For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. (nas)
Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. (kjv)
 Rom 10:4  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. (nas)
Rom 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. (kjv)
 Rom 10:5  For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness. (nas)
Rom 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) (kjv)
 Rom 10:6  But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows. "DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, 'WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN?'  (that is, to bring Christ down), (nas)
Rom 10:7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) (kjv)
 Rom 10:7 or 'WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS?'  (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)."(nas)
Rom 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; (kjv)
 Rom 10:8  But what does it say. "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, (nas)
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (kjv)
 Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; (nas)
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (kjv)
 Rom 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. (nas)
Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. (kjv)
 Rom 10:11  For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."(nas)
Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. (kjv)

 Rom 10:13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."(nas)

 Rom 10:14  How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? (nas)
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! (kjv)
 Rom 10:15  How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!"(nas)
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? (kjv)
 Rom 10:16  However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?"(nas)
Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (kjv)

 1Co 3:3 for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? (nas)
1Co 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? (kjv)
 1Co 3:4  For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men? (nas)
1Co 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? (kjv)
 1Co 3:5  What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. (nas)
1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. (kjv)
 1Co 3:6  I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. (nas)
1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. (kjv)
 1Co 3:7  So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. (nas)
1Co 3:8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. (kjv)
 1Co 3:8  Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. (nas)
1Co 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. (kjv)
 1Co 3:9  For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building. (nas)
1Co 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. (kjv)
 1Co 3:10  According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. (nas)
1Co 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. (kjv)
 1Co 3:11  For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. (nas)
1Co 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; (kjv)
 1Co 3:12  Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, (nas)
1Co 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. (kjv)
 1Co 3:13 each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. (nas)
1Co 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. (kjv)
 1Co 3:14  If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. (nas)
1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. (kjv)
 1Co 3:15  If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. (nas)
1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (kjv)
 1Co 3:16  Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? (nas)
1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. (kjv)
 1Co 3:17  If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. (nas)
1Co 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (kjv)
 1Co 3:18  Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. (nas)
1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. (kjv)
 1Co 3:19  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS"; (nas)
1Co 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. (kjv)
 1Co 3:20 and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS."(nas)
1Co 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's; (kjv)
 1Co 3:21  So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you, (nas)
1Co 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's; (kjv)
 1Co 3:22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, (nas)
1Co 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.(kjv)
 1Co 3:23 and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God. (nas)
1Co 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. (kjv)
 1Co 4:1  Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. (nas)
1Co 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. (kjv)
 1Co 4:2  In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy. (nas)
1Co 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. (kjv)
 1Co 4:3  But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself. (nas)
1Co 4:4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. (kjv)
 1Co 4:4  For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord. (nas)
1Co 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. (kjv)
 1Co 4:5  Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God. (nas)
1Co 4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. (kjv)
 1Co 4:6  Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other. (nas)
1Co 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? (kjv)
 1Co 4:7  For who regards you as superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it? (nas)
1Co 4:8 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. (kjv)
 1Co 4:8  You are already filled, you have already become rich, you have become kings without us; and indeed, I wish that you had become kings so that we also might reign with you. (nas)
1Co 4:9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. (kjv)
 1Co 4:9  For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. (nas)
1Co 4:10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. (kjv)
 1Co 4:10  We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are prudent in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor. (nas)
1Co 4:11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; (kjv)
 1Co 4:11  To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless; (nas)
1Co 4:12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: (kjv)
 1Co 4:12 and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure; (nas)
1Co 4:13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. (kjv)
 1Co 4:13 when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now. (nas)
1Co 4:14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. (kjv)
 1Co 4:14  I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children. (nas)
1Co 4:15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. (kjv)
 1Co 4:15  For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. (nas)
1Co 4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. (kjv)
 1Co 4:16  Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me. (nas)
1Co 4:17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church. (kjv)
 1Co 4:17  For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church. (nas)
1Co 4:18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. (kjv)
 1Co 4:18  Now some have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you. (nas)
1Co 4:19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. (kjv)
 1Co 4:19  But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those who are arrogant but their power. (nas)
1Co 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. (kjv)
 1Co 4:20  For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power. (nas)
1Co 4:21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?(kjv)
 1Co 4:21  What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness? (nas)
1Co 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. (kjv)
 1Co 5:1  It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife. (nas)
1Co 5:2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. (kjv)
 1Co 5:2  You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst. (nas)
1Co 5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, (kjv)
 1Co 5:3  For I, on my part, though absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present. (nas)
1Co 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, (kjv)
 1Co 5:4  In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, (nas)
1Co 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. (kjv)
 1Co 5:5  I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. (nas)
1Co 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? (kjv)
 1Co 5:6  Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? (nas)
1Co 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: (kjv)
 1Co 5:7  Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. (nas)
1Co 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (kjv)
 1Co 5:8  Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (nas)
1Co 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: (kjv)
 1Co 5:9  I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; (nas)
1Co 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. (kjv)
 1Co 5:10  I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. (nas)
1Co 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. (kjv)
 1Co 5:11  But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one. (nas)
1Co 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? (kjv)
 1Co 5:12  For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? (nas)
1Co 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.(kjv)
 1Co 5:13  But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES. (nas)
1Co 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? (kjv)
 1Co 6:1  Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before the saints? (nas)
1Co 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? (kjv)
 1Co 6:2  Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? (nas)
1Co 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? (kjv)
 1Co 6:3  Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life? (nas)
1Co 6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. (kjv)
 1Co 6:4  So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? (nas)
1Co 6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? (kjv)
 1Co 6:5  I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren, (nas)
1Co 6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. (kjv)
 1Co 6:6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers? (nas)
1Co 6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? (kjv)
 1Co 6:7  Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? (nas)
1Co 6:8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. (kjv)
 1Co 6:8  On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your brethren. (nas)
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (kjv)
 1Co 6:9  Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, (nas)
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (kjv)
 1Co 6:10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. (nas)
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. (kjv)
 1Co 6:11  Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. (nas)
1Co 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. (kjv)
 1Co 6:12  All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. (nas)
1Co 6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. (kjv)
 1Co 6:13  Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. (nas)
1Co 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. (kjv)
 1Co 6:14  Now God has not only raised the Lord, but will also raise us up through His power. (nas)
1Co 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. (kjv)
 1Co 6:15  Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be! (nas)
1Co 6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. (kjv)
 1Co 6:16  Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, "THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH."(nas)
1Co 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (kjv)
 1Co 6:17  But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him. (nas)
1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. (kjv)
 1Co 6:18  Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. (nas)
1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (kjv)
 1Co 6:19  Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? (nas)
1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.(kjv)
 1Co 6:20  For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. (nas)
1Co 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. (kjv)
 1Co 7:1  Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman. (nas)
1Co 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. (kjv)
 1Co 7:2  But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband. (nas)
1Co 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. (kjv)
 1Co 7:3  The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. (nas)
1Co 7:4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. (kjv)
 1Co 7:4  The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. (nas)
1Co 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. (kjv)
 1Co 7:5  Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. (nas)
1Co 7:6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. (kjv)
 1Co 7:6  But this I say by way of concession, not of command. (nas)
1Co 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. (kjv)
 1Co 7:7  Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that. (nas)
1Co 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. (kjv)
 1Co 7:8  But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I. (nas)
1Co 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. (kjv)
 1Co 7:9  But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion. (nas)
1Co 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: (kjv)
 1Co 7:10  But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband(nas)
1Co 7:11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. (kjv)
 1Co 7:11 (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife. (nas)
1Co 7:12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. (kjv)
 1Co 7:12  But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her. (nas)
1Co 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. (kjv)
 1Co 7:13  And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away. (nas)
1Co 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. (kjv)
 1Co 7:14  For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. (nas)
1Co 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. (kjv)
 1Co 7:15  Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. (nas)
1Co 7:16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? (kjv)
 1Co 7:16  For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife? (nas)
1Co 7:17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. (kjv)
 1Co 7:17  Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches. (nas)
1Co 7:18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. (kjv)
 1Co 7:18  Was any man called when he was already circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? He is not to be circumcised. (nas)
1Co 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. (kjv)
 1Co 7:19  Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is the keeping of the commandments of God. (nas)
1Co 7:20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. (kjv)
 1Co 7:20  Each man must remain in that condition in which he was called. (nas)
1Co 7:21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. (kjv)
 1Co 7:21  Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that. (nas)
1Co 7:22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. (kjv)
 1Co 7:22  For he who was called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lord's freedman; likewise he who was called while free, is Christ's slave. (nas)
1Co 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. (kjv)
 1Co 7:23  You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men. (nas)
1Co 7:24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. (kjv)
 1Co 7:24  Brethren, each one is to remain with God in that condition in which he was called. (nas)
1Co 7:25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. (kjv)
 1Co 7:25  Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy. (nas)
1Co 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be. (kjv)
 1Co 7:26  I think then that this is good in view of the present distress, that it is good for a man to remain as he is. (nas)
1Co 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. (kjv)
 1Co 7:27  Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you released from a wife? Do not seek a wife. (nas)
1Co 7:28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you. (kjv)
 1Co 7:28  But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you. (nas)
1Co 7:29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; (kjv)
 1Co 7:29  But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none; (nas)
1Co 7:30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; (kjv)
 1Co 7:30 and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess; (nas)
1Co 7:31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away. (kjv)
 1Co 7:31 and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away. (nas)
1Co 7:32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: (kjv)
 1Co 7:32  But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; (nas)
1Co 7:33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. (kjv)
 1Co 7:33 but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, (nas)
1Co 7:34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. (kjv)
 1Co 7:34 and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. (nas)
1Co 7:35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. (kjv)
 1Co 7:35  This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord. (nas)
1Co 7:36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry. (kjv)
 1Co 7:36  But if any man thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin daughter, if she is past her youth, and if it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let her marry. (nas)
1Co 7:37 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. (kjv)
 1Co 7:37  But he who stands firm in his heart, being under no constraint, but has authority over his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter, he will do well. (nas)
1Co 7:38 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. (kjv)
 1Co 7:38  So then both he who gives his own virgin daughter in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage will do better. (nas)
1Co 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. (kjv)
 1Co 7:39  A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband is dead, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord. (nas)
1Co 7:40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.(kjv)
 1Co 7:40  But in my opinion she is happier if she remains as she is; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God. (nas)
1Co 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. (kjv)
 1Co 8:1  Now concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies. (nas)
1Co 8:2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. (kjv)
 1Co 8:2  If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know; (nas)
1Co 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him. (kjv)
 1Co 8:3 but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him. (nas)
1Co 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. (kjv)
 1Co 8:4  Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one. (nas)
1Co 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) (kjv)
 1Co 8:5  For even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, (nas)
1Co 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. (kjv)
 1Co 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him. (nas)
1Co 8:7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. (kjv)
 1Co 8:7  However not all men have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. (nas)
1Co 8:8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. (kjv)
 1Co 8:8  But food will not commend us to God; we are neither the worse if we do not eat, nor the better if we do eat. (nas)
1Co 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. (kjv)
 1Co 8:9  But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. (nas)
1Co 8:10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; (kjv)
 1Co 8:10  For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, dining in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols? (nas)
1Co 8:11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? (kjv)
 1Co 8:11  For through your knowledge he who is weak is ruined, the brother for whose sake Christ died. (nas)
1Co 8:12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. (kjv)
 1Co 8:12  And so, by sinning against the brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. (nas)
1Co 8:13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.(kjv)
 1Co 8:13  Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble. (nas)
1Co 9:1 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? (kjv)
 1Co 9:1  Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? (nas)
1Co 9:2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord. (kjv)
 1Co 9:2  If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. (nas)
1Co 9:3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this, (kjv)
 1Co 9:3  My defense to those who examine me is this: (nas)
1Co 9:4 Have we not power to eat and to drink? (kjv)
 1Co 9:4  Do we not have a right to eat and drink? (nas)
1Co 9:5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? (kjv)
 1Co 9:5  Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas? (nas)
1Co 9:6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working? (kjv)
 1Co 9:6  Or do only Barnabas and I not have a right to refrain from working? (nas)
1Co 9:7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? (kjv)
 1Co 9:7  Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock? (nas)
1Co 9:8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? (kjv)
 1Co 9:8  I am not speaking these things according to human judgment, am I? Or does not the Law also say these things? (nas)
1Co 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? (kjv)
 1Co 9:9  For it is written in the Law of Moses, "YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING." God is not concerned about oxen, is He? (nas)
1Co 9:10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (kjv)
 1Co 9:10  Or is He speaking altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the crops. (nas)
1Co 9:11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? (kjv)
 1Co 9:11  If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you? (nas)
1Co 9:12 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. (kjv)
 1Co 9:12  If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right, but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ. (nas)
1Co 9:13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? (kjv)
 1Co 9:13  Do you not know that those who perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share from the altar? (nas)
1Co 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. (kjv)
 1Co 9:14  So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel. (nas)
1Co 9:15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. (kjv)
 1Co 9:15  But I have used none of these things. And I am not writing these things so that it will be done so in my case; for it would be better for me to die than have any man make my boast an empty one. (nas)
1Co 9:16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! (kjv)
 1Co 9:16  For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel. (nas)
1Co 9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. (kjv)
 1Co 9:17  For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me. (nas)
1Co 9:18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. (kjv)
 1Co 9:18  What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel. (nas)
1Co 9:19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. (kjv)
 1Co 9:19  For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more. (nas)
1Co 9:20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; (kjv)
 1Co 9:20  To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law; (nas)
1Co 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. (kjv)
 1Co 9:21 to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law. (nas)
1Co 9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. (kjv)
 1Co 9:22  To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some. (nas)
1Co 9:23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. (kjv)
 1Co 9:23  I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it. (nas)
1Co 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. (kjv)
 1Co 9:24  Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. (nas)
1Co 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. (kjv)
 1Co 9:25  Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. (nas)
1Co 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: (kjv)
 1Co 9:26  Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; (nas)
1Co 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.(kjv)
 1Co 9:27 but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified. (nas)
1Co 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; (kjv)
 1Co 10:1  For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea; (nas)
1Co 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (kjv)
 1Co 10:2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (nas)
1Co 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; (kjv)
 1Co 10:3 and all ate the same spiritual food; (nas)
1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. (kjv)
 1Co 10:4 and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ. (nas)
1Co 10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. (kjv)
 1Co 10:5  Nevertheless, with most of them God was not well-pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness. (nas)
1Co 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. (kjv)
 1Co 10:6  Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they also craved. (nas)
1Co 10:7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. (kjv)
 1Co 10:7  Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, "THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK, AND STOOD UP TO PLAY."(nas)
1Co 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. (kjv)
 1Co 10:8  Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day. (nas)
1Co 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. (kjv)
 1Co 10:9  Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents. (nas)
1Co 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. (kjv)
 1Co 10:10  Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer. (nas)
1Co 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. (kjv)
 1Co 10:11  Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. (nas)
1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. (kjv)
 1Co 10:12  Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall. (nas)
1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. (kjv)
 1Co 10:13  No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. (nas)
1Co 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. (kjv)
 1Co 10:14  Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. (nas)
1Co 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. (kjv)
 1Co 10:15  I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say. (nas)
1Co 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? (kjv)
 1Co 10:16  Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? (nas)
1Co 10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. (kjv)
 1Co 10:17  Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. (nas)
1Co 10:18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? (kjv)
 1Co 10:18  Look at the nation Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar? (nas)
1Co 10:19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? (kjv)
 1Co 10:19  What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? (nas)
1Co 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. (kjv)
 1Co 10:20  No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons. (nas)
1Co 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. (kjv)
 1Co 10:21  You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. (nas)
1Co 10:22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? (kjv)
 1Co 10:22  Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? (nas)
1Co 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. (kjv)
 1Co 10:23  All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. (nas)
1Co 10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. (kjv)
 1Co 10:24  Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor. (nas)
1Co 10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: (kjv)
 1Co 10:25  Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience' sake; (nas)
1Co 10:26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. (kjv)
 1Co 10:26 for the earth is the Lord's, and all it contains. (nas)
1Co 10:27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. (kjv)
 1Co 10:27  If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience' sake. (nas)
1Co 10:28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: (kjv)
 1Co 10:28  But if anyone says to you, "This is meat sacrificed to idols," do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience' sake; (nas)
1Co 10:29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience? (kjv)
 1Co 10:29  I mean not your own conscience, but the other man's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience? (nas)
1Co 10:30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? (kjv)
 1Co 10:30  If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks? (nas)
1Co 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (kjv)
 1Co 10:31  Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (nas)
1Co 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: (kjv)
 1Co 10:32  Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God; (nas)
1Co 10:33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.(kjv)
 1Co 10:33 just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved. (nas)
1Co 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. (kjv)
 1Co 11:1  Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ. (nas)
1Co 11:2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. (kjv)
 1Co 11:2  Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you. (nas)
1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. (kjv)
 1Co 11:3  But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. (nas)
1Co 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. (kjv)
 1Co 11:4  Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head. (nas)
1Co 11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. (kjv)
 1Co 11:5  But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved. (nas)
1Co 11:6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. (kjv)
 1Co 11:6  For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head. (nas)
1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. (kjv)
 1Co 11:7  For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. (nas)
1Co 11:8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. (kjv)
 1Co 11:8  For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; (nas)
1Co 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. (kjv)
 1Co 11:9 for indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake. (nas)
1Co 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. (kjv)
 1Co 11:10  Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. (nas)
1Co 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. (kjv)
 1Co 11:11  However, in the Lord, neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. (nas)
1Co 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. (kjv)
 1Co 11:12  For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God. (nas)
1Co 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? (kjv)
 1Co 11:13  Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? (nas)
1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? (kjv)
 1Co 11:14  Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, (nas)
1Co 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. (kjv)
 1Co 11:15 but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering. (nas)
1Co 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. (kjv)
 1Co 11:16  But if one is inclined to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor have the churches of God. (nas)
1Co 11:17 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. (kjv)
 1Co 11:17  But in giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse. (nas)
1Co 11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. (kjv)
 1Co 11:18  For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it. (nas)
1Co 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. (kjv)
 1Co 11:19  For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you. (nas)
1Co 11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. (kjv)
 1Co 11:20  Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper, (nas)
1Co 11:21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. (kjv)
 1Co 11:21 for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk. (nas)
1Co 11:22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. (kjv)
 1Co 11:22  What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you. (nas)
1Co 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: (kjv)
 1Co 11:23  For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; (nas)
1Co 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. (kjv)
 1Co 11:24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."(nas)
1Co 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. (kjv)
 1Co 11:25  In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."(nas)
1Co 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. (kjv)
 1Co 11:26  For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes. (nas)
1Co 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. (kjv)
 1Co 11:27  Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. (nas)
1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. (kjv)
 1Co 11:28  But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. (nas)
1Co 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. (kjv)
 1Co 11:29  For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. (nas)
1Co 11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. (kjv)
 1Co 11:30  For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. (nas)
1Co 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. (kjv)
 1Co 11:31  But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. (nas)
1Co 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. (kjv)
 1Co 11:32  But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world. (nas)
1Co 11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. (kjv)
 1Co 11:33  So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. (nas)
1Co 11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.(kjv)
 1Co 11:34  If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come. (nas)
1Co 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. (kjv)
 1Co 12:1  Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware. (nas)
1Co 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. (kjv)
 1Co 12:2  You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the mute idols, however you were led. (nas)
1Co 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. (kjv)
 1Co 12:3  Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed"; and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. (nas)
1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. (kjv)
 1Co 12:4  Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. (nas)
1Co 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. (kjv)
 1Co 12:5  And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. (nas)
1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. (kjv)
 1Co 12:6  There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. (nas)
1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. (kjv)
 1Co 12:7  But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. (nas)
1Co 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; (kjv)
 1Co 12:8  For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; (nas)
1Co 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; (kjv)
 1Co 12:9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, (nas)
1Co 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: (kjv)
 1Co 12:10 and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. (nas)
1Co 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. (kjv)
 1Co 12:11  But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills. (nas)
1Co 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. (kjv)
 1Co 12:12  For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. (nas)
1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. (kjv)
 1Co 12:13  For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. (nas)
1Co 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many. (kjv)
 1Co 12:14  For the body is not one member, but many. (nas)
1Co 12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? (kjv)
 1Co 12:15  If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body. (nas)
1Co 12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? (kjv)
 1Co 12:16  And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body. (nas)
1Co 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? (kjv)
 1Co 12:17  If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? (nas)
1Co 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. (kjv)
 1Co 12:18  But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired. (nas)
1Co 12:19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? (kjv)
 1Co 12:19  If they were all one member, where would the body be? (nas)
1Co 12:20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. (kjv)
 1Co 12:20  But now there are many members, but one body. (nas)
1Co 12:21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. (kjv)
 1Co 12:21  And the eye cannot say to the hand," I have no need of you"; or again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."(nas)
1Co 12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: (kjv)
 1Co 12:22  On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; (nas)
1Co 12:23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. (kjv)
 1Co 12:23 and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable, (nas)
1Co 12:24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked. (kjv)
 1Co 12:24 whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked, (nas)
1Co 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. (kjv)
 1Co 12:25 so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. (nas)
1Co 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. (kjv)
 1Co 12:26  And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. (nas)
1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. (kjv)
 1Co 12:27  Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it. (nas)
1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. (kjv)
 1Co 12:28  And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. (nas)
1Co 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? (kjv)
 1Co 12:29  All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they? (nas)
1Co 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? (kjv)
 1Co 12:30  All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they? (nas)
1Co 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.(kjv)
 1Co 12:31  But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way. (nas)
1Co 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. (kjv)
 1Co 13:1  If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. (nas)
1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. (kjv)
 1Co 13:2  If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. (nas)
1Co 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. (kjv)
 1Co 13:3  And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. (nas)
1Co 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, (kjv)
 1Co 13:4  Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, (nas)
1Co 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; (kjv)
 1Co 13:5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, (nas)
1Co 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; (kjv)
 1Co 13:6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; (nas)
1Co 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. (kjv)
 1Co 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (nas)
1Co 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. (kjv)
 1Co 13:8  Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. (nas)
1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. (kjv)
 1Co 13:9  For we know in part and we prophesy in part; (nas)
1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. (kjv)
 1Co 13:10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. (nas)
1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. (kjv)
 1Co 13:11  When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. (nas)
1Co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. (kjv)
 1Co 13:12  For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. (nas)
1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.(kjv)
 1Co 13:13  But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love. (nas)
1Co 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. (kjv)
 1Co 14:1  Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. (nas)
1Co 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. (kjv)
 1Co 14:2  For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries. (nas)
1Co 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. (kjv)
 1Co 14:3  But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation. (nas)
1Co 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. (kjv)
 1Co 14:4  One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church. (nas)
1Co 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. (kjv)
 1Co 14:5  Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying. (nas)
1Co 14:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? (kjv)
 1Co 14:6  But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching? (nas)
1Co 14:7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? (kjv)
 1Co 14:7  Yet even lifeless things, either flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp? (nas)
1Co 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? (kjv)
 1Co 14:8  For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle? (nas)
1Co 14:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. (kjv)
 1Co 14:9  So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. (nas)
1Co 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. (kjv)
 1Co 14:10  There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning. (nas)
1Co 14:11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. (kjv)
 1Co 14:11  If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be to the one who speaks a barbarian, and the one who speaks will be a barbarian to me. (nas)
1Co 14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. (kjv)
 1Co 14:12  So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church. (nas)
1Co 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. (kjv)
 1Co 14:13  Therefore let one who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. (nas)
1Co 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. (kjv)
 1Co 14:14  For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. (nas)
1Co 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. (kjv)
 1Co 14:15  What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also. (nas)
1Co 14:16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? (kjv)
 1Co 14:16  Otherwise if you bless in the spirit only, how will the one who fills the place of the ungifted say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying? (nas)
1Co 14:17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. (kjv)
 1Co 14:17  For you are giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not edified. (nas)
1Co 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: (kjv)
 1Co 14:18  I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you all; (nas)
1Co 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. (kjv)
 1Co 14:19 however, in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue. (nas)
1Co 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. (kjv)
 1Co 14:20  Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature. (nas)
1Co 14:21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the LORD. (kjv)
 1Co 14:21  In the Law it is written, "BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME," says the Lord. (nas)
1Co 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. (kjv)
 1Co 14:22  So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe. (nas)
1Co 14:23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? (kjv)
 1Co 14:23  Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad? (nas)
1Co 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: (kjv)
 1Co 14:24  But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all; (nas)
1Co 14:25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth. (kjv)
 1Co 14:25 the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you. (nas)
1Co 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. (kjv)
 1Co 14:26  What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. (nas)
1Co 14:27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. (kjv)
 1Co 14:27  If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret; (nas)
1Co 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. (kjv)
 1Co 14:28 but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God. (nas)
1Co 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. (kjv)
 1Co 14:29  Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment. (nas)
1Co 14:30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. (kjv)
 1Co 14:30  But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent. (nas)
1Co 14:31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. (kjv)
 1Co 14:31  For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted; (nas)
1Co 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. (kjv)
 1Co 14:32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; (nas)
1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. (kjv)
 1Co 14:33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. (nas)
1Co 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. (kjv)
 1Co 14:34  The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. (nas)
1Co 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. (kjv)
 1Co 14:35  If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church. (nas)
1Co 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? (kjv)
 1Co 14:36  Was it from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it come to you only? (nas)

 1Co 14:38  But if anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized. (nas)
1Co 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. (kjv)
 1Co 14:39  Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues. (nas)
1Co 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.(kjv)
 1Co 14:40  But all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner. (nas)
1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; (kjv)
 1Co 15:1  Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, (nas)
1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. (kjv)
 1Co 15:2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. (nas)
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; (kjv)
 1Co 15:3  For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, (nas)
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (kjv)
 1Co 15:4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, (nas)
1Co 15:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: (kjv)
 1Co 15:5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. (nas)
1Co 15:6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. (kjv)
 1Co 15:6  After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; (nas)
1Co 15:7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. (kjv)
 1Co 15:7 then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; (nas)
1Co 15:8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. (kjv)
 1Co 15:8 and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. (nas)
1Co 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. (kjv)
 1Co 15:9  For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. (nas)
1Co 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. (kjv)
 1Co 15:10  But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. (nas)
1Co 15:11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. (kjv)
 1Co 15:11  Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. (nas)
1Co 15:12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? (kjv)
 1Co 15:12  Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? (nas)
1Co 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: (kjv)
 1Co 15:13  But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; (nas)
1Co 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. (kjv)
 1Co 15:14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. (nas)
1Co 15:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. (kjv)
 1Co 15:15  Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. (nas)
1Co 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: (kjv)
 1Co 15:16  For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; (nas)
1Co 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. (kjv)
 1Co 15:17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. (nas)
1Co 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. (kjv)
 1Co 15:18  Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. (nas)
1Co 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. (kjv)
 1Co 15:19  If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied. (nas)
1Co 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. (kjv)
 1Co 15:20  But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. (nas)
1Co 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. (kjv)
 1Co 15:21  For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. (nas)
1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (kjv)
 1Co 15:22  For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. (nas)
1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. (kjv)
 1Co 15:23  But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, (nas)
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. (kjv)
 1Co 15:24 then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. (nas)
1Co 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. (kjv)
 1Co 15:25  For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. (nas)
1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. (kjv)
 1Co 15:26  The last enemy that will be abolished is death. (nas)
1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. (kjv)
 1Co 15:27  For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. (nas)
1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. (kjv)
 1Co 15:28  When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all. (nas)
1Co 15:29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? (kjv)
 1Co 15:29  Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them? (nas)
1Co 15:30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? (kjv)
 1Co 15:30  Why are we also in danger every hour? (nas)
1Co 15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily. (kjv)
 1Co 15:31  I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. (nas)
1Co 15:32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die. (kjv)
 1Co 15:32  If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE. (nas)
1Co 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. (kjv)
 1Co 15:33  Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals."(nas)
1Co 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. (kjv)
 1Co 15:34  Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame. (nas)
1Co 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? (kjv)
 1Co 15:35  But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?"(nas)
1Co 15:36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: (kjv)
 1Co 15:36  You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies; (nas)
1Co 15:37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: (kjv)
 1Co 15:37 and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else. (nas)
1Co 15:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. (kjv)
 1Co 15:38  But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own. (nas)
1Co 15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. (kjv)
 1Co 15:39  All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. (nas)
1Co 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. (kjv)
 1Co 15:40  There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. (nas)
1Co 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. (kjv)
 1Co 15:41  There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. (nas)
1Co 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: (kjv)
 1Co 15:42  So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; (nas)
1Co 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: (kjv)
 1Co 15:43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; (nas)
1Co 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. (kjv)
 1Co 15:44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. (nas)
1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. (kjv)
 1Co 15:45  So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. (nas)
1Co 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. (kjv)
 1Co 15:46  However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. (nas)
1Co 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. (kjv)
 1Co 15:47  The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. (nas)
1Co 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. (kjv)
 1Co 15:48  As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. (nas)
1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. (kjv)
 1Co 15:49  Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly. (nas)
1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. (kjv)
 1Co 15:50  Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. (nas)
1Co 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, (kjv)
 1Co 15:51  Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, (nas)
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (kjv)
 1Co 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. (nas)
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. (kjv)
 1Co 15:53  For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. (nas)
1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. (kjv)
 1Co 15:54  But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. (nas)
1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? (kjv)
 1Co 15:55  O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?"(nas)
1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. (kjv)
 1Co 15:56  The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; (nas)
1Co 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (kjv)
 1Co 15:57 but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (nas)

 1Co 16:3  When I arrive, whomever you may approve, I will send them with letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem; (nas)
1Co 16:4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me. (kjv)
 1Co 16:4 and if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me. (nas)
1Co 16:5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia. (kjv)
 1Co 16:5  But I will come to you after I go through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia; (nas)
1Co 16:6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. (kjv)
 1Co 16:6 and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go. (nas)
1Co 16:7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. (kjv)
 1Co 16:7  For I do not wish to see you now just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits. (nas)
1Co 16:8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. (kjv)
 1Co 16:8  But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost; (nas)
1Co 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. (kjv)
 1Co 16:9 for a wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries. (nas)

 1Co 16:12  But concerning Apollos our brother, I encouraged him greatly to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his desire to come now, but he will come when he has opportunity. (nas)
1Co 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. (kjv)

 2Co 1:13  For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end; (nas)
2Co 1:14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are our's in the day of the Lord Jesus. (kjv)
 2Co 1:14 just as you also partially did understand us, that we are your reason to be proud as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus. (nas)
2Co 1:15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit; (kjv)
 2Co 1:15  In this confidence I intended at first to come to you, so that you might twice receive a blessing; (nas)
2Co 1:16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea. (kjv)
 2Co 1:16 that is, to pass your way into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be helped on my journey to Judea. (nas)
2Co 1:17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay? (kjv)
 2Co 1:17  Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, so that with me there will be yes, yes and no, no at the same time? (nas)
2Co 1:18 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. (kjv)
 2Co 1:18  But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no. (nas)
2Co 1:19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. (kjv)
 2Co 1:19  For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us--by me and Silvanus and Timothy--was not yes and no, but is yes in Him. (nas)
2Co 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. (kjv)
 2Co 1:20  For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us. (nas)
2Co 1:21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; (kjv)
 2Co 1:21  Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, (nas)
2Co 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. (kjv)
 2Co 1:22 who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. (nas)
2Co 1:23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth. (kjv)
 2Co 1:23  But I call God as witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth. (nas)
2Co 1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.(kjv)
 2Co 1:24  Not that we lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm. (nas)
2Co 2:1 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness. (kjv)
 2Co 2:1  But I determined this for my own sake, that I would not come to you in sorrow again. (nas)
2Co 2:2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me? (kjv)
 2Co 2:2  For if I cause you sorrow, who then makes me glad but the one whom I made sorrowful? (nas)
2Co 2:3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all. (kjv)
 2Co 2:3  This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all. (nas)
2Co 2:4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. (kjv)
 2Co 2:4  For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you. (nas)
2Co 2:5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. (kjv)
 2Co 2:5  But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in some degree--in order not to say too much--to all of you. (nas)
2Co 2:6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. (kjv)
 2Co 2:6  Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority, (nas)
2Co 2:7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. (kjv)
 2Co 2:7 so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. (nas)
2Co 2:8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him. (kjv)
 2Co 2:8  Wherefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him. (nas)
2Co 2:9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. (kjv)
 2Co 2:9  For to this end also I wrote, so that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things. (nas)
2Co 2:10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; (kjv)
 2Co 2:10  But one whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ, (nas)
2Co 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. (kjv)
 2Co 2:11 so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes. (nas)
2Co 2:12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, (kjv)
 2Co 2:12  Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord, (nas)
2Co 2:13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia. (kjv)
 2Co 2:13  I had no rest for my spirit, not finding Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I went on to Macedonia. (nas)
2Co 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. (kjv)
 2Co 2:14  But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. (nas)
2Co 2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: (kjv)
 2Co 2:15  For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; (nas)
2Co 2:16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? (kjv)
 2Co 2:16 to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things? (nas)
2Co 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.(kjv)
 2Co 2:17  For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God. (nas)
2Co 3:1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? (kjv)
 2Co 3:1  Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you? (nas)
2Co 3:2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: (kjv)
 2Co 3:2  You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; (nas)
2Co 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. (kjv)
 2Co 3:3 being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. (nas)
2Co 3:4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: (kjv)
 2Co 3:4  Such confidence we have through Christ toward God. (nas)
2Co 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; (kjv)
 2Co 3:5  Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, (nas)
2Co 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. (kjv)
 2Co 3:6 who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. (nas)
2Co 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: (kjv)
 2Co 3:7  But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, (nas)
2Co 3:8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? (kjv)
 2Co 3:8 how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? (nas)
2Co 3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. (kjv)
 2Co 3:9  For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory. (nas)
2Co 3:10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. (kjv)
 2Co 3:10  For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it. (nas)
2Co 3:11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. (kjv)
 2Co 3:11  For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory. (nas)
2Co 3:12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: (kjv)
 2Co 3:12  Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech, (nas)
2Co 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: (kjv)
 2Co 3:13 and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end of what was fading away. (nas)
2Co 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. (kjv)
 2Co 3:14  But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ. (nas)
2Co 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. (kjv)
 2Co 3:15  But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; (nas)
2Co 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. (kjv)
 2Co 3:16 but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. (nas)
2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. (kjv)
 2Co 3:17  Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. (nas)
2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.(kjv)
 2Co 3:18  But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. (nas)
2Co 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; (kjv)
 2Co 4:1  Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart, (nas)
2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. (kjv)
 2Co 4:2 but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. (nas)
2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: (kjv)
 2Co 4:3  And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, (nas)
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (kjv)
 2Co 4:4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (nas)
2Co 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. (kjv)
 2Co 4:5  For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus' sake. (nas)
2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (kjv)
 2Co 4:6  For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. (nas)
2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. (kjv)
 2Co 4:7  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves; (nas)
2Co 4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; (kjv)
 2Co 4:8 we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; (nas)
2Co 4:9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; (kjv)
 2Co 4:9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; (nas)
2Co 4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. (kjv)
 2Co 4:10 always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. (nas)
2Co 4:11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. (kjv)
 2Co 4:11  For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. (nas)
2Co 4:12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. (kjv)
 2Co 4:12  So death works in us, but life in you. (nas)
2Co 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; (kjv)
 2Co 4:13  But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE," we also believe, therefore we also speak, (nas)
2Co 4:14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. (kjv)
 2Co 4:14 knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you. (nas)
2Co 4:15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. (kjv)
 2Co 4:15  For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God. (nas)
2Co 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (kjv)
 2Co 4:16  Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. (nas)
2Co 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (kjv)
 2Co 4:17  For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, (nas)
2Co 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.(kjv)
 2Co 4:18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (nas)
2Co 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (kjv)
 2Co 5:1  For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (nas)
2Co 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: (kjv)
 2Co 5:2  For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, (nas)
2Co 5:3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. (kjv)
 2Co 5:3 inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked. (nas)
2Co 5:4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. (kjv)
 2Co 5:4  For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. (nas)
2Co 5:5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. (kjv)
 2Co 5:5  Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge. (nas)
2Co 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (kjv)
 2Co 5:6  Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord--(nas)
2Co 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) (kjv)
 2Co 5:7 for we walk by faith, not by sight--(nas)
2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. (kjv)
 2Co 5:8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. (nas)
2Co 5:9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. (kjv)
 2Co 5:9  Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. (nas)
2Co 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (kjv)
 2Co 5:10  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. (nas)
2Co 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. (kjv)
 2Co 5:11  Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences. (nas)
2Co 5:12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. (kjv)
 2Co 5:12  We are not again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart. (nas)
2Co 5:13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause. (kjv)
 2Co 5:13  For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. (nas)
2Co 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: (kjv)
 2Co 5:14  For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; (nas)
2Co 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. (kjv)
 2Co 5:15 and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. (nas)
2Co 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. (kjv)
 2Co 5:16  Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. (nas)
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (kjv)
 2Co 5:17  Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. (nas)
2Co 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; (kjv)
 2Co 5:18  Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, (nas)
2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. (kjv)
 2Co 5:19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. (nas)
2Co 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. (kjv)
 2Co 5:20  Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. (nas)
2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.(kjv)
 2Co 5:21  He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (nas)
2Co 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (kjv)
 2Co 6:1  And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain--(nas)
2Co 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) (kjv)
 2Co 6:2 for He says, "AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU." Behold, now is "THE ACCEPTABLE TIME," behold, now is "THE DAY OF SALVATION"--(nas)
2Co 6:3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: (kjv)
 2Co 6:3 giving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited, (nas)
2Co 6:4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, (kjv)
 2Co 6:4 but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses, (nas)
2Co 6:5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; (kjv)
 2Co 6:5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in hunger, (nas)
2Co 6:6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, (kjv)
 2Co 6:6 in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love, (nas)
2Co 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, (kjv)
 2Co 6:7 in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, (nas)
2Co 6:8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; (kjv)
 2Co 6:8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true; (nas)
2Co 6:9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; (kjv)
 2Co 6:9 as unknown yet well-known, as dying yet behold, we live; as punished yet not put to death, (nas)
2Co 6:10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. (kjv)
 2Co 6:10 as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things. (nas)
2Co 6:11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. (kjv)
 2Co 6:11  Our mouth has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians, our heart is opened wide. (nas)
2Co 6:12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. (kjv)
 2Co 6:12  You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained in your own affections. (nas)
2Co 6:13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged. (kjv)
 2Co 6:13  Now in a like exchange--I speak as to children--open wide to us also. (nas)
2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? (kjv)
 2Co 6:14  Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? (nas)
2Co 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? (kjv)
 2Co 6:15  Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? (nas)
2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (kjv)
 2Co 6:16  Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, "I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. (nas)
2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. (kjv)
 2Co 6:17 "; And I will welcome you. (nas)
2Co 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.(kjv)
 2Co 6:18 "And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me," Says the Lord Almighty. (nas)
2Co 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (kjv)
 2Co 7:1  Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (nas)
2Co 7:2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. (kjv)
 2Co 7:2  Make room for us in your hearts; we wronged no one, we corrupted no one, we took advantage of no one. (nas)
2Co 7:3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you. (kjv)
 2Co 7:3  I do not speak to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live together. (nas)
2Co 7:4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. (kjv)
 2Co 7:4  Great is my confidence in you; great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction. (nas)
2Co 7:5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. (kjv)
 2Co 7:5  For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side: conflicts without, fears within. (nas)
2Co 7:6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; (kjv)
 2Co 7:6  But God, who comforts the depressed, comforted us by the coming of Titus; (nas)
2Co 7:7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more. (kjv)
 2Co 7:7 and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced even more. (nas)
2Co 7:8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season. (kjv)
 2Co 7:8  For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it--for I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while--(nas)
2Co 7:9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. (kjv)
 2Co 7:9  I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us. (nas)
2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (kjv)
 2Co 7:10  For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. (nas)
2Co 7:11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. (kjv)
 2Co 7:11  For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter. (nas)
2Co 7:12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you. (kjv)
 2Co 7:12  So although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the offender nor for the sake of the one offended, but that your earnestness on our behalf might be made known to you in the sight of God. (nas)
2Co 7:13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. (kjv)
 2Co 7:13  For this reason we have been comforted. And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all. (nas)
2Co 7:14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth. (kjv)
 2Co 7:14  For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting before Titus proved to be the truth. (nas)
2Co 7:15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. (kjv)
 2Co 7:15  His affection abounds all the more toward you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling. (nas)
2Co 7:16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.(kjv)
 2Co 7:16  I rejoice that in everything I have confidence in you. (nas)
2Co 8:1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; (kjv)
 2Co 8:1  Now, brethren, we wish to make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia, (nas)
2Co 8:2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. (kjv)
 2Co 8:2 that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality. (nas)
2Co 8:3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves; (kjv)
 2Co 8:3  For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave of their own accord, (nas)
2Co 8:4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. (kjv)
 2Co 8:4 begging us with much urging for the favor of participation in the support of the saints, (nas)
2Co 8:5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God. (kjv)
 2Co 8:5 and this, not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God. (nas)
2Co 8:6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. (kjv)
 2Co 8:6  So we urged Titus that as he had previously made a beginning, so he would also complete in you this gracious work as well. (nas)
2Co 8:7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. (kjv)
 2Co 8:7  But just as you abound in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the love we inspired in you, see that you abound in this gracious work also. (nas)
2Co 8:8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. (kjv)
 2Co 8:8  I am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity of your love also. (nas)
2Co 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. (kjv)
 2Co 8:9  For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. (nas)
2Co 8:10 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. (kjv)
 2Co 8:10  I give my opinion in this matter, for this is to your advantage, who were the first to begin a year ago not only to do this, but also to desire to do it. (nas)
2Co 8:11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. (kjv)
 2Co 8:11  But now finish doing it also, so that just as there was the readiness to desire it, so there may be also the completion of it by your ability. (nas)
2Co 8:12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. (kjv)
 2Co 8:12  For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have. (nas)
2Co 8:13 For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: (kjv)
 2Co 8:13  For this is not for the ease of others and for your affliction, but by way of equality--(nas)
2Co 8:14 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: (kjv)
 2Co 8:14 at this present time your abundance being a supply for their need, so that their abundance also may become a supply for your need, that there may be equality; (nas)
2Co 8:15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack. (kjv)
 2Co 8:15 as it is written, "HE WHO gathered MUCH DID NOT HAVE TOO MUCH, AND HE WHO gathered LITTLE HAD NO LACK."(nas)
2Co 8:16 But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you. (kjv)
 2Co 8:16  But thanks be to God who puts the same earnestness on your behalf in the heart of Titus. (nas)
2Co 8:17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you. (kjv)
 2Co 8:17  For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest, he has gone to you of his own accord. (nas)
2Co 8:18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches; (kjv)
 2Co 8:18  We have sent along with him the brother whose fame in the things of the gospel has spread through all the churches; (nas)
2Co 8:19 And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind: (kjv)
 2Co 8:19 and not only this, but he has also been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work, which is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our readiness, (nas)
2Co 8:20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us: (kjv)
 2Co 8:20 taking precaution so that no one will discredit us in our administration of this generous gift; (nas)
2Co 8:21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. (kjv)
 2Co 8:21 for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. (nas)
2Co 8:22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you. (kjv)
 2Co 8:22  We have sent with them our brother, whom we have often tested and found diligent in many things, but now even more diligent because of his great confidence in you. (nas)
2Co 8:23 Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ. (kjv)
 2Co 8:23  As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ. (nas)
2Co 8:24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.(kjv)
 2Co 8:24  Therefore openly before the churches, show them the proof of your love and of our reason for boasting about you. (nas)
2Co 9:1 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: (kjv)
 2Co 9:1  For it is superfluous for me to write to you about this ministry to the saints; (nas)
2Co 9:2 For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many. (kjv)
 2Co 9:2 for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the Macedonians, namely, that Achaia has been prepared since last year, and your zeal has stirred up most of them. (nas)
2Co 9:3 Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready: (kjv)
 2Co 9:3  But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made empty in this case, so that, as I was saying, you may be prepared; (nas)
2Co 9:4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting. (kjv)
 2Co 9:4 otherwise if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we--not to speak of you--will be put to shame by this confidence. (nas)
2Co 9:5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. (kjv)
 2Co 9:5  So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren that they would go on ahead to you and arrange beforehand your previously promised bountiful gift, so that the same would be ready as a bountiful gift and not affected by covetousness. (nas)
2Co 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. (kjv)
 2Co 9:6  Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. (nas)
2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. (kjv)
 2Co 9:7  Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. (nas)
2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (kjv)
 2Co 9:8  And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; (nas)
2Co 9:9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. (kjv)
 2Co 9:9 as it is ."(nas)
2Co 9:10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) (kjv)
 2Co 9:10  Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; (nas)
2Co 9:11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. (kjv)
 2Co 9:11 you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God. (nas)
2Co 9:12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; (kjv)
 2Co 9:12  For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God. (nas)
2Co 9:13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; (kjv)
 2Co 9:13  Because of the proof given by this ministry, they will glorify God for your obedience to your confession of the gospel of Christ and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all, (nas)
2Co 9:14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. (kjv)
 2Co 9:14 while they also, by prayer on your behalf, yearn for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you. (nas)
2Co 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.(kjv)
 2Co 9:15  Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! (nas)
2Co 10:1 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you: (kjv)
 2Co 10:1  Now I, Paul, myself urge you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--I who am meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent! (nas)
2Co 10:2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. (kjv)
 2Co 10:2  I ask that when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I propose to be courageous against some, who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh. (nas)
2Co 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (kjv)
 2Co 10:3  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, (nas)
2Co 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) (kjv)
 2Co 10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. (nas)
2Co 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; (kjv)
 2Co 10:5  We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, (nas)
2Co 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. (kjv)
 2Co 10:6 and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete. (nas)
2Co 10:7 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's. (kjv)
 2Co 10:7  You are looking at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also are we. (nas)
2Co 10:8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed: (kjv)
 2Co 10:8  For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be put to shame, (nas)
2Co 10:9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters. (kjv)
 2Co 10:9 for I do not wish to seem as if I would terrify you by my letters. (nas)
2Co 10:10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. (kjv)
 2Co 10:10  For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his personal presence is unimpressive and his speech contemptible."(nas)
2Co 10:11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present. (kjv)
 2Co 10:11  Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present. (nas)
2Co 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. (kjv)
 2Co 10:12  For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding. (nas)
2Co 10:13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you. (kjv)
 2Co 10:13  But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you. (nas)
2Co 10:14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ: (kjv)
 2Co 10:14  For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to come even as far as you in the gospel of Christ; (nas)
2Co 10:15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly, (kjv)
 2Co 10:15 not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we will be, within our sphere, enlarged even more by you, (nas)
2Co 10:16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand. (kjv)
 2Co 10:16 so as to preach the gospel even to the regions beyond you, and not to boast in what has been accomplished in the sphere of another. (nas)
2Co 10:17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. (kjv)
 2Co 10:17  But HE WHO BOASTS IS TO BOAST IN THE LORD. (nas)
2Co 10:18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.(kjv)
 2Co 10:18  For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends. (nas)
2Co 11:1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. (kjv)
 2Co 11:1  I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness; but indeed you are bearing with me. (nas)
2Co 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. (kjv)
 2Co 11:2  For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin. (nas)
2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (kjv)
 2Co 11:3  But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. (nas)
2Co 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. (kjv)
 2Co 11:4  For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully. (nas)
2Co 11:5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. (kjv)
 2Co 11:5  For I consider myself not in the least inferior to the most eminent apostles. (nas)
2Co 11:6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things. (kjv)
 2Co 11:6  But even if I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not so in knowledge; in fact, in every way we have made this evident to you in all things. (nas)
2Co 11:7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely? (kjv)
 2Co 11:7  Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you without charge? (nas)
2Co 11:8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service. (kjv)
 2Co 11:8  I robbed other churches by taking wages from them to serve you; (nas)
2Co 11:9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself. (kjv)
 2Co 11:9 and when I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for when the brethren came from Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will continue to do so. (nas)
2Co 11:10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia. (kjv)
 2Co 11:10  As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia. (nas)
2Co 11:11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth. (kjv)
 2Co 11:11  Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do! (nas)
2Co 11:12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. (kjv)
 2Co 11:12  But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting. (nas)
2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. (kjv)
 2Co 11:13  For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. (nas)
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (kjv)
 2Co 11:14  No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. (nas)
2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (kjv)
 2Co 11:15  Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds. (nas)
2Co 11:16 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little. (kjv)
 2Co 11:16  Again I say, let no one think me foolish; but if you do, receive me even as foolish, so that I also may boast a little. (nas)
2Co 11:17 That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. (kjv)
 2Co 11:17  What I am saying, I am not saying as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting. (nas)
2Co 11:18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also. (kjv)
 2Co 11:18  Since many boast according to the flesh, I will boast also. (nas)
2Co 11:19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise. (kjv)
 2Co 11:19  For you, being so wise, tolerate the foolish gladly. (nas)
2Co 11:20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face. (kjv)
 2Co 11:20  For you tolerate it if anyone enslaves you, anyone devours you, anyone takes advantage of you, anyone exalts himself, anyone hits you in the face. (nas)
2Co 11:21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also. (kjv)
 2Co 11:21  To my shame I must say that we have been weak by comparison. But in whatever respect anyone else is bold--I speak in foolishness--I am just as bold myself. (nas)
2Co 11:22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I. (kjv)
 2Co 11:22  Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I. (nas)
2Co 11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. (kjv)
 2Co 11:23  Are they servants of Christ?--I speak as if insane--I more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death. (nas)
2Co 11:24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. (kjv)
 2Co 11:24  Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes. (nas)

 2Co 11:25  Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep. (nas)
2Co 11:26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; (kjv)
 2Co 11:26  I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren; (nas)
2Co 11:27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. (kjv)
 2Co 11:27  I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. (nas)
2Co 11:28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. (kjv)
 2Co 11:28  Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches. (nas)
2Co 11:29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? (kjv)
 2Co 11:29  Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern? (nas)
2Co 11:30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities. (kjv)
 2Co 11:30  If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness. (nas)
2Co 11:31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. (kjv)
 2Co 11:31  The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. (nas)
2Co 11:32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me: (kjv)
 2Co 11:32  In Damascus the ethnarch under Aretas the king was guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to seize me, (nas)
2Co 11:33 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.(kjv)
 2Co 11:33 and I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands. (nas)
2Co 12:1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. (kjv)
 2Co 12:1  Boasting is necessary, though it is not profitable; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. (nas)
2Co 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. (kjv)
 2Co 12:2  I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a man was caught up to the third heaven. (nas)
2Co 12:3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) (kjv)
 2Co 12:3  And I know how such a man--whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows--(nas)
2Co 12:4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. (kjv)
 2Co 12:4 was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak. (nas)
2Co 12:5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. (kjv)
 2Co 12:5  On behalf of such a man I will boast; but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in regard to my weaknesses. (nas)
2Co 12:6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. (kjv)
 2Co 12:6  For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me. (nas)
2Co 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. (kjv)
 2Co 12:7  Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me--to keep me from exalting myself! (nas)
2Co 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. (kjv)
 2Co 12:8  Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. (nas)
2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (kjv)
 2Co 12:9  And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. (nas)
2Co 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. (kjv)
 2Co 12:10  Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. (nas)
2Co 12:11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. (kjv)
 2Co 12:11  I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am a nobody. (nas)
2Co 12:12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. (kjv)
 2Co 12:12  The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles. (nas)
2Co 12:13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong. (kjv)
 2Co 12:13  For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong! (nas)
2Co 12:14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your's but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. (kjv)
 2Co 12:14  Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you; for children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. (nas)
2Co 12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. (kjv)
 2Co 12:15  I will most gladly spend and be expended for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less? (nas)
2Co 12:16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. (kjv)
 2Co 12:16  But be that as it may, I did not burden you myself; nevertheless, crafty fellow that I am, I took you in by deceit. (nas)
2Co 12:17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you? (kjv)
 2Co 12:17  Certainly I have not taken advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you, have I? (nas)
2Co 12:18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps? (kjv)
 2Co 12:18  I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take any advantage of you, did he? Did we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit and walk in the same steps? (nas)
2Co 12:19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. (kjv)
 2Co 12:19  All this time you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and all for your upbuilding, beloved. (nas)
2Co 12:20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: (kjv)
 2Co 12:20  For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances; (nas)
2Co 12:21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.(kjv)
 2Co 12:21  I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have sinned in the past and not repented of the impurity, immorality and sensuality which they have practiced. (nas)
2Co 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. (kjv)
 2Co 13:1  This is the third time I am coming to you. EVERY FACT IS TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES. (nas)
2Co 13:2 I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare: (kjv)
 2Co 13:2  I have previously said when present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that if I come again I will not spare anyone, (nas)
2Co 13:3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. (kjv)
 2Co 13:3 since you are seeking for proof of the Christ who speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you. (nas)
2Co 13:4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. (kjv)
 2Co 13:4  For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you. (nas)
2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? (kjv)
 2Co 13:5  Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you fail the test? (nas)
2Co 13:6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. (kjv)
 2Co 13:6  But I trust that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test. (nas)
2Co 13:7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. (kjv)
 2Co 13:7  Now we pray to God that you do no wrong; not that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, even though we may appear unapproved. (nas)
2Co 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. (kjv)
 2Co 13:8  For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth. (nas)
2Co 13:9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. (kjv)
 2Co 13:9  For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak but you are strong; this we also pray for, that you be made complete. (nas)
2Co 13:10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction. (kjv)
 2Co 13:10  For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down. (nas)
2Co 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. (kjv)
 2Co 13:11  Finally, brethren, rejoice, be made complete, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. (nas)
2Co 13:12 Greet one another with an holy kiss. (kjv)
 2Co 13:12  Greet one another with a holy kiss. (nas)
2Co 13:13 All the saints salute you. (kjv)

2Co 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.(kjv)
 2Co 13:14  The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. (nas)
Gal 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) (kjv)
 Gal 1:1  Paul, an apostle (not sent from men nor through the agency of man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead), (nas)
Gal 1:2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: (kjv)
 Gal 1:2 and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: (nas)
Gal 1:3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, (kjv)
 Gal 1:3  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, (nas)
Gal 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (kjv)
 Gal 1:4 who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (nas)
Gal 1:5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (kjv)
 Gal 1:5 to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen. (nas)
Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: (kjv)
 Gal 1:6  I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; (nas)
Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. (kjv)
 Gal 1:7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. (nas)
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. (kjv)
 Gal 1:8  But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! (nas)
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. (kjv)
 Gal 1:9  As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! (nas)
Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. (kjv)
 Gal 1:10  For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ. (nas)
Gal 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. (kjv)
 Gal 1:11  For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. (nas)
Gal 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. (kjv)
 Gal 1:12  For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. (nas)
Gal 1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: (kjv)
 Gal 1:13  For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it; (nas)
Gal 1:14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. (kjv)
 Gal 1:14 and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions. (nas)
Gal 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, (kjv)
 Gal 1:15  But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother's womb and called me through His grace, was pleased(nas)
Gal 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: (kjv)
 Gal 1:16 to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood, (nas)
Gal 1:17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. (kjv)
 Gal 1:17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus. (nas)
Gal 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. (kjv)
 Gal 1:18  Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days. (nas)
Gal 1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. (kjv)
 Gal 1:19  But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother. (nas)
Gal 1:20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. (kjv)
 Gal 1:20  (Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying. )(nas)
Gal 1:21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; (kjv)
 Gal 1:21  Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. (nas)
Gal 1:22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: (kjv)
 Gal 1:22  I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ; (nas)
Gal 1:23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. (kjv)
 Gal 1:23 but only, they kept hearing, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy."(nas)
Gal 1:24 And they glorified God in me.(kjv)
 Gal 1:24  And they were glorifying God because of me. (nas)
Gal 2:1 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also. (kjv)
 Gal 2:1  Then after an interval of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also. (nas)
Gal 2:2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain. (kjv)
 Gal 2:2  It was because of a revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain. (nas)
Gal 2:3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: (kjv)
 Gal 2:3  But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. (nas)
Gal 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: (kjv)
 Gal 2:4  But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage. (nas)
Gal 2:5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. (kjv)
 Gal 2:5  But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you. (nas)
Gal 2:6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me: (kjv)
 Gal 2:6  But from those who were of high reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)--well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me. (nas)
Gal 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; (kjv)
 Gal 2:7  But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised(nas)
Gal 2:8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) (kjv)
 Gal 2:8 (for He who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles), (nas)
Gal 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. (kjv)
 Gal 2:9 and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. (nas)
Gal 2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do. (kjv)
 Gal 2:10  They only asked us to remember the poor--the very thing I also was eager to do. (nas)
Gal 2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. (kjv)
 Gal 2:11  But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. (nas)
Gal 2:12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. (kjv)
 Gal 2:12  For prior to the coming of certain men from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to withdraw and hold himself aloof, fearing the party of the circumcision. (nas)
Gal 2:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. (kjv)
 Gal 2:13  The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. (nas)
Gal 2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? (kjv)
 Gal 2:14  But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, "If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews? (nas)
Gal 2:15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, (kjv)
 Gal 2:15 "We are Jews by nature and not sinners from among the Gentiles; (nas)
Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. (kjv)
 Gal 2:16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified. (nas)
Gal 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. (kjv)
 Gal 2:17  But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? May it never be! (nas)
Gal 2:18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. (kjv)
 Gal 2:18  For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I prove myself to be a transgressor. (nas)
Gal 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. (kjv)
 Gal 2:19  For through the Law I died to the Law, so that I might live to God. (nas)
Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (kjv)
 Gal 2:20  I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. (nas)
Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.(kjv)
 Gal 2:21  I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly." (nas)
Gal 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? (kjv)
 Gal 3:1  You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? (nas)
Gal 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? (kjv)
 Gal 3:2  This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? (nas)
Gal 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? (kjv)
 Gal 3:3  Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? (nas)
Gal 3:4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. (kjv)
 Gal 3:4  Did you suffer so many things in vain--if indeed it was in vain? (nas)
Gal 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? (kjv)
 Gal 3:5  So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? (nas)
Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. (kjv)
 Gal 3:6  Even so Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. (nas)
Gal 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. (kjv)
 Gal 3:7  Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. (nas)
Gal 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. (kjv)
 Gal 3:8  The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU."(nas)
Gal 3:9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. (kjv)
 Gal 3:9  So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer. (nas)
Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. (kjv)
 Gal 3:10  For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM."(nas)
Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. (kjv)
 Gal 3:11  Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, "THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."(nas)
Gal 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. (kjv)
 Gal 3:12  However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, "HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM."(nas)
Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (kjv)
 Gal 3:13  Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE"--(nas)
Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (kjv)
 Gal 3:14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (nas)
Gal 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. (kjv)
 Gal 3:15  Brethren, I speak in terms of human relations: even though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it. (nas)
Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. (kjv)
 Gal 3:16  Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, "And to seeds," as referring to many, but rather to one, "And to your seed," that is, Christ. (nas)
Gal 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. (kjv)
 Gal 3:17  What I am saying is this: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise. (nas)
Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. (kjv)
 Gal 3:18  For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise. (nas)
Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. (kjv)
 Gal 3:19  Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made. (nas)
Gal 3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. (kjv)
 Gal 3:20  Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one. (nas)
Gal 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. (kjv)
 Gal 3:21  Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law. (nas)
Gal 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. (kjv)
 Gal 3:22  But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. (nas)
Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. (kjv)
 Gal 3:23  But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. (nas)
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. (kjv)
 Gal 3:24  Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. (nas)
Gal 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. (kjv)
 Gal 3:25  But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. (nas)
Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. (kjv)
 Gal 3:26  For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. (nas)
Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (kjv)
 Gal 3:27  For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. (nas)
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. (kjv)
 Gal 3:28  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (nas)
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.(kjv)
 Gal 3:29  And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise. (nas)
Gal 4:1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; (kjv)
 Gal 4:1  Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything, (nas)
Gal 4:2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. (kjv)
 Gal 4:2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father. (nas)
Gal 4:3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: (kjv)
 Gal 4:3  So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world. (nas)
Gal 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, (kjv)
 Gal 4:4  But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, (nas)
Gal 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. (kjv)
 Gal 4:5 so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. (nas)
Gal 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (kjv)
 Gal 4:6  Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"(nas)
Gal 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (kjv)
 Gal 4:7  Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God. (nas)
Gal 4:8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. (kjv)
 Gal 4:8  However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods. (nas)
Gal 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? (kjv)
 Gal 4:9  But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again? (nas)
Gal 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. (kjv)
 Gal 4:10  You observe days and months and seasons and years. (nas)
Gal 4:11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. (kjv)
 Gal 4:11  I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain. (nas)
Gal 4:12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. (kjv)
 Gal 4:12  I beg of you, brethren, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong; (nas)
Gal 4:13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. (kjv)
 Gal 4:13 but you know that it was because of a bodily illness that I preached the gospel to you the first time; (nas)
Gal 4:14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. (kjv)
 Gal 4:14 and that which was a trial to you in my bodily condition you did not despise or loathe, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself. (nas)
Gal 4:15 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. (kjv)
 Gal 4:15  Where then is that sense of blessing you had? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me. (nas)
Gal 4:16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? (kjv)
 Gal 4:16  So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? (nas)
Gal 4:17 They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them. (kjv)
 Gal 4:17  They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them. (nas)
Gal 4:18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you. (kjv)
 Gal 4:18  But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable manner, and not only when I am present with you. (nas)
Gal 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, (kjv)
 Gal 4:19  My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you--(nas)
Gal 4:20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you. (kjv)
 Gal 4:20 but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you. (nas)
Gal 4:21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? (kjv)
 Gal 4:21  Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law? (nas)
Gal 4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. (kjv)
 Gal 4:22  For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman. (nas)
Gal 4:23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. (kjv)
 Gal 4:23  But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise. (nas)
Gal 4:24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. (kjv)
 Gal 4:24  This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants: one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar. (nas)
Gal 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. (kjv)
 Gal 4:25  Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. (nas)
Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. (kjv)
 Gal 4:26  But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother. (nas)
Gal 4:27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. (kjv)
 Gal 4:27  For it is written, "REJOICE, BARREN WOMAN WHO DOES NOT BEAR; BREAK FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR; FOR MORE NUMEROUS ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE DESOLATE THAN OF THE ONE WHO HAS A HUSBAND."(nas)
Gal 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. (kjv)
 Gal 4:28  And you brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise. (nas)
Gal 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. (kjv)
 Gal 4:29  But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also. (nas)
Gal 4:30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. (kjv)
 Gal 4:30  But what does the Scripture say? "CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON, FOR THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE AN HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREE WOMAN."(nas)
Gal 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.(kjv)
 Gal 4:31  So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the free woman. (nas)
Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. (kjv)
 Gal 5:1  It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. (nas)

 Gal 5:2  Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. (nas)
Gal 5:3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. (kjv)
 Gal 5:3  And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. (nas)
Gal 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. (kjv)

Gal 5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. (kjv)

 Gal 5:6  For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. (nas)
Gal 5:7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? (kjv)
 Gal 5:7  You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? (nas)
Gal 5:8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. (kjv)

 Gal 5:10  I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. (nas)
Gal 5:11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. (kjv)
 Gal 5:11  But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished. (nas)
Gal 5:12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you. (kjv)
 Gal 5:12  I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves. (nas)
Gal 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. (kjv)
 Gal 5:13  For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. (nas)
Gal 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (kjv)
 Gal 5:14  For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."(nas)
Gal 5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. (kjv)
 Gal 5:15  But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. (nas)
Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. (kjv)
 Gal 5:16  But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. (nas)
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. (kjv)
 Gal 5:17  For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. (nas)
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. (kjv)
 Gal 5:18  But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. (nas)

 Gal 6:12  Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. (nas)

 Phi 3:8  More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, (nas)
Phi 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: (kjv)

Phi 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. (kjv)
 Phi 3:12  Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. (nas)
Phi 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, (kjv)
 Phi 3:13  Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, (nas)

Jam 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. (kjv)
 Jas 2:17  Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself. (nas)
Jam 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. (kjv)

 Jas 2:24  You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. (nas)
Jam 2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? (kjv)
 Jas 2:25  In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? (nas)

Jam 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! (kjv)
 Jas 3:5  So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! (nas)

 Jas 3:9  With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; (nas)
Jam 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. (kjv)
 Jas 3:10 from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way. (nas)
