| Matt.16.18 |
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church,
and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.
|
| Matt.18.17 |
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he
refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile
and a tax collector.
|
| Acts.5.11 |
And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who heard of
these things.
|
| Acts.8.1 |
And Saul was consenting to his death.
And on that day a great persecution arose against the church in
Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the region of Judea
and Samaria, except the apostles.
|
| Acts.8.3 |
But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he
dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.
|
| Acts.9.31 |
So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace
and was built up; and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the
comfort of the Holy Spirit it was multiplied.
|
| Acts.11.22 |
News of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent
Barnabas to Antioch.
|
| Acts.11.26 |
and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year
they met with the church, and taught a large company of people; and in
Antioch the disciples were for the first time called Christians.
|
| Acts.12.1 |
About that time Herod the king laid violent hands upon some who
belonged to the church.
|
| Acts.12.5 |
So Peter was kept in prison; but earnest prayer for him was made to God
by the church.
|
| Acts.13.1 |
Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers,
Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Mana-en a
member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
|
| Acts.14.23 |
And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with
prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they
believed.
|
| Acts.14.27 |
And when they arrived, they gathered the church together and declared
all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith
to the Gentiles.
|
| Acts.15.3 |
So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both
Phoenicia and Samaria, reporting the conversion of the Gentiles, and
they gave great joy to all the brethren.
|
| Acts.15.4 |
When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the
apostles and the elders, and they declared all that God had done with
them.
|
| Acts.15.22 |
Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole
church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with
Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas,
leading men among the brethren,
|
| Acts.15.41 |
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
|
| Acts.16.5 |
So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in
numbers daily.
|
| Acts.18.22 |
When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church,
and then went down to Antioch.
|
| Acts.20.17 |
And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to him the elders of
the church.
|
| Acts.20.28 |
Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit
has made you overseers, to care for the church of God which he obtained
with the blood of his own Son.
|
| Rom.16.1 |
I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deaconess of the church at
Cenchreae,
|
| Rom.16.4 |
who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I but also all the
churches of the Gentiles give thanks;
|
| Rom.16.5 |
greet also the church in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who
was the first convert in Asia for Christ.
|
| Rom.16.16 |
Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet
you.
|
| Rom.16.23 |
Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you.
Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.
|
| 1Cor.1.2 |
To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in
Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every
place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and
ours:
|
| 1Cor.4.17 |
Therefore I sent to you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the
Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in
every church.
|
| 1Cor.5.12 |
For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside
the church whom you are to judge?
|
| 1Cor.6.4 |
If then you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who are
least esteemed by the church?
|
| 1Cor.7.17 |
Only, let every one lead the life which the Lord has assigned to him,
and in which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches.
|
| 1Cor.10.32 |
Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God,
|
| 1Cor.11.16 |
If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other
practice, nor do the churches of God.
|
| 1Cor.11.18 |
For, in the first place, when you assemble as a church, I hear that
there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it,
|
| 1Cor.11.22 |
What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the
church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to
you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.
|
| 1Cor.12.28 |
And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets,
third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers,
administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues.
|
| 1Cor.14.4 |
He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies
edifies the church.
|
| 1Cor.14.5 |
Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. He
who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless some
one interprets, so that the church may be edified.
|
| 1Cor.14.12 |
So with yourselves; since you are eager for manifestations of the
Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church.
|
| 1Cor.14.19 |
nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind,
in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
|
| 1Cor.14.23 |
If, therefore, the whole church assembles and all speak in tongues, and
outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?
|
| 1Cor.14.28 |
But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silence in
church and speak to himself and to God.
|
| 1Cor.14.33 |
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.
As in all the churches of the saints,
|
| 1Cor.14.34 |
the women should keep silence in the churches. For they are not
permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says.
|
| 1Cor.14.35 |
If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands
at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
|
| 1Cor.15.9 |
For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle,
because I persecuted the church of God.
|
| 1Cor.16.1 |
Now concerning the contribution for the saints: as I directed the
churches of Galatia, so you also are to do.
|
| 1Cor.16.19 |
The churches of Asia send greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together
with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord.
|
| 2Cor.1.1 |
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our
brother.
To the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are
in the whole of Achaia:
|
| 2Cor.8.1 |
We want you to know, brethren, about the grace of God which has been
shown in the churches of Macedonia,
|
| 2Cor.8.18 |
With him we are sending the brother who is famous among all the
churches for his preaching of the gospel;
|
| 2Cor.8.19 |
and not only that, but he has been appointed by the churches to travel
with us in this gracious work which we are carrying on, for the glory
of the Lord and to show our good will.
|
| 2Cor.8.23 |
As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker in your service; and
as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of
Christ.
|
| 2Cor.8.24 |
So give proof, before the churches, of your love and of our boasting
about you to these men.
|
| 2Cor.11.8 |
I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to
serve you.
|
| 2Cor.11.28 |
And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure upon me of my
anxiety for all the churches.
|
| 2Cor.12.13 |
For in what were you less favored than the rest of the churches, except
that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong!
|
| Gal.1.2 |
and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:
|
| Gal.1.13 |
For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the
church of God violently and tried to destroy it;
|
| Gal.1.22 |
And I was still not known by sight to the churches of Christ in Judea;
|
| Eph.1.22 |
and he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over
all things for the church,
|
| Eph.3.10 |
that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made
known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.
|
| Eph.3.21 |
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations,
for ever and ever. Amen.
|
| Eph.5.23 |
For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the
church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
|
| Eph.5.24 |
As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in
everything to their husbands.
|
| Eph.5.25 |
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself
up for her,
|
| Eph.5.27 |
that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot
or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without
blemish.
|
| Eph.5.29 |
For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as
Christ does the church,
|
| Eph.5.32 |
This mystery is a profound one, and I am saying that it refers to
Christ and the church;
|
| Phil.3.6 |
as to zeal a persecutor of the church, as to righteousness under the
law blameless.
|
| Phil.4.15 |
And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the
gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with
me in giving and receiving except you only;
|
| Col.1.18 |
He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the
first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
|
| Col.1.24 |
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I
complete what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his
body, that is, the church,
|
| Col.4.15 |
Give my greetings to the brethren at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the
church in her house.
|
| Col.4.16 |
And when this letter has been read among you, have it read also in the
church of the Laodiceans; and see that you read also the letter from
Laodicea.
|
| 1Thess.1.1 |
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in
God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace to you and peace.
|
| 1Thess.2.14 |
For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ
Jesus which are in Judea; for you suffered the same things from your
own countrymen as they did from the Jews,
|
| 2Thess.1.1 |
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in
God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
|
| 2Thess.1.4 |
Therefore we ourselves boast of you in the churches of God for your
steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions
which you are enduring.
|
| 1Tim.3.5 |
for if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how can he
care for God's church?
|
| 1Tim.3.15 |
if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household
of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark
of the truth.
|
| 1Tim.5.16 |
If any believing woman has relatives who are widows, let her assist
them; let the church not be burdened, so that it may assist those who
are real widows.
|
| Phlm.1.2 |
and Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier, and the
church in your house:
|
| Jas.13.14 |
Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and
let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;
|
| 3John.1.6 |
who have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to
send them on their journey as befits God's service.
|
| 3John.1.9 |
I have written something to the church; but Diotrephes, who likes to
put himself first, does not acknowledge my authority.
|
| 3John.1.10 |
So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, prating against me with
evil words. And not content with that, he refuses himself to welcome
the brethren, and also stops those who want to welcome them and puts
them out of the church.
|
| Rev.1.4 |
John to the seven churches that are in Asia:
Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to
come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,
|
| Rev.1.11 |
saying, "Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven
churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira
and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea."
|

To him who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will
give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone which no
one knows except him who receives it.'
|
| Rev.2.18 |
"And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: `The words of the
Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like
burnished bronze.
|
| Rev.2.23 |
and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches shall know
that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of
you as your works deserve.
|
| Rev.2.29 |
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'

"And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: `The words of him
who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.
"`I know your works; you have the name of being alive, and you are
dead.
|

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'
|
| Rev.3.7 |

the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no
one shall shut, who shuts and no one opens.
|
| Rev.3.13 |
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'
|
| Rev.3.14 |

the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's
creation.

|
| Rev.22.16 |
"I Jesus have sent my angel to you with this testimony for the
churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning
star."
