3	GEN 1:3	Then God spoke. “Let there be light,” he said. And then the light came out.
9	GEN 1:9	And God spoke again. “Let the water come together in one place,” he said, “so that the earth can appear.” Then the water came together in one place and the earth appeared.
22	GEN 1:22	Then God blessed the sea creatures and the birds. He said to the fish, “Increase and fill the sea,” and to the birds, “Increase!”
273	GEN 11:6	“They are all one people,” he said, “and they speak one language. First they have made this tower, and soon they will be doing other things. They will go on doing more and more things, whatever they want to do.
336	GEN 13:17	Now, go and look over the whole land, because I will give it all to you,” Yahweh said to Abram.
387	GEN 16:5	Sarai said to her husband, “Because she is carrying your child, she has become proud. I myself told you to take her. She has become proud because she is carrying a child. She keeps on speaking unkindly to me. She has been doing it all the time,” Sarai said. “Which one of us is right, you or me? Let Yahweh decide!”
391	GEN 16:9	“Go back to Sarai and work for her, because you belong to her,” Yahweh said to Hagar.
403	GEN 17:5	From today your name will not be Abram but now you will be called Abraham. I am giving you this new name because you will be the ancestor of many nations.” God said that because Abram means “great father,” but Abraham means “father of many people.”
440	GEN 18:15	Sarah heard what Yahweh said from inside the tent. She was afraid, and she said, “I didn't laugh.” “Yes, you did,” Yahweh answered. “You laughed.”
564	GEN 22:16	“Listen to these words of Yahweh,” he said. “Yahweh said, ‘I am making a promise, and I am using my own name so that my promise will be strong and I won't change it. I will bless you because you didn't try to keep your only son for yourself. I am making this promise and it won't change.
610	GEN 24:18	“Here you are, have a drink,” she said. She quickly put down her jar and held it for him while he drank.
616	GEN 24:24	“My father is Bethuel,” she said. “His father is Nahor and his mother is Milcah.
685	GEN 25:26	When the second one was born, he was holding on tightly to the heel of the first. So he was named Jacob, because Jacob means “he is holding the heel.” But when people talk about others and say, “He is holding the heel,” that means, “he is tricking people.” Their father Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
690	GEN 25:31	“Yes, I will give you some,” Jacob answered. “But you must tell me that I am the firstborn and the leader now, and not you.”
736	GEN 27:8	Look, my son,” Rebecca continued, “listen carefully and do everything I tell you.
800	GEN 29:4	Jacob asked the shepherds, “Where do you come from?” “From Haran,” they answered.
802	GEN 29:6	“Is he well?” he asked. “He is well,” they answered. “Look, here comes his daughter Rachel, who looks after his sheep. She is bringing them to drink.”
922	GEN 31:48	Laban said to Jacob, “These rocks are here today so that we will both remember our agreement afterwards,” and that is why Jacob called the place Galeed.
956	GEN 32:28	The man asked, “What is your name?” “I am Jacob,” he answered.
1002	GEN 34:21	“These men are friendly,” they said. “Let them live in our country with us and let them travel freely. This land is big enough for them too. Let us marry their daughters and give them ours for their wives.
1005	GEN 34:24	All the people said, “That would be good,” and all the men circumcised each other.
1093	GEN 37:9	Later Joseph dreamed again, and he told his brothers again. “I have had another dream,” he said. “The sun and the moon and eleven stars all bowed down to me.”
1100	GEN 37:16	“I am looking for my older brothers,” Joseph said. “They are looking after their sheep and goats. If you know where they are, can you tell me?”
1117	GEN 37:33	Jacob looked at it and he recognized Joseph's coat. “Yes, it is his! A wild animal has killed him,” the old man said. “It has torn him to pieces!”
1218	GEN 41:22	“I had another dream,” the king went on. “I saw some corn. I saw seven heads on one stem and they were fat and ripe.
1260	GEN 42:7	When Joseph saw his brothers he recognized them, but they didn't recognize him. He behaved as though he didn't know them and asked angrily, “Where do you come from?” “We have come from Canaan to buy food,” they answered.
1329	GEN 44:4	When they had gone a little way, Joseph spoke to the servant in charge of his house. “Go quickly,” he said. “Run after the men. When you reach them, say to them, ‘What have you done to my master? He was good to you but you have paid back evil to him.
1431	GEN 47:10	Before Jacob left the king, he said again, “May God bless you,” and then he went away.
1436	GEN 47:15	This went on for some time until all the money in Egypt and Canaan was spent. Then the Egyptians came to Joseph and asked for food. “Please give us food,” they said. “Don't let us starve to death. Our money is all gone, so you must help us.”
1471	GEN 48:19	But his father refused. “I know,” he said. “Manasseh will also have many descendants. But his brother will be more important, and his descendants will become great nations.”
1503	GEN 49:29	Then Jacob told his sons what they were to do. “I am going to die soon,” he said. “I will go to my father's people and you must bury me with them. You must put my body in the cave at Machpelah near Mamre in Canaan. You know the cave that is on the land that belonged to Ephron the Hittite. Abraham bought the land and the cave so that he could put his dead people in the cave.
1525	GEN 50:18	Then the brothers came themselves to Joseph and bowed down to him. “We are your workers,” they said.
25154	LUK 4:22	All the people who heard Jesus began talking about him. “He speaks very well,” they said, “but isn't he Joseph's son?”
25184	LUK 5:8	When Simon Peter saw all the fish and that the boats were about to sink, he knelt down in front of Jesus and said, “Go away from me, Lord! I am a sinful man,”
25270	LUK 7:6	Then the elders and many other people set out and Jesus went with them. They went a long way. Then, when they were near the Roman officer's house, some of his friends came to them bringing a message for Jesus. “Stop, Master,” they said. “You needn't come now. The officer told us to come to you. He said, ‘Go and tell Jesus not to come to my house because he is an important man and I am very unimportant.
25290	LUK 7:26	“Tell me,” Jesus said to them. “You were looking for a prophet who tells people God's words, weren't you! Yes, that's it. You were looking for a prophet and you found him. But that prophet is also God's messenger.
25297	LUK 7:33	“That is true,” Jesus said. “A little while ago John the Baptist came here and you saw him all the time. Sometimes he didn't eat. He went without food and worshipped God, and he didn't drink wine. But you saw him and said, ‘This man has an evil spirit.’
25306	LUK 7:42	But they didn't have any money, so they couldn't pay him back. After he had waited a very long time, the man said to them, “It is all right. You needn't pay me back, because you haven't got any money. I will forget about that money.” “So tell me, Simon,” Jesus said to him. “Which of those men only loved him a little and which one loved him very much?”
25307	LUK 7:43	Simon said, “I think the man who was supposed to pay back a lot of money would love him more, because he forgave him a lot more.” “That is right,” said Jesus.
25322	LUK 8:8	But some seeds fell on good ground and began to grow, and then they grew up and produced lots of food. Jesus told the people this story, and then at the end he told them these strong words. “You must think carefully about that story I have told you,” he said. “Don't let it go in one ear and out the other, but keep thinking carefully about it.”
25336	LUK 8:22	One day Jesus and his disciples went to a big freshwater lake and they got into a boat. “Let's go across the lake to the other side,” said Jesus. And they put up the sail and started out.
25352	LUK 8:38	but the man who had been healed came to him and stopped him. “Please let me go with you,” he said. But Jesus sent him home and said,
25372	LUK 9:2	So go now,” he said, “and tell many people about God becoming ruler, and also heal any sick people.
25397	LUK 9:27	“Listen to me, because I am telling you the truth. Some of these people here will not die until they see God becoming ruler over everyone,” Jesus said to all those people.
25405	LUK 9:35	Then they heard a voice speaking from heaven. “This is my Son, the one I have chosen. Listen to him,” the voice said.
25414	LUK 9:44	“Listen carefully to what I am telling you,” he said. “Don't let my words go in one ear and out the other, but keep on thinking about them. I am the one who was born in this place, but some men will get me and take me to the leaders.”
25444	LUK 10:12	“I tell you,” Jesus said, “God will blame those people on the last day. At that time he will decide whether people are good or bad. He will blame the wicked people of Sodom, and they will suffer very much, but he will blame the people who reject your word today much more, and they will suffer much more!”
25469	LUK 10:37	“The man who had pity on the dying man,” he answered. Then Jesus said to him, “You go, then, and do the same.”
25481	LUK 11:7	Then the owner of the house answered from inside his house. “Go away,” he said. “Don't make me get up because my house is locked and the children have gone to sleep. So I can't get up and give you any food.”
25485	LUK 11:11	“But listen to this, you fathers of little children,” Jesus said. “If your son says to you, ‘Father, please give me a fish,’ will you give him a snake that he can't eat? Of course not!
25518	LUK 11:44	“Yes indeed,” said Jesus. “Terrible things will happen to you! What kind of people are you? Let me tell you. You are like a place where they bury dead people. But that place is hidden, so when people go there they tread on it. They don't know that there are rotting bodies underneath. You really are just like that place, because other people don't know your evil minds that you keep hidden.”
25521	LUK 11:47	“Yes indeed,” Jesus said. “Terrible things will happen to you! Long ago your ancestors killed God's prophets. They killed them because they didn't want God's word. And now today you people have built beautiful little buildings on top of the places where the prophets are buried.
25532	LUK 12:4	“I tell you, my friends,” Jesus said, “don't be afraid of people who make trouble for you. Maybe they will kill you. But when they kill your body and you die, there is nothing else they can do to hurt you.
25552	LUK 12:24	“Think of the crows,” Jesus continued. “They don't plant seeds and gather them. They don't have storehouses, but God feeds them. So he will certainly give you your food, because God takes care of the birds and he will take much more care of you people.
25553	LUK 12:25	“Tell me this,” said Jesus. “If you worry about staying alive longer in this world, can worrying about it keep you alive a few more days? Of course not.
25555	LUK 12:27	“Think about the wattle tree that grows in the bush,” said Jesus. “The wattle doesn't work and make clothes for itself. Long ago King Solomon was very rich and he always wore beautiful clothes. His clothes were very beautiful, but the wattle flowers are much more beautiful than that.
25575	LUK 12:47	“And this is another thing,” Jesus said. “One servant knows everything that his master wants him to do, but he doesn't work well for him. So his master will give this bad servant a hard beating.
25599	LUK 13:12	When Jesus saw her, he called her to come to him. “You poor woman,” he said, “I am setting you free from your sickness.”
25601	LUK 13:14	But the ruler of the synagogue was angry, because Jesus had healed the woman on the Sabbath. So he spoke to the people. “We can work for six days,” he said, “but we mustn't do any work today because it is the Sabbath. If you want people to heal you, then don't look for anyone to heal you on the Sabbath but come here during those other days.”
25665	LUK 15:8	“Now listen to another story,” said Jesus. A woman had ten precious coins. But if one got lost, what would the woman do? She will look everywhere for the little coin she has lost. She will light a lamp and sweep her house carefully. She will keep on searching until she finds it.
25688	LUK 15:31	“My son,” his father answered, “you are always here with me and everything I have is yours.
25695	LUK 16:6	“I should give him a hundred bottles of olive oil,” he answered. Then the servant said to him, “No. Take this paper of yours. Now sit down and change this number. Write fifty here, not a hundred. Then you will only have to give him fifty bottles.”
25696	LUK 16:7	Then another man came to the servant. “And you, how much food do you have to give my master?” the servant asked. “I should give him 1,000 bags of wheat,” he answered. The servant said, “No. Take your paper. Don't write 1,000 but 800.”
25754	LUK 17:34	“I tell you,” Jesus continued, “that night, if two people are sleeping in the same bed, the angels will choose one of them and leave the other.
25813	LUK 19:13	Before he went away he called his ten servants and gave each of them some money. “I am going away,” he said. “While I am gone I want you to work for me. I want you to use this money to make more money for me until I come back.” Then he went away.
25826	LUK 19:26	“That doesn't matter,” the king answered. “When I give someone a little work and he does well and finishes it, I will give him more work. And when I give someone a little work and he doesn't finish it, I will tell him to leave that work and I will give that work to another man to do.
25872	LUK 20:24	“Give me a coin,” he said. “Show me, whose face do you see on it? And whose name is this?” They answered, “It is Caesar's.”
25900	LUK 21:5	Some of Jesus' disciples were talking together in the temple. “This is a beautiful building,” they said. “These are wonderful stones. And all the things that people have brought here to make the temple beautiful are very lovely too.” Jesus said,
25903	LUK 21:8	“Be careful,” Jesus said, “and don't let people trick you. Many men will say, ‘We are telling you God's word.’ They will try to trick you and each one will say, ‘Listen to me. I am the Messiah!’ and, ‘Today everything is going to come to an end!’ Don't listen to their lies and follow them.
25968	LUK 22:35	Then Jesus said to his disciples, “When I sent you before to different places, you didn't take any money or things or shoes with you. I sent you empty-handed. But you were all right; you stayed in other people's houses and ate their food, didn't you?” “Yes, we did,” they answered.
26032	LUK 23:28	Jesus turned and spoke to them. “Women of Jerusalem,” he said. “Don't cry for me, but cry for yourselves and for your children.
26079	LUK 24:19	“What news?” Jesus asked. “Surely you know they nailed Jesus of Nazareth on a cross and he died the other day,” they said. “That man was a prophet. The great things that he did and said showed us that God was pleased with him. All the people were pleased with him too.
29793	1TI 2:10	But if they keep busy doing good for other people, that's what will make them beautiful. If they say to each other, “We are Christians and we worship God,” they should do good work. Then they will be beautiful.
29805	1TI 3:7	When people who don't know God see a man leading God's people, they should say, “That man is very good.” But if they say, “He is bad,” then he shouldn't be a leader over God's people because Satan will control him and those people who don't know God will shame him.
29859	1TI 6:4	If they teach lies, they are saying to each other, “I know God,” but they don't know him. They don't know anything. They say to each other, “I am an important person,” and they want to argue about things that aren't true. It is wrong, because they become jealous of one another and say bad words to each other. They think bad things about each other. They don't listen to God's true teaching any more, because they can't think properly. They think, “If I follow God, I will get a lot of money.”
30338	JAS 1:5	Maybe you will say to yourself, “What shall I do? What is the right thing for me to do?” Then you should say to God, “Father, what is right, and what is wrong? I don't know, so please help me to know,” because you don't know by yourself. God won't refuse, he will listen when you pray to him. He will listen to you and he will help you. He won't blame you for not knowing what to do.
30339	JAS 1:6	When you pray to God, you must believe that he will really listen to you and help you. If you say to God, “Please help me,” then don't think to yourself, “God won't help me.” Don't have two minds like that. Some people can't make up their minds. First they trust in God and then later they don't trust in him any longer. Those people are like the waves in the sea. The wind blows the sea this way and that way, and those people are like the sea. God doesn't help people like that to know what is right and what is wrong.
30374	JAS 2:14	Brothers and sisters, if one of you says, “I trust in God all the time,” but you don't obey God, you think God will save you just because of what you said, don't you! No, he won't! God won't save you just because you speak like that.
30380	JAS 2:20	If you say, “I believe in God,” but you don't obey him and you don't love other people, you are tricking yourself. You aren't talking sense.
30386	JAS 2:26	Look! If you say, “I believe in God,” but you speak carelessly, just speaking words with your lips and nothing more than that, then you are just like a dead person. A dead person can't move, he can't do anything good, he can't obey God. And if you don't obey God, you will be the same as a dead person.
30400	JAS 3:14	If you are always thinking about yourself, if you are jealous of other people and always arguing with them, don't be proud, saying, “We are wise,” because that is bad. Maybe you are not wise, maybe you are tricking yourselves.
