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:

Now he that supplies seed to the sower and bread for eating shall supply and make abundant your sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

You will grow rich in every way, so that through me you can show perfect liberality that will make men thank God for it.

For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many givings of thanks to God;

This service shows what you are, it makes men praise God for the way you have come under the gospel of Christ which you confess, and for the generosity of your contributions to themselves and to all;

Now I, Paul, make a personal appeal to you by the gentleness and graciousness of Christ—I who am humble among you in person but bold toward you when absent.

I beseech you not to compel me when present to make a bold display of the confidence with which I reckon I shall show my 'courage' against some who reckon that we are guided by worldly principles.

I do live in the flesh, but I do not make war as the flesh does;

the weapons of my warfare are not weapons of the flesh, but divinely strong to demolish fortresses ??5 I demolish theories and any rampart thrown up to resist the knowledge of God, I take every project prisoner to make it obey Christ,

and every arrogant obstacle that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it obey Christ.

and I am prepar'd, when you have discharg'd your duty, to make examples of the rest for their disobedience.

This say I, lest I should seem as though I went about to make you afraid with letters.

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.

For we have no need to make ourselves seem more than we are, as if our authority did not come as far as to you: for we came even as far as you with the good news of Christ:

'Let him who boasts make his boast of the Lord.'

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy. For I coupled you to one man, to make you a chaste virgin to Christ:

I am no speaker, perhaps, but knowledge I do possess; I never failed to make myself intelligible to you.

Or did I [perhaps] sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted and honored, because I preached God’s gospel to you free of charge?

And, being present with you, and having come short, I was not burdensome to anyone, - for, my deficiency, the brethren, coming from Macedonia, helped to make up; - and, in everything, without burden unto you, I kept, myself - and will keep!

By the truth of Christ within me, I am going to make this my pride and boast unchecked throughout the regions of Achaia!

No, I intend to go on as I am doing, in order to checkmate those who would fain make out that in the apostolate of which they boast they work on the same terms as I do.

So it is no great thing if his servants make themselves seem to be servants of righteousness; whose end will be the reward of their works.

To return to what I was saying. Let no one suppose that I am foolish. Or if you must, at any rate make allowance for me as being foolish, in order that I, as well as they, may boast a little.

For you tolerate it if anyone makes you his slave; or devours you and your possessions; or takes advantage of you; or acts presumptuously; or hits you in the face.

(If I did care to boast of other things, I would be no 'fool,' for I would have a true tale to tell; however, I abstain from that ??I want no one to take me for more than he can see in me or make out from me.)

three times over I prayed the Lord to make it leave me,

It makes me satisfied, for Christ's sake, with weakness, insults, trouble, persecution, and calamity; for I am strong just when I am weak.

Where were you inferior to the rest of the churches? ??unless in this, that your apostle did not choose to make himself a burden to you. Pray pardon me this terrible wrong!

This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children.

Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?

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?

lest having come again my God will make me low toward you, and I will bewail many of those who have sinned previously, and who did not repent from the trash and fornication and licentiousness that they committed.

Make a test of yourselves, if you are in the faith; make certain of yourselves. Or are you not conscious in yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are truly Christ's?

For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.

Who gave himself for our sins, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father:

Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.

For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.

You have heard of my career and former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to hunt down and persecute the church of God extensively and [with fanatical zeal] tried [my best] to destroy it.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;

I went up [to Jerusalem] because of a [divine] revelation, and I put before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles. But I did so in private before those of reputation, for fear that I might be running or had run [the course of my ministry] in vain.

And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;

But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;

As soon as I saw that they were not walking uprightly in the spirit of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, "If you, though you are a Jew, live as a Gentile does, and not as a Jew, how can you make the Gentiles follow Jewish customs?

But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ [by faith], we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ an advocate or promoter of our sin? Certainly not!

For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.

Are you so thoughtless? After having begun in Spirit, do you make an end in flesh?

And the scripture having foreseen that God makes the Gentiles righteous from faith, proclaimed the good-news in advance to Abraham: In thee all the nations will be blessed.

Brethren, as a man I say it, even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to,

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.

Why, then, the Law [what was its purpose]? It was added [after the promise to Abraham, to reveal to people their guilt] because of transgressions [that is, to make people conscious of the sinfulness of sin], and [the Law] was ordained through angels and delivered to Israel by the hand of a mediator [Moses, the mediator between God and Israel, to be in effect] until the Seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law.

That he might make them free who were under the law, and that we might be given the place of sons.

You make me fear that the labor which I have spent on you may have been wasted.

These men make much of you ??yes, but for dishonest ends; they want to debar you from us, so that you may make much of them.

In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free -- stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude;

A little leaven makes a change in all the mass.

I wish they were even cut off from your communion, that make such disturbance amongst you.

Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.

But let every man make test of his work, and then will his cause for glory be in himself only, and not in his neighbour.

Make no mistake ??God is not to be mocked ??a man will reap just what he sows;

See what big letters I make as I write to you with my own hand!

As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

Let no one make any more trouble for me, because I carry the scars of Jesus on my own body.

to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,

in doing what He intended through Christ, to make known to us His secret plan, according to what pleased Him.

In view of that Divine Order which was to mark the completion of the ages, when he should make everything, both in Heaven and on earth, center in him.

to make us redound to the praise of his glory by being the first to put our hope in Christ.

For this cause I, having had news of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and which you make clear to all the saints,

offer never ceasing thanks on your behalf while I make mention of you in my prayers.

which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers].

And you did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,

even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,)

That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:

for we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good deeds, which God predestined us to make our daily way of life.

for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle wall of the enclosure did break down,

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

This it is that makes me Paul a prisoner for Jesus Christ upon your account, O Gentiles;

"that the Gentiles should be heirs as well as the Jews, make one body together, and partake of the divine promise in Christ by the gospel."

To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, so that I might make clear to the Gentiles the good news of the unending wealth of Christ:

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

So I ask that what I am having to suffer for your sake may not make me lose heart, for it does you honor.

That in the wealth of his glory he would make you strong with power through his Spirit in your hearts;

so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love,

I then, the prisoner in the Lord, make this request from my heart, that you will see that your behaviour is a credit to the position which God's purpose has given you,

Make every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit through the tie of peace.

He who went down is the same who went up far over all the heavens so that he might make all things complete.)

from whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and united, through the supply of every joint, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body doth make for the building up of itself in love.

and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption.

you must make sure what pleases the Lord.

And have no company with the works of the dark, which give no fruit, but make their true quality clear;

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

For this reason He says,

“Awake, sleeper,
And arise from the dead,
And Christ will shine [as dawn] upon you and give you light.”

make the very most of your time, for these are evil days.

Then you will recite to one another psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; you will sing and make music to the Lord with your hearts;

to make her holy, cleansing her with the washing of water by the word.

to make it unto himself a glorious congregation without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame.

"You must honor your father and mother" -- this is the first commandment, with a promise to make it good

And fathers, do not make your children angry, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

So take God's armour, that you may be able to make a stand upon the evil day and hold your ground by overcoming all the foe.
