You are the salt of the earth. But if salt becomes insipid, what can make it salt again? After that it is fit for nothing, fit only to be thrown outside and trodden by the feet of men.

For if you love only those who love you, what reward do you get for that? do not the very taxgatherers do as much?

and if you only salute your friends, what is special about that? do not the very pagans do as much?

A leper came up and knelt before him, saying, "If you only choose, sir, you can cleanse me";

The captain answered, "Sir, I am not fit to have you under my roof; only say the word, and my servant will be cured.

what she said to herself was this, "If I can only touch his robe, I will recover."

how he went into the house of God, and there they ate the loaves of the Presence which neither he nor his men were allowed to eat, but only the priests?

But when the Pharisees heard of it they said, "This fellow only casts out daemons by Beelzebul the prince of daemons."

They said, "We have only five loaves with us and two fish."

He replied, "It was only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel that I was sent."

He said to them, "True, but this truth is not practicable for everyone, it is only for those who have the gift.

'These last,' they said, 'have only worked a single hour, and yet you have ranked them equal to us who have borne the brunt of the day's work and the heat!'

Jesus answered, "I tell you truly, if you have faith, if you have no doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree but even if you say to this hill, 'Take and throw yourself into the sea,' it will be done.

Now no one knows anything about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, but only my Father.

"Only," they said, "it must not be during the festival, in case of a riot among the people."

Only, how could the scriptures be fulfilled then ??the scriptures that say this must be so?"

A leper came to him beseeching him on bended knee, saying, "If you only choose, you can cleanse me;"

Instantly Jesus ignored the remark and told the president, "Have no fear, only believe."

They had forgotten to bring any bread, and had only one loaf with them in the boat.

Now no one knows anything about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, not even the Son, but only the Father.

"Only," they said, "it must not be during the festival; that would mean a popular riot."

one young man did follow him, with only a linen sheet thrown round his body, but when the [young] men seized him

yet Elijah was not sent to any of these, but only to a widow woman at Zarephath in Sidon.

And in Israel there were many lepers in the time of the prophet Elisha, yet none of these was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian."

When he was in one of their towns, there was a man full of leprosy who, on seeing Jesus, fell on his face and besought him, "If you only choose, sir, you can cleanse me."

If you love only those who love you, what credit is that to you? Why, even sinful men love those who love them.

If you help only those who help you, what merit is that to you? Why, even sinful men do that.

If you only lend to those from whom you hope to get something, what credit is that to you? Even sinful men lend to one another, so as to get a fair return.

Just as he was near the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out; he was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the town were with her.

for he had an only daughter about twelve years old and she was dying. As Jesus went the crowds kept crushing him,

But when Jesus heard it he said to him, "Have no fear, only believe and she shall get well."

He said to them, "Give them some food yourselves." They said, "We have only got five loaves and two fish. Unless ??are we to go and buy food for the whole of this people?"

"Teacher," shouted a man from the crowd, "look at my son, I beg of you, for he is my only boy,

Only, do not rejoice because the spirits obey you: rejoice because your names are enrolled in heaven."

only seek his Realm, and it will be yours over and above.

A man said to him, "Is it only a few, sir, who are saved?" So he said to them,

I don't deserve to be called your son any more; only make me like one of your hired men."'

'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone only goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'

Well, it is the same with you; when you have done all you are bidden, say, 'We are but servants; we have only done our duty.' "

Then rising from prayer he went to the disciples, only to find them asleep from sheer sorrow.

So the Logos became flesh and tarried among us; we have seen his glory ??glory such as an only son enjoys from his father ??seen it to be full of grace and reality.

Nobody has ever seen God, but God has been unfolded by the divine One, the only Son, who lies upon the Father's breast.

I myself did not recognize him; I only came to baptize with water, in order that he might be disclosed to Israel."

And yet the Son of man, descended from heaven, is the only one who has ever ascended into heaven.

For God loved the world so dearly that he gave up his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life, instead of perishing.

He who believes in him is not sentenced; he who will not believe is sentenced already, for having refused to believe in the name of the only Son of God.

But this only made the Jews more eager to kill him, because he not merely broke the sabbath but actually spoke of God as his own Father, thereby making himself equal to God.

(though I accept no testimony from man ??I only speak of this testimony, that you may be saved);

How can you believe, you who accept credit from one another instead of aiming at the credit which comes from the only God?

Next day the crowd which had been left standing on the other side of the sea bethought them that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not gone aboard with his disciples, who had left by themselves.

Not that anyone has seen the Father ??he only, who is from God, he has seen the Father.

Jesus answered them, "I have only performed one deed, and yet you are all amazed at it.

So the man born blind was summoned a second time, and told, "Now give God the praise; this man, we know quite well, is only a sinner."

The thief only comes to steal, to slay, and to destroy: I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.

"Rabbi," said the disciples, "the Jews were trying to stone you only the other day; are you going back there?"

& 31] Now as Bethany is not far from Jerusalem, only about two miles away,

"Did I not tell you," said Jesus, "if you will only believe, you shall see the glory of God?"

Now the great mass of the Jews learned he was there, and they came not only on account of Jesus but to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

"Lord," said Simon Peter, "then wash not only my feet but my hands and head."

Jesus said, "He who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed; he is clean all over. And you are clean ??but not all of you"

My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer; then you will look for me, and, as I told the Jews I tell you now, where I go you cannot come.

his coming will only serve to let the world see that I love the Father and that I am acting as the Father ordered. Rise, let us be going."

And this is eternal life, that they know thee, the only real God, and him whom thou hast sent, even Jesus Christ.

When I was with them, I kept them by the power of thy Name which thou hast given me; I guarded them, and not one of them perished ??only the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

only, one of the soldiers pricked his side with a lance, and out came blood and water in a moment.

Then Simon Peter came after him, and went inside the tomb; he noticed not only that the bandages were lying on the ground

while the rest of the disciples came ashore in the punt (they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards), dragging their netful of fish.

Then they made their way back to Jerusalem from the hill called 'The Olive-Orchard'; it is close to Jerusalem, only a sabbath day's journey from it.

these men are not drunk, as you imagine. Why, it is only nine in the morning!

appropriated some of the purchase-money with the connivance of his wife; he only brought part of it to lay before the feet of the apostles.

"Tell me," said Peter, "did you only sell the land for such and such a sum?" "Yes," she said, "that was all we sold it for."

but Peter raised him, saying, "Get up, I am only a man myself."

You also see and hear that not only at Ephesus but almost all over Asia this fellow Paul has drawn off a considerable number of people by his persuasions. He declares that hand-made gods are not gods at all.

Now the danger is not only that we will have our trade discredited but that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will fall into contempt and that she will be degraded from her majestic glory, she whom all Asia and the wide world worship."

Only, I know this, that in town after town the holy Spirit testifies to me that bonds and troubles are awaiting me.

Then Paul replied, "What do you mean by weeping and disheartening me? I am ready not only to be bound but also to die at Jerusalem for the sake of the Lord Jesus."

Only, I have nothing definite to write to the sovereign about him. So I have brought him up before you all, and especially before you, O king Agrippa, in order that I may have something to write as the result of your cross-examination.

"Long or short," said Paul, "I would to God that not only you but all my hearers to-day could be what I am ??barring these chains!"

"Men," said he, "I see this voyage is going to be attended with hardship and serious loss not only to the cargo and the ship but also to our own lives."

I now bid you cheer up. There will be no loss of life, only of the ship.

It was only after our escape that we found out the island was called Malta.

We think it only right to let you tell your own story; but as regards this sect, we are well aware that there are objections to it on all hands."

though they know God's decree that people who practise such vice deserve death, they not only do it themselves but applaud those who practise it.

Or is God only the God of Jews? Is he not the God of the Gentiles as well? Surely he is.

He only got circumcision as a sign or seal of the righteousness which belonged to his faith as an uncircumcised man. The object of this was to make him the father of all who believe as uncircumcised persons and thus have righteousness counted to them,

as well as a father of those circumcised persons who not only share circumcision but walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had as an uncircumcised man.

Not only so, but we triumph even in our troubles, knowing that trouble produces endurance,

Not only so, but we triumph in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we now enjoy our reconciliation.

Surely you know, my brothers ??for I am speaking to men who know what law means ??that the law has hold over a person only during his lifetime!

and not only so, but even we ourselves, who have the Spirit as a foretaste of the future, even we sigh to ourselves as we wait for the redemption of the body that means our full sonship.

And Isaiah exclaims, with regard to Israel, Though the number of the sons of Israel be like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them shall be saved;

I can vouch for their zeal for God; only, it is not zeal with knowledge.

To prevent you from being self-conceited, brothers, I would like you to understand this secret: it is only a partial insensibility that has come over Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles come in.

You must be obedient, therefore, not only to avoid the divine vengeance but as a matter of conscience,

While one man has enough confidence to eat any food, the man of weak faith only eats vegetables.

I know, I am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is in itself unclean; only, anything is unclean for a man who considers it unclean.

by the force of miracles and marvels, by the power of the Spirit of God. Thus from Jerusalem right round to Illyricum, I have been able to complete the preaching of the gospel of Christ ??20 my ambition always being to preach it only in places where there had been no mention of Christ's name, that I might not build on foundations laid by others,

who have risked their lives for me; I thank them, and not only I but all the Gentile churches as well.

has now been disclosed and made known on the basis of the prophetic scriptures (by command of the eternal God) to all the Gentiles for their obedience to the faith ??27 to the only wise God be glory through Jesus Christ for ever and ever: Amen.]
