And will not God give justice and protection to His chosen people who continue to cry to Him day and night, since He is so patient with them?

saying to them, "Go into the village facing you. On entering it you will find an ass's foal tied up which no one has ever yet ridden: untie it, and bring it here.

And he sent Peter and John, saying, "Go [and] prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat [it].

"If you are the Christ," they said, "tell us so." "If I tell you," replied Jesus, "you will not believe me;

Then they said to him, “Who are you? Tell us, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?

Then the Jews were perplexed. They said, “How did this man become learned [so versed in the Scriptures and theology] without formal training?”

They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins [from head to foot], and you [presume to] teach us?” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].

So the Jews surrounded Him and began saying to Him, “How long are You going to keep us in suspense? If You are [really] the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), tell us so plainly and openly.”

Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

And if God is [so] glorified through Him [now], God will [also] glorify the Son in Himself very soon. [Note: Possibly this was a reference to Jesus returning to the Father's presence].

But [this is so] that the word which has been written in their Law would be fulfilled, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’

A woman, when she is in labor, has pain because her time [to give birth] has come; but when she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of her joy that a child has come into the world.

that they all may be one; just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe [without any doubt] that You sent Me.

I in them, and you in me, so that they may be completely one. [This is] so the world will know that you sent me and that you love them just as you love me.

he that relates this, was an eye-witness of it, and his relation is true: and he is so assured, what he says is true, that you may rely upon it.

You talk of some things that sound strange to us; so we want to know what they mean."

This is so, because what can be known about God is plain to them; for God himself has made it plain.

For he is not a Jew who is so outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is outward in flesh;

but he is a Jew who is so inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

In no way: because if it is so, how is God able to be the judge of all the world?

Now we [all] know that everything the law says applies to those who are under [obligation to obey] that law, [Note: Here "the law" appears to refer to the Old Testament Scriptures generally, since Psalms and Isaiah are quoted. See verses 10-18]. This is so that the mouth of every objector may be stopped [i.e., from making excuses for his sin], and thereby bring the entire world under God's judgment [i.e., both Jews and Gentiles].

We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old letter of the law.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Then Isaiah is very bold and says,

“I have been found by those who did not seek Me;
I have shown Myself to those who did not [consciously] ask for Me.”

The rest grew callous; as Scripture says--'God has given them a deadness of mind--eyes that are not to see and ears that are not to hear--and it is so to this very day.'

So, I urge you, brothers, because God is so merciful [to us], to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, [fully] dedicated and very pleasing to God. For this is a reasonable [or spiritual] way for you to worship [or serve] Him.

We have different gifts based on the grace that was given to us. So if your gift is prophecy, use your gift in proportion to your faith.

for one makes no difficulty of eating all sorts of food: another is so scrupulous, he lives upon herbs.

For everything that was written long ago was written to instruct us, so that we might have hope through the endurance and encouragement that the Scriptures give us.

It is so, because God's nonsense is wiser than men's wisdom, and God's weakness is mightier than men's might.

the character of each one's work will come to light, for the judgment day will show it up. This is so, because that day will show itself in fire, and the fire will test the character of each one's work.

But because there is so much fornication every man should have a wife of his own, and every woman should have a husband.

If a man thinks he is not behaving properly toward his virgin, and if his passion is so strong that he feels he ought to marry her, let him do what he wants; he isn't sinning. Let them get married.

Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? It was written for us, so that he who plows should plow in hope, and so that he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope.

Now these [things] happened [as] examples for us, so that we should not be desirers of evil [things], just as those also desired [them],

Love is so patient and so kind; love never boils with jealousy; it never boasts, is never puffed with pride;

Yes, we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn't raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.

And if that is so, your faith is of no effect; you are still in your sins.

It is so with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in decay, it is raised free from decay.

As Man the material is, so are the material; as Man the heavenly is, so are the heavenly.

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

Indeed we felt as if the sentence of death had been passed against us, so that we would not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead.

while you join in helping us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gift that came to us through the prayers of many.

by the one my preaching is taken as a deadly poison, to the other it is a reviving potion. and who is so sufficient for such a commission?

For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

If the meaning of my preaching of the good news is veiled at all, it is so only in the case of those who are on the way to destruction.

We are not commending ourselves to you again, but are giving you an occasion to be [rightfully] proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in [outward] appearances [the virtues they pretend to have] rather than what is [actually] in heart.

Now then are we messengers in the room of Christ: even as though God did beseech you through us. So pray we you, in Christ's stead, that ye be at one with God:

He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

O Corinthians, my heart is so full, my tongue cannot be silent:

And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way.

for he has responded to my appeal, but he goes to you really of his own accord, he is so devoted to you.

I appeal to you personally, by the gentleness and forbearance of Christ??he Paul who is so humble when face to face with you, but so bold in dealing with you when he is far away!

You are looking at things according to appearance. If anyone is convinced he himself is Christ's, he should consider this concerning himself again: that just as Christ himself [is], so also [are] we.

We will not boast about what cannot be evaluated. Instead, we will stay within the field that God assigned us, so as to reach even you.

[This is] so we can proclaim the good news [about Christ] even to areas beyond you [Note: Perhaps Paul here alludes to such places as Italy and Spain], and [thereby] not boast over what has [already] been done in someone else's field of service.

As so many are boasting of earthly things, I, too, will boast.

You are wise, so you will gladly be tolerant of fools.

still we know that a person is not justified [i.e., made right with God] by [perfect obedience to] the law of Moses, but rather through faith in [the person and work of] Christ. [Knowing this] we have trusted in Christ Jesus [to save us], so that we might be made right with God by trusting in Him and not by [our compliance with] the requirements of the law of Moses. Because by such law-compliance no one can be made right with God.

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.

This is the freedom with which Christ has freed us. So stand firm in it, and do not get under a yoke of slavery again.

Howbeit, let him who is being orally instructed in the word, have fellowship with him that is so instructing him, in all good things.

And as with us so with you. You were dead in the trespasses and sins

But God is so rich in mercy that because of the great love he had for us,

For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.

if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;

This is so God’s multi-faceted wisdom may now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavens.

Do not over-indulge in wine--a thing in which excess is so easy--

[This is] so He could present the church to Himself in all her splendor, without any kind of stain or wrinkle, but that she should be holy and without [moral] flaw.

Yes, I am confident that this is so, and therefore I am sure that I shall stay, and stay near you all, to promote your progress and joy in the Faith;

For I have no man that is so like minded to me, which with so pure affection careth for your matters.

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

Therefore let us, so many as are perfect, think the same thing: and if you think otherwise in any respect, God will also reveal this to you:

Since His power is so glorious, may you be strengthened with strength of every kind, and be prepared for cheerfully enduring all things with patience and long-suffering;

It is so because it was the divine choice that all the divine fullness should dwell in Him,

if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

Because the Good News that we brought came home to you, not merely as so many words, but with a power and a fulness of conviction due to the Holy Spirit. For you know the life that we lived among you for your good.

but even as we have been approved of God to have the glad tidings entrusted to us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who proves our hearts.

you are witnesses, and God is so too, how holy, how just and irreproachable our behaviour was to you, who believe.

for you yourselves know well, that the day of the Lord is so coming like a thief in the night.

who died [willingly] for us, so that whether we are awake (alive) or asleep (dead) [at Christ’s appearing], we will live together with Him [sharing eternal life].

And you know what restrains him now [from being revealed]; it is so that he will be revealed at his own [appointed] time.

And this is the reason that God sends them a strong delusion [to influence them]: It is so that they would believe the lie,

Finally, brothers, pray for us, so that the Lord's message will spread quickly and be honored [by people], even as it was among you.

The reason I am reminding you [of these things] is so that you will rekindle the gift from God, which is in your life through the laying on my hands. [Note: This "gift" was probably his ordination to serve as an evangelist (See 4:1-5), and in addition, may have included a supernatural "spiritual gift" bestowed by the apostle Paul].

Training us so that, turning away from evil and the desires of this world, we may be living wisely and uprightly in the knowledge of God in this present life;

Who gave himself for us, so that he might make us free from all wrongdoing, and make for himself a people clean in heart and on fire with good works.

He is so much superiour to the angels, as the authority he possesses is more excellent than theirs.

how can we escape, if we pay no attention at all to a salvation that is so great? This is so because it was first proclaimed by the Lord Himself, and then it was proved to us to be valid by the very men who heard Him themselves,

because God had us in mind and had something better for us, so that they [these men and women of authentic faith] would not be made perfect [that is, completed in Him] apart from us.

Therefore, indeed, seeing that, we also, have encircling us, so great a cloud of witnesses, stripping off every incumbrance and the easily entangling sin, with endurance, let us be running, the race that is lying before us,

you your selves are as so many living stones, you are the edifice, the spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, agreeable to God by Jesus Christ.

but in the internal qualities of the mind, in that purity, in that mild and dispassionate temper, which is so acceptable to the divine being.

For it is better, if the will of God is so, that ye suffer for well-doing, than for evil-doing.

If someone's gift is speaking, he should [be sure to] say only what God wants him to. If a person's gift is serving, he should do so by the strength provided by God [who supplies all such gifts]. This is so that, in using all gifts, God may be honored through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs honor and power forever and ever. May it be so.

Because of which, the precious and greatest promises have been given to us, so that through these ye might become companions of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in lust.

Since all this is so, the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from temptation, and on the other hand how to keep the unrighteous under punishment in readiness for the Day of Judgement,

If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
