'Person' in the Bible

And the men were amazed and said, "What sort of person is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him!"

Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. Whoever receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.

How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

The good person brings good things out of his good treasury, and the evil person brings evil things out of his evil treasury.

"When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it passes through waterless places looking for rest but does not find it.

Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there, so the last state of that person is worse than the first. It will be that way for this evil generation as well!"

The seed sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.

The seed sown among thorns is the person who hears the word, but worldly cares and the seductiveness of wealth choke the word, so it produces nothing.

But as for the seed sown on good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands. He bears fruit, yielding a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown."

He presented them with another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field.

"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure, hidden in a field, that a person found and hid. Then because of joy he went and sold all that he had and bought that field.

What defiles a person is not what goes into the mouth; it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles a person."

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a person.

These are the things that defile a person; it is not eating with unwashed hands that defiles a person."

For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life?

For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.

Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! It is necessary that stumbling blocks come, but woe to the person through whom they come.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven!

Again I say, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God."

But the person who endures to the end will be saved.

There is nothing outside of a person that can defile him by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles him."

He said to them, "Are you so foolish? Don't you understand that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him?

He said, "What comes out of a person defiles him.

All these evils come from within and defile a person."

For what benefit is it for a person to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his life?

What can a person give in exchange for his life?

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God."

John answered them, "The person who has two tunics must share with the person who has none, and the person who has food must do likewise."

To the person who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other as well, and from the person who takes away your coat, do not withhold your tunic either.

Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask for your possessions back from the person who takes them away.

The good person out of the good treasury of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasury produces evil, for his mouth speaks from what fills his heart.

But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against that house, it collapsed immediately, and was utterly destroyed!"

For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?

For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

And if a peace-loving person is there, your peace will remain on him, but if not, it will return to you.

"When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it passes through waterless places looking for rest but not finding any. Then it says, 'I will return to the home I left.'

Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there, so the last state of that person is worse than the first."

And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the person who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

"When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, because a person more distinguished than you may have been invited by your host.

In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God."

Jesus replied, "I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Jesus answered, "I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

Now this is the will of the one who sent me -- that I should not lose one person of every one he has given me, but raise them all up at the last day.

This is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a person may eat from it and not die.

The person who speaks on his own authority desires to receive honor for himself; the one who desires the honor of the one who sent him is a man of integrity, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Jesus replied, "Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me, Philip? The person who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

I tell you the solemn truth, the person who believes in me will perform the miraculous deeds that I am doing, and will perform greater deeds than these, because I am going to the Father.

The person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him."

The person who does not love me does not obey my words. And the word you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision something that is outward in the flesh,

For we consider that a person is declared righteous by faith apart from the works of the law.

(For rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person perhaps someone might possibly dare to die.)

Or do you not know, brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law is lord over a person as long as he lives?

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by God's appointment, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.

So the person who resists such authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment

One person believes in eating everything, but the weak person eats only vegetables.

One person regards one day holier than other days, and another regards them all alike. Each must be fully convinced in his own mind.

But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a Christian who is sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or verbally abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

But God will judge those outside. Remove the evil person from among you.

Flee sexual immorality! "Every sin a person commits is outside of the body" -- but the immoral person sins against his own body.

Nevertheless, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each person, so must he live. I give this sort of direction in all the churches.

For the one who was called in the Lord as a slave is the Lord's freedman. In the same way, the one who was called as a free person is Christ's slave.

Do not seek your own good, but the good of the other person.

A person should examine himself first, and in this way let him eat the bread and drink of the cup.

To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the benefit of all.

For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.

For you are certainly giving thanks well, but the other person is not strengthened.

But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or uninformed person enters, he will be convicted by all, he will be called to account by all.

And if someone sitting down receives a revelation, the person who is speaking should conclude.

If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, he should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord's command.

So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living person"; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Therefore we do not despair, but even if our physical body is wearing away, our inner person is being renewed day by day.

My point is this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously.

Let such a person consider this: What we say by letters when we are absent, we also are in actions when we are present.

For it is not the person who commends himself who is approved, but the person the Lord commends.

But be that as it may, I have not burdened you. Yet because I was a crafty person, I took you in by deceit!

Brothers and sisters, if a person is discovered in some sin, you who are spiritual restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness. Pay close attention to yourselves, so that you are not tempted too.

Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows,

because the person who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.

I pray that according to the wealth of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God -- a mature person, attaining to the measure of Christ's full stature.

For you can be confident of this one thing: that no person who is immoral, impure, or greedy (such a person is an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

because you know that each person, whether slave or free, if he does something good, this will be rewarded by the Lord.

We proclaim him by instructing and teaching all people with all wisdom so that we may present every person mature in Christ.

Let no one who delights in humility and the worship of angels pass judgment on you. That person goes on at great lengths about what he has supposedly seen, but he is puffed up with empty notions by his fleshly mind.

But when we were separated from you, brothers and sisters, for a short time (in presence, not in affection) we became all the more fervent in our great desire to see you in person.

We pray earnestly night and day to see you in person and make up what may be lacking in your faith.
