'Word' in the Bible

Of which God had given word before by his prophets in the holy Writings,

Because by them the true word of God was changed into that which is false, and they gave worship and honour to the thing which is made, and not to him who made it, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

For God's word, that the earth would be his heritage, was given to Abraham, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

For if they who are of the law are the people who get the heritage, then faith is made of no use, and the word of God has no power;

For this reason it is of faith, so that it may be through grace; and so that the word of God may be certain to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

And being certain that God was able to keep his word.

Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

But it is not as if the word of God was without effect. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel:

For this is the word of God's undertaking, At this time will I come, and Sarah will have a son.

For the Lord will give effect to his word on the earth, putting an end to it and cutting it short.

But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart: that is, the word of faith of which we are the preachers:

But they have not all given ear to the good news. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has had faith in our word?

So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

But I say, Did not the word come to their ears? Yes, certainly: Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

But about Israel he says; All the day my hands have been stretched out to a people whose hearts were turned away, and who put themselves against my word.

And this, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not put to death, Do not take what is another's, Do not have desire for what is another's, and if there is any other order, it is covered by this word, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act,

It is my desire to say a good word for Phoebe, who is a servant of the church in Cenchreae:

And say a kind word to the church which is in their house. Give my love to my dear Epaenetus, who is the first fruit of Asia to Christ.

Give my love to Apelles, who has the approval of Christ. Say a kind word to those who are of the house of Aristobulus.

Give my love to Herodion, my relation. Say a kind word to those of the house of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.
