'God' in the Bible

I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to the exactness of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, as ye are all this day;

And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen thee beforehand to know his will, and to see the just one, and to hear a voice out of his mouth;

And Paul, fixing his eyes on the council, said, Brethren, I have walked in all good conscience with God unto this day.

Then Paul said to him, God will smite thee, whited wall. And thou, dost thou sit judging me according to the law, and breaking the law commandest me to be smitten?

And those that stood by said, Dost thou rail against the high priest of God?

But this I avow to thee, that in the way which they call sect, so I serve my fathers' God, believing all things which are written throughout the law, and in the prophets;

having hope towards God, which they themselves also receive, that there is to be a resurrection both of just and unjust.

For this cause I also exercise myself to have in everything a conscience without offence towards God and men.

And now I stand to be judged because of the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,

Why should it be judged a thing incredible in your sight if God raises the dead?

to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.

but have, first to those both in Damascus and Jerusalem, and to all the region of Judaea, and to the nations, announced that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

Having therefore met with the help which is from God, I have stood firm unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing else than those things which both the prophets and Moses have said should happen,

And Paul said, I would to God, both in little and in much, that not only thou, but all who have heard me this day, should become such as I also am, except these bonds.

For an angel of the God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night,

saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to thee all those that sail with thee.

Wherefore be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.

And, having said these things and taken a loaf, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken it began to eat.

But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down suddenly dead. But when they had expected a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, changing their opinion, they said he was a god.

And thence the brethren, having heard about us, came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Tres Tabernae, whom when Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage.

And having appointed him a day many came to him to the lodging, to whom he expounded, testifying of the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from early morning to evening.

Be it known to you therefore, that this salvation of God has been sent to the nations; they also will hear it.

preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom unhinderedly.

marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by resurrection of the dead) Jesus Christ our Lord;

to all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the glad tidings of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,

always beseeching at my prayers, if any way now at least I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.

for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith.

For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness.

Because what is known of God is manifest among them, for God has manifested it to them,

Because, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened:

and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles.

Wherefore God gave them up also in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies between themselves:

who changed the truth of God into falsehood, and honoured and served the creature more than him who had created it, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature;

And according as they did not think good to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things;

back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do them.

But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who do such things.

And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and practisest them thyself, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?

but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

for there is no acceptance of persons with God.

(for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my glad tidings, by Jesus Christ.

But if thou art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God,

thou who boastest in law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God?

For the name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, according as it is written.

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.

Much every way: and first, indeed, that to them were entrusted the oracles of God.

For what? if some have not believed, shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect?

Far be the thought: but let God be true, and every man false; according as it is written, So that thou shouldest be justified in thy words, and shouldest overcome when thou art in judgment.

But if our unrighteousness commend God's righteousness, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak according to man.

Far be the thought: since how shall God judge the world?

For if the truth of God, in my lie, has more abounded to his glory, why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

there is not the man that understands, there is not one that seeks after God.

there is no fear of God before their eyes.

Now we know that whatever the things the law says, it speaks to those under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be under judgment to God.

But now without law righteousness of God is manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets;

righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all,and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference;

for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;

Is God the God of Jews only? is he not of the nations also? Yea, of nations also:

since indeed it is one God who shall justify the circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith.

For if Abraham has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before God;

for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:

(according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations,) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being;

and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God;

Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

by whom we have also access by faith into this favour in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.

and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us:

but God commends his love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.

For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in the power of his life.

And not only that, but we are making our boast in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we have received the reconciliation.

But shall not the act of favour be as the offence? For if by the offence of one the many have died, much rather has the grace of God, and the free gift in grace, which is by the one man Jesus Christ, abounded unto the many.

For in that he has died, he has died to sin once for all; but in that he lives, he lives to God.

So also ye, reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.

But thanks be to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed.

But now, having got your freedom from sin, and having become bondmen to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death; but the act of favour of God, eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

So that, my brethren, ye also have been made dead to the law by the body of the Christ, to be to another, who has been raised up from among the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.

For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man:

I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with the mind serve God's law; but with the flesh sin's law.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,

Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:

and they that are in flesh cannot please God.

for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God.

And if children, heirs also: heirs of God, and Christ's joint heirs; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

For the anxious looking out of the creature expects the revelation of the sons of God:

that the creature itself also shall be set free from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

But he who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God.

But we do know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who against us?

Who shall bring an accusation against God's elect? It is God who justifies:

who is he that condemns? It is Christ who has died, but rather has been also raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us.

nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
