'God' in the Bible

Now on the topic of brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also we believe that God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep as Christians.

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

For God did not destine us for wrath but for gaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now may the God of peace himself make you completely holy and may your spirit and soul and body be kept entirely blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

From Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

We ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith flourishes more and more and the love of each one of you all for one another is ever greater.

As a result we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and afflictions you are enduring.

This is evidence of God's righteous judgment, to make you worthy of the kingdom of God, for which in fact you are suffering.

For it is right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

With flaming fire he will mete out punishment on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

And in this regard we pray for you always, that our God will make you worthy of his calling and fulfill by his power your every desire for goodness and every work of faith,

that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, and as a result he takes his seat in God's temple, displaying himself as God.

Consequently God sends on them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false.

But we ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope,

Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God and the endurance of Christ.

From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,

to Timothy, my genuine child in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

This accords with the glorious gospel of the blessed God that was entrusted to me.

Now to the eternal king, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever! Amen.

Such prayer for all is good and welcomed before God our Savior,

For there is one God and one intermediary between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, himself human,

but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess reverence for God.

But if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for the church of God?

in case I am delayed, to let you know how people ought to conduct themselves in the household of God, because it is the church of the living God, the support and bulwark of the truth.

They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

For every creation of God is good and no food is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.

In fact this is why we work hard and struggle, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of believers.

But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they should first learn to fulfill their duty toward their own household and so repay their parents what is owed them. For this is what pleases God.

But the widow who is truly in need, and completely on her own, has set her hope on God and continues in her pleas and prayers night and day.

Before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, I solemnly charge you to carry out these commands without prejudice or favoritism of any kind.

Those who are under the yoke as slaves must regard their own masters as deserving of full respect. This will prevent the name of God and Christian teaching from being discredited.

But you, as a person dedicated to God, keep away from all that. Instead pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.

I charge you before God who gives life to all things and Christ Jesus who made his good confession before Pontius Pilate,

Command those who are rich in this world's goods not to be haughty or to set their hope on riches, which are uncertain, but on God who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment.

From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to further the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

to Timothy, my dear child. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did, when I remember you in my prayers as I do constantly night and day.

For God did not give us a Spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control.

So I endure all things for the sake of those chosen by God, that they too may obtain salvation in Christ Jesus and its eternal glory.

Make every effort to present yourself before God as a proven worker who does not need to be ashamed, teaching the message of truth accurately.

correcting opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance and then knowledge of the truth

treacherous, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God.

Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

that the person dedicated to God may be capable and equipped for every good work.

I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:

From Paul, a slave of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith of God's chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in keeping with godliness,

in hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the ages began.

But now in his own time he has made his message evident through the preaching I was entrusted with according to the command of God our Savior.

To Titus, my genuine son in a common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior!

They profess to know God but with their deeds they deny him, since they are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.

to be self-controlled, pure, fulfilling their duties at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message of God may not be discredited.

not pilfering, but showing all good faith, in order to bring credit to the teaching of God our Savior in everything.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.

as we wait for the happy fulfillment of our hope in the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

But "when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for mankind appeared,

This saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on such truths, so that those who have placed their faith in God may be intent on engaging in good works. These things are good and beneficial for all people.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers,

After God spoke long ago in various portions and in various ways to our ancestors through the prophets,

For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my son! Today I have fathered you"? And in another place he says, "I will be his father and he will be my son."

But when he again brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him!"

but of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and a righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. So God, your God, has anointed you over your companions with the oil of rejoicing."

while God confirmed their witness with signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

Again he says, "I will be confident in him," and again, "Here I am, with the children God has given me."

Therefore he had to be made like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil, unbelieving heart that forsakes the living God.

And against whom was God provoked for forty years? Was it not those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness?

For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,"

So God again ordains a certain day, "Today," speaking through David after so long a time, as in the words quoted before, "O, that today you would listen as he speaks! Do not harden your hearts."

For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken afterward about another day.

Consequently a Sabbath rest remains for the people of God.

For the one who enters God's rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart.

And no creature is hidden from God, but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.

Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.

For every high priest is taken from among the people and appointed to represent them before God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

And no one assumes this honor on his own initiative, but only when called to it by God, as in fact Aaron was.

So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming high priest, but the one who glorified him was God, who said to him, "You are my Son! Today I have fathered you,"

as also in another place God says, "You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."

and he was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

Therefore we must progress beyond the elementary instructions about Christ and move on to maturity, not laying this foundation again: repentance from dead works and faith in God,

And this is what we intend to do, if God permits.

tasted the good word of God and the miracles of the coming age,

and then have committed apostasy, to renew them again to repentance, since they are crucifying the Son of God for themselves all over again and holding him up to contempt.

For the ground that has soaked up the rain that frequently falls on it and yields useful vegetation for those who tend it receives a blessing from God.

For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love you have demonstrated for his name, in having served and continuing to serve the saints.

Now when God made his promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,

In the same way God wanted to demonstrate more clearly to the heirs of the promise that his purpose was unchangeable, and so he intervened with an oath,

so that we who have found refuge in him may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie.

Now this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, met Abraham as he was returning from defeating the kings and blessed him.

Without father, without mother, without genealogy, he has neither beginning of days nor end of life but is like the son of God, and he remains a priest for all time.

for the law made nothing perfect. On the other hand a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

So he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

The place where they serve is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, just as Moses was warned by God as he was about to complete the tabernacle. For he says, "See that you make everything according to the design shown to you on the mountain."
