Bible verses about "lutherans" | BBE

⁵⁰ The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death. ⁵¹ I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world. ⁵² Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food? ⁵³ Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you. ⁵⁴ He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day. ⁵⁵ My flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. ⁵⁶ He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever. ⁵⁹ Jesus said these things in the Synagogue while he was teaching at Capernaum. ⁶⁰ Then, hearing this, a number of his disciples said, This is a hard saying; who is able to take in such teaching? ⁶¹ When Jesus became conscious that his disciples were protesting about what he said, he said to them, Does this give you trouble? ⁶² What then will you say if you see the Son of man going up to where he was before? ⁶³ The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life. ⁶⁴ But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him. ⁶⁵ And he said, This is why I said to you, No man is able to come to me if he is not given the power to do so by the Father. ⁶⁶ Because of what he said, a number of the disciples went back and would no longer go with him. ⁶⁷ So Jesus said to the twelve, Have you a desire to go away? ⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter gave this answer: Lord, to whom are we to go? you have the words of eternal life; ⁶⁹ And we have faith and are certain that you are the Holy One of God. ⁷⁰ Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One? ⁷¹ He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus--one of the twelve.

¹⁹ At evening on that day, the first day of the week, when, for fear of the Jews, the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came among them and said to them, May peace be with you! ²⁰ And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. ²¹ And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you. ²² And when he had said this, breathing on them, he said to them, Let the Holy Spirit come on you: ²³ Any to whom you give forgiveness, will be made free from their sins; and any from whom you keep back forgiveness, will still be in their sins.

¹⁵ If the fire puts an end to any man's work, it will be his loss: but he will get salvation himself, though as by fire. ¹⁶ Do you not see that you are God's holy house, and that the Spirit of God has his place in you? ¹⁷ If anyone makes the house of God unclean, God will put an end to him; for the house of God is holy, and you are his house.

³² But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord: ³³ But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife. ³⁴ And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

¹⁴ What use is it, my brothers, for a man to say that he has faith, if he does nothing? will such a faith give him salvation? ¹⁵ If a brother or a sister is without clothing and in need of the day's food, ¹⁶ And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this? ¹⁷ Even so faith without works is dead. ¹⁸ But a man may say, You have faith and I have works; let me see your faith without your works, and I will make my faith clear to you by my works. ¹⁹ You have the belief that God is one, and you do well: the evil spirits have the same belief, shaking with fear. ²⁰ Do you not see, O foolish man, that faith without works is of no use? ²¹ Was not the righteousness of Abraham our father judged by his works, when he made an offering of Isaac his son on the altar? ²² You see that his faith was helping his works and was made complete by them; ²³ And the holy Writings were put into effect which said, And Abraham had faith in God and it was put to his account as righteousness; and he was named the friend of God. ²⁴ You see that a man's righteousness is judged by his works and not by his faith only. ²⁵ And in the same way, was not the righteousness of Rahab, the loose woman, judged by her works, when she took into her house those who were sent and let them go out by another way? ²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead even so faith without works is dead.

¹¹ For there is no other base for the building but that which has been put down, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² But on the base a man may put gold, silver, stones of great price, wood, dry grass, cut stems; ¹³ Every man's work will be made clear in that day, because it will be tested by fire; and the fire itself will make clear the quality of every man's work. ¹⁴ If any man's work comes through the test, he will have a reward. ¹⁵ If the fire puts an end to any man's work, it will be his loss: but he will get salvation himself, though as by fire.

¹⁰ But to the married I give orders, though not I but the Lord, that the wife may not go away from her husband ¹¹ Or if she goes away from him, let her keep unmarried, or be united to her husband again; and that the husband may not go away from his wife.
