2 Corinthians 11:29 Cross References - NSB

²⁹ Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is offended, and I do not burn with indignation?

⁶ One of the Israelite men brought a Midianite woman to his brothers. He did this right in front of Moses and the entire congregation of Israel while they were crying at the entrance to the tent of meeting. ⁷ Phinehas, son of Eleazar and grandson of the priest Aaron, saw this. He left the assembly and grabbed a spear in his hand. ⁸ He went into the tent after the Israelite man. He drove the spear through the man and into the woman’s body. Because of this, the plague that the Israelites were experiencing stopped. ⁹ Twenty-four thousand people died from that plague. ¹⁰ Jehovah continued speaking to Moses: ¹¹ Jehovah said to Moses: »Phinehas, son of Eleazar and grandson of the priest Aaron, turned my fury away from the Israelites. Since he stood up for me, I did not have to stand up for myself and destroy them.

¹ After these things were done, the captains came to me and said: »The people of Israel and the priests and Levites have not kept themselves separate from the people of the lands. They have taken part in the disgusting ways of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² »They have taken their daughters as wives for themselves and for their sons. They have mingled the holy race with peoples around them. In fact the leaders and officials were first to do this evil.« ³ Hearing this, with signs of grief and pulling out the hair of my head and my chin, I took my seat on the earth deeply troubled.

⁶ On hearing their outcry and what they said I was very angry. ⁷ After giving it much thought, I made a protest to the chiefs and the rulers, and said to them: »Everyone of you is collecting interest from his brothers.« I organized a big meeting of protest. ⁸ I said to them: »We have given whatever we were able to give, to make our brothers the Jews free. They were servants and prisoners of the nations. Would you now give up your brothers for a price? Are they to become our property?« They said nothing. They answered not a word! ⁹ I said: »What you are doing is not good. Is it not necessary for you to walk out of respect for our God, because of the shame the nations put on us? ¹⁰ »Even I and my servants have been collecting interest (Usury) for the money and the grain we have let them have. So now, let us give this up. ¹¹ »Give back to them this very day their fields, their vine-gardens, their olive-gardens, and their houses, as well as a hundredth part of the money and the grain and the wine and the oil that you have taken from them.« ¹² They said: »We will give them back, and take nothing for them. We will do as you say.« Then I sent for the priests and made them take an oath that they would keep this agreement. ¹³ Shaking out the folds of my robe, I said: »So, may God send out from his house and his work every man who does not keep this agreement. Even so let him be sent out and made as nothing.« All the people said: »Amen!« They praised Jehovah. The people did as they said.

¹⁵ In those days, I saw in Judah some who were crushing grapes on the Sabbath, and harvesting grain and putting it on Asses; as well as wine and grapes and figs and all sorts of goods that they took into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. I gave witness against them on the day when they were marketing food. ¹⁶ There were men of Tyre there. They came with fish and all sorts of goods, trading with the children of Judah and in Jerusalem on the Sabbath. ¹⁷ Then I made protests to the chiefs of Judah, and said to them: »What is this evil you are doing, not keeping the Sabbath day holy? ¹⁸ »Did not your fathers do the same, and did not our God send all this evil on us and on this town? You are causing more anger to come on Israel by not keeping the Sabbath holy.« ¹⁹ When the streets of Jerusalem were getting dark before the Sabbath, I gave orders for the gate to be shut and not to be open again until after the Sabbath. I put some of my servants by the gate so that nothing might be taken in on the Sabbath day. ²⁰ So the traders in all sorts of goods took their night's rest outside Jerusalem once or twice.

²³ I saw the Jews who were married to women of Ashdod and Ammon and Moab: ²⁴ Their children were talking half in the language of Ashdod; they had no knowledge of the Jews' language, but made use of the language of the two peoples. ²⁵ I took up the cause against them, cursing them and giving blows to some of them and pulling out their hair. I made them take an oath by God, saying: »You are not to give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.

¹⁷ His disciples remembered what was written. ‘Zeal for your house shall eat me up.’ (Psalm 69:9)

¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

¹ We who are strong in the faith ought to help the weak to carry their burdens. We should not just please ourselves.

¹ It is reported that there is sexual immorality among you. This type of fornication is not even found among the people of the nations (who do not know God). There is a man who has his father’s wife. ² And you are proud! You should have been filled with sadness that he did this deed. And you should have ejected (expelled) (excommunicated) (disfellowshiped) him from your congregation. ³ I am not there with you in person. But I am with you in spirit. I have already judged the man who did this. ⁴ When you assemble in the name and with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, I will be with you in spirit. ⁵ Deliver this one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

⁵ I speak to shame you. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? Not one who would be able to judge between his brothers? ⁶ But brother goes to court against brother, and this before unbelievers. ⁷ It is already a defeat for you that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not let yourself be wronged? Why not let your selves be defrauded (cheated)?

¹⁵ Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and unite them with (turn them into) the members of a prostitute? God forbid! ¹⁶ What? Do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one (united with her) body? For he said: »Two will be one flesh.« ¹⁷ He who is joined to the Lord is one (united with him in) spirit. ¹⁸ Flee from fornication! Every sin that a man does is outside his body. But he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

¹³ If food makes my brother stumble I will eat no food at all so I do not make my brother stumble.

²² Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the congregation of God, and shame them that have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I will not praise you!

²⁶ When one member suffers all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

¹² If we preached that Christ was raised from the dead, how can some among you say there is no resurrection of the dead? ¹³ If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not risen. ¹⁴ And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is worth nothing, and your faith is also without value. ¹⁵ We are found to be false witnesses of God because we have testified that God raised Christ from the dead. If he did not raise him up from the dead then the dead are not raised up. ¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised up then Christ has not been raised. ¹⁷ And if Christ is not resurrected, your faith is worth nothing, and you are still in your sins. ¹⁸ Then they also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable (pitiable). ²⁰ Christ has risen from the dead, and has become the first fruits of those who slept [in death]. ²¹ Death came because of what one man did. The resurrection of the dead also comes because of what one man did. ²² In Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. ²³ Everyone will be raised to life in the right order: Christ the first fruits and afterward those who belong to Christ at the time of his coming. ²⁴ In the end Christ will deliver the kingdom to God the Father. Christ will destroy every ruler and all authority and all power.

⁴ For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears. Not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have more abundantly for you. ⁵ But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all.

⁵ When we came to Macedonia our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side, fighting on the outside and fears on the inside. ⁶ Nevertheless he who comforts the lowly, even God, comforted us by the coming of Titus.

²² To the weak I became as the weak, that I might gain the weak. I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

²⁵ For he (Christ) must rule as king until he (God) puts all enemies under his feet (his control). (Psalm 2; 110) (Daniel 2:44) (Revelation 5:10; 20:6) ²⁶ The last enemy to be destroyed will be death. (Revelation 20:14) ²⁷ According to the Scriptures: God has placed all things under his control (subjection). (Ephesians 1:22) But when he said all things are placed under him, it is with the exception of [God]. For [God] is the one who placed all things under him (Christ). (1 Peter 3:22) (John 3:35) ²⁸ When all things shall be subdued under the Son, then the Son will also be subjected to God who put all things under him, that God may be all in all (ruler over everything). ²⁹ What will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why are they then baptized for the dead? ³⁰ Why do we stand in jeopardy (in danger) every hour? ³¹ I face death daily even as I rejoice over you in Christ Jesus our Lord. ³² If I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage was it to me if the dead do not rise? Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die. ³³ Do not be deceived: Bad company corrupts good morals. ³⁴ Wake up to righteousness and do not sin. Some do not have knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

³⁶ You fool, that which you sow is not alive unless it first dies.

¹³ For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no wonder for even Satan fashions himself into an angel of light. ¹⁵ It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.

⁴ This occurred because of the false brothers brought in secretly. They came to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus. This was so they might bring us into bondage. ⁵ We did not yield to them for a moment or an hour! That way the truth of the good news (the whole body of Christian teachings) might continue with you. ⁶ Those who were recognized as important people did not add a single thing to my message. What sort of people they were makes no difference to me. God does not play favorites (show partiality).

¹⁴ I saw that they did not walk uprightly according to the truth of the good news. Therefore I said to Cephas, in front of them all: »If you, being a Jew, live as the nations do and not as the Jews, why do you compel the people of the nations to live like the Jews?«

¹ O foolish Galatians, who fascinated (cast a spell over) (beguiled) (influenced) you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was openly presented impaled. ² I want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law, or by having faith in what you heard? ³ Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now made perfect (mature) in the flesh?

⁸ However at that time, you did not know God. You were in bondage to things that are really not gods at all. ⁹ Now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and poor fundamental things? Do you want to slave for them all over again? ¹⁰ You observe days and months, seasons and years. ¹¹ I fear for you, that I have labored for you to no purpose (and failed). ¹² I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also used to be as you are. You did me no wrong. ¹³ You know that because of an infirmity of the flesh I preached the good news to you the first time. ¹⁴ That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you did not despise or reject. You received me like an angel (messenger) of God, even like Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Where then is your positive attitude? I bear you witness, that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me. ¹⁶ So then have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? ¹⁷ They zealously (eagerly) seek you in no good way. They desire to shut you out, that you may seek them. ¹⁸ It is good to be zealously sought in a good matter at all times, and not only when I am present with you. ¹⁹ My little children, of whom I am again in labor pains until Christ is formed in you ²⁰ I wish to be present with you now, and to speak in a different way, for I am perplexed about you.

² Behold, I Paul say to you, that, if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. ³ Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision. He is under obligation to obey the whole Law. ⁴ You who seek to be righteous by Law are separated from Christ. You have fallen away from grace.

² Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

⁹ We are glad, when we are weak, and you are strong. We also pray that you be readjusted.

⁷ Yet this is not another good news. But there are some who trouble (agitate) you, and they would pervert the good news of Christ. ⁸ If we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any message other than that which we preached to you, let him be accursed (condemned) (expelled). ⁹ We said before and now I say again, if any man preaches to you any message other than what you received, let him be accursed! ¹⁰ Do I now seek the favor of men, or of God? Am I striving to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

⁵ For this cause, when I could no longer bear it, I inquired about your faith. I feared that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be in vain. ⁶ Timothy came from you to us, and brought us good news about your faith and love. We want you to have good memories of us always, and that you desire to see us just as we also desire to see you. ⁷ Brothers, your faith has comforted us. In all our trouble and suffering we are encouraged. ⁸ Now we live, if you (persevere) stand fast in the Lord.

² »'I know your works, and your labor, and your patience. I also know how you cannot tolerate those who are evil. You tested those who say they are apostles. They are not apostles. You found them to be liars.

²⁰ »'But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads my servants astray so that they commit immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

¹⁵ »'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. ¹⁶ »'Because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. ¹⁷ »'You say, «I am rich and have become wealthy and have need of nothing." You do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. ¹⁸ »'I counsel you to buy gold from me, gold purified by fire, so that you may be rich; and white clothing, so that you may be clothed. In this way the shame of your nakedness will not appear. And anoint your eyes with eye salve, so that you may see.

¹⁰ Do not receive anyone into your house who comes to you and does not bring this teaching. Give him no greeting! ¹¹ He who greets him partakes of his evil works.

³ Beloved, I diligently wrote you about our common salvation. I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the holy ones. ⁴ Certain men crept in unnoticed. They were appointed long ago for this condemnation. These ungodly men turned the grace of our God into loose conduct. They deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
