Bible verses about "religion" | YLT

⁵⁰ this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die. ⁵¹ `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live—to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.' <sup>52</sup> The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?' ⁵³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves; <sup>54</sup> he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day; <sup>55</sup> for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink; <sup>56</sup> he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him. <sup>57</sup> `According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me; ⁵⁸ this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live—to the age.' ⁵⁹ These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;
⁶⁰ many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, `This word is hard; who is able to hear it?' <sup>61</sup> And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, `Doth this stumble you? ⁶² if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before? ⁶³ the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life; ⁶⁴ but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up, ⁶⁵ and he said, `Because of this I have said to you—No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.' <sup>66</sup> From this time many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him, <sup>67</sup> Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, `Do ye also wish to go away?' ⁶⁸ Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, `Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during; <sup>69</sup> and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' <sup>70</sup> Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you—the twelve? and of you—one is a devil. ⁷¹ And he spake of Judas, Simon's son, Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

⁶ who also made us sufficient to be ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.

¹ There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit; ² for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death; ³ for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh, ⁴ that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. ⁵ For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit; ⁶ for the mind of the flesh is death, and the mind of the Spirit—life and peace; ⁷ because the mind of the flesh is enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself, ⁸ for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God. ⁹ And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ—this one is not His;
¹⁰ and if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead because of sin, and the Spirit is life because of righteousness, ¹¹ and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you. ¹² So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh; ¹³ for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live; ¹⁴ for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God; ¹⁵ for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba—Father.' ¹⁶ The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;
¹⁷ and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ—if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together. ¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory about to be revealed in us;

⁶ who shall render to each according to his works; ⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility—life age-during; ⁸ and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness—indignation and wrath,

⁸ for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you—of God the gift, ⁹ not of works, that no one may boast; ¹⁰ for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one point, he hath become guilty of all;

⁵ (not by works that are in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness,) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,

¹ `Take heed your kindness not to do before men, to be seen by them, and if not—reward ye have not from your Father who is in the heavens; <sup>2</sup> whenever, therefore, thou mayest do kindness, thou mayest not sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men; verily I say to you—they have their reward! <sup>3</sup> `But thou, doing kindness, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth, ⁴ that thy kindness may be in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret Himself shall reward thee manifestly.
⁵ `And when thou mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places—standing—to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their reward. <sup>6</sup> `But thou, when thou mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly. ⁷ `And—praying—ye may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard, <sup>8</sup> be ye not therefore like to them, for your Father doth know those things that ye have need of before your asking him;
<sup>9</sup> thus therefore pray ye: `Our Father who art in the heavens! hallowed be Thy name. ¹⁰ `Thy reign come: Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on the earth. <sup>11</sup> `Our appointed bread give us to-day. ¹² `And forgive us our debts, as also we forgive our debtors. <sup>13</sup> `And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory—to the ages. Amen. ¹⁴ `For, if ye may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you—your Father who is in the heavens; <sup>15</sup> but if ye may not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
<sup>16</sup> `And when ye may fast, be ye not as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; verily I say to you, that they have their reward. ¹⁷ `But thou, fasting, anoint thy head, and wash thy face, <sup>18</sup> that thou mayest not appear to men fasting, but to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father, who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.
<sup>19</sup> `Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal, ²⁰ but treasure up to yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal, ²¹ for where your treasure is, there will be also your heart. ²² `The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, thine eye may be perfect, all thy body shall be enlightened, <sup>23</sup> but if thine eye may be evil, all thy body shall be dark; if, therefore, the light that is in thee is darkness—the darkness, how great! <sup>24</sup> `None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon.
²⁵ `Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing? <sup>26</sup> look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father doth nourish them; are not ye much better than they? <sup>27</sup> `And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit? ²⁸ and about clothing why are ye anxious? consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? they do not labour, nor do they spin; ²⁹ and I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. ³⁰ `And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe—not much more you, O ye of little faith? ³¹ therefore ye may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? or, What may we drink? or, What may we put round? ³² for all these do the nations seek for, for your heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these; ³³ but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you. ³⁴ Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow shall be anxious for its own things; sufficient for the day is the evil of it.

²⁶ If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain is the religion; ²⁷ religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation—unspotted to keep himself from the world.

¹⁵ and he said to them, `Having gone to all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation; ¹⁶ he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.
