but if they will not obey, i will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.

And i will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: i will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.

but if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for <i>youri> pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive.

When they fast, i will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, i will not accept them: but i will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

Then said i, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but i will give you assured peace in this place.

Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will i bring thee again, <i>andi> thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.

And i will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for i <i>ami> with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

but i will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and i will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.

but if ye will not hear these words, i swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.

i spake unto thee in thy prosperity; <i>buti> thou saidst, i will not hear. This <i>hath beeni> thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.

but the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will i let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.

• David

but they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom i will raise up unto them.

For i <i>ami> with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though i make a full end of all nations whither i have scattered thee, yet will i not make a full end of thee: but i will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

• Fear
• Heart

And i will make an everlasting covenant with them, that i will not turn away from them, to do them good; but i will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

but they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, <i>neitheri> ye, nor your sons for ever:

Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, i will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that i have pronounced against them: because i have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and i have called unto them, but they have not answered.

• Impenitence

And i will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and i will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that i have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.

but i will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou <i>arti> afraid.

For i will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.

And now, behold, i loose thee this day from the chains which <i>werei> upon thine hand.

And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek <i>themi> not: for, behold, i will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will i give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.

but fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, i will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make <i>himi> afraid.

Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for i <i>ami> with thee; for i will make a full end of all the nations whither i have driven thee: but i will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will i not leave thee wholly unpunished.

• Stumbling

Again, When a righteous <i>mani> doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and i lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will i require at thine hand.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they <i>arei> the flesh, and this <i>city isi> the caldron: but i will bring you forth out of the midst of it.

This <i>cityi> shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; <i>buti> i will judge you in the border of Israel:

but <i>as for themi> whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, i will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.

but i will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that i <i>ami> the LORD.

Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; i will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.

Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these <i>thingsi>; behold, therefore i also will recompense thy way upon <i>thinei> head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.

Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and i will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

but they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then i said, i will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter <i>alsoi>, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.

but i will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that i <i>ami> the LORD, when i shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.

but if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take <i>anyi> person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will i require at the watchman's hand.

When i say unto the wicked, O wicked <i>mani>, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked <i>mani> shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will i require at thine hand.

Say unto them, <i>Asi> i live, saith the Lord GOD, i have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

• Jesus
• Obedience

i can of mine own self do nothing: as i hear, i judge: and my judgment is just; because i seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

For i came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me i should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

but i know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give <i>iti> thee.

but the Comforter, <i>which isi> the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever i have said unto you.

but when the Comforter is come, whom i will send unto you from the Father, <i>eveni> the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

• Unbelief

The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. but he said unto them, Except i shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, i will not believe.

Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If i will that he tarry till i come, what <i>is thati> to thee?

but if it be a question of words and names, and <i>ofi> your law, look ye <i>to iti>; for i will be no judge of such <i>mattersi>.

And said unto them, Sirs, i perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

For i know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but <i>howi> to perform that which is good i find not.

but i say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, i will provoke you to jealousy by <i>them that arei> no people, <i>andi> by a foolish nation i will anger you.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what <i>isi> that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but <i>ratheri> give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance <i>isi> mine; i will repay, saith the Lord.

but i will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but i will not be brought under the power of any.

but if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of <i>heri> age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

For if i do this thing willingly, i have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation <i>of the gospeli> is committed unto me.

• Corruption
• Death

but some <i>mani> will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? <i>Thoui> fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other <i>graini>: but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. read more All flesh <i>isi> not the same flesh: but <i>there isi> one <i>kind ofi> flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, <i>andi> another of birds. <i>There arei> also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial <i>isi> one, and the <i>gloryi> of the terrestrial <i>isi> another. <i>There isi> one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for <i>onei> star differeth from <i>anotheri> star in glory. So also <i>isi> the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam <i>was madei> a quickening spirit. Howbeit that <i>wasi> not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man <i>isi> of the earth, earthy: the second man <i>isi> the Lord from heaven. As <i>isi> the earthy, such <i>arei> they also that are earthy: and as <i>isi> the heavenly, such <i>arei> they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this i say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, i shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal <i>musti> put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where <i>isi> thy sting? O grave, where <i>isi> thy victory? The sting of death <i>isi> sin; and the strength of sin <i>isi> the law. but thanks <i>bei> to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. show less

For i will not see you now by the way; but i trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

but i will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

As touching <i>ouri> brother Apollos, i greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.

And <i>this they didi>, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.

but we will not boast of things without <i>ouri> measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.

but what i do, that i will do, that i may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

Of such an one will i glory: yet of myself i will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

For though i would desire to glory, i shall not be a fool; for i will say the truth: but <i>nowi> i forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me <i>to bei>, or <i>thati> he heareth of me.

Behold, the third time i am ready to come to you; and i will not be burdensome to you: for i seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

i have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord <i>isi>.

but they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and <i>intoi> many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
