-
And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.
-
so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
-
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
-
For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
-
Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.
-
And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him.
-
And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
-
But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.”
-
just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us,
-
and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.”
-
(When all the people heard this, and the tax collectors too, they declared God just, having been baptized with the baptism of John,
-
and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
-
Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
-
Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
-
Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
-
Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building,
-
So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them.
-
And they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
-
Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see.”
-
Just then his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?”
-
that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
-
Witnesses to Jesus
“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
-
So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning.
-
So Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me.
-
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
-
The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?”
-
And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
-
For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.
-
Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’
-
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
-
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
-
I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
-
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
-
that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
-
Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
-
Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.”
-
“Our fathers had the tent of witness in the wilderness, just as he who spoke to Moses directed him to make it, according to the pattern that he had seen.
-
“Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”
-
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning.
-
And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us,
-
But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.”
-
And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written,
-
having a hope in God, which these men themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust.
-
And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.
-
It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
-
just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
-
Death in Adam, Life in Christ
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—
-
We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
-
I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
-
For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,
-
just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.
-
One Body with Many Members
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
-
Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.
-
For I do not want to see you now just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
-
just as you did partially understand us—that on the day of our Lord Jesus you will boast of us as we will boast of you.
-
For whatever boasts I made to him about you, I was not put to shame. But just as everything we said to you was true, so also our boasting before Titus has proved true.
-
Look at what is before your eyes. If anyone is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that just as he is Christ's, so also are we.
-
On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised
-
just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?
-
But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
-
There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—
-
For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,
-
I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me,
-
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
-
just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf
-
rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
-
but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.
-
For when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction, just as it has come to pass, and just as you know.
-
A Life Pleasing to God
Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more.
-
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
-
since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you,
-
understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers,
-
Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith.
-
For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution,
-
who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house.
-
For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.
-
Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins just as he does for those of the people.
-
And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.
-
And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,
-
False Prophets and Teachers
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
-
And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,
-
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
-
But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.
-
And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.
-
Walking in Truth and Love
I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father.
-
And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.
-
just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
-
but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.
-
And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations!
-
And I heard the angel in charge of the waters say, “Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was, for you brought these judgments.
-
And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are your judgments!”
-
for his judgments are true and just; for he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”
