NAS John 1:25 And they asked him, and said to him, "Why
then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the
Prophet?"
42 He brought him to
Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you
shall be called Cephas " (which is translated Peter).
49 Nathanael answered
Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel." (Of
Jesus: “You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel.”)
NAS John 4:12 "You are not greater than our father Jacob,
are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his
cattle?"
19 The woman said to Him,
"Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. (Of Jesus: You are a prophet.)
NAS John 5:40 and you are unwilling to come to Me, that you may
have life. (To Jews: “you are unwilling to come to Me, that you may have
life.”)
NAS John 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh
profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
69 "And we have
believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God." (Of Jesus:
“You are the Holy One of God.”)
NAS John 7:3 His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart
from here, and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may behold Your works
which You are doing. (Of Jesus: “Your works which You are doing.”)
52 They answered and said
to him, "You are not also from Galilee, are you? Search, and see that no
prophet arises out of Galilee."
NAS John 8:13 The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You are
bearing witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true."
23 And He was saying to
them, "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am
not of this world. (Of Pharisees: “you are of this world.”)
31 Jesus therefore was
saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;
(Jesus to Jews: “If you abide in My word, then
you are truly disciples of Mine.”)
37 "I know that you
are Abraham's offspring; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place
in you. (“you are Abraham's offspring” … “My word has no place in you”)
39 They answered and said
to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you are
Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham.
40 "But as it is,
you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard
from God; this Abraham did not do. (Jesus to Jews: “you are seeking to kill
Me.”)
41 "You are doing
the deeds of your father." They said to Him, "We were not born of
fornication; we have one Father, even God."
(Jesus to Jews: “You are doing the deeds of your father.”)
44 "You are of your father the devil, and you want to
do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does
not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a
lie, he speaks from his own nature;
for he is a liar, and the father of lies. (Jesus to Jews: “You are of your father the devil.”)
47 "He who is of God
hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God." (Jesus to Jews: “you are
not of God.”)
48 The Jews answered and
said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a
demon?" (Jews to Jesus: “You are a Samaritan and have a demon.”)
53 "Surely You are
not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do
You make Yourself out to be?"

said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen
Abraham?"
NAS John 9:28 And they reviled him, and said, "You are His
disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
NAS John 10:24 The Jews therefore gathered around Him, and were
saying to Him, "How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the
Christ, tell us plainly." (Jews to Jesus: “If You are the Christ, tell us
plainly.”)
26 "But you do not
believe, because you are not of My sheep. (“you are not of My sheep”)
34 Jesus answered them,
"Has it not been written in your Law, 'I said, you are gods '?
36 do you say of Him,
whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,'
because I said, 'I am the Son of God '?
NAS John 11:27 She said to Him, "Yes, Lord; I have believed
that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even
He who comes into the world." (“You are the Christ”)
NAS John 12:19 The Pharisees therefore said to one another,
"You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after
Him."
NAS John 13:10 Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs
only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you." (“you are clean”)
11 For He knew the one
who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, "Not all of you are
clean."
13 "You call Me
Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so
I am.
17 "If you know
these things, you are blessed if you do them. (“you are blessed if you do
them”)
35 "By this all men
will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
(“you are My disciples, if you have love for one another”)
NAS John 14:5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know
where You are going, how do we know the way?"
22 Judas (not Iscariot)
said to Him, "Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose
Yourself to us, and not to the world?"
NAS John 15:3 "You are already clean because of the word
which I have spoken to you. (All)
5 "I am the vine,
you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit;
for apart from Me you can do nothing. (“you are the branches”)
14 "You are My
friends, if you do what I command you. (All)
19 "If you were of
the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world,
but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. (“you are not
of the world”)
NAS John 16:29 His disciples said, "Lo, now You are
speaking plainly, and are not using a figure of speech.
NAS John 18:17 The slave-girl therefore who kept the door said
to Peter, "You are not also one of
this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."
25 Now Simon Peter was
standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You are not
also one of His disciples, are
you?" He denied it, and said,
"I am not."
37 Pilate therefore said
to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say correctly that I am a king. For this I
have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the
truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."
NAS John 19:12 As a result of this Pilate made efforts to
release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this Man, you
are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar."
NAS Romans 2:1 Therefore you are without excuse, every man of you who passes judgment, for in that
you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same
things. (“you are without excuse”)
5 But because of your
stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the
day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, (“you are storing
up wrath for yourself”)
25 For indeed
circumcision is of value, if you practice the Law; but if you are a
transgressor of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
NAS Romans 6:14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are
not under law, but under grace. (“you are not under law, but under grace”)
16 Do you not know that
when you present yourselves to someone as
slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of
sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? (“you are
slaves of the one whom you obey”)
21 Therefore what benefit
were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the
outcome of those things is death. (“things of which you are now ashamed”)
NAS Romans 8:9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the
Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have
the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. (“you are not in the flesh but
in the Spirit”)
13 for if you are living
according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to
death the deeds of the body, you will live. (“you are putting to death the
deeds of the body”)
NAS Romans 9:26 "And it shall be that in the place where it
was said to them, 'you are not My people,' There they shall be called sons of
the living God. (“you are not My people”)
NAS Romans 11:18 do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if
you are arrogant, remember that it is
not you who supports the root, but the root supports
you. (“but if you are arrogant”)
NAS Romans 14:15 For if because of food your brother is hurt, you
are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy with your food him for
whom Christ died. (“you are no longer walking according to love”)
NAS 1 Corinthians 1:7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting
eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, (“you are not lacking in any
gift”)
30 But by His doing you
are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and
sanctification, and redemption, (“by His doing you are in Christ Jesus”)
NAS 1 Corinthians 3:2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you
were not yet able to receive it.
Indeed, even now you are not yet able, (“not solid food; for you were not yet
able”)
3 for you are still
fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly,
and are you not walking like mere men? (“you are still fleshly”)
9 For we are God's fellow
workers; you are God's field, God's building. (“you are God's field”)
16 Do you not know that
you are a temple of God, and that the
Spirit of God dwells in you? (“you are a temple of God”)
17 If any man destroys
the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and
that is what you are.
NAS 1 Corinthians 4:8 You are already filled, you have already become
rich, you have become kings without us; and I
would indeed that you had become kings so that we also might reign with
you. (Sarcasm: You are already filled.”)
10 We are fools for
Christ's sake, but you are prudent in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong;
you are distinguished, but we are without honor. (Sarcasm: “you are strong; you
are distinguished.”)
NAS 1 Corinthians 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are
assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,
7 Clean out the old
leaven, that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been
sacrificed.
NAS 1 Corinthians 6:2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the
world? And if the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?
19 Or do you not know
that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from
God, and that you are not your own? (“you are not your own”)
NAS 1 Corinthians 7:21 Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about
it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that. (“if you are able
also to become free, rather do that”)
NAS 1 Corinthians 9:2 If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am
to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. (“you are the seal
of my apostleship in the Lord”)
NAS 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is
common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond
what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also,
that you may be able to endure it. (“not allow you to be tempted beyond what
you are able”)
NAS 1 Corinthians 11:30 For this reason many among you are weak and sick,
and a number sleep. (“you are weak and sick”)
NAS 1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are Christ's body, and individually
members of it. (“you are Christ's body”)
NAS 1 Corinthians 14:12 So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the
edification of the church. (“you are zealous of spiritual gifts”)
16 Otherwise if you bless
in the spirit only, how will the one
who fills the place of the ungifted say the "Amen " at your giving of
thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?
17 For you are giving
thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified.
23 If therefore the whole
church should assemble together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or
unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?
37 If anyone thinks he is
a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you
are the Lord's commandment.
NAS 1 Corinthians 15:2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the
word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. (“by which also you
are saved”)
17 and if Christ has not
been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. (All)
NAS 2 Corinthians 1:7 and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing
that as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of our comfort. (“you are sharers of our sufferings”) (“you
are sharers of our comfort”)
24 Not that we lord it
over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you
are standing firm. (“in your faith you are standing firm”)
NAS 2 Corinthians 2:9 For to this end also I wrote that I might put you
to the test, whether you are obedient in all things. (“whether you are obedient
in all things”)
NAS 2 Corinthians 3:2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known
and read by all men;
3 being manifested that you
are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink, but with the
Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human
hearts. (“you are a letter of Christ”)
NAS 2 Corinthians 6:12 You are not restrained by us, but you are
restrained in your own affections.
NAS 2 Corinthians 7:3 I do not speak to condemn you; for I have said
before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live together. (“you
are in our hearts to die together and to live together”)
NAS 2 Corinthians 10:7 You are looking at things as they are outwardly.
If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this
again within himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also are we. (“You are
looking at things as they are outwardly.”)
NAS 2 Corinthians 11:1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little
foolishness; but indeed you are bearing with me. (“you are bearing with me”)
NAS 2 Corinthians 13:3 since you are seeking for proof of the Christ who
speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you. (Corinthians:
“you are seeking for proof of the Christ who speaks in me”)
5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine
yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is
in you-- unless indeed you fail the test? (“Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith”)
9 For we rejoice when we
ourselves are weak but you are strong; this we also pray for, that you be made
complete. (Deliberative: “but you are strong.”)
NAS Galatians 1:6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him
who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; (Galatians: “you
are so quickly deserting Him.”)
NAS Galatians 3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith in
Christ Jesus. (All)
28 There is neither Jew
nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor
female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (“you are all one in Christ
Jesus”)
29 And if you belong to
Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. (All)
NAS Galatians 4:6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the
Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" (Spiritual:
“you are sons.”)
7 Therefore you are no
longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God. (All)
12 I beg of you,
brethren, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong;
NAS Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not
under the Law. (All)
NAS Ephesians 2:19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens,
but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, (All)
(“you are no longer strangers and aliens”)
NAS Ephesians 5:8 for you were formerly darkness, but now you are
light in the Lord; walk as children of light (All) (“you are light in the
Lord”) (you were … you are)
NAS Philippians 1:27 Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the
gospel of Christ; so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I may
hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving
together for the faith of the gospel; (“you are standing firm in one spirit”)
NAS 1 Thessalonians 2:10 You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we behaved
toward you believers;
20 For you are our glory
and joy. (All)
NAS 1 Thessalonians 5:5 for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We
are not of night nor of darkness; (“you are all sons of light and sons of day”)
NAS 2 Thessalonians 1:5 This is a
plain indication of God's righteous judgment so that you may be considered
worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering. (“kingdom of
God, for which indeed you are suffering”)
NAS 2 Thessalonians 3:4 And we have confidence in the Lord concerning
you, that you are doing and will continue
to do what we command. (“you are doing and will continue to do what we command”)
11 For we hear that some
among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting
like busybodies.
NAS 2 Timothy 1:15 You are aware of the fact that all who are in
Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
NAS Hebrews 12:5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is
addressed to you as sons, "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of
the Lord, Nor faint when you are reproved by Him; (Hebrews: “Nor faint when you
are reproved by Him”)
8 But if you are without
discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate
children and not sons. (“without discipline” … “you are illegitimate children”)
NAS James 2:8 If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law,
according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as
yourself," you are doing well. ("You shall love your neighbor as
yourself, you are doing well”)
9 But if you show partiality,
you are committing sin and are
convicted by the law as transgressors. (“if you show partiality, you are
committing sin”)
NAS James 4:2 You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. And you are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not
have because you do not ask. (“you are envious and cannot obtain”)
11 Do not speak against
one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother, or judges his brother,
speaks against the law, and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are
not a doer of the law, but a judge of it.
(“you are not a doer of the law”)
14 Yet you do not know
what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes
away. (“You are just a vapor that
appears for a little while and then vanishes away.”)
NAS 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, a people for God's own
possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you
out of darkness into His marvelous light; (“you are a chosen race, a royal
priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's
own possession”)
10 for you once were not
a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but
now you have received mercy. (“now you are the people of God”)
NAS 1 Peter 3:14 But even if you should suffer for the sake of
righteousness, you are blessed. And
do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled,
16 and keep a good
conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile
your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. (“keep a good conscience so
that in the thing in which you are slandered”)
NAS 1 Peter 4:14 If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you
are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. (“If you
are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed”)
NAS 1 John 2:14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know
Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because
you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the
evil one. (“you are strong, and the word of God abides in you”)
NAS 1 John 4:4 You are from God, little children, and have
overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
(All) (“You are from God”)
NAS 3 John 1:3 For I was very glad when brethren came and bore
witness to your truth, that is, how
you are walking in truth. (“you are walking in truth”)
5 Beloved, you are acting
faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers; (“you are
acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren”)
NAS Revelation 2:9 'I know your tribulation and your poverty (but
you are rich), and the blasphemy by those who say they are Jews and are not,
but are a synagogue of Satan. (“I know your tribulation and your poverty (Smyrna
Church: but you are rich)”)
10 'Do not fear what you
are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into
prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be
faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. (Smyrna Church: “Do
not fear what you are about to suffer”)
NAS Revelation 3:1 "And to the angel of the church in Sardis
write: He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars, says this: 'I
know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.
(Sardis church: “you are dead”)
15 'I know your deeds, that
you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were cold or hot. (Laodicea
Church: “you are neither cold nor hot”)
16 'So because you are
lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. (Laodicea
Church: “you are lukewarm”)
17 'Because you say,
"I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and
you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and
naked, (Laodicea Church: “you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and
naked”)
