Man Of God

And God said, Let us make Man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So God created Man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a Man to till the ground.

• Life

And the LORD God formed Man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and Man became a living soul.

And the LORD God took the Man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

And the LORD God commanded the Man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

• Life

And the LORD God said, Behold, the Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

• Image

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created Man, in the likeness of God made he him;

• Heart

And God saw that the wickedness of Man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

• Just
• Character
• Noah

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just Man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

• Image

Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he Man.

• Joseph

And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a Man in whom the Spirit of God is?

• Sorrow

And God Almighty give you mercy before the Man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.

And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every Man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every Man his brother, and every Man his companion, and every Man his neighbour.

• Manners

Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old Man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD.

No Man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one Man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?

• Inviolable
• Truth

God is not a Man, that he should lie; neither the son of Man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a Man over the congregation,

Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of Man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.

Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every Man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created Man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

• Glory

And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with Man, and he liveth.

There shall no Man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

If there be among you a poor Man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:

Every Man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.

If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, Man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,

• Family
• Heart

Lest there should be among you Man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the Man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.

• Canaanites
• Cowardice
• Faith

And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any Man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every Man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:

• Benedictions
• CALEB
• Decision

Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the Man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea. Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart. Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God. And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God. read more And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in. Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said. And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance. Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel. And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great Man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war. show less

Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A Man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:

Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the Man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.

And there came a Man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?

And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the Man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.

• Eli
• Corpulency

And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old Man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a Man of God, and he is an honourable Man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.

Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the Man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the Man of God: what have we?

And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the Man of God, to tell us our way.

(Beforetime in Israel, when a Man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)

Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the Man of God was.

And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a Man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.

And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the Man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?

Yet a Man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.

And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every Man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of Man, O Lord God?

• David
• Anointing

And Nathan said to David, Thou art the Man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;

For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the Man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.

• Counsellor

And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a Man had inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.

Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the Man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,

Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a Man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the Man of God, saying,

And, behold, there came a Man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.

• Jeroboam
• Presumption

And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the Man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.

The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the Man of God had given by the word of the LORD.

• Intercession

And the king answered and said unto the Man of God, Intreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the Man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.

And the king said unto the Man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.

And the Man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:

Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the Man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.

And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the Man of God went, which came from Judah.

And went after the Man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the Man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.

And he cried unto the Man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,

And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the Man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.

And the prophet took up the carcase of the Man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.

And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the Man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:

• Conviction

And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou Man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?

And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a Man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth.

And there came a Man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

And they said unto him, There came a Man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baalzebub the God of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

• Armies
• Persecution

Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou Man of God, the king hath said, Come down.

And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a Man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O Man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.

And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a Man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O Man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.

Then she came and told the Man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy Man of God, which passeth by us continually.

And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou Man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.

And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the Man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the Man of God, and come again.

So she went and came unto the Man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the Man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:

And when she came to the Man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the Man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.

So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou Man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.

• Presents
• Prophets

And there came a Man from Baalshalisha, and brought the Man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.

And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this Man doth send unto me to recover a Man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.

• Mourning

And it was so, when Elisha the Man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the Man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

• NAAMAN
• Decision

And he returned to the Man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.

• Gehazi
• Deception

But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the Man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

• Iron
• Miracles

And the Man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.

And the Man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.

And the king of Israel sent to the place which the Man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.

And when the servant of the Man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?

• Prophecy
• Unbelief

Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the Man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the Man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.

And it came to pass as the Man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:

And that lord answered the Man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the Man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.

And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the Man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.

And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The Man of God is come hither.

And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the Man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the Man of God wept.

• Reproof

And the Man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.

And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the Man that sent you to me,

• Burial

And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the Man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.

• Burial

Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the Man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Bethel.

And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a Man of high degree, O LORD God.

Now concerning Moses the Man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

• Temple

But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a Man of war, and hast shed blood.

• Priest

And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful Man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment.

• Covenant

Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a Man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

• Priest

And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the Man of God commanded.

But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the Man of God, saying,

That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether Man or woman.

But there came a Man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.

Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the Man of God.

And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a Man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;

• Hanani
• Obedience

That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful Man, and feared God above many.

And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the Man of God, ward over against ward.

• Cymbal

And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the Man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.

• Job
• Perfection

There was a Man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that Man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

Behold, happy is the Man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

I know it is so of a truth: but how should Man be just with God?

I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright Man is laughed to scorn.

This is the portion of a wicked Man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

How then can Man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

This is the portion of a wicked Man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

{To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.} Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty Man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

• Happiness

Lo, this is the Man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

{To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.} Be merciful unto me, O God: for Man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel Man.

{A Prayer of Moses the Man of God.} Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and Man.

The righteous Man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of Man to be exercised therewith.

There is nothing better for a Man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I? For God giveth to a Man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

For God giveth to a Man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

And also that every Man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

Every Man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.

A Man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that Man should find nothing after him.

Then I commended mirth, because a Man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.

Then I beheld all the work of God, that a Man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a Man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise Man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no Man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.

Rejoice, O young Man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of Man.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon Man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the Man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,

And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every Man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.

Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This Man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.

And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a Man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:

Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a Man to stand before me for ever.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no Man dwelleth therein,

Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you Man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;

Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any Man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord God liveth.

Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord God of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every Man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.

As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no Man abide there, neither shall any son of Man dwell therein.

And thou, son of Man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off Man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

• Pride
• Self-exaltation

Son of Man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a Man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

• Self-exaltation

Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a Man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.

Son of Man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

And, thou son of Man, thus saith the Lord God; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.

• Blood

And he said unto me, Son of Man, thus saith the Lord God; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no Man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.

• Flattery
• Rulers

All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellers, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or Man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every Man that shall ask a petition of any God or Man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

• Idolatry

He hath shewed thee, O Man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

• Race

Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every Man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

• Church

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich Man to enter into the kingdom of God.

• Pharisees
• Deception
• Irony

And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any Man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a Man should cast seed into the ground;

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich Man to enter into the kingdom of God.

And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no Man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

And Jesus said unto him, No Man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God:

• Gospel

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every Man presseth into it.

For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich Man to enter into the kingdom of God.

• Prayer
• Thankfulness

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no Man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

Hereafter shall the Son of Man sit on the right hand of the power of God.

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of Man, but of God.

No Man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

• Wisdom

Jesus answered, Neither hath this Man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This Man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a Man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any Man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

If this Man were not of God, he could do nothing.

Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a Man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

• Miracles

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this Man stand here before you whole.

And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.

To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This Man is the great power of God.

• Armies

And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just Man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

• Flattery

And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a God, and not of a Man.

• Converts

Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent Man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a Man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and Man's device.

I am verily a Man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

• Angel

And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this Man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.

• Animals
• Idolatry

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible Man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

• Punishment

And thinkest thou this, O Man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a Man)

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the Man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one Man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

For I delight in the law of God after the inward Man:

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any Man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every Man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every Man the measure of faith.

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that Man who eateth with offence. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of Man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

For what Man knoweth the things of a Man, save the spirit of Man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no Man, but the Spirit of God.

But the natural Man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every Man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

• Church

If any Man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

• CHRIST

Let a Man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

• Darkness

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every Man have praise of God.

For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every Man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

• Wisdom

But if any Man love God, the same is known of him.

But I would have you know, that the head of every Man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the Man; and the head of Christ is God.

For a Man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the Man.

For as the woman is of the Man, even so is the Man also by the woman; but all things of God.

But if any Man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

Wherefore I give you to understand, that no Man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no Man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every Man's conscience in the sight of God.

Every Man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

• Paul
• PARADISE

I knew a Man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a Man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a Man to utter.

And I knew such a Man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

• Galatians
• Backsliders
• Bigotry

Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by Man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: read more To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any Man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after Man. For I neither received it of Man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; show less

But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no Man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

But that no Man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect Man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

• Heaven

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous Man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

• Deceit

Let no Man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

(For if a Man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

But thou, O Man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

That the Man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward Man appeared,

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every Man.

• Call

And no Man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

• Atonement

But this Man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Looking diligently lest any Man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

Let no Man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any Man:

For the wrath of Man worketh not the righteousness of God.

But let it be the hidden Man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

• Holy
• Heart

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every Man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

• Steward

As every Man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

• Faithfulness

If any Man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any Man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of Man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

• Iron

And she brought forth a Man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no Man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

• BOOK

For I testify unto every Man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any Man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any Man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

• BOOK

And if any Man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
