because Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, {because} thou canst not make one hair white or black. because {Because} strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. because I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, {because} thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. because The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: {because} they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here. because Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, {because} they had no deepness of earth: because And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and {because} they had no root, they withered away. because {Because} it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. because Therefore speak I to them in parables: {because} they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. because Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth {because} of the word, by and by he is offended. because I have compassion on the multitude, {because} they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. because O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, {because} ye have brought no bread? because {Because} of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. because Woe unto the world {because} of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! because Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, {because} thou desiredst me: because Moses {because} of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. because They say unto him, {Because} no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, [that] shall ye receive. because Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, {because} I am good? because Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! {because} ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, because And {because} iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. because All ye shall be offended {because} of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. because And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, {because} it had no depth of earth: because But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and {because} it had no root, it withered away. because But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, {because} the harvest is come. because {Because} it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? because I have compassion on the multitude, {because} they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: because Why reason ye, {because} ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened? because For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, {because} ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. because Do ye not therefore err, {because} ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? because All ye shall be offended {because} of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. because The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, {because} he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liber ty them that are bruised, because And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, {because} it lacked moisture. because Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, {because} your names are written in heaven. because I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet {because} of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. because I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, {because} he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. because If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? {because} ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. because And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, {because} I have no room where to bestow my fruits? because Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, {because} they suffered such things? because And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, {because} he hath received him safe and sound. because And the lord commended the unjust steward, {because} he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. because Doth he thank that servant {because} he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. because Yet {because} this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. because And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: {because} thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. because For I feared thee, {because} thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. because And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus shall ye say unto him, {Because} the Lord hath need of him. because And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; {because} thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. because {Because} I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. because He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, {because} he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. because And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, {because} their deeds were evil. because And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, {because} he is the Son of man. because 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. because Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not {because} ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. because Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but {because} ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. because The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, {because} I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. because Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; not {because} it is of Moses, but of the fathers; and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. because If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, {because} I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? because I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, {because} my word hath no place in you. because Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] {because} ye cannot hear my word. because Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, {because} there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. because And {because} I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not. because He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear [them] not, {because} ye are not of God. because The hireling fleeth, {because} he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. because Therefore doth my Father love me, {because} I lay down my life, that I might take it again. because But ye believe not, {because} ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. because Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; {because} I said, I am the Son of God? because Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, {because} he seeth the light of this world. because But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, {because} there is no light in him. because And I knew that thou hearest me always: but {because} of the people which stand by I said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me. because This voice came not {because} of me, but for your sakes. because Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; {because} I go unto my Father. because [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, {because} it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. because Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: {because} I live, ye shall live also. because Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, {because} I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. because If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but {because} ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. because But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, {because} they know not him that sent me. because And ye also shall bear witness, {because} ye have been with me from the beginning. because And these things will they do unto you, {because} they have not known the Father, nor me. because But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, {because} I was with you. because But {because} I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. because Of sin, {because} they believe not on me; because Of righteousness, {because} I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; because Of judgment, {because} the prince of this world is judged. because A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, {because} I go to the Father. because A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, {because} her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. because For the Father himself loveth you, {because} ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. because Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, {because} the Father is with me. because I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, {because} they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. because Thomas, {because} thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed. because Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, {because} thou hast left thy first love. because But I have a few things against thee, {because} thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornicati on. because Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, {because} thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. because {Because} thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. because So then {because} thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. because {Because} thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: ~~~~~~
