4: 48Therefore (oun) Jesus said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe."
4: 52Therefore (oun) he asked them the hour when he began to recover, and they therefore (oun) said to him, "Yesterday at one in the afternoon the fever left him."
4: 53Therefore (oun) the father realized that this was the hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." So he himself believed, along with his whole household.
5: 10Therefore (oun) the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your mat."

6: 11Therefore (oun) Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; then also the fish, as much as they wanted.
6: 13Therefore (oun) they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets.
6: 14Therefore (oun) when the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, "This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world."

6: 21Therefore (oun) they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land toward which they were going.
6: 24Therefore (oun) when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.
6: 28Therefore (oun) they said to him, "What must we do to perform the works of God?"
6: 30Therefore (oun) they said to him, "What sign are you going to give us therefore (oun), so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing?
6: 32Therefore (oun) Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
6: 34They said therefore (oun) to him, "Sir, give us this bread always."
6: 41Therefore (oun) the Jews began to complain about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."
6: 52The Jews therefore (oun) disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
6: 53Therefore (oun) Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
6: 60Therefore (oun) when many of his disciples heard it, they said, "This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?"
6: 62Therefore (oun) what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
6: 67Therefore (oun) Jesus asked the twelve, "Do you also wish to go away?"
7: 3Therefore (oun) his brothers said to him, "Leave here and go to Judea so that your disciples also may see the works you are doing;
7: 6Jesus said therefore (oun) to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always here.
7: 11Therefore (oun) the Jews were looking for him at the festival and saying, "Where is he?"
7: 15The Jews were therefore (oun) astonished at it, saying, "How does this man have such learning, when he has never been taught?"
7: 16Therefore (oun) Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine but his who sent me.
7: 25Therefore (oun) some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, "Is not this the man whom they are trying to kill?
7: 28Therefore (oun) Jesus cried out as he was teaching in the temple, "You know me, and you know where I am from. I have not come on my own. But the one who sent me is true, and you do not know him.
7: 30Therefore (oun) they tried to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
7: 33Jesus therefore (oun) said, "I will be with you a little while longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.
7: 35The Jews therefore (oun) said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
7: 40Therefore (oun) when they heard these words, some in the crowd said, "This is really the prophet."
7: 43Therefore (oun) there was a division in the crowd because of him.
7: 45Therefore (oun) the temple police went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why did you not arrest him?"
7: 47Therefore (oun) the Pharisees replied, "Surely you have not been deceived too, have you?
8: 5Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Therefore (oun) what do you say?"
8: 12Therefore (oun) Jesus spoke again to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life."
8: 13Therefore (oun) the Pharisees said to him, "You are testifying on your own behalf; your testimony is not valid."
8: 19Therefore (oun) they said to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
8: 21Therefore (oun) he said again to them, "I am going away, and you will search for me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come."
8: 22Therefore (oun) the Jews said, "Is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means by saying, 'Where I am going, you cannot come'?"
8: 24I told you therefore (oun) that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he."
8: 25They said therefore (oun) to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Why do I speak to you at all?
8: 28Therefore (oun) Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own, but I speak these things as the Father instructed me.
8: 31Therefore (oun) Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples;
8: 36Therefore (oun) if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
8: 38I declare what I have seen in the Father's presence; therefore (oun) as for you, you should do what you have heard from the Father."
8: 41You are indeed doing what your father does." They said therefore (oun) to him, "We are not illegitimate children; we have one father, God himself."
8: 52The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and therefore (oun) did the prophets; yet you say, 'Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.'
8: 57Therefore (oun) the Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
8: 59Therefore (oun) they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
9: 7saying to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means Sent). Therefore (oun) he went and washed and came back able to see.
9: 8Therefore (oun) the neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, "Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?"
9: 10Therefore (oun) they kept asking him, "Therefore (oun) how were your eyes opened?"
9: 11He answered, "The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' Therefore (oun) I went and washed and received my sight."
9: 15Therefore (oun) the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see."
9: 16Some of the Pharisees therefore (oun) said, "This man is not from God, for he does not observe the sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?" And they were divided.
9: 17Therefore (oun) they said again to the blind man, "What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened." He said, "He is a prophet."
9: 18Therefore (oun) the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight
9: 19and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How therefore (oun) does he now see?"
9: 20His parents therefore (oun) answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
9: 24Therefore (oun) for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, "Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner."
9: 25He therefore (oun) answered, "I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see."
9: 26They therefore (oun) said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
10: 7Therefore (oun) again Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
10: 24Therefore (oun) the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."
10: 39Therefore (oun) they tried to arrest him again, but he escaped from their hands.
11: 3Therefore (oun) the sisters sent a message to Jesus, "Lord, he whom you love is ill."
11: 6therefore (oun) after having heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.
11: 12The disciples said therefore (oun) to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be all right."
11: 14Therefore (oun) Jesus told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.
11: 16Thomas, who was called the Twin, said therefore (oun) to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."
11: 17Therefore (oun) when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.
11: 20Therefore (oun) when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home.
11: 21Martha therefore (oun) said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
11: 31Therefore (oun) the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go out. They followed her because they thought that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
11: 32Therefore (oun) then Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
11: 33Therefore (oun) when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved.
11: 36Therefore (oun) the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"
11: 38Therefore (oun) Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
11: 41Therefore (oun) they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, "Father, I thank you for having heard me.
11: 45Many of the Jews therefore (oun), who had come with Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.
11: 47Therefore (oun) the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the council, and said, "What are we to do? This man is performing many signs.
11: 53Therefore (oun) from that day on they planned to put him to death.
11: 54Jesus therefore (oun) no longer walked about openly among the Jews, but went from there to a town called Ephraim in the region near the wilderness; and he remained there with the disciples.
11: 56Therefore (oun) they were looking for Jesus and were asking one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think? Surely he will not come to the festival, will he?"
12: 1Therefore (oun) six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
12: 2Therefore (oun) there they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him.
12: 3Therefore (oun) Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
12: 7Jesus therefore (oun) said, "Leave her alone. She bought it so that she might keep it for the day of my burial.
12: 9Therefore (oun) when the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
12: 17Therefore (oun) the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify.
12: 19The Pharisees therefore (oun) said to one another, "You see, you can do nothing. Look, the world has gone after him!"
12: 21Therefore (oun) they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
12: 28Father, glorify your name." Therefore (oun) a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again."
12: 29Therefore (oun) the crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
12: 34The crowd therefore (oun) answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Messiah remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"
12: 35Jesus therefore (oun) said to them, "The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going.
12: 50And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore (oun), I speak just as the Father has told me."
13: 6He came therefore (oun) to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"
13: 12Therefore (oun) after he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?
13: 14Therefore (oun) if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
13: 24Simon Peter therefore (oun) motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking.
13: 25Therefore (oun) while reclining next to Jesus, he asked him, "Lord, who is it?"
13: 26Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish." Therefore (oun) when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.
13: 27After he received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said therefore (oun) to him, "Do quickly what you are going to do."
13: 30Therefore (oun), after receiving the piece of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.
13: 31Therefore (oun) when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
16: 17Therefore (oun) some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean by saying to us, 'A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'; and 'Because I am going to the Father'?"
16: 18They said therefore (oun), "What does he mean by this 'a little while'? We do not know what he is talking about."
16: 22Therefore (oun) you have pain now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
18: 3Therefore (oun) Judas brought a detachment of soldiers together with police from the chief priests and the Pharisees, and they came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
18: 4Therefore (oun) Jesus, knowing all that was to happen to him, came forward and asked them, "Whom are you looking for?"
18: 6Therefore (oun) when Jesus said to them, "I am he," they stepped back and fell to the ground.
18: 7Therefore (oun) he asked again them, "Whom are you looking for?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."
18: 8Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. Therefore (oun) if you are looking for me, let these men go."
18: 10Therefore (oun) Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus.
18: 11Jesus therefore (oun) said to Peter, "Put your sword back into its sheath. Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?"
18: 12Therefore (oun) the soldiers, their officer, and the Jewish police arrested Jesus and bound him.
18: 16but Peter was standing outside at the gate. Therefore (oun) the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, spoke to the woman who guarded the gate, and brought Peter in.
18: 17The woman therefore (oun) said to Peter, "You are not also one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."
18: 19Therefore (oun) the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
18: 24Therefore (oun) Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
18: 25Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They therefore (oun) asked him, "You are not also one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not."
18: 27Therefore (oun) Peter denied it again, and at that moment the cock crowed.
18: 28Therefore (oun) they took Jesus from Caiaphas to Pilate's headquarters. It was early in the morning. They themselves did not enter the headquarters, so as to avoid ritual defilement and to be able to eat the Passover.
18: 29Therefore (oun) Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"
18: 31Pilate therefore (oun) said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law." The Jews replied, "We are not permitted to put anyone to death."
18: 33Therefore (oun) Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
18: 37Pilate asked him, "Therefore (oun) you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."
18: 39But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover. Therefore (oun) do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"
18: 40They shouted therefore (oun) in reply, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a bandit.
19: 1Therefore (oun) Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
19: 5Therefore (oun) Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!"
19: 6Therefore (oun) when the chief priests and the police saw him, they shouted, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him; I find no case against him."
19: 8Therefore (oun) when Pilate heard this, he was more afraid than ever.
19: 10Pilate therefore (oun) said to him, "Do you refuse to speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?"
19: 13Therefore (oun) when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside and sat on the judge's bench at a place called The Stone Pavement, or in Hebrew Gabbatha.
19: 15Therefore (oun) they cried out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" Pilate asked them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but the emperor."
19: 16Therefore (oun) he handed him over to them to be crucified. They therefore (oun) took Jesus;
19: 20Therefore (oun) many of the Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
19: 21Therefore (oun) the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'This man said, I am King of the Jews.'"
19: 23Therefore (oun) when the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier. They also took his tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.
19: 24Therefore (oun) they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see who will get it." This was to fulfill what the scripture says, "They divided my clothes among themselves. So therefore (oun) for my clothing they cast lots."
19: 26Therefore (oun) when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, "Woman, here is your son."
19: 29A jar full of sour wine was standing there. Therefore (oun) they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth.
19: 30When Jesus had received the wine, he said, "It is finished." Therefore (oun) he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
19: 31Since it was the day of Preparation, the Jews did not want the bodies left on the cross during the sabbath, especially because that sabbath was a day of great solemnity. Therefore (oun) they asked Pilate to have the legs of the crucified men broken and the bodies removed.
19: 32Therefore (oun) the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with him.
19: 38After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission; therefore (oun) he came and removed his body.
19: 40Therefore (oun) they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in linen cloths, according to the burial custom of the Jews.
19: 42And therefore (oun), because it was the Jewish day of Preparation, and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
20: 2Therefore (oun) she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him."
20: 3Therefore (oun) Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb.
20: 6Therefore (oun) Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there,
20: 8Therefore (oun) the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;
20: 10Therefore (oun) the disciples returned to their homes.
20: 11But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. Therefore (oun), as she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb;
20: 19Therefore (oun) when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you."
20: 20After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Therefore (oun) the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
20: 21Jesus therefore (oun) said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you."
20: 25Therefore (oun) the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe."
20: 30So therefore (oun) Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book.
21: 5Jesus therefore (oun) said to them, "Children, you have no fish, have you?" They answered him, "No."
21: 6He said to them, "Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some." Therefore (oun) they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in because there were so many fish.
21: 7That disciple whom Jesus loved said therefore (oun) to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on some clothes, for he was naked, and jumped into the sea.
21: 9Therefore (oun) when they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and bread.
21: 11Therefore (oun) Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three of them; and though there were therefore (oun) many, the net was not torn.
21: 15Therefore (oun) when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."
21: 21Therefore (oun) when Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"
21: 23Therefore (oun) the rumor spread in the community that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?"

Acts

1: 6Therefore (oun) when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?"
1: 18(So therefore (oun) this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.
1: 21Therefore (oun) one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
2: 30Since he was therefore (oun) a prophet, he knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would put one of his descendants on his throne.
2: 33Being therefore (oun) exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you both see and hear.
2: 36Therefore (oun) let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified."
2: 41Therefore (oun) those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added.
3: 19Repent therefore (oun), and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out,
5: 41They therefore (oun) left the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.
8: 4Those who were therefore (oun) scattered went from place to place, proclaiming the word.
8: 22Repent therefore (oun) of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.
8: 25Therefore (oun), after Peter and John had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, proclaiming the good news to many villages of the Samaritans.
9: 31Therefore (oun) the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and was built up. Living in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.
10: 23Therefore (oun) Peter invited them in and gave them lodging. The next day he got up and went with them, and some of the believers from Joppa accompanied him.
10: 29Therefore (oun) when I was sent for, I came without objection. Now may I ask why you sent for me?"
10: 32Send therefore (oun) to Joppa and ask for Simon, who is called Peter; he is staying in the home of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.'
10: 33Therefore (oun) I sent for you immediately, and you have been kind enough to come. So therefore (oun) all of us are here in the presence of God to listen to all that the Lord has commanded you to say."
11: 17If therefore (oun) God gave them the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could hinder God?"
11: 19Therefore (oun) those who were scattered because of the persecution that took place over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, and they spoke the word to no one except Jews.
12: 5Therefore (oun) while Peter was kept in prison, the church prayed fervently to God for him.
13: 4Therefore (oun), being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
13: 38Let it be known to you therefore (oun), my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you;
13: 40Beware, therefore (oun), that what the prophets said does not happen to you:
14: 3Therefore (oun) they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace by granting signs and wonders to be done through them.
15: 3Therefore (oun) they were sent on their way by the church, and as they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, they reported the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the believers.
15: 10Now therefore (oun) why are you putting God to the test by placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear?
15: 27We have therefore (oun) sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth.
15: 30Therefore (oun) they were sent off and went down to Antioch. When they gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.
16: 5Therefore (oun) the churches were strengthened in the faith and increased in numbers daily.
16: 36And the jailer reported the message to Paul, saying, "The magistrates sent word to let you go; therefore (oun) come out now and go in peace."
17: 12Many of them therefore (oun) believed, including not a few Greek women and men of high standing.
17: 17Therefore (oun) he argued in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and also in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there.
17: 20It sounds rather strange to us, therefore (oun) we would like to know what it means."
17: 23For as I went through the city and looked carefully at the objects of your worship, I found among them an altar with the inscription, 'To an unknown god.' What therefore (oun) you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.
17: 29Therefore (oun) since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the deity is like gold, or silver, or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of mortals.
17: 30Therefore (oun) while God has overlooked the times of human ignorance, now he commands all people everywhere to repent,
19: 3So he said, "Into what therefore (oun) were you baptized?" They answered, "Into John's baptism."
19: 32Therefore (oun), some were shouting one thing, some another; for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had come together.
19: 36Therefore, (oun) since these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash.
19: 38If therefore (oun) Demetrius and the artisans with him have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring charges there against one another.
21: 22What therefore (oun) is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come.
21: 23Therefore (oun) do what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow.
22: 29Therefore (oun) immediately those who were about to examine him drew back from him; and the tribune also was afraid, for he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had bound him.
23: 15Now therefore (oun), you and the council must notify the tribune to bring him down to you, on the pretext that you want to make a more thorough examination of his case. And we are ready to do away with him before he arrives."
23: 18Therefore (oun) he took him, brought him to the tribune, and said, "The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this young man to you; he has something to tell you."
23: 21Therefore (oun) do not be persuaded by them, for more than forty of their men are lying in ambush for him. They have bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink until they kill him. They are ready now and are waiting for your consent."
23: 22Therefore (oun) the tribune dismissed the young man, ordering him, "Tell no one that you have informed me of this."
23: 31Therefore (oun) the soldiers, according to their instructions, took Paul and brought him during the night to Antipatris.
25: 1Therefore (oun) three days after Festus had arrived in the province, he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem
25: 4Therefore (oun) Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea, and that he himself intended to go there shortly.
25: 5"Therefore (oun)," he said, "let those of you who have the authority come down with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them accuse him."
25: 11Therefore (oun) if I am in the wrong and have committed something for which I deserve to die, I am not trying to escape death; but if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can turn me over to them. I appeal to the emperor."
25: 17Therefore (oun) when they met here, I lost no time, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought.
25: 23Therefore (oun) on the next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp, and they entered the audience hall with the military tribunes and the prominent men of the city. So Festus gave the order and Paul was brought in.
26: 4"So therefore (oun) all the Jews know my way of life from my youth, a life spent from the beginning among my own people and in Jerusalem.
26: 9"Therefore (oun) Indeed, I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
26: 22To this day I have had help from God, and therefore (oun) I stand here, testifying to both small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would take place:
28: 5He, therefore (oun), shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.
28: 20For this reason therefore (oun) I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is for the sake of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain."
28: 28Let it be known to you therefore (oun) that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen."

1 John

1: 8Therefore (oun) we ought to support such people, so that we may become co-workers with the truth.
