Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

1 Timothy 4:13Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, and to teaching.1 Corinthians 14:12It is the same with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, strive to excel in gifts that build up the church.Jude 1:20But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,2 Timothy 4:2Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.Ephesians 6:22I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.Titus 1:9He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.Romans 14:19So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.1 Corinthians 14:26What then shall we say, brothers?
