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.

- 1 Peter 2:16
  Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

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.

Judges 9:29If only this people were under my authority, I would remove Abimelech; I would say to him, ‘Muster your army and come out!’”1 Samuel 8:3But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside toward dishonest gain, accepting bribes and perverting justice.2 Peter 2:19They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to depravity. For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.Judges 9:1–5Now Abimelech son of Jerubbaal went to his mother’s brothers at Shechem and said to them and to all the clan of his mother,Luke 14:8–11“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.Proverbs 27:2Let another praise you, and not your own mouth—a stranger, and not your own lips.Proverbs 25:6Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of great men;
