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.

Matthew 9:37Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.Acts 11:2So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers took issue with him Acts 18:7So Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titus Justus, a worshiper of God.Colossians 4:7Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a beloved brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord.Philemon 1:1Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker,2 Corinthians 7:6–7But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,2 Corinthians 6:1As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.Romans 4:12And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.Titus 1:10For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,1 Thessalonians 3:2We sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,Acts 10:45All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.Philemon 1:24as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.1 Thessalonians 3:7For this reason, brothers, in all our distress and persecution, we have been reassured about you, because of your faith.Ephesians 2:11Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)—Philippians 4:3Yes, and I ask you, my true yokefellow, to help these women who have labored with me for the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.1 Corinthians 3:5–9What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.Galatians 2:7–8On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted to preach the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.2 Timothy 1:14Guard the treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
