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.

Job 15:6Your own mouth, not mine, condemns you; your own lips testify against you.Luke 18:14I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”Acts 13:39Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.1 Corinthians 4:4My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who judges me.Job 34:35‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’Philippians 3:12–15Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.Psalms 143:2Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.Job 15:5–6For your iniquity instructs your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.Job 4:17‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God, or a man more pure than his Maker?Job 9:2“Yes, I know that it is so, but how can a mortal be righteous before God?Psalms 130:3If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?Job 32:1–2So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.Job 13:18Behold, now that I have prepared my case, I know that I will be vindicated.Luke 16:15So He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts.
