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.

Luke 11:9So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.1 John 2:17The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever.Luke 7:29All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.Luke 7:37–50When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.Hebrews 10:36You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.Matthew 7:21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.Proverbs 26:12Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.Matthew 12:28But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.James 2:25In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the spies and sent them off on another route?Luke 7:37When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.Romans 9:30–33What then will we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;1 Timothy 1:13–16I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man; yet because I had acted in ignorance and unbelief, I was shown mercy.2 Peter 3:9The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.Matthew 20:16So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”Romans 3:19Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.Romans 5:20The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,Matthew 10:7As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’Mark 10:31But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
