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.

Romans 3:20Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.Matthew 7:14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.1 Corinthians 1:23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,Luke 7:23Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”Romans 4:4Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.Romans 11:11I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.1 Peter 2:8and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word—and to this they were appointed.Romans 4:16Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.Luke 2:34Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,Acts 16:30–34Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”John 6:27–29Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”Matthew 13:57And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”Romans 10:3Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.Romans 2:17Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;1 John 5:9–12Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son.Matthew 19:16–20Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”Isaiah 8:15Many will stumble over these; they will fall and be broken; they will be ensnared and captured.”Romans 3:27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.
