«For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live: / But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.»
«For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.»
«For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: / That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.»
«For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; / Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: / Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.»
«For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: / But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; / And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: / That no flesh should glory in his presence.»
«For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.»
«Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: / But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: / Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.»
«But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.»
