Luke 1:78Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,Acts 1:18Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.2 Corinthians 6:12Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.2 Corinthians 7:15And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.Philippians 1:8For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.Philippians 2:1If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,Colossians 3:12Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;Philemon 1:7For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.Philemon 1:12Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:Philemon 1:20Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
