Gloria Copeland — His Words Are Health And Life

Gloria Copeland

Galatians 3:5
KJV—He therefore that ministereth to you
the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you,
doeth he it by the works of the law, or by
the hearing of faith?

Amp—Then does He Who supplies you
with His marvelous (Holy) Spirit, and works
powerfully and miraculously among you, [do
so on the grounds of your doing] what the
Law demands, or because of your believing
and adhering to and trusting in and relying
on the message that you heard?

Moffatt—When He supplies you with the
Spirit and works miracles among you, is it
because you do what the Law commands or
because you believe the gospel message?

NEB—I ask then: when God gives you
the Spirit and works miracles among you,
why is this? Is it because you keep the
law, or is it because you have faith in the
gospel message?

Proverbs 4:20-24
KJV—My son, attend to my words; incline
thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not
depart from thine eyes; keep them in the
midst of thine heart. For they are life unto
those that find them, and health to all their
flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for
out of it are the issues of life. Put away from
thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put
far from thee.

Amp—My son, attend to my words; consent
and submit to my sayings. Let them
not depart from your sight; keep them in
the center of your heart. For they are life to
those who find them, healing and health to
all their flesh. Keep your heart with all vigilance
and above all that you guard, for out
of it flow the springs of life. Put away from
you false and dishonest speech, and willful
and contrary talk put far from you.

Moffatt—My son, attend to what I say,
bend your ear to my words; never lose
sight of them, but fix them in your mind;
to those who find them, they are life, and
health to all their being. Guard above all
things, guard your inner self, for so you live
and prosper; bar out all talk of evil, and
banish wayward words.

NEB—My son, attend to my speech, pay
heed to my words; do not let them slip out
of your mind, keep them close in your heart;
for they are life to him who finds them, and
health to his whole body. Guard your heart
more than any treasure, for it is the source
of all life. Keep your mouth from crooked
speech and your lips from deceitful talk.

Gloria Copeland — Paul Prays for The Suffering

Gloria Copeland

Acts 19:11-12
KJV—And God wrought special miracles
by the hands of Paul: So that from his body
were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs
or aprons, and the diseases departed from
them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

Amp—And God did unusual and extraordinary
miracles by the hands of Paul, So that
handkerchiefs or towels or aprons which
had touched his skin were carried away and
put upon the sick, and their diseases
left them, and the evil spirits came out of them.

Moffatt—God also worked no ordinary
miracles by means of Paul; people even
carried away towels or aprons he had used,
and at their touch sick folk were freed from
their diseases and evil spirits came out
of them.

NEB—And through Paul God worked singular
miracles: when handkerchiefs and
scarves which had been in contact with his
skin were carried to the sick, they were rid
of their diseases and the evil spirits came
out of them.

Acts 28:8-9
KJV—And it came to pass, that the father
of Publius lay sick of a fever and of
a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in,
and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and
healed him. So when this was done, others
also, which had diseases in the island, came,
and were healed.

Amp—And it happened that the father
of Publius was sick in bed with recurring
attacks of fever and dysentery; and Paul
went to see him, and after praying and
laying his hands on him he healed him. After
this had occurred, the other people on the
island who had diseases also kept coming
and were cured.

Moffatt—His father, it so happened, was laid
up with fever and dysentery, but Paul went
in to see him and after prayer laid his hands
on him and cured him. When this had happened,
the rest of the sick folk in the island
also came and got cured.

NEB—It so happened that this man’s father
was in bed suffering from recurrent bouts of
fever and dysentery. Paul visited him and,
after prayer, laid his hands upon him and
healed him; whereupon the other sick people
on the island came also and were cured.

Gloria Copeland — The Disciples Demonstrated Healing

Gloria Copeland

Acts 5:12-16
KJV—And by the hands of the apostles
were many signs and wonders wrought
among the people; (and they were all with
one accord in Solomon’s porch. And of the
rest durst no man join himself to them: but
the people magnified them. And believers
were the more added to the Lord, multitudes
both of men and women.)

Insomuch that they brought forth the sick
into the streets, and laid them on beds and
couches, that at the least the shadow of
Peter passing by might overshadow some
of them. There came also a multitude out
of the cities round about unto Jerusalem,
bringing sick folks, and them which were
vexed with unclean spirits: and they were
healed every one.

Amp—Now by the hands of the apostles
(special messengers) numerous and startling
signs and wonders were being performed
among the people. And by common consent
they all met together [at the temple] in
the porch or covered walk called Solomon’s.
And none of those who were not of their
number dared to join and associate with
them, but the people held them in high
regard and praised and made much of them.
More and more there were being added to
the Lord those who believed—[that is,] those
who acknowledged Jesus as their Savior
and devoted themselves to Him, joined and
gathered with them—crowds both of men
and of women.

So that they [even] kept carrying out the
sick into the streets and placing them on
couches and sleeping pads, [in the hope]
that as Peter passed by at least his shadow
might fall on some of them. And the people
gathered also from the towns and hamlets
around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and
those troubled with foul spirits, and they
were all cured.

Moffatt—Now they all without exception
met in the portico of Solomon. Though
the people extolled them, not a soul from
the outside dared to join them. On the
other hand, crowds of men and women
who believed in the Lord were brought
in. Many miracles and wonders were performed
among the people by the apostles.
In fact, invalids were actually carried into
the streets and laid on beds and mattresses,
so that, when Peter passed, his shadow at
anyrate might fall on one or other of them.
Crowds gathered even from the towns near
Jerusalem, bringing invalids and people
troubled with unclean spirits, all of whom
were healed.

Acts 8:5-8
KJV—Then Philip went down to the city of
Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
And the people with one accord gave heed
unto those things which Philip spake, hearing
and seeing the miracles which he did.
For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice,
came out of many that were possessed
with them: and many taken with palsies,
and that were lame, were healed. And there
was great joy in that city.

Amp—Philip [the deacon, not the apostle]
went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed
the Christ, the Messiah, to them [the
people]; And great crowds of people with one
accord listened to and heeded what was said
by Philip, as they heard him and watched the
miracles and wonders which he kept performing
[from time to time]. For foul spirits came
out of many who were possessed by them,
screaming and shouting with a loud voice, and
many who were suffering from palsy or were
crippled were restored to health. And there
was great rejoicing in that city.

NEB—Philip came down to a city in Samaria
and began proclaiming the Messiah to them.
The crowds, to a man, listened eagerly
to what Philip said, when they heard him and
saw the miracles that he performed. For
in many cases of possession the unclean
spirits came out with a loud cry; and many
paralysed and crippled folk were cured; and
there was great joy in that city.
