Appeal

Now please forgive my sin once more and appeal to the LORD your God, that He may remove this death from me.”

At the end of seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, she went to the king to appeal for her house and her land.

And Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had brought the dead back to life. Just then the woman whose son Elisha had revived came to appeal to the king for her house and her land. So Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is the son Elisha restored to life.”

However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and lay my cause before Him—

I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice—my appeal for mercy.

Philip relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus.

If, however, I am guilty of anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if there is no truth to their accusations against me, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”

But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, even though I have no charge to bring against my nation.

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.

Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.

For not only did he welcome our appeal, but he is eagerly coming to you of his own volition.

Now by the mildness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am humble when face to face with you, but bold when away.

For our appeal does not arise from deceit or ulterior motives or trickery.

Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as to a father. Treat younger men as brothers,

I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.

I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.

As a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings, and a partaker of the glory to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you:

With lofty but empty words, they appeal to the sensual passions of the flesh and entice those who are just escaping from others who live in error.
