6 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “things” →
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
