rkjnt - Romans:8-10

rkjnt@Romans:8:1 @ Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

rkjnt@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

rkjnt@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, as an offering for sin; condemning sin in the flesh:

rkjnt@Romans:8:4 @ That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk in the ways of the flesh, but in the ways of the Spirit.

rkjnt@Romans:8:5 @ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

rkjnt@Romans:8:6 @ Now the mind set on the flesh is death; but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace.

rkjnt@Romans:8:7 @ Because the mind set on the flesh is hostile to God: for it is not subject to the law of God, indeed it cannot be.

rkjnt@Romans:8:8 @ So then those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

rkjnt@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.

rkjnt@Romans:8:10 @ And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is alive because of righteousness.

rkjnt@Romans:8:11 @ And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies by his Spirit who dwells in you.

rkjnt@Romans:8:12 @ Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, but not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

rkjnt@Romans:8:13 @ For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if through the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.

rkjnt@Romans:8:14 @ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God.

rkjnt@Romans:8:15 @ For you have not received a spirit of bondage leading to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry out, Abba, Father.

rkjnt@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

rkjnt@Romans:8:17 @ And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him that we may also be glorified with him.

rkjnt@Romans:8:18 @ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us.

rkjnt@Romans:8:19 @ For the creation waits in earnest expectation for the revealing of the sons of God.

rkjnt@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was made subject to futility, not of its own will, but by the will of him who subjected it, in hope,

rkjnt@Romans:8:21 @ That the creation itself shall also be delivered from its bondage to corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

rkjnt@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that the whole creation groans in the pains of childbirth until now.

rkjnt@Romans:8:23 @ And not only the creation, but ourselves as well, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

rkjnt@Romans:8:24 @ For we are saved by this hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what man hopes for what he sees?

rkjnt@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for what we do not see, then we wait for it with patience.

rkjnt@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness: for we do not know how to pray as we ought: but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

rkjnt@Romans:8:27 @ And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

rkjnt@Romans:8:28 @ And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose.

rkjnt@Romans:8:29 @ For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

rkjnt@Romans:8:30 @ And whom he predestined, those he also called: and whom he called, those he also justified: and whom he justified, those he also glorified.

rkjnt@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

rkjnt@Romans:8:32 @ He who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also, with him, freely give us all things?

rkjnt@Romans:8:33 @ Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.

rkjnt@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn? It is Christ who died, yes, and more than that, who was raised again, who is at the right hand of God, and who also intercedes for us.

rkjnt@Romans:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

rkjnt@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.

rkjnt@Romans:8:37 @ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

rkjnt@Romans:8:38 @ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

rkjnt@Romans:8:39 @ Nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

rkjnt@Romans:9:1 @ I speak the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,

rkjnt@Romans:9:2 @ That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

rkjnt@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish that I myself were accursed, cut off from Christ, for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

rkjnt@Romans:9:4 @ They are the Israelites; to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the temple worship, and the promises;

rkjnt@Romans:9:5 @ To them belong the fathers, and from them, according to the flesh, came Christ, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

rkjnt@Romans:9:6 @ But it is not as though the word of God has had no effect. For they are not all Israel, who are descended from Israel:

rkjnt@Romans:9:7 @ Nor are they all the children of Abraham because they are descended from him: but, Through Isaac shall your descendants be named.

rkjnt@Romans:9:8 @ That is, It is not those who are the children of the flesh who are the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.

rkjnt@Romans:9:9 @ For this is the word of the promise, At this time I will come, and Sarah shall have a son.

rkjnt@Romans:9:10 @ And not only this; but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our father Isaac;

rkjnt@Romans:9:11 @ (Though they were not yet born, and had done nothing good or evil, in order that the purpose of God according to his choice might stand, not because of works, but because of him who calls;)

rkjnt@Romans:9:12 @ It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.

rkjnt@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written, Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.

rkjnt@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Not at all.

rkjnt@Romans:9:15 @ For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

rkjnt@Romans:9:16 @ So then it does not depend on him who wills or runs, but on God who shows mercy.

rkjnt@Romans:9:17 @ For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

rkjnt@Romans:9:18 @ Therefore, he has mercy on whom he will have mercy, and he hardens whomever he wills.

rkjnt@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me, Why then does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?

rkjnt@Romans:9:20 @ But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Shall the thing formed say to the one who formed it, Why have you made me this way?

rkjnt@Romans:9:21 @ Does not the potter have the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for noble use, and another for common use?

rkjnt@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, desiring to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with great patience the vessels of wrath made for destruction:

rkjnt@Romans:9:23 @ That he might make known the riches of his glory to the vessels of mercy, which he had prepared beforehand for glory,

rkjnt@Romans:9:24 @ Even us, whom he has called, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the Gentiles?

rkjnt@Romans:9:25 @ As he says also in Hosea, I will call them my people, who were not my people; and call her beloved, who was not beloved.

rkjnt@Romans:9:26 @ And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God.

rkjnt@Romans:9:27 @ Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel, Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant shall be saved:

rkjnt@Romans:9:28 @ For the Lord will execute his sentence upon the earth with speed and finality.

rkjnt@Romans:9:29 @ And as Isaiah said beforehand, Unless the Lord of hosts had left us descendants, we would have become as Sodom, and been made like Gomorrah.

rkjnt@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, the righteousness which is by faith;

rkjnt@Romans:9:31 @ But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not fulfilled that law.

rkjnt@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone;

rkjnt@Romans:9:33 @ As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone, a rock that will make them fall: but whoever believes in him shall never be put to shame.

rkjnt@Romans:10:1 @ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they might be saved.

rkjnt@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

rkjnt@Romans:10:3 @ For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.

rkjnt@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the law, so that there may be righteousness for every one who believes.

rkjnt@Romans:10:5 @ Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, The man who practices these things shall live by them.

rkjnt@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness which is by faith speaks in this way, Do not say in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

rkjnt@Romans:10:7 @ Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)

rkjnt@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? The word is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

rkjnt@Romans:10:9 @ That if you shall confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

rkjnt@Romans:10:10 @ For with the heart man believes and is made righteous; and with the mouth confesses and is saved.

rkjnt@Romans:10:11 @ For the scripture says, Whoever believes in him shall not be put to shame.

rkjnt@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord is Lord over all, bestowing his riches on all who call upon him.

rkjnt@Romans:10:13 @ For whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

rkjnt@Romans:10:14 @ But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

rkjnt@Romans:10:15 @ And how shall they preach, unless they are sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things!

rkjnt@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?

rkjnt@Romans:10:17 @ So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

rkjnt@Romans:10:18 @ But I say, Have they not heard? Yes truly, for: Their voice went into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

rkjnt@Romans:10:19 @ But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, by a foolish nation I will anger you.

rkjnt@Romans:10:20 @ And Isaiah is very bold, saying, I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.

rkjnt@Romans:10:21 @ But to Israel he says, All day long I have stretched forth my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.

rkjnt@Romans:11:1 @ I say then, Has God cast away his people? By no means. For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
