Romans:1:1 @ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God
rsv@Romans:1:3 @ the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh
rsv@Romans:1:4 @ and designated Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
rsv@Romans:1:5 @ through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,
rsv@Romans:1:6 @ including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ;
rsv@Romans:1:7 @ To all God's beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
rsv@Romans:1:10 @ asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you.
rsv@Romans:1:11 @ For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,
rsv@Romans:1:13 @ I want you to know, brethren, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.
rsv@Romans:1:14 @ I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish:
rsv@Romans:1:15 @ so I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
rsv@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel: it is the power of God for salvation to every one who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
rsv@Romans:1:19 @ For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
rsv@Romans:1:21 @ for although they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened.
rsv@Romans:1:22 @ Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
rsv@Romans:1:24 @ Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
rsv@Romans:1:25 @ because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen.
rsv@Romans:1:26 @ For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural,
rsv@Romans:1:28 @ And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a base mind and to improper conduct.
rsv@Romans:1:29 @ They were filled with all manner of wickedness, evil, covetousness, malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity, they are gossips,
rsv@Romans:1:30 @ slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
rsv@Romans:1:32 @ Though they know God's decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them but approve those who practice them.
rsv@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you presume upon the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not know that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
rsv@Romans:2:5 @ But by your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
rsv@Romans:2:6 @ For he will render to every man according to his works:
rsv@Romans:2:7 @ to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;
rsv@Romans:2:14 @ When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.
rsv@Romans:2:16 @ on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.
rsv@Romans:2:17 @ But if you call yourself a Jew and rely upon the law and boast of your relation to God
rsv@Romans:2:19 @ and if you are sure that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
rsv@Romans:2:20 @ a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth--
rsv@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews are entrusted with the oracles of God.
rsv@Romans:3:5 @ But if our wickedness serves to show the justice of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)
rsv@Romans:3:7 @ But if through my falsehood God's truthfulness abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?
rsv@Romans:3:12 @ All have turned aside, together they have gone wrong; no one does good, not even one."
rsv@Romans:3:13 @ "Their throat is an open grave, they use their tongues to deceive." "The venom of asps is under their lips."
rsv@Romans:3:15 @ "Their feet are swift to shed blood,
rsv@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
rsv@Romans:3:21 @ But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from law, although the law and the prophets bear witness to it,
rsv@Romans:3:25 @ whom God put forward as an expiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins;
rsv@Romans:3:26 @ it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies him who has faith in Jesus.
rsv@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say about Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh?
rsv@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
rsv@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness."
rsv@Romans:4:4 @ Now to one who works, his wages are not reckoned as a gift but as his due.
rsv@Romans:4:5 @ And to one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.
rsv@Romans:4:6 @ So also David pronounces a blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:
rsv@Romans:4:9 @ Is this blessing pronounced only upon the circumcised, or also upon the uncircumcised? We say that faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.
rsv@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it reckoned to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised.
rsv@Romans:4:11 @ He received circumcision as a sign or seal of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised and who thus have righteousness reckoned to them,
rsv@Romans:4:13 @ The promise to Abraham and his descendants, that they should inherit the world, did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.
rsv@Romans:4:14 @ If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void.
rsv@Romans:4:16 @ That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants-- not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all,
rsv@Romans:4:17 @ as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations" --in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.
rsv@Romans:4:18 @ In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations; as he had been told, "So shall your descendants be."
rsv@Romans:4:20 @ No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God,
rsv@Romans:4:21 @ fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.
rsv@Romans:4:22 @ That is why his faith was "reckoned to him as righteousness."
rsv@Romans:4:23 @ But the words, "it was reckoned to him," were written not for his sake alone,
rsv@Romans:4:24 @ but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him that raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,
rsv@Romans:4:25 @ who was put to death for our trespasses and raised for our justification.
rsv@Romans:5:2 @ Through him we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God.
rsv@Romans:5:5 @ and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.
rsv@Romans:5:7 @ Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man--though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die.
rsv@Romans:5:10 @ For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
rsv@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned--
rsv@Romans:5:14 @ Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
rsv@Romans:5:18 @ Then as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man's act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men.
rsv@Romans:5:20 @ Law came in, to increase the trespass; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,
rsv@Romans:5:21 @ so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
rsv@Romans:6:1 @ What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?
rsv@Romans:6:2 @ By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
rsv@Romans:6:3 @ Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
rsv@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
rsv@Romans:6:6 @ We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the sinful body might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.
rsv@Romans:6:10 @ The death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God.
rsv@Romans:6:11 @ So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
rsv@Romans:6:12 @ Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions.
rsv@Romans:6:13 @ Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
rsv@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!
rsv@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
rsv@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,
rsv@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once yielded your members to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your members to righteousness for sanctification.
rsv@Romans:6:20 @ When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
rsv@Romans:7:1 @ Do you not know, brethren--for I am speaking to those who know the law--that the law is binding on a person only during his life?
rsv@Romans:7:2 @ Thus a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies she is discharged from the law concerning the husband.
rsv@Romans:7:4 @ Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God.
rsv@Romans:7:5 @ While we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.
rsv@Romans:7:6 @ But now we are discharged from the law, dead to that which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit.
rsv@Romans:7:7 @ What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet, if it had not been for the law, I should not have known sin. I should not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, "You shall not covet."
rsv@Romans:7:8 @ But sin, finding opportunity in the commandment, wrought in me all kinds of covetousness. Apart from the law sin lies dead.
rsv@Romans:7:10 @ the very commandment which promised life proved to be death to me.
rsv@Romans:7:13 @ Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, working death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.
rsv@Romans:7:21 @ So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand.
rsv@Romans:7:23 @ but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members.
rsv@Romans:7:25 @ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
rsv@Romans:8:4 @ in order that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
rsv@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.
rsv@Romans:8:6 @ To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
rsv@Romans:8:7 @ For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, indeed it cannot;
rsv@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
rsv@Romans:8:11 @ If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you.
rsv@Romans:8:12 @ So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh--
rsv@Romans:8:13 @ for if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.
rsv@Romans:8:15 @ For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, "Abba! Father!"
rsv@Romans:8:18 @ I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
rsv@Romans:8:20 @ for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope;
rsv@Romans:8:21 @ because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God.
rsv@Romans:8:22 @ We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now;
rsv@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 sighs too deep for words.
rsv@Romans:8:27 @ And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
rsv@Romans:8:28 @ We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.
rsv@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren.
rsv@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us?
rsv@Romans:8:34 @ who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us?
rsv@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written, "For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."
rsv@Romans:8:38 @ For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
rsv@Romans:8:39 @ nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
rsv@Romans:9:4 @ They are Israelites, and to them belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises;
rsv@Romans:9:5 @ to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ. God who is over all be blessed for ever. Amen.
rsv@Romans:9:6 @ But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel,
rsv@Romans:9:12 @ she was told, "The elder will serve the younger."
rsv@Romans:9:15 @ For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
rsv@Romans:9:17 @ For the scripture says to Pharaoh, "I have raised you up for the very purpose of showing my power in you, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth."
rsv@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?"
rsv@Romans:9:20 @ But who are you, a man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me thus?"
rsv@Romans:9:21 @ Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for beauty and another for menial use?
rsv@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience the vessels of wrath made for destruction,
rsv@Romans:9:23 @ in order to make known the riches of his glory for the vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory,
rsv@Romans:9:26 @ "And in the very place where it was said to them, `You are not my people,' they will be called `sons of the living God.'"
rsv@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they did not pursue it through faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone,
rsv@Romans:9:33 @ as it is written, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone that will make men stumble, a rock that will make them fall; and he who believes in him will not be put to shame."
rsv@Romans:10:1 @ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.
rsv@Romans:10:3 @ For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
rsv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness based on faith says, Do not say in your heart, "Who will ascend into heaven?" (that is, to bring Christ down)
rsv@Romans:10:7 @ or "Who will descend into the abyss?" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
rsv@Romans:10:11 @ The scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame."
rsv@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches upon all who call upon him.
rsv@Romans:10:14 @ But how are men to call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?
rsv@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."
rsv@Romans:10:20 @ Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, "I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me."
rsv@Romans:10:21 @ But of Israel he says, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people."
rsv@Romans:11:4 @ But what is God's reply to him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Ba'al."
rsv@Romans:11:5 @ So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.
rsv@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel failed to obtain what it sought. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened,
rsv@Romans:11:8 @ as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that should not see and ears that should not hear, down to this very day."
rsv@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? By no means! But through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.
rsv@Romans:11:13 @ Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry
rsv@Romans:11:14 @ in order to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them.
rsv@Romans:11:17 @ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place to share the richness of the olive tree,
rsv@Romans:11:22 @ Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off.
rsv@Romans:11:23 @ And even the others, if they do not persist in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.
rsv@Romans:11:24 @ For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree.
rsv@Romans:11:25 @ Lest you be wise in your own conceits, I want you to understand this mystery, brethren: a hardening has come upon part of Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles come in,
rsv@Romans:11:30 @ Just as you were once disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,
rsv@Romans:11:31 @ so they have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may receive mercy.
rsv@Romans:11:32 @ For God has consigned all men to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.
rsv@Romans:11:35 @ "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?"
rsv@Romans:11:36 @ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory for ever. Amen.
rsv@Romans:12:1 @ I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
rsv@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
rsv@Romans:12:3 @ For by the grace given to me I bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him.
rsv@Romans:12:6 @ Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;
rsv@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good;
rsv@Romans:12:13 @ Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality.
rsv@Romans:12:19 @ Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord."
rsv@Romans:13:1 @ Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
rsv@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of him who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval,
rsv@Romans:13:4 @ for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is the servant of God to execute his wrath on the wrongdoer.
rsv@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore one must be subject, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.
rsv@Romans:13:6 @ For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing.
rsv@Romans:13:7 @ Pay all of them their dues, taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
rsv@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
rsv@Romans:13:10 @ Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
rsv@Romans:13:11 @ Besides this you know what hour it is, how it is full time now for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed;
rsv@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
rsv@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Master is able to make him stand.
rsv@Romans:14:6 @ He who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. He also who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.
rsv@Romans:14:7 @ None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.
rsv@Romans:14:8 @ If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.
rsv@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
rsv@Romans:14:11 @ for it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God."
rsv@Romans:14:12 @ So each of us shall give account of himself to God.
rsv@Romans:14:13 @ Then let us no more pass judgment on one another, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.
rsv@Romans:14:18 @ he who thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.
rsv@Romans:14:20 @ Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for any one to make others fall by what he eats;
rsv@Romans:14:21 @ it is right not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother stumble.
rsv@Romans:14:22 @ The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God; happy is he who has no reason to judge himself for what he approves.
rsv@Romans:15:1 @ We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves;
rsv@Romans:15:2 @ let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to edify him.
rsv@Romans:15:5 @ May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,
rsv@Romans:15:6 @ that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
rsv@Romans:15:8 @ For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs,
rsv@Romans:15:9 @ and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "Therefore I will praise thee among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name";
rsv@Romans:15:12 @ and further Isaiah says, "The root of Jesse shall come, he who rises to rule the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope."
rsv@Romans:15:14 @ I myself am satisfied about you, my brethren, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another.
rsv@Romans:15:15 @ But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God
rsv@Romans:15:16 @ to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
rsv@Romans:15:17 @ In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God.
rsv@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has wrought through me to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed,
rsv@Romans:15:20 @ thus making it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on another man's foundation,
rsv@Romans:15:21 @ but as it is written, "They shall see who have never been told of him, and they shall understand who have never heard of him."
rsv@Romans:15:22 @ This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you.
rsv@Romans:15:23 @ But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you,
rsv@Romans:15:24 @ I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be sped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a little.
rsv@Romans:15:25 @ At present, however, I am going to Jerusalem with aid for the saints.
rsv@Romans:15:26 @ For Macedo'nia and Acha'ia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem;
rsv@Romans:15:27 @ they were pleased to do it, and indeed they are in debt to them, for if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings.
rsv@Romans:15:28 @ When therefore I have completed this, and have delivered to them what has been raised, I shall go on by way of you to Spain;
rsv@Romans:15:29 @ and I know that when I come to you I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.
rsv@Romans:15:30 @ I appeal to you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf,
rsv@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
rsv@Romans:15:32 @ so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company.
rsv@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deaconess of the church at Cen'chre-ae,
rsv@Romans:16:4 @ who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I but also all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks;
rsv@Romans:16:10 @ Greet Apel'les, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobu'lus.
rsv@Romans:16:11 @ Greet my kinsman Hero'dion. Greet those in the Lord who belong to the family of Narcis'sus.
rsv@Romans:16:17 @ I appeal to you, brethren, to take note of those who create dissensions and difficulties, in opposition to the doctrine which you have been taught; avoid them.
rsv@Romans:16:19 @ For while your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I would have you wise as to what is good and guileless as to what is evil;
rsv@Romans:16:23 @ Ga'ius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Eras'tus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.
rsv@Romans:16:24 @ Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages
rsv@Romans:16:25 @ but is now disclosed and through the prophetic writings is made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith--
rsv@Romans:16:26 @ to the only wise God be glory for evermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.
rsv@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sos'thenes,
rsv@1Corinthians:1:2 @ To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:
rsv@1Corinthians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
rsv@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I give thanks to God always for you because of the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
rsv@1Corinthians:1:6 @ even as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you--
rsv@1Corinthians:1:8 @ who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
rsv@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
rsv@1Corinthians:1:10 @ I appeal to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no dissensions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.
rsv@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been reported to me by Chlo'e's people that there is quarreling among you, my brethren.
rsv@1Corinthians:1:12 @ What I mean is that each one of you says, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apol'los," or "I belong to Cephas," or "I belong to Christ."
rsv@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
rsv@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
rsv@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.
rsv@1Corinthians:1:23 @ but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,
rsv@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
rsv@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth;
rsv@1Corinthians:1:27 @ but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong,
rsv@1Corinthians:1:28 @ God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,
rsv@1Corinthians:2:1 @ When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom.
rsv@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
rsv@1Corinthians:2:6 @ Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away.
rsv@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
rsv@1Corinthians:2:10 @ God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
rsv@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God.
rsv@1Corinthians:2:13 @ And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit.
rsv@1Corinthians:2:14 @ The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
rsv@1Corinthians:2:15 @ The spiritual man judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.
rsv@1Corinthians:2:16 @ "For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
rsv@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apol'los," are you not merely men?
rsv@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apol'los? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.
rsv@1Corinthians:3:8 @ He who plants and he who waters are equal, and each shall receive his wages according to his labor.
