Romans:1:3 @ this gospel is concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of Davids posterity in respect of his bodily nature,
mnt@Romans:1:4 @ but was by his resurrection from the dead instated as Son of God, with power, in respect of his spirit of holiness.
mnt@Romans:1:5 @ It is through him, even Jesus Christ our Lord, that I received grace and apostleship to promote obedience to the faith among all the Gentiles, for his names sake;
mnt@Romans:1:7 @ To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints. May God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you, and give you peace.
mnt@Romans:1:10 @ always entreating him that now at length, if such be his will, the way may be made clear for me to come to you.
mnt@Romans:1:11 @ For I am longing so to see you, in order to impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established;
mnt@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that I with you may be encouraged by you, each of us by the others faith, yours and mine.
mnt@Romans:1:13 @ I want you to know, brothers, that many a time I have planned to come to you - though until now I have been hindered - so as to have some harvest-fruit among you also, even as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.
mnt@Romans:1:18 @ For Gods wrath is ever being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who smother the truth by their unrighteousness.
mnt@Romans:1:19 @ This is so because that which may be known of God is manifest among them; for God has made it manifest to them.
mnt@Romans:1:20 @ For ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, even his everlasting power and divinity, has been clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made. So they have no excuse.
mnt@Romans:1:25 @ because they exchanged the truth of God for an untruth, and worshiped and served the creature, rather than the Creator who is blessed forever. Amen.
mnt@Romans:1:26 @ That is why God has given them up to passions of dishonor; for on the one hand their women actually changed the natural function of sex into that which is against nature;
mnt@Romans:1:27 @ and on the other hand their men likewise abandoned the natural use of women, and were ablaze with passion for one another; men with men practising shameless acts and receiving in their own person that recompense of their wrong-doing which necessarily followed.
mnt@Romans:1:30 @ They became whisperers, back-biters, hated of God, insolent, haughty, boastful. They invented sins. They were disobedient to parents.
mnt@Romans:1:31 @ They were without sense, without faith, without natural affection, without mercy.
mnt@Romans:1:32 @ Though they knew well the ordinance of God, that those who practise such vices are worthy of death, they not only continue to do the same, but were even applauding those who practise vice.
mnt@Romans:2:1 @ You are therefore inexcusable, O man, whoever you are, that sits in judgment; for in judging another you are condemning yourself. You, the judge, are habitually practising the very same things.
mnt@Romans:2:2 @ "We know that Gods judgment against those who practise such vices is in accord with the truth," you say?
mnt@Romans:2:3 @ Very well; and do you suppose, you who judge those that practise such vices, and are doing the very same, that you will elude the judgment of God?
mnt@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long patience? Do you not know that the kindness of God is leading you to repentance?
mnt@Romans:2:5 @ In your hardness and impenitence of heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath on the Day of Wrath, when the righteous judgment of God is revealed.
mnt@Romans:2:7 @ eternal life to those who by patience in well-doing strive for glory and honor and immortality;
mnt@Romans:2:8 @ but anger and wrath upon those who are self-willed and disobey the truth, but obey unrighteousness.
mnt@Romans:2:14 @ For when Gentiles, who have no law, obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they even though they have no law, are a law to themselves.
mnt@Romans:2:15 @ For they show that the work of the Law is written in their hearts, while their conscience bears them witness, as their reasonings accuse, or it may be defend, them,
mnt@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will, and can test the things that differ; if you are instructed out of the Law,
mnt@Romans:2:19 @ and are confident that you yourself are a darkness,
mnt@Romans:2:21 @ You who are preaching that a man should not steal, do you practise theft?
mnt@Romans:2:22 @ You who keep saying that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who hold idols in abhorrence, are you plundering their temples?
mnt@Romans:3:1 @ What special privilege, then, has the Jew? Or what is the use of circumcision?
mnt@Romans:3:4 @ By no means! Be sure that God is ever true, though all mankind prove false. As it is written, That thou mayest be found just in thine argument, And gain thy cause when thou contendest.
mnt@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness thus brings out Gods righteousness, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous - I speak after the manner of men - when he inflicts his anger on us?
mnt@Romans:3:6 @ Be it far from us; for in that case how could God judge the world?
mnt@Romans:3:8 @ And why not say (as I myself am slanderously reported to say), "Let us do evil that good may come out of it"? Such arguments are rightly condemned.
mnt@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews in a better position? Not at all, for I have already charged all, both Jews and Gentiles, with being under sin.
mnt@Romans:3:11 @ There is none that understands, none that seeks for God!
mnt@Romans:3:12 @ All have swerved from the right path; Every one of them has become corrupt. There is none that practises good, no, not one.
mnt@Romans:3:13 @ Their throat is an open grave; With their tongues they have used deceit. The venom of asps is under their lips.
mnt@Romans:3:16 @ Destruction and ruin are in their paths;
mnt@Romans:3:17 @ And the path of peace they have not known.
mnt@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 shut, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
mnt@Romans:3:24 @ but they are now being justified by his free grace through the deliverance that is in Christ Jesus.
mnt@Romans:3:25 @ For God openly set him forth for himself as an offering of atonement through faith, by means of his blood, in order to show forth his righteousness - since in his forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed - to show forth his righteousness,
mnt@Romans:3:26 @ I say, at this present time; that he himself might be just, and yet the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
mnt@Romans:3:27 @ Then what becomes of boasting? It is shut out. What sort of law forbids it? A law of works? No, but a law of faith.
mnt@Romans:3:28 @ For I conclude that a man is justified by faith, altogether apart from the deeds of the Law.
mnt@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say of Abraham, our ancestor in the flesh?
mnt@Romans:4:3 @ For what does Scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was set down to his account as righteousness.
mnt@Romans:4:11 @ and he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the faith- righteousness which he had while he was in uncircumcision; in order that he might be the father of all who believe, even though they are uncircumcised; so that righteousness might be imputed to them.
mnt@Romans:4:12 @ He is the father of circumcision to those who are not merely circumcised, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he held while he was as yet uncircumcised.
mnt@Romans:4:13 @ For the promise that he should be heir of the world did not come to Abraham or to his posterity through law, but through faith- righteousness.
mnt@Romans:4:15 @ For law works wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
mnt@Romans:4:16 @ This is why righteousness is of faith, that it may be a free gift; so that the promise stands firm to all Abrahams posterity; not to his children of his faith. For in the sight of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead, and calls into being that which is not, Abraham is the father of us all both Jews and Gentiles,
mnt@Romans:4:17 @ as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations.
mnt@Romans:4:18 @ For Abraham, hoping against hope, had faith to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So numberless shall your descendants be.
mnt@Romans:4:21 @ and was fully persuaded that what God had promised, he was able also to perform.
mnt@Romans:4:24 @ For it will be "reckoned for righteousness." to us also, who believe on him that raised from the dead our Lord Jesus;
mnt@Romans:4:25 @ who was betrayed to death for our transgressions, and raised again to life for our justification.
mnt@Romans:5:3 @ And not only so, but we are actually exulting also even in our troubles; for we know that trouble works fortitude,
mnt@Romans:5:8 @ But God gives proof of his love to us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
mnt@Romans:5:9 @ By how much more, then, being now justified in his blood, shall we be saved through him from the wrath of God.
mnt@Romans:5:10 @ For if, when we were Gods enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved in his life.
mnt@Romans:5:11 @ And not only that, but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained our reconciliation.
mnt@Romans:5:12 @ Thus, then, sin came into the world through one man, and through sin came death and so death spread to all men, because all had sinned.
mnt@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless, from Adam to Moses death reigned as king, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of Adams transgression. Now Adam is a type of Him who was to come.
mnt@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the transgression; for if through the transgression of that one man the rest on men died, much more did the grace of God and the gift given in his grace in the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow unto the rest of men.
mnt@Romans:5:16 @ And it is not with the free gift as it was through the one that sinned; for the judgment came from one transgression unto condemnation; but the free gift came from many transgressions unto acquittal.
mnt@Romans:5:17 @ For if through the transgression of the one, death reigned as king through the one, much more shall those who receive the overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in life through One, through Jesus Christ.
mnt@Romans:5:18 @ It follows then, as through the transgression of one man came condemnation unto all men, even so through the act of righteousness of One came acquittal and life to all men.
mnt@Romans:5:20 @ Now law was brought in so that transgression might abound; but where sin abounded, grace super-abounded;
mnt@Romans:5:21 @ in order that as sin has ruled as king in death, so also grace might rule as king in righteousness which issues in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord, - ours!
mnt@Romans:6:1 @ What then shall we say? Shall we continue to abound in sin, in order that grace may come to abound?
mnt@Romans:6:3 @ For do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Jesus Christ, have been baptized into his death?
mnt@Romans:6:4 @ We have been buried together with him, then, through baptism into his death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we should live in a newness of life.
mnt@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, so we shall also be united with him in the likeness of his resurrection.
mnt@Romans:6:6 @ For this we know, that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the slave of sin might be destroyed; so that we should no longer be in slavery to sin -
mnt@Romans:6:8 @ Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;
mnt@Romans:6:9 @ knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more; death has no more dominion over him.
mnt@Romans:6:10 @ For the death that he died, he died unto sin once for all; but the life that he lives he is living unto God.
mnt@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Shall we commit an act of sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not.
mnt@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that when you surrender yourselves as slaves to any one to obey him, you are his slaves whom you obey; whether it be sin, whose end is death, or obedience, whose end is righteousness?
mnt@Romans:6:17 @ But God be thanked that you who were once the slaves of sin have obeyed from your hearts that type of teaching to which you were appointed;
mnt@Romans:6:19 @ I speak in these homely figures because of the weakness of your fleshly nature - just as you once surrendered your faculties into slavery to impurity and to all lawlessness, so now you must surrender your faculties into slavery to righteousness, unto deeds of holiness.
mnt@Romans:6:21 @ What harvest-fruit then had you at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
mnt@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from sin and become slaves of God, the harvest-fruit which you are reaping tends to produce holiness, and it ends is life eternal.
mnt@Romans:6:23 @ FOR THE POOR WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE FREE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, OUR MASTER.
mnt@Romans:7:1 @ Surely, brothers, you know (for I am speaking to those who know what law means) that law governs a person only during his lifetime?
mnt@Romans:7:3 @ So then, if during her husband lifetime, she unites herself with another man, she will be counted an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the Law, so that she is no adulteress, even if she unites herself with another man.
mnt@Romans:7:4 @ So also, my brother, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ; that you should be joined to another, even to Him who was raised from the dead that we might bear fruit for God.
mnt@Romans:7:5 @ For while we were unspiritual, the sinful passions, aroused by the Law, were ever active in every part of our bodies, leading us to bear fruit unto death.
mnt@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been released from the Law, because we are dead to that in which we were held; so that we are now in thraldom in new and spiritual conditions, and not under the old written code.
mnt@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Certainly not. On the contrary I should not have become acquainted with sin had it not been for the Law; for except the Law had repeatedly said, "Thou shalt not lust," I should never have known the sin of lust.
mnt@Romans:7:10 @ and the very commandment which should have meant life, this I found to mean death.
mnt@Romans:7:13 @ Did then that which was good become for me death? Never! but sin did; that it might be manifest as sin, by that the unutterable malignity of sin might become plain through the commandment.
mnt@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the Law is spiritual; but as for me, I am a creature of flesh, bought and sold under the dominion of sin.
mnt@Romans:7:15 @ For what I perform I know not; what I practise is not what I intend to do, but what I detest, that I habitually do.
mnt@Romans:7:16 @ If then I habitually do what I do not intend to do, I am consenting to the Law, that it is right.
mnt@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, no good thing has its home; for while to will is present with me, to carry out that which is right is not.
mnt@Romans:7:19 @ For the good that I intend to do, I do not; but the evil which I do not; but the evil which I do not intend to do, that I am ever practising.
mnt@Romans:7:21 @ I find, then, this law, that when I intend to do good, evil is ever present with me.
mnt@Romans:7:23 @ but I find a different law in my bodily faculties, waging war with the law of my will, and taking me prisoner to that law of sin which is in my bodily faculties.
mnt@Romans:7:24 @ Oh, wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this slave of death?
mnt@Romans:7:25 @ Oh, thank God! it is through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself in my will am in thraldom to the law of God; yet in my animal nature I am in thraldom to the law of sin.
mnt@Romans:8:1 @ Thus there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;
mnt@Romans:8:2 @ for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.
mnt@Romans:8:3 @ For God has done what the Law could not do, weakened as it was by flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and on account of sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;
mnt@Romans:8:4 @ in order that the Law might be fulfilled in us who order our lives not after the flesh, but after the spirit.
mnt@Romans:8:5 @ For they who live after the flesh, give their attention to the things of the flesh; But they who live after the spirit, give their attention to spiritual things.
mnt@Romans:8:6 @ To be earthly minded means death; To be spiritually minded means life and peace.
mnt@Romans:8:13 @ for if you go on living according to the flesh, you are on the road to die; but if by the Spirit you keep putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
mnt@Romans:8:15 @ For you have not received a spirit of slavery in order that you should once more be afraid; but you have received a spirit of adoption, in which we cry out, "My Father, my dear Father!"
mnt@Romans:8:16 @ For his Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God;
mnt@Romans:8:18 @ For I count as nothing what we now suffer, in comparison with the glory which will soon be unveiled to us.
mnt@Romans:8:19 @ All nature even is waiting with eager longing for the unveiling of the vision of Gods sons.
mnt@Romans:8:20 @ For nature was subjected to imperfection, not by its own will, but by the will of Him who thus made it subject -
mnt@Romans:8:21 @ yet not without the hope that some day nature itself also will be freed from the thraldom of decay, into the freedom which belongs to the glory of the children of God.
mnt@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that all nature has been groaning and travailing together until this hour.
mnt@Romans:8:23 @ And not only that, we ourselves, although we are grasping the first- fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves are inwardly groaning, while we are waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
mnt@Romans:8:25 @ Who hopes for what he clearly sees? But if we hope for something that we do not see, we then patiently wait for it.
mnt@Romans:8:27 @ And the Searcher of Hearts knows what the Sprits meaning is, because his intercessions for the saints are according to the will of God.
mnt@Romans:8:28 @ Now we know that all things continually work together for good to to those who love God, to those who have been the called according to his purpose.
mnt@Romans:8:29 @ For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, so that he might be the eldest of a great brotherhood;
mnt@Romans:8:31 @ What shall we say then, to these things? If God be for us, Who can be against us?
mnt@Romans:8:32 @ He that spared not his own Son, But freely delivered him up for us all, How shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
mnt@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn them? Will Christ who died? Yes, and who rose from the dead, The Christ who is also at the right hand of God, And is interceding for us?
mnt@Romans:8:35 @ What shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall anguish, or calamity, or persecution, or famine? Shall nakedness, or peril, or sword?
mnt@Romans:8:38 @ For I am fully persuaded that neither death nor life, Neither angels nor principalities, nor powers, Neither the present world nor the world to come, Nor the powers of Nature,
mnt@Romans:8:39 @ Nor height, nor depth, Nor any other created thing, Shall be able to separate us from the love of God Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
mnt@Romans:9:1 @ I am speaking the truth in Christ, it is no lie. My conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit that I have deep sorrow
mnt@Romans:9:5 @ theirs are the patriarchs, and of them, as concerning the flesh, is Christ, who is over all, God, blessed forever, Amen.
mnt@Romans:9:8 @ That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as his posterity.
mnt@Romans:9:10 @ And not only so, but when Rebecca was pregnant by our forefather Isaac, though one man was the father of both children,
mnt@Romans:9:11 @ and even though they were still unborn, and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that the purpose of God might stand according to election, not of works, but of Him who called,
mnt@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
mnt@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? that there is injustice with God? No indeed.
mnt@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, It is for this very purpose that I have raised you up, To show in you my power, And to proclaim my name far and wide, in all the earth.
mnt@Romans:9:20 @ "Nay, but who are you, O man, that replies to God? Shall the thing formed say unto him who formed it, "Why did you do me like this?"
mnt@Romans:9:22 @ But what if God, while intending to show forth his wrath, and to make known his power, yet endured, with much long-suffering, vessels of wrath, fitted to destruction?
mnt@Romans:9:23 @ And what if he thus purposed to make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory?
mnt@Romans:9:26 @ And in that very spot where it was told them, "You are not my people," There they shall be called "Sons of the living God."
mnt@Romans:9:29 @ Even as in an earlier passage, Isaiah says, Except the Lord of Sabbath had us some few descendants, we should have become like Sodom, and should have fared like Gomorrah.
mnt@Romans:9:30 @ What then shall we say? That Gentiles who never pursed righteousness have overtaken it, even the righteousness of faith?
mnt@Romans:9:31 @ But that the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law?
mnt@Romans:9:32 @ And why? Because they sought it not by faith, but thought to gain it by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;
mnt@Romans:9:33 @ even as it is written. Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; but he that believes on Him shall not be put to shame.
mnt@Romans:10:1 @ Brothers, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for my countrymen, that they may be saved.
mnt@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, only it is a zeal without knowledge.
mnt@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses writes concerning the righteousness of the Law, saying, The man that doeth it shall live by it.
mnt@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way. Say not in thine heart, "Who shall ascend to heaven?" - that is, to bring Christ down;
mnt@Romans:10:7 @ Nor,"who shall descend into the abyss?" - that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.
mnt@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? The word is near thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart. That is the very word of faith which we preach;
mnt@Romans:10:9 @ Confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God actually raised him from the dead, and you will be saved.
mnt@Romans:10:10 @ For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
mnt@Romans:10:16 @ And yet they did not all hearken to the good news; for Isaiah said, Lord, who hath believed our message?
mnt@Romans:10:19 @ But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses says. I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation; Against a Gentile nation, void of understanding, will I anger you.
mnt@Romans:11:2 @ God did not cast off his people whom he foreknew. For do you not know what is said in the Scripture about Elijah? how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,
mnt@Romans:11:4 @ But what was the answer of God to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
mnt@Romans:11:5 @ In the same way also at this time there is a remnant chosen by gift of grace.
mnt@Romans:11:7 @ What then? that which Israel has been seeking for, that he has not obtained; but the chosen have obtained it, and the rest have been hardened.
mnt@Romans:11:8 @ According as it is written, God has given them a spirit of slumber, Eyes that they should not see, Ears that they should not hear, unto this day.
mnt@Romans:11:10 @ Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, And bow thou down their backs forever.
mnt@Romans:11:11 @ I ask then, "Have they stumbled so as to fall?" No indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come unto Gentiles, "to provoke Israel to jealousy."
mnt@Romans:11:13 @ For to you who are Gentiles I say that since I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
mnt@Romans:11:15 @ For if their casting out is the reconciliation of the world to God, what will their restoration be but life out of death?
mnt@Romans:11:16 @ Now if the first-fruits of the dough Abraham and the Patriarchs are holy, so also is the whole mass their descendants. And if the root of a tree Abraham is holy, so also are the branches his descendants.
mnt@Romans:11:17 @ Supposing that some of the branches have been broken off, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among the branches and have become a partaker with them of the fatness of the olive tree, do not glory over the branches;
mnt@Romans:11:18 @ or if you are glorying, remember that it is not you who uphold the root, but the root which upholds you.
mnt@Romans:11:19 @ "Branches have been broken off," you say, "that I might be grafted in."
mnt@Romans:11:21 @ for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
mnt@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a mere wild olive tree, and have been grafted, contrary to nature, into a fruitful olive tree, how much more shall these, the natural branches, be regrafted into their own olive tree?
mnt@Romans:11:25 @ For I would not, my brothers, have you ignorant of this hidden truth, for fear that you become wise in your own conceits. that a hardening in part has befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles is come in.
mnt@Romans:11:28 @ In relation to the gospel, the Jews are Gods enemies for your sake; but in relation to the election, they are dearly loved for their forefathers sake.
mnt@Romans:11:31 @ even so they also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they also may now obtain mercy.
mnt@Romans:11:32 @ For God has locked up all in the prison of disobedience, that upon all he may have mercy.
mnt@Romans:11:33 @ Oh, the depths of the riches, both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unfathomable are his judgments, and how unsearchable his paths!
mnt@Romans:12:1 @ I entreat you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies to Him as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. This is your reasonable service of worship.
mnt@Romans:12:2 @ And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
mnt@Romans:12:3 @ For, through the grace that was given to me, I tell every man among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think, as to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God has given him.
mnt@Romans:12:6 @ But we have gifts differing according to the grace which was given to us. He that has the gift of prophecy, let him prophesy according to the proportion of his faith.
mnt@Romans:12:7 @ If it is the gift of administration, let us give ourselves to our service.
mnt@Romans:12:8 @ Let the teacher give himself to his teaching; and he who exhorts others to his exhortation. He who gives, let him do it in singleness of mind. He who rules, let him rule with diligence; and he who shows mercy must be cheerful.
mnt@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be without insincerity. Abhor what is evil; wed yourselves to what is good.
mnt@Romans:12:10 @ As for brotherly love, be tenderly affectionate one to another, in honor preferring one another.
mnt@Romans:12:12 @ Rejoice in hope; be patient under affliction; continue stedfast in prayer.
mnt@Romans:12:16 @ Have full sympathy with one another. Set not your minds on high affairs, but associate with lowly folk. Do not be wise in your own conceits.
mnt@Romans:12:17 @ Do not pay back evil for evil. Aim to do what is honorable in the eyes of all.
mnt@Romans:12:18 @ If it be possible, so far as it lies with you, be at peace with all men.
mnt@Romans:12:19 @ Never revenge yourself, beloved, but leave the field clear for Gods wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord.
mnt@Romans:13:1 @ Every one should be in the higher authorities; for there is no authority apart from God. The authorities that now exist have been appointed by God.
mnt@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are no terror to good deeds, but to evil. Would you be fearless of the rulers authority? Do what is good, and you will have his praise.
mnt@Romans:13:6 @ This too, is the reason why you pay taxes; because the authorities are ministers of Gods service, attending continually upon this very thing.
mnt@Romans:13:9 @ For the Law which says, Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not covet, and whatever other commandment there be - is all summed up in this one saying, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
mnt@Romans:13:11 @ Carry out these injunctions because you know the crisis that we are in, that now it is high time for you to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed.
mnt@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far spent; The day is at hand. Let is therefore take off the deeds of darkness, Let us put on the armor of light.
mnt@Romans:13:14 @ But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, And make no provisions for your earthly nature And the gratification of its lusts.
mnt@Romans:14:2 @ One man has faith to eat anything; but he whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.
mnt@Romans:14:3 @ He who eats meat must not despise the man who abstains; and let not the man who abstains judge him who eats; for God has received him.
mnt@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you just that judges the household-servant of another? To his own lord he stands or falls. And stand he will, for his Master has power to make him stand.
mnt@Romans:14:6 @ He who regards the day, regards it unto his Lord; and he who regards it not, disregards it unto his Lord. He who eats meat, eats unto his Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who abstains, abstains unto his Lord, since he, too, gives God thanks.
mnt@Romans:14:9 @ For this purpose Christ died and became alive again, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living.
mnt@Romans:14:10 @ But you the abstainer, why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you again the non-abstainer, why do you despise yours? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.
mnt@Romans:14:13 @ So let us no longer pass judgment on one another; rather let this be your judgment, that no one put a stumbling-block in his brothers way, nor any cause of falling.
mnt@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is in itself unclean; but any food is "unclean" for one who considers it "unclean."
mnt@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is continually pained because of your food, you are not conducting yourself any longer in love. Do not, by what you eat, persist in destroying a man for whom Christ died.
mnt@Romans:14:16 @ Therefore do not let what is right, so far as you are concerned, be evil spoken of.
mnt@Romans:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
mnt@Romans:14:19 @ So then let is eagerly pursue the things that make for peace and the upbuilding of each other.
mnt@Romans:14:21 @ The right course is not to eat meat, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything through which your brother is made to stumble.
mnt@Romans:14:22 @ Have you faith? Keep it to yourself as in the presence of God. He is a happy man who does not condemn himself in that which he approves.
mnt@Romans:14:23 @ But he who has misgivings, and yet eats meat, is condemned already, because his action is not based on faith; and whatever is not based on faith is sin.
mnt@Romans:15:4 @ For everything that was written of old has been written for our instruction, that through patience, and through the comfort of the Scriptures, we might have hope.
mnt@Romans:15:5 @ Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be in full sympathy with one another, in accordance with the example of Jesus Christ;
mnt@Romans:15:6 @ so that with one heart and with one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
mnt@Romans:15:8 @ For I say that Christ has been made a minister of the Circumcision the people of Israel, in vindication of Gods truth, so that he may confirm the promises given to our forefathers;
mnt@Romans:15:9 @ and so that the Gentiles also should praise God for his mercy, as it is written, Therefore I will offer praise to thee among the Gentiles, And sing to thy name.
mnt@Romans:15:12 @ Or again, as Isaiah says. There shall be the root of Jesse, And he that arises to rule over the Gentiles; On him shall the Gentiles hope.
mnt@Romans:15:13 @ Now the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may be overflowing with hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
mnt@Romans:15:14 @ And I myself also am confident regarding you, my brothers, that you yourselves are already full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and well able to give advice to one another.
mnt@Romans:15:15 @ Still I have written unto you the more boldly, in part, by way of reminding you, because of that gift of grace which God bestowed upon me, in making me a priest of Jesus Christ unto the Gentiles.
mnt@Romans:15:16 @ I act as priest of the gospel of God; so that the Gentiles, when offered before him, may be an acceptable sacrifice, because consecrated by the Holy Spirit.
mnt@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not dare to speak of any thing except that which Christ has done through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,
mnt@Romans:15:19 @ through the might of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit. So that beginning at Jerusalem and its environs, I have proclaimed without reserve the gospel of Christ, even as far as Illyricum.
mnt@Romans:15:20 @ My ambition has been, however, to preach the gospel where Christs name was not already known, so that I might not build upon another mans foundation.
mnt@Romans:15:26 @ For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make an offering for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.
mnt@Romans:15:28 @ When, therefore, I have settled this, and have secured to them the poor at Jerusalem the fruit of this collection, I shall come on by you into Spain.
mnt@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.
mnt@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from the disobedient in Judea; that my mission to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the saints;
mnt@Romans:15:32 @ and that I may come to you in joy, by the will of God, and find rest together with you.
mnt@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a minister of the church at Cenchrae.
mnt@Romans:16:2 @ I beg you to give her a Christian welcome, as the saints should; and to assist her in any matter in which she may have need of you. For she herself has been made an overseer to many people, including myself.
mnt@Romans:16:5 @ but by all the churches among the Gentiles. Salute likewise the church that meets in their home. Salute Epaenetus, my dearly beloved, the first man in Roman Asia to believe in Christ.
mnt@Romans:16:14 @ Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are associated with them.
mnt@Romans:16:15 @ Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, Olympas, and all the saints associated with them.
mnt@Romans:16:17 @ I exhort you, brothers, to keep watch of those who are causing the divisions among you, and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the teaching which you have learned.
mnt@Romans:16:18 @ Turn away from them. For men of that stamp are not the slaves of Christ, but are slaves to their own appetites. By their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.
mnt@Romans:16:20 @ The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
mnt@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, salutes you; so do my fellow countrymen Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater.
mnt@Romans:16:25 @ Now I commend you to Him who is able to keep you stedfast, according to my gospel, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, whereby is unveiled the secret truth which was kept secret through immemorial ages,
mnt@Romans:16:26 @ but now has been brought to light, and by command of the eternal God made known to the Gentiles by the scriptures of the Prophets, so that the Gentiles might hold obedience of the faith.
mnt@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the Church of God at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all, wherever they are, who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus.
mnt@1Corinthians:1:3 @ Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
mnt@1Corinthians:1:5 @ that in everything you have been enriched in him, in all speech, and in all knowledge
mnt@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that you lack no divine gift, while you are waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
mnt@1Corinthians:1:8 @ He will also keep you perfectly stedfast unto the end, so that you will be unreprovable in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
mnt@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been plainly told me concerning you, my brothers, by Chloes people, that there are dissensions among you.
mnt@1Corinthians:1:12 @ I mean by this that one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul"; another, "I of Apollos"; another, "I of Cephas"; another, "I of Christ."
mnt@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Has Christ been divided? Paul, was he crucified for you? or was it into the name of Paul that you were baptized?
mnt@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I am thankful to God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
mnt@1Corinthians:1:15 @ so that no one can say you were baptized in my name.
mnt@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing.
mnt@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the message of the Cross is indeed for those on their way to destruction, foolishness; but for us who are on our way to salvation it is the power of God.
mnt@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider your own calling, brothers, that not many wise in earthly wisdom, not many powerful, not many of noble birth, have been called.
mnt@1Corinthians:1:28 @ The worlds base things has God chosen, and the things that are not, to bring to naught the things that are;
