rkjnt Romans:11-13
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.
rkjnt@Romans:11:2 @ God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah? how he appealed to God against Israel, saying,
rkjnt@Romans:11:3 @ Lord, they have killed your prophets, and pulled down your altars; and I alone am left, and they seek my life.
rkjnt@Romans:11:4 @ But what is the answer God gives to him? I have kept for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
rkjnt@Romans:11:5 @ Even so, at this present time, there is a remnant, chosen by grace.
rkjnt@Romans:11:6 @ And if by grace, then it is no longer by works: otherwise grace is no longer grace.
rkjnt@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel has not obtained that which it sought; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
rkjnt@Romans:11:8 @ As it is written, God has given them the spirit of stupor, eyes that should not see, and ears that should not hear; down to this day.
rkjnt@Romans:11:9 @ And David says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a retribution to them:
rkjnt@Romans:11:10 @ Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their backs forever.
rkjnt@Romans:11:11 @ I say then, Have they stumbled to fall beyond recovery? By no means: but rather through their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
rkjnt@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their fall means riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles; how much more will their fullness bring?
rkjnt@Romans:11:13 @ For I speak to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I make much of my ministry:
rkjnt@Romans:11:14 @ That I might provoke to envy my own people, and might save some of them.
rkjnt@Romans:11:15 @ For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what shall their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
rkjnt@Romans:11:16 @ For if the piece of dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole lump is also holy: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
rkjnt@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them, and with them partake in the rich root of the olive tree;
rkjnt@Romans:11:18 @ Do not boast over the branches. If you boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
rkjnt@Romans:11:19 @ You will say, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
rkjnt@Romans:11:20 @ That is true; because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand only by faith. Do not be conceited, but fear:
rkjnt@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you.
rkjnt@Romans:11:22 @ Therefore behold the kindness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, kindness, if you continue in his kindness: otherwise you shall also be cut off.
rkjnt@Romans:11:23 @ And they also, if they do not persist in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
rkjnt@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut off from an olive tree which is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted onto a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
rkjnt@Romans:11:25 @ Brethren, I would not have you be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that a hardening in part has happened to Israel, until the full number of Gentiles has come in.
rkjnt@Romans:11:26 @ And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, who shall banish ungodliness from Jacob:
rkjnt@Romans:11:27 @ For this is my covenant with them, when I shall take away their sins.
rkjnt@Romans:11:28 @ Concerning the gospel, they are enemies of God, for your sakes: but concerning election, they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.
rkjnt@Romans:11:29 @ For the gifts and calling of God are never revoked.
rkjnt@Romans:11:30 @ For as you in times past have not obeyed God, yet have now obtained mercy because of their disobedience:
rkjnt@Romans:11:31 @ Even so they have now become disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they may now also obtain mercy.
rkjnt@Romans:11:32 @ For God has consigned all men to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.
rkjnt@Romans:11:33 @ O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
rkjnt@Romans:11:34 @ For who has known the mind of the Lord? or who has been his counsellor?
rkjnt@Romans:11:35 @ Or who has first given to him, that he might be repaid?
rkjnt@Romans:11:36 @ For from him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
rkjnt@Romans:12:1 @ Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship.
rkjnt@Romans:12:2 @ And do not be conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good, and acceptable, and perfect.
rkjnt@Romans:12:3 @ For through the grace given to me, I say to every man among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according to the measure of faith God has given him.
rkjnt@Romans:12:4 @ For as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function:
rkjnt@Romans:12:5 @ So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually are members one of another.
rkjnt@Romans:12:6 @ Having gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, according to the proportion of our faith;
rkjnt@Romans:12:7 @ If service, in our serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching;
rkjnt@Romans:12:8 @ Or he who exhorts, in exhortation: he who gives, with generosity; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
rkjnt@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be genuine. Abhor that which is evil; cling to that which is good.
rkjnt@Romans:12:10 @ Be devoted to one another with brotherly love; honour one another more than yourselves;
rkjnt@Romans:12:11 @ Not lacking in zeal; aglow with the spirit; serving the Lord;
rkjnt@Romans:12:12 @ Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; faithful in prayer;
rkjnt@Romans:12:13 @ Contributing to the saints who are in need; practicing hospitality.
rkjnt@Romans:12:14 @ Bless those who persecute you: bless, and do not curse.
rkjnt@Romans:12:15 @ Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
rkjnt@Romans:12:16 @ Be in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own conceits.
rkjnt@Romans:12:17 @ Do not repay any man evil for evil, but take thought of those things that are right in the sight of all men.
rkjnt@Romans:12:18 @ If it is possible, as much as it lies with you, live peaceably with all men.
rkjnt@Romans:12:19 @ Dearly beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place for the wrath of God: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.
rkjnt@Romans:12:20 @ Therefore, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink: for in so doing you shall heap coals of fire upon his head.
rkjnt@Romans:12:21 @ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
rkjnt@Romans:13:1 @ Let every man be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority but from God: and those authorities that exist have been ordained by God.
rkjnt@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore, whoever resists the authorities, resists the ordinance of God: and those who resist shall bring condemnation upon themselves.
rkjnt@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror for those who do good works, but to those who do evil. Do you want to have no fear of the one in authority? do that which is good, and you shall have his praise:
rkjnt@Romans:13:4 @ For he is a minister of God for your good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God to execute wrath upon the one who does evil.
rkjnt@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore you must be subject, not only to avoid wrath, but also for conscience sake.
rkjnt@Romans:13:6 @ For this reason you also pay taxes: for they are God's ministers, attending continually to this very service.
rkjnt@Romans:13:7 @ Therefore, give to all men what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; revenue to whom revenue; respect to whom respect; honour to whom honour.
rkjnt@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he who loves others has fulfilled the law.
rkjnt@Romans:13:9 @ For the commandments, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet; and any other commandments, are summed up in this saying, You shall love your neighbour as yourself.
rkjnt@Romans:13:10 @ Love does no wrong to a neighbour: therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
rkjnt@Romans:13:11 @ And besides that, you know the hour, that it is now high time to awaken from sleep: for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.
rkjnt@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far gone, the day is at hand: therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
rkjnt@Romans:13:13 @ Let us conduct ourselves properly, as in the day; not in carousing and drunkenness, not in debauchery and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy.
rkjnt@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its lusts.
rkjnt@Romans:14:1 @ Accept him who is weak in the faith, and do not dispute over his opinions.
