Romans:1:2 @ which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures,
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:1:8 @ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.
rsv@Romans:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers,
rsv@Romans:1:10 @ asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you.
rsv@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
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:1:15 @ so I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
rsv@Romans:1:17 @ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, "He who through faith is righteous shall live."
rsv@Romans:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of men who by their wickedness suppress the truth.
rsv@Romans:1:19 @ For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
rsv@Romans:1:20 @ Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse;
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:1:23 @ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man or birds or animals or reptiles.
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:1:27 @ and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error.
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:1:30 @ 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:2:1 @ Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge another; for in passing judgment upon him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.
rsv@Romans:2:2 @ We know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who do such things.
rsv@Romans:2:3 @ Do you suppose, O man, that when you judge those who do such things and yet do them yourself, you will escape the judgment of God?
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:2:9 @ There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,
rsv@Romans:2:12 @ All who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
rsv@Romans:2:15 @ They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them
rsv@Romans:2:16 @ on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.
rsv@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed in the law,
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:2:21 @ you then who teach others, will you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal?
rsv@Romans:2:23 @ You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
rsv@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law; but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.
rsv@Romans:2:28 @ For he is not a real Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something external and physical.
rsv@Romans:2:29 @ He is a Jew who is one inwardly, and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, spiritual and not literal. His praise is not from men but from God.
rsv@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews are entrusted with the oracles of God.
rsv@Romans:3:4 @ By no means! Let God be true though every man be false, as it is written, "That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and prevail when thou art judged."
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:3:8 @ And why not do evil that good may come?--as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.
rsv@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all; for I have already charged that all men, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin,
rsv@Romans:3:16 @ in their paths are ruin and misery,
rsv@Romans:3:20 @ For no human being will be justified in his sight by works of the law, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
rsv@Romans:3:22 @ the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction;
rsv@Romans:3:23 @ since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
rsv@Romans:3:24 @ they are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,
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:3:27 @ Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On the principle of works? No, but on the principle of faith.
rsv@Romans:3:30 @ since God is one; and he will justify the circumcised on the ground of their faith and the uncircumcised through their faith.
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:4:6 @ So also David pronounces a blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:
rsv@Romans:4:7 @ "Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;
rsv@Romans:4:8 @ blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not reckon his sin."
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:4:11 @ 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:4:15 @ For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression.
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:4:19 @ He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb.
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:4:24 @ but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him that raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,
rsv@Romans:5:1 @ Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
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:5:3 @ More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
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:5:8 @ But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.
rsv@Romans:5:9 @ Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
rsv@Romans:5:11 @ Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation.
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:5:13 @ sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.
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:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.
rsv@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification.
rsv@Romans:5:17 @ If, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
rsv@Romans:5:19 @ For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man's obedience many will be made righteous.
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:6:5 @ For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
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:6:7 @ For he who has died is freed from sin.
rsv@Romans:6:9 @ For we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.
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:6:14 @ For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
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:6:18 @ and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.
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:6:21 @ But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death.
rsv@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is sanctification and its end, eternal life.
rsv@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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:7:3 @ Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.
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:7:9 @ I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died;
rsv@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, finding opportunity in the commandment, deceived me and by it killed 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:7:14 @ We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.
rsv@Romans:7:15 @ I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.
rsv@Romans:7:17 @ So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me.
rsv@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it.
rsv@Romans:7:20 @ Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me.
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:7:22 @ For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self,
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:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
rsv@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.
rsv@Romans:8:3 @ For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,
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:8:8 @ and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
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:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, although your bodies are dead because of sin, your spirits are alive because of righteousness.
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:8:16 @ it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
rsv@Romans:8:17 @ and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
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:8:19 @ For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God;
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:8:23 @ and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
rsv@Romans:8:24 @ For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?
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:8:30 @ And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.
rsv@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us?
rsv@Romans:8:32 @ He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?
rsv@Romans:8:33 @ Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies;
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:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
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:8:37 @ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
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:9:1 @ I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit,
rsv@Romans:9:2 @ that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
rsv@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen by race.
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:9:11 @ though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of his call,
rsv@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means!
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:9:22 @ 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:9:25 @ As indeed he says in Hose'a, "Those who were not my people I will call `my people,' and her who was not beloved I will call `my beloved.'"
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:9:27 @ And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: "Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved;
rsv@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, righteousness through faith;
rsv@Romans:9:31 @ but that Israel who pursued the righteousness which is based on law did not succeed in fulfilling that law.
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:10:3 @ 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:10:8 @ But what does it say? The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we preach);
rsv@Romans:10:9 @ because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
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:10:17 @ So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ.
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:10:19 @ Again I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry."
rsv@Romans:11:1 @ I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
rsv@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Eli'jah, how he pleads with God against Israel?
rsv@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel failed to obtain what it sought. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened,
rsv@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!
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:11:19 @ You will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."
rsv@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast only through faith. So do not become proud, but stand in awe.
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:11:26 @ and so all Israel will be saved; as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob";
rsv@Romans:11:27 @ "and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins."
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:11:33 @ O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
rsv@Romans:11:34 @ "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"
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:12:4 @ For as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function,
rsv@Romans:12:5 @ so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
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:12:7 @ if service, in our serving; he who teaches, in his teaching;
rsv@Romans:12:8 @ he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who contributes, in liberality; he who gives aid, with zeal; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
rsv@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good;
rsv@Romans:12:10 @ love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor.
rsv@Romans:12:11 @ Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord.
rsv@Romans:12:12 @ Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
rsv@Romans:12:13 @ Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality.
rsv@Romans:12:16 @ Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited.
rsv@Romans:12:17 @ Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.
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:12:20 @ No, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head."
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:13:2 @ Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.
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:13:6 @ For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing.
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:13:9 @ The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
rsv@Romans:13:10 @ Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
rsv@Romans:13:13 @ let us conduct ourselves becomingly as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy.
rsv@Romans:14:1 @ As for the man who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not for disputes over opinions.
rsv@Romans:14:2 @ One believes he may eat anything, while the weak man eats only vegetables.
rsv@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats despise him who abstains, and let not him who abstains pass judgment on him who eats; for God has welcomed him.
rsv@Romans:14:5 @ One man esteems one day as better than another, while another man esteems all days alike. Let every one be fully convinced in his own mind.
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:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
rsv@Romans:14:13 @ 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:14:14 @ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for any one who thinks it unclean.
rsv@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is being injured by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what you eat cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died.
rsv@Romans:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit;
rsv@Romans:14:19 @ Let us then pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.
