Romans:1:7 @ To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be holy. May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be yours!
isv@Romans:1:10 @ in my prayers at all times, asking that somehow by God's will I may at last succeed in coming to you.
isv@Romans:1:11 @ For I am longing to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong,
isv@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
isv@Romans:1:13 @ I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now), so that I might reap a harvest among you, just as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.
isv@Romans:1:15 @ That is why I am so eager to proclaim the gospel to you who live in Rome, too.
isv@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God's power for the salvation of everyone who believes, of the Jew first and of the Greek as well.
isv@Romans:1:18 @ For God's wrath is being revealed from heaven against all the ungodliness and wickedness of those who in their wickedness suppress the truth.
isv@Romans:1:19 @ For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God himself has made it plain to them.
isv@Romans:1:20 @ For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been understood and observed by what he made, so that people are without excuse.
isv@Romans:1:23 @ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images that looked like mortal human beings, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.
isv@Romans:1:25 @ They exchanged God's truth for a lie and worshipped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
isv@Romans:1:26 @ For this reason, God gave them over to degrading passions. Even their females exchanged their natural sexual function for one that is unnatural.
isv@Romans:1:27 @ In the same way, their males also abandoned the natural sexual function of females and burned with lust for one another. Males committed indecent acts with males, and received in themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion.
isv@Romans:1:28 @ Furthermore, because they did not think it worthwhile to retain the full knowledge of God, God gave them over to degraded minds to perform acts that should not be done.
isv@Romans:1:30 @ slanderers, God-haters, haughty, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to their parents,
isv@Romans:1:32 @ Although they know God's just requirement—that those who practice such things deserve to die—they not only do these things but even applaud others who practice them.
isv@Romans:2:2 @ Now we know that God's judgment against those who practice such is based on truth.
isv@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you think so little of the riches of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, not realizing that it is God's kindness that is leading you to repentance?
isv@Romans:2:5 @ But because of your stubborn and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
isv@Romans:2:6 @ For he will repay everyone according to what that person has done:
isv@Romans:2:7 @ eternal life to those who strive for glory, honor, and immortality by patiently doing good;
isv@Romans:2:8 @ but wrath and fury for those who in their selfish pride refuse to believe the truth and practice wickedness instead.
isv@Romans:2:14 @ For whenever Gentiles, who do not possess the law, do instinctively what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.
isv@Romans:2:15 @ They show that what the law requires is written in their hearts, a fact to which their own consciences testify, and their thoughts will either accuse or excuse them
isv@Romans:2:16 @ on that day when God, through Jesus Christ, will judge people's secrets according to my gospel.
isv@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will, and approve of what is best because you have been instructed in the law;
isv@Romans:2:19 @ and if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light to those in darkness,
isv@Romans:2:29 @ No, a person is a Jew inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by a written law. That person's praise will come from God, not from people.
isv@Romans:3:1 @ What advantage, then, does the Jew have, or what value is there in circumcision?
isv@Romans:3:3 @ What if some of them were unfaithful? Their unfaithfulness cannot cancel God's faithfulness, can it?
isv@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness serves to confirm God's righteousness, what can we say? God is not unrighteous when he vents his wrath on us, is he? (I am talking in human terms.)
isv@Romans:3:8 @ Or can we say—as some people slander us by claiming that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!
isv@Romans:3:9 @ What, then, does this mean? Are we Jews any better off? Not at all! For we have already accused everyone, both Jews and Greeks, of being under the power of sin.
isv@Romans:3:13 @ Their throats are open graves.With their tongues they practice deception.The venom of poisonous snakes is under their lips.
isv@Romans:3:17 @ They have not learned the path to peace.
isv@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the law says applies to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
isv@Romans:3:21 @ But now, apart from the law, God's righteousness is revealed and is attested by the Law and the Prophets—
isv@Romans:3:24 @ By his grace they are justified freely through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
isv@Romans:3:25 @ whom God offered as a place where atonement by Christ's blood could occur through faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because he had waited patiently to deal with sins committed in the past.
isv@Romans:3:26 @ He wanted to demonstrate at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies the person who has the faithfulness of Jesus.
isv@Romans:3:27 @ What, then, is there to boast about? That has been eliminated. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on the principle of faith.
isv@Romans:3:28 @ For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works prescribed by the law.
isv@Romans:3:30 @ since there is only one God who will justify the circumcised on the basis of faith and the uncircumcised by that same faith.
isv@Romans:4:1 @ What, then, are we to say about Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh?
isv@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
isv@Romans:4:4 @ Now to someone who works, wages are not considered a gift but an obligation.
isv@Romans:4:10 @ Under what circumstances was it credited? Was he circumcised or uncircumcised? He had not been circumcised, but was uncircumcised.
isv@Romans:4:11 @ Afterward he received the mark of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. Therefore, he is the ancestor of all who believe while uncircumcised, in order that righteousness may be credited to them.
isv@Romans:4:12 @ He is also the ancestor of the circumcised—those who are not only circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
isv@Romans:4:13 @ For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law, but through the righteousness produced by faith.
isv@Romans:4:15 @ for the law brings about wrath. Now where there is no law, neither can there be any violation of it.
isv@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore, the promise is based on faith, so that it may be a matter of grace and may be guaranteed for all his descendants—not only for those who were given the law, but also for those who share Abraham's faith, who is the father of us all.
isv@Romans:4:17 @ As it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations.” Abraham acted in faith when he stood in God's presence, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence things that don't even exist.
isv@Romans:4:18 @ Hoping in spite of hopeless circumstances, he believed that he would become “the father of many nations,” just as he had been told: “This is how many descendants you will have.”
isv@Romans:4:19 @ He did not weaken in faith when he thought about his own body (which was already as good as dead now that he was about a hundred years old) or about Sarah's inability to have children,
isv@Romans:4:21 @ being absolutely convinced that God would do what he had promised.
isv@Romans:4:25 @ He was handed over to death because of our sins and was raised to life because of our justification.
isv@Romans:5:3 @ Not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
isv@Romans:5:6 @ For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
isv@Romans:5:8 @ But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that Christ died for us while we were still sinners.
isv@Romans:5:9 @ Now that we have been justified by his blood, how much more will we be saved from wrath through him!
isv@Romans:5:10 @ For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life!
isv@Romans:5:11 @ Not only that, but we also continue to boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation.
isv@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so death spread to everyone, because all have sinned.
isv@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless, death ruled from the time of Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the same way Adam did when he disobeyed. He is a type of the one who would come.
isv@Romans:5:16 @ Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned. For the sentence that followed one man's offense brought condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses.
isv@Romans:5:17 @ For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man's offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus Christ!
isv@Romans:5:18 @ Consequently, just as one offense resulted in condemnation for everyone, so one act of righteousness results in justification and life for everyone.
isv@Romans:5:20 @ Now the law crept in so that the offense would increase. But where sin increased, grace increased even more,
isv@Romans:5:21 @ so that, just as sin ruled by bringing death, so also grace might rule by bringing justification that results in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
isv@Romans:6:1 @ What should we say, then? Should we go on sinning so that grace may increase?
isv@Romans:6:3 @ Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
isv@Romans:6:4 @ Therefore, through baptism we were buried with him into his death so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father's glory, we too may live an entirely new life.
isv@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have become united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
isv@Romans:6:6 @ We know that our old selves were crucified with him so that our sinful bodies might be rendered powerless and we might no longer be slaves to sin.
isv@Romans:6:8 @ Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
isv@Romans:6:9 @ for we know that Christ, who was raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has mastery over him.
isv@Romans:6:10 @ For when he died, he died once and for all as far as sin is concerned. But now that he is alive, he lives for God.
isv@Romans:6:12 @ Therefore, do not let sin rule your mortal bodies so that you obey their desires.
isv@Romans:6:13 @ Stop offering the parts of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness. Instead, offer yourselves to God as people who have been brought from death to life and the parts of your body as instruments of righteousness to God.
isv@Romans:6:15 @ What, then, does this mean? Should we go on sinning because we are not under law but under grace? Of course not!
isv@Romans:6:16 @ Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
isv@Romans:6:17 @ But thank God that, though you were once slaves of sin, you became obedient from your hearts to that form of teaching with which you were entrusted!
isv@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking in human terms because of the frailty of your flesh. Just as you once offered the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to greater and greater disobedience, so now, in the same way, you must offer the parts of your body as slaves to righteousness that leads to sanctification.
isv@Romans:6:21 @ What benefit did you get from doing those things you are now ashamed of? For those things resulted in death.
isv@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been freed from sin and have become God's slaves, the benefit you reap is sanctification, and the result is eternal life.
isv@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in union with Christ Jesus our Lord.
isv@Romans:7:1 @ Don't you realize, brothers—for I am speaking to people who know the law—that the law can press its claims over a person only as long as he is alive?
isv@Romans:7:3 @ So while her husband is living, she will be called an adulterer even if she lives with another man. But if her husband dies, she is free from this law, so that she is not an adulterer if she marries another man.
isv@Romans:7:4 @ In the same way, my brothers, through Christ's body you also died as far as the law is concerned, so that you may belong to another person, the one who was raised from the dead, and may bear fruit for God.
isv@Romans:7:5 @ For while we were living in the flesh, sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies to bear fruit for death.
isv@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been released from the law by dying to what enslaved us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit, not under the old written code.
isv@Romans:7:7 @ What should we say, then? Is the law sinful? Of course not! In fact, I wouldn't have known sin if it had not been for the law. For I wouldn't have known what it means to covet if the law had not said, “You must not covet.”
isv@Romans:7:9 @ At one time I was alive without any connection to the law. But when the commandment came, sin sprang to life,
isv@Romans:7:10 @ and I died. I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.
isv@Romans:7:13 @ Now, did something good bring me death? Of course not! But in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used something good to cause my death, so that through the commandment sin might become more sinful than ever.
isv@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am mere flesh, sold as a slave to sin.
isv@Romans:7:15 @ I don't understand what I am doing. For I don't do what I want to do, but instead do what I hate.
isv@Romans:7:16 @ Now if I do what I don't want to do, I agree that the law is good.
isv@Romans:7:17 @ As it is, I am no longer the one who is doing it, but it is the sin that lives in me.
isv@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but I cannot carry it out.
isv@Romans:7:19 @ For I don't do the good I want to do, but instead do the evil that I don't want to do.
isv@Romans:7:20 @ But if I do what I don't want to do, I am no longer the one who is doing it, but it is the sin that lives in me.
isv@Romans:7:21 @ So I find this to be a law: when I want to do what is good, evil is right there with me.
isv@Romans:7:23 @ but I see in my body a different law waging war with the law in my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin that exists in my body.
isv@Romans:7:24 @ What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
isv@Romans:8:1 @ Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in union with Christ Jesus.
isv@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.
isv@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to deal with sin. He condemned sin in the flesh
isv@Romans:8:4 @ so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
isv@Romans:8:6 @ To set our minds on the flesh leads to death, but to set our minds on the Spirit leads to life and peace.
isv@Romans:8:7 @ That is why the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile toward God. For it refuses to submit to the authority of God's law because it is powerless to do so.
isv@Romans:8:12 @ Consequently, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
isv@Romans:8:13 @ For if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die, but if by the Spirit you continually put to death the activities of the body, you will live.
isv@Romans:8:15 @ For you have not received a spirit of slavery that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
isv@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
isv@Romans:8:17 @ Now if we are children, we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if, in fact, we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
isv@Romans:8:18 @ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.
isv@Romans:8:19 @ For the creation is eagerly waiting for God to reveal his children,
isv@Romans:8:20 @ because the creation was subjected to frustration, though not by its own choice. The one who subjected it did so in the hope
isv@Romans:8:21 @ that the creation itself would also be set free from slavery to decay in order to share the glorious freedom of God's children.
isv@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that all creation has been groaning with the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
isv@Romans:8:23 @ However, not only creation groans, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit also groan inwardly as we eagerly wait for our adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
isv@Romans:8:24 @ For we were saved with this hope in mind. Now hope that is seen is not really hope, for who hopes for what can be seen?
isv@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with patience.
isv@Romans:8:28 @ And we know that he works all things together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
isv@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 firstborn among many brothers.
isv@Romans:8:31 @ What, then, can we say about all of this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
isv@Romans:8:33 @ Who can bring an accusation against God's chosen people? It is God who justifies them!
isv@Romans:8:34 @ Who can condemn them? Christ Jesus, who died—and more importantly, who has been raised and is seated at the right hand of God—is the one who is also interceding for us!
isv@Romans:8:35 @ Who can separate us from Christ's love? Can trouble, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or a sword?
isv@Romans:8:38 @ For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
isv@Romans:8:39 @ nor anything above, nor anything below, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
isv@Romans:9:3 @ for I could wish that I myself were condemned and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my relatives according to the flesh.
isv@Romans:9:5 @ To them belong the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, Christ descended, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.
isv@Romans:9:7 @ and not all of Abraham's descendants are his true descendants. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that descendants will be named for you.”
isv@Romans:9:8 @ That is, it is not the children of natural descent who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as descendants.
isv@Romans:9:9 @ For this is the language of promise: “At this time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”
isv@Romans:9:10 @ Not only that, but Rebecca became pregnant by our ancestor Isaac.
isv@Romans:9:11 @ Yet before their children had been born or had done anything good or bad (so that God's plan of election might continue to operate
isv@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
isv@Romans:9:14 @ What can we say, then? God is not unrighteous, is he? Of course not!
isv@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “I have raised you up for this very purpose,to demonstrate my power in you and that my name might be proclaimedin all the earth.”
isv@Romans:9:20 @ On the contrary, who are you—mere man that you are—to talk back to God? Can an object that was molded say to the one who molded it, “Why did you make me like this?”
isv@Romans:9:21 @ A potter has the right to do what he wants to with his clay, doesn't he? He can make something for a special occasion or something for ordinary use from the same lump.
isv@Romans:9:22 @ Now if God wants to demonstrate his wrath and reveal his power, can't he be extremely patient with the objects of his wrath that are made for destruction?
isv@Romans:9:23 @ Can't he also reveal his glorious riches to the objects of his mercy that he has prepared ahead of time for glory—
isv@Romans:9:30 @ What can we say, then? Gentiles, who were not pursuing righteousness, have attained righteousness, a righteousness that comes through faith.
isv@Romans:9:31 @ But Israel, who did pursue the righteousness that is based on the law, did not arrive at that law.
isv@Romans:9:32 @ Why not? Because they did not pursue it on the basis of faith, but as if it were based on works. They stumbled over the stone that causes people to stumble.
isv@Romans:9:33 @ As it is written, “Look! I am placing a stone in Zionthat people will stumble over and a large rock that will make them fall,and the one who believes in him will never be ashamed.”
isv@Romans:10:1 @ Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God on behalf of the Jews is that they would be saved.
isv@Romans:10:2 @ For I can testify on their behalf that they have a zeal for God, but it is not in keeping with full knowledge.
isv@Romans:10:3 @ For they are ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God while they try to establish their own, and they have not submitted to God's righteousness.
isv@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ is the culmination of the law as far as righteousness is concerned for everyone who believes.
isv@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses writes about the righteousness that comes from the law as follows: “The person who obeys these things will find life in them.”
isv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness that comes from faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down),
isv@Romans:10:7 @ or ‘Who will go down into the depths?’ (that is, to bring Christ back from the dead).”
isv@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? “The message is near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart.” This is the message of faith that we proclaim:
isv@Romans:10:9 @ If you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
isv@Romans:10:19 @ Again I ask, “Did Israel not understand?” Moses was the first to say, “I will make you jealousby those who are not a nation; I will make you angryby a nation that doesn't understand.”
isv@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he chose long ago. Don't you know what the Scripture says in the story about Elijah, when he pleads with God against Israel?
isv@Romans:11:4 @ But what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for myself 7,000 people who have not knelt to worship Baal.”
isv@Romans:11:5 @ So it is at the present time: there is a remnant, chosen by grace.
isv@Romans:11:7 @ What, then, does this mean? It means that Israel failed to obtain what it was striving for, but those who were chosen obtained it. However, the rest were hardened.
isv@Romans:11:10 @ Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,and keep their backs forever bent.”
isv@Romans:11:11 @ And so I ask, “They have not stumbled so as to fall, have they?” Of course not! On the contrary, because of their stumbling, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make the Jews jealous.
isv@Romans:11:14 @ in the hope that I can make my people jealous and save some of them.
isv@Romans:11:15 @ For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?
isv@Romans:11:16 @ If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
isv@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast about being better than the other branches. If you boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
isv@Romans:11:19 @ Then you will say, “Branches were cut off so that I could be grafted in.”
isv@Romans:11:20 @ That's right! They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you remain only because of faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid!
isv@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, he certainly will not spare you either.
isv@Romans:11:24 @ After all, if you were cut off from what is naturally a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much easier it will be for these natural branches to be grafted back into their own olive tree!
isv@Romans:11:25 @ For I do not want you to be ignorant of this secret, brothers, so that you will not claim to be wiser than you are. A partial hardening has come on Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.
isv@Romans:11:31 @ in order they too have disobeyed in the present so that they may receive mercy because of the mercy shown to you.
isv@Romans:11:32 @ For God has locked all people in the prison of their own disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
isv@Romans:12:1 @ I therefore urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercies, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices that are holy and pleasing to God, for this is the reasonable way for you to worship.
isv@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be conformed to this world, but continually be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may be able to determine what God's will is—what is proper, pleasing, and perfect.
isv@Romans:12:3 @ For by the grace given to me I ask every one of you not to think of yourself more highly than you should think, rather to think of yourself with sober judgment on the measure of faith that God has assigned each of you.
isv@Romans:12:6 @ We have different gifts based on the grace that was given to us. So if your gift is prophecy, use your gift in proportion to your faith.
isv@Romans:12:9 @ Your love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.
isv@Romans:12:12 @ Be joyful in hope, patient in trouble, and persistent in prayer.
isv@Romans:12:16 @ Live in harmony with each other. Do not be arrogant, but associate with humble people. Do not think that you are wiser than you really are.
isv@Romans:12:17 @ Do not pay anyone back evil for evil, but focus your thoughts on what is right in the sight of all people.
isv@Romans:12:19 @ Do not take revenge, dear fiends, but leave room for God's wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will pay them back, declares the Lord.”
isv@Romans:13:2 @ so that whoever resists the authorities opposes what God has established, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
isv@Romans:13:3 @ For the authorities are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you like to live without being afraid of the authorities? Then do what is right, and you will receive their approval.
isv@Romans:13:4 @ For they are God's servants working for your good. But if you do what is wrong, you should be afraid, for it is not without reason that they bear the sword. Indeed, they are God's servants to execute wrath on anyone who does wrong.
isv@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore, it is necessary for you to be subject, not only because of God's wrath but also because of your own conscience.
isv@Romans:13:7 @ Pay everyone whatever you owe them—taxes to whom taxes are due, tolls to whom tolls are due, fear to whom fear is due, honor to whom honor is due.
isv@Romans:13:9 @ For the commandments, “You must not commit adultery; you must not murder; you must not steal; you must not covet,” and every other commandment are summed up in this statement: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”
isv@Romans:13:10 @ Love never does anything that is harmful to its neighbor. Therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law.
isv@Romans:13:11 @ This is necessary because you know the times—that it's time for you to wake up from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we became believers.
isv@Romans:14:2 @ One person believes that he can eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables.
isv@Romans:14:3 @ The person who eats must not despise the person who does not eat, and the person who does not eat must not criticize the person who eats, for God has accepted him.
isv@Romans:14:5 @ One person decides that one day is better than another, while another person decides that all days are the same. Each one must be fully convinced in his own mind.
isv@Romans:14:6 @ The one who observes a special day, observes it to honor the Lord. The one who eats, eats to honor the Lord, since he gives thanks to God. And the one who does not eat, refrains from eating to honor the Lord; yet he, too, gives thanks to God.
isv@Romans:14:9 @ For this reason Christ died and returned to life, so that he might become the Lord of both the dead and the living.
isv@Romans:14:10 @ Why, then, do you criticize your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For all of us will stand before the judgment seat of God.
isv@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in and of itself. But it is unclean to a person who thinks it is unclean.
isv@Romans:14:15 @ For if your brother is being hurt by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not destroy the person for whom Christ died by what you eat.
isv@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore, let us keep on pursuing those things that bring peace and that lead to building one another up.
isv@Romans:14:20 @ Do not destroy God's work for the sake of food. Everything is clean, but it is wrong to make another person fall because of what you eat.
isv@Romans:14:21 @ The right thing to do is to avoid eating meat, drinking wine, or doing anything else that makes your brother stumble or become upset or weak.
isv@Romans:14:22 @ As for the faith you do have, have it as your own conviction before God. How blessed is the person who has no reason to condemn himself because of what he approves!
isv@Romans:14:23 @ But the person who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not act in faith; and anything that is not done in faith is sin.
isv@Romans:15:1 @ Now we who are strong ought to be patient with the weaknesses of those who are not strong and must stop pleasing ourselves.
isv@Romans:15:4 @ For everything that was written long ago was written for our instruction, so that we might have hope through the endurance and encouragement that the Scriptures give us.
isv@Romans:15:6 @ so that with one mind and one voice you might glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
isv@Romans:15:8 @ For I tell you that Christ became a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God's truth in order to confirm the promises given to our forefathers,
isv@Romans:15:9 @ so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “That is why I will praise you among the Gentiles;I will sing praises to your name.”
isv@Romans:15:11 @ And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!Let all the nations praise him.”
isv@Romans:15:13 @ Now may God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace as you believe, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
isv@Romans:15:14 @ I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are filled with goodness and full of all the knowledge you need to be able to instruct each other.
isv@Romans:15:15 @ However, on some points I have written to you rather boldly, both as a reminder to you and because of the grace given me by God
isv@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 might be acceptable because it has been sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
isv@Romans:15:18 @ For I am bold enough to tell you only about what Christ has accomplished through me in the bringing of Gentiles to obedience. By my words and actions,
isv@Romans:15:20 @ My one ambition is to proclaim the gospel where the name of Christ is not known, lest I build on someone else's foundation.
isv@Romans:15:21 @ Rather, as it is written, “Those who were never told about him will see,and those who have never heard will understand.”
isv@Romans:15:24 @ Now that I am on my way to Spain, I hope to see you when I come your way and, after I have enjoyed your company for a while, to be sent on by you.
isv@Romans:15:27 @ Yes, they were eager to do this, and in fact they are obligated to help them, for if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to be of service to them in material things.
isv@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you I will come with the full blessing of Christ.
isv@Romans:15:30 @ Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love that the Spirit produces, to join me in my struggle, earnestly praying to God for me
isv@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea, that my ministry to Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
isv@Romans:15:32 @ and that by the will of God I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.
isv@Romans:16:1 @ Now I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant in the church at Cenchreae.
isv@Romans:16:2 @ Welcome her in the Lord as is appropriate for saints, and provide her with anything she may need from you, for she has assisted many people, including me.
isv@Romans:16:8 @ Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord.
isv@Romans:16:14 @ Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.
isv@Romans:16:17 @ Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and sinful enticements in opposition to the teaching you have learned. Stay away from them!
isv@Romans:16:18 @ For such people are not serving Christ our Lord but their own desires. By their smooth talk and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.
isv@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has become known to everyone, and I am full of joy for you. But I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.
isv@Romans:16:20 @ The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!
isv@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.
isv@Romans:16:25 @ Now to the one who is able to strengthen you by my gospel and the message that I preach about Jesus Christ, by revealing the secret that was kept in silence in long ages past
isv@1Corinthians:1:3 @ May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be yours!
isv@1Corinthians:1:8 @ He will keep you strong until the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
isv@1Corinthians:1:10 @ Brothers, I urge all of you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to be in agreement and not to have divisions among you, so that you may be perfectly united in your understanding and opinions.
isv@1Corinthians:1:11 @ My brothers, some members of Chloe's family have made it clear to me that there are quarrels among you.
isv@1Corinthians:1:12 @ This is what I mean: Each of you is saying, “I belong to Paul,” or “I belong to Apollos,” or “I belong to Cephas,” or “I belong to Christ.”
isv@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Chrispus and Gaius,
isv@1Corinthians:1:15 @ lest anyone can say that you were baptized in my name.
isv@1Corinthians:1:16 @ (Yes, I also baptized the family of Stephanus. Beyond that, I'm not sure whether I baptized anyone else.)
isv@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God chose what is nonsense in the world to make the wise feel ashamed. God chose what is weak in the world to make the strong feel ashamed.
isv@1Corinthians:1:28 @ And God chose what is insignificant in the world, what is despised, what is nothing, in order to destroy what is something,
isv@1Corinthians:1:29 @ so that no human being may boast in God's presence.
isv@1Corinthians:1:30 @ It is because of him that you are in union with Christ Jesus, who for us has become wisdom from God, as well as our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
isv@1Corinthians:2:3 @ It was in weakness, fear, and great trembling that I came to you.
isv@1Corinthians:2:5 @ so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on God's power.![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
