Romans:1:5 @ Through him we received grace and a commission as an apostle to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name.
isv@Romans:1:6 @ You, too, are among those who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ.
isv@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:1:9 @ For God, whom I serve in my spirit by preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I mention you
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:1:17 @ For in it God's righteousness is being revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, “The righteous will live by faith.”
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:1:20 @ 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:1:21 @ For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him. Instead, their thoughts turned to worthless things, and their ignorant hearts were darkened.
isv@Romans:1:24 @ For this reason, God gave them over to impurity to follow the lusts of their hearts and to dishonor their bodies with one another.
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:1:29 @ They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and viciousness. They are gossips,
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:2:1 @ Therefore, you have no excuse—every one of you who judges. For when you pass judgment on another person, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, practice the very same things.
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:2:9 @ There will be suffering and anguish for every human being who practices doing evil, for Jews first and for Greeks as well.
isv@Romans:2:10 @ But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who practices doing good, for Jews first and for Greeks as well.
isv@Romans:2:12 @ For all who have sinned apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
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:2:18 @ and know his will, and approve of what is best because you have been instructed in the law;
isv@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of ignorant people, and a teacher of infants because you have the full content of knowledge and truth in the law—
isv@Romans:2:25 @ For circumcision is valuable if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
isv@Romans:2:27 @ The man who is uncircumcised physically but who keeps the law will condemn you who break the law, even though you have the written law and circumcision.
isv@Romans:3:1 @ What advantage, then, does the Jew have, or what value is there in circumcision?
isv@Romans:3:2 @ There are all kinds of advantages! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the utterances of God.
isv@Romans:3:4 @ Of course not! God is true, even if everyone else is a liar. As it is written, “You are right when you speak,and win your case when you go into court.”
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:3:10 @ As it is written, “Not even one person is righteous.
isv@Romans:3:12 @ All have turned away.Together they have become worthless.No one shows kindness, not even one person!
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:3:22 @ God's righteousness through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction,
isv@Romans:3:23 @ since all have sinned and continue to fall short of God's glory.
isv@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he would have had something to boast about—though not before God.
isv@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
isv@Romans:4:5 @ However, to someone who does not work, but simply believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.
isv@Romans:4:7 @ “How blessed are those whose iniquities are forgivenand whose sins are covered!
isv@Romans:4:8 @ How blessed is the person whose sinsthe Lord will never charge against him!”
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:4:14 @ For if those who were given the law are the heirs, then faith is useless and the promise is worthless,
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:4:20 @ nor did he doubt God's promise out of a lack of faith. Instead, he became strong in faith and gave glory to God,
isv@Romans:4:24 @ but also for us. Our faith will be regarded in the same way, if we believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
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:5:1 @ Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
isv@Romans:5:2 @ Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in our hope of sharing God's glory.
isv@Romans:5:5 @ Now this hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
isv@Romans:5:7 @ For it is rare for anyone to die for a righteous person, though somebody might be brave enough to die for a good person.
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:5:13 @ Certainly sin was in the world before the law was given, but no record of sin is kept when there is no law.
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:5:15 @ But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus Christ, been showered on many people!
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: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:6:11 @ In the same way, you too must continually consider yourselves dead as far as sin is concerned, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
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:6:14 @ For sin will not have mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.
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:6:18 @ And since you have been freed from sin, you have become slaves of righteousness.
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:6:20 @ For when you were slaves of sin, you were free as far as righteousness was concerned.
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: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:7:6 @ 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:7:11 @ For sin, seizing the opportunity provided by the commandment, deceived me and used it to kill me.
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:7:17 @ 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:7:20 @ 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:7:25 @ Thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
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:8:5 @ 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.
isv@Romans:8:9 @ You, however, are not of the flesh but under the control of the Spirit, since God's Spirit lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.
isv@Romans:8:11 @ And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, then the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.
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:8:18 @ 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:8:21 @ 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:8:23 @ 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:8:28 @ 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:8:32 @ The one who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for all of us—surely he will give us all things along with him, won't he?
isv@Romans:8:35 @ Who can separate us from Christ's love? Can trouble, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or a sword?
isv@Romans:8:37 @ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through the one who loved us.
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:9:2 @ I have deep sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart,
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:9:4 @ They are Israelites. To them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises.
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:9:9 @ For this is the language of promise: “At this time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”
isv@Romans:9:12 @ according to his calling and not by works), Rebecca was told, “The older child will serve the younger one.”
isv@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
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:9:18 @ Therefore, God has mercy on whomever he chooses, and he hardens the heart of whomever he chooses.
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:9:25 @ As he says in Hosea, “Those who are not my peopleI will call my people, and the one who was not lovedI will call my loved one.
isv@Romans:9:26 @ In the very place where it was said to them,‘You are not my people,’they will be called children of the living God.”
isv@Romans:9:27 @ Isaiah also calls out concerning Israel, “Although the descendants of Israelare as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore,only a few will be saved.
isv@Romans:9:28 @ For the Lord will carry out his planand shorten it in righteousness,because he will carry out his plan on the earth decisively.”
isv@Romans:9:29 @ It is just as Isaiah predicted: “If the Lord of the Heavenly Armieshad not left us some descendants,we would have become like Sodomand would have been compared to Gomorrah.”
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:10:6 @ 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:10:9 @ 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:10:10 @ For a person believes with his heart and is justified, and a person declares with his mouth and is saved.
isv@Romans:10:11 @ For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be ashamed.”
isv@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no difference between Jew and Greek, because they all have the same Lord, who gives richly to all who call on him.
isv@Romans:10:13 @ For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
isv@Romans:10:14 @ How, then, can people call on someone they have not believed? And how can they believe in someone they have not heard about? And how can they hear without someone preaching?
isv@Romans:10:16 @ But not everyone has obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah asks, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
isv@Romans:10:20 @ And Isaiah boldly says, “I was found by those who were not looking for me;I was revealed to those who were not asking for me.”
isv@Romans:10:21 @ But about Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my handsto a disobedient and rebellious people.”
isv@Romans:11:3 @ “Lord, they have killed your prophets and demolished your altars. I am the only one left, and they are trying to take my life.”
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:11:7 @ 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:11:8 @ As it is written, “To this day God has given them a spirit of deep sleep.Their eyes do not see, and their ears do not hear.”
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:11:17 @ Now if some of the branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive branch, have been grafted in their place to share the rich root of the olive tree,
isv@Romans:11:22 @ Consider, then, the kindness and severity of God: his severity toward those who fell, but God's kindness toward you—if you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you too will be cut off.
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:11:26 @ In this way, all Israel will be saved. As it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion;he will remove ungodliness from Jacob.
isv@Romans:11:27 @ This is my covenant with themwhen I take away their sins.”
isv@Romans:11:28 @ As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake, but as far as election is concerned, they are loved because of their ancestors.
isv@Romans:11:29 @ For God's gifts and calling never change.
isv@Romans:11:30 @ For just as you disobeyed God in the past but now have received his mercy because of their disobedience,
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:11:35 @ Who has given him somethingonly to have him pay it back?”
isv@Romans:11:36 @ For all things are from him, by him, and for him. Glory belongs to him forever! Amen.
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:12:4 @ For we have many parts in one body, but these parts do not all have the same function.
isv@Romans:12:5 @ In the same way, even though we are many people, we are one body in Christ and individual parts connected to each other.
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:12:11 @ Never be lazy in showing such devotion. Be on fire with the Spirit. Serve the Lord.
isv@Romans:12:14 @ Bless those who persecute you. Keep on blessing them, and never curse them.
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:12:18 @ If possible, so far as it depends on you, live in peace with 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:12:20 @ But “if your enemy is hungry, feed him. For if he is thirsty, give him a drink. If you do this, you will pile burning coals on his head.”
isv@Romans:13:1 @ Every person must be subject to the governing authorities, for no authority exists except by God's permission. The existing authorities have been established by God,
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:13:6 @ This is also why you pay taxes. For rulers are God's servants faithfully devoting themselves to their work.
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:13:8 @ Do not owe anyone anything—except to love one another. For the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
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:13:12 @ The night is almost over, and the day is near. Let us therefore put aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.
isv@Romans:13:13 @ Let us behave decently, as people who live in the light of day. No wild parties, drunkenness, sexual immorality, promiscuity, rivalry, or jealousy!
isv@Romans:13:14 @ Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not obey your flesh and its desires.
isv@Romans:14:1 @ Accept the person who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of arguing over differences of opinion.
isv@Romans:14:2 @ One person believes that he can eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables.
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:14:7 @ For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.
isv@Romans:14:8 @ If we live, we live to honor the Lord; and if we die, we die to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
isv@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written, “As certainly as I live, declares the Lord,every knee will bow to me,and every tongue will praise God.”
isv@Romans:14:12 @ Consequently, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
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:14:18 @ For the person who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people.
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:14:22 @ 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: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:15:3 @ For even Christ did not please himself. Instead, as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”
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:15:5 @ Now may God, the source of endurance and encouragement, allow you to live in harmony with each other as you follow Christ Jesus,
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:15:13 @ 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:15:17 @ Therefore, in Christ Jesus I have the right to boast about my work for God.
isv@Romans:15:19 @ by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of God's Spirit, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ from Jerusalem as far as Illyricum.
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:15:22 @ This is why I have so often been hindered in coming to you.
isv@Romans:15:23 @ But now, having no further opportunities in these regions, I have the desire to come to you, as I have had for many years.
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:15:25 @ Right now, however, I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.
isv@Romans:15:26 @ For the believers in Macedonia and Achaia have been eager to share their resources with the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
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:15:28 @ So when I have completed this task and have put my seal on this contribution of theirs, I will visit you on my way to Spain.
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:16:5 @ Greet also the church in their house. Greet my dear friend Epaenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in Asia.
isv@Romans:16:6 @ Greet Mary, who has worked very hard for you.
isv@Romans:16:10 @ Greet Apelles, who has been approved by Christ. Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobulus.
isv@Romans:16:12 @ Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who have worked hard in the Lord. Greet my dear friend Persis, who has worked very hard in the Lord.
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:16:25 @ 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@Romans:16:27 @ to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory forever! Amen.
isv@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the church of God in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who continually call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours.
isv@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God given you in Christ Jesus.
isv@1Corinthians:1:5 @ For in him you have become rich in every way—in speech and knowledge of every kind.
isv@1Corinthians:1:7 @ Therefore, you don't lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.
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:1:18 @ For the message about the cross is nonsense to those who are being destroyed, but it is God's power to us who are being saved.
isv@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know God, God decided through the nonsense of our preaching to save those who believe.
isv@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For while I was with you I resolved to know nothing except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
isv@1Corinthians:2:4 @ My message and my preaching were not accompanied by clever words of wisdom, but by a display of the Spirit's power,
isv@1Corinthians:2:6 @ However, when we are among mature people, we do speak a message of wisdom, but not the wisdom of this world or of the rulers of this world, who are passing off the scene.
isv@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this world understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.
isv@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But as it is written, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard,and no mind has imagined the things that God has preparedfor those who love him.”
isv@1Corinthians:2:10 @ But God has revealed those things to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things of God.
isv@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now, we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we can understand the things that were freely given to us by God.![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
