Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”

Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.

Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.

He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.

For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.

Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.”

…but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!

For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!

For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection.

We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.

Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

…so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.

I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us.

…that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.

For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.

What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

…neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”

For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”

…and, “It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”

Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.

…as it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

…that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

…for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.

May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”

May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”

For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”

That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.

That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.

Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob.

For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Then do what is right, and you will have his approval.

For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer.

Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.

For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

Do not allow what you consider good, then, to be spoken of as evil.

Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to let his eating be a stumbling block.

…to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.

Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,

Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,

…so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.

The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.

Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

…to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

He will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.

By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds.

…his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.

…his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.

If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.

Now it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

Already you have all you want. Already you have become rich. Without us, you have become kings. How I wish you really were kings, so that we might be kings with you!

…hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means that you are thoroughly defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts,

“Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.

But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man still uncircumcised when called? He should not be circumcised.

Are you committed to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you free of commitment? Do not look for a wife.
