Is

…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.

…the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory and the covenants; theirs the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises.

Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them proceeds the human descent of Christ, who is God over all, forever worthy of praise! Amen.

It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

So it is not the children of the flesh who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring.

So it is not the children of the flesh who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring.

For this is what the promise stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”

So it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Certainly not!

But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”

As He says in Hosea: “I will call them ‘My People’ who are not My people, and I will call her ‘My Beloved’ who is not My beloved,”

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

It is just as Isaiah foretold: “Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.”

What then will we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;

…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.”

Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.

For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.

For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”

But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)

But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)

…or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”

But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:

But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:

But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:

…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 there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,

And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.

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

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

…as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear, to this very day.”

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

If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

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

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!

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

And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”

Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

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.

We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith;

…if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;

…if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;

…if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is giving, let him give generously; if it is leading, let him lead with diligence; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

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

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

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody.

If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.

Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”

Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.

Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.

Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

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.

Therefore it is necessary to submit to authority, not only to avoid punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.

This is also why you pay taxes. For the authorities are God’s servants, who devote themselves to their work.

Pay everyone what you owe him: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.

Pay everyone what you owe him: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.

Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on his opinions.

For one person has faith to eat all things, while another, who is weak, eats only vegetables.

Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

It is written: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God.”

I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.

If your brother is distressed by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother, for whom Christ died.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

For whoever serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.

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.

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.

It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.

Keep your belief about such matters between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.

For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”

…so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to Your name.”

Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”

That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

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.

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.

Now to Him who is able to strengthen you by my gospel and by the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery concealed for ages past

God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”
