So

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.

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.”

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.”

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.

So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.

So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.

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.

The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

…so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

…so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?

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.

So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.

I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.

So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.

So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.

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.

So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

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.

…because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

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.

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.

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

So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.

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

I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.

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.

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

…so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you.

For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone.

…so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.

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.”

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

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.

He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.

For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

…so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

…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.”

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

…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.

…by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

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.

So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.

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

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.

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.

…so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.

…so that no one may boast in His presence.

…so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.

For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

“For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise.

So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.

For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

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.

So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church?

But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.

Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, so that Satan will not tempt you through your lack of self-control.

So then, he who marries the virgin does well, but he who does not marry her does even better.

So about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.

But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.

So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.

Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to stumble.

What then is my reward? That in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not use up my rights in preaching it.

To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.

I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.

No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.

For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

So, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters.

The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.

…so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be edified.

So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.

So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who are uninstructed or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your minds?
