- He is the Rock; his deeds are perfect.
Everything he does is just and fair.
He is a faithful God who does no wrong;
how just and upright he is! - So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.
- “All right then,” Joshua said, “destroy the idols among you, and turn your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.”
- Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”
- And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!
- Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong.
- You and I are Jews by birth, not ‘sinners’ like the Gentiles. Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.
- For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.
- Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne.
- Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good?
- You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is beneficial.
- You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. And even though “I am allowed to do anything,” I must not become a slave to anything.
- And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
- Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.
- For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
- Better to have little, with godliness,
than to be rich and dishonest. - For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.
- God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge. He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So what right do you have to judge your neighbor?
- For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God.
- In the night I search for you;
in the morning I earnestly seek you.
For only when you come to judge the earth
will people learn what is right. - Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.
- He personally carried our sins
in his body on the cross
so that we can be dead to sin
and live for what is right.
By his wounds
you are healed. - I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.
- But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
- The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right,
and his ears are open to their prayers.
But the Lord turns his face
against those who do evil.
