Bible Verses about 'Romans 6 23'
- For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
- Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?
- Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death?
- Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin.
- Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.
- Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.
- Well then, since God’s grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not!
- But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life.
- Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, “You must not covet.”
- So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.
- Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit.
- So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.
- That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.
- The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
- For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
- So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”
- For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.
- Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.
- For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.
- But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.
- And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
- And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.
- And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
- What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?
- Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?
- Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?
- No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
- And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- 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.
- If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
- 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.
- As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”
- For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
- So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.
- Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
- For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
- And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
- Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
- Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
- Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
- Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.
- Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.
- Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.
- Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
- Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them.
- Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep.
- Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!
- Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.
- Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,
“I will take revenge;
I will pay them back,”
says the Lord. - Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.
