- For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.
- For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
- Then, by the will of God, I will be able to come to you with a joyful heart, and we will be an encouragement to each other.
- 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.
- So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.
- For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
- 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.
- Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death?
- The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
- Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.
- 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.
- Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.
- Pay your taxes, too, for these same reasons. For government workers need to be paid. They are serving God in what they do.
- Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.
- 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.
- Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?
- For the Scriptures say,
“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bend to me,
and every tongue will declare allegiance to God.’” - 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.
- If we live, it’s to honor the Lord. And if we die, it’s to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
- Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.
- 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.
- 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!
- Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
- If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
- May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus.
