Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
-
Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
-
To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
-
But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.
-
For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
-
if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark,
-
an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—
-
So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?
-
Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.

he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
-
“Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
-

Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!
-
For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
-
Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
-
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
-
By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

Life Through the Spirit
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
-

Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
