What shall

But if our unrighteousness highlights God’s righteousness, what are we to say? I use a human argument:

Is God unrighteous to inflict wrath?

What then can we say that Abraham, our physical ancestor,

has found?

What should we say then? Should we continue in sin so that grace may multiply?

What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin if it were not for the law. For example, I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, Do not covet.

The time

And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they were written one by one, I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.

David

The Lord said to Samuel, “How long are you going to mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem because I have selected a king from his sons.”

“Brothers, I can confidently speak to you about the patriarch David: He is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

After removing him, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man loyal to Me,

who will carry out all My will.’

Samuel

After some time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, because she said, “I requested him from the Lord.”

Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy served the Lord in the presence of Eli the priest.

By this time Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his city, and Saul had removed the mediums and spiritists from the land.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests;
Samuel also was among those calling on His name.
They called to Yahweh and He answered them.

Then the Lord said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My compassions would not reach out to these people. Send them from My presence, and let them go.

“In addition, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those after him, have also announced these days.

This all took about 450 years. After this, He gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

The prophets

Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in that place, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves thrown out.

“But he told him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.’”

All the prophets testify about Him that through His name everyone who believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins.”

Brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the Lord’s name as an example of suffering and patience.

Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that would come to you searched and carefully investigated.

because no prophecy ever came by the will of man; instead, men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

so that you can remember the words previously spoken by the holy prophets and the command of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles.
