The scripture

For what does the Scripture say?

Abraham believed God,
and it was credited to him for righteousness.

For the Scripture tells Pharaoh:

I raised you up for this reason
so that I may display My power in you
and that My name may be proclaimed in all the earth.

Now the Scripture says, Everyone who believes on Him will not be put to shame,

God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he pleads with God against Israel?

Now the Scripture saw in advance that God would justify the Gentiles by faith and told the good news ahead of time to Abraham, saying, All the nations will be blessed through you.

Or do you think it’s without reason the Scripture says that the Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously?

Thou

“Do not muzzle an ox while it treads out grain.

For it is written in the law of Moses, Do not muzzle an ox

while it treads out grain.

Is God really concerned with oxen?

The labourer

“You must not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages due a hired hand must not remain with you until morning.

“Do not oppress a hired hand who is poor and needy, whether one of your brothers or one of the foreigners residing within a town in your land.

Don’t take a traveling bag for the road, or an extra shirt, sandals, or a walking stick, for the worker is worthy of his food.

Remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they offer, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Don’t be moving from house to house.
