What shall

But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he? (I am speaking in human terms.)

What then shall we say that Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh, has discovered regarding this matter?

What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase?

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, I would not have known sin except through the law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone else if the law had not said, "Do not covet."

The time

There are many other things that Jesus did. If every one of them were written down, I suppose the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

David

The Lord said to Samuel, "How long do you intend to mourn for Saul? I have rejected him as king over Israel. Fill your horn with olive oil and go! I am sending you to Jesse in Bethlehem, for I have selected a king for myself from among his sons."

"Brothers, I can speak confidently to you about our forefather David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

After removing him, God raised up David their king. He testified about him: 'I have found David the son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, who will accomplish everything I want him to do.'

Samuel

After some time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, thinking, "I asked the Lord for him.

Then Elkanah went back home to Ramah. But the boy was serving the Lord under the supervision of Eli the priest.

Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented over him and had buried him in Ramah, his hometown. In the meantime Saul had removed the mediums and magicians from the land.

Moses and Aaron were among his priests; Samuel was one of those who prayed to him. They prayed to the Lord and he answered them.

Then the Lord said to me, "Even if Moses and Samuel stood before me pleading for these people, I would not feel pity for them! Get them away from me! Tell them to go away!

And all the prophets, from Samuel and those who followed him, have spoken about and announced these days.

All this took about four hundred fifty years. After this he gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.

The prophets

Rejoice and be glad because your reward is great in heaven, for they persecuted the prophets before you in the same way.

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

He replied to him, 'If they do not respond to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"

About him all the prophets testify, that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."

As an example of suffering and patience, brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the Lord's name.

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

for no prophecy was ever borne of human impulse; rather, men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

I want you to recall both the predictions foretold by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles.
