'O God' in the Bible

But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast of your relationship to God

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 may be held accountable to God.

He did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life?

For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God.

So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

and do not present your members to sin as instruments to be used for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments to be used for righteousness.

But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were entrusted to,

But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.

So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God.

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes on behalf of the saints according to God's will.

But who indeed are you -- a mere human being -- to talk back to God? Does what is molded say to the molder, "Why have you made me like this?"

Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God on behalf of my fellow Israelites is for their salvation.

For ignoring the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking instead to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to God's righteousness.

Just as you were formerly disobedient to God, but have now received mercy due to their disobedience,

Or who has first given to God, that God needs to repay him?

Therefore I exhort you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice -- alive, holy, and pleasing to God -- which is your reasonable service.

Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God's wrath, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

The one who observes the day does it for the Lord. The one who eats, eats for the Lord because he gives thanks to God, and the one who abstains from eating abstains for the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.

For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will give praise to God."

Therefore, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

For the one who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people.

Receive one another, then, just as Christ also received you, to God's glory.

So I boast in Christ Jesus about the things that pertain to God.

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join fervently with me in prayer to God on my behalf.
