But, you say, if a falsehood of mine has brought great honor to God by bringing out his truthfulness, why am I tried for being a sinner?

Just as he says in Hosea, "I will call a people that was not mine, my people, And her who was not beloved, my beloved,

And in the very place where they were told, 'You are no people of mine,' They shall be called sons of the living God."

No! This is what it says: "God's message is close to you, on your lips and in your mind"??hat is, the message about faith that we preach.

For if with your lips you acknowledge the message that Jesus is Lord, and with your mind you believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

for God does not change his mind about those to whom he gives his blessings or sends his call.

You must not adopt the customs of this world but by your new attitude of mind be transformed so that you can find out what God's will is??hat is good, pleasing, and perfect.

One man thinks one day better than another, while another thinks them all alike. Everybody must be fully convinced in his own mind.
