Though they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who do such things.

Do you think, O man, that when you judge those who do such things and yet do the same yourself, you will escape the judgment of God?

to those who by patience in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality, he will give eternal life;

but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and fury.

and if you are sure that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

"Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;

For if those who are of the law are to be the heirs, faith has no value and the promise is void,

Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all his descendantsnot only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

For if, by the one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.)

But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death.

Do you not know, brethrenfor I am speaking to those who know the lawthat the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.

For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

And those whom he predestined, he also called; those whom he called, he also justified; and those whom he justified, he also glorified.

For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, "The man who does those things shall live by them."

And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news!"

Again I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; by a foolish nation I will make you angry."

But Isaiah is very bold and says, "I was found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me."

Therefore consider the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.

Therefore he who resists the authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

For even Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me."

but as it is written: "They shall see who have not been told of him, and those who have not heard shall understand."

Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet those in the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those workers in the Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who has worked hard in the Lord.

I urge you, brethren, to take note of those who cause divisions and difficulties, contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; avoid them.
