But his countrymen hated him, and they sent a delegation after him to say, 'We do not want this man made king over us.'

With it we bless the Lord our Father, and with it we curse men made in God's likeness.

For you put up with it if a man makes you his slaves, or lives on you, or takes you in, or puts on airs, or gives you a slap in the face.

The Jews answered, "We are not stoning you for doing anything good, but for your impious talk, and because you, a mere man, make yourself out to be God."

For men make oath by something greater than themselves, and they accept an oath as settling finally any disagreement they may have.

If I am guilty and have done anything that deserves death, I do not refuse to die; but if there is no truth in the charges that these men make against me, no one can give me up to them; I appeal to the emperor."

but who know that a man is not made upright by doing what the Law commands, but by faith in Christ Jesus??ven we believed in Christ Jesus, so as to be made upright by faith in Christ and not by doing what the Law commands??or by doing what the Law commands no one can be made upright.

but to equalize the burden, and in the present situation to have your plenty make up for what they need, so that some day their plenty may make up for what you need, and so things may be made equal??15 as the Scripture says, "The man who got much did not have too much, and the man who got little did not have too little."

But there is no comparison between God's gift and that offense. For if one man's offense made the mass of mankind die, God's mercy and his gift given through the favor of the one man Jesus Christ have far more powerfully affected mankind.

For if that one man's offense made death reign through that one man, all the more will those who receive God's overflowing mercy and his gift of uprightness live and reign through the one individual Jesus Christ.

For merely hearing the Law read does not make a man upright in the sight of God; men must obey the Law to be made upright.

For man was not made from woman, but woman from man,

For just as woman was made from man, man is born of woman, and both like everything else really come from God.

And he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath,

"Master," they said, "Moses made us a law that if a man's brother died, leaving a wife but no child, the man should marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.

"Master, Moses made us a law that if a man's brother die leaving a wife but no children, the man should marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.

You have put everything under his feet!" In thus making everything subject to man, God left nothing that was not subjected to him. But we do not as yet see everything made subject to him,

For just as that one man's disobedience made the mass of mankind sinners, so this one's obedience will make the mass of them upright.

For no human being can be made upright in the sight of God by observing the Law. All that the Law can do is to make man conscious of sin.

For Christ himself died once for all, for sin, an upright man for unrighteous men, to bring us to God, and was physically put to death, but he was made alive in the Spirit.

For some are incapable of marriage from their birth, and some have been made so by men, and some have made themselves so for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let him accept it who can."

Everyone must give what he has made up his mind to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion; God loves a man who is glad to give.

Faith made Abel's sacrifice greater in the sight of God than Cain's; through faith he gained God's approval as an upright man, for God himself approved his offering, and through faith even when he was dead he still spoke.

You see a man is made upright by his good deeds and not simply by having faith.

For we hold that a man is made upright by faith; the observance of the Law has nothing to do with it.

But a man who has definitely made up his mind, under no constraint of passion but with full self-control, and who has decided in his own mind to keep her as she is, will be doing what is right.

The man who had received the five thousand dollars immediately went into business with the money, and made five thousand more.

In the same way the man who had received the two thousand made two thousand more.

And the man who had received the five thousand dollars came up bringing him five thousand more, and said, 'Sir, you put five thousand dollars in my hands; here I have made five thousand more.'

And the man who had received the two thousand came up and said, 'Sir, you put two thousand dollars into my hands; here I have made two thousand more.'

But they made no answer. And he took hold of the man and cured him and sent him away.

and they made this charge against him: "Here is a man whom we have found misleading our nation, and forbidding the payment of taxes to the emperor, and claiming to be an anointed king himself."
