I know, O Jehovah, that your judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
I know, O Jehovah, that your judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid! I had not known sin except through the law. For I had not known coveting except the law had said: You should not covet. But sin, finding occasion, worked out in me through the commandment all manner of coveting. Apart from the law sin is dead. I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. read more.
The commandment, which was to life, this I found to be to death. For sin, finding occasion, through the commandment deceived me, and through it killed me. The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good. Did that which is good become death to me? God forbid! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good. This way sin might be shown to be sin. Through the commandment sin could be recognized. For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am fleshly and sold under sin. I do not understand what I am doing. For what I want to do I do not do. What I hate, I do. But if what I do not want to do, I do, I consent to the law that it is right.

What then is the law? It was added (to cause awareness of sin) because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. A mediator is not a mediator of one; but God is one. Is the Law then against the promises of God? God forbid! If a law had been given which could impart life, righteousness would have been from the Law. read more.
But the Scriptures shut up (imprisoned) (pictured) all things (mankind) under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came the Law held us in custody. We were locked up until faith was revealed. The Law was our schoolmaster (Greek: paedagogue: a combination of schoolmaster, instructor, servant and guardian in charge of us) to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you who were baptized into Christ put on (clothed yourselves with) Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one (united) in Christ Jesus. (John 17:21) (Ephesians 4:4-6) If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.

But we know that the Law is good, if a man uses it legitimately. Knowing this, that Law is not made for a righteous person.

It is for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and everything else that is contrary to the sound teaching.

Sexual activities » Those that have homosexual relations
When a man has sexual intercourse with another man as with a woman, both men are doing something disgusting and must be put to death. They deserve to die!
Verse Concepts
Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them are an example for they, in like manner with these surrendered to fornication and went after flesh for unnatural use. They received justice by ever burning fire. In like manner these men also in their dreams defile the flesh, reject authority and speak evil of glorious ones. Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil disputed about the body of Moses. He did not speak evil judgment against him in abusive terms, but said: Jehovah rebukes you. (Zechariah 3:2) read more.
These men speak abusively about things they do not know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they corrupt themselves. Woe to them! They went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the rebellious talk of Korah. These men are hidden rocks in your love feasts when they feast (entertain) with you. They are shepherds that without fear feed themselves. They are clouds without water, carried along by winds. They are autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots. They are wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame. They are wandering stars, for which the black darkness has been reserved forever. Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these, saying: Behold, Jehovah came with many thousands of his holy ones. They execute judgment upon all. They convict all the ungodly of all their wicked behavior, deeds that they have committed in an irreverent way, and of all the hard things those detestable sinners have spoken against him. These murmur, complain, and walk after their lusts, they speak arrogantly, flattering people to gain advantage.

UnGodliness » The unGodly
Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God, and of our Savior Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord! His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. This is through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue (excellence). read more.
He offered us his precious and exceedingly great promises. Through these you may become partakers of the divine nature. You will escape from the corruption that is in the lust-filled world. Yes, for this very reason you do your part with all diligence. Supply virtue to your faith. Add knowledge to your virtue. Include self-control with your knowledge. Supply patience to your self-control. Your patience should be helped by godliness. Add brotherly kindness to your godliness. And to your brotherly kindness add love. For if these things are yours and abound in you they will keep you from being inactive or unfruitful regarding the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these qualities is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of the scornful mockers. But his delight is in the law of Jehovah (YHWH), and on his law he meditates (ponders) (speaks softly with deep thought) (studies) (contemplates) day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water. It yields its fruit in season and its leaves do not wither. Whatever he does prospers. read more.
This is not so for the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand (be upright) in the judgment. The sinners will not stand (endure) in the assembly of the righteous. Jehovah knows (is fully aware of) the way of the righteous. But the way of the wicked will perish.

You will be able to resist any immoral woman who tries to seduce you with her smooth talk. She is unfaithful to her own husband and forgets her sacred vows to God. If you go to her house, you are traveling the road to death. To go there is to approach the dead. read more.

Say to wisdom: You are my sister! Call understanding your friend. That they may keep you from the adulteress, from the stranger with seductive words. I looked out the window of my house. read more.
I saw among the simple ones, I discerned among the youth, a young man without understanding. He passed through the street near her corner. He went to her house. In the twilight, in the evening, in the darkness of the night: He met an evil hearted woman dressed seductively like an immoral woman. She is loud and rebellious and never stays at home. Now in the streets and squares, she waits at every corner. She put her arms around him and kissed him, and with an impudent look she said: I have peace offerings with me since I paid my vows. So I came to meet you and seek your presence. I found you. I covered my bed with fine linen from Egypt. I perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come; let us take our fill of love until morning. Let us comfort ourselves with love. My husband is not at home. He went on a long trip. He took a bag of money with him. He will come home at the appointed day. She seduced him with her persuasive words. She forced him with her flattering lips. He immediately goes after her. He is like a bull that goes to the slaughter. Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, Till a dart strikes through his liver. The bird hurries to the snare without knowing it would cost his life.
