'People' in the Bible

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness,

For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes -- his eternal power and divine nature -- have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse.

but someone is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart by the Spirit and not by the written code. This person's praise is not from people but from God.

So then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned --

Consequently, just as condemnation for all people came through one transgression, so too through the one righteous act came righteousness leading to life for all people.

For I could wish that I myself were accursed -- cut off from Christ -- for the sake of my people, my fellow countrymen,

As he also says in Hosea: "I will call those who were not my people, 'My people,' and I will call her who was unloved, 'My beloved.'"

"And in the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they will be called 'sons of the living God.'"

just as it is written, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stone that will cause people to stumble and a rock that will make them fall, yet the one who believes in him will not be put to shame."

But about Israel he says, "All day long I held out my hands to this disobedient and stubborn people!"

So I ask, God has not rejected his people, has he? Absolutely not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.

God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew! Do you not know what the scripture says about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

But what was the divine response to him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand people who have not bent the knee to Baal."

if somehow I could provoke my people to jealousy and save some of them.

For God has consigned all people to disobedience so that he may show mercy to them all.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil; consider what is good before all people.

If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all people.

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

And again it says: "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people."
