'Shall' in the Bible

For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it, "The righteous man shall live by faith."

In the same way if an uncircumcised man pays attention to the just requirements of the Law, shall not his lack of circumcision be overlooked, and,

although he is a Gentile by birth, if he scrupulously obeys the Law, shall he not sit in judgement upon you who, possessing, as you do, a written Law and circumcision, are yet a Law-breaker?

For what if some Jews have proved unfaithful? Shall their faithlessness render God's faithfulness worthless?

But if our unrighteousness sets God's righteousness in a clearer light, what shall we say? (Is God unrighteous--I speak in our everyday language-- when He inflicts punishment?

No indeed; for in that case how shall He judge all mankind?)

What then shall we say that Abraham, our earthly forefather, has gained?

Under utterly hopeless circumstances he hopefully believed, so that he might become the forefather of many nations, in agreement with the words "Equally numerous shall your posterity be."

If therefore we have now been pronounced free from guilt through His blood, much more shall we be delivered from God's anger through Him.

For if while we were hostile to God we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, it is still more certain that now that we are reconciled, we shall obtain salvation through Christ's life.

For if, through the transgression of the one individual, Death made use of the one individual to seize the sovereignty, all the more shall those who receive God's overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in Life through the one individual, Jesus Christ.

To what conclusion, then, shall we come? Are we to persist in sinning in order that the grace extended to us may be the greater?

No, indeed; how shall we who have died to sin, live in it any longer?

For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.

But, seeing that we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him;

For Sin shall not be lord over you, since you are subjects not of Law, but of grace.

What then shall we say to this? If God is on our side, who is there to appear against us?

Who shall impeach those whom God has chosen? God declares them free from guilt.

Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall affliction or distress, persecution or hunger, nakedness or danger or the sword?

nor because they are Abraham's true children. But the promise was "Through Isaac shall your posterity be reckoned."

For the words are the language of promise and run thus, "About this time next year I will come, and Sarah shall have a son."

No, indeed; the solution is found in His words to Moses, "Wherever I show mercy it shall be nothing but mercy, and wherever I show compassion it shall be simply compassion."

Nay, but who are you, a mere man, that you should cavil against GOD? Shall the thing moulded say to him who moulded it, "Why have you made me thus?"

And in the place where it was said to them, 'No people of Mine are you,' there shall they be called sons of the everliving God."

And Isaiah cries aloud concerning Israel, "Though the number of the sons of Israel be like the sands of the sea, only a remnant of them shall be saved;

in agreement with the statement of Scripture, "See, I am placing on Mount Zion a stone for people to stumble at, and a rock for them to trip over, and yet he whose faith rests upon it shall never have reason to feel ashamed."

Moses says that he whose actions conform to the righteousness required by the Law shall live by that righteousness.

But the righteousness which is based on faith speaks in a different tone. "Say not in your heart," it declares, "'Who shall ascend to Heaven?'" --that is, to bring Christ down;

"nor 'Who shall go down into the abyss?'" --that is, to bring Christ up again from the grave.

that if with your mouth you confess Jesus as Lord and in your heart believe that God brought Him back to life, you shall be saved.

The Scripture says, "No one who believes in Him shall have reason to feel ashamed."

For "every one, without exception, who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

and this shall be My Covenant with them; when I have taken away their sins."

But you, why do you find fault with your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged;

for it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to Me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall make confession to God.'"

And again Isaiah says, "There shall be the Root of Jesse and One who rises up to rule the Gentiles. On Him shall the Gentiles build their hopes."

But, as Scripture says, "Those shall see, to whom no report about Him has hitherto come, and those who until now have not heard shall understand."

So after discharging this duty, and making sure that these kind gifts reach those for whom they are intended, I shall start for Spain, passing through Rome on my way there;
