'Man' in the Bible

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith.”

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Or do you have no regard for the wealth of His kindness and tolerance and patience [in withholding His wrath]? Are you [actually] unaware or ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness leads you to repentance [that is, to change your inner self, your old way of thinking—seek His purpose for your life]?

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

For God shows no partiality [no arbitrary favoritism; with Him one person is not more important than another].

and know the supreme will, and can test things that differ--being a man who receives instruction from the Law--

Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

Therefore if an uncircumcised man keeps the law’s requirements, will his uncircumcision not be counted as circumcision?

A man who is physically uncircumcised, but who fulfills the law, will judge you who are a lawbreaker in spite of having the letter of the law and circumcision.

For the true Jew is not the man who is simply a Jew outwardly, and true circumcision is not that which is outward and bodily.

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)

according as it is written, There is not a righteous man, not even one;

there is not the man that understands, there is not one that seeks after God.

Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another,

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

But in the case of a man who works, pay is not reckoned a favour but a debt;

whereas in the case of a man who pleads no actions of his own, but simply believes in Him who declares the ungodly free from guilt, his faith is placed to his credit as righteousness.

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned. For the sentence that followed one man's offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses.

Since by the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the one, shall the many be constituted righteous.

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

For the person who has died [with Christ] has been freed from [the power of] sin.

Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

For what the Law could not do [that is, overcome sin and remove its penalty, its power] being weakened by the flesh [man’s nature without the Holy Spirit], God did: He sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful man as an offering for sin. And He condemned sin in the flesh [subdued it and overcame it in the person of His own Son],

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

I am telling you the truth as a Christian man--it is no falsehood, for my conscience enlightened, as it is, by the Holy Spirit adds its testimony to mine--

And not only this, but there was Rebekah also, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac;

So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.

So then, at his pleasure he has mercy on a man, and at his pleasure he makes the heart hard.

Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him [whoever adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] will not be disappointed [in his expectations].”

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it;

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

Therefore the man who rebels against his ruler is resisting God's will; and those who thus resist will bring punishment upon themselves.

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

For the precepts, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," "Thou shalt do no murder," "Thou shalt not steal," "Thou shalt not covet," and all other precepts, are summed up in this one command, "Thou shalt love thy fellow man as much as thou lovest thyself."

Love avoids doing any wrong to one's fellow man, and is therefore complete obedience to Law.

As for the one whose faith is weak, accept him [into your fellowship], but not for [the purpose of] quarreling over his opinions.

One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs.

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that man it is unclean.

If your brother is pained by the food you are eating, your conduct is no longer controlled by love. Take care lest, by the food you eat, you lead to ruin a man for whom Christ died.

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

Do you have a conviction? Keep it to yourself before God. The man who does not condemn himself by what he approves is blessed.

But the man who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not do so from faith, and whatever is not from faith is sin.

yea, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build upon another man's foundation;

Greet Rufus, a choice man in the Lord, also his mother and mine.
