The males in the same way also left natural relations with females and were inflamed in their lust for one another. Males committed shameless acts with males and received in their own persons the appropriate penalty of their error.

He will repay each one according to his works:

For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, and true circumcision is not something visible in the flesh.

On the contrary, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart—by the Spirit, not the letter. That man’s praise is not from men but from God.

as it is written:There is no one righteous, not even one.

There is no one who understands;there is no one who seeks God.

All have turned away;all alike have become useless.There is no one who does what is good,not even one.

God presented Him to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be righteous and declare righteous the one who has faith in Jesus.

Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By one of works? No, on the contrary, by a law of faith.

since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

Now to the one who works, pay is not considered as a gift, but as something owed.

But to the one who does not work, but believes on Him who declares the ungodly to be righteous, his faith is credited for righteousness.

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all men, because all sinned.

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam’s transgression. He is a prototype of the Coming One.

But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man’s trespass the many died, how much more have the grace of God and the gift overflowed to the many by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ.

And the gift is not like the one man’s sin, because from one sin came the judgment, resulting in condemnation, but from many trespasses came the gift, resulting in justification.

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.

So then, as through one trespass there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is life-giving justification for everyone.

For just as through one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.

Don’t you know that if you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of that one you obey—either of sin leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness?

So now I am no longer the one doing it, but it is sin living in me.

Now if I do what I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but it is the sin that lives in me.

Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect?God is the One who justifies.

Who is the one who condemns?Christ Jesus is the One who died,but even more, has been raised;He also is at the right hand of Godand intercedes for us.

not from works but from the One who calls—she was told: The older will serve the younger.

But who are you, a mere man, to talk back to God? Will what is formed say to the one who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”

Or has the potter no right over the clay, to make from the same lump one piece of pottery for honor and another for dishonor?

As it is written:Look! I am putting a stone in Zion to stumble overand a rock to trip over,yet the one who believes on Himwill not be put to shame.

For Moses writes about the righteousness that is from the law: The one who does these things will live by them.

One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.

Now the Scripture says, Everyone who believes on Him will not be put to shame,

Lord, they have killed Your prophetsand torn down Your altars.I am the only one left,and they are trying to take my life!

For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one.

Now as we have many parts in one body, and all the parts do not have the same function,

in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.

Show family affection to one another with brotherly love. Outdo one another in showing honor.

Be in agreement with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

So then, the one who resists the authority is opposing God’s command, and those who oppose it will bring judgment on themselves.

For government is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it does not carry the sword for no reason. For government is God’s servant, an avenger that brings wrath on the one who does wrong.

Do not owe anyone anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

One person believes he may eat anything, but one who is weak eats only vegetables.

One who eats must not look down on one who does not eat, and one who does not eat must not criticize one who does, because God has accepted him.

One person considers one day to be above another day. Someone else considers every day to be the same. Each one must be fully convinced in his own mind.

For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

Therefore, let us no longer criticize one another. Instead decide never to put a stumbling block or pitfall in your brother’s way.

(I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. Still, to someone who considers a thing to be unclean, to that one it is unclean.)

For if your brother is hurt by what you eat, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy that one Christ died for by what you eat.

So then, we must pursue what promotes peace and what builds up one another.

Each one of us must please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement allow you to live in harmony with one another, according to the command of Christ Jesus,

Therefore accept one another, just as the Messiah also accepted you, to the glory of God.

And again, Isaiah says:The root of Jesse will appear,the One who rises to rule the Gentiles;the Gentiles will hope in Him.

My brothers, I myself am convinced about you that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

Greet one another with a holy kiss.All the churches of Christ send you greetings.
