'People' in the Bible

Both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to foolish people, I am a debtor.

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

For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse.

on the day when God judges what people have kept secret, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.

an instructor of ignorant people, and a teacher of infants because you have the full content of knowledge and truth in the Law

No, a person is a Jew inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, brought about by the Spirit, not by a written law. That person's praise will come from God, not from people.

And why not say, just as some people slanderously claim we say, “Let us do what is evil so that good may come”? Their condemnation is deserved!

God's righteousness through the faithfulness of Jesus the Messiah for all who believe. For there is no distinction among people,

For if they who are of the law are the people who get the heritage, then faith is made of no use, and the word of God has no power;

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 --

But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah, been showered on many people!

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 just as through one man's disobedience many people were made sinners, so also through one man's obedience many people will be made righteous.

Stop offering the parts of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness. Instead, offer yourselves to God as people who have been brought from death to life and the parts of your body as instruments of righteousness to God.

Don't you realize, brothers for I am speaking to people who know the Law that the Law can press its claims over a person only as long as he is alive?

and the Searcher of hearts knows what the Spirit's meaning is, because His intercessions for God's people are in harmony with God's will.

for I could wish that I myself were condemned and cut off from the Messiah for the sake of my brothers, my own people,

As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

Why not? Because they did not pursue it on the basis of faith, but as if it were based on achievements. They stumbled over the stone that causes people to stumble.

As it is written, "Look! I am placing a stone in Zion over which people will stumble a large rock that will make them fall and the one who believes in him will never be ashamed."

How, then, can people call on someone they have not believed? And how can they believe in someone they have not heard about? And how can they hear without someone preaching?

And how can people preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are those who bring the good news!"

But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

But what was the divine reply to him? "I have reserved for myself 7,000 people who have not knelt to worship Baal."

if I can somehow make my own people jealous and save some of them.

For God has locked all people in the prison of their own disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

In the same way, even though we are many people, we are one body in the Messiah and individual parts connected to each other.

contributing to the needs of God’s people, pursuing [the practice of] hospitality.

Live in harmony with each other. Do not be arrogant, but associate with humble people. Do not think that you are wiser than you really are.

Do not pay anyone back evil for evil, but focus your thoughts on what is right in the sight of all people.

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

For [civil] authorities are not a source of fear for [people of] good behavior, but for [those who do] evil. Do you want to be unafraid of authority? Do what is good and you will receive approval and commendation.

Let's behave decently, as people who live in the light of day. No wild parties, drunkenness, sexual immorality, promiscuity, quarreling, or jealousy!

As one who lives in union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am certain that in its own nature no food is 'impure'; but if people regard any food as impure, to them it is.

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

My meaning is that Christ has become a servant to the people of Israel in vindication of God's truthfulness-- in showing how sure are the promises made to our forefathers--

And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

But for now, I am going to Jerusalem to serve the saints (Jewish believers).

for Macedonia and Greece have kindly contributed a certain sum in relief of the poor among God's people, in Jerusalem.

[and pray] that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints (Jewish believers) there;

Welcome her in the Lord as is appropriate for saints, and provide her with anything she may need from you, for she has assisted many people, including me.

Greetings to Rufus, who is one of the Lord's chosen people; and to his mother, who has also been a mother to me.

to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister and Olympas, and to all God's people associated with them.

for such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites. They deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting with smooth talk and flattering words.
