'Things' in the Bible

For from the creation of the world, his invisible [attributes], both his eternal power and deity, are discerned clearly, being understood in the things created, so that they are without excuse.

And just as they did not see fit {to recognize God}, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do the things [that are] not proper,

who, [although they] know the requirements of God, that those who do such things are worthy of death, not only do they do the same [things], but also they approve of those who do [them].

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, every one [of you] who passes judgment. For in that which you pass judgment on someone else, you condemn yourself, for you who are passing judgment are doing the same [things].

Now we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who do such things.

But do you think this, O man who passes judgment on those who do such things, and who does the same [things], that you will escape the judgment of God?

For whenever the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things of the law, these, [although they] do not have the law, are a law to themselves,

on the day when God judges the secret things of people, according to my gospel, through Christ Jesus.

and know his will and approve the things that are superior, [because you] are instructed by the law,

(just as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations") before God, in whom he believed, the one who makes the dead alive and who calls the things that are not as [though] they are,

Therefore what sort of fruit did you have then, about which you are now ashamed? For the end of those [things] [is] death.

For those who are [living] according to the flesh are intent on the things of the flesh, but those [who are living] according to the Spirit [are intent on] the things of the Spirit.

And we know that all [things] work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to [his] purpose,

What then shall we say about these [things]? If God [is] for us, who [can be] against us?

Indeed, [he] who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, together with him, freely give us all [things]?

[No], but in all these [things] we prevail completely through the one who loved us.

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

And how will they preach, unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How timely [are] the feet of those who bring good news of good things."

For from him and through him and to him [are] all [things]. To him [be] glory for eternity! Amen.

One believes [he may] eat all [things], but the one who is weak eats [only] vegetables.

Do not destroy the work of God on account of food. All [things] [are] clean, but [it is] wrong for the person {who eats and stumbles in the process}.

Therefore I have a reason for boasting in Christ Jesus regarding the things concerning God.

For they were pleased [to do so], and they are obligated to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual [things], they ought also to serve them in material [things].
