Footnotes:

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 1:21

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their reasonings, and their senseless hearts were darkened.

Footnotes:

Romans 1:22

Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

Footnotes:

slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

Footnotes:

without understanding, untrustworthy, unfeeling, and unmerciful;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 1:32

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

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:1

Therefore you have no excuse, you foolish person, everyone of you who passes judgment; for in that matter in which you judge someone else, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:2

And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:3

But do you suppose this, you foolish person who passes judgment on those who practice such things, and yet does them as well, that you will escape the judgment of God?

Footnotes:

Romans 2:7

to those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:9

There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of mankind who does evil, for the Jew first and also for the Greek,

Footnotes:

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:11

For there is no partiality with God.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:12

For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:13

for it is not the hearers of the Law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the Law who will be justified.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:14

For when Gentiles who do not have the Law instinctively perform the requirements of the Law, these, though not having the Law, are a law to themselves,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:15

in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:16

on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of mankind through Christ Jesus.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:17

But if you call yourself a Jew and rely upon the Law and boast in God,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:18

and know His will and distinguish the things that matter, being instructed from the Law,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:19

and are confident that you yourself are a guide to people who are blind, a light to those in darkness,

Romans 2:20

a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, possessing in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth—

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:21

you, therefore, who teach someone else, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that one is not to steal, do you steal?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:22

You who say that one is not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who loathe idols, do you rob temples?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:23

You who boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor God?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:24

For "THE NAME OF GOD IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE GENTILES BECAUSE OF YOU," just as it is written.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:25

For indeed circumcision is of value if you practice the Law; but if you are a violator of the Law, your circumcision has turned into uncircumcision.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:26

So if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will his uncircumcision not be regarded as circumcision?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:27

And he who is physically uncircumcised, if he keeps the Law, will he not judge you who though having the letter of the Law and circumcision are a violator of the Law?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:28

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 2:29

But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from people, but from God.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:1

Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the benefit of circumcision?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:2

Great in every respect. First, that they were entrusted with the actual words of God.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:3

What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:4

Far from it! Rather, God must prove to be true, though every person be found a liar, as it is written: "SO THAT YOU ARE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED."

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:5

But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? (I am speaking from a human viewpoint.)

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:6

Far from it! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:7

But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:8

And why not say (just as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), "Let's do evil that good may come of it"? Their condemnation is deserved.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:9

What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:10

as it is written: "THERE IS NO RIGHTEOUS PERSON, NOT EVEN ONE;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:11

THERE IS NO ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NO ONE WHO SEEKS OUT GOD;

Romans 3:12

THEY HAVE ALL TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME CORRUPT; THERE IS NO ONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE."

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:13

"THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE, WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING," "THE VENOM OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS";

Footnotes:

"THEIR MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS";

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:15

"THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:16

DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS,

Romans 3:17

AND THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN THE WAY OF PEACE."

Romans 3:18

"THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES."

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:19

Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:20

because by the works of the Law none of mankind will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes knowledge of sin.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:21

But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:22

but it is the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:23

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:24

being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:25

whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in God's merciful restraint He let the sins previously committed go unpunished;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:26

for the demonstration, that is, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:27

Where then is boasting? It has been excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:28

For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:29

Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:30

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

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 3:31

Do we then nullify the Law through faith? Far from it! On the contrary, we establish the Law.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:1

What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:2

For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about; but not before God.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:3

For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:4

Now to the one who works, the wages are not credited as a favor, but as what is due.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:5

But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:6

just as David also speaks of the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

Romans 4:7

"BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:8

-"BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT."

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:9

Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, "FAITH WAS CREDITED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:10

How then was it credited? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:11

and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:12

and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:13

For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:14

For if those who are of the Law are heirs, then faith is made void and the promise is nullified;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:15

for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no violation.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:16

For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:17

(as it is written: "I HAVE MADE YOU A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS") in the presence of Him whom he believed, that is, God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that do not exist.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:18

In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, "SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE."

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:19

Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:20

yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:21

and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:22

Therefore IT WAS ALSO CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:23

Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:24

but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, to us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 4:25

He who was delivered over because of our wrongdoings, and was raised because of our justification.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:1

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:2

through whom we also have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we celebrate in hope of the glory of God.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:3

And not only this, but we also celebrate in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:4

and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:5

and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:6

For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:7

For one will hardly die for a righteous person; though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:8

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:9

Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:10

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:11

And not only this, but we also celebrate in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:12

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned—

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:13

for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not counted against anyone when there is no law.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:14

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the violation committed by Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:15

But the gracious gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:16

The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one offense, resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many offenses, resulting in justification.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:17

For if by the offense of the one, death reigned through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:18

So then, as through one offense the result was condemnation to all mankind, so also through one act of righteousness the result was justification of life to all mankind.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:19

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

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:20

The Law came in so that the offense would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 5:21

so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:1

What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:2

Far from it! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:3

Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:4

Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:5

For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:6

knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:7

for the one who has died is freed from sin.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:8

Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:9

knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:10

For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all time; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:11

So you too, consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:12

Therefore sin is not to reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:13

and do not go on presenting the parts of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your body's parts as instruments of righteousness for God.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:14

For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under the Law but under grace.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:15

What then? Are we to sin because we are not under the Law but under grace? Far from it!

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:16

Do you not know that the one to whom you present yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of that same one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:17

But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were entrusted,

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:18

and after being freed from sin, you became slaves to righteousness.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:19

I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your body's parts as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:20

For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in relation to righteousness.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:21

Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:22

But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:1

Or do you not know, brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the Law), that the Law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives?

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:2

For the married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he is alive; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:3

So then, if while her husband is alive she gives herself to another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress if she gives herself to another man.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:4

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also were put to death in regard to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:5

For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were brought to light by the Law, were at work in the parts of our body to bear fruit for death.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:6

But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:7

What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Far from it! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET."

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:8

But sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:9

I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin came to life, and I died;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:10

and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me;

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:11

for sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it, killed me.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:12

So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:13

Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? Far from it! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by bringing about my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:14

For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold into bondage to sin.

Footnotes:

Cross References:

Romans 7:15
