Roma 3:2

3:2 Actually, there are many advantages.³ First of all,⁴ the Jews⁵ were entrusted with the oracles of God.⁶

3:12 All have turned away,

together they have become worthless;

there is no one who shows kindness, not even one.”⁷

4:2 For if Abraham was declared righteous⁸ by the works of the law, he has something to boast about – but not before God.

4:6 So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

The Believer’s Freedom from Sin’s Domination

6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase? 6:2 Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

8:36 As it is written, “For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”⁹

9:19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who has ever resisted his will?”

13:5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath of the authorities¹⁰ but also because of your conscience.¹¹

15:29 and I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of Christ’s blessing.
