Romans 5:8–6:3 (The Living Bible) 8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us
while we were still sinners. 9 And since by his blood he did all
this for us as sinners, how much more will he do for us now that he has
declared us not guilty? Now he will save us from all of God’s wrath to come. 10
And since, when we were his enemies, we were brought back to God by the death
of his Son, what blessings he must have for us now that we are his friends and
he is living within us! 11 Now
we rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God—all because of what our
Lord Jesus Christ has done in dying for our sins—making us friends of God. 12
When Adam sinned, sin entered the entire human race. His sin spread death
throughout all the world, so everything began to grow old and die, for all
sinned. 13 We know that it was Adam’s sin that caused this because
although, of course, people were sinning from the time of Adam until Moses, God
did not in those days judge them guilty of death for breaking his laws—because
he had not yet given his laws to them nor told them what he wanted them to do. 14
So when their bodies died it was not for their own sins since they themselves
had never disobeyed God’s special law against eating the forbidden fruit, as
Adam had. What a contrast between Adam and Christ who was yet to come! 15
And what a difference between man’s sin and God’s forgiveness! For this one
man, Adam, brought death to many through his sin. But this one man,
Jesus Christ, brought forgiveness to many through God’s mercy. 16
Adam’s one sin brought the penalty of death to many, while Christ freely
takes away many sins and gives glorious life instead. 17 The
sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to be king over all, but all who
will take God’s gift of forgiveness and acquittal are kings of life
because of this one man, Jesus Christ. 18 Yes, Adam’s sin
brought punishment to all, but Christ’s righteousness makes men right
with God, so that they can live. 19 Adam caused many to be sinners because he disobeyed God, and
Christ caused many to be made acceptable to God because he obeyed. 20
The Ten Commandments were given so that all could see the extent of their
failure to obey God’s laws. But the more we see our sinfulness, the more we see
God’s abounding grace forgiving us. 21 Before, sin ruled over all
men and brought them to death, but now God’s kindness rules instead, giving us
right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord. 1 Well then, shall we keep on sinning so that God can keep on
showing us more and more kindness and forgiveness? 2 Of course not!
Should we keep on sinning when we don’t have to? For sin’s power over us was
broken when we became Christians and were baptized to become a part of Jesus
Christ; through his death the power of
your sinful nature was shattered.
Romans 6:19–23 (The Living Bible) 19 I speak this way, using the illustration of slaves and masters,
because it is easy to understand: just as you used to be slaves to all kinds of
sin, so now you must let yourselves be
slaves to all that is right and holy. 20 In those days when you
were slaves of sin you didn’t bother much with goodness. 21 And what
was the result? Evidently not good, since you are ashamed now even to think
about those things you used to do, for all of them end in eternal doom. 22
But now you are free from the power of
sin and are slaves of God, and his benefits to you include holiness and
everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Please Note: Always Read the Word of
God in Context asking the Holy Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
