Rom 2:25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. Rom 2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? Rom 2:27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. (so if law was for Jews, all are Jews inwardly if keep law) Rom 3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. Rom 4:9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. Rom 4:10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Rom 6:2 God forbid.. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Rom 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. (which law? Paul uses the word “law” in three contexts, One particular relating to fore mentioned circumcision topic of chapters 2-3. The law of sin in verse 14 that he later mentions in 7:23, 7:25 and 8:2 and sometimes the actual whole set of laws. Readers have to pay particular attention not to think he is always referring to the whole law of God), but under grace? Sin being transgression of the law / commandments 1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning). Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. Rom 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Rom 7:13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. (Hence good things not nailed to cross or changed by Yahshua / Jesus) Rom 9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? Rom 9:25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. Rom 9:26 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. Rom 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. Rom 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness? (OF COURSE NOT One who does not follow after righteousness cannot attain it. Israel error was simply not accept Jesus as the promised Messiah) Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. (Not end of “The Law”; but specifically for righteousness (see Gal 2:17; 3:21). (see Mat 3:15 and 21:32 righteousness did not end). Phi 3:6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. Phi 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: The Law contains the way of self righteousness; but the coming of the Messiah, Yahoshua, brings a better way to righteousness. Not by ending the Law; but now by being shown how to keep it completely in faith, love and deed as did Abraham). Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek (Gentile): for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 11:1 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. Rom 11:2 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, Rom 11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. Rom 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Rom 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Rom 11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? Rom 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Rom 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Rom 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. (as I said Gentiles have to leave satns line and join the linage of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses Yahshua etc adhering to all commandments) Rom 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. Rom 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. (God had a purpose and method we may not understand. The wild olive tree persons can be graffed into the olive tree if they acquire what the olive tree has; both obedience to God’s commandments with their faith in the messiah as in Rev 14:12) . Rom 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Rom 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Rom 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, HOLY, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Obedience of all to His Laws). Rom 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good (7:12). (the law is good 1Tim 1:8) Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. (A summary of the list, hence Law still stands and we have to keep the law. It nor love was nailed to cross or changed by Yahshua). Rom 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. (Why would we have to give an account if our actions (commandment keeping works) was not applicable? Obviously it is. Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: …judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Rev 20:13 … and they were judged every man according to their works. Rev 12:17; 14:12 & Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that DO HIS COMMANDMENTS, that they may HAVE RIGHT TO the tree of life, and MAY ENTER in through the gates into the city). Rom 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: Rom 15:9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. Rom 15:10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. Rom 15:12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. (Verse 8 says Messiah came for the lost tribe of Israel to confirm the promise of God in Deu_18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him). Rom 15:16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be, Rom 15:18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles OBEDIENT BY WORD AND DEED DEED DEED, Rom 15:27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. (need of money for the poor of Israel). I HOPE READERS OF THE ABOVE WILL NEVER AGAIN USE ANY VERSE OF ROMANS TO CLAIM GOD’S LAWS DO NOT HAVE TO BE KEPT OR THAT PAUL TAUGHT SUCH A DISOBEDIENCE. SOME OTHER RELEVANT VERSES OF PAUL. How does grace, faith or Christ affect the law? Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law (See Jam 2:14,24) Gal 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin (transgression of the law)? God forbid. Gal 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: Youtube - Jim Staley - Understanding Romans - Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP3bmbBzXpI&t=19s
