Acts 21:22What then should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come.Acts 21:23Therefore do what we advise you. There are four men with us who have taken a vow.Acts 21:24Take these men, purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that there is no truth to these rumors about you, but that you also live in obedience to the law.Acts 21:25As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they must abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality.”Acts 21:28crying out, “Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and against our law and against this place. Furthermore, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”Acts 21:29For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple.Acts 22:3“I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but raised in this city. I was educated at the feet of Gamaliel in strict conformity to the law of our fathers. I was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.Acts 22:4I persecuted this Way even to the death, detaining both men and women and throwing them into prison,Acts 22:22The crowd listened to Paul until he made this statement. Then they lifted up their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He is not fit to live!”Romans 3:1What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?Romans 3:2Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.Romans 3:3What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness?Romans 3:4Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”Romans 3:5But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms.Romans 3:6Certainly not! In that case, how could God judge the world?Romans 3:7However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?Romans 3:8Why not say, as some slanderously claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!Romans 3:9What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.Romans 3:10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.Romans 3:11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.Romans 3:12All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”Romans 3:13“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”Romans 3:14“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”Romans 3:15“Their feet are swift to shed blood;Romans 3:16ruin and misery lie in their wake,Romans 3:17and the way of peace they have not known.”Romans 3:18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”Romans 3:19Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.Romans 3:20Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.Romans 3:21But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.Romans 3:22And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,Romans 3:23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,Romans 4:1What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has discovered?Romans 4:2If Abraham was indeed justified by works, he had something to boast about, but not before God.Romans 4:3For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”Romans 4:4Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.Romans 4:5However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.Romans 4:6And David speaks likewise of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:Romans 4:7“Blessed are they whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered.Romans 4:8Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”Romans 4:9Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.Romans 4:10In what context was it credited? Was it after his circumcision, or before? It was not after, but before.Romans 4:11And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.Romans 4:12And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.Romans 4:13For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.Romans 4:14For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless and the promise is worthless,Romans 4:15because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.Romans 4:16Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.Romans 4:23Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for Abraham,Romans 4:24but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.Romans 4:25He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification.Romans 10:2For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.Romans 10:3Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.Galatians 1:13For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.Galatians 1:14I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.Galatians 2:3Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.Galatians 2:4This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.Galatians 2:5We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.Philippians 3:6as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to righteousness in the law, faultless.1 Thessalonians 2:15who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men,
