Romans 15:7-13 (WEL) Therefore, accept one another as Christ also accepted us for God’s glory. 8 I say [to you] that Christ Jesus was a minister to the circumcision for God’s truth, in order to confirm the promises to the fathers. 9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for [his] mercy, as it…

Romans 14:19-23 (WEL) Therefore, let us follow things that result in peace and things that can build up each other. 20 Don’t tear down the work of God on account of food. It’s true that everything is clean, but even so [it is] wrong for that person who eats, who feels he is doing…

Romans 14:13-18 (WEL) Therefore, we can’t condemn one another anymore; instead, condemn this: not to put a stumbling block or offending thing in [his] brother’s way. 14 I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus that nothing [is] unclean in itself, but to him, who considers something unclean, then to him, [it is]…

Constable’s Summary of Chapter 8: “As the fifth chapter climaxed Paul’s revelation concerning the justification of the sinner, so the eighth culminates the truth concerning the sanctification of the saint. Both chapters end by affirming the eternal security of the believer. In chapter 5 our security depends on the Son’s life and in chapter…

1 John 3:16-23 (NKJV) By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of…

1 John 2:7-11 (NKJV) Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. 8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because…
