Roman chapter 1

Introduction:

Apostle Paul is the writer of the letter from Corinth around AD 56-58 and it was transcribed by Tertius (16:22) and probably delivered by (sister) Phoebe. Paul is a gospel witness that was eager to reach out to all heathen-nations including Rome. He eventually ended his ministry in home arrest there in Rome (Act 28:16,31). The Submissions of Paul about Sound teaching of the gospel are well reiterated again as follows: Men has turned away from INVISIBLE Father God, the need for Justification by grace through Faith as the ONLY currency for everybody worldwide. He emphasizes the intervention of Jesus, salvation by Faith and confession by mouth that Jesus is the Christ, and a necessity of being led by the SPIRIT of God. He is hopeful that Isreal is not totally rejected in spite of their insistence on Judaism while God is waiting for the last person in the gentile-nation to be absorbed into the kingdom of God. 

Rom 1

Paul's apostleship is from Christ

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle (sent one), set apart unto good message of God,

2 which has been promised beforehand, through HIS prophets, in Holy scriptures,

3 concerning HIS Son, Who happened to be an Offspring of David according to the flesh, 

4 and the Son of God, Jesus Christ our Lord, Who according to the sacredness (hagiosynes) of the SPIRIT, by miraculous Power destine/define the "resurrection out of the dead";

5 through Whom I receive the commission/apostleship among all, by Grace for the obedience of the Heathen-race to Faith unto His Name,

6 in which even you are called/invited to Jesus Christ.

7 To all the Beloved of God, called to be holy ones in Rome: Peace with our FATHER God, and Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Paul desired to visit Rome 

8 First of all, I am indeed grateful to God, concerning all of you, because Faith unto Jesus Christ is being proclaimed in the whole world through you..

9 for, I am a Witness, in the Good News of the Son of God, WHOM as I serve/worship in the SPIRIT, I uninterruptedly make mention of them and you 

always upon my oratory prayer, 

10 beseeching, how to come, if by the will of God at some other time or even now, to have a successful journey towards you. 

11 for, I intensely crave to see you, at least for someone to impart spiritual gifts (charisma) to you, unto setting you resolutely fast in one direction;

12 Moreover, this is to encourage the Faith of one another together within you, and even through me among you.

13 So, Brethren, I don't want you to be ignorant, in that, I have proposed many times to come to you, and was hindered till the present, at least to have some fruits among you, just as even among the rest of heathen-nations.

14 as I am indebted to the Greeks, so even to the Barbarians (non Greek); as to the wise, so also to the unintelligent.

15 with respect to me, there is readiness, to preach the good news to you in Rome likewise. 

Good news/Gospel is the truth/message of the miracles of God for salvation of souls

16 for, I am not ashamed of the gospel/good message of the mighty-deeds of God, unto salvation to all who will have Faith; it was FIRST to the JEWS, and also to the Greeks (Hellenes).

17 for, the Justification of God is revealed in the same Gospel from (individual level of) faith unto (general) Faith; just as it was written also: the Righteous shall live from Faith. (Hab 2:4)

18 for, the wrath of God will be revealed from heaven, upon men in impiety and wrongdoings, even for the injustice/wrongdoings, to those who hold down fast to things in the truth.

How Jesus had fared among men and their rejection of the INVISIBLE God-Fatherism in exchange for idolatry, self-worship and homosexuality

19 and on this very account, He has made things of God manifest and shinning/visible among them, because God is well known to Him.

20 and in addition, having clearly seen His miraculous power, which was not of His own (a+idios), they are without excuse/without a valid defence, unto His divine-FATHERHOOD/state of being divine. No doubt, the SAME (God) is perceived in the mind (noieo) to be INVISIBLE, from the poem/ballad of original creation of the world (Gen 1), 

21 and on that account, they did not know God, to glorify or express gratitude to HIM as God; but their unintelligent-hearts are darkened and they are rendered futile/vain in their reasonings;

22 they assert to be wise and become senseless/are made foolish,

23 by exchanging (by substitution), the glory of the IMMORTAL God, to the similitude in the statues/images of mortal men and birds, and four footed animals, and reptiles.

24 through which, they betray God, and by the lusts in their hearts, unto defilement/uncleanness, they dishonor their bodies among them;

25 some of who in falsehood, exchange (by alteration), the Truth of God, WHO is to be reverenced and worshipped, alongside the Original creature, originally created to be the Blessed One unto ages, Amen!

26 Also, on account of His PASSION/emotional-suffering/tough experience, these ones had betrayed God unto their shame/disgrace. For, their females exchange (by alteration), the use of their physical body unto things besides their lineal-descent; (bestiality).

27 and even the males likewise, left the use of physical-body of the females, and deeply-kindle the lusts in themselves unto one another - male among males, (homosexuality), working-out indecency, and MUST fully-received the repercussions of their delusion within themselves.

28 And just as they do not try/prove, to hold on to the full-knowledge of God, they betray God unto doing things, not proper/appropriate with unapproved/rejected mind;

29 fully-filled with all injustice/wrong-doings, wickedness, covetousness, bad/evil things; full of ill-will, murder, contention, decoy, maliciousness/mischiefs; gossips,

30 being slanderers, God-haters, abusers/insulters, arrogant ones, boasters; inventors of evil things, unpersuadable by parents;

31 unintelligent, not trustworthy, heartless to kindred, (truceless/not bound to a treaty), merciless;

32 some of who fully-know the ordinances/righteous requirements of God, that those who habitually-practise such things, are worthy of death, and are not only doing them, but are well-pleased with those practising them.

Roman chapter 2

Rom 2 

Perfect judgment is of God

1 On this account, you are without excuse, oh you, man, who is judging everybody; for in what you condemn others, you will be judged yourself. Because, you who is judging, you are doing the same thing.

2 However, be aware that the judgment of God is according to the Truth, upon those practising such things.

3 Also, reckon (logize) with this, oh you man, who judge those that practise such things, and you are doing the same thing; will you escape the judgment of God?

4 or, are you ignorant that the kindness of God is to lead you unto repentance: why despising the wealth of HIS kindness and tolerance and long-forbearance?

5 but, in your stubbornness, and unrepentant heart, you amass wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous-judgment of God,

6 WHO will repay every man, according to his work: (Ps 62:12)

7 - to those who indeed with respect to good deeds in cheerful endurance, seek for a glory and honor and immortality of eternal Life.

8 but, wrath and fierceness - to those who persuade to disbelieve the Truth, out of intrigue/contention and wrongdoings; 

9 evil men who fully carry out tribulation and distress, upon all souls, - to the Jews first, and even the Hellenes (Greeks); 

10 Moreover, glory and honour and Peace to all who are engaging in good things, first of all, to the Jewish men, and even to the Hellenes (Greeks):

11 because, there is no favouritism with God.

12 Those who commit sin, as long as they are not subjected to Jewish law, they will be destroyed without Jewish law, and as many who sin through Jewish law, will be judged by the law,

13 because, it is not the hearer of the law, who is righteous, but the doers of the law that shall be justified with God.

14 for, those of Jewish law, who have the laws for themselves, are not obeying the law, whenever Heathen-race, who are not of that lineal-descent, hold on to things of the Jewish law.

15 Some of who show (that) their moral-consciousness corroborate (that) the deed of the law is written in their heart, by making complaints on logical reasoning/rational thoughts between one another, rather than making defence/excuse.

16 (which is) according to our gospel, through Christ Jesus, on Whose day, God will judge the secret/concealed things of men.

Every judgments, based on keeping the Jewish-law is baseless without 100% obedience 

17 Moreover, if you, who is of Jew denomination (so named), who rely on God, and could boast of (Moses) law;

18 who have been indoctrinated with things out of the law; who have known and tried/proved HIS will, to be different/more excellent,

19 and have been persuaded yourself also, to be a guide (leader) to the blind, and a light to those in darkness,

20 an instructor of unmindful nepious/minors, a teacher who has mental-knowledge of the truth by education/information in the law;

21 then, why teaching another things and not what you were taught yourself? Why proclaiming not to steal, and you are stealing?

22 why saying, do not to commit adultery, and you commit adultery? You detest/abhor idols, but you do rob the temple (commit sacrilege)?

23 why are those who dishonor God, through violation of the law, will be boasting of (Moses) law? 

24 just as, it was written: for, the Name of God is blasphemed through you among the heathen-races (Is 52:5, Eze 36:22).

Every judgment based on Circumcision is irrelevant without 100% obedience

25 circumcision is useful indeed, provided you practise things in the law; but in case you are breaker of the law, those of you, of circumcision has become, those, of uncircumcision.

26 therefore, in case those of uncircumcision, keep the ordinances/righteous-deeds of the law, why would their uncircumcision state, not be reckoned as unto those of circumcision?

27 how would you, out from lineal-descent of circumcision and violators of the law, be judging those of uncircumcision, who through the letters/writings have completed/finished up the law.

Who is a true Jew and what is true circumcision? 

28 for, to be a Jew is neither in the visible thing, nor circumcision is in the visible thing in the flesh;

29 but, circumcision is in the heart and not in the writings/letters, and to be a Jew is in the hidden things, of whose commendation is not from men, but from the SPIRIT of God.

Roman chapter 3

ROM 3

Paul dissected God's verdicts and judgment, to be fair to everybody.

1 Therefore, what is the usefulness of circumcision? Or how excessive are the Jews?

2 because, many (people) according to the first style/mode of life, indeed, believed all utterances (oracles) of God.

3 however, if no, why will certain persons disbelieve God? Will their unbelief make Faith void?

4 And it will never happen! Moreover, things of God are True, but men become falsifiers of all things, as it is written, (you will be) judged by your words (logos), and you will overcome/prevail anyhow, by being possibly justified. (Ps 51:4)

Justification by God has come to stay

5 Moreover, What will I say with respect to bringing/inflicting wrath upon men? if for our wrongdoings, God has introduced Justification, won't you say, God would be unfair/unjust? 

6 since, it will never happen! How will God judge the world?

7 however, if by my fabrications/white lies, the Truth of God superabound unto HIS glory; why, even I, am still being judged as a sinner?

8 and I will speak, just as to make my thought known and not just as to vilify/defame someone: shall judgment be coming at least on those who do evil things and good things in line with fairness/justice?

All had sinned

9 how will the Jews have pre-eminence? Why not all-together? Because everybody, and even the Greeks (non Jewish) are accused already to be under sin.

10 As it is written, there is none who is righteous, not even one;

11 there is none that understand; there is none seeking after God.

12 all have deviated, until all-together become unprofitable at the same time; there is none who practice kindness, there is not one. (Ps 14:1-3)

13 their throats open wide as grave; their tongues (language) are deceitful; (Ps 5:9) poison of asp is under their lips; (Ps140:3)

14 Ara (G685) a heartfelt concern lifted to heaven)), whose mouths are even full of bitterness, (Ps 10:7)

15 their feet are keen/sharp to spill blood;

16 ruins and misery, are in their ways;

17 and they do not know the way of Peace (Is 59:7-8), 

18 there is no reverence of God before their eyes. (Ps 36:1)

19 Moreover, we are aware that, as much as they preached the law, all the mouths will be silenced. Because, it is said in the law, the whole world at least, shall become subjected to justice of God. 

20 because, full-knowledge of all sins are through the law; and by that reason, in HIS presence, no flesh could be justified from the all the deeds of the law.

Justification without Moses law, is only by Faith unto Jesus Christ

21 However, for emphasy, Justification of God without law, (which was) testified to, by Prophets under the law, has been made manifest now.

22 Also, Justification of God is through Faith unto Jesus Christ, because there is no distinction/difference for everybody who could have Faith.

23 because everybody who had sinned and fallen short/deficient of the glory of God,

24 are freely/by gratis, justified by HIS grace, through the full redemption by Christ Jesus,

25 by Whom God set forth, a propitiation (mercy-seat), through Faith in His blood, unto a proof/indication of HIS Justification, on account of a neglect/passing over of the offense/sin that has already taken place. - 

- In the tolerance of God; 

26 to be justified and to be Righteous, in the present time, is from Faith unto Jesus, (Who is) a proof towards HIS Justification.

No place for bragging: salvation is purely by Faith 

27 therefore, law is excluded/shut out, so, where is the boasting? Through what kind of work? Is it by Law? Not indeed, but through Faith - 

28 - no doubt, men have been reckoned justified by Faith, without the works of law.

29 is God for the Jews only or not indeed even for the heathen-races? Yes/sure, (HE is) also for the Heathen race.

30 If perhaps, God is ONE, who justify the circumcised from Faith, it shall also be for those of uncircumcision through Faith.

31 Therefore, have we made (Moses) law void through Faith? It never happen! On the contrary, we stand for the law.

Roman chapter 4

ROM 4 

Abraham was justified by Faith 

1 Therefore, on what was spoken, how our father according to flesh found it?

2 for, if Abraham was justified out from (his) works, he would have a boast towards God, but no.

3 for, what says the Holy writings? Abraham believed God, and Justification was reckoned unto him. (Gen 15:6)

4 so, for the one who works, the reward could not be reckoned according to grace, but will be according to debt/something owed.

David got the picture of justification as the only bail-out for mankind

5 Moreover, an irreverent (ungodly) man who has not worked, will be justified upon having Faith, and justification will be reckoned (imputed) unto him by Faith. 

6 even exactly as David said; Supreme-blessedness is to the man, whom God reckons (credits) justification, without work.

7 Supremely-blessed is to whom his iniquities are forgiven/let go, and to whom his sins are covered;

8 Supremely-blessed is the man, to whom, (Jehovah) God will never reckon offence. (Ps 32:1-2)

Abraham was justified before circumcision

9 Therefore, is this blessedness (beautification) upon those of circumcision or upon those of un-circumcision? For, it is said, justification was credited unto Abraham by Faith.

10 Then, how was it credited? Was he in circumcision, or in un-circumcision? He was not in circumcision, but in un-circumcision, 

11 and received a seal/stamp of circumcision on the wonder of Justification by Faith in un-circumcision; to be a father unto all who on account of the same un-circumcision, will have Faith, and Justification will be reckoned unto them;

12 so, the father of those of circumcision, is not only to those from circumcision, but even to those in un-circumcision, who walk orderly (march in rank) on the track of Faith of our father Abraham.

The promise is delivered by Faith 

13 for, the promise to Abraham or his offsprings, to be heirs of the world, is not through law but through justification by Faith.

14 for, if those out from the law are the heirs, the promise is in vain, and Faith is made useless. 

15 moreover, where there is no law, no doubt, not even a violation of law will fully work-out wrath:

16 by this reason according to Grace, for the promise to be sure unto all the offsprings, it is from Faith, not only to those from the law, but to those out from Faith of Abraham, who is at least, the father to all of us.

FAITH of Abraham thoroughly dissected

17 Just as it is written, I have placed you, a father of many nations (Gen 17:5). And who as though, directly in front of God, had faith that, the dead could be revitalized/given life, and be called forth to exist and not to exist; (Heb 11:19).

18 who, besides pleasurable hope, had faith to become unto them, father of many nations, according to things spoken, "likewise, shall your offsprings be", upon pleasurable hope (Gen 15:5). 

19 and the Faith of a sub-ruler somewhere, was not feeble, fully perceived his own deaden body, being about hundred years already, and the dying womb of Sarah,

20 Moreover, he did not dissect through the promise of God unto unbelief, but his Faith was empowered, by giving glory to God.

21 and was well informed/assured that HE WHO has promised, is able to do it.

22 even by those reasons, Justification was reckoned unto him (Gen 15:6).

23 that the same (justification) was reckoned to him, was not written, on account of him alone;

24 but even on account of us, to whom it will be reckoned later, upon having Faith unto our Lord Jesus, Who has been raised up from the dead, 

25 and Who was surrendered because of our trespasses, and raised up because of our discharge and acquittal/Justification.

Roman chapter 5

ROM 5

Faith makes you rejoice in trouble 

1 Therefore, by being justified out from Faith, we have Peace (eirene) towards God, through our Lord, Jesus Christ,

2 and through Whom we have access by Faith, into His Grace, in which we stand by, to boast of the glory of God, upon pleasurable-hope.

3 on the contrary, we also boast in afflictions, being aware that the afflictions, fully works out cheerful endurance; and not only - 

4 - in cheerful endurance, also the attempts/experiences; and in an attempts/experiences, is pleasurable hope;

5 however, we are not ashamed in the pleasurable-hope, on account of Selfless Love. For God has given us the Holy SPIRIT, poured out on our hearts.

Christ has given us a place 

6 because, for the sake of the strength-less, and those who are still irreverent/ungodly, according to the set-time, Christ still died for us.

7 for hardly will anyone die for a righteous person; no doubt, for the sake of good person, even someone might perhaps venture to die.

8 So, God introduces/recommends HIS own selfless-Love unto us, for we, who were still sinful, Christ even died for our sake.

9 therefore, much more now, having been justified in Him through His blood, we shall be saved from wrath.

10 if, enemies to God are reconciled through the death of HIS Son, they are much more reconciled, to be saved, by HIS Zoe-Life.

11 not only are we boasting in God, but also through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom we have received reconciliation now.

Offence and death were passed from Adam to all men

12 by this reason, just as through One man, offence entered into the world, and through offence, death; and death was likewise passed across unto men, upon which everybody has sinned.

13 offence has been in the world; but because there was no (Moses) law, offence was not put to account (reckoned) until (Moses) law . 

14 but, there will later be a Similitude, Who is a Type/Model of Adam to reign upon the one of death, (which has been) from Adam until Moses, and upon those who did not sin in the violation (1Cor 15:45).

Divine endowment is a gift by the Grace of God

15 Because, If many had died by the trespass of one person; likewise by the Grace of God, on the contrary, as though there were no trespass, will much more super-abound the gift of divine endowment (charisma) by grace unto many, even in One human-being, Jesus Christ.

16 And as though, there is a gift out of the one through whom were ordinances/righteous requirements; However, the judgment for trespasses is unto condemnation of many and for the one, who has not sinned, it should indeed be unto a gift of divine endowment (charisma). 

Justification is a gift by abundant grace

17 for, if the one of death could reign through trespasses, even those who have received the gift of justification through the One of surplusage/abundant Grace, will reign much more in Jesus Christ, the One of zoe-Life, Jesus Christ.

18 therefore, as it were, through the trespass of one, there was condemnation unto everybody, Ara (heartfelt sigh lifted unto heaven) likewise unto men, even through righteous-deeds of One, (there will be) zoe-Life unto men (and) 'discharge and acquittal'/justification unto everybody.

19 for just as through disobedience (in-attention) of one man, many (were) permanently designated sinful, likewise even through the obedience (attentive hearkening) of One, many shall be permanently designated righteous.

20 Moreover, as (Moses) law privily entered, they do more of trespasses, but where more offences is done, grace at least has super-abound.

21 just as the one of death, at least reigned by instrumentality of sin, likewise even the one of everlasting Life will reign through Grace unto justification, through Jesus Christ, our Lord (our Emperor and Augustus).

Roman chapter 6

ROM 6

Reckon yourself dead to sin and live for Christ (vs 11)

1 What then are we saying? Shall we commit more sin, at least, we abide in grace?

2 Never will it happen! How will you still live in a sin, some of which, He has died for?

3 Or are you ignorant that, as much as you are baptized into Christ Jesus, you are baptized unto His death?

4 Therefore, just as being buried together with Christ unto death, and being raised from the dead, through Zoe-life of the FATHER, likewise through baptism, we should walk around in the Glory of the mordernity/innovation of the new-age.

5 because, If we had become His similitude at death, on the contrary, we would even be naturally connected/grow along with Him at resurrection;

6 absolutely know this: the things of our old man have been crucified together with Him, sin is rendered useless, at least, our bodies are no longer enslaved to sin.

7 we are justified from sin, because of the One who died.

8 but if we had died together with Christ, we believe that even we would continue to live together with Him,

9 we are aware that Christ, who has been raised out of the dead, will no longer die, and death will no longer exercise lordship over Him.

10 because, what He died for, is to die for sin once and for all, moreover, what He lives for, is to live for God.

11 and you likewise, RECKONED yourselves in Christ Jesus, to be dead indeed to sin, but Living for God.

12 then, sin should never rule in your mortal body, unto obeying its lusts.

13 never present parts of your body, a tool for wrongdoings of sin, but present yourselves to God, as though, parts of your body is out from the dead, and live on (as) instrument for justification of God

14 for, the one sin could not exercise lordship over you, for, you are not under law, but under grace.

Only the Ignorant will abuse Grace: You are a slave of whom you serve 

15 What then? Are we to sin for we are not under law, but under grace? Never will it happen!

16 are you not aware that you are a slave to whom you obey - and you could present yourselves unto obedience (as) slave, either indeed for the one of sin unto death, or the One of obedience unto justification?

17 Moreover, those who had been slaves to the one of sin, have listened attentively and surrendered from their heart unto the teachings of the Type/Model Who is for the grace of God.

18 so, Justification is for those liberated from being enslaved to sin.

19 Humanly speaking, on account of weakness of your flesh to iniquities, just as you had presented the parts of your body as a slave of lawlessness unto impurities; likewise now, present the parts of your body, as a servant of righteousness/Justification unto purity.

20 for those of sin are slaves, while those of Justification are free-men (at liberty).

21 Therefore, what are the fruits you have at a time, upon which you are now ashamed? No doubt, the end-result of those things is death.

22 however, for emphasy, to be liberated from being enslaved by sin, you will hold on to the fruits unto purity; and the end result will be eternal Life of God.

23 for the wage of sin is death; and the divine-endowment (charisma) of God, is eternal Life, in our Lord, Jesus Christ. 

Roman chapter 7

ROM 7 

We are Freed from Moses law, Paul explained

1 Brethren, are you ignorant or you know, as preached by the law, that, men have dominion upon things of the law, as long as at the space of time, they are alive?

2 for, a law could bind a wife to a living husband; however, in case the husband dies, her subjection under a husband from the law is made void.

3 with her husband alive, Ara (heartfelt sigh lifted to heaven), she is divinely called an adulteress in case she happens to be with another different fellow-man; but in case the husband had died, she is a free woman from the law; she has not become an adulteress, to be with another husband.

4 # thus, my brethren, your body should be killed in Christ, and by the law, you will become another's (own), and on account of "resurrection out of the dead", you will at least bear fruits unto God. #

5 because, by the law, there will be suffering of flesh on account of sin, when parts of our body is energetic/active in bearing fruits unto things of death;

6 however, for emphasy, for us who could die by instrumentality of the SPIRIT; what has enslaved us from the law, has been made void, in so much that, we will hold down fast to new-age innovation/modernity and not the writings in the olden age.

Law is for both the Righteous and sinners

7 therefore, what are we saying? Is the law for known sins? It never happened? But I would not be talking of sin, if not through law; in addition, I would not be aware of lust, if not by the law: do not be covetous (Ex 20:17, Deut 5:21)

8 because, without law, sin is dead. Moreover, having received the commandments, the opportunity for sin to be worked out by us is through the longing/lusts in everybody. 

9 however they had lived without (Moses) law in time past; but commandments came to us, however, those who should have been revived/be alive again, died off by sin. 

10 and we find out this commandments, (which should be) unto Zoe-life, has been unto death.

11 because, having received the commandments, there was opportunity for sin through being fully seduced, and on account of it, we are being slain/killed.

12 thus, Law is holy even the commandments are holy but indeed good for the Righteous. 

Law is dogmatic and lacks the power to stop sin (note: Paul was addressing a general fabric of society, not personal issue) 

13 therefore, how has good thing become things of death to us? It will never happens! But, sin, at least has been lightened/shown, and death has been worked out by sin through what is good to us. And with respect to sin, at least it has generated far more abundant sinners through the commandments.

14 for, we are aware that the sins relating to flesh are under the law. However, we, who should be spiritual had been merchandized/sold out (as unto slavery)

15 for we do not absolutely know, what had worked out; because what we want, that is (what) we should not practice, but what we hate, that is (what) we should habitually practice.

16 however, if what is virtuous, that is (what) we are doing; we could jointly say/consent, that we do not want the law.

17 on the contrary, we no longer work out the same thing. Moreover, for emphasy, now, the one of sin is cohabiting among us.

18 for, we are not aware that, this thing, cohabiting among us, is fully working out things in us, because our flesh which is present/ying near want good things and not virtuous things.

19 for, the good things which we want, are not being done; but worthless things, which we do not want, these are what are being practiced.

20 Moreover, if what we do not want, these are the things, they are doing, we are no longer the same, but, the one of sin (which is) cohabiting among us, is working it out. 

21 Ara (heartfelt cry of being fed up, lifted up to heaven), we had found a law that (as) we want to do virtuous things, worthless things are present near us/easy for us.

22 because, according to law, God delights in inward part of man. 

Another part of the law is the penal-codes of the law that focus on the mind and parts of our body 

23 Moreover, I take heed/see another thing in the law, by the one of sin to fight against/attack our minds (emotion, intellect and will), and parts of our body, for parts of our body to be made captive to the law

24 Oh what a trial-enduring man I am! Who will rescue my body out of this thing of death?

25 Therefore, howbeit, by the law, we are to SERVE God indeed with our minds, but by things of the law, the flesh is of the same thing to the one of sin. Ara (a heartfelt hope lifted up to heaven) what a Grace of God through our Lord Jesus Christ!

Roman chapter 8

Roman 8 

Discharge and acquitted in Christ Jesus by the SPIRIT of GOD

1 Ara (a heartfelt shout of joy lifted to heaven), Now, not even one thing of condemnation is in Christ Jesus + Who did not walk according to the flesh, but according the SPIRIT+

2 for, by the SPIRIT, the zoe-Life in Christ Jesus, has liberated/exempted you from the sins in the law and the death by the law;

3 because by the sins in the law, powerless flesh is weak/feeble, for which God sent HIS own Son, in the similitude of FLESH, even concerning sins of those condemned of sin through the flesh, 

4 at least, for the righteous-requirements of the law, to be fulfilled among us, by not walking according to the flesh, but according to the the SPIRIT.

5 no doubt, those who are according to the flesh, exercise their mind on things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, on things of the Spirit.

6 for, the attitude/mental inclination of the flesh is unto death; but, mindset/mental purpose of the Spirit, is unto zoe-LIFE and PEACE.

7 By this reason, the mindset/mental inclination of the flesh is enmity unto God; for it is not submissive to the LAW of GOD; because it is not even able.

8 So, those who are in the flesh, are not able to please God.

Zoe life is by indwelling SPIRIT 

9 However, if perhaps, the SPIRIT of God co-habit in you, you are not in the flesh, but in the SPIRIT. Howbeit, if anyone does not have the SPIRIT, he is not of this Christ.

10 Moreover, if indeed, the body would be dead on account of sin, the SPIRIT in you also is for the zoe-Life of Christ on account of Justification. 

11 Moreso, if the SPIRIT, WHO raised up Jesus out of the dead, co-habit in you; to have raised up Jesus Christ (out of the dead), even your mortal body shall be given life/revitalized, on account of the same SPIRIT dwelling in you.

Sonship is by indwelling SPIRIT 

12 therefore, Brethren, ara (heartfelt cry lifted to heaven), you are not debtors to the flesh, to be living-on, according to the flesh, 

13 for, if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die off, but if you live by the the practices (functions) of the SPIRIT, the body has been be killed.

14 for, as much as you are sons (huios) of God, the SPIRIT of God will be leading you on these things:

15 because, you have not received the Spirit unto fear of slavery again, but you have received the SPIRIT (unto) adoption/placing as sons, by WHOM we scream, ABBA! (life-Giver), FATHER!

16 and the same SPIRIT has been corroborating/jointly testifying with us, that we are children by the SPIRIT of God.

17 And, if children, (you are) God's heirs indeed. Moreover, (you are) coheirs/joint-heirs with Christ; if perhaps we suffer together, at least we will be magnified together also, even as heirs.

We are hoping altogether for final redemption/riddance of our body

18 no doubt, it is not to reckon (count) that, the suffering of the present time is worthy, towards the glory, which is about to be revealed unto us.

19 for, the original-creatures are fully expecting the revelation of the Son of God with earnest-expectation;

20 no doubt, no original-creature would willingly submit on account of vanity/futility, but we submit, upon pleasurable-hope - 

21 - that, the same original creatures shall be liberated from the slavery and decay/mortality, unto freedom and glory of the children of God.

22 no doubt, we are aware that all the original-creatures jointly groan and jointly travail (for their birth) up till now. 

23 and not only them, but also we, the First-Fruits, who have the SPIRIT. We are groaning in ourselves for the same adoption/placing as sons, fully expecting the full-redemption/riddance of our BODIES-

24 - because, they shall be saved on pleasurable-HOPE. However, a pleasurable hope on things which we see, is not hope; for, why hoping for what we can see?

25 however, if we are hoping for what we do not see, we will be expecting it through cheerful endurance.

26 Also, even the SPIRIT likewise, jointly help our frailty/feebleness; for we are not aware, of what we should make prayer on, according as we ought to, but the same SPIRIT, make our speechless/inexpressible sigh/groaning hyper-effective (huper-entugchano) 

27 because the SPIRIT of God also, searches the heart, to know what is to be made happen/ready (entugchano) , according to the mindset/mental-inclination of the saints.

28 So, God is aware of all who are working together unto good things for those being invited/called, that selflessly-love according to the purpose/proposal of God, 

29 For, those whom HE fore-knows, are pre-destinated to conform/be fashioned like unto the image of HIS Son, the First begotten among many brethren.

30 Moreover, those who are pre-destinated, even these are called forth; and whom HE called forth, even these are justified; and whom HE justified, even these are magnified/glorified.

God will do anything for you

31 Then, what shall be spoken towards those (called) ones? If God is for us, who will be against us?

32 for, HE WHO did not spare/be reluctant with HIS OWN Son, but surrendered Him for the sake of all of us, so, how will HE not indeed grant us, who are together with Him, all things by favor?

33 for God to have justified the elected one, Who will bring accusation against/call God in question? 

34 Who will condemn God? For Christ Jesus to have died, and rose up again (from the dead), and is in the Right HAND, effecting more things for our sake.

Therefore We got our minds made up

35 what will separate us from the selfless-Love of Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecutions, or poverty, or lack of clothes, or dangers, or dirk/sword (judicial judgment)?

36 just as it is written that: for Your sake, a whole day is reckoned for a slaughter, as though to kill sheep. (Ps 44:22)

37 But in all these things, we will overly win/we will be hyper-victorious/gain decisive victory, through the One Who selflessly-love us.

38 for, neither things, we are persuaded of, by the messenger (Angels), neither of  of Zoe-Life, nor of death; neither things of ancient times rules, nor by miraculous power; neither things of present, nor things coming,  

39 - not even things in the heights, nor things in the depths, nor certain strange original-creatures, can separate us from the selfless-love of God, in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Roman chapter 9

ROM 9

Rejection of Christ by some Israelis

1 I will speak the Truth in Christ and not lie, and my co-perception corroborated me in the Holy Spirit.

2 for, it is great sadness to me, and continuous grief in my heart,

3 because, I wish/pray against a ban/excommunication (anathema) away from Christ, for the sake of my brethren and my kinsmen/relatives in the flesh.

4 some of who are Israelites, of whom is the covenants, and giving of law, and worship/services (latreia) and promises and adoption/placing as sons, and the glory, 

5 of whom are the Patriarchs; and out of whom is the Christ according to the flesh, and upon all is the BLESSED/ADORABLE God, unto ages! Amen.

There are seeds/offsprings of Abraham by promise and children of Abraham in the flesh 

6 however, the word of God is not of the kind that could fall away/be deducted from, because, not all these ones out of Israel, are of Israel.

7 not even all children that are of Abraham are the offsprings: but, in Isaac shall your offsprings be called forth. (Gen 21:12) 

8 These children by the flesh are not reckoned unto the seeds/offsprings but, those children by promise are the children of God.

9 for this is the word of promise; I will come according to the set time, and there will be this son by Sarah (Gen 18:10) 

10 and not to her alone, but also for Rebecca, who had one out of co-habitation with our father, Isaac:

11 no gainsay, for she would give birth to certain persons who have not even practised good or bad things, but, at least, according to the proposal, election of God stays;

not of the deeds, but of the one who is called forth.

12 and the big thing spoken of them was that, the younger will be served. (Gen 25:23)

13 as it was written, Jacob was loved, but Esau hated him (Mal 1:2, Gen 27:41)

God's favor is fair

14 what then shall we say? Is there injustice alongside God? it never happen! Never.

15 for HE said to Moses, I will have mercy on whom possibly show mercy, and I will have pity on who possibly show pity. (Ex 33:19),

16 therefore, ara (a heartfelt sigh lifted to heaven), it is not of who desire, not even of who is running, but to whom God, shows mercy.

17 for the scripture says of Pharaoh, it is unto this same thing, you are raised up, to show MY power/miracles anyhow in you, and anyhow, to herald MY NAME, in the earth. (Ex 9:16), 

18 #therefore, Ara (heartfelt case lifted to heaven), but, who will want to show mercy on who want to be stubborn/hardened. #

19 therefore, it was spoken, why AM I still being blamed? No doubt, then, how will he opposed HIS counsel?

20 yea indeed then, oh man, who are you to answer God back? Never will something moulded (plasma) say to the one moulding it; why have you made me this way? 

21 Or does potter has no authority over clay, to make out of the same mass of lump, some equipment which indeed will be unto honor, and also some which will be unto dishonor?

22 So, if God determines, to make known HIS power by wrath among many, HE will show it forth with long-patience and an equipment, thoroughly prepared unto destruction will bear the wrath.

23 And, at least, upon making known, the wealth of HIS Glory, (there is) equipment of mercy which is prepared in advance unto glory,

24 and WHO has called us forth, but why not out from the Jews alone, but also, out from the heathen-races?

25 as it was said even in Hosea; I will call forth those who are not MY people; My people; and those who are not loved, shall be loved. (Hos 2:23) 

26 So, it is in places where it was spoken to them, you were not MY people; there, the sons of the Living God, shall be called forth. (Hos 1:10) 

God's purpose in spite of some Isrealis' rejection of Christ 

27 Moreover, Isaiah screamed for the sake of Israel, in case, the number of the sons of Isreal is as the heaped sand of the sea, those left behind (survivals), shall be saved. (Is 10:22) 

28 for the Lord will jointly shorten/abridge things to be done, and will jointly completely execute the words/matters upon the earth.

29 And just as Isaiah previously said, if the Supreme Lord of (heavenly) army (tsabaoth) has not left our offsprings behind, we would have become possibly like Sodom (scorched/burnt) and possibly become similar like gomorrah (ruined) (Is 1:9)

Present status of Isreal 

30 What then shall we say? That the heathen-Nations who never pursue justification, have eagerly received justification, even justification from Faith;

31 but Israel, who had pursued (it) by law, could not attain unto justification by law

32 by what reason? Because, it should be from Faith, but they stumble at a stumbling stone (apostasy) from (their) effort/work. 

33 just as it is written, behold, I positioned Him upon a mass of Rock (Petra) in Zion, also as a stumbling-stone (occasion to fall) of scandal (apostasy); but those who have Faith, will not be shamed down. (Is 8:14, 28:16)

Roman chapter 10

ROM 10

Paul earnestly desire salvation for Isreal according to full-knowledge 

1 Brethren, the good pleasure/delight of God toward them, and indeed the petition of my heart for their sake is unto salvation.

2 for, I have testified to them, and they have the zeal for God, but not according to full-knowledge/discernment (epignosin).

3 because, they are ignorant of the justification of God, and they stand to seek their own righteousness, and never submit to the justification of God.

4 the ultimate end of (Moses) law is justification, and it is for everybody who will have Faith unto Christ.

5 because Moses wrote of the righteousness/justification (which is) out from the law; that man who obeys it will live by it (Lev 18:5) 

6 but, Justification is from Faith. It was said in this way; never should you say in your hearts, who will go up unto heaven? This is, to lead/bring down Christ (Messiah). (Deut 30:12) 

7 Or, who will step down unto the abyss (bottomless pit)? ( Deut 30:13) this is, to bring up Christ out of the dead.

8 But what did he say? The rhema (utterance) is near you, in your mouth, even in your heart; (Deut 30:14). This is, the utterances (Rhema) of Faith which we proclaim,

9 because, in case, you have Faith in your heart and profess the word/rhema in your mouth, that Jesus is the Lord, and that God has raised Him out of the dead, you are saved.

10 because, you have faith in the heart unto justification and you profess by mouth unto salvation.

11 for, the holy writing says, all who have faith/believe upon Him shall not be shamed-down. (Is 28:16)

12 no doubt, there is no difference, the Jews and even the Greeks are made wealthy, because the same Lord is for all, and all who invoke/call unto Him.

13 for all, who possibly invoke/call upon the NAME of the Supreme God, shall be saved. (Joel 2:32).

Somebody must preach 

14 How then will they call unto whom they have not believed? How also will they believe what they have not heard? And how will they hear, without a preacher?

15 Moreover, how do we preach, in case we are not sent? Just as it was written, how good (and timely) are the feet of those proclaiming good news, (+those preaching gospel of peace+) at the right hour/season! (Is 52:7, Nahum 1:15) 

16 But not all will listen attentively to the gospel. For Isaiah said to the Supreme God; who shall believe the THINGS to be HEARD from us/our report? (Is 53:1). 

17 Ara (a heartfelt CALL lifted unto heaven), FAITH is through hearing/Things Heard, even Things-Heard out from the utterances (rhema) of Christ. 

18 but we should ask, why would they not listen? Yea indeed, then, even their utterances (rhemata) proceeded unto all the earth, and their musical voices even unto the uttermost end of the inhabited-world. (Ps 19:4) 

19 but, it was said and didn't Israel know? Moses had first said first: is it not you who provoke me unto jealousy upon heathen nations; you, being senseless/without understanding, provoked (me) to rivalry/anger upon Heathen-race (Deut 32:21), 

20 Isaiah also plainly dare to say, I will be found among those who are not seeking for ME, I will become manifest, to those who are not asking for Me. (Is 65:1)

21 Moreover, it is said, I stretch out MY HANDS towards Israel, towards people who dispute for a whole day and are unbelieving. (Is 65:2)

Roman chapter 11

ROM 11

Merciful God still has HIS OWN people among Isrealis

1 Therefore, should you ask me, hasn't God push off His people? never will it happen! Because, even I, am an Isrealite, out of the offsprings of Abraham, and of the tribe of Benjamin.

2 God does not reject His people, whom HE foreknow (ordain before). Or are you not aware of what EliJah said in the holy writings? As he effected things for God, against Israel: - 

3 - Supreme God: they have killed YOUR prophets, they have torn-down YOUR altar; even me who is left behind alone, they seek my soul. (1King 19:10-14).

4 But what was the Divine response to him? HE said; I have left SEVEN thousands men for MYSELF, who never bend their knees to Baal (Phoenician deity). (1 king 19:18)

5 therefore, likewise in the present time, even there will happen to be remnants according to election by Grace.

6 so, if is by work (of law), it will no longer be from Grace; since the one of grace will no longer generate the grace + but, if it is from grace, it will no longer be by work; since the thing of work is no longer by work.+

7 what is it then? This thing which Isreal sought after and has not chanced upon by being hardened, the remaining ones however by election has chanced upon it;

8 Just as it is written by the SPIRIT of God: they give their eyes to stupor/lethargy by daytime, not to see, and their ears, not to hear, until this day. (Is 29:10) 

9 Even David said; there happens to be, things unto a snare (to tempt), on their table, and unto a trap (to hunt), even unto a scandal (apostasy), and even unto their recompense/payback. 

10 their eyes shall be darkened, not to see, and their backs be afflicted/bend together all through. (Ps 69:22). 

Mercy of God is available to save all

11 then should I ask; will they stumble (trip) and at least do not fall down? It will Never happen! But, their trespass is unto the salvation of the Heathen-races and to provoke them to jealousy/zealousness.

12 but if, their trespass is for the wealth of the world, and their failure is for the wealth of Gentiles, how much more will be their repletion (filling up of their position)?

13 Moreso, I am indeed an Apostle to the heathen-races, and as much as I glorify my ministry upon heathen-nation; then I should tell you:

14 how much, I will also provoke those of my FLESH to zealousness, if some persons out of them will get saved.

15 for, if their rejection is for the reconciliation of the world, what of their admission, if not, for Zoe-life out from the dead?

16 So, if, the first fruit is holy, so is the mass of dough; and if the root is holy, so is the branches, 

17 Moreso, if some branches of olive tree are broken off, but you, being of wild olive tree, have been engrafted and become fellow-partakers of the root and plumpness in it,

18 never boast against those branches. However, If you boast against them, you are not the root, but the roots sustain you. 

19 then, to you who say, the branches have been broken off, at least for us to be grafted in, 

20 it is well; that those of unbelief brake off, however, you are standing by faith. Do not exercise mind so highly but be in awe.

21 for, if God, did not spare branches according to natural growth, how much at all, you will not even be spared.

22 therefore, behold, the kindness and severity/decisiveness of God: indeed, the severity upon those who have fallen/failed, and the kindness of God upon you, but in case you abide, it will be kindness; otherwise, even you would be cut down.

23 And even they, in case, they do not continue in unbelief, they will be grafted in; because God is able again to graft them in.

24 for, if you are cut from wild olive tree according to nature, and grafted into good olive tree against natural production, how much more are these ones, who according to natural production will be grafted to their own olive tree?

God is waiting for the last gentile to come into the kingdom by HIS mercy

25 Brethren, I don't want you to be ignorant of these mysteries, at least, not to be wiser in yourselves: because, the hardness/porosity of Israel has happened, which is until the repletion (filling up of position) of Heathen-races, who will enter in from the SECTIONS/local assemblies;

Beloved people of a Beloved country 

26 And, all Israel, likewise shall be saved, as it is written, from Zion, the One to rescue (saviours) will arrive (Obad 1:21), and Jacob will turn away from impiety/wickedness (Is 27:9)

27 and this shall be MY covenant with them, whenever their sins shall be removed. (Is 59:20). 

28 with respect to you, (they are) indeed enemies, on account of gospel, moreover, according to Patriachs (their fathers), (they are) the Beloved, through election/being chosen.

29 for the invitation and the Gift (divine endowment) of God are irrevocable.

30 No doubt, just as you, in the past, did not believe, but now, God shows mercy on those of unbelief;

31 Likewise, even these ones who are unbelieving now, by mercy of your own, at least even now, show mercy on them.

32 for God has concluded everybody into (state of) unbelief, at least, to show mercy on all.

33 Oh, the depth of wealth, and knowledge and wisdom of God! As it were, how unsearchable is HIS judgment, and HIS ways untraceable!

34 for, who know the mind/intellect of the Supreme God or who happens to be HIS consultant? (Is 40:34, Jer 23;18) 

35 or who has first given to HIM even for HIM to repay?

36 For all things are from HIM and through HIM , and unto HIM. To HIM be the Glory unto ages! Amen.

Roman chapter 12

ROM 12

It is logical to live with your body holy, just as the Judaists who present sacrifice in their  priestly service to God 

1 Therefore, I exhort you, Brethren, on account of the compassion of God, it is rational (logical) to live holy with your body, as those who present ministration/service (latreia) of acceptable animal-sacrifice to God;

2 your mind/intellect is not shaped/fashioned similar to the things of this age, but, of the Renaissance/renovated/renewed age, which has metamorphosed/transfigured you, to prove/attempt the good and acceptable desire/will of God unto full maturity.

Serving God selflessly with your divine gifts/charisma: 

3 for, I speak because of the Grace given to everybody, as God has distributed a measure of Faith to each person among you. Never should you highly over esteem yourself, besides what you must exercise your mind; but exercise your mind unto being sound minded (moderate).

4 for, exactly as, we have MANY parts in one body, and all the parts do not have the same function;

5 likewise, parts of body being many is in ONE in Christ; however, we are one body with respect to one another.

6 so, we have different divine endowments (charisma) according to the grace given to us: whether prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;

7 whether in ministry, ministering service; whether in teaching, teach;

8 whether in exhortation, exhort; those who give, in generosity (selflessness); those who preside over (you), in promptness/diligence; those who show mercy, in cheerfulness (hilarity).

Other valuable Quality gift described

9 by Selfless-Love, you will utterly detest evil and be sincere/non-hypocritical to stick to good things. 

10 as lover of Brethren (philadephia), you will be affectionate to kindreds, unto honor for one another, leading the way ahead for one another.

11 by Promptness, (you will not be indolent/slothful, (but) fervent (glowing) in the SPIRIT, serving the Lord.

12 by rejoicing in Pleasurable-Hope, (you will) endure afflictions, and persevere in oratory-prayer.

13 by Sharing/partnering with others, (you will) pursue hospitality for the needs of the saints.

14 you, who have blessed those who persecute you, will be blessed and never be cursed.

15 with you, who have rejoiced amid weeping; those who are weeping will be cheered (Act 16:25)

16 in exercising mind, exercise mind on same thing to one another, and not on so high a thing, but go along humbled/lowly, and never become wiser aside yourselves.

17 never repay anyone, evil for evil, be men who first consider virtuous things in the presence of all.

18 if powerful, make peace out from you  amid all men.

19 Beloved, never avenge but give wrath its own space/place: for, it is written, vengeance is MINE, I will recompense, says the Supreme God. (Deut 32:35). 

20 In case your enemy is hungry, on the contrary, feed him; in case he should thirst, give him drink; because by doing this, coals of fire is being piled up upon his head. (Prov 25:21) 

21 Never be subdued under evil, but subdue evil by good things.

Roman chapter 13

Rom 13

Be submissive to local authorities/governments

1 All souls should submit to the superior authority. For there is no authority existing except under God; so, they are instituted under God.

2 Therefore those who are rebellious to authority are opposing the arrangement of God; and those opposing will receive judgment on themselves.

3 for the Rulers are not terror to those of good works but of evil. So, do you desire, not to be frightened by the Authorities? Do good things, and you will have praise from them.

4 because, they are ministers/deacons of God to you, unto good things. However, in case, you do evil, you will be afraid, because, they are not bearing the short sword (of judicial punishment) in vain: for, they are servants of God, the avenger unto wrath on those practising evil.

5 by this reason, it is a necessity to be subjected, not only because of the wrath, but even because of the moral co-perception. 

6 no doubt, by this reason, we pay up the tributes (taxes); for they are public-servant of God, and they attend assiduously unto these things.

7 pay all their dues: tax to whom is the tolls on goods; terminal levy, to whom is the levy,  reverence to whom is reverence; honor to whom is honor. 

We are debtors of selfless Love to all people 

8 Owe no one nothing, except to selflessly-Love one another; for, those who selflessly-love another person, have fully satisfied/fulfilled law.

9 because: do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not covet (Ex 20:23-15) - even if there is other certain things in the commandment, it is summed up in these words: Selflessly-Love (Agapao) your neighbor as your yourself. (Lev 29:18).

10 selfless-Love will never engage in evil things to neighbours; therefore, selfless-love is the completion (fullness) of law.

Wake up, because of the brevity of time

11 And be aware of that set-time, that the hour is even now. Wake up out of your sleep; for, our salvation is now nearer, than when we believe.

12 the night is far gone, and daytime has drawn near; therefore, put away the work of darkness, and put on (attacking) armour of the Light.

13 As in the daytime, you should walk decently; not in revelry/being loose in intoxication, not in cohabitation (coitus) even of ungodliness/incontinence, not in quarrel and envy.

14 But, put on/be investitured with the things of the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will not make forethought/provisions unto the lusts of the flesh.

ROMAN CHAPTER 14

Rom 14

Dead or Alive, our liberty is for the Lord

1 Accept those who are weak. However, Faith is not into judging through/estimating thoughts (not judgmental),

2 some who indeed have faith to eat all things but those who weak, could eat vegetables.

3 those who eat, should not despise those who are not eating; moreover, those who are not eating, should not judge/decide for those who are eating: for God is the One to accept them. 

4 who are you, to judge fellow resident  of another person? Being stedfast or falling down is to his own lord. However, stand firm to be efficient, because standing firm is to their Lord.

5 there are those who indeed, judge/decide on a day, besides another person who has also decided on all days. It is as each person is fully-informed/persuaded in his own mind.

6 those who exercise mind on a day, exercise mind on it for the Lord; + and those who do not exercise mind on a day, do not exercise mind on it for the Lord + those eating, eat for the Lord, for, they express gratitude to God; and those who are not eating, do not eat for the Lord, but they are grateful to God.

7 for, none of us lives on his own and no one dies on his own.

8 because, in case we are living, we live for the Lord; and in case we die, we will die for the Lord. Therefore, in case we live, and even, in case, we die, it is for the Lord.

9 for, Christ died and live on unto this thing, at least to have dominion over the dead and the living.

There is Judgment seat 

10 So, why are you judging your brother, or why are you even despising your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

11 for, it is written, as I live, says the Supreme Lord for, all the knees will bend to ME, and all languages (tongues) will acknowledge God. (Is 45:23).

12 therefore, Ara (a heartfelt sigh lifted to heaven), each of us will give account about himself to God.

13 Therefore, you are not to judge one another any longer; but, rather judge this, that you never place/set a stumbling block or a snare (scandal) for a brother.

The kingdom is about Justification, Peace with God and Joy in the Holy SPIRIT 

14 I am aware and persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean by itself, except through those who reckon (count) anything unclean, to them, it will be unclean.

15 for, if because of broma (forbidden or allowed food), your brother is distressed, you are no longer walking according to selfless-love. This one, for whom Christ died, should not perish by your broma-food;

16 and then, your good (idea), will not be blasphemed.

17 No doubt, the Kingdom of God is not of eating and drinking, but for JUSTIFICATION, and PEACE (being set at one again with God), and JOY in the Holy SPIRIT.

18 for, those who are serving Christ in these things are acceptable to God, and approved by men.

19 therefore, Ara (a heartfelt desire lifted to heaven), pursue things of Peace and things unto full structure/edification of one another.

20 Never, on account of broma-food (forbidden or allowed), should the work of God be demolished. All things are clean indeed, but, it is worthless for a man, to be a stumbling block, through eating.

21 it is a virtuous thing never to eat butchered-meat, nor drink wine, not even things by which your brother will stumble or be entrapped or be weak.

22 You, who have Faith, hold on to it according to yourself before God. Supremely blessed are those who will not be judging themselves in what they attempt/try.

23 however, those who will be thoroughly dissecting/doubting, in case they eat, will be condemned. Because, it is not from faith; however, all things which are not from Faith, are of sin.

ROMAN Chapter 15/16

ROM 15

Selfless-love bear burden of others for God's sake

1 Moreover,  we, the stong ones, must lift/bear the weakness/failures of the weak ones and never seek to be agreeable/please ourselves.

2 Each of us should seek to please/satisfy his neighbour unto good things, towards edification.

3 for, even Christ did not seek to please Himself; but, as it is written: upon reproaching, your reproach, rest upon Me. (Ps 69:9)

4 no doubt, as much as that has been previously written, were written unto our doctrine/teachings, at least through cheerful-endurance of all things and by the exhortation through the Holy writings, we will have pleasurable-hope.

5 so, by exercising mind on the exhortation according to God, it will give you a cheerful endurance among one another in Christ Jesus. 

6 At least, by one mouth (language), we will unanimously glorify God and the FATHER of our Lord, Jesus Christ. 

Dont stop as christianos; be Christ-like in pleasurable-hope 

7 by this reason, accept one another, even as Christ accepts you, unto the Glory of God.

8 for, we become a minister/deacon of Christ, speaking the Truth of God, to establish/stabilize the promise unto the fathers; for the sake of those of circumcision,..

9 ... and for the sake of the Heathen nations by mercy, just as it is written, by this reason, (they will) acknowledge/profess YOU within Heathen races, playing musical instrument/making melody (psalo) to YOUR NAME, glorifying God. 2Sam 22:50)

10 And, again it was said, the heathen nations will make Merry (be in a good frame of mind) amidst HIS people. (Deut 32:43)

11 And again, Praise the Supreme Lord, all the heathen races, and commend/applaud HIM, all the people. (Ps 117:1)

12 And again, Isaiah said of the Root, and there shall be One from Jesse who will stand up to rule over the Heathen races; and the Heathen races will have hope upon Him. (Is 11:10) 

13 Moreover, to all who have faith; in pleasurable hope, you will be fulfilled, by Joy of the Peace with God; even as Holy SPIRIT increases in you unto miraculous power, in pleasurable-hope.

Paul was rest assure to have reproduce himself in them 

14 Moreover, Brethren, I am persuaded concerning you, that you are full of the same beneficence (agathosyne), and all knowledge, even the same as me, to be able to admonish one another and be fulfilled.

15 Moreover, more daringly, I have written to you, like reminding you of things from the SECTION (local assembly), through the grace given to me by God,

Gospel and miracles are spreading everywhere from Isreal to Europe 

16 Those with me, who are public-Ministers of  the gospel of Christ Jesus unto the heathen Nations as those officiating in holy service (as temple workers), have at least, generated acceptable/well-received offering (oblation or bloodless-sacrifice) of the Gentiles who are made holy (consecrated) by the Holy SPIRIT unto God, 

17 Therefore, we have things of boasting in Christ Jesus, towards God.

18 for, we dare not preach anything, by words or deeds, which was not accomplished (fully worked out) through Christ unto attentive listening/obedience of the heathen-races, 

19 by miraculous power, signs and wonders in the power of the Spirit of God; thus, we have fulfilled the gospel of Christ, away from Jerusalem, and as far as Illyricum shore (Europe region) to those all around. 

20 moreover, we are likewise being ambitious to preach the gospel, where Christ has not been named/mentioned, at least not to build upon foundation of another;

21 but, as it is written, (they) will clearly discern {what has not been rehearsed concerning HIM}; and (they will) understand (mentally put together), what has not been heard. (Is 52:15). 

Plan to visit Rome and insufficient labourers

22 even on this account, many are hindered to come towards you.

23 Also, for emphasy, we no longer have competent ones (hikanons) in places for years, however, we have intense-desire to come towards you from this region (clime)

24 As it were, (we will) possibly travel unto SPAIN, because, I expect, as we are passing through, (they will) visit you; and they should be sent forward (aid in travel) from there by you, in case, you, from the SECTION (local assembly) have first of all, been filled/satisfied.

25 Also, for emphasy, I am taking a journey to Jerusalem, to serve (relief materials to) the saints,

26 because certain persons of Macedonia of Achaia (in Greece)  are well pleased to make contribution/do partnership unto the poor of the saints in Jerusalem.

27 they are well pleased, because they are indebted to them; for, if having shared in their spiritual things, the Gentiles-races, also ought to minister to them in material things.

28  fully accomplish this, by setting a seal on this fruits on account of you to them, then, they will depart unto Spain (Europe).

There is fulness of the blessings of Christ and 2 prayer points for Paul

29 Also, be aware that on coming towards you, I am coming in the fullness of the blessings of Christ.

30 Moreover, I beseech you, Brethren, through our Lord, Jesus Christ, and through the SPIRIT of selfless-Love, to strive together with me in oratory prayer towards God for me...

31.... at least, to be rescued from those who refuse to believe in Judea and our relief ministry unto Jerusalem, will become acceptable/well-received by the holy-saints;

32.... at least, I will come towards you, in cheerfulness, through the will of God, and I will be refreshed together with you.

33 So, the Peace with God be with you all. Amen.
