ROMANS Lesson 9

Romans 3:9-11, 23

^[9] What then? Are we better off? Certainly not, for we have already charged that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin,

^[10] just as it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;

^[11] there is no one who understands;there is no one who seeks God. ^[23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (NET)

Romans 8:20-21

^[20] For the creation was subjected to futility—not willingly but because of God who subjected it—in hope ^[21] that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of God’s children. (NET)

1 Corinthians 15:22

^[22] For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. (NET)

Ephesians 2:1-3

^[1] And although you were dead in your offenses and sins, ^[2] in which you formerly lived according to this world’s present path, according to the ruler of the domain of the air, the ruler of the spirit that is now energizing the sons of disobedience, ^[3] among whom all of us also formerly lived out our lives in the cravings of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath even as the rest… (NET)

Romans 5:15-21

^[15] But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many! ^[16] And the gift is not like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from the many failures led to justification. ^[17] For if, by the transgression of the one man, death reigned through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ!

^[18] Consequently, just as condemnation for all people came through one transgression, so too through the one righteous act came righteousness leading to life for all people. ^[19] For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of one man many will be constituted righteous. ^[20] Now the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more, ^[21] so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

John 3:7-21

^[7] Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must all be born from above.’ ^[8] The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

^[9] Nicodemus replied, “How can these things be?” ^[10] Jesus answered, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you don’t understand these things? ^[11] I tell you the solemn truth, we speak about what we know and testify about what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony. ^[12] If I have told you people about earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? ^[13] No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven—the Son of Man. ^[14] Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, ^[15] so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”

^[16] For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. ^[17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him. ^[18] The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. ^[19] Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil. ^[20] For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed. ^[21] But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.

Romans 10:9-13

^[9] because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ^[10] For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation. ^[11] For the scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” ^[12] For there is no distinction between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, who richly blesses all who call on him. ^[13] For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. (NET)

Romans 5:13-14

^[13] for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law. ^[14] Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam (who is a type of the coming one) transgressed. (NET)

Romans 7:7-12

^[7] What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, I would not have known sin except through the law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone else if the law had not said, “Do not covet.” ^[8] But sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of wrong desires. For apart from the law, sin is dead. ^[9] And I was once alive apart from the law, but with the coming of the commandment, sin became alive ^[10] and I died. So I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life brought death! ^[11] For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it I died. ^[12] So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.

Galatians 3:24

^[24] Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith. (NET)

Colossians 1:13-14

^[13] He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves, ^[14] in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. (NET)
