ROMANS Lesson 20

1 Kings 8:39

^[39] then listen from your heavenly dwelling place, forgive their sin, and act favorably toward each one based on your evaluation of his motives. (Indeed you are the only one who can correctly evaluate the motives of all people.) (NET)

Job 9:4

^[4] He is wise in heart and mighty in strength—who has resisted him and remained safe? (NET)

Job 28:12-28

^[12] “But wisdom—where can it be found?Where is the place of understanding?

^[13] Mankind does not know its place; it cannot be found in the land of the living.

^[14] The deep says, ‘It is not with me.’And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’

^[15] Fine gold cannot be given in exchange for it,nor can its price be weighed out in silver.

^[16] It cannot be measured out for purchase with the gold of Ophir,with precious onyx or sapphires.

^[17] Neither gold nor crystal can be compared with it,nor can a vase of gold match its worth.

^[18] Of coral and jasper no mention will be made;the price of wisdom is more than pearls.

^[19] The topaz of Cush cannot be compared with it;it cannot be purchased with pure gold.

^[20] “But wisdom—where does it come from? Where is the place of understanding?

^[21] For it has been hidden from the eyes of every living creature,and from the birds of the sky it has been concealed.

^[22] Destruction and Death say,‘With our ears we have heard a rumor about where it can be found.’

^[23] God understands the way to it,and he alone knows its place.

^[24] For he looks to the ends of the earthand observes everything under the heavens.

^[25] When he made the force of the windand measured the waters with a gauge,

^[26] when he imposed a limit for the rain,and a path for the thunderstorm,

^[27] then he looked at wisdom and assessed its value; he established it and examined it closely.

^[28] And he said to mankind,‘The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom,and to turn away from evil is understanding.’” (NET)

Psalm 147:4

^[4] He counts the number of the stars;he names all of them. (NET)

Proverbs 3:19

^[19] By wisdom the Lord laid the foundation of the earth; he established the heavens by understanding. (NET)

Genesis 1:27-30

^[27] God created humankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them, male and female he created them.

^[28] God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground.” ^[29] Then God said, “I now give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the entire earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. ^[30] And to all the animals of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has living breath in it—I give every green plant for food.” It was so. (NET)

John 3:16

^[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. (NET)

Acts 17:24-28

^[24] The God who made the world and everything in it, who is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by human hands, ^[25] nor is he served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives life and breath and everything to everyone. ^[26] From one man he made every nation of the human race to inhabit the entire earth, determining their set times and the fixed limits of the places where they would live, ^[27] so that they would search for God and perhaps grope around for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. ^[28] For in him we live and move about and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we too are his offspring.’ (NET)

Job 41:11

^[11] Who has confronted me that I should repay? Everything under heaven belongs to me! (NET)

Romans 12:1

^[1] Therefore I exhort you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice—alive, holy, and pleasing to God—which is your reasonable service. (NET)

Isaiah 43:7

^[7] everyone who belongs to me, whom I created for my glory,whom I formed—yes, whom I made”. (NET)

Ephesians 1:5-10

^[5] He did this by predestining us to adoption as his legal heirs through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his will— ^[6] to the praise of the glory of his grace that he has freely bestowed on us in his dearly loved Son. ^[7] In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our offenses, according to the riches of his grace ^[8] that he lavished on us in all wisdom and insight. ^[9] He did this when he revealed to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, ^[10] toward the administration of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ—the things in heaven and the things on earth. (NET)

Revelation 4:11

^[11] “You are worthy, our Lord and God,to receive glory and honor and power,since you created all things,and because of your will they existed and were created!” (NET)
