Bible verses about "condemnation" | Moffatt

¹ As we are justified by faith, then, let us enjoy the peace we have with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ² Through him we have got access to this grace where we have our standing, and triumph in the hope of God's glory. ³ Not only so, but we triumph even in our troubles, knowing that trouble produces endurance, ⁴ endurance produces character, and character produces hope — ⁵ a hope which never disappoints us, since God's love floods our hearts through the holy Spirit which has been given to us. ⁶ For when we were still in weakness, Christ died in due time for the ungodly. For the ungodly! ⁷ Why, a man will hardly die for the just — though one might bring oneself to die, if need be, for a good man. ⁸ But God proves his love for us by this, that Christ died for us when we were still sinners. ⁹ Much more then, now that we are justified by his blood, shall we be saved by him from Wrath. ¹⁰ If we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son when we were enemies, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. ¹¹ Not only so, but we triumph in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we now enjoy our reconciliation. ¹² Thus, then, sin came into the world by one man, and death came in by sin; and so death spread to all men, inasmuch as all men sinned. ¹³ Sin was indeed in the world before the Law, but sin is never counted in the absence of law. ¹⁴ Nevertheless, from Adam to Moses death reigned even over those whose sins were not like Adam's transgression. Adam prefigured Him who was to come, ¹⁵ but the gift is very different from the trespass. For while the rest of men died by the trespass of one man, the grace of God and the free gift which comes by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ overflowed far more richly upon the rest of men. ¹⁶ Nor is the free gift like the effect of the one man's sin; for while the sentence ensuing on a single sin resulted in doom, the free gift ensuing on many trespasses issues in acquittal. ¹⁷ For if the trespass of one man allowed death to reign through that one man, much more shall those who receive the overflowing grace and free gift of righteousness reign in life through One, through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ Well then, as one man's trespass issued in doom for all, so one man's act of redress issues in acquittal and life for all. ¹⁹ Just as one man's disobedience made all the rest sinners, so one man's obedience will make all the rest righteous. ²⁰ Law slipped in to aggravate the trespass; sin increased, but grace surpassed it far, ²¹ so that, while sin had reigned the reign of death, grace might also reign with a righteousness that ends in life eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁹ if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, he forgives our sins and cleanses us from all iniquity;

¹ Thus there is no doom now for those who are in Christ Jesus; ² the law of the Spirit brings the life which is in Christ Jesus, and that law has set me free from the law of sin and death. ³ For God has done what the Law, weakened here by the flesh, could not do; by sending his own Son in the guise of sinful flesh, to deal with sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ in order to secure the fulfilment of the Law's requirements in our lives, as we live and move not by the flesh but by the Spirit. ⁵ For those who follow the flesh have their interests in the flesh, and those who follow the Spirit have their interests in the Spirit. ⁶ The interests of the flesh mean death, the interests of the Spirit mean life and peace. ⁷ For the interests of the flesh are hostile to God; they do not yield to the law of God (indeed they cannot). ⁸ Those who are in the flesh cannot satisfy God. ⁹ But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells within you. Anyone who does not possess the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him. ¹⁰ On the other hand, if Christ is within you, though the body is a dead thing owing to Adam's sin, the spirit is living as the result of righteousness. ¹¹ And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells within you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies live by his indwelling Spirit in your lives. ¹² Well then, my brothers, we owe a duty — but it is not to the flesh! It is not to live by the flesh! ¹³ If you live by the flesh, you are on the road to death; but if by the Spirit you put the actions of the body to death, you will live. ¹⁴ For the sons of God are those who are guided by the Spirit of God. ¹⁵ You have received no slavish spirit that would make you relapse into fear; you have received the Spirit of sonship. And when we cry, "Abba! Father!", ¹⁶ it is this Spirit testifying along with our own spirit that we are children of God; ¹⁷ and if children, heirs as well, heirs of God, heirs along with Christ — for we share his sufferings in order to share his glory. ¹⁸ Present suffering, I hold, is a mere nothing compared to the glory that we are to have revealed. ¹⁹ Even the creation waits with eager longing for the sons of God to be revealed. ²⁰ For creation was not rendered futile by its own choice, but by the will of Him who thus made it subject, ²¹ the hope being that creation as well as man would one day be freed from its thraldom to decay and gain the glorious freedom of the children of God. ²² To this day, we know, the entire creation sighs and throbs with pain; ²³ and not only so, but even we ourselves, who have the Spirit as a foretaste of the future, even we sigh to ourselves as we wait for the redemption of the body that means our full sonship. ²⁴ We were saved with this hope in view. Now when an object of hope is seen, there is no further need to hope. Who ever hopes for what he sees already? ²⁵ But if we hope for something that we do not see, we wait for it patiently. ²⁶ So too the Spirit assists us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray aright, but the Spirit pleads for us with sighs that are beyond words, ²⁷ and He who searches the human heart knows what is in the mind of the Spirit, since the Spirit pleads before God for the saints. ²⁸ We know also that those who love God, those who have been called in terms of his purpose, have his aid and interest in everything. ²⁹ For he decreed of old that those whom he predestined should share the likeness of his Son — that he might be the firstborn of a great brotherhood. ³⁰ Then he calls those whom he has thus decreed; then he justifies those whom he has called; then he glorifies those whom he has justified. ³¹ Now what follows from all this? If God is for us, who can be against us? ³² The God who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, surely He will give us everything besides! ³³ Who is to accuse the elect of God? When God acquits, ³⁴ who shall condemn? Will Christ? — the Christ who died, yes and rose from the dead! the Christ who is at God's right hand, who actually pleads for us! ³⁵ What can ever part us from Christ's love? Can anguish or calamity or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or the sword? ³⁶ (Because, as it is written, For thy sake we are being killed all the day long, we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.) ³⁷ No, in all this we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am certain neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, ³⁹ no powers of the Height or of the Depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to part us from God's love in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹¹ She said, "No one, sir." Jesus said, "Neither do I; be off, and never sin again."]

³⁴ who shall condemn? Will Christ? — the Christ who died, yes and rose from the dead! the Christ who is at God's right hand, who actually pleads for us!

²⁰ whenever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart, and he knows all.

¹⁷ God did not send his Son into the world to pass sentence on it, but to save the world by him.

¹ Therefore you are inexcusable, whoever you are, if you pose as a judge, for in judging another you condemn yourself; you, the judge, do the very same things yourself. ² 'We know the doom of God falls justly upon those who practise such vices.' ³ Very well; and do you imagine you will escape God's doom, O man, you who judge those who practise such vices and do the same yourself? ⁴ Or are you slighting all his wealth of kindness, forbearance, and patience? Do you not know his kindness is meant to make you repent? ⁵ In your stubbornness and impenitence of heart you are simply storing up anger for yourself on the Day of anger, when the just doom of God is revealed. ⁶ For he will render to everyone according to what he has done, ⁷ eternal life to those who by patiently doing good aim at glory, honour, and immortality, ⁸ but anger and wrath to those who are wilful, who disobey the Truth and obey wickedness — ⁹ anguish and calamity for every human soul that perpetrates evil, for the Jew first and for the Greek as well, ¹⁰ but glory, honour, and peace for everyone who does good, for the Jew first and for the Greek as well. ¹¹ There is no partiality about God. ¹² All who sin outside the Law will perish outside the Law, and all who sin under the Law will be condemned by the Law. ¹³ For it is not the hearers of the Law who are just in the eyes of God, it is those who obey the Law who will be acquitted, ¹⁴ [Move vss 14,15 to follow vs 16] (When Gentiles who have no law obey instinctively the Law's requirements, they are a law to themselves, even though they have no law; ¹⁵ they exhibit the effect of the Law written on their hearts, their conscience bears them witness, as their moral convictions accuse or it may be defend them.) ¹⁶ on the day when God judges the secret things of men, as my gospel holds, by Jesus Christ. ¹⁷ If you bear the name of 'Jew,' relying on the Law, priding yourself on God, ¹⁸ understanding his will, and with a sense of what is vital in religion; if you are instructed by the Law ¹⁹ and are persuaded that you are a guide to the blind, a light to darkened souls, ²⁰ a tutor for the foolish, a teacher of the simple, because in the Law you have the embodiment of knowledge and truth — ²¹ well then, do you ever teach yourself, you teacher of other people? You preach against stealing; do you steal? ²² You forbid adultery; do you commit adultery? You detest idols; do you rob temples? ²³ You pride yourself on the Law; do you dishonour God by your breaches of the Law? ²⁴ Why, it is owing to you that the name of God is maligned among the Gentiles, as scripture says! ²⁵ Circumcision is certainly of use, provided you keep the Law; but if you are a breaker of the Law, then your circumcision is turned into uncircumcision. ²⁶ (If then the uncircumcised observe the requirements of the Law, shall not their uncircumcision be reckoned equivalent to circumcision? ²⁷ And shall not those who are physically uncircumcised and who fulfil the Law, judge you who are a breaker of the Law for all your written code and circumcision?) ²⁸ He is no Jew who is merely a Jew outwardly, nor is circumcision something outward in the flesh; ²⁹ he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, spiritual not literal — praised by God, not by man.

¹ Thus there is no doom now for those who are in Christ Jesus;
