2 Corinthians 3:9 Cross References - Wesley

⁹ much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

³ For they being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. ⁴ For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. ⁵ For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, The man who doth these things shall live by them. ⁶ But the righteousness which is by faith speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, (that is, to bring Christ down:) ⁷ Or who shall descend into the deep? ⁸ (that is, to bring Christ again from the dead) But what saith he? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart; that is, the word of faith which we preach: ⁹ That if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart, that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.

⁹ that I may gain Christ, And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:

¹⁷ For the righteousness of God is revealed therein from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live by faith. ¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven, against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who detain the truth in unrighteousness.

²¹ But the righteousness of God without the law is now manifested, being attested by the law and the prophets, ²² Even the righteousness of God, by the faith of Jesus Christ, to all and upon all that believe; for there is no difference:

¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith, which he had in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all who believe in uncircumcision, that righteousness may be imputed to them also,

¹⁵ Yet not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if by the offence of one many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, that of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. ¹⁶ And not as the loss by one that sinned, so is the gift; for the sentence was by one offence to condemnation; but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. ¹⁷ For if through one man's offence death reigned by one, they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, shall much more reign in life, by one, even Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ As therefore by one offence the sentence of death came upon all men to condemnation, so also by one righteousness the free gift came upon all men to justification of life. ¹⁹ For as by the disobedience of one man, many were constituted sinners, so by the obedience of one, many shall be constituted righteous. ²⁰ But the law came in between, that the offence might abound: yet where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: ²¹ That as sin had reigned through death, so grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.

³ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God hath done: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, to be a sacrifice for sin, he hath condemned sin in the flesh: ⁴ That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

³⁰ and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

⁴¹ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: and one star differeth from another star in glory.

⁶ Who also hath made us able ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life. ⁷ And if the ministration of death engraven in letters on stones was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly on the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face, which was to be abolished: Shall not rather the ministration of the Spirit be glorious?

¹⁰ For even that which was made glorious, had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excelleth. ¹¹ For if that which is abolished was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.

²¹ For he hath made him, who knew no sin, a sin-offering for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God through him.

¹⁰ for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all the things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.

⁴ Christ is become of no effect to you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. ⁵ For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

⁵ And Moses verily was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of the things, which were to be afterwards spoken: ⁶ But Christ as a Son over his own house, whose house we are, if we hold fast the confidence and the glorying of hope, firm to the end.

¹⁸ For ye are not come to the mountain that could be touched, and the burning fire, ¹⁹ and blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard intreated that the word might not be spoken to them any more. ²⁰ For they could not bear that which was commanded, If even a beast touch the mountain, let it be stoned. ²¹ And so terrible was the appearance, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and tremble.

¹ Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us, thro' the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
