Romans 7:2-3

For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.

Romans 7:4-6

Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death.

The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Commentary; The Lord will bless those who genuinely follow His instructions regarding keeping the Sabbath.

Romans 7:7-12

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law.

I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

Commentary; The holy law reveals the sin that needs to be repudiated.

Isaiah 59:1-3

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear.

Commentary; Those who genuinely believe in Jesus, The Christ, and who genuinely follow His precepts, will be blessed. Those who don't, will not be blessed.

Romans 7:13-14

For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.

Commentary; Ever since Adam and Eve's original sin in the garden resulted in mankind's resulting sinful nature, unless resolved, disqualifies him/her from spending eternity with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, which is why Father God sent Jesus, His only begotten Son, to be mankind's propitiation for every sin.

Romans 7:18-20

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.

I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Commentary; Every human being is born with an inherent sin nature. Only a genuine belief in the sovereignty of the Lord Jesus, The Christ, can remove all sins.

He saw that there was no man, And wondered that there was no intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.

Commentary; For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son...

O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

Commentary; The Lord will defend those who genuinely believe in Him, and who genuinely follow His precepts.

Romans 11:5-6

Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

Commentary; A person can only receive salvation through the grace of God. A person cannot receive salvation by "doing good works" because that would mean that salvation can be earned, which it cannot.

Commentary; The Lord will bless those who genuinely believe in Him, and who genuinely follow His precepts.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, And bow down their back always.”

Commentary; The Lord will drop the scales from the eyes of those who genuinely believe in Him, and who genuinely follow His precepts.

Isaiah 59:21

“As for Me,” says the Lord, “this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” says the Lord, “from this time and forevermore.”

Commentary; The Lord will send His Holy Spirit to be with every generation who genuinely believes in Him, and who genuinely follows His precepts.

Romans 11:11-12

I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

Commentary; Father God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, extended His free offer for salvation to every person in the world, requiring only that they genuinely accept Jesus, Father God's only begotten Son, as their Lord and Master.

Isaiah 60:1-3

Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.

Commentary; Jesus, The Christ, is Lord over all. He is the Light of the World.

Romans 11:13-15

For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.

But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
