Paul’s perspective on life and death is founded upon the bedrock certainty of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and from that, the certainty that all the dead will be raised—some to eternal life, and some to eternal torment. From what we read in Romans 15:22-33, we know Paul had long hoped to visit the saints in Rome.
In verse 15, Paul reflects on what it means to live one’s life as a woman and considers the sphere of a woman’s life as a whole (see below). The dress of woman during times of worship was particularly noticeable, though it doesn’t logically lead to the conclusion that Paul didn’t care about what women wore at other times.

- In 1 Corinthians Paul says seven times, “It is written” (see 1:19; 2:9; 3:19; 9:10; 10:7; 14:21), obviously drawing upon Old Testament writings. In three places he directly refers to the law of Moses or the children of Israel (see 9:10; 10:1–11; 14:21), and in several places he paraphrases or quotes Isaiah (see 15:32, 54).

Jan 4, 2022 · Answer. The Christian life is supposed to be a life lived by faith. It is by faith that we enter into the Christian life, and it is by faith that we live it out. When we begin the Christian life by coming to Christ for forgiveness of sin, we understand that what we seek cannot be obtained by any other means than by faith.

Jul 30, 2013 · In Philippians 4:9, Paul exhorts us to follow his example by becoming doers of the Word. He shows us that. Christian conduct is built on biblical content and is vital because it results in the very presence of the God of peace. Verse 9 must not be separated from verse 8. Our thought life forms the basis for our behavior.
