Aug 19, 2015 · Paul explains everything he’s been talking about throughout Romans 9 by appealing to the morally responsible choices of the Israelites and Gentiles. The one thing God has always looked for in people is faith. The Jews did not “strive” by faith, though they should have (cf. 10:3). They rather chose to trust in their own works.

Paul’s Use of His Freedom - Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law.

A., The Message of Philippians, InterVarsity Press, 1984, p. 212). The word pure here means “holy” in the sense of “moral purity.”.
Jun 24, 2024 · In the context of Paul rebuking these false teachers, he says, “To the pure all things are pure” (verse 15). When Paul writes that “to the pure all things are pure” (Titus 1:15), he does not mean that a sinful thing becomes right to a pure-minded person.

He willingly became a servant of all to win as many converts as possible. In saying, “I have made myself a servant to all,” Paul had adopted the mindset of ...
Jun 17, 2009 · The apostle Paul laments in Romans 7 that the good he would do he does not do, and the thing he does not want to do is the very thing he does. Paul’s frustration over the wretchedness of his condition would seem totally to refute Edwards’s thesis of the relationship of choice to desire.
