All the world is guilty before God
Keeping the law does not justify

Much more

Facts, statements of truth - Romans 5

We are made just by faith

We have peace with God through Jesus Christ

By whom we have access by faith into grace
In which we stand

And rejoice in hope (confident expectation of good)

in the glory of God (being good in His glory)
Hope also of being in His glory

We glory in trouble (pressure, oppression)

For we know

We know that trouble makes us patient (staying under His plan)

And we experience (know by living through) His Presence, help, goodness, love

Experience brings hope (confident expectation of knowing Him. He and His glory, being our life)

Hope makes not ashamed (lacking)

Because the love of God is shed abroad (all through) our hearts by the Holy Spirit

Who is given to us

For when we were without strength

At the right time

Christ died for the ungodly

But God commends (formally praises)

His love toward us

In that while we were sinners Christ died for us

Much more then

Being made just by His blood

We will be saved from wrath

through Him

For if, when we were enemies

We were reconciled to God

By the death of His Son

Much more

Being reconciled

We will be saved in His life

Also, we glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ

By whom we have now received the atonement (covering) (Greene says reconciliation)

By one man sin (missing the mark) entered the world

And death by sin
Passed to all men passed

for all sinned

Sin was in the world but was not charged (set to men) when there was no law

Death reigned from Adam to Moses

even on those who didn’t sin the same way as Adam

who is the shadow of the One coming

Not like the offense is the free gift

By the one offense many died

Much more the grace of God

And the gift of God (eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord)

In grace of the One man

Jesus Christ

Abounded to many

The gift is not like the one that sinned

One sin brought many to judgment and condemnation

The free gift is, by One, many made just of all offenses

By one offense death reigned through one

Much more those receiving

The abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness

Will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ
So then one offense brought all to condemnation

And one righteous act brings all to justification of life

By one man’s disobedience all were made sinners

By One man’s obedience many are made righteous

The law entered that the offense might abound

And where sin abounded grace abounded more

As sin reigned in death

Grace reigns in righteousness through Jesus Christ our Lord

He said, My covenant is with you and you will be a father of many nations
I will make you exceedingly fruitful. I will make nations from you and kings will come from you
I will set My covenant with you and your seed after you to be your God
[God is life. All life comes from Him. He holds it all together

John 10:10
And I will give you and your seed this land where you have been a foreigner for an everlasting possession
And I will be their God
You and your seed will keep/guard My covenant throughout their generations
The sign of this covenant is circumcision; every male of you and your descendants and those purchased for your household will be circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin on the 8th day.

(Vitamin K for blood clotting is highest on the 8th day)
Anyone that is not circumcised will be cut off from his people. He has broken My covenant
(This covenant dedicates oneself and their household to worship only the true God. To follow only Him and His ways
(Is there anything worse than being left out of everything, the outsider?

Those who worship false things cut themselves off from everything eternally precious and beautiful and wonderful and grand)
As for Sarai, I will bless her. She will be a mother of nations. Kings will come from her
Abraham fell on his face and laughed and said in his heart, Will a child be born to one 100 years old and Sarah who is 90?
He said to God, O that Ishmael might live before you!
The Lord said, Truly Sarah will bear you a son and you will call him Isaac (laughter)
I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant and with his seed after him
And I have heard you about Ishmael, I have blessed him and will make him exceedingly fruitful; he will beget 12 princes;
but I will establish My covenant with Isaac whom Sarah will bear to you at the set time next year
When He finished talking with Abraham He ascended up from him
And that very day Abraham circumcised himself, Ishmael, who was 13 years old, and all the males in his service, born in his house or bought with money
Genesis 17

The LORD appeared to Abraham in the terebinth (turpentine trees) of Mamre (strength, fatness): and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day
And he looked up and saw 3 men and when he saw them, he ran to meet them and bowed himself toward the ground saying,

My Lord, if I have found favor in Your sight, Please stay
Let me bring water to wash Your feet and you can rest under the tree
I will bring food to sustain your hearts
And Abraham ran to the tent to Sarah and said, Quickly get 3 measures of fine flour, knead it, and make cakes on the hearth

And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a young man; and he hurried to prepare it
And he took curds, and milk, and the calf he had dressed, and set it before them, and they ate
And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, See, in the tent
And He said, I will certainly return to you at the time of life; and Sarah will have a son

(This shows who is speaking)

And Sarah heard it in the tent door, behind Him
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, past the age of childbearing
So Sarah laughed within herself, saying, Being old, will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
And the LORD said to Abraham, Why has Sarah laughed at this saying, Indeed, truly? Shall I bear a child, who am old?
Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the set time I will return to you, and Sarah will have a son
Then Sarah denied, saying, I didn't laugh; for she was afraid. And He said, No; but you did laugh

(We can't lie to the Lord; He knows everything
'God is greater than our hearts and knows all things')
1 John 3:20
And the men got up and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way
And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I’m doing?
Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him

and they will keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment

that the LORD may bring on Abraham what He has spoken of him

[Draw near to God and He will draw near to you]
James 4:8
If there are 50 righteous in the city: will You also destroy and not spare the place for the 50 just that are in it?
Far be it from You to do this, to kill the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous be as the wicked, that be far from You

Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom 50 righteous in the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes

[God so loves the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but has everlasting life]

Romans 3:23

And He said, If I find there 45, I will not destroy it
And he spoke to him again and said, Perhaps 40 are found there

And He said, I will not do it for 40’s sake
And he said to him, Oh Lord, Don't be angry, and I will speak

If 30 are found there. And He said, I will not do it if I find 30 there
And he said, Behold now, I have taken on myself to speak to the Lord: If 20 are found there

And He said, I will not destroy it for 20's sake
And he said, Oh Lord, Don't be angry, and I will speak just this once: If 10 are found there

And He said, I will not destroy it for 10's sake
And the LORD left when He finished speaking with Abraham

Abraham returned to his place
