Romans 2:9Easy To Read VersionGod will give trouble and suffering to every person that does evil—to the Jews first and also to the non-Jews. See the chapter |
I began telling people that they should change their hearts and lives and turn back to God. I told the people to do things that show that they really changed their hearts.

Can anything separate us from Christ’s love? No! Can trouble separate us from Christ’s love? No! Can problems or persecution {\cf2\super [70]} separate us from Christ’s love? No!

In the new life there is no difference between Greeks and Jews. There is no difference between people that are circumcised {\cf2\super [16]} and people that are not circumcised, or people that are from some foreign country, or Scythians. {\cf2\super [17]} There is no difference between slaves and free people. But Christ is in all those believers. And Christ is all that is important.
