For God has shut up all in disobedience, so that He might show mercy to all.
But the Scripture has locked up the whole world under sin, so that the promise based on trust in Messiah Yeshua might be given to those who trust.
What then? Are we better than they? No, not at all. For we have already made the case that all—both Jewish and Greek people—are under sin.
namely, the righteousness of God through putting trust in Messiah Yeshua, to all who keep on trusting. For there is no distinction,
And as I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all to Myself.”
He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that through him everyone might believe.
For just as through the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man, many will be set right forever.
in like manner these also have now been disobedient with the result that, because of the mercy shown to you, they also may receive mercy.
Now before faith came, we were being guarded under Torah—bound together until the coming faith would be revealed.
