Romans G

<p>For additional notes and resources check out Douglas’ <a href="https://www.douglasjacoby.com/romans-g-310-31/" target="_blank"><strong>website.</strong></a></p><p>This is the seventh lesson (20 minutes) in our series, <i>Romans A-Z.  </i>There is some overlap with the previous podcast, is it ended with 3:10-18. Here we return to 3:10-18 for some deeper interpretive spadework, then complete the chapter. Some passages referred to in this podcast (not all--sorry!) are Genesis 19; Judges 19; Psalms 10-12; Job 28:18; Romans 7:12, 16, 21; 1 Timothy 1:8. The Greek word I cited was <i>nomos</i> -- the usual word for law, though some versions render it "principle" in v.27, perhaps because the translators are uncomfortable with Paul's positive allusions to law.</p><p>After these three chapters on sin (Romans 1-3), the foundation will have been laid for Paul's key chapters on justification by faith (Romans 4-5).</p><p>Suggested for memory: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:23-24).</p>
