This document appears to be a collection of passages from the book of Romans in the Bible. It discusses how all people have sinned and fallen short of God's glory but that God demonstrates his love for humanity through sending Jesus, who died for sins. It notes that one is saved through faith in Jesus and calling on his name. Salvation is a gift from God through grace, not works. The law itself is good but sin uses the law to tempt disobedience. Even though people are sinful, Jesus can set things right for those who want to serve God.

4. There is no one
righteous, not even one.
Romans 3:10

5. For all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:23

6. For the wages of sin is
death, but the gift of God is
eternal life is Christ Jesus
our Lord.
Romans 6:23

7. But God demonstrates his
own love for us in this:
while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8

8. For God so loved the world
that he gave his only son,
that whoever believes in
him shall not perish, but
have eternal life.
John 3:16

9. If you confess with your mouth
that Jesus is Lord, and believe in
your heart that God raised him
from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you
believe and are justified, and it is
with your mouth that you
confess and are saved.
Romans 10:9-10

10. Everyone who calls on
the name of the Lord will
be saved.
Romans 10:13

11. For it is by grace you have been
saved, through faith – and this is
not of yourselves, it is the gift of
God – not by works, so that no one
can boast. For we are God’s
workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus to do good works.
Ephesians 2:8-10

22. But the law code itself is God’s good and
common sense, each command sane and holy
counsel. I can already hear your next question:
“Does that mean I can’t even trust what is good
[that is, the law]? Is good just as dangerous as
evil?” No again! Sin simply did what sin is so
famous for doing: using the good as a cover to
tempt me to do what would finally destroy me.
By hiding within God’s good commandment, sin
did far more mischief than it could ever have
accomplished on its own.
Romans 7:12-13
The Message

25. I can anticipate the response that is coming:
“I know that all God’s commands are
spiritual, but I’m not. Isn’t this also your
experience?” Yes. I’m full of myself—after all,
I’ve spent a long time in sin’s prison. What I
don’t understand about myself is that I
decide one way, but then I act another, doing
things I absolutely despise.
Romans 7:14-15
The Message

30. The answer, thank God, is that Jesus
Christ can and does. He acted to set
things right in this life of
contradictions where I want to
serve God with all my heart and
mind, but am pulled by the
influence of sin to do something
totally different.
Romans 7:25
