Christ.

Paul wrote:
For therein is the righteousness
of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by
faith.
1Copied

Behold, his soul which is
lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

For the name of God is
blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
2Copied
from OT:
Now therefore, what have I
here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule
over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every
day is blasphemed.
|
|
Paul wrote:
God forbid: yea, let God be
true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified
in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
3Copied
from OT:
Against thee, thee only,
have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be
justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
|
|
Paul wrote:
As it is written, There is
none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that
seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become
unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4Copied
from OT:
The fool hath said in his
heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,
there is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the
children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none
that doeth good, no, not one.

heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity:
there is none that doeth good. God looked down from heaven upon the children
of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every
one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none
that doeth good, no, not one.

Paul wrote:
Their throat is an open
sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is
under their lips:

For there is no
faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their
throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is

Their feet are swift to
shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace
have they not known:
9Copied
from OT:
Their feet run to evil, and
they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of
iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they
know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them
crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
|
|
Paul wrote:
There is no fear of God
before their eyes.

transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom
the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say
that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they

the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had
not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his
maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

called.

Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy
bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for
in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

For this is the word of promise,
At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
22Copied
from OT:
And he said, I will
certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy
wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind
him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased
to be with Sarah after the manner of women. Therefore Sarah laughed within
herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being
old also? And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying,
Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is any thing too hard for the
LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of
life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Paul wrote:

elder shall serve the younger.

Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from
thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and
the elder shall serve the younger.

Paul wrote:
As it is written, Jacob
have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
24Copied
from OT:
I have loved you, saith the
LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother?

will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom
I will have compassion.
25Copied

And it shall come to pass,
that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there
shall they be called the children of the living God.
28Copied
from OT:
Yet the number of the
children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured
nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said
unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the
sons of the living God.
|
|
Paul wrote:
Esaias also crieth
concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand
of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: For he will finish the work, and cut it
short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the
earth.
29Copied
from OT:
For though thy people
Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the
consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. For the Lord GOD of
hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the
land.
|

Paul wrote:
And as Esaias said before,
Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and
been made like unto Gomorrha.

Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a
precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make
haste.

righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things
shall live by them.

from OT:
Ye shall therefore keep my
statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am
the LORD.

Paul wrote:
But the righteousness which
is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend
into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
34Copied
from OT:
Speak not thou in thine
heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee,
saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this
land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out
from before thee.
|
|
Paul wrote:
But the righteousness which
is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend
into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall
descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But
what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart:
that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
35Copied
from OT:
It is not in heaven, that
thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us,
that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou
shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that
we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth,
and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
37Copied

And it shall come to pass,
that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in
mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and
in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Paul wrote:
And how shall they preach,
except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that
preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
38Copied
from OT:
How beautiful upon the
mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace;
that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith
unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
|
|
Paul wrote:
But they have not all
obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
39Copied
from OT:
Who hath believed our
report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto
the ends of the world.

know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no
people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
41Copied

They have moved me to
jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with
their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a
people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

Paul wrote:
But Esaias is very bold,
and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto
them that asked not after me.

asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me,

day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying
people.

good, after their own thoughts;

Lord, they have killed thy
prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my
life.
44Copied
from OT:
And he said, I have been
very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have
forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with
the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it
away. And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And,
behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains,
and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the
wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the
earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the
fire: and after the fire a still small voice. And it was so, when Elijah heard
it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the
entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said,
What doest thou here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for the
LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant,
thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even
I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

back alway.

to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy
seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

He that despised Moses' law
died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
27Copied
from OT:
At the mouth of two
witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to
death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
One witness shall not rise
up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he
sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses,
shall the matter be established.

Paul wrote:
For we know him that hath
said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And
again, The Lord shall judge his people.
28Copied
from OT:
To me belongeth vengeance,
and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their
calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. For
the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he
seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

Paul wrote:
For yet a little while, and
he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by
faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
29Copied
from OT:
For the vision is yet for
an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it
tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold,
his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by
his faith.

Paul wrote:
By faith Enoch was
translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had
translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he
pleased God.
30Copied
from OT:
And Enoch walked with God:
and he was not; for God took him.

Paul wrote:
Of whom it was said, That
in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
31Copied
from OT:
And God said unto Abraham,
Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy
bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for
in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

Paul wrote:
By faith Jacob, when he was
a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the
top of his staff.
32Copied
from OT:
And he said, Swear unto me.
And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.

Paul wrote:
And ye have forgotten the exhortation
which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the
chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the
Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
33Copied
from OT:
My son, despise not the
chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD
loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Paul wrote:
(For they could not endure
that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it
shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
34Copied
from OT:
And thou shalt set bounds
unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not
up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount
shall be surely put to death: There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall
surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not
live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.

Paul wrote:
And so terrible was the
sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
35Copied
from OT:
For I was afraid of the
anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to
destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.

Paul wrote:
Whose voice then shook the earth:
but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only,
but also heaven.
36Copied
from OT:
For thus saith the LORD of
hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the
earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

Paul wrote:
Let your conversation be
without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath
said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
37Copied
from OT:
Be strong and of a good
courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that
doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. And Moses called
unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a
good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD
hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to
inherit it. And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with
thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be
dismayed.

Paul wrote:
So that we may boldly say,
The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
38Copied
from OT:
The LORD is on my side; I
will not fear: what can man do unto me?
