Meditating
on the Scriptures Together
Romans
2:25-3:1-4; 6:1-11
[2:25]
For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you
break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. [26] So, if
a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not
his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? [27] Then he who is
physically uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have
the written code and circumcision but break the law. [28] For no one
is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and
physical. [29] But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a
matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is
not from man but from God.
[3:1]
Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of
circumcision? [2] Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were
entrusted with the oracles of God. [3] What if some were unfaithful?
Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? [4] By no
means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is
written, “That you may be justified in your words,
and
prevail when you are judged.”
[6:1]
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may
abound? [2] By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
[3] Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ
Jesus were baptized into his death? [4] We were buried therefore with
him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised
from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in
newness of life.
[5]
For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall
certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. [6] We know
that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of
sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be
enslaved to sin. [7] For one who has died has been set free from sin.
[8] Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also
live with him. [9] We know that Christ, being raised from the dead,
will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. [10] For
the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives
he lives to God. [11] So you also must consider yourselves dead to
sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Matthew
8:14-17
[14] And when Jesus
entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a
fever. [15] He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose
and began to serve him. [16] That evening they brought to him many
who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word
and healed all who were sick. [17] This was to fulfill what was
spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our
diseases.”
