Romans 1:16-17: Theme of the Book of Romans
|King James (LDS edition) |New Revised Standard |New International |

|b JST Rom. 1: 17 . . . through faith on his| | |
|name; as it is written . | | |
|1. Why would Paul find it necessary to say he is not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ? Why isn't he ashamed? |
|2. What kind of power does the Gospel have? |
|3. For whom does the Gospel have this power? |
|4. In what order (according to Paul) does the Gospel come? Why does he make this point? |
|5. What does the Gospel reveal? (This is a major theme in Romans). What is "God's righteousness?" |
|6. Paul uses scripture to make his point. Why is this important? |
Romans 2:25-29: Outward observance vs. inward conversion
|KJV (LDS scriptures) |NRSV |NIV |
| 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one |2 28For a person is not a Jew who is one |28A man is not a Jew if he is only one |
|outwardly; neither is that circumcision, |outwardly, nor is true circumcision |outwardly, nor is circumcision merely |
|which is outward in the flesh: |something external and physical. 29Rather, |outward and physical. 29No, a man is a Jew |
| 29 But he is a Jew, which is one |a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and |if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is |
|inwardly; and acircumcision is that of the |real circumcision is a matter of the |circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, |

|letter; whose praise is not of men, but of |a person receives praise not from others |praise is not from men, but from God. |
|God. |but from God. | |
|Are there any parallels to our lives in today's Church? |
Romans 3:19-26: The atonement – not the law – justifies.
|KJV (LDS Scriptures) |NRSV |NIV |
|19 Now we know that what things soever the |19Now we know that whatever the law says, |19Now we know that whatever the law says, |
|law saith, it saith to them who are under |it speaks to those who are under the law, |it says to those who are under the law, so |

| 24 aBeing bjustified freely by his cgrace| | |
|through the dredemption that is in Christ | | |
|Jesus: | | |
| | | |
|[24a JST Rom. 3: 24 Therefore being |25whom God put forward as a sacrifice of |25God presented him as a sacrifice of |

|righteousness: that he might be ajust, and | | |
|the justifier of him which believeth in | | |
|Jesus. | | |
|v. 19: how does the law silence every mouth? |
|v. 21: where does our righteousness come from? |
|v. 22: what/who does "no difference" refer to? |
|v. 26: see Alma 42:14-15 |
| |
|Three ways of looking at the atonement (v. 24-25): |
|1. Justification = legally acquitted from sin; declared not guilty = righteous (image: court of law) |
|2. Redemption = being purchased free from captivity or slavery (image of a slave market) |
|3. Propitiation = turning away the wrath of God (image of stay of execution) |
|NONE OF THESE completely (or even come close) describes the atonement. |
| |
|Also, Paul will put forward a fourth way of looking at the atonement in 5:10-11: |
|4. Reconciliation = the ending of the state of hostility between man and God. Enemies (man and God) have become friends. |
Romans 4:1-5: What Abraham discovered regarding JUSTIFICATION
|KJV (LDS Scriptures) |JST |NRSV |NIV |
| 1 What shall we say then that |2 For if Abraham were justified by |What then are we to say was gained|1What then shall we say that Abraham,|
|Abraham our father, as pertaining to |the law of works, he hath to glory |by Abraham, our ancestor according|our forefather, discovered in this |

| 2 aFor if Abraham were justified by | 3 For what saith the Scripture? |justified by works, he has |justified by works, he had something |
|works, he hath bwhereof to glory; but |Abraham believed God, and it was |something to boast about, but not |to boast about—but not before God. |
|not before God. |counted unto him for righteousness.|before God. 3For what does the |3What does the Scripture say? |
| 3 For what saith the scripture? | 4 Now to him who is justified by |scripture say? “Abraham believed |"Abraham believed God, and it was |
|Abraham abelieved God, and it was |the law of works, is the reward |God, and it was reckoned to him as|credited to him as righteousness." |

|ungodly, his faith is counted for |the ungodly, his faith is |righteousness. |wicked, his faith is credited |
|righteousness. |counted for righteousness. | |as righteousness. |
|What was credited to Abraham as righteousness? |
|Does this imply a gift? |
|Wages paid for work is not what? |
|Who are the "wicked" or "ungodly" that God justifies? (see 5:6) |
|See v. 23-25: Justification by faith/grace applies not only to Abraham but also to us, IF we believe in Christ, who was dead but |
|brought to life. |
Romans 5:1-8 Some results of JUSTIFICATION: Peace and hope
|KJV (LDS scriptures) |NRSV |NIV |
|1 Therefore being ajustified by bfaith, we |Therefore, since we are justified by faith,|1Therefore, since we have been justified |

| 3 And not only so, but we glory in |we also boast in our sufferings, knowing |3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our |
|atribulations also: knowing that |that suffering produces endurance, 4and |sufferings, because we know that suffering |

| 6 For when we were yet without astrength,| |ungodly. |
|in due time Christ died for the ungodly. | | |
| | | |
|v. 1-2 What does it mean to be at peace with God? see v. 10-11, Mosiah 3:19, 4:2-3; Ether 3:12 |
|v. 3-5 What is the sequence here? Suffering-endurance/patience/perseverance-character-hope. |
|v. 6: Who are the ungodly? |
Romans 6:1-4 Baptism
|KJV (LDS scriptures) |NRSV |NIV |
|What shall we say then? Shall we continue |What then are we to say? Should we continue|1What shall we say, then? Shall we go on |
|in sin, that agrace may abound? |in sin in order that grace may abound? 2By |sinning so that grace may increase? 2By no |

|dead to bsin, live any longer therein? |living in it? 3Do you not know that all of |it any longer? 3Or don't you know that all |
| 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were|us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus|of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus |
|abaptized into Jesus Christ were baptized |were baptized into his death? 4Therefore we|were baptized into his death? 4We were |

| 4 Therefore we are aburied with him by |death, so that, just as Christ was raised |into death in order that, just as Christ |

|also in the likeness of his cresurrection: | | |
|What does baptism point to in the life of Christ? |
|What does baptism symbolize in our own lives? |
Romans 8:31-39 Victory over Death
|KJV (LDS Scriptures) |NRSV |NIV |
|31 What shall we then say to these things? |1What then are we to say about these |1What, then, shall we say in response to |
