English “for” in Romans 4:3 was translated from Greek preposition 1519 eis denoting the point reached or entered into, of place, time, purpose, will, objective etc. Greek preposition 1519 eis is consistent with “the first commandment” Jesus defined in Matthew 22:36-38 and Mark 12:28-34. Greek preposition 1519 eis criteria is much different than the modern casual usage of English words “in” “on” and “for” which were translated from Greek preposition 1519 eis. Children believe “in” Santa Clause but that does not mean they enter into the place, time, purpose, will and objective of Santa Clause. Greek preposition 1519 eis was poorly translated into English “in” in John 3:16 but that is a minor infraction compared to Greek adjective 3956 pas. Greek adjective 3956 pas was correctly translated 918 times into English “all” but was mistranslated into English pronoun “whosoever” in John 3:16 because men’s pronoun “whosoever” enhanced religion’s authority and God’s adjective Pas/“all” diminished religion’s authority. John 3:16 better translated says: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, in order that all believeth in him, not perish but have everlasting life. Please note that I did not correct English mistranslation “in” from Greek preposition 1519 eis because the number of words required would have detracted from the true meaning of Greek adjective 3956 pas which was correctly translated into “all” in John 3:16 correction. The crux of aforementioned “first commandment” is that our heart, soul and mind be entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways which is consistent with God’s definition of Greek preposition 1519 eis so I refer you to the “first commandment” in previous posts.

Romans 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

English “righteousness” in Romans 4:3 was mistranslated from Greek feminine noun 1343 dikaiosune from a compound of Greek adjective 1342 dikaios describing and qualifying God’s definition of right and Greek suffix 4862 sun denoting union with God’s definition of right. There are 4,351 world religions because there are 4,351 different religious doctrines defining 4,351 different opinions of what is right.  None of those religions can actually displace God as the true performer of the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo.  

Romans 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

English “justified” was translated from Greek verb 1344 dikaioo subjectively meaning to make right and objectively meaning to be made right. In the context of Romans 4:2 God is the performer of the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo and Abraham is the recipient of the action of being made right so Abraham has no reason to glory or be prideful. English being made right directly ties to “righteousness” in Romans 4:3 that follows.

Romans 4:1 King James Version What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

English “flesh” was translated from Greek noun 4561 sarx which was translated into English “carnal” “carnally” and “flesh” in “That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” “For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit” “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace” “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be”. “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit”  “For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh”. Is the person behind a pulpit flesh? Do the Greek words in Hebrews 10:7 tell us that God is present in Greek words but not in English words? Did Jesus say “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”?

English “us” in Romans 8:4 was translated from Greek pronoun 2254 hemin. Acts 9:15’s Greek words confirm that the Apostle Paul is among God’s “seven thousand” “election” and John 15:16 confirms that God’s disciples are among God’s “seven thousand” “election”. Romans 11:4-7 says: “But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal” “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace” “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work” “What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded”. Israel is among “the rest” being everyone other than God’s “seven thousand” “election”. Romans 11:26-32 says: “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob” “For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins” “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes” “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” “For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief” “Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy” “For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all”. God’s “seven thousand” “election” shall cause “the rest” “to come unto the knowledge of the truth” during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which shall occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.

We need to reiterate the crux of Romans 3:30-31 pursuant to the context of the 4^th chapter of Romans.

Romans 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

English “shall justify” in Romans 3:30 was translated from Greek verb 1344 dikaioo subjectively meaning to make right and objectively meaning to be made right. The world’s 4,351 religions can perform the action of neither Greek verb 1344 dikaioo nor Greek verb 5048 teleioo. Only God can perform the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo and Greek verb 5048 teleioo subjectively meaning to cause a human being to complete transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to become entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways.   

English “by” in Romans 3:30 was translated from Greek preposition 1537 ek  denoting the origin from  whence action or motion proceeds relative to place, time or cause. God’s process pursuant to God’s will is widely misunderstood because most human beings do not understand that their faith is of little or no consequence to God. God’s faith in “seven thousand” human beings pursuant to God’s will is the faith that matters.   

English “faith” in Romans 3:30 and Romans 3:31 “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law” were translated from Greek noun 4102 pistis from Greek verb 3982 peitho subjectively meaning to persuade and objectively meaning to be persuaded. Greek verb 3982 peitho was translated into English “persuaded” in Matthew 27:20 “But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus”. The “chief priests” and church “elders” were the grammatical subjects who “persuaded” their grammatical objects “the multitude” to “destroy Jesus”. The bible makes it clear that grammatical subjects other than God persuade their grammatical objects to believe and have faith in things contrary to God’s spiritual truth. Human being’s faith in God is subsequently of little or no consequence to God. God said: “I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal” “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace” “Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded”. English “the rest” includes “Israel” and “the rest” is every human being other than God’s “seven thousand” “election”.

English “establish” in Romans 3:31 was translated from Greek verb 2476 histemi subjectively meaning to establish and cause God’s “seven thousand” “election” to stand firm and immovable as the foundation stones of God’s kingdom of heaven. Greek verb 2476 histemi objectively means to be established and caused to stand firm and immovable as one of the foundation stones of God’s kingdom of heaven.

English “law” is God’s spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law. I can help you understand the difference between God’s spiritual law and God’s flesh law. I can help you understand God’s will and God’s process pursuant to God’s will. Never pay a religion or a human being behind a pulpit to bring you to God. They can’t. God casts his word unto the earth. Human beings who change their flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual truth will God give more truth.  “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath” and “Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have”. Both are in the context of “the seed sower”. God is the sower. “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God”. God said “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon” “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD” “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” “For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater” “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it”. A flesh scribe inexplicably added the English words in the thing. Isaiah 55:11’s Hebrew words כֵּן יִֽהְיֶה דְבָרִי אֲשֶׁר יֵצֵא מִפִּי לֹֽא־יָשׁוּב אֵלַי רֵיקָם כִּי אִם־עָשָׂה אֶת־אֲשֶׁר חָפַצְתִּי וְהִצְלִיחַ אֲשֶׁר שְׁלַחְתִּֽיו contain nothing correlating to English in the thing. Human beings who change God’s spiritual truth in deference to the flesh thoughts and feelings of a scribe or religion or themselves “from him shall be taken away even that he hath”. Self professed born again human beings want to use the flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law to judge others so they will indignantly use “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled” to defend their own judgment, not understanding who performs the action of either Greek adverb 509 anothen or Greek verb 1096 ginomai translated into English “be fulfilled” in Matthew 5:18 and into “be done” in  “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” into “he be” in “It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household” into “should be married” in “Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God”. Greek verb 1096 ginomai subjectively means to cause one’s grammatical object to be what the grammatical subject wants them to be and objectively means to be caused to be what the grammatical subject wants them to be. You do not want a human being to perform the action of Greek verb 1096 ginomai which was documented by “he becometh” in “He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful”.

Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

English “establish” was translated from Greek verb 2476 histemi subjectively meaning to establish and cause a person to stand firm and immovable as one of the foundation stones of God’s kingdom of heaven. Greek verb 2476 histemi objectively means to be established and caused to stand firm and immovable as one of the foundation stones of God’s kingdom of heaven.

English “law” above is God’s spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law. I can help you understand the difference between God’s spiritual law and God’s flesh law. I can help you understand God’s will and God’s process pursuant to God’s will. Never pay a religion or a human being behind a pulpit to bring you to God. They can’t. God casts his word unto the earth. Human beings who change their flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual truth will God give more truth.  “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath” and “Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have”. Both are in the context of “the seed sower”. God is the sower. “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God”. God said “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon” “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD” “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” “For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater” “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it”. A flesh scribe inexplicably added the English words in the thing. Isaiah 55:11’s Hebrew words כֵּן יִֽהְיֶה דְבָרִי אֲשֶׁר יֵצֵא מִפִּי לֹֽא־יָשׁוּב אֵלַי רֵיקָם כִּי אִם־עָשָׂה אֶת־אֲשֶׁר חָפַצְתִּי וְהִצְלִיחַ אֲשֶׁר שְׁלַחְתִּֽיו contain nothing corresponding to English in the thing. Human beings who change God’s spiritual truth in deference to the flesh thoughts and feelings of a scribe or religion or themselves “from him shall be taken away even that he hath”. Self professed born again human beings want to use the flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract law to judge others so they will indignantly use “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled” to defend their judgment not understanding who should perform the action of either Greek adverb 509 anothen or Greek verb 1096 ginomai translated into English “be fulfilled” in Matthew 5:18 above and into “be done” in “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” into “he be” in “It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household” into “should be married” in “Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God” Greek verb 1096 ginomai subjectively means to cause one’s grammatical object to be what the grammatical subject wants them to be and objectively means to be caused to be what the grammatical subject wants them to be. You do not want a human being to perform the action of Greek verb 1096 ginomai which was documented by “he becometh” in “He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful”.

We still need to reconcile English “longsuffering” from way back in Romans 3:1 post God Identifies God’s Covenant of Promise as God’s Spirit “What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:” “And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory” “Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles” “As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved” “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” “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”. “And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice” “As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out 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” “Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be” “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ”. The promise God made to Abraham has nothing to do with Abraham’s flesh descendents. Abraham always knew the promise of the covenant was always God’s Spirit and always applied to the recipients of the promise of God’s Spirit.  

English “remnant” in Romans 9:27 above was translated from Greek noun 2640 hupoleimma which is the noun form of Greek verb 2641 kataleipo which was translated into English “have reserved” in Romans 11:4-5 “But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal” “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace”. Romans 9:22 English “longsuffering” was translated from Greek feminine noun 3115 makrothumia from a compound of Greek adjective 3117 makros and Greek masculine noun 2372 thumos. Greek adjective 3117 makros describes God as far from Greek masculine noun 2372 thumos which was 15 times translated into English “wrath”. English “wrath” in the spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law has also been translated from Greek feminine noun 3709 orge being emotion which is intrinsic in flesh human beings but absent in God. Greek masculine noun 2372 thumos is from Greek verb 2380 thuo in this context subjectively means to [emotionally rather than literally] immolate and objectively means to be [emotionally rather than literally] sacrificed to hell. The literal definition of English logic is from Greek masculine noun 3056 logos which was translated into English “Word” in “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. The definition of English logic is: rational thought rather than thoughts that are influenced by emotion. God’s thoughts and ways are devoid of emotion. Human thoughts and feelings are intrinsically emotion. God said: “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts”. The apostle Paul said: “For I know that in me that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing”. The bible phrase “wrath of God” appears in the bible 10 times. Each and every time the English word “of” was added by a flesh translator. There is neither any Hebrew nor any Greek word corresponding to English “of” in any of those ten verses between English words “wrath” and “God”. Both Greek masculine noun 2372 thumos and Greek feminine noun 3709 orge and subsequently English noun “wrath” are byproducts of “But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God”. There is a judgment day at the end of the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” and there is a judgment day during this earth age in which every human being receives either “revelation” or “wrath”. God casts his word unto the earth as documented in previous posts. Those human beings who change their flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual truth are those God said: “I have reserved to myself” receive “the revelation of Jesus Christ” noted in Revelation 1:1 1Peter 1:13 and Galatians 1:12. Everyone who changes God’s spiritual truth in deference to the flesh thoughts and feelings of scribes, ministers, religions or themselves God leaves to their own flesh thoughts and feelings which are intrinsically wrath/orge /thumos. Precisely “seven thousand” receive “the revelation of Jesus Christ”. Approximately 15 billion God leaves to their own flesh thoughts and feelings which are intrinsically wrath/orge /thumos. God’s word is designed to divide human beings as documented in Hebrews 4:12. Jesus came to divide us as documented in Luke 12:51. We human beings must de-testify every flesh being we have ever known including our own soul also just to be a learner as Jesus documented in Luke 12:46. You do not need to study every word in every verse of the bible to know Jesus did not say the word “hate” which was mistranslated from Greek verb 3404 miseo meaning to detest.  The modern definition of English detest is hate but the etymology of English detest is from Latin detestari literally meaning to de-testify. To begin God’s process of being God’s learner/disciple a human being must de-testify every flesh human being they have ever known or will ever know including their own soul. Does that sound to you like a gift? That sounds to me much more like a spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law. Billions of human beings ignore the English word “if” from Hebrew particle H518 ‘im and Greek conjunction 1487 ei  appearing in the bible 1,595 times. Only God’s “seven thousand” “election” understand and meet God’s “if” criteria pursuant to God’s promise of God’s Spirit. English “grace” from Greek noun 5485 charis is in fact the conditional temporary bestowment of God’s spirit but flesh human beings mistranslated Greek noun 5485 charis into singular and plural tenses of English “gift”. English “gifts” in Romans 11:26-32 was mistranslated by flesh human beings from Greek noun 5486 charisma being the unconditional permanent endowment of God’s spirit.  No wonder 15 billion human beings have been confused and ignored God’s conditional “if”.   

Romans 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

English “shall justify” was translated from Greek verb 1344 dikaioo subjectively meaning to make right and objectively meaning to be made right. The world’s 4,351 religions can not perform the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaio. Only God can perform the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo and Greek verb 5048 teleioo.

English “by” in Romans 3:30 above was translated from Greek preposition 1537 ek denoting the origin from whence action or motion proceeds relative to place, time or cause. God’s process pursuant to God’s will is widely misunderstood because most human beings do not understand that their faith is of little or no consequence to God. God’s faith in “seven thousand” human beings pursuant to God’s will is all that counts.   

Romans 3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

English “the Gentiles” were translated from Greek noun 1484 ethnos synonymous with Hebrew noun H1471 gowy both being any and every nation other than Israel. Hebrew noun H1471 gowy appears in the bible 374 times as plural and singular “nation” and Greek noun 1484 ethnos was 64 times translated into plural and singular “nation”. God creates his own nation “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” chosen was translated from Greek adjective 1588  eklektos which was also translated 16 times into “elect”. Greek adjective 1588 eklektos is the adjective form describing Greek noun 589 ekloge  being God’s   “seven thousand” “election”. God creates his own church. “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels” “To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect” which is the location of the “thousand years” “Lord’s day”. English “perfect” in Hebrews 12:23 above was translated from Greek verb 5048 teleioo subjectively meaning to cause completion of transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to be entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways and objectively meaning to be caused to complete transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to be entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. Greek verb 5048 teleioo was also translated into “he hath perfected” in “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified” with “them that are sanctified” being translated from Greek verb 37 hagiazo subjectively meaning to endow with God’s Holy Spirit and objectively meaning to be endowed with God’s Holy Spirit. Millions proclaim themselves born again. Only God’s “seven thousand” “election” are endowed with God’s Holy Spirit. God creates his own “leaves” in the tree of life. “In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations” during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day”.

Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

English “is justified by” was translated from Greek verb 1344 dikaioo subjectively meaning to make right and objectively meaning to be made right. If you are the grammatical object of any grammatical subject other than God, you cannot be made right by God and can not be born from above. Human beings who perceive themselves born again divide and preclude themselves from God’s process pursuant to God’s will.

Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

English “It is excluded” was translated from Greek verb 1576 ekkleio from a compound of Greek preposition 1537 ek denoting the origin from whence action or motion proceeds relative to place, time, or cause and Greek 2808 kleio subjectively meaning to shut and objectively meaning to be shut out best exemplified negatively by “ye shut up” in “But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in” and best exemplified positively by “shutteth” in   “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth”.

English “law” in Romans 3:27 above and throughout the bible were correctly translated from Greek masculine noun 3551 nomos from nemo meaning to feed. God and the Israelites made a flesh Old Testament/covenant/contact/law. God made a spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law between God and God’s   “seven thousand” “election” and the “law of faith” in Romans 3:27 above is predicated upon God’s faith in “seven thousand” “election” pursuant to God’s will. There is flesh life, death and law. There is spiritual life, death and law. God’s  “seven thousand” “election” are dead to the former and “the rest” are dead to the latter fully documented in previous posts. “But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection” “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years”. God’s “seven thousand” “election” “shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years”.

English “By” and “by” in Romans 3:27 above were translated from Greek preposition 1223 dia meaning through as the channel of an act. God controls God’s process pursuant to God’s will.
