G1063–γάρ–gar

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentile nations because of you, as Holy Writ declares.

γὰρ gar “For”

Circumcision does indeed profit, if you obey the Law; but if you are a Law-breaker, the fact that you have been circumcised counts for nothing.

γὰρ gar “for”

For the true Jew is not the man who is simply a Jew outwardly, and true circumcision is not that which is outward and bodily.

γὰρ gar “for”

The privilege is great from every point of view. First of all, because the Jews were entrusted with God's truth.

γὰρ gar “for”

For what if some Jews have proved unfaithful? Shall their faithlessness render God's faithfulness worthless?

γὰρ gar “for”

What then? Are we Jews more highly estimated than they? Not in the least; for we have already charged all Jews and Gentiles alike with being in thraldom to sin.

γὰρ gar “for”

For on the ground of obedience to Law no man living will be declared righteous before Him. Law simply brings a sure knowledge of sin.

γὰρ gar “for”

a righteousness coming from God, which depends on faith in Jesus Christ and extends to all who believe. No distinction is made;

γάρ gar “for”

for all alike have sinned, and all consciously come short of the glory of God,

γὰρ gar “for”

For we maintain that it is as the result of faith that a man is held to be righteous, apart from actions done in obedience to Law.

γὰρ gar “therefore”

For if he was held to be righteous on the ground of his actions, he has something to boast of; but not in the presence of God.

γὰρ gar “for”

For what says the Scripture? "And Abraham believed God, and this was placed to his credit as righteousness."

γὰρ gar “for”

This declaration of blessedness, then, does it come simply to the circumcised, or to the uncircumcised as well? For Abraham's faith--so we affirm--was placed to his credit as righteousness.

γάρ gar “for”

Again, the promise that he should inherit the world did not come to Abraham or his posterity conditioned by Law, but by faith-righteousness.

γὰρ gar “for”

For if it is the righteous through Law who are heirs, then faith is useless and the promise counts for nothing.

γὰρ gar “for”

For the Law inflicts punishment; but where no Law exists, there can be no violation of Law.

γὰρ gar “For”

For already, while we were still helpless, Christ at the right moment died for the ungodly.

γὰρ gar “for”

Why, it is scarcely conceivable that any one would die for a simply just man, although for a good and lovable man perhaps some one, here and there, will have the courage even to lay down his life.

γὰρ gar “indeed”γὰρ gar “though”

For if while we were hostile to God we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, it is still more certain that now that we are reconciled, we shall obtain salvation through Christ's life.

γὰρ gar “for”

For prior to the Law sin was already in the world; only it is not entered in the account against us when no Law exists.

γὰρ gar “for”

But God's free gift immeasurably outweighs the transgression. For if through the transgression of the one individual the mass of mankind have died, infinitely greater is the generosity with which God's grace, and the gift given in His grace which found

γὰρ gar “for”

And it is not with the gift as it was with the results of one individual's sin; for the judgement which one individual provoked resulted in condemnation, whereas the free gift after a multitude of transgressions results in acquittal.

γὰρ gar “for”

For if, through the transgression of the one individual, Death made use of the one individual to seize the sovereignty, all the more shall those who receive God's overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in Life through the one individu

γὰρ gar “for”

For as through the disobedience of the one individual the mass of mankind were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the mass of mankind will be constituted righteous.

γὰρ gar “for”

For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.
