G2316–θεός–theos

For you have heard of my early career in Judaism--how I furiously persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of it;

θεοῦ theou “of God”

But when He who set me apart even from my birth, and called me by His grace,

θεὸς theos “God”

In making these assertions I am speaking the truth, as in the sight of God.

θεοῦ theou “God”

And they gave glory to God on my account.

θεόν. theon “God.”

From those leaders I gained nothing new. Whether they were men of importance or not, matters nothing to me--God recognizes no external distinctions. To me, at any rate, the leaders imparted nothing new.

θεὸς theos “God”

for it is by the Law that I have died to the Law, in order that I may live to God.

θεῷ theō “to God”

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me; and the life which I now live in the body I live through faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up to death on my behalf.

θεοῦ theou “of God”

I do not nullify the grace of God; for if acquittal from guilt is obtainable through the Law, then Christ has died in vain."

θεοῦ· theou “of God;”

even as Abraham believed God, and his faith was placed to his account as righteousness?

θεῷ theō “in God”

And the Scripture, foreseeing that in consequence of faith God would declare the nations to be free from guilt, sent beforehand the Good News to Abraham, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed."

θεός, theos “God,”

It is evident, too, that no one can find acceptance with God simply by obeying the Law, because "the righteous shall live by faith,"

θεῷ theō “God”

I mean that the Covenant which God had already formally made is not abrogated by the Law which was given four hundred and thirty years later--so as to annul the promise.

θεοῦ theou “God”

For if the inheritance comes through obedience to Law, it no longer comes because of a promise. But, as a matter of fact, God has granted it to Abraham in fulfilment of a promise.

θεός. theos “God.”

But there cannot be a mediator where only one individual is concerned.

θεὸς theos “God”

God, however, is only one. Is the Law then opposed to the promises of God? No, indeed; for if a Law had been given which could have conferred Life, righteousness would certainly have come by the Law.

θεοῦ; theou “of God?”

You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus;

θεοῦ theou “of God”

But, when the time was fully come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born subject to Law,

θεὸς theos “God”

And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of His Son to enter your hearts and cry "Abba! our Father!"

θεὸς theos “God”

Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir also through God's own act.

θεοῦ theou “God”

But at one time, you Gentiles, having no knowledge of God, were slaves to gods which in reality do not exist.

θεὸν theon “God”θεοῖς· theois “gods;”

Now, however, having come to know God--or rather to be known by Him--how is it you are again turning back to weak and worthless rudimentary notions to which you are once more willing to be enslaved?

θεόν, theon “God,”θεοῦ, theou “God,”

and yet the bodily infirmity which was such a trial to you, you did not regard with contempt or loathing, but you received me as if I had been an angel of God or Christ Jesus Himself!

θεοῦ theou “of God”

hard drinking, riotous feasting, and the like. And as to these I forewarn you, as I have already forewarned you, that those who are guilty of such things will have no share in the Kingdom of God.

θεοῦ theou “God’s”

Do not deceive yourselves. God is not to be scoffed at. For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

θεὸς theos “God”

And all who shall regulate their lives by this principle--may peace and mercy be given to them--and to the true Israel of God.

θεοῦ. theou “of God.”
