G5101–τίς–tis

Who is there to condemn them? Christ Jesus died, or rather has risen to life again. He is also at the right hand of God, and is interceding for us.

τίς tis “Who [is]”

Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall affliction or distress, persecution or hunger, nakedness or danger or the sword?

Τίς Tis “Who”

What then are we to infer? That there is injustice in God?

Τί Ti “What”

"Why then does God still find fault?" you will ask; "for who is resisting His will?"

τί ti “Why”τίς tis “who”

Nay, but who are you, a mere man, that you should cavil against GOD? Shall the thing moulded say to him who moulded it, "Why have you made me thus?"

τίς tis “who”τί ti “Why”

To what conclusion does this bring us? Why, that the Gentiles, who were not in pursuit of righteousness, have overtaken it--a righteousness, however, which arises from faith;

Τί Ti “What”

And why? Because they were pursuing a righteousness which should arise not from faith, but from what they regarded as merit. They stuck their foot against the stone which lay in their way;

τί; ti “why?”

But the righteousness which is based on faith speaks in a different tone. "Say not in your heart," it declares, "`Who shall ascend to Heaven?'" --that is, to bring Christ down;

τίς tis “Who”

"nor `Who shall go down into the abyss?'" --that is, to bring Christ up again from the grave.

τίς tis “Who”

But what does it say? "The Message is close to you, in your mouth and in your heart;" that is, the Message which we are publishing about the faith--

τί ti “what”

But, some will say, they have not all hearkened to the Good News. No, for Isaiah asks, "Lord, who has believed the Message they have heard from us?"

τίς tis “who”

God has not cast off His People whom He knew beforehand. Or are you ignorant of what Scripture says in speaking of Elijah--how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,

τί ti “what”

But what did God say to him in reply? "I have reserved for Myself 7,000 men who have never bent the knee to Baal."

τί ti “what [was]”

How then does the matter stand? It stands thus. That which Israel are in earnest pursuit of, they have not obtained; but God's chosen servants have obtained it, and the rest have become hardened.

τί ti “What”

For if their having been cast aside has carried with it the reconciliation of the world, what will their being accepted again be but Life out of death?

τίς tis “what [will be]”

"Who has ever known the mind of the Lord, or shared His counsels?"

τίς tis “Who”τίς tis “who”

"Who has first given God anything, so as to receive payment in return?"

τίς tis “who”

And do not follow the customs of the present age, but be transformed by the entire renewal of your minds, so that you may learn by experience what God's will is--that will which is good and beautiful and perfect.

τί ti “what [is]”

Who are you that you should find fault with the servant of another? Whether he stands or falls is a matter which concerns his own master. But stand he will; for the Master can give him power to stand.

τίς tis “who”

But you, why do you find fault with your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged;

τί ti “why”τί ti “why”

For, among human beings, who knows a man's inner thoughts except the man's own spirit within him? In the same way, also, only God's Spirit is acquainted with God's inner thoughts.

τίς tis “Who”

For who has penetrated the mind of the Lord, and will instruct Him? But *we* have the mind of Christ.

τίς tis “Who”

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are just God's servants, through whose efforts, and as the Lord granted power to each, you accepted the faith.

Τί Ti “who”τί ti “who”

Why, who gives you your superiority, my brother? Or what have you that you did not receive? And if you really did receive it, why boast as if this were not so?

τίς tis “Who”τί ti “What”τί ti “why”

Which shall it be? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in a loving and tender spirit?

Τί Ti “What”
