highlighted Romans 7:7-8 NASB
aWhat shall we say then? Is the Law sin? bMay it never be! On the contrary, cI would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, "dYOU SHALL NOT COVET."But sin, ataking opportunity bthrough the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for capart from the Law sin is dead.

highlighted Romans 7:9-13 NASB
and this commandment, which was ato result in life, proved to result in death for me;for sin, ataking an opportunity bthrough the commandment, cdeceived me and through it killed me.aSo then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? aMay it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died;

"When those hired first came, they thought that they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius."When they received it, they grumbled at the landowner,"For athe kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his bvineyard."When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard."And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the market place;and to those he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' And so they went."Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did the same thing."And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing around; and he said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day long?'"They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too.'"When aevening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his bforeman, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last group to the first.'"When those hired about the eleventh hour came, each one received a denarius.

highlighted 2 Peter 3:1-7 NASB
This is now, abeloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am bstirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder,that you should aremember the words spoken beforehand by bthe holy prophets and cthe commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.aKnow this first of all, that bin the last days cmockers will come with their mocking, dfollowing after their own lusts,and saying, "aWhere is the promise of His bcoming? For ever since the fathers cfell asleep, all continues just as it was dfrom the beginning of creation."For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that aby the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was bformed out of water and by water,through which athe world at that time was bdestroyed, being flooded with water.But by His word athe present heavens and earth are being reserved for bfire, kept for cthe day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

But athe day of the Lord bwill come like a thief, in which cthe heavens dwill pass away with a roar and the eelements will be destroyed with intense heat, and fthe earth and its works will be burned up.Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,alooking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which bthe heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the celements will melt with intense heat!But according to His apromise we are looking for bnew heavens and a new earth, cin which righteousness dwells.aTherefore, bbeloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be cfound by Him in peace, dspotless and blameless,and regard the apatience of our Lord as salvation; just as also bour beloved brother Paul, caccording to the wisdom given him, wrote to you,as also in all his letters, speaking in them of athese things, bin which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and cunstable distort, as they do also dthe rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.You therefore, abeloved, knowing this beforehand, bbe on your guard so that you are not carried away by cthe error of dunprincipled men and efall from your own steadfastness,but grow in the grace and aknowledge of our bLord and Savior Jesus Christ. cTo Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
