Hošea 12

Study

   

1 Opkolio me lažju Efrajim i prijevarom Izraelov dom. A i Juda još je nestalan Bogu, Svecu vjernome.

2 Efrajim pase vjetar, za vjetrom istočnim trči cio dan, sve više je laži njegovih i nasilja. Savez sklapaju s Asirijom, ulje nose u Egipat.

3 S Izraelom ima Jahve parnicu, kaznit će Jakova prema postupcima, vratit će mu po djelima njegovim.

4 Već u krilu materinu brata je potisnuo, u snazi muževnoj s Bogom se borio.

5 S Anđelom se borio i nadvladao ga, plakao je i zaklinjao ga. Našao ga je u Betelu i ondje mu je govorio.

6 Da, Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, Jahve je ime njegovo.

7 Ti se dakle Bogu svojem vrati, čuvaj ljubav i pravednost i u Boga se svoga uzdaj svagda!

8 U ruci je Kanaanu kriva tezulja, on voli zakidati.

9 I reče Efrajim: "Samo sam se obogatio, blago sam nagomilao." Ali ništa mu od sveg dobitka neće ostati, jer se ogriješio bezakonjima.

10 Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, sve od zemlje egipatske, još ću ti dati da stanuješ pod šatorima kao u dane Sastanka;

11 govorit ću prorocima, umnožit ću viđenja i po prorocima prispodobom učiti.

12 Gilead je puko bezakonje, ispraznost sama; u Gilgali žrtvuju bikove; zato će im oltari biti k'o hrpe kamenja u brazdama poljskim.

13 Jakov pobježe u kraj aramski, za ženu služaše Izrael, za ženu jednu stada čuvaše.

14 Al' po Proroku izvede Jahve Izraela iz Egipta, i po Proroku on ga je čuvao.

15 Pregorko ga Efrajim uvrijedi: stoga će krv njegovu na nj svaliti, platit će mu Gospod njegov za pogrde.

/ 101  
  

4. 2. The Son of God (Romans 1:3-4).

Called after Jesus Christ, Christians (Romans 1:6) through the faith of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:22).

Faith in Christ. Through Jesus Christ we have peace toward God, and to God we have access by faith into this grace, and we glory in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2).

By Jesus Christ were we reconciled to God (Romans 5:10,11).

As by one man sin entered into the world, so by the justice of one are we justified (Romans 5:12, 13, 15, 18-19).

There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, in order that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit (Romans 8:1-4). Christ is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34).

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, hunger, death, angels, principalities, height, depth, etc. (Romans 8:35-39)?

From the fathers Christ is according to the flesh, who is over all; God blessed forever. Amen (Romans 9:5).

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved (Romans 10:13).

We are one body in Christ; all are members having different gifts according to grace (Romans 12:5-6). The gifts which belong to different members are enumerated in a long series (verses 6, 13).

Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).

Whether we live, we live in the Lord; whether we die, we die in the Lord; therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died and rose and lived again that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living (Romans 14:8-9).

It is written, I live, saith the Lord, for every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God (Romans 14:11). Isaiah saith, there shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to rule over the nations; in Him shall the nations hope (Romans 15:12).

The Gospel of Christ (Romans 15:19-21).

Chosen and tried in the Lord, in Christ: to work and labor in the Lord (Romans 16:8-13).
