TSK · Romans 11:30

so they too have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy.

Remaining Unmarried With regard to the question about people who have never married, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my opinion as one shown mercy by the Lord to be trustworthy.

New Life Individually And although you were dead in your offenses and sins,

So then you are no longer foreigners and noncitizens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,

I put this charge before you, Timothy my child, in keeping with the prophecies once spoken about you, in order that with such encouragement you may fight the good fight.

You once were not a people, but now you are God’s people. You were shown no mercy, but now you have received mercy.
