TSK · Romans 11:30

even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.

Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.

You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;

who in time past were no people, but now are God's people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
