The Word for Wednesday, 8 May 2024
Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
Romans 6:16 (ESV)
Although Jesus was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered.
Hebrews 5:8 (ESV)
| 15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! |
| 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? |
| 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, |
| 7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. |
| 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. |
| 9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, |
