PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Romeine 1:18-25)

HULLE GEE VOOR DAT HULLE VERSTANDIG IS, MAAR HULLE IS DWAAS:

18. “God openbaar vanuit die hemel Sy toorn oor al die goddeloosheid en ongeregtigheid van die mense wat die waarheid deur hulle ongeregtigheid probeer onderdruk.

19. “Wat ‘n mens van God kan weet, was immers binne hulle bereik, want God het dit binne hulle bereik gebring.

20. “Van die skepping van die wêreld af, kan ‘n mens uit die werke van God duidelik aflei dat Sy krag ewigdurend is, en dat Hy waarlik God is, hoewel dit dinge is wat ‘n mens nie met die oog kan sien nie. Vir hierdie mense is daar dus geen verontskuldiging nie,

21. “omdat, al weet hulle van God, hulle Hom nie as God eer en dank nie. Met hulle redenasies bereik hulle niks nie, en deur hulle gebrek aan insig, bly hulle in die duister.

22. “Hulle gee voor dat hulle verstandig is, maar hulle is dwaas.

23. “In die plek van die heerlikheid van die onverganklike God, stel hulle beelde wat lyk soos ‘n onverganklike mens, of soos voëls, of diere of slange.

24. “Daarom gee God hulle aan die drange van hulle hart oor, en aan sedelike onreinheid, sodat hulle, hulle liggame onder mekaar onteer.

25. “Dit is hulle wat die waarheid van God verruil vir die leuen. Hulle dien en vereer die skepsel in plaas van die Skepper, aan wie die lof toekom, vir ewig. Amen.”

PEARL FOR EACH DAY:

(Romans 1:18-25)

CLAIMING TO BE WISE, THEY BECAME FOOLS:

18. “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the thuth.

19. “For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God Has shown it to them.

20. “For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal Power and Divine Nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

21. “For although they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

22. “Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

23. “and exchanged the Glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

24. “Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies, among themselves,

25. “because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen.”

(Ek vertrou die Heilige Gees van God om my van die korrekte Skriflesing gedeelte te voorsien elke dag, volgens u behoeftes en verwagtinge. Aan Hom kom toe alle eer, heerlikheid, krag, mag, majesteit, lofprysing, aanbidding, en danksegging, van nou af tot in ewigheid. 

/

I am trusting the Holy Spirit of God to reveal the correct portion of Scripture to me every day, according to your needs and expectations. 

To Him be all glory, honour, power, might, majesty, praise, worship and thanksgiving, from now and forever more.)

(Romeine 1:11-17)

DIE REGVERDIGE SAL DEUR DIE GELOOF LEWE:

11. “Ek sien baie daarna uit om julle te besoek, want ek wil ‘n geestelike gawe aan julle oordra om julle te versterk.

12. “Ek bedoel dat, as ek by julle is, ons deur mekaar se geloof bemoedig kan word, ek deur julle s’n en julle deur myne.

13. “Broers, ek wil hê julle moet weet dat, hoewel ek tot nog toe verhinder is, ek my dikwels voorgeneem het, om julle te besoek. En om net soos by die ander heiden-nasies, mense vir Christus te wen.

14. “Ek staan onder ‘n verpligting teenoor Grieke en nie-Grieke, teenoor ontwikkeldes en ongeleerdes,

15. “en vandaar my begeerte om ook aan julle in Rome die evangelie te verkondig.

16. “Ek skaam my nie oor die evangelie nie, want dit is die Krag van God tot redding vir elkeen wat glo, in die eerste plek die Jood, maar ook die nie-Jood.

17. In die evangelie kom daar juis tot openbaring, dat God mense van hulle sonde vryspreek, enkel en alleenlik omdat hulle glo. Dit is soos daar geskrywe staan: ‘+Elkeen wat deur God vrygespreek is omdat hy glo, sal lewe.’+”

(Romans 1:11-17)

THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE BY FAITH:

11. “For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you –

12. “that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.

13. “I do not want you to be unaware brothers, that I have often intended to come to you – but thus far have been prevented – in order that I may reap some harvest among you, as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.

14. “I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

15. “So I am eager to preach the Gospel to you also, who are in Rome.

16. “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the Power of God for salvation, to everyone who believes, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17. “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed, from faith to faith, as it is written: ‘+The righteous shall live by faith.’+”
