We think we can work for righteousness but it’s really a gift from God because He is the only one that is righteous. • Literary Context.

not to be afraid and to become a fisher of men. Jesus did not choose the most righteous men to be His disciples‚ in Luke 5:32 Jesus said‚ "I have not come to call the righteous‚ but sinners to repentance" which is seen in those He healed and those who followed Him (NIV). Jesus shows His humility and character in helping those considered the social outcasts and sinners.

that he not be allowed to enjoy the dainties of wicked men. Essentially‚ he’s further more asking the Lord to make sure that he stays righteous and true. This is where I began feeling like whatever was lurking on the horizon for this person might be something he thinks is going to greatly test his beliefs and values.

describes Job as “a man truly righteous” with “no pious facade.” Since Romans 3:23 says “all have sinned‚” what could the wisdom teachers have meant by designating Job as a righteous man? When Scripture states as it does in Romans 3:23‚ “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”; Romans 3:9-10‚ “What then? Are we better than they?

by Eugene O’neill Desire Under the Elms is a play written by Eugene O’neill that I very much enjoyed. It is a play full of lust‚ desire‚ and vengeance. At the beginning of the play we are introduced to Eben and his two older brothers‚ Peter and Simeon. Throughout the first scene it seemed to me as if Eben was the older brother because even though he has a young boyish quality to him he seemed to be in control of his brothers in a way.

Companion to Ethics.” When Abraham was talking to god about destroying the village when he said. “Wilt thou indeed destroy the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt thou then destroys the place and spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it?
