Romans 13: 8 Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. This verse has often been used to teach people about financial debt. One substantial reading of this verse would say that we are not supposed to borrow money. That seems to be a […]
Romans 10: 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” In the New American Standard Bible, from which I quote verses, small caps, as you see in today’s verse, denote a quote taken from scripture.
