Notes that are not verse specific
16:1 In the midst means, according to Strong, in the centre or in the middle. The ark was placed at the centre of the place of worship. The place where God dwelt was the focal point. The positioning of the ark wasn't haphazard, but very precise.
Pitched means to stretch or spread out. Whenever I pitch a tent, it's full of creases and flaps around in the wind. Here the suggestion is that it was perfectly pitched, with no creases.

1. So they brought <935>(8686) the ark <727> of God <430>, and set <3322>(8686) it in the midst <8432> of the tent <168> that David <1732> had pitched <5186>(8804) for it: and they offered <7126>(8686) burnt sacrifices <5930> and peace offerings <8002> before <6440> God <430>.
2. And when David <1732> had made an end <3615>(8762) of offering <5927>(8687) the burnt offerings <5930> and the peace offerings <8002>, he blessed <1288>(8762) the people <5971> in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>.
3. And he dealt <2505>(8762) to every one <376> of Israel <3478>, both man <376> and woman <802>, to every one <376> a loaf <3603> of bread <3899>, and a good piece of flesh <829>, and a flagon <809> of wine.

5. Asaph <623> the chief <7218>, and next <4932> to him Zechariah <2148>, Jeiel <3273>, and Shemiramoth <8070>, and Jehiel <3171>, and Mattithiah <4993>, and Eliab <446>, and Benaiah <1141>, and Obededom <5654>: and Jeiel <3273> with psalteries <5035> <3627> and with harps <3658>; but Asaph <623> made a sound <8085>(8688) with cymbals <4700>;
6. Benaiah <1141> also and Jahaziel <3166> the priests <3548> with trumpets <2689> continually <8548> before <6440> the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> of God <430>.
7. Then on that day <3117> David <1732> delivered <5414>(8804) first <7218> this psalm to thank <3034>(8687) the LORD <3068> into the hand <3027> of Asaph <623> and his brethren <251>.

11. Seek <1875>(8798) the LORD <3068> and his strength <5797>, seek <1245>(8761) his face <6440> continually <8548>.
12. Remember <2142>(8798) his marvellous <6381>(8737) works that he hath done <6213>(8804), his wonders <4159>, and the judgments <4941> of his mouth <6310>;
13. O ye seed <2233> of Israel <3478> his servant <5650>, ye children <1121> of Jacob <3290>, his chosen ones <972>.
14. He is the LORD <3068> our God <430>; his judgments <4941> are in all the earth <776>.
15. Be ye mindful <2142>(8798) always <5769> of his covenant <1285>; the word <1697> which he commanded <6680>(8765) to a thousand <505> generations <1755>;
16. Even of the covenant which he made <3772>(8804) with Abraham <85>, and of his oath <7621> unto Isaac <3327>;
17. And hath confirmed <5975>(8686) the same to Jacob <3290> for a law <2706>, and to Israel <3478> for an everlasting <5769> covenant <1285>,
18. Saying <559>(8800), Unto thee will I give <5414>(8799) the land <776> of Canaan <3667>, the lot <2256> of your inheritance <5159>;
19. When ye were but few <4557> <4962>, even a few <4592>, and strangers <1481>(8802) in it.
20. And when they went <1980>(8691) from nation <1471> to nation <1471>, and from one kingdom <4467> to another <312> people <5971>;
21. He suffered <3240>(8689) no man <376> to do them wrong <6231>(8800): yea, he reproved <3198>(8686) kings <4428> for their sakes,
22. Saying, Touch <5060>(8799) not mine anointed <4899>, and do my prophets <5030> no harm <7489>(8686).
23. Sing <7891>(8798) unto the LORD <3068>, all the earth <776>; shew forth <1319>(8761) from day <3117> to day <3117> his salvation <3444>.
24. Declare <5608>(8761) his glory <3519> among the heathen <1471>; his marvellous works <6381>(8737) among all nations <5971>.
25. For great <1419> is the LORD <3068>, and greatly <3966> to be praised <1984>(8794): he also is to be feared <3372>(8737) above all gods <430>.
26. For all the gods <430> of the people <5971> are idols <457>: but the LORD <3068> made <6213>(8804) the heavens <8064>.
27. Glory <1935> and honour <1926> are in his presence <6440>; strength <5797> and gladness <2304> are in his place <4725>.
28. Give <3051>(8798) unto the LORD <3068>, ye kindreds <4940> of the people <5971>, give <3051>(8798) unto the LORD <3068> glory <3519> and strength <5797>.
29. Give <3051>(8798) unto the LORD <3068> the glory <3519> due unto his name <8034>: bring <5375>(8798) an offering <4503>, and come <935>(8798) before <6440> him: worship <7812>(8690) the LORD <3068> in the beauty <1927> of holiness <6944>.
30. Fear <2342>(8798) before <6440> him, all the earth <776>: the world <8398> also shall be stable <3559>(8735), that it be not moved <4131>(8735).
31. Let the heavens <8064> be glad <8055>(8799), and let the earth <776> rejoice <1523>(8799): and let men say <559>(8799) among the nations <1471>, The LORD <3068> reigneth <4427>(8804).
32. Let the sea <3220> roar <7481>(8799), and the fulness <4393> thereof: let the fields <7704> rejoice <5970>(8799), and all that is therein.
33. Then shall the trees <6086> of the wood <3293> sing out <7442>(8762) at the presence <6440> of the LORD <3068>, because he cometh <935>(8804) to judge <8199>(8800) the earth <776>.
34. O give thanks <3034>(8685) unto the LORD <3068>; for he is good <2896>; for his mercy <2617> endureth for ever <5769>.
35. And say <559>(8798) ye, Save <3467>(8685) us, O God <430> of our salvation <3468>, and gather us together <6908>(8761), and deliver <5337>(8685) us from the heathen <1471>, that we may give thanks <3034>(8687) to thy holy <6944> name <8034>, and glory <7623>(8692) in thy praise <8416>.
36. Blessed <1288>(8803) be the LORD <3068> God <430> of Israel <3478> for ever <5769> and ever <5769>. And all the people <5971> said <559>(8799), Amen <543>, and praised <1984>(8763) the LORD <3068>.
37. So he left <5800>(8799) there before <6440> the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068> Asaph <623> and his brethren <251>, to minister <8334>(8763) before <6440> the ark <727> continually <8548>, as every day's <3117> work <1697> required <3117>:
38. And Obededom <5654> with their brethren <251>, threescore <8346> and eight <8083>; Obededom <5654> also the son <1121> of Jeduthun <3038> and Hosah <2621> to be porters <7778>:
39. And Zadok <6659> the priest <3548>, and his brethren <251> the priests <3548>, before <6440> the tabernacle <4908> of the LORD <3068> in the high place <1116> that was at Gibeon <1391>,
40. To offer <5927>(8687) burnt offerings <5930> unto the LORD <3068> upon the altar <4196> of the burnt offering <5930> continually <8548> morning <1242> and evening <6153>, and to do according to all that is written <3789>(8803) in the law <8451> of the LORD <3068>, which he commanded <6680>(8765) Israel <3478>;
41. And with them Heman <1968> and Jeduthun <3038>, and the rest <7605> that were chosen <1305>(8803), who were expressed <5344>(8738) by name <8034>, to give thanks <3034>(8687) to the LORD <3068>, because his mercy <2617> endureth for ever <5769>;
42. And with them Heman <1968> and Jeduthun <3038> with trumpets <2689> and cymbals <4700> for those that should make a sound <8085>(8688), and with musical <7892> instruments <3627> of God <430>. And the sons <1121> of Jeduthun <3038> were porters <8179>.
43. And all the people <5971> departed <3212>(8799) every man <376> to his house <1004>: and David <1732> returned <5437>(8735) to bless <1288>(8763) his house <1004>.
Notes that are not verse specific
When God speaks of Tyre, Sidon and Lebanon it is not as to another nation. This whole area had been given to the children of Israel in (Josh 12:1-6 and 13). The fact that Israel hadn't wholly taken this area is interesting, because they appear instead to have forged a partnership with the inhabitants. At the time of David and Solomon there was a great friendship between Israel and Hiram, King of Tyre (1Kin 5:1-12) in so much that Hiram (in effect) built the temple for Solomon, supplying the materials and chief craftsman (1Kin 5:6, 7:13-45). Hiram's name for Solomon is "my brother" (1Kin 9:13).
What is clear from 1Chron 5:23 and other passages is that Israel did dwell in this area, and so the distinction became increasingly blurred between the nations. Whereas at the time of Joshua, when this part of the inheritance had still not been captured, God specifically mentioned how He would drive the Sidonians out, giving a specific command "only divide it by lot to Israel as an inheritance, as I have commanded you" (Josh 13:4-6).

1. The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came again unto me, saying <559>(8800),
2. Son <1121> of man <120>, say <559>(8798) unto the prince <5057> of Tyrus <6865>, Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Because thine heart <3820> is lifted up <1361>(8804), and thou hast said <559>(8799), I am a God <410>, I sit <3427>(8804) in the seat <4186> of God <430>, in the midst <3820> of the seas <3220>; yet thou art a man <120>, and not God <410>, though thou set <5414>(8799) thine heart <3820> as the heart <3820> of God <430>:
3. Behold, thou art wiser <2450> than Daniel <1840>; there is no secret <5640>(8803) that they can hide <6004>(8804) from thee:
4. With thy wisdom <2451> and with thine understanding <8394> thou hast gotten <6213>(8804) thee riches <2428>, and hast gotten <6213>(8799) gold <2091> and silver <3701> into thy treasures <214>:
5. By thy great <7230> wisdom <2451> and by thy traffick <7404> hast thou increased <7235>(8689) thy riches <2428>, and thine heart <3824> is lifted up <1361>(8799) because of thy riches <2428>:
6. Therefore thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Because thou hast set <5414>(8800) thine heart <3820> as the heart <3824> of God <430>;
7. Behold, therefore I will bring <935>(8688) strangers <2114>(8801) upon thee, the terrible <6184> of the nations <1471>: and they shall draw <7324>(8689) their swords <2719> against the beauty <3308> of thy wisdom <2451>, and they shall defile <2490>(8765) thy brightness <3314>.
8. They shall bring thee down <3381>(8686) to the pit <7845>, and thou shalt die <4191>(8804) the deaths <4463> of them that are slain <2491> in the midst <3820> of the seas <3220>.
9. Wilt thou yet <559>(8800) say <559>(8799) before <6440> him that slayeth <2026>(8802) thee, I am God <430>? but thou shalt be a man <120>, and no God <410>, in the hand <3027> of him that slayeth <2490>(8764) thee.
10. Thou shalt die <4191>(8799) the deaths <4194> of the uncircumcised <6189> by the hand <3027> of strangers <2114>(8801): for I have spoken <1696>(8765) it, saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>.
11. Moreover the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came unto me, saying <559>(8800),
12. Son <1121> of man <120>, take up <5375>(8798) a lamentation <7015> upon the king <4428> of Tyrus <6865>, and say <559>(8804) unto him, Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Thou sealest up <2856>(8802) the sum <8508>, full <4392> of wisdom <2451>, and perfect <3632> in beauty <3308>.
13. Thou hast been in Eden <5731> the garden <1588> of God <430>; every precious <3368> stone <68> was thy covering <4540>, the sardius <124>, topaz <6357>, and the diamond <3095>, the beryl <8658>, the onyx <7718>, and the jasper <3471>, the sapphire <5601>, the emerald <5306>, and the carbuncle <1304>, and gold <2091>: the workmanship <4399> of thy tabrets <8596> and of thy pipes <5345> was prepared <3559>(8797) in thee in the day <3117> that thou wast created <1254>(8736).
14. Thou art the anointed <4473> cherub <3742> that covereth <5526>(8802); and I have set <5414>(8804) thee so: thou wast upon the holy <6944> mountain <2022> of God <430>; thou hast walked up and down <1980>(8694) in the midst <8432> of the stones <68> of fire <784>.
15. Thou wast perfect <8549> in thy ways <1870> from the day <3117> that thou wast created <1254>(8736), till iniquity <5766> was found <4672>(8738) in thee.
16. By the multitude <7230> of thy merchandise <7404> they have filled <4390>(8804) the midst <8432> of thee with violence <2555>, and thou hast sinned <2398>(8799): therefore I will cast thee as profane <2490>(8762) out of the mountain <2022> of God <430>: and I will destroy <6>(8762) thee, O covering <5526>(8802) cherub <3742>, from the midst <8432> of the stones <68> of fire <784>.
17. Thine heart <3820> was lifted up <1361>(8804) because of thy beauty <3308>, thou hast corrupted <7843>(8765) thy wisdom <2451> by reason of <5921> thy brightness <3314>: I will cast <7993>(8689) thee to the ground <776>, I will lay <5414>(8804) thee before <6440> kings <4428>, that they may behold <7200>(8800) thee.
18. Thou hast defiled <2490>(8765) thy sanctuaries <4720> by the multitude <7230> of thine iniquities <5771>, by the iniquity <5766> of thy traffick <7404>; therefore will I bring forth <3318>(8686) a fire <784> from the midst <8432> of thee, it shall devour <398>(8804) thee, and I will bring <5414>(8799) thee to ashes <665> upon the earth <776> in the sight <5869> of all them that behold <7200>(8802) thee.
19. All they that know <3045>(8802) thee among the people <5971> shall be astonished <8074>(8804) at thee: thou shalt be a terror <1091>, and never <369> shalt thou be any more <5704> <5769>.
20. Again the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came unto me, saying <559>(8800),
21. Son <1121> of man <120>, set <7760>(8798) thy face <6440> against Zidon <6721>, and prophesy <5012>(8734) against it,
22. And say <559>(8804), Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon <6721>; and I will be glorified <3513>(8738) in the midst <8432> of thee: and they shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>, when I shall have executed <6213>(8800) judgments <8201> in her, and shall be sanctified <6942>(8738) in her.
23. For I will send <7971>(8765) into her pestilence <1698>, and blood <1818> into her streets <2351>; and the wounded <2491> shall be judged <5307>(8768) in the midst <8432> of her by the sword <2719> upon her on every side <5439>; and they shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>.
24. And there shall be no more a pricking <3992>(8688) brier <5544> unto the house <1004> of Israel <3478>, nor any grieving <3510>(8688) thorn <6975> of all that are round about <5439> them, that despised <7590>(8801) them; and they shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the Lord <136> GOD <3069>.
25. Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; When I shall have gathered <6908>(8763) the house <1004> of Israel <3478> from the people <5971> among whom they are scattered <6327>(8738), and shall be sanctified <6942>(8738) in them in the sight <5869> of the heathen <1471>, then shall they dwell <3427>(8804) in their land <127> that I have given <5414>(8804) to my servant <5650> Jacob <3290>.
26. And they shall dwell <3427>(8804) safely <983> therein, and shall build <1129>(8804) houses <1004>, and plant <5193>(8804) vineyards <3754>; yea, they shall dwell <3427>(8804) with confidence <983>, when I have executed <6213>(8800) judgments <8201> upon all those that despise <7590>(8801) them round about <5439> them; and they shall know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068> their God <430>.
Notes that are not verse specific
1:14 When Paul speaks of what we posses now 'in Christ' as being 'the earnest of our inheritance' he is telling us that what we experience now in terms of fellowship is a foretaste of the kingdom. Do we think that we will mar our fellowship with petty bickering in the kingdom? If not then why do we allow such trivia to get in the way now?
2:7 'riches of His grace' will be the fulfilment of understanding (1:18) 'the riches of the glory' that we now posses.

7. Which <3739> is <2076>(5748) not <3756> another <243>; but there be <1526>(5748) some <5100> that <1508> trouble <5015>(5723) you <5209>, and <2532> would <2309>(5723) pervert <3344>(5658) the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>.
8. But <235> though <2532> <1437> we <2249>, or <2228> an angel <32> from <1537> heaven <3772>, preach any other gospel <2097>(5735) unto you <5213> than <3844> that which <3739> we have preached <2097>(5668) unto you <5213>, let him be <2077>(5749) accursed <331>.
9. As <5613> we said before <4280>(5758), so <2532> say I <3004>(5719) now <737> again <3825>, If any <1536> man preach <2097> <0> any other <3844> <0> gospel <2097>(5731) unto you <5209> than <3844> that <3739> ye have received <3880>(5627), let him be <2077>(5749) accursed <331>.
10. For <1063> do I <3982> <0> now <737> persuade <3982>(5719) men <444>, or <2228> God <2316>? or <2228> do I seek <2212>(5719) to please <700>(5721) men <444>? for <1063> if <1487> I <700> <0> yet <2089> pleased <700>(5707) men <444>, I should <302> not <3756> be <2252>(5713) the servant <1401> of Christ <5547>.
11. But <1161> I certify <1107>(5719) you <5213>, brethren <80>, that <3754> the gospel <2098> which <3588> was preached <2097>(5685) of <5259> me <1700> is <2076>(5748) not <3756> after <2596> man <444>.
12. For <1063> I <1473> neither <3761> received <3880>(5627) it <846> of <3844> man <444>, neither <3777> was I taught <1321>(5681) it, but <235> by <1223> the revelation <602> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
13. For <1063> ye have heard <191>(5656) of my <1699> conversation <391> in time past <4218> in <1722> the Jews' religion <2454>, how that <3754> beyond <2596> measure <5236> I persecuted <1377>(5707) the church <1577> of God <2316>, and <2532> wasted <4199>(5707) it <846>:
14. And <2532> profited <4298>(5707) in <1722> the Jews' religion <2454> above <5228> many <4183> my equals <4915> in <1722> mine own <3450> nation <1085>, being <5225>(5723) more exceedingly <4056> zealous <2207> of the traditions <3862> of my <3450> fathers <3967>.
15. But <1161> when <3753> it pleased <2106>(5656) God <2316>, who <3588> separated <873>(5660) me <3165> from <1537> my <3450> mother's <3384> womb <2836>, and <2532> called <2564>(5660) me by <1223> his <848> grace <5485>,
16. To reveal <601>(5658) his <848> Son <5207> in <1722> me <1698>, that <2443> I might preach <2097>(5735) him <846> among <1722> the heathen <1484>; immediately <2112> I conferred <4323>(5639) not <3756> with flesh <4561> and <2532> blood <129>:
17. Neither <3761> went I up <424>(5627) to <1519> Jerusalem <2414> to <4314> them which were apostles <652> before <4253> me <1700>; but <235> I went <565>(5627) into <1519> Arabia <688>, and <2532> returned <5290>(5656) again <3825> unto <1519> Damascus <1154>.
18. Then <1899> after <3326> three <5140> years <2094> I went up <424>(5627) to <1519> Jerusalem <2414> to see <2477>(5658) Peter <4074>, and <2532> abode <1961>(5656) with <4314> him <846> fifteen <1178> days <2250>.
19. But <1161> other <2087> of the apostles <652> saw I <1492>(5627) none <3756>, save <1508> James <2385> the Lord's <2962> brother <80>.
20. Now <1161> the things which <3739> I write <1125>(5719) unto you <5213>, behold <2400>(5628), before <1799> God <2316>, <3754> I lie <5574>(5736) not <3756>.
21. Afterwards <1899> I came <2064>(5627) into <1519> the regions <2824> of Syria <4947> and <2532> Cilicia <2791>;
22. And <1161> was <2252>(5713) unknown <50>(5746) by face <4383> unto the churches <1577> of Judaea <2449> which <3588> were in <1722> Christ <5547>:
23. But <1161> they had <2258>(5713) heard <191>(5723) only <3440>, That <3754> he which persecuted <1377>(5723) us <2248> in times past <4218> now <3568> preacheth <2097>(5731) the faith <4102> which <3739> once <4218> he destroyed <4199>(5707).
24. And <2532> they glorified <1392>(5707) God <2316> in <1722> me <1698>.
1. Then <1899> fourteen <1180> years <2094> after <1223> I went up <305>(5627) again <3825> to <1519> Jerusalem <2414> with <3326> Barnabas <921>, and took <4838> <0> Titus <5103> with me <4838>(5631) also <2532>.
2. And <1161> I went up <305>(5627) by <2596> revelation <602>, and <2532> communicated <394>(5639) unto them <846> that gospel <2098> which <3739> I preach <2784>(5719) among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>, but <1161> privately <2596> <2398> to them which were of reputation <1380>(5723), lest by any means <3381> <4458> I should run <5143>(5725), or <2228> had run <5143>(5627), in <1519> vain <2756>.
3. But <235> neither <3761> Titus <5103>, who <3588> was with <4862> me <1698>, being <5607>(5752) a Greek <1672>, was compelled <315>(5681) to be circumcised <4059>(5683):
4. And <1161> that because of <1223> false brethren <5569> unawares brought in <3920>, who <3748> came in privily <3922>(5627) to spy out <2684>(5658) our <2257> liberty <1657> which <3739> we have <2192>(5719) in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, that <2443> they might bring <2615> <0> us <2248> into bondage <2615>(5672):
5. To whom <3739> we gave place <1502>(5656) by subjection <5292>, no, not <3761> for <4314> an hour <5610>; that <2443> the truth <225> of the gospel <2098> might continue <1265>(5661) with <4314> you <5209>.
6. But <1161> of <575> these who seemed <1380>(5723) to be <1511>(5750) somewhat <5100>, (whatsoever <3697> <4218> they were <2258>(5713), it maketh <1308> <0> no <3762> matter <1308>(5719) to me <3427>: God <2316> accepteth <2983>(5719) no <3756> man's <444> person <4383>:) for <1063> they who seemed <1380>(5723) to be somewhat in conference added <4323>(5639) nothing <3762> to me <1698>:
7. But <235> contrariwise <5121>, when they saw <1492>(5631) that <3754> the gospel <2098> of the uncircumcision <203> was committed unto me <4100>(5769), as <2531> the gospel of the circumcision <4061> was unto Peter <4074>;
8. (For <1063> he that wrought effectually <1754>(5660) in Peter <4074> to <1519> the apostleship <651> of the circumcision <4061>, the same <2532> was mighty <1754>(5656) in me <1698> toward <1519> the Gentiles <1484>:)
9. And <2532> when James <2385>, <2532> Cephas <2786>, and <2532> John <2491>, who <3588> seemed <1380>(5723) to be <1511>(5750) pillars <4769>, perceived <1097>(5631) the grace <5485> that was given <1325>(5685) unto me <3427>, they gave <1325>(5656) to me <1698> and <2532> Barnabas <921> the right hands <1188> of fellowship <2842>; that <2443> we <2249> should go unto <1519> the heathen <1484>, and <1161> they unto <1519> the circumcision <4061>.
10. Only <3440> they would that <2443> we should remember <3421>(5725) the poor <4434>; the same <5124> which <3739> I <4704> <0> also <2532> was forward <4704>(5656) to do <4160>(5658).
11. But <1161> when <3753> Peter <4074> was come <2064>(5627) to <1519> Antioch <490>, I withstood <436>(5627) him <846> to <2596> the face <4383>, because <3754> he was <2258>(5713) to be blamed <2607>(5772).
12. For <1063> before <4253> that certain <5100> came <2064>(5629) from <575> James <2385>, he did eat <4906>(5707) with <3326> the Gentiles <1484>: but <1161> when <3753> they were come <2064>(5627), he withdrew <5288>(5707) and <2532> separated <873>(5707) himself <1438>, fearing <5399>(5740) them which were of <1537> the circumcision <4061>.
13. And <2532> the other <3062> Jews <2453> dissembled <4942>(5681) likewise <2532> with him <846>; insomuch <5620> that Barnabas <921> also <2532> was carried away <4879>(5681) with their <846> dissimulation <5272>.
14. But <235> when <3753> I saw <1492>(5627) that <3754> they walked <3716> <0> not <3756> uprightly <3716>(5719) according to <4314> the truth <225> of the gospel <2098>, I said <2036>(5627) unto Peter <4074> before <1715> them all <3956>, If <1487> thou <4771>, being <5225>(5723) a Jew <2453>, livest <2198>(5719) after the manner of Gentiles <1483>, and <2532> not <3756> as do the Jews <2452>, why <5101> compellest thou <315>(5719) the Gentiles <1484> to live as do the Jews <2450>(5721)?
15. We <2249> who are Jews <2453> by nature <5449>, and <2532> not <3756> sinners <268> of <1537> the Gentiles <1484>,
16. Knowing <1492>(5761) that <3754> a man <444> is <1344> <0> not <3756> justified <1344>(5743) by <1537> the works <2041> of the law <3551>, but <3362> by <1223> the faith <4102> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, even <2532> we <2249> have believed <4100>(5656) in <1519> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, that <2443> we might be justified <1344>(5686) by <1537> the faith <4102> of Christ <5547>, and <2532> not <3756> by <1537> the works <2041> of the law <3551>: for <1360> by <1537> the works <2041> of the law <3551> shall <1344> <0> no <3756> <3956> flesh <4561> be justified <1344>(5701).
17. But <1161> if <1487>, while we seek <2212>(5723) to be justified <1344>(5683) by <1722> Christ <5547>, we <2147> <0> ourselves <846> also <2532> are found <2147>(5681) sinners <268>, is therefore <687> Christ <5547> the minister <1249> of sin <266>? God forbid <3361> <1096>(5636).
18. For <1063> if <1487> I build <3618>(5719) again <3825> the things <5023> which <3739> I destroyed <2647>(5656), I make <4921>(5719) myself <1683> a transgressor <3848>.
19. For <1063> I <1473> through <1223> the law <3551> am dead <599>(5627) to the law <3551>, that <2443> I might live <2198>(5661) unto God <2316>.
20. I am crucified <4957>(5769) with Christ <5547>: nevertheless <1161> I live <2198>(5719); yet <2089> not <3765> I <1473>, but <1161> Christ <5547> liveth <2198>(5719) in <1722> me <1698>: and <1161> the life which <3739> I <2198> <0> now <3568> live <2198>(5719) in <1722> the flesh <4561> I live <2198>(5719) by <1722> the faith <4102> of the Son <5207> of God <2316>, who <3588> loved <25>(5660) me <3165>, and <2532> gave <3860>(5631) himself <1438> for <5228> me <1700>.
21. I do <114> <0> not <3756> frustrate <114>(5719) the grace <5485> of God <2316>: for <1063> if <1487> righteousness <1343> come by <1223> the law <3551>, then <686> Christ <5547> is dead <599>(5627) in vain <1432>.
