                                    Epistle of Romans bible study chapters 1 through 8

This is a study of Paul’s epistle to the Romans which presumably was written during his stay in Rome to the Roman Christians and Jews. The epistle is highly evangelical in nature and a good many verses are now used to witness to people nowadays, showing our need for a savior, namely Jesus, why we do need Him, and even how to get him. Because of the epistle’s length it is being split in two parts of 8 chapters each.

Chapter 1 is the salutation of the epistle and then warns us about the dangers of being fallen away from God because God can and will give people over to their own reprobate minds, often causing people to become harder still:

(Romans 1:1)  Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,

(Romans 1:2)  which he promised beforehand through his...

                                    1 Corinthians bible study chapters 1 through 8

            Paul wrote two epistles to the Corinthians to help build up, encourage and also correct the Christians and their church in Corinth, hoping they would become more mature and repent of any wrongdoing, putting away any evil people among them as needed. I am doing this in three studies total, the first letter in 2 parts and the second letter as a study on its own , due to their combined length. The two letters can be studied separately also but I plan on linking all three together for those who want to do a big study of both letters, which I recommend so doing.

In chapter 1 after the salutation in which Paul encourages the Corinthians to be rich in the Lord Paul corrects them for divisions and strife, telling them to focus on God, and not men, and that God can bring any worldly thing down to foolishness, and that if we are to boast in anything...
