read the next verse!

Context is everything.  I appreciate lists of verses.  I really do.  There are times when the next verse really clarifies the meaning of the word.  Romans 3:23 is a good example.  For years it has been quoted to make the point that everyone is a sinner.  That's quite true.  I have to share that I already knew that.  Sin is problem number one within the human frame.  Verse 24 provides a powerful context that communicates the Gospel.  Here is Romans 3:23-24 and I'll let the Scripture speak for itself.

Rom. 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; 24 they are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. 

​Praise God!
