5. “The Epistle is really the chief part
The Book of Romans
Our Goal
“The Epistle is really the chief part
of the New Testament and the very purest Gospel, and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but occupy himself with it every day, as the daily bread of the soul.”—Martin Luther, Commentary on Romans, 8.
Ang Ating Mithiin. “Ang Sulat ay talagang pangunahing bahagi ng Bagong Tipan, at ang pinakadalisay na Ebanghelyo, at nararapat na di lang kelangang malaman ng bawat Kristiyano ito nang buumbuo at isinasaulo, kundi maging abala rito araw-araw, bilang pang-araw-araw na tinapay ng kaluluwa.”—Martin Luther, Commentary on Romans, 8.

Overcoming Evil With Good
Dinadaig ang Masama ng Mabuti

7. Overcoming Evil With Good
Key Text
Romans 12:2 NKJV
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will
of God.”
Susing Talata. “Huwag ninyong tularan ang sanlibutang ito; kundi magbago kayo sa pamamagitan ng pagbabago ng inyong pag-iisip, upang mapatunayan ninyo kung alin ang mabuti, kasiya-siya, at lubos na kalooban ng Diyos”
(Roma 12:2).

8. Overcoming Evil With Good
Initial Words
With chapter 11, the doctrinal part ends. Chapters 12 through 16 present practical instruction and personal notes.
Faith is not a substitute for obedience, as if faith somehow nullifies our obligation to obey the Lord. … If we fall,
if we stumble, we are not cast away but have a High Priest who intercedes in our behalf (Hebrews 7:25).
Panimulang Salita. Ang bahaging doktrinal ay nagtatapos sa kapitulo 11. Inihaharap ng kapitulo 12 hanggang 16 ang mga praktikal na tagubilin at mga personal na tala. ¶ Hindi isang pampalit ang pananampalataya para sa pagsunod, na para bang inaalis ng pananampalataya ang ating obligasyon na sundin ang Panginoon. Kung tayo ay bumagsak, matisod, ay hindi tayo itatakwil kundi meron tayong Punong Pari na namamagitan para sa atin (Hebreo 7:25).

Quick Look
1. Responsibility Toward God (Romans 12:1-2)
2. Responsibility Toward Society (Romans 12:3-13:7)
3. Responsibility Toward Neighbors (Romans 13:8, 10)
1. Kapanagutan sa Diyos (Romans 12:1-2)
2. Kapanagutan sa Lipunan (Romans 12:3-13:7)
3. Kapanagutan sa Kapwa (Romans 13:8, 10)

10. Overcoming Evil With Good
1. Responsibility Toward God
Romans 12:1, 2 NKJV
“I beseech you..., by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be trans-formed by the renewing of your mind,
that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
1. Kapanagutan sa Diyos. “Kaya nga, mga kapatid, isinasamo ko sa inyo, alang-alang sa mga kahabagan ng Diyos; na inyong iaalay ang inyong mga katawan na isang handog na buhay, banal, na kasiya-siya sa Diyos, na siya ninyong makatuwirang paglilingkod. Huwag ninyong tularan ang sanlibutang ito; kundi magbago kayo sa pamamagitan ng pagbabago ng inyong pag-iisip, ¶ upang mapatunayan ninyo kung alin ang mabuti, kasiya-siya, at lubos na kalooban ng Diyos” (Roma 12;1, 2).

11. Responsibility Toward God
Living Sacrifices
As, anciently, animals were sacrificed to God, so now Christians ought to yield their bodies to God, not to be killed but as living sacrifices dedicated to His service.
Every offering brought as a sacrifice was examined carefully, for God had commanded that the offering be without blemish.
Mga Haing Buhay. Kung paano noon inihahandog sa Diyos ang mga hayop, ngayon naman ang mga Kristiyano ay dapat na isuko ang kanilang katawan sa Diyos, hindi para patayin kundi bilang isang haing buhay na natatalaga sa paglilingkod sa Kanyang. ¶ Bawat handog na dala bilang isang sakripisyo ay sinuring mabuti, sapagka’t nag-utos ang Diyos na ang bawat handog ay dapat na walang dungis.

12. Responsibility Toward God
Living Sacrifices
So, Christians are bidden to present their bodies “a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God.” In order to do this, all their powers must be preserved in the best possible condition.
Though none of us are without blemish, the point is that we are to seek to live as spotlessly and as faithfully as we can.
Kaya, ang bawat Kristiyano ay hinihilingang iharap ang kanilang katawan na “isang haing buhay, banal, at kaaya-aya sa Diyos.” Para magawa ito, ang lahat ng kapangyarihan nila ay kelangang maingatan sa pinakamabuting kalagayan. ¶ Bagaman wala sa atin ang walang dungis, ang punto ay kelangan nating sikaping mamuhay na hanggang makakayanan na walang batik at buong katapatan.

13. “Not to think more highly than he
Overcoming Evil With Good
2. Responsibility Toward Society
Romans 12:3; 13:1 NKJV
“Not to think more highly than he
ought to think of himself, but to think soberly…. Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God,
and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.”
2. Kapanagutan sa Lipunan. “Huwag mag-isip sa kanyang sarili nang higit kaysa nararapat niyang isipin; kundi mag-isip nang may katinuan…. Ang bawat tao ay magpasakop sa mga namamahalang awtoridad, sapagkat walang pamamahala na hindi mula sa Diyos; ¶ at ang pamamahalang iyon ay itinalaga ng Diyos” (Roma 12:3; 13:1).

14. Love is to be expressed in a practical manner.
2. Responsibility Toward Society
How to Reveal Love
Love is to be expressed in a
practical manner.
One important principle: personal humility, a willingness of a person “not
to think of himself more highly than he ought” (Rom. 12:3), a willingness to “give
preference to one another in honor”
(vs 10 NASB), and a willingness not to “be wise in your own opinion” (vs 16 NKJV).
Paano Ipapahayag ang Pag-ibig. Ang pag-ibig ay isasagawa sa isang praktikal na paraan. ¶ Isang mahalagang prinsipyo: ang pansariling kababaang-loob, isang kahandaan ng isang tao na “huwag mag-isip sa kanyang sarili nang higit kaysa marapat niyang isipin” (Roma 12:3), isang kahandaan na “sa pagpaparangal ay magparaya sa isa’t-isa” (talatang 10) at isang kahandaan na huwag “ninyong ipalagay ang inyong mga sarili na matatalino.” (talatang 16).

15. Of all people, Christians should be the most humble.
2. Responsibility Toward Society
How to Reveal Love
Of all people, Christians should be the most humble.
After all, look at how helpless we are; how fallen we are; how dependent we are, not only upon a righteousness outside of ourselves for salvation but on a power working in us in order to change us in ways we never can change ourselves.
Sa lahat ng mga tao, ang mga Kristiyano ang dapat na maging pinakamapagpakumbaba. ¶ Matapos ang lahat, tingnan kung gaano tayo kahina; gaano tayo makasalanan; gaano tayo nakadepende, hindi lang sa isang katuwirang nasa labas natin para sa kaligtasan kundi sa isang kapangyarihang gumagawa sa atin upang baguhin tayo sa mga paraang hinding-hindi natin kayang mabago. ¶ Ano ang ating maipagmamalaki? ¶ Wala.
What have we to be proud about?
Nothing.

16. 2. Responsibility Toward Society
Relationship to Government
Paul wrote when a pagan empire ruled the world, one that could be incredibly brutal, one that was at its core corrupt, and one that knew nothing about the true God and would start a massive persecution of those who wanted to worship that God. Paul was advocating that Christians be good citizens. Even under a government like that?
Relasyon sa Gobyerno. Sumulat si Pablo nang ang isang paganong imperyo ang namumuno sa sanlibutan, isa na maaaring maging di kapani-paniwalang brutal, isa na tiwali sa kaibuturan nito, at isa na walang nalalaman tungkol sa tunay na Diyos at pasisimulan ang isang napakalaking pag-uusig sa mga gustong sumamba sa Diyos na ‘yon. Iminumungkahi ni Pablo na ang mga Kristiyano ay maging mabubuting mamamayan. Kahit sa ilalim ng ganong gobyerno?

17. “We are to recognize human
Relationship to Government
The Acts of the Apostles 69
“We are to recognize human
government as an ordinance of divine appointment, and teach obedience to it as a sacred duty, within its legitimate sphere. But when its claims conflict with the claims of God, we must obey God rather than men. ....
We are not required to defy authorities.”
The Acts of the Apostles 69. “Ating kikilalanin ang mga gobyerno ng tao bilang isang kautusan ng makalangit na pagkakahirang, at ituro ang pagsunod dito bilang isang banal na katungkulan, sa loob ng marapat nitong nasasaklawan. Ngunit kung ang mga inaangkin nito ay sumasalungat sa mga inaangkin ng Diyos, kelangang sumunod tayo sa Diyos kaysa mga tao ¶ Hindi tayo hinihilingang suwayin ang mga maykapangyarihan.”

18. Love does no harm to a neighbor….”
Overcoming Evil With Good
3. Responsibility Toward Neighbors
Romans 13:8, 10 NKJV
“Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
Love does no harm to a neighbor….”
3. Kapanagutan sa Kapwa. “Huwag kayong magkautang ng anuman sa kaninuman, kundi mag-ibigan sa isa’t isa, sapagkat ang umiibig sa kanyang kapwa’y nakatupad na ng kautusan. Ang pag-ibig ay hindi gumagawa ng masama sa kanyang kapwa...” (Roma 13:8, 10).

19. 3. Responsibility Toward Neighbors
Fulfill the Law
As Jesus did in the Sermon on the Mount, Paul here amplifies the precepts of the law, showing that love must be the motivating power behind all that we do.
Because the law is a transcript of the character of God, and God is love, to love, therefore, is to fulfill the law.
Tuparin ang Kautusan. Gaya ng ginawa ni Jesus sa Sermon sa Bundok, pinalalawak dito ni Pablo ang mga alituntunin ng kautusan, na ipinapakitang ang pag-ibig ang dapat na maging kapangyarihang taga-udyok sa likod ng lahat ng ating ginagawa. ¶ Sapagka’t ang kautusan ay isang kopya ng karakter ng Diyos, at ang Diyos ay pag-ibig, ang umibig kung gayon, ay ang tuparin ang kautusan.

20. As the New Testament writers point out, by showing love to others,
3. Responsibility Toward Neighbors
Fulfill the Law
Paul was dealing with personal relationships, which is why he specified the commandments that centered on these relationships.
As the New Testament writers point out, by showing love to others,
we show our love to God
(Matthew 25:40; 1 John 4:20, 21).
Tinatalakay ni Pablo ang personal na relasyon, ito ang dahilan kung bakit tiniyak niya ang mga kautusang nakasentro sa mga relasyong ito. ¶ Gaya ng itinuturo ng mga manunulat sa Bagong Tipan, sa pagpapakita ng pag-ibig sa iba, ipinapakita natin ang pag-ibig natin sa Diyos (Mateo 25:40; 1 Juan 4:20, 21).

21. Overcoming Evil With Good
Final Words
Though Paul doesn’t deal much in Romans with the Second Coming, in the Thessalonian and the Corinthian letters he covers it in much more detail.
After all, without it, and the hope it offers, our faith is, really, meaningless.
What does “justification by faith” mean without the Second Coming to bring that wonderful truth to complete fruition?
Huling Pananalita. Bagaman hindi gaanong pinatungkulan ni Pablo ang Ikalawang Pagparito sa aklat ng Roma, sumulat siya ng mas detalyado tungkol dito sa mga liham sa Tesalonica at Corinto. ¶ Matapos ang lahat, kung wala ito, at ng pag-asang inaalok nito, ang ating pananampalataya ay, talaga ngang walang kahulugan. ¶ Ano ang kahulugan ng “pag-aaring-ganap sa pananampalataya” kung walang Ikalawang Pagparito na magdadala nitong kahanga-hangang katotohanan sa lubos na katuparan?
