11 Woe to them, for they walk in the way of Cain, give themselves up to the deceit of a bribe, like Balaam, and perish in stubbornness, like Korah. (References to the Old Testament history. The author of the epistle warns readers to be careful with people who preach false teachings, having penetrated the ranks of Christians. The author also considers those who continue to adhere to the teachings of early Christians to be professing false doctrine).

The Epistles of the Apostle Paul
8. The Epistle to the Romans of St. Paul the Apostle
Chapter 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called Apostle, chosen to the gospel of God, (The apostles (slaves of Jesus Christ, Christianity is created in a slaveowning society, necessarily references to «election» and «vocation», «the gospel of God» the preaching of a new religion), that is, «messengers» were called in the first communities of the nascent Christian delegates, which were exchanged by individual Christian centers (from Greek. «apostello» «I send»). They often prophesied ecstatically, speaking allegedly «through the mouth of God himself» or his messiah (God the son) Christ, as if they had seen him in their visions. Paul the «super-twelve» apostle is a Roman citizen from Tarsus (Cilicia, at that time a Roman province, Paul paulus (Latin) «small», according to one version he was short), the original name was Saul; by origin a Jew, belonged to the tribe of Benjamin; by upbringing and religion the Pharisee. His natural qualities and talent made him the head of the persecution of the apostles and their followers. He acted in this field with extraordinary diligence. One day a wonderful light from heaven struck him; the light was so strong and bright that he lost his sight (Acts 22:11). From that time on, Saul became a completely different person. Soon followed the return of his sight and the baptism of the Apostle Paul. Since that time, he has been zealously preaching the very Christian faith that he initially brutally persecuted. The scientific explanation of the «transformation of Saul into Paul», when the ardent persecutor of the apostles and their followers Saul was suddenly struck by a wonderful light from heaven, the light was so strong and bright that he lost his sight. From that time on, Saul became a completely different person. Soon followed by the return of his sight and the baptism of the Apostle Paul, he zealously preaches the very Christian faith that he had previously cruelly persecuted. The bright light may have been an explosion of ball lightning, which are very close to the lights of St. Elmo or corona discharges, Saul was an unwitting witness to this and his eyesight was temporarily damaged, as it happens when burned by ultraviolet rays, it is known that ball lightning consists of non-equilibrium plasma, as well as plasma clouds intensively emit ultraviolet rays. In Damascus, a certain Ananias cured Saul by laying on his hand, which is scientifically called the «placebo effect». The placebo effect is a belief in healing. It is used by all healers, shamans, priests. A large number of diseases, including cancer, are cured, except for incurable physical disabilities, by suggestion, if the patient believes in the healing power. Treatment takes place by the imposition of hands, conspiracies, appeal to herbs, trees, cheese-Earth, taxation of diseased organs with the same organs of sacrificial animals, and then their complete burning (Holocaust). Organ regeneration is also accelerated by the placebo effect).

4 And he was revealed to be the Son of God in power, according to the holy spirit, through the resurrection from the dead, about Jesus Christ our Lord, («Divine» bundles).
5 Through whom we received grace and apostleship, that in his name we might subdue all nations to the faith, (Grace Greek. «charisma», lat. «grace», according to religious beliefs, is a special «divine power», allegedly sent down to man from above in order to overcome the sinfulness inherent in man and achieve salvation and eternal life in the other world).
6 Between which you, called by Jesus Christ, are also («Divine» bundles).

7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: grace to you and peace from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ. («Divine» bundles).
8 First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is being proclaimed throughout the world. («Divine» bundles).
9 God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that I constantly remember you («Divine» bundles, personification of God).
10 always asking in my prayers that the will of God may someday help me to come to you, («Divine» bundles).
11 For I am very desirous to see you, in order to teach you a certain spiritual gift for your confirmation, («Divine» bundles).
12 that is, to be comforted with you by common faith, yours and mine. («Divine» bundles).
13 I do not want to leave you in ignorance, brethren, that I have repeatedly intended to come to you (but have met obstacles even up to now) in order to have some fruit with you, as with other nations. («Divine» bundles).
14 I owe both Greeks and barbarians, wise men and ignoramuses. (The Greeks are Greeks, and the word «barbarian» denotes a person who did not belong to either Jews or Greeks).
15 Now, as for me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome. (The need to «carry» the good news to the Romans).
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, because [it] is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first, the Jew, [then] and the Greek. (Salvation is, according to religious beliefs, the highest «bliss» that is supposedly granted to a person by God when a person fulfills a number of religious conditions, mainly consisting in slavish obedience and obedience, which is beneficial to priests of any religion. In the first place Jews, in the second Greeks, Hellenes).
17 In him the truth of God is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written: The righteous will live by faith. (Belief in a non-existent god is very beneficial to the exploiting classes, so the «spiritual religious» government always «goes in an embrace» with the secular one in order to keep the masses «on a religious leash»).
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all the wickedness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth by unrighteousness. (Churchmen of all stripes inspire their believers with all kinds of fears and misfortunes that will follow if believers cease to be believers. Here the churchmen are silent and do not say that everything in the world is according to the will of God, including: «every wickedness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth with unrighteousness»).
19 For what can be known about God is obvious to them, because God has revealed to them. («Divine» bundles).
20 For his invisible things, his eternal power and divinity, from the creation of the world through the contemplation of creatures are visible, so that they are unresponsive. («Divine» bundles).
21 But how, when they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, and did not thank him, but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened; (They behaved «wrongly.» However, everything is according to the will of God!).
22 calling themselves wise, they went mad, (Criticism of «wrong» behavior).
23 and the glory of the incorruptible God was changed into an image like a corruptible man, and birds, and quadrupeds, and reptiles (But all according to the will of God!).
24 This is why God gave them up to uncleanness in the lusts of their hearts, so that they defiled their own bodies. (The central idea of this message is justification. It tells about the sinfulness of all people who are mired in shameful passions and are unable to rise spiritually. This applies primarily to the pagans, who, having come to know God and his commandments, nevertheless gave themselves up to idolatry, therefore God rejected them from himself and betrayed them «in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness.» Pagans this word «sacred» writers sometimes denote those who do not believe in the true God, or in general all those who do not know and do not recognize his name. In some places of the Bible, this word means Christians not from Jews).
25 They replaced the truth of God with a lie, and worshipped and served the creature instead of the Creator, Who is blessed forever, amen. (Criticism of «wrong» behavior).
26 Therefore, God betrayed them to shameful passions: their women replaced their natural use with unnatural; (Criticism of «wrong» behavior).
27 similarly, men, abandoning the natural use of the female sex, were inflamed with lust for one another, men on men doing shame and receiving in themselves due retribution for their error. (Criticism of «wrong» behavior).
28 And as they did not care to have God in their minds, God gave them over to a perverse mind to do lewdness, (Talions rule).
29 so that they are full of all unrighteousness, fornication, deceit, covetousness, malice, filled with envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice, (Criticism of «wrong» behavior).
30 slanderers, slanderers, God-haters, abusers, self-praisers, proud, inventive for evil, disobedient to parents, (Criticism of «wrong» behavior).
31 reckless, treacherous, unloving, irreconcilable, merciless. (Criticism of «wrong» behavior).
32 They know the righteous [judgment] It is Gods law that those who do such things are worthy of death; however, not only do they do them, but they also approve of those who do them. (Criticism of «wrong» behavior).
Chapter 2
1 Therefore, you are not blameless, every person who judges [another], because by the same judgment that you judge another, you condemn yourself, because judging [another], you do the same. (Talions rule).
2 But we know that truly there is a judgment of God on those who do such things. (The mention of the «judgment of God», which will evaluate everything «correctly», is an analogy with the human judgment).
3 Do you really think, man, that you will escape the judgment of God by condemning those who do such things and (yourself) doing the same? (The suggestion that it is impossible for a person to avoid the «judgment of God»).
4 Or do you neglect the riches of Gods goodness, meekness, and longsuffering, not understanding that Gods goodness leads you to repentance? («Divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Pauls point of view).
5 But, according to your stubbornness and unrepentant heart, you are gathering anger for yourself on the day of wrath and the revelation of righteous judgment from God, («Divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Pauls point of view).
6 Who will reward everyone according to his deeds: (The suggestion that it is impossible for a person to avoid the «judgment of God»).
7 those who seek glory, honor and immortality by perseverance in a good deed eternal life; (Talions rule: if you behave as established by the priesthood, then, they say, you will live forever, behave badly, do not obey the priests, then, they say, God will punish you. This interpretation is beneficial to priests-priests of any religion).
8 but to those who persist and do not submit to the truth, but give themselves up to unrighteousness rage and anger. (Talions rule: if you behave as established by the priesthood, then, they say, you will live forever, behave badly, do not obey the priests, then, they say, God will punish you. This interpretation is beneficial to priests-priests of any religion).
