The revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith.

There is a common misconception, that the failure of Job, and David, and all men who sinned and failed to do well, ( the entire old testament examples ) is the end of the story ?
The name of Jesus Christ is in the world, the Holy arm of the Lord got Him the victory ( over death ) and the Lord ( Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior) made known His salvation, His righteousness was shown to us all in the world..
Psalm 98:O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.
2 The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
All were corruptible, including King David, who saw corruption, but God cannot be held in death, as God is life.
The Holy one went to hell for us, but saw no corruption, and David spoke of the resurrection of Christ how His soul was not left in hell ( as all men's souls are normally ) and His flesh ( the sinless flesh of Christ ) saw no corruption...
Acts 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
Acts 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Acts 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
The day Christ was risen, is when Christ is the first begotten of the dead to give us that lively hope, to an inheritance for us which we can now believe in that is no longer corruptible, as the way of Christ clearly is undefiled for us to follow.
After Christ is quickened ( and we be quickened together with Him ) risen from the dead is to no more return to corruption, David saw corruption, but Christ it is revealed saw no corruption, for us to believe in as the law of Moses had sin and death for us ( corruption) which means no justification.....
1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Acts 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Being bought by the blood of Christ, we no longer die to ourselves ( in corruption) as Christ died to redeem us from corruption, to be Lord of the dead ( who were in corruption) and Lord of the living, as we now live unto Him...
Romans 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Christ shows us the way to the Kingdom of Heaven, for the flesh to be put to death and to be quickened in the Spirit, which was preached to all in the corruption of hell, who were once disobedient ( disobedience is corruption and the death, unlike the obedience of Christ which is life and no corruption )
Baptism saves us, the answer of a good conscience by the victory of the Lord for us by His Resurrection, bringing out the prisoners fro that prison house f corruptible death....
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Isaiah 42:7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
The corruptible clearly must put on incorruptible ( put on Christ who is that incorruptible) to swallow up death in that victory of the Lord.
God gave us the victory over the sting of death ( sin and corruption ) through our Lord Jesus Christ, and the strength of sin was the law..
1 Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
All were under sin. None sought after God in the world.
All the world was guilty before God, because of the law of sin and death testifying against us, and keeping us in corruption.
The law was taken away, and our accusations, nailing them to the cross of Christ, as all sinned( all the world was guilty before God in the abolished law) now we are justified by the redemption that is in Christ, circumcised by the circumcision of Christ, putting off the corrupt body of the sins of the flesh, ( as the flesh of Christ S)AW NO CORRUPTION) buried with Him in baptism, which is the purpose of the operation of God, to be risen with Christ, quickened together with Him, to no longer be dead in our sins of corruption, and is how and why there is forgiveness of sins, the complete victory of Christ on the cross to take us away from corrupted death...
Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Romans 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
The Lord we are freed from ( sin and death ) and that establishes the law. The love of God ( the risen Lords Holy Spirit ) is poured into our hearts.
Sin passed onto all beginning with Adams transgression, and sin reigns to death in all, now grace reigns through righteousness unto eternal lie by Jesus Christ..
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
As many as were baptized into the death of Christ, likewise are risen with Him to walk in newness of life.
Our old man ( corruptible ) is crucified with Him, ( the corruptible is destroyed in the baptism) and we no longer serve sin, being freed from the corruptible law of sin and death.
Death through corruption from sin, no ,longer has dominion over us, as that was the law of sin and death for all before Christs victory.
The outcome of the corruption all followed, we saw was death, for David and all, now Christ frees us from that corruption of the law of sin and death to be servants of God in righteousness..
Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Romans 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
When man was in the flesh, ( Christs flesh saw no corruption for us to follow) the law which Christ abolished as it was death by sin, brought fruit to death by sin in our members.
Christ 's victory that corruptible law of sin and death, frees us from serving sin in our members, to serve in newness of life and Spirit, and not the oldness of the letter of the law.
Man was sold under sin, and is delivered through the victory of Christ...
Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Romans 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, SOLD UNDER SIN.
The law of the Spirit the life that Christ had over death, frees man from the law of sin and death.
The flesh was the weakness of the law of sin and death.
Christs flesh saw no corruption in death, and for sin condemned sin in the flesh for man, now walking in newness of life man fulfils the law of righteousness through the Spirit of Christ..
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Before faith came through Christs victory over corruption, we were UNDER THE LAW, as Paul says we were in Romans 7:24, being SOLD under (the law of) sin, as Romans 8:2 says, to NOW be FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH, and as 1 Corinthians 6:20 confirms we are bought with a price ( by Christs own blood and NO LONGER SOLD UNDER SIN ) to glorify God in our body and in our spirit, which are now God's.
Being no longer under the schoolmaster the law of corruptible sin and death, to be the children of God ( freed from corruptible flesh and servants of sin ) to PUT ON CHRIST.
1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Galatians 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Man was under tutors ( was sold under sin of law and death ) and consequently were subject to the bondage of the elements of this world, until faith came.
Christ redeems all under the law ( all were sold and under the law of sin and death ) to be NO MORE A SERVANT ( OF THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH WE WERE SOLD AND HELD UNDER) TO NOW BE A SON AND AN HEIR OF GOD THROUGH CHRIST.
John 8, confirms, the servant ( of sin ) abides not forever ( as the corruptible law of sin and death gives the wages of death ) and Christ freed His prisoners of corruption and death by having His flesh see no corruption for us, the Son therefore made us free..
Galatians 4:1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Galatians 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Those works of darkness are put off by putting on the light that shined, the armour of Christ that shined against darkness, putting on Jesus Christ to not make any way for the flesh any more, loving our neighbour as ourselves fulfils the law of Christ with the lkove of God shed int our hearts..
Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
This is the gospel, which was the secret since the world began, now it is revealed and made manifest ( light given through Christ) made known for the obedience of faith..
Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
