Answer: Burial
"Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." (Romans 6 v. 3-4)
"In Christ" is one of Paul's favourite phrases, which he uses in many of his letters. By it, he seeks to paint a picture of identification. Christ, in coming to Earth, entered fully into our life. He identified himself with us. Through faith, we identify ourselves with him and share in his death, resurrection and heavenly status.

Answer: Feet
This verse comes at a part of Paul's letter where he is relaying key actions necessary, one of which is preaching the gospel. The people can't believe the gospel if they never hear it, and they can't hear it if no one preaches to them. The full verse for Romans 10:15 is "And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!'" This verse echoes words from Isaiah 52:7, which reads: "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things..." This verse also references Nahum 1:15: "Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good tidings, who proclaims peace!..."

Answer: Becoming holy (Sanctification)
These chapters deal with the Christian concept of Sanctification - or, in simple terms, 'becoming holy'.
In Chapter 6 Paul addresses the crucial concept of the Christian's participation with Christ in His death and in His Resurrection: Christians believe that this is the source of the 'new life' into which we are 'born again'.
Chapter 7 addresses the relationship of the Christian with sin and the (Judaic) Law, and Chapter 8 the significance and primacy of the Holy Spirit in the new life and in the process of Sanctification (or, as we Christians see it, 'being made into saints'. For most of us, we expect that this will be a lengthy process, as so much needs to be done!)

Answer: Nothing
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8 v. 38-39)
This is an incredibly affirming chapter. It begins by stating that "there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8 v. 1). It moves on to describe the transformation brought by the Spirit of Jesus living in us. And it finishes by asserting that nothing can separate us from God's love.

Answer: Israelites
Paul was an Israelite himself and very learned in Judaism. However, Acts showed Paul consistently having his Christian message rejected by the Jews and finding a receptive audience among the Gentiles. While Paul rejoiced that there was no favoritism against the Gentiles, he had "great sorrow and unceasing anguish in (his) heart" (Romans 9:2) for his kinsmen. However, Paul recognized that there was a remnant of Israel that had faith in Jesus Christ.

Answer: life and peace
The Christian reader will understand that when Paul says, "set your mind upon" he means, "make up your mind to focus upon" - and keep on setting your mind upon those things, renewing and refreshing your focus continually.
According to a Christian understanding of these verses, allowing your mind to focus on the world and the things of the world will result in a habitual worldly focus; on the other hand, determinedly and repeatedly setting your mind upon the things of the spirit will result in a godly view of life. Notice that the benefit is not only life rather than death, but peace also: peace with God, as well as peace of mind and heart.

Answer: vengeance
It says in Romans 12:19, "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
God says in this chapter that He wants people to love everyone, even those who have wronged them. He says He will take care of those people who have hurt others, so we do not need to worry about it.

Answer: They will be saved.
"I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved..." (Romans 11 v. 25-26)
In Paul's mind, he does not see the Gentile Christians as having supplanted the Jewish people in God's affections. Rather, he uses the illustration of their being grafted, as a cutting from a wild olive tree, onto a previously cultivated tree (Romans 11 v. 24)
