'People' in the Bible

I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:

But the true Jew is one inwardly, and true circumcision is heart-circumcision--not literal, but spiritual; and such people receive praise not from men, but from God.

Brethren, do you not know--for I am writing to people acquainted with the Law--that it is during our lifetime that we are subject to the Law?

and the Searcher of hearts knows what the Spirit's meaning is, because His intercessions for God's people are in harmony with God's will.

So also in Hosea He says, "I will call that nation My People which was not My People, and I will call her beloved who was not beloved.

And in the place where it was said to them, 'No people of Mine are you,' there shall they be called sons of the everliving God."

in agreement with the statement of Scripture, "See, I am placing on Mount Zion a stone for people to stumble at, and a rock for them to trip over, and yet he whose faith rests upon it shall never have reason to feel ashamed."

I ask then, Has God cast off His People? No, indeed. Why, I myself am an Israelite, of the posterity of Abraham and of the tribe of Benjamin.

My meaning is that Christ has become a servant to the people of Israel in vindication of God's truthfulness-- in showing how sure are the promises made to our forefathers--

And again the Psalmist says, "Be glad, ye Gentiles, in company with His People."

for Macedonia and Greece have kindly contributed a certain sum in relief of the poor among God's people, in Jerusalem.

that you may receive her as a fellow Christian in a manner worthy of God's people, and may assist her in any matter in which she may need help. For she has indeed been a kind friend to many, including myself.

Greetings to Rufus, who is one of the Lord's chosen people; and to his mother, who has also been a mother to me.

to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister and Olympas, and to all God's people associated with them.
