Righteousness

16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone who believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."

3For being ignorant of God`s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn`t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

21But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;

22even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,

23for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

24being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

25whom God set forth to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done before, in the forbearance of God;

26for the showing of his righteousness at this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

27Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

28We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

29Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn`t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

30if it is so that God is one. He will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

31Do we then make the law of no effect through faith? Certainly not! No, we establish the law.

18Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "So will your seed be."

19Without being weakened in faith, he didn`t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah`s womb.

20Yet, looking to the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

21and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

22Therefore also it was "reckoned to him for righteousness."

23Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,

24but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead,

25who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

1What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?

2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.

3For what does the scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

4Now to him who works, the reward is not accounted as of grace, but as of debt.

5But to him who doesn`t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

6Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

7"Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, Whose sins are covered.

8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not charge with sin."

18So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.

19For as through the one man`s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one will many be made righteous.

1Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

2through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
