For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

God's Righteousness Upheld

Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?

But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)

The Righteousness of God Through Faith

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—

the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:

just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:

For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
