11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see[a] and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall (A)the righteous one, my servant,
(B)make many to be accounted righteous,

12 (D)Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,[b]

because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
(F)yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.

The Righteousness of God Through Faith
21 But now (C)the righteousness of God (D)has been manifested apart from the law, although (E)the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God (F)through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. (G)For there is no distinction: 23 for (H)all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 (I)and are justified (J)by his grace as a gift, (K)through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God (L)put forward as (M)a propitiation (N)by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in (O)his divine forbearance he had passed over (P)former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
27 (Q)Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 For we hold that one is justified by faith (R)apart from works of the law.

17 Therefore, if anyone is (A)in Christ, he is (B)a new creation.[a] (C)The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, (D)who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us (E)the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling[b] the world to himself, (F)not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us (G)the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, (H)we are ambassadors for Christ, (I)God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 (J)For our sake he made him to be sin (K)who knew no sin, so that in him we might become (L)the righteousness of God.

Justified by Faith
15 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not (A)Gentile sinners; 16 yet we know that (B)a person is not justified[a] by works of the law (C)but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, (D)because by works of the law no one will be justified.
17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found (E)to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!

(C)If God is for us, who can be[a] against us? 32 (D)He who did not spare his own Son but (E)gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect?
