¹⁷ For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed^(A)—a righteousness that is by faith^(B) from first to last,^[a] just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”^[b](C)

³⁸ And,

¹¹ Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God,^(A) because “the righteous will live by faith.”^{[a](B) 12} The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”^[b](C)

¹⁶ know that a person is not justified by the works of the law,^(A) but by faith in Jesus Christ.^(B) So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in^[a] Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.^(C)

³⁶ Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,^(A) but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

¹⁰ Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony.^(A) Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar,^(B) because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. ¹¹ And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life,^(C) and this life is in his Son.^{(D) 12} Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.^(E)

¹⁴ “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”^(A)
