-
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
-
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
-
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
-
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
-
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
-
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
-
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
-
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
-
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
-
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
-
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
-
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
-
Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
-
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
-
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
-
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
-
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
-
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
-
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
-
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
-
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
-
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
-
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
-
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
-
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
