-
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
-
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)
-
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 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.
-
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.
-
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
-
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
-
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
-
For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
-
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
-
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
-
For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
-
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
-
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
-
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
-
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
-
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
