Now to the one who works, his wage is not counted according to grace, but according to what is due.

But to the one who does not work, but believes upon Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,

How then was it counted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised;

and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.

For the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no trespass.

For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be according to grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the seed, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all—

yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God,

but for our sake also, to whom it will be counted, as those who believe upon Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

And not only this, but we also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction brings about perseverance;

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

And not only this, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.

Now the Law came in so that the transgression would increase, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all, but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

and do not go on presenting your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
