For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

For we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

Or is God for Jews only? Is He not also for Gentiles? Yes, for Gentiles too,

For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness.

But to the one who does not work, but believes on Him who declares the ungodly to be righteous, his faith is credited for righteousness.

Is this blessing only for the circumcised, then? Or is it also for the uncircumcised? For we say, Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness.

For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

For the law produces wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.

Therefore, it was credited to him for righteousness.

Now it was credited to him was not written for Abraham alone,

but also for us. It will be credited to us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.

For while we were still helpless, at the appointed moment, Christ died for the ungodly.

For rarely will someone die for a just person—though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die.

But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by His life!

But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man's trespass the many died, how much more have the grace of God and the gift overflowed to the many by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ.

So then, as through one trespass there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is life-giving justification for everyone.

For just as through one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

For if we have been joined with Him in the likeness of His death, we will certainly also be in the likeness of His resurrection.
