God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;

because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction;

for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

for the showing, I say, of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus.

For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.

For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness.

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

For if they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:

for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him;

but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die.
