15 Bible Verses about Justification By Faith

For we hold that a man is made upright by faith; the observance of the Law has nothing to do with it.

So as we have been made upright by faith, let us live in peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

In it God's way of uprightness is disclosed through faith and for faith, just as the Scripture says, "The upright will have life because of his faith."

Then what becomes of our boasting? It is shut out. On what principle? What a man does? No, but whether a man has faith.

so that in his presence no human being might have anything to boast of.

there is but one God, and he will make the circumcised upright on the ground of their faith and the uncircumcised upright because of theirs." Is this using faith to overthrow law? Far from it. This confirms the Law.

To those who have no law I have become like a man without any law??hough I am not without the law of God, but under the law of Christ??o as to win over those who are without any law.

but a man who has no work to offer, but has faith in him who can make the ungodly upright, has his faith credited to him as uprightness.

but who know that a man is not made upright by doing what the Law commands, but by faith in Christ Jesus??ven we believed in Christ Jesus, so as to be made upright by faith in Christ and not by doing what the Law commands??or by doing what the Law commands no one can be made upright.

But there is no comparison between God's gift and that offense. For if one man's offense made the mass of mankind die, God's mercy and his gift given through the favor of the one man Jesus Christ have far more powerfully affected mankind. Nor is there any comparison between the gift and the effects of that one man's sin. That sentence arose from the act of one man, and was for condemnation; but God's gift arose out of many offenses and results in acquittal. For if that one man's offense made death reign through that one man, all the more will those who receive God's overflowing mercy and his gift of uprightness live and reign through the one individual Jesus Christ.

I refuse to nullify the mercy of God. For if uprightness could be secured through law, then Christ died for nothing!
