But how may a man compared unto God be justified? Or, how can he be clean, that is born of a woman?

"I know it is so of a truth: for how may a man, compared unto God, be justified?

'Shall man be more just than God? Or shall man be purer than his maker?

What is man, that he should be clean? What hath he, which is born of a woman, whereby he might be known to be righteous?

If thou, LORD wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O LORD who may abide it?

And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

Doest thou open thine eyes upon such one, and bringest me in thy judgment?

Behold, I was born in wickedness, and in sin hath my mother conceived me.

In that time shall the house of David and the citizens of Jerusalem have an open well, to wash of sin and uncleanness.

Yea and we know that whatsoever the law saith, he saith it to them which are under the law: That all mouths may be stopped, and all the world be subdued to God,

Because therefore that we are justified by faith we are at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

And such were ye verily: but ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified by the name of the Lord Jesus: And by the spirit of our God.

among which we also had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of our flesh, and fulfilled the will of the flesh, and of the mind: and were naturally the children of wrath, even as well as others.

If we knowledge our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

and from Jesus Christ which is a faithful witness, and first begotten of the dead: and Lord over the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
