Which is

For what are the words of Scripture? 'Abraham had faith in God, and his faith was regarded by God as righteousness.'

Therefore, having been pronounced righteous as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in union with Christ Jesus;

Any righteousness that I have being, not the righteousness that results from Law, but the righteousness which comes through faith in Christ--the righteousness which is derived from God and is founded on faith.

Unto all

In precisely the same way David speaks of the blessing pronounced upon the man who is regarded by God as righteous apart from actions--

So we placed our faith in Christ Jesus, in order that we might be pronounced righteous, as the result of faith in Christ, and not of obedience to Law; for such obedience 'will not result in even one soul's being pronounced righteous.'

It is just as it was with Abraham--'He had faith in God, and his faith was regarded by God as righteousness.'

And that in this way the words of Scripture came true-- "Abraham believed God, and that was regarded by God as righteousness," and "He was called the friend of God."

And upon

You see, then, that those whose lives are based on faith are the Sons of Abraham.

For there

Therefore you have nothing to say in your own defense, whoever you are who set yourself up as a judge. In judging others you condemn yourself, for you who set yourself up as a judge do the very same things.

For no distinction is made between the Jew and the Greek, for all have the same Lord, and he is bountiful to all who invoke him.

He made no distinction between them and us, when he purified their hearts by their faith.

For who makes any one of you superior to others? And what have you that was not given you? But if you received it as a gift, why do you boast as if you had not?

All distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and freeman, male and female, have vanished; for in union with Christ Jesus you are all one.

In that new life there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman; but Christ is all!--and in all!

General references

For we conclude that a man is pronounced righteous on the ground of faith, quite apart from obedience to Law.
