But to

but for us also, to whom it shall be accounted, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

that divine justification, which by faith in Jesus Christ is extended to all, that believe; for there is no distinction:

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ,

because being ignorant of the justice which is of God, and going about to establish a justification of their own, they have not submitted themselves to that which is of God.

know then, my brethren, it is by him, that the remission of sins is offer'd to you:

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in him, and not by the works of the law, by which there is no justification.

so that it is they who believe, who are blessed with Abraham, who did believe.

and be his true disciple, not professing that justification, which is derived from the law, but that which is from the gospel,

Believeth

but for us also, to whom it shall be accounted, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

and the scripture insinuating, that God would justify the Gentiles thro' faith, gave Abraham an intimation of the gospel in these words, " in thee shall all nations be blessed."

Ungodly

There it is that divine justification is revealed to be wholly by faith: as it is written, " the just shall live by faith."

for at the appointed time Christ died for us, when we were in a helpless, sinful state.

Know you not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? be not deceived: neither the licentious, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor the brutal,

who was before a blasphemer, and a violent persecutor; but I obtained mercy, because I acted thro' ignorance in incrudelity.

for even we ourselves were once inconsiderate, disobedient, deluded, addicted to variety of passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, the deserving objects of mutual hatred.

His faith

for what saith the scripture? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness."
