What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:

For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.

and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision; that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;

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

whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance 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.

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.

But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:)
