For God's word, that the earth would be his heritage, was given to Abraham, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.

For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.

Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope.
