For in the gospel God's righteousness is being revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, "The righteous will live by faith."

But because of your stubborn and unrepentant heart you are reserving wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.

For it is not merely those who hear the Law who are righteous in God's sight. No, it is those who follow the Law, who will be justified.

As it is written, "Not even one person is righteous.

He wanted to demonstrate at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies anyone who has the faithfulness of Jesus.

Likewise, David also speaks of the blessedness of the person whom God regards as righteous apart from actions:

For it is rare for anyone to die for a righteous person, though somebody might be brave enough to die for a good person.

For just as through one man's disobedience many people were made sinners, so also through one man's obedience many people will be made righteous.

so that the righteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not live according to human nature but according to the Spirit.
