And he received the outward sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all the uncircumcised who have faith, so that righteousness might be put to their account also;

What then shall we say? That the gentiles, who did not strive after righteousness, obtained righteousness, but a righteousness which is of faith;

For therein is revealed the righteousness which is of God from faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."

but to him who without performing works hath faith in him who accepteth as righteous one that hath been ungodly, his faith is accounted as righteousness;

even the righteousness which is of God through faith in Jesus Christ, hath been made manifest to all and for all believers. For there is no distinction.

whom, in his blood, through faith, God hath set forth as a propitiatory sacrifice, in order to manifest his righteousness, on account of his passing by, in his forbearance, the sins committed in former times;

in order to manifest his righteousness at the present time, so that he may be righteous, and accept as righteous him who hath faith.

For what saith the scripture? "Abraham had faith in God, and it was accounted unto him as righteousness."

Doth this blessedness belong to the circumcised alone, or to the uncircumcised also? For we are saying that Abrahams faith was accounted as righteousness.

For not through the Law was the promise made to Abraham or his offspring that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

For being ignorant of the righteousness which is of God, and endeavoring to establish a righteousness of their own, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness which is of God.

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

As then through one trespass all men have come under condemnation, so through one act of righteousness all obtain the gift of righteousness unto life.

while Israel, which strove after a law of righteousness, did not attain to a law of righteousness.

But if our unrighteousness serve to display the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicteth punishment? (I am speaking as men do.)

But now, apart from the Law, the righteousness which is of God, to which the Law and the Prophets bear testimony,

And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.
