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

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith, which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they are not circumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also;

For in this is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Even the righteousness of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference:

Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

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

But the righteousness which is by faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down.)

For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.

But Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

Therefore, if the uncircumcision keepeth the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man.)

But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being testified by the law and the prophets;

To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he may be just, and the justifier of him who believeth in Jesus.

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

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man to whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they who receive abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.

Therefore, as by the offense of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men to justification of life.

That as sin hath reigned to death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin: but yield yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God:

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants in obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity, to (work) iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness, to (work) holiness.

For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

That the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, That the man who doeth these things shall live by them.

For with the heart man believeth to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
