And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while in uncircumcision; that he might be father of all who believe while in uncircumcision, that the righteousness might be reckoned to them;

What, then, shall we say? that gentiles who were not following after righteous obtained righteousness, but a righteousness which is of faith;

for in it is revealed God's righteousness, from faith to faith; as it has been written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."

even a righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all who believe; for there is no distinction;

Whom God set forth as a propitiation, through faith in His blood, for the manifestation of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the formerly-committed sins in the forbearance of God:

for the manifestation of His righteousness in the present time, to the end that He may be righteous, even when declaring righteous him who has faith in Jesus.

but to him that works not, but believes on Him Who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

Does this happiness, therefore, come upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? For we say, "Faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness."

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

but the righteousness which is of faith speaks thus: "Say not in your heart, who shall ascend up into Heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down);

for, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God;

But, if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous, Who visits with wrath? (I speak after the manner of a man).

But now, apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness."

Even as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God reckoneth righteousness, apart from works,

Wherefore also it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
