What shall we say then? that the Gentiles, who sought not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith;

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had in uncircumcision: that he might be the father of all that believe though not circumcised, that righteousness may be imputed to them also:

for the righteousness of God is therein revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

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

and this righteousness of God is by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all believers; for there is no difference;

whom God hath appointed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, in the remission of past sins, according to the forbearance of God;

but to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

Now is this blessedness upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? for we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

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

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh thus, "Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, (that is, to bring Christ down) or,

but Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness: why?

"But if our unrighteousness confirm the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is not God unrighteous, who inflicteth his wrath?" (I speak as a man) God forbid:

But now, without the law, righteousness before God is manifested, being attested by the law and the prophets;

for a demonstration, I say, of his righteousness at this time: that He might be just, and the justifier of him, that believeth in Jesus.

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

As David also describeth the blessedness of the man to whom: God imputeth righteousness without works, saying,

and therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

For if, by the offence of one, death reigned through one, much more they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life through one, even Jesus Christ.

Therefore as by the offence of one the effect of it was upon all men to condemnation: so also by the righteousness of one, the effect was upon all men to justification of life.

so grace might reign through righteousness, unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Neither yield your bodies as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

God forbid! Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves servants to obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey? either of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

and being set free from sin, ye are become the servants of righteousness.

I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh: as ye have yielded your bodies servants to impurity and iniquity to work iniquity; so now present your bodies servants to righteousness, unto holiness.

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

that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.

And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

For in finishing the account and cutting it short in righteousness, the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.

For Christ is the end of the law, for righteousness to every believer.

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, "That the man who doth those things shall live by them."

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

but in righteousness and peace, and joy in the holy Ghost: for he,
