Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.

Even as Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

And the holy Writings, seeing before the event that God would give the Gentiles righteousness by faith, gave the good news before to Abraham, saying, In you will all the nations have a blessing.

Now that no man gets righteousness by the law in the eyes of God, is clear; because, The upright will be living by faith.

So the law has been a servant to take us to Christ, so that we might have righteousness by faith.

For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

But if, while we were desiring to get righteousness through Christ, we ourselves were seen to be sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? In no way!

I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.

Is the law then against the words of God? in no way; because if there had been a law which was able to give life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.
