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.

For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith.

And be seen in him, not having my righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

But to him who without working has faith in him who gives righteousness to the evil-doer, his faith is put to his account as righteousness.

What then may we say? That the nations who did not go after righteousness have got righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:

And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you had no faith in him, but the tax-farmers and the loose women had faith in him: and you, when you saw it, did not even have regret for your sins, so as to have faith in him.

By faith Noah, being moved by the fear of God, made ready an ark for the salvation of his family, because God had given him news of things which were not seen at the time; and through it the world was judged by him, and he got for his heritage the righteousness which is by faith.

That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another,

If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision.

And he was given the sign of circumcision as a witness of the faith which he had before he underwent circumcision: so that he might be the father of all those who have faith, though they have not circumcision, and so that righteousness might be put to their account;

A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make men give a tenth of all sorts of sweet-smelling plants, but you give no thought to the more important things of the law, righteousness, and mercy, and faith; but it is right for you to do these, and not to let the others be undone.

Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.

Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.

The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face.

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.

Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;

But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.

But keep yourself from those desires of the flesh which are strong when the body is young, and go after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those whose prayers go up to the Lord from a clean heart.

By faith Abel made a better offering to God than Cain, and he had witness through it of his righteousness, God giving his approval of his offering: and his voice still comes to us through it though he is dead.

Who through faith overcame kingdoms, did righteousness, got their reward, kept the mouths of lions shut,

And the holy Writings were put into effect which said, And Abraham had faith in God and it was put to his account as righteousness; and he was named the friend of God.

You see that a man's righteousness is judged by his works and not by his faith only.

Simon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who with us have a part in the same holy faith in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

But having faith in his word, we are looking for a new heaven and a new earth, which will be the resting-place of righteousness.

And righteousness will be the cord of his robe, and good faith the band round his breast.

And the right is turned back, and righteousness is far away: for good faith is not to be seen in the public places, and upright behaviour may not come into the town.

Give ear to me, you feeble-hearted, who have no faith in my righteousness:

And you will take your oath, By the living Lord, in good faith and wisdom and righteousness; and the nations will make use of you as a blessing, and in you will they take a pride.

When I say to the upright that life will certainly be his; if he puts his faith in his righteousness and does evil, not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory; but in the evil he has done, death will overtake him.

And I will make them come and be living in Jerusalem and they will be to me a people and I will be to them a God, in good faith and in righteousness.

Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.

But what does it say in the holy Writings? And Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

Is this blessing, then, for the circumcision only, or in the same way for those who have not circumcision? for we say that the faith of Abraham was put to his account as righteousness.

For God's word, that the earth would be his heritage, was given to Abraham, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who has faith.

But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down:)

For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with the mouth he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation.

Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness.

Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.

Do not keep company with those who have not faith: for what is there in common between righteousness and evil, or between light and dark?

The works of his hands are faith and righteousness; all his laws are unchanging.

They are fixed for ever and ever, they are done in faith and righteousness.

Before the Lord, for he is come; he is come to be the judge of the earth; the earth will be judged in righteousness, and the peoples with unchanging faith.

Because, not having knowledge of God's righteousness, and desiring to give effect to their righteousness, they have not put themselves under the righteousness of God.

And the Lord will give to every man the reward of his righteousness and his faith: because the Lord gave you into my hands today, and I would not put out my hand against the man who has been marked with the holy oil.

Give the offerings of righteousness, and put your faith in the Lord.

Your righteousness is an unchanging righteousness, and your law is certain.

He who goes after righteousness and mercy will get life, righteousness, and honour.

Let righteousness come down, O heavens, from on high, and let the sky send it down like rain: let the earth be open to give the fruit of salvation, causing righteousness to come up with it; I the Lord have made it come about.

In those days and at that time, I will let a Branch of righteousness come up for David; and he will be a judge in righteousness in the land.

And you, son of man, say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the upright man will not make him safe in the day when he does wrong; and the evil-doing of the evil man will not be the cause of his fall in the day when he is turned from his evil-doing; and the upright man will not have life because of his righteousness in the day when he does evil.

Put in the seed of righteousness, get in your grain in mercy, let your unploughed earth be turned up: for it is time to make search for the Lord, till he comes and sends righteousness on you like rain.

For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.

So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.

And those who were marked out by him were named; and those who were named were given righteousness; and to those to whom he gave righteousness, in the same way he gave glory.

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

But God has given you a place in Christ Jesus, through whom God has given us wisdom and righteousness and salvation, and made us holy:

And such were some of you; but you have been washed, you have been made holy, you have been given righteousness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

Even so you seem to men to be full of righteousness, but inside you are all false and full of wrongdoing.

Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.

May there be knowledge of your wonders in the dark? or of your righteousness where memory is dead?

In your name will they have joy all the day: in your righteousness will they be lifted up.

But decisions will again be made in righteousness; and they will be kept by all whose hearts are true.

Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour.

My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.

I will give news of the great acts of the Lord God; my words will be of your righteousness, and of yours only.

Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?

My tongue will be talking of your righteousness all the day; for those whose purpose is to do me evil have been crushed and put to shame.

May he be a judge of your people in righteousness, and make true decisions for the poor.

May the mountains give peace to the people, and the hills righteousness.

As for me, I have made my heart clean to no purpose, washing my hands in righteousness;

When the right time has come, I will be the judge in 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.

And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.

(Because the fruit of the light is in all righteousness and in everything which is good and true),

Take your place, then, having your body clothed with the true word, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness;

Being full of the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

In bitter hate I was cruel to the church; I kept all the righteousness of the law to the last detail.

To be trained in the ways of wisdom, in righteousness and judging truly and straight behaviour:

Then you will have knowledge of righteousness and right acting, and upright behaviour, even of every good way.

See how great is my desire for your orders: give me life in your righteousness.

My eyes are wasted with desire for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness.

O Lord, great is your righteousness, and upright are your decisions.

You have given your unchanging word in righteousness, and it is for ever.

The righteousness of your unchanging word is eternal; give me wisdom so that I may have life.

Let my tongue make songs in praise of your word; for all your teachings are righteousness.
