But now without law the justice of God has been made apparent, being testified by the law and by the prophets; And the justice of God by faith of Jesus Christ to all and upon all believing: for there is no distinction:




For by grace are ye saved through faith; and this not of you: the gift of God: Not of works, lest any one should boast.


Wherefore? Because not of faith, but as of the works of the law. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone;


Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name have we cast out evil spirits, and in thy name done many powers? And then shall I confess to them that I never knew you. Go away from me, ye working iniqnity.


And if to grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. And if of works, it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

And when the kindness and philanthropy of our Saviour God was made evident, Not of works in justice which we did; but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renovation of the Holy Spirit;


Or know ye not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God Be ye not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, Nor thieves; nor covetous, nor intoxicated, nor railers, nor rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And these were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were consecrated, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

For once we also were unwise disobedient, deceived, being slaves to eager desires and various pleasures, living in vexation and envy, hated, and hating one another. And when the kindness and philanthropy of our Saviour God was made evident, Not of works in justice which we did; but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renovation of the Holy Spirit; read more.
Which he poured out upon us richly by Jesus Christ our Saviour; That justified by his grace, we might be heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Who believed in our report? and to whom was the arm of Jehovah uncovered? He shall come up as a sucking child before him, and as a root out of a land of dryness: no form to him and no decoration; and we shall see him, and no appearance and we shall desire him. He was despised and forsaken of men; a man of griefs and knowing affliction: and as hiding the faces from him; he was despised and we regarded him not read more.
Surely he lifted up our afflictions, and our griefs he carried them: and we reckoned him to be smitten, struck of God, and afflicted. And he being wounded for our transgressions, and crushed from our iniquities; the correction of our peace upon him, and in the marks of his stripes it was healed to us. All we as sheep went astray; we turned a man to his way; and Jehovah caused the iniquity of us all to fall upon him. He was pressed, and he was afflicted, and he will not open his mouth: he was brought as a sheep for the slaughter, and as a sheep before his shearers being dumb and he will not open his mouth. From constraint and from judgment was he taken, and his generation who shall comprehend? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he struck for them. And he will give with the unjust his grave, and with the rich in his deaths, for he did no violence, and no deceit in his mouth. And Jehovah inclined to crash him; piercing him when his soul shall be set a sacrifice for sin, he shall see seed, he shall prolong the days, and the delight of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand. And be shall see of the labor of his soul, he shall be satisfied: by his knowledge my just servant shall justify for many; and he shall bear their iniquities..

For this has God completed to us, their children, having raised up Jesus; as it has also been written in the second Psalms, Thou art my Son; to day have I begotten thee. And that he raised him from the dead, no more about to return to corruption, so he said, That I will give you the holy, faithful things of David. For also in another, he says, Thou shalt not give thy Holy one to see corruption. read more.
For David, truly having served his own generation by the will of God, was set to sleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption: But whom God raised up, he saw no corruption. Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that for him remission of sins is announced to you. And from all which ye could not be justified by Moses' law, every one believing in him is justified.

For all have sinned, and failed of the glory of God; Being justified as a gift by his grace by the redemption which is in Christ Jesus:

For yet Christ, we being weak, Recording to the time died for the impious. For scarcely for the just will any one die: yet for the good perhaps some also would venture to die. And God recommends his own love to us, that we yet being sinful, Christ died for us. read more.
Much more then, justified now in his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath. For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, reconciled, we shall be saved in his life. And not only, but also boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation. Therefore, as by one man sin came into the world, and by sin death; and so death passed upon all men, in that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: and sin is not charged, being no law. But death reigned from Adam to Moses, and upon them not having sinned upon the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is the type of him about to be. But not as the fall, so also the favor. For if for the fall of one many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace, of one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded to many. And not as by one having sinned, the gift: for truly the judgment of one to condemnation, but the favor of many falls to justification. For if by the fall of one, death reigned by one; much more they receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of justice in life shall reign by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the fall of one for all men to condemnation; so also by the justification of one for all men to justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were constituted sinful, so also by the obedience of one shall many be constituted just.

Knowing that a man is not justified from the works of the law, but through faith of Jesus Christ, and we believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified from the faith of Christ, and not from the works of the law: therefore from the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. And it; seeking to be justified in Christ, we were found also ourselves sinners, is Christ therefore the servant of sin? It may not be. For if what I destroy, these I build again, I unite myself with the transgressor. read more.
For I through the law died to the law, that. I might live to God. I am crucified with Christ: and I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in we: and what I now live in the flesh I live in the faith of the Son of God, having loved me, and given himself for me.

Then he said, Behold, I am here to do, O God, thy will. He takes away the first, that he might set up the second. In which will we are consecrated by the bringing in of the body of Jesus Christ once. And truly every priest has stood daily, serving and bringing in many times the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: read more.
But this, having brought in one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God; As to the rest, awaiting till his enemies be put a footstool of his feet. For by one offering has he perfected forever the consecrated.




For this has God completed to us, their children, having raised up Jesus; as it has also been written in the second Psalms, Thou art my Son; to day have I begotten thee.

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it has been written, Cursed every one who remains not in all written in the book of the law to do them. And that none is justified in the law before God, is manifest: for, The just shall live of faith.

And wilt thou know, O empty man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar Thou seest that faith cooperated with his works, and from works was faith perfected. read more.
And the writing was completed, saying, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice: and he was called the Friend of God. Therefore ye see that man is justified from works, and not from faith alone.



And certain having come down from Judea taught the brethren, That except ye be circumcised by Moses custom, ye cannot be saved. Therefore dissension and no small discussion having been to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas to go up, and certain others of them, to the sent and elders in Jerusalem about this question. Truly therefore the sent by the church passed through Phenice and Samaria, relating the turning back of the nations: and they made great joy to all the brethren. read more.
And having arrived at Jerusalem they were received by the church, and the sent and elders, and they announced what God did with them. And certain of them from the sect of the Pharisees having believed, rose up, saying, That they must be circumcised, and to enjoin to keep the law of Moses. And the sent and elders were gathered together to see about this word. And much discussion having been, Peter having risen up, said to them, Men, brethren, ye know that from ancient days God chose among us, through my month for the nations to hear the word of good news, and believe. And God the knower of hearts testified to them, having given them the Holy Spirit, as also us; And separated nothing between us and also them, by faith having purified their hearts. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But by grace of our Lord Jesus Christ we believe to be saved, as also they. And all the multitude were silent, and heard Barnabas and Paul, recounting what signs and wonders God did in the nations through them. And after they were silent, James answered, saying, Men, brethren, hear me: Simeon related how God first reviewed to take from the nations a people for his name. And with this the words of the prophets agree: as has been written, After these will I return, and rebuild the tent of David, having fallen; and its things undermined will I rebuild, and set it upright: So that they remaining of men might seek out the Lord, and all the nations upon whom my name has been called upon them, says the Lord, making all these. Known to God are all his works from eternity. Wherefore I judge, not to molest them, from the nations turning back to God: But to send to them, to keep off from pollutions of images, and harlotry, and strangulation, and blood. For Moses of ancient generations has them proclaiming him in every city, being read in the synagogues in every sabbath. Then it seemed fitting to the sent and the elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren: Having written by their hand thus; The sent and elders and brethren to the brethren in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia from the nations, health: Since we heard that certain of us having come out have troubled you with words, destroying your souls, saying, To be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we sent no word: It seemed fitting to us, having been unanimous, to send to you chosen men with our dearly beloved Barnabas and Paul, Men having delivered up their souls for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore have we sent Judas and Silas, and these by the word announcing these things. For it seemed fitting to the Holy Spirit, and to us, for no more burden to be put upon you but the necessities of these; To keep off from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and strangulation, and harlotry: from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.


And if to grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. And if of works, it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

But when I saw that they went not upon the strait road according to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, If thou, being a Jew, livest according to the nations, and not according to the Jews, why forcest thou the nations to live as the Jews? We by nature Jews, and not sinners from the nations, Knowing that a man is not justified from the works of the law, but through faith of Jesus Christ, and we believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified from the faith of Christ, and not from the works of the law: therefore from the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. read more.
And it; seeking to be justified in Christ, we were found also ourselves sinners, is Christ therefore the servant of sin? It may not be. For if what I destroy, these I build again, I unite myself with the transgressor. For I through the law died to the law, that. I might live to God. I am crucified with Christ: and I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in we: and what I now live in the flesh I live in the faith of the Son of God, having loved me, and given himself for me. I put not away the grace of God for if justice through the law, Christ died in vain.













But their minds were hardened: for until this day the same veil upon the reading of the old covenant. remains not uncovered;for in Christ it is left unemployed. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies upon their heart And whenever it turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.


Therefore now no condemnation to them in Christ Jesus, walking not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus freed me from the law of sin and death. For the impossibility of the law, in that it was weak by the flesh, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: read more.
That the justification of the law be filled up in us, not walking according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Know ye not brethren, (for I speak to them knowing law,) that law rules over man as much time as he lives? For a married woman is bound by the law to a living husband; and if the husband die, she is left inactive from the law of the husband. Wherefore, the husband living, she shall be called adulteress if she be to another man: but if the man die, she is free from the law; not to be an adulteress, being to another man. read more.
Therefore, my brethren, ye also were dead to the law by the body of Christ; for you not to be to another, but to him raised from the dead, that we bring forth fruit to God. For when we were in the flesh the passions of sins, those by the law, were energetic in our members to bring forth fruit to death. And now we were left inactive from the law, having died in what we were held; so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. What then shall we say? The law sin? It may not be. But I knew not sin except by the law: for I knew not lust, if the law said not, Thou shalt not eagerly desire. And sin, having taken occasion by the command, wrought in me every lust. For without law sin dead. And I was living without law once: and the command having come, sin came back to life, and I died. And the command was found to me which for life, this for death. For sin having taken occasion by the command, deceived me completely, and by it killed me. Therefore truly the law holy, and the command holy, and just, and good. Was then good death to me? It may not be. But sin, that it might appear sin, by the good working death in me; that sin might be sinful to excess by the command. For we know that the law is spiritual: and I am fleshly, sold under sin. For what I work I know not: for what I would not, this I do; but what I hate, this I do. And if what I would not this I do, I consent to the law that it is good. And now I no more wish it, but sin dwelling in me. For I know that in me dwells no good, (that is, in my flesh:) for to will lies near me; but to work good I find not. For not what good I would, do I; but the evil I would not, this I do. And if what I would not, this I do, I no more work it, but sin dwelling in me. I find therefore a law to me, wishing to do good, that evil lies near me. For I rejoice in the law of God, according to the man within: And I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and taking me captive to the law of sin being in my members. I an oppressed man: who shall save me from the body of this death? I return thanks to God by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore truly with the mind I serve the law of God; and with the flesh the law of sin.

Knowing that a man is not justified from the works of the law, but through faith of Jesus Christ, and we believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified from the faith of Christ, and not from the works of the law: therefore from the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. And it; seeking to be justified in Christ, we were found also ourselves sinners, is Christ therefore the servant of sin? It may not be. For if what I destroy, these I build again, I unite myself with the transgressor. read more.
For I through the law died to the law, that. I might live to God. I am crucified with Christ: and I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in we: and what I now live in the flesh I live in the faith of the Son of God, having loved me, and given himself for me. I put not away the grace of God for if justice through the law, Christ died in vain.

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it has been written, Cursed every one who remains not in all written in the book of the law to do them. And that none is justified in the law before God, is manifest: for, The just shall live of faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man having done them shall live in them. read more.
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having been a curse for us: for it has been written, Cursed every one hanging upon a tree: That the praise of Abraham might be to the nations in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

So also we, when we were children, were subjugated under the world's elements: And when the completion of the time was come, God sent his Son, born of woman, born under the law, That he might redeem them under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. read more.
And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. So that thou art no more a servant, but a son: and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ. But then truly, not having known God, ye were in a servile condition to them not being gods by nature. And now, having known God, and rather known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and poor elements, to which again ye wish anew to be in a servile condition Ye observe narrowly days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have been wearied for you in vain.

And now in Christ Jesus ye who then being far off have become near in the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, having made both one, and having loosed the middle partition wall of the enclosure; The enmity in his flesh, the law of commands in enactments, having left unemployed; that he might create in himself one new man, making peace;



Therefore now no condemnation to them in Christ Jesus, walking not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

For this has God completed to us, their children, having raised up Jesus; as it has also been written in the second Psalms, Thou art my Son; to day have I begotten thee. And that he raised him from the dead, no more about to return to corruption, so he said, That I will give you the holy, faithful things of David.

As Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice. Know ye therefore that they of faith, these are sons of Abraham. And the writing, foreseeing that of faith God justifies the nations, announced beforehand the good news to Abraham, That in thee shall all nations be praised. read more.
So that they of faith are praised with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it has been written, Cursed every one who remains not in all written in the book of the law to do them. And that none is justified in the law before God, is manifest: for, The just shall live of faith.

For the law having a shadow of good things about to be, not the same image of the things, with these sacrifices which they bring in yearly in continuance never can render perfect them coming thereto. For would they not have ceased to be brought in? because they serving have no more consciousness of sins, once purified. But in these, a reminding of sins yearly. read more.
For the blood of bulls and he-goats cannot take away sins. Wherefore coming into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering then wouldest not, but a body hast thou adjusted to me: And with whole burnt offering for sin wast thou not contented. Then said I, Behold, I am here (in the head of the book it was written of me,) O God, to do thy will. Farther back, saying, That sacrifice and bringing in and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou wouldest not, neither wert contented with; which are brought in according to law; Then he said, Behold, I am here to do, O God, thy will. He takes away the first, that he might set up the second. In which will we are consecrated by the bringing in of the body of Jesus Christ once. And truly every priest has stood daily, serving and bringing in many times the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this, having brought in one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God; As to the rest, awaiting till his enemies be put a footstool of his feet. For by one offering has he perfected forever the consecrated. And also the Holy Spirit testifies to us: for after having said before,


Knowing that a man is not justified from the works of the law, but through faith of Jesus Christ, and we believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified from the faith of Christ, and not from the works of the law: therefore from the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
