What then shall we say Abraham our father to have found, according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has boasting; but not toward God. For what says the writing? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice. read more.
And to him working, the reward is not reckoned according to favor, but according to debt. And to him not working, and believing upon him justifying the impious, his faith is reckoned for justice. As also David speaks the happiness of the man, to whom God reckons justice without works, Happy they whose iniquities were remitted, and whose sins were covered. A happy man to whom the Lord should not reckon sin. This happiness then upon circumcision, or upon uncircumcision? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for justice. How then was it reckoned? to him being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith which in uncircumcision: for him to be father of all believing through uncircumcision; for justice also to be reckoned to them: And father of circumcision to them not of circumcision only, but also to them, walking in order in the tracks of the uncircumcision, of the faith of our father Abraham. For not by the law, the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, but by the justice of faith. For if they of the law, heirs, faith was made void, and the promise left inactive: For the law works wrath: for where is no law, no transgression. Therefore of faith, that according to grace; the promise to be firm to all the seed; not to that of the law only, but also to that of the faith of Abraham; who is father of us all, (As it has been written, That have set thee father of many nations,) over against him who believed God, making alive the dead, and calling things not being as being. Who against hope believed upon hope, for him to become father of many nations, according to that said, So shall thy seed be. And not having been weak in faith, he observed not his own body already having been dead, being about a hundred years, and the death of Sarah's womb: And for the promise of God he was not separated by unbelief; but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God; And made perfectly certain that, what was promised, he is able to do. And therefore it was reckoned to him for justice.

By faith Abraham, being called, listened, to go forth into the place which he was about to receive for an inheritance; and he came out, not knowing where he is coming.

By faith Abraham had brought near Isaac, being tried: and he having received the promises brought near the only born, To whom it was spoken, That in Isaac shall seed be called to thee: Reckoning that God was also able to raise from the dead; whence he also received him in a parable.

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.

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.

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. For they being according to the flesh mind things of the flesh; and they according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For the thought of the flesh, death; and the thought of the Spirit, life and peace. Wherefore the thought of the flesh enmity to God: for it is not subject to the law of God, for it cannot be. And they being in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwell in you. And if any have not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his. And if Christ in you, truly the body dead by sin; and the Spirit life by justice. And if the Spirit of him having raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he having raised up Christ from the dead will make alive also your mortal bodies by his Spirit dwelling in you. Therefore, brethren, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die: and if by the Spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. For ye have not received the Spirit of servitude again for fear; but have received the Spirit of adoption as a son, in which we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself testifies with our spirit, that we are children of God: And if children, also heirs; truly heirs of God, and coheirs of Christ; if indeed we suffer together, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of the time now not worthy of the glory about to be revealed in us.

Brethren, truly my heart's delight and prayer to God for Israel is for salvation. For I testify for them that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For not knowing the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own justice, they have not been subjected to the justice of God. read more.
For Christ the end of the law for justice to every one believing. For Moses writes the justice of the law, That the man having done these things shall live in them. And the justice of faith says thus, Thou shouldest not say in thy heart, Who shall go up to heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:) Or, Who shall go down to the abyss? (that is, to bring up Christ from the dead.) But what does it say? The word is near thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we proclaim; For if thou confess in thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart is believed for justice: and with the mouth is confessed for salvation. For the writing says, Every one believing upon him shall not be ashamed. For no distinction is of the Jew and also of the Greek: for the same Lord of all being rich to all calling upon him. For every one whoever should call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

And the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such is no law. And they of Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and desires. read more.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

See that any return not evil to any: but always pursue good to one another, and to all. Rejoice always. Pray continually. read more.
In every thing return thanks: for this the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. Quench not the Spirit. Set not prophecies at nought. Try all things; hold the good. Keep away from all appearance of evil. And the same God of peace consecrate you perfectly compete; and your whole spirit and soul and body be kept faultless to the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If yet ye complete the royal law according to the writing, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well: And if ye make distinction of faces, ye work sin, being convicted under the law as transgressors. For whoever shall keep the whole law, and stumble in one, has become bound of all. read more.
For he having said, Thou shouldest not commit adultery, said also, Thou shouldest not kill: and if thou commit not adultery, and dost kill, thou hast become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as about to be judged by the law of liberty. For unpropitiated judgment to him not doing mercy; and mercy boasteth against judgment. And what profit, my brethren, if any say he has faith, and should not have works? can faith save him? And if a brother or sister be naked, and be failing of daily food, And any of you say to them, Retire in peace, be ye warmed and be ye fed; and ye give them not things fitting the body; what profit? So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself. But certain will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith from my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: and the evil spirits believe, and shudder. 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. 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 likewise also was not Rehab the harlot justified by works, having received the messengers, and cast out by another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
