Thematic Bible: Justification before God


Thematic Bible






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.






If thou, Jehovah, shalt watch iniquities, O Jehovah, who shall stand?

And thou wilt not come into judgment with thy servant, for all living shall not be justified before thee.

I knew that so the truth: and how shall man be just with God? If he shall desire to contend with him, he shall not answer him one from a thousand.

And Israel following the law of justice, reached not the law of justice. Wherefore? Because not of faith, but as of the works of the law. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone;



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.



















And ye watched my laws and my judgments, which a man shall do them, and he lived in them: I am Jehovah.

For Moses writes the justice of the law, That the man having done these things shall live in them.



Who shall demand payment for the chosen of God? God justifying. Who, he condemning Christ having died, and rather also raised again, who is at the right hand of God, and who intercedes for us.

He drawing near justifying me: who shall contend with me? we will stand together: who the lord of my judgment? he shall draw near to me.

Every vessel formed against thee shall not prosper: and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, and their justice is from me, says Jehovah.




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. read more.
And the law entered, that the fall might abound. And where sin abounded, grace superabounded: That as sin reigned in death, so grace might reign by justice to life eternal, through Jesus Christ our Lord.


Since one God, who will justify circumcision of faith, and uncircumcision by faith. Therefore shall we leave the law inactive by faith It may not be: but we should establish the law.






In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.







He drawing near justifying me: who shall contend with me? we will stand together: who the lord of my judgment? he shall draw near to me.




But surely, I also think all things to be loss for the superiority of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have been made to lose all things, and I think to be offscourings, that I shall gain Christ, And be found in him, not having my justice, that of the law, but that by faith of Christ, the justice from God by faith:


And he will answer and say to them standing before him, saying, Remove the filthy garments from off him, And he will say to him, See, I caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and clothed thee with festive garments. And saying, They shall set a pure turban upon his head; and they will set the pure turban upon his head, and they will put on the garments. And the messenger of Jehovah stood.


To David, wisdom. Happy the taking away of transgression, the covering of sin. Happy the man Jehovah will not reckon sin to him, and no deceit in his spirit




And whom he before determined, these he also called: and whom he called, these he also justified: and whom he justified, these he also glorified.


From the word of falsehood thou shalt go far away; and the innocent and the just one thou shalt not kill: for I will not justify the unjust one.




I say to you, this one went down to his house justified rather than that one: for every one lifting up himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be lifted up.
