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.

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

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:

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

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;

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.

And he had faith in the Lord, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

He is the Rock, complete is his work; for all his ways are righteousness: a God without evil who keeps faith, true and upright is he.

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.

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.

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.

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;

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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.
