What shall we say then? That nations who did not pursue righteousness attained a righteousness, but the righteousness which is by faith;

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

For God's righteousness is revealed in it by faith in the faith [the gospel]; as it is written; The righteous shall live by faith.

And he received the symbol of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which was in uncircumcision, so that he became the father of all that believe in uncircumcision, that righteousness may also be accounted to them,

By faith Noah having been divinely instructed concerning things not yet seen, fearing built the ark for the salvation of his house, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness by faith.

but God's righteousness is through the faith of Jesus Christ, in all and upon all that believe. For there is no difference;

whom God set forth [to be] a propitiator through faith in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing by of the errors committed previously in the forbearance of God,

to show his righteousness at the present time, that he may be righteous and justify him that is of faith.

But to one that works not, but believes on him that justifies the wicked, his faith is [accounted] for righteousness.

Is this blessedness then on the circumcision? or also on the uncircumcision? [Also on the uncircumcision.] For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

For the promise to Abraham and his posterity that he should inherit the world was not through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

But the righteousness by faith speaks thus; Say not in your mind, who shall ascend into heaven???hat is, to bring Christ down,??7 or who shall descend into the abyss???hat is, to bring Christ up from the dead.

For we wait in spirit for the hope of righteousness, by faith.

But do you, O man of God, avoid these things; but pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, patience, meekness.

But avoid youthful desires, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

who by faith subdued kingdoms, performed righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

SIMEON Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
