What shall we say then? That the Gentiles who followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith:

For the righteousness of God is revealed therein from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith, which he had in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all who believe in uncircumcision, that righteousness may be imputed to them also,

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Flee also youthful desires; but follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace with them that call upon the Lord, out of a pure heart.
