For we consider that a person is declared righteous by faith apart from the works of the law.

(For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)

And those he predestined, he also called; and those he called, he also justified; and those he justified, he also glorified.

But they are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

For if Abraham was declared righteous by the works of the law, he has something to boast about – but not before God.

Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous before God, but those who do the law will be declared righteous.

For no one is declared righteous before him by the works of the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

Since God is one, he will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be saved through him from God’s wrath.

But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness.

Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human being shown up as a liar, just as it is written: “so that you will be justified in your words and will prevail when you are judged.”

This was also to demonstrate his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness.
