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

What then? If some did not believe, does their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God?

But now apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) has been disclosed –

namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction,

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

For what does the scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

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

For this reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants devoted to governing.

For the one who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people.

so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth to confirm the promises made to the fathers,

God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
