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

He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification.

What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase?

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not!

You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who has ever resisted his will?”

but Israel even though pursuing a law of righteousness did not attain it.

For Christ is the end of the law, with the result that there is righteousness for everyone who believes.

For Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: “The one who does these things will live by them.”

For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation.

Consequently faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the preached word of Christ.

So in the same way at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.

Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath of the authorities but also because of your conscience.

Listen, I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed –

For if there was glory in the ministry that produced condemnation, how much more does the ministry that produces righteousness excel in glory!

(for he who empowered Peter for his apostleship to the circumcised also empowered me for my apostleship to the Gentiles)

Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith.

to redeem those who were under the law, so that we may be adopted as sons with full rights.

For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait expectantly for the hope of righteousness.

Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it.

Neither should there be vulgar speech, foolish talk, or coarse jesting – all of which are out of character – but rather thanksgiving.
