Is this blessedness ¹  then for ²  the circumcision ³  or also for ⁴  the uncircumcision? For we say, “faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.” ⁵ 

But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ¹  ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” ²  (that is, to bring Christ down)

And if it is by grace, it is no longer by works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

Now we know that God’s judgment is in accordance with truth ¹  against those who practice such things.

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

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

For Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: “The one who does these things will live by them.” ¹

But because of your stubbornness ¹  and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed! ²

because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.

But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” ¹  (that is, the word of faith that we preach),

Greet Mary, who has worked very hard for you.

But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, ¹  his faith is credited as righteousness.

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

For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!

For the creation was subjected to futility – not willingly but because of God ¹  who subjected it – in hope

Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Seeing that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,
