Justification By Faith Alone

having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.

Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned--to righteousness:

not having my righteousness, which <FI>is<Fi> of law, but that which <FI>is<Fi> through faith of Christ--the righteousness that is of God by the faith,

for what doth the writing say? `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him--to righteousness;'

for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you--of God the gift, — read the full passage →

for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you--of God the gift,

Ye see, then, that out of works is man declared righteous, and not out of faith only;

`Verily, verily, I say to you--He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness <FI>be<Fi> through law--then Christ died in vain.

wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

for God did so love the world, that His Son--the only begotten--He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace becometh no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace, otherwise the work is no more work.

so that the law became our child-conductor--to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,

and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him--to righteousness;' and, `Friend of God' he was called.

for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

And he hath believed in Jehovah, and He reckoneth it to him--righteousness.

Because of this <FI>it is<Fi> of faith, that <FI>it may be<Fi> according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which <FI>is<Fi> of the law only, but also to that which <FI>is<Fi> of the faith of Abraham,

but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God--to those believing in his name,

What, then, shall we say Abraham our father, to have found, according to flesh? — read the full passage →

and the righteousness of God <FI>is<Fi> through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, --for there is no difference,

and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved--thou and thy house;'

he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'

And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead?

What <FI>is<Fi> the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him?

My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, — read the full passage →

For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, `And the righteous one by faith shall live,'

and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,

What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that <FI>is<Fi> of faith,

for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who <FI>is<Fi> of the faith of Jesus.

being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that <FI>is<Fi> in Christ Jesus,

and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham--

much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath;

and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because `The righteous by faith shall live;'

but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.

For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,

What <FI>is<Fi> the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him? — read the full passage →

so that if any one <FI>is<Fi> in Christ--<FI> he is<Fi> a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.

he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh--in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

(not by works that <FI>are<Fi> in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness,) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,

according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him--to righteousness;

but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'

that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.

that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,

yes, also of nations; since one <FI>is<Fi> God who shall declare righteous the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith.

in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth--the good news of your salvation--in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.'

for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you--of God the gift, — read the full passage →

who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.

through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.

for not the hearers of the law <FI>are<Fi> righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be declared righteous: --

for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.

so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself.

for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one <FI>point<Fi> , he hath become guilty of all;

Where then <FI>is<Fi> the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith:

So, then, as through one offence to all men <FI>it is<Fi> to condemnation, so also through one declaration of `Righteous' <FI>it is<Fi> to all men to justification of life;

whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God--

for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God--

and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;

for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

`Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

They said therefore unto him, `What may we do that we may work the works of God?' — read the full passage →

to open their eyes, to turn <FI>them<Fi> from darkness to light, and <FI>from<Fi> the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that <FI>is<Fi> toward me.

on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;

and Peter said unto them, `Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,

he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.

and of Him ye--ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

for with the heart doth <FI>one<Fi> believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;

Abraham our father--was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar?

for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed <FI>is<Fi> every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law--to do them,'

according as it hath been written--`There is none righteous, not even one;

There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;

ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;

for the wages of the sin <FI>is<Fi> death, and the gift of God <FI>is<Fi> life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.

so then the faith <FI>is<Fi> by a report, and the report through a saying of God,

and saying--`Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.'

Lo, a presumptuous one! Not upright is his soul within him, And the righteous by his stedfastness liveth.

that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved, — read the full passage →

for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.

reform ye, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am <FI>he<Fi> , ye shall die in your sins.'

and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.'

and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety--God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!

So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

Every one who is doing the sin, the lawlessness also he doth do, and the sin is the lawlessness,

through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name;
