Righteousness and Justification

But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

The righteousness of God revealed apart from the law, through faith in Jesus Christ; God just, and the justifier.

Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

The righteousness of God revealed apart from the law, through faith in Jesus Christ; God just, and the justifier.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

The righteousness of God revealed apart from the law, through faith in Jesus Christ; God just, and the justifier.

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

The righteousness of God revealed apart from the law, through faith in Jesus Christ; God just, and the justifier.

Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

The righteousness of God revealed apart from the law, through faith in Jesus Christ; God just, and the justifier.

To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

The righteousness of God revealed apart from the law, through faith in Jesus Christ; God just, and the justifier.

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

A man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
