Romans

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

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

For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

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

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;

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

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

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:

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

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

And the way of peace have they not known:

Destruction and misery are in their ways:

Their feet are swift to shed blood:

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
