A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed--that is (as the whole argument of the Epistle shows), GOD'S JUSTIFYING RIGHTEOUSNESS.

from faith to faith--a difficult clause. Most interpreters (judging from the sense of such phrases elsewhere) take it to mean, "from one degree of faith to another." But this agrees ill with the apostle's design, which has nothing to do with the progressive stages of faith, but solely with faith itself as the appointed way of receiving God's "righteousness." We prefer, therefore, to understand it thus: "The righteousness of God is in the gospel message, revealed (to be) from (or 'by') faith to (or 'for') faith," that is, "in order to be by faith received." (So substantially, MELVILLE, MEYER, STUART, BLOOMFIELD, &c.).

as it is written-- (Hab 2:4).

The just shall live by faith--This golden maxim of the Old Testament is thrice quoted in the New Testament--here; Gal 3:11; Heb 10:38 --showing that the gospel way of "LIFE BY FAITH," so far from disturbing, only continued and developed the ancient method.

On the foregoing verses, Note (1) What manner of persons ought the ministers of Christ to be, according to the pattern here set up: absolutely subject and officially dedicated to the Lord Jesus; separated unto the gospel of God, which contemplates the subjugation of all nations to the faith of Christ: debtors to all classes, the refined and the rude, to bring the gospel to them all alike, all shame in the presence of the one, as well as pride before the other, sinking before the glory which they feel to be in their message; yearning over all faithful churches, not lording it over them, but rejoicing in their prosperity, and finding refreshment and strength in their fellowship! (2) The peculiar features of the gospel here brought prominently forward should be the devout study of all who preach it, and guide the views and the taste of all who are privileged statedly to hear it: that it is "the gospel of God," as a message from heaven, yet not absolutely new, but on the contrary, only the fulfilment of Old Testament promise, that not only is Christ the great theme of it, but Christ in the very nature of God as His own Son, and in the nature of men as partaker of their flesh--the Son of God now in resurrection--power and invested with authority to dispense all grace to men, and all gifts for the establishment and edification of the Church, Christ the righteousness provided of God for the justification of all that believe in His name; and that in this glorious Gospel, when preached as such, there resides the very power of God to save Jew and Gentile alike who embrace it. (3) While Christ is to be regarded as the ordained Channel of all grace from God to men (Rom 1:8), let none imagine that His proper divinity is in any respect compromised by this arrangement, since He is here expressly associated with "God the Father," in prayer for "grace and peace" (including all spiritual blessings) to rest upon this Church (Rom 1:7). (4) While this Epistle teaches, in conformity with the teaching of our Lord Himself, that all salvation is suspended upon faith, this is but half a truth, and will certainly minister to self-righteousness, if dissociated from another feature of the same truth, here explicitly taught, that this faith in God's own gift--for which accordingly in the case of the Roman believers, he "thanks his God through Jesus Christ" (Rom 1:8). (5) Christian fellowship, as indeed all real fellowship, is a mutual benefit; and as it is not possible for the most eminent saints and servants of Christ to impart any refreshment and profit to the meanest of their brethren without experiencing a rich return into their bosoms, so just in proportion to their humility and love will they feel their need of it and rejoice in it.

8 First [4412] [3303], I thank [2168] my [3450] God [2316] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] for [5228] you [5216] all [3956], that [3754] your [5216] faith [4102] is spoken [2605] of throughout [1722] the whole [3650] world [2889].
7 To all [3956] that be [5607] in [1722] Rome [4516], beloved [27] of God [2316], called [2822] to be saints [40]: Grace [5485] to you [5213] and [2532] peace [1515] from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962], and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
8 First [4412] [3303], I thank [2168] my [3450] God [2316] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] for [5228] you [5216] all [3956], that [3754] your [5216] faith [4102] is spoken [2605] of throughout [1722] the whole [3650] world [2889].
38 Now [1161] the just [1342] shall live [2198] by [1537] faith [4102]: but [2532] if [1437] any man draw back [5288], my [3450] soul [5590] shall have [2106] no [3756] pleasure [2106] in [1722] him [846].
11 But [1161] that [3754] no man [3762] is justified [1344] by [1722] the law [3551] in the sight [3844] of God [2316], it is evident [1212]: for [3754], The just [1342] shall live [2198] by [1537] faith [4102].
4 Behold, his soul [05315] which is lifted up [06075] is not upright [03474] in him: but the just [06662] shall live [02421] by his faith [0530].
6 For [1063] to be [5427] carnally [4561] minded [5427] is death [2288]; but [1161] to be [5427] spiritually [4151] minded [5427] is life [2222] and [2532] peace [1515].
18 Therefore [686] [3767] as [5613] by [1223] the offence [3900] of one [1520] judgment came upon [1519] all [3956] men [444] to [1519] condemnation [2631]; even [2532] so [3779] by [1223] the righteousness [1345] of one [1520] the free gift came upon [1519] all [3956] men [444] unto [1519] justification [1347] of life [2222].
28 Thou hast made known [1107] to me [3427] the ways [3598] of life [2222]; thou shalt make [4137] me [3165] full [4137] of joy [2167] with [3326] thy [4675] countenance [4383].
31 But [1161] these [5023] are written [1125], that [2443] ye might believe [4100] that [3754] Jesus [2424] is [2076] the Christ [5547], the Son [5207] of God [2316]; and [2532] that [2443] believing [4100] ye might have [2192] life [2222] through [1722] his [846] name [3686].
53 Then [3767] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Except [3362] ye eat [5315] the flesh [4561] of the Son [5207] of man [444], and [2532] drink [4095] his [846] blood [129], ye have [2192] no [3756] life [2222] in [1722] you [1438].
51 I [1473] am [1510] the living [2198] bread [740] which [3588] came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772]: if [1437] any man [5100] eat [5315] of [1537] this [5127] bread [740], he shall live [2198] for [1519] ever [165]: and [1161] [2532] the bread [740] that [3739] I [1473] will give [1325] is [2076] my [3450] flesh [4561], which [3739] I [1473] will give [1325] for [5228] the life [2222] of the world [2889].
33 For [1063] the bread [740] of God [2316] is he [2076] which [3588] cometh down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], and [2532] giveth [1325] life [2222] unto the world [2889].
40 And [2532] ye will [2309] not [3756] come [2064] to [4314] me [3165], that [2443] ye might have [2192] life [2222].
29 And [2532] shall come forth [1607]; they that have done [4160] good [18], unto [1519] the resurrection [386] of life [2222]; and [1161] they that have done [4238] evil [5337], unto [1519] the resurrection [386] of damnation [2920].
36 He that believeth [4100] on [1519] the Son [5207] hath [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222]: and [1161] he that believeth not [544] the Son [5207] shall [3700] not [3756] see [3700] life [2222]; but [235] the wrath [3709] of God [2316] abideth [3306] on [1909] him [846].
1 And [2532] you [5209] hath he quickened, who were [5607] dead [3498] in trespasses [3900] and [2532] sins [266];
4 And declared [3724] to be the Son [5207] of God [2316] with [1722] power [1411], according [2596] to the spirit [4151] of holiness [42], by [1537] the resurrection [386] from the dead [3498]:
3 And [1161] thinkest thou [3049] this [5124], O [5599] man [444], that judgest [2919] them which do [4238] such things [5108], and [2532] doest [4160] the same [846], that [3754] thou [4771] shalt escape [1628] the judgment [2917] of God [2316]?
6 Among [1722] whom [3739] are [2075] ye [5210] also [2532] the called [2822] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
7 To all [3956] that be [5607] in [1722] Rome [4516], beloved [27] of God [2316], called [2822] to be saints [40]: Grace [5485] to you [5213] and [2532] peace [1515] from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962], and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
8 First [4412] [3303], I thank [2168] my [3450] God [2316] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] for [5228] you [5216] all [3956], that [3754] your [5216] faith [4102] is spoken [2605] of throughout [1722] the whole [3650] world [2889].
9 For [1063] God [2316] is [2076] my [3450] witness [3144], whom [3739] I serve [3000] with [1722] my [3450] spirit [4151] in [1722] the gospel [2098] of his [846] Son [5207], that [5613] without ceasing [89] I make [4160] mention [3417] of you [5216] always [3842] in [1909] my [3450] prayers [4335];
10 Making request [1189], if by any means [1513] now [2235] at length [4218] I might have a prosperous journey [2137] by [1722] the will [2307] of God [2316] to come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209].
4 Behold, his soul [05315] which is lifted up [06075] is not upright [03474] in him: but the just [06662] shall live [02421] by his faith [0530].
16 For [1063] I am [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870] of the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]: for [1063] it is [2076] the power [1411] of God [2316] unto [1519] salvation [4991] to every one [3956] that believeth [4100]; to the Jew [2453] first [4412], and [5037] also [2532] to the Greek [1672].
22 Even [1161] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] which is by [1223] faith [4102] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] unto [1519] all [3956] and [2532] upon [1909] all [3956] them that believe [4100]: for [1063] there is [2076] no [3756] difference [1293]:
6 But [1161] the righteousness [1343] which is of [1537] faith [4102] speaketh [3004] on this wise [3779], Say [2036] not [3361] in [1722] thine [4675] heart [2588], Who [5101] shall ascend [305] into [1519] heaven [3772]? (that is [5123], to bring [2609] Christ [5547] down [2609] from above:)
32 Wherefore [1302]? Because [3754] they sought it not [3756] by [1537] faith [4102], but [235] as [5613] it were by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551]. For [1063] they stumbled [4350] at that stumblingstone [3037] [4348];
30 What [5101] shall we say [2046] then [3767]? That [3754] the Gentiles [1484], which [3588] followed [1377] not [3361] after righteousness [1343], have attained [2638] to righteousness [1343], even [1161] the righteousness [1343] which [3588] is of [1537] faith [4102].
30 Seeing [1897] it is one [1520] God [2316], which [3739] shall justify [1344] the circumcision [4061] by [1537] faith [4102], and [2532] uncircumcision [203] through [1223] faith [4102].
22 Even [1161] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] which is by [1223] faith [4102] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] unto [1519] all [3956] and [2532] upon [1909] all [3956] them that believe [4100]: for [1063] there is [2076] no [3756] difference [1293]:
3 For [1063] what [5101] saith [3004] the scripture [1124]? [1161] Abraham [11] believed [4100] God [2316], and [2532] it was counted [3049] unto him [846] for [1519] righteousness [1343].
3 For [1063] they being ignorant [50] of God's [2316] righteousness [1343], and [2532] going about [2212] to establish [2476] their own [2398] righteousness [1343], have [5293] not [3756] submitted themselves [5293] unto the righteousness [1343] of God [2316].
9 And [2532] be found [2147] in [1722] him [846], not [3361] having [2192] mine own [1699] righteousness [1343], which [3588] is of [1537] the law [3551], but [235] that which [3588] is through [1223] the faith [4102] of Christ [5547], the righteousness [1343] which [3588] is of [1537] God [2316] by [1909] faith [4102]:
21 For [1063] he hath made [4160] him to be sin [266] for [5228] us [2257], who [3588] knew [1097] no [3361] sin [266]; that [2443] we [2249] might be made [1096] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] in [1722] him [846].
19 For [1063] as [5618] by [1223] one [1520] man's [444] disobedience [3876] many [4183] were made [2525] sinners [268], so [3779] [2532] by [1223] the obedience [5218] of one [1520] shall [2525] many [4183] be made [2525] righteous [1342].
18 Therefore [686] [3767] as [5613] by [1223] the offence [3900] of one [1520] judgment came upon [1519] all [3956] men [444] to [1519] condemnation [2631]; even [2532] so [3779] by [1223] the righteousness [1345] of one [1520] the free gift came upon [1519] all [3956] men [444] unto [1519] justification [1347] of life [2222].
17 For [1063] if [1487] by one man's [1520] offence [3900] death [2288] reigned [936] by [1223] one [1520]; much [4183] more [3123] they which receive [2983] abundance [4050] of grace [5485] and [2532] of the gift [1431] of righteousness [1343] shall reign [936] in [1722] life [2222] by [1223] one [1520], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].)
21 But [1161] now [3570] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] without [5565] the law [3551] is manifested [5319], being witnessed [3140] by [5259] the law [3551] and [2532] the prophets [4396];
24 Seventy [07657] weeks [07620] are determined [02852] upon thy people [05971] and upon thy holy [06944] city [05892], to finish [03607] the transgression [06588], and to make an end [08552] [02856] of sins [02403], and to make reconciliation [03722] for iniquity [05771], and to bring in [0935] everlasting [05769] righteousness [06664], and to seal up [02856] the vision [02377] and prophecy [05030], and to anoint [04886] the most [06944] Holy [06944].
1 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Keep [08104] ye judgment [04941], and do [06213] justice [06666]: for my salvation [03444] is near [07138] to come [0935], and my righteousness [06666] to be revealed [01540].
6 Also the sons [01121] of the stranger [05236], that join [03867] themselves to the LORD [03068], to serve [08334] him, and to love [0157] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], to be his servants [05650], every one that keepeth [08104] the sabbath [07676] from polluting [02490] it, and taketh hold [02388] of my covenant [01285];
5 Even unto them will I give [05414] in mine house [01004] and within my walls [02346] a place [03027] and a name [08034] better [02896] than of sons [01121] and of daughters [01323]: I will give [05414] them an everlasting [05769] name [08034], that shall not be cut off [03772].
30 What [5101] shall we say [2046] then [3767]? That [3754] the Gentiles [1484], which [3588] followed [1377] not [3361] after righteousness [1343], have attained [2638] to righteousness [1343], even [1161] the righteousness [1343] which [3588] is of [1537] faith [4102].
13 For [1063] the promise [1860], that he should be [1511] the [846] heir [2818] of the world [2889], was not [3756] to Abraham [11], or [2228] to his [846] seed [4690], through [1223] the law [3551], but [235] through [1223] the righteousness [1343] of faith [4102].
6 Even as [2509] David [1138] also [2532] describeth [3004] the blessedness [3108] of the man [444], unto whom [3739] God [2316] imputeth [3049] righteousness [1343] without [5565] works [2041],
3 For [1063] what [5101] saith [3004] the scripture [1124]? [1161] Abraham [11] believed [4100] God [2316], and [2532] it was counted [3049] unto him [846] for [1519] righteousness [1343].
25 Whom [3739] God [2316] hath set forth [4388] to be a propitiation [2435] through [1223] faith [4102] in [1722] his [846] blood [129], to [1519] declare [1732] his [846] righteousness [1343] for [1223] the remission [3929] of sins [265] that are past [4266], through [1722] the forbearance [463] of God [2316];
21 But [1161] now [3570] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] without [5565] the law [3551] is manifested [5319], being witnessed [3140] by [5259] the law [3551] and [2532] the prophets [4396];
22 Even [1161] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] which is by [1223] faith [4102] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] unto [1519] all [3956] and [2532] upon [1909] all [3956] them that believe [4100]: for [1063] there is [2076] no [3756] difference [1293]:
24 Wherefore [5620] the law [3551] was [1096] our [2257] schoolmaster [3807] to bring us unto [1519] Christ [5547], that [2443] we might be justified [1344] by [1537] faith [4102].
8 And [1161] the scripture [1124], foreseeing [4275] that [3754] God [2316] would justify [1344] the heathen [1484] through [1537] faith [4102], preached before the gospel [4283] unto Abraham [11], saying, [3754] In [1722] thee [4671] shall [1757] all [3956] nations [1484] be blessed [1757].
16 Knowing [1492] that [3754] a man [444] is [1344] not [3756] justified [1344] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551], but [3362] by [1223] the faith [4102] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], even [2532] we [2249] have believed [4100] in [1519] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], that [2443] we might be justified [1344] by [1537] the faith [4102] of Christ [5547], and [2532] not [3756] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551]: for [1360] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551] shall [1344] no [3756] [3956] flesh [4561] be justified [1344].
30 Moreover [1161] whom [3739] he did predestinate [4309], them [5128] he [2564] also [2532] called [2564]: and [2532] whom [3739] he called [2564], them [5128] he [1344] also [2532] justified [1344]: and [1161] whom [3739] he justified [1344], them [5128] he [1392] also [2532] glorified [1392].
1 Therefore [3767] being justified [1344] by [1537] faith [4102], we have [2192] peace [1515] with [4314] God [2316] through [1223] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
5 But [1161] to him that worketh [2038] not [3361], but [1161] believeth [4100] on [1909] him that justifieth [1344] the ungodly [765], his [846] faith [4102] is counted [3049] for [1519] righteousness [1343].
30 Seeing [1897] it is one [1520] God [2316], which [3739] shall justify [1344] the circumcision [4061] by [1537] faith [4102], and [2532] uncircumcision [203] through [1223] faith [4102].
28 Therefore [3767] we conclude [3049] that a man [444] is justified [1344] by faith [4102] without [5565] the deeds [2041] of the law [3551].
26 To [4314] declare [1732], I say, at [1722] this [3568] time [2540] his [846] righteousness [1343]: that [1519] he might be [1511] just [1342], and [2532] the justifier [1344] of him [846] which believeth [4102] in [1537] Jesus [2424].
24 Being justified [1344] freely [1432] by his [846] grace [5485] through [1223] the redemption [629] that is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]:
4 That [2443] the righteousness [1345] of the law [3551] might be fulfilled [4137] in [1722] us [2254], who walk [4043] not [3361] after [2596] the flesh [4561], but [235] after [2596] the Spirit [4151].
26 Therefore [3767] if [1437] the uncircumcision [203] keep [5442] the righteousness [1345] of the law [3551], shall [3049] not [3780] his [846] uncircumcision [203] be counted [3049] for [1519] circumcision [4061]?
10 And said [2036], O [5599] full [4134] of all [3956] subtilty [1388] and [2532] all [3956] mischief [4468], thou child [5207] of the devil [1228], thou enemy [2190] of all [3956] righteousness [1343], wilt thou [3973] not [3756] cease [3973] to pervert [1294] the right [2117] ways [3598] of the Lord [2962]?
35 But [235] in [1722] every [3956] nation [1484] he that feareth [5399] him [846], and [2532] worketh [2038] righteousness [1343], is [2076] accepted [1184] with him [846].
75 In [1722] holiness [3742] and [2532] righteousness [1343] before [1799] him [846], all [3956] the days [2250] of our [2257] life [2222].
32 For [1063] John [2491] came [2064] unto [4314] you [5209] in [1722] the way [3598] of righteousness [1343], and [2532] ye believed [4100] him [846] not [3756]: but [1161] the publicans [5057] and [2532] the harlots [4204] believed [4100] him [846]: and [1161] ye [5210], when ye had seen [1492] it, repented [3338] not [3756] afterward [5305], that ye might believe [4100] him [846].
20 For [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] except [3362] your [5216] righteousness [1343] shall exceed [4052] [4119] the righteousness of the scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], ye shall in no case [3364] enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772].
10 Blessed [3107] are they which are persecuted [1377] for [1752] righteousness' sake [1343]: for [3754] theirs [846] is [2076] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772].
6 Blessed [3107] are they which [3588] do hunger [3983] and [2532] thirst [1372] after righteousness [1343]: for [3754] they [846] shall be filled [5526].
15 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Suffer [863] it to be so now [737]: for [1063] thus [3779] it becometh [4241] [2076] us [2254] to fulfil [4137] all [3956] righteousness [1343]. Then [5119] he suffered [863] him [846].
8 He that loveth [25] not [3361] knoweth [1097] not [3756] God [2316]; for [3754] God [2316] is [2076] love [26].
16 Now [1161] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] himself [846], and [2532] God [2316], even [2532] our [2257] Father [3962], which [3588] hath loved [25] us [2248], and [2532] hath given [1325] us everlasting [166] consolation [3874] and [2532] good [18] hope [1680] through [1722] grace [5485],
4 But [1161] God [2316], who is [5607] rich [4145] in [1722] mercy [1656], for [1223] his [846] great [4183] love [26] wherewith [3739] he loved [25] us [2248],
16 For [1063] God [2316] so [3779] loved [25] the world [2889], that [5620] he gave [1325] his [846] only begotten [3439] Son [5207], that [2443] whosoever [3956] believeth [4100] in [1519] him [846] should [622] not [3361] perish [622], but [235] have [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222].
26 To [4314] declare [1732], I say, at [1722] this [3568] time [2540] his [846] righteousness [1343]: that [1519] he might be [1511] just [1342], and [2532] the justifier [1344] of him [846] which believeth [4102] in [1537] Jesus [2424].
18 Therefore [686] [3767] as [5613] by [1223] the offence [3900] of one [1520] judgment came upon [1519] all [3956] men [444] to [1519] condemnation [2631]; even [2532] so [3779] by [1223] the righteousness [1345] of one [1520] the free gift came upon [1519] all [3956] men [444] unto [1519] justification [1347] of life [2222].
19 I speak [3004] after the manner of men [442] because [1223] of the infirmity [769] of your [5216] flesh [4561]: for [1063] as [5618] ye have yielded [3936] your [5216] members [3196] servants [1401] to uncleanness [167] and [2532] to iniquity [458] unto [1519] iniquity [458]; even so [3779] now [3568] yield [3936] your [5216] members [3196] servants [1401] to righteousness [1343] unto [1519] holiness [38].
17 For [1063] our [2257] light [1645] affliction [2347], which [3588] is but for a moment [3910], worketh [2716] for us [2254] a far [2596] [5236] more exceeding [1519] [5236] and eternal [166] weight [922] of glory [1391];
18 But [1161] we [2249] all [3956], with open [343] face [4383] beholding as in a glass [2734] the glory [1391] of the Lord [2962], are changed [3339] into the same [846] image [1504] from [575] glory [1391] to [1519] glory [1391], even as [2509] by [575] the Spirit [4151] of the Lord [2962].
16 To [3739] the one [3303] we are the savour [3744] of death [2288] unto [1519] death [2288]; and [1161] to the other [3739] the savour [3744] of life [2222] unto [1519] life [2222]. And [2532] who [5101] is sufficient [2425] for [4314] these things [5023]?
20 I am crucified [4957] with Christ [5547]: nevertheless [1161] I live [2198]; yet not [3765] I [1473], but [1161] Christ [5547] liveth [2198] in [1722] me [1698]: and [1161] the life which [3739] I [2198] now [3568] live [2198] in [1722] the flesh [4561] I live [2198] by [1722] the faith [4102] of the Son [5207] of God [2316], who [3588] loved [25] me [3165], and [2532] gave [3860] himself [1438] for [5228] me [1700].
13 (For [1063] not [3756] the hearers [202] of the law [3551] are just [1342] before [3844] God [2316], but [235] the doers [4163] of the law [3551] shall be justified [1344].
5 But [1161] if [1487] our [2257] unrighteousness [93] commend [4921] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316], what [5101] shall we say [2046]? [3361] Is God [2316] unrighteous [94] who taketh [2018] vengeance [3709]? (I speak [3004] as [2596] a man [444])
23 And [2532] the scripture [1124] was fulfilled [4137] which saith [3004], [1161] Abraham [11] believed [4100] God [2316], and [2532] it was imputed [3049] unto him [846] for [1519] righteousness [1343]: and [2532] he was called [2564] the Friend [5384] of God [2316].
6 Even as [2531] Abraham [11] believed [4100] God [2316], and [2532] it was accounted [3049] to him [846] for [1519] righteousness [1343].
22 And [2532] therefore [1352] it was imputed [3049] to him [846] for [1519] righteousness [1343].
9 Cometh this [3778] blessedness [3108] then [3767] upon [1909] the circumcision [4061] only, or [2228] upon [1909] the uncircumcision [203] also [2532]? for [1063] we say [3004] that [3754] faith [4102] was reckoned [3049] to Abraham [11] for [1519] righteousness [1343].
6 Even as [2509] David [1138] also [2532] describeth [3004] the blessedness [3108] of the man [444], unto whom [3739] God [2316] imputeth [3049] righteousness [1343] without [5565] works [2041],
3 For [1063] what [5101] saith [3004] the scripture [1124]? [1161] Abraham [11] believed [4100] God [2316], and [2532] it was counted [3049] unto him [846] for [1519] righteousness [1343].
1 Masters [2962], give [3930] unto your servants [1401] that which is just [1342] and [2532] equal [2471]; knowing [1492] that [3754] ye [5210] also [2532] have [2192] a Master [2962] in [1722] heaven [3772].
7 Even as [2531] it is [2076] meet [1342] for me [1698] to think [5426] this [5124] of [5228] you [5216] all [3956], because [1223] I have [2192] you [5209] in [1722] my [3165] heart [2588]; inasmuch as both [5037] in [1722] my [3450] bonds [1199], and [2532] in the defence [627] and [2532] confirmation [951] of the gospel [2098], ye [5209] all [3956] are [5607] partakers [4791] of my [3450] grace [5485].
1 My [3450] little children [5040], these things [5023] write I [1125] unto you [5213], that [3363] ye sin [264] not [3363]. And [2532] if [1437] any man [5100] sin [264], we have [2192] an advocate [3875] with [4314] the Father [3962], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] the righteous [1342]:
18 For [3754] Christ [5547] also [2532] hath once [530] suffered [3958] for [4012] sins [266], the just [1342] for [5228] the unjust [94], that [2443] he might bring [4317] us [2248] to God [2316], being put to death [2289] [3303] in the flesh [4561], but [1161] quickened [2227] by the Spirit [4151]:
14 But [1161] ye [5210] denied [720] the Holy One [40] and [2532] the Just [1342], and [2532] desired [154] a murderer [5406] [435] to be granted [5483] unto you [5213];
35 But [235] in [1722] every [3956] nation [1484] he that feareth [5399] him [846], and [2532] worketh [2038] righteousness [1343], is [2076] accepted [1184] with him [846].
22 And [1161] they said [2036], Cornelius [2883] the centurion [1543], a just [1342] man [435], and [2532] one that feareth [5399] God [2316], and [5037] of good report [3140] among [5259] all [3650] the nation [1484] of the Jews [2453], was warned from God [5537] by [5259] an holy [40] angel [32] to send [3343] for thee [4571] into [1519] his [846] house [3624], and [2532] to hear [191] words [4487] of [3844] thee [4675].
29 Woe [3759] unto you [5213], scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], hypocrites [5273]! because [3754] ye build [3618] the tombs [5028] of the prophets [4396], and [2532] garnish [2885] the sepulchres [3419] of the righteous [1342],
41 He that receiveth [1209] a prophet [4396] in [1519] the name [3686] of a prophet [4396] shall receive [2983] a prophet's [4396] reward [3408]; and [2532] he that receiveth [2983] a righteous man [1342] in [1519] the name [3686] of a righteous man [1342] shall receive [1209] a righteous man's [1342] reward [3408].
17 For [1063] verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] many [4183] prophets [4396] and [2532] righteous [1342] men have desired [1937] to see [1492] those things which [3739] ye see [991], and [2532] have [1492] not [3756] seen [1492] them; and [2532] to hear [191] those things which [3739] ye hear [191], and [2532] have [191] not [3756] heard [191] them.
24 And [2532] that ye put on [1746] the new [2537] man [444], which [3588] after [2596] God [2316] is created [2936] in [1722] righteousness [1343] and [2532] true [225] holiness [3742].
75 In [1722] holiness [3742] and [2532] righteousness [1343] before [1799] him [846], all [3956] the days [2250] of our [2257] life [2222].
18 And [1161] the fruit [2590] of righteousness [1343] is sown [4687] in [1722] peace [1515] of them that make [4160] peace [1515].
11 Being filled [4137] with the fruits [2590] of righteousness [1343], which [3588] are by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], unto [1519] the glory [1391] and [2532] praise [1868] of God [2316].
14 Stand [2476] therefore [3767], having [4024] your [5216] loins [3751] girt about [4024] with [1722] truth [225], and [2532] having on [1746] the breastplate [2382] of righteousness [1343];
9 (For [1063] the fruit [2590] of the Spirit [4151] is in [1722] all [3956] goodness [19] and [2532] righteousness [1343] and [2532] truth [225];)
14 Be ye [1096] not [3361] unequally yoked together [2086] with unbelievers [571]: for [1063] what [5101] fellowship [3352] hath righteousness [1343] with [2532] unrighteousness [458]? and [1161] what [5101] communion [2842] hath light [5457] with [4314] darkness [4655]?
7 By [1722] the word [3056] of truth [225], by [1722] the power [1411] of God [2316], by [1223] the armour [3696] of righteousness [1343] on the right hand [1188] and [2532] on the left [710],
10 And [1161] if [1487] Christ [5547] be in [1722] you [5213], the body [4983] [3303] is dead [3498] because [1223] of sin [266]; but [1161] the Spirit [4151] is life [2222] because [1223] of righteousness [1343].
20 For [1063] when [3753] ye were [2258] the servants [1401] of sin [266], ye were [2258] free [1658] from righteousness [1343].
18 Being [1659] then [1161] made free [1659] from [575] sin [266], ye became the servants [1402] of righteousness [1343].
16 Know ye [1492] not [3756], that [3754] to whom [3739] ye yield [3936] yourselves [1438] servants [1401] to [1519] obey [5218], his servants [1401] ye are [2075] to whom [3739] ye obey [5219]; whether [2273] of sin [266] unto [1519] death [2288], or [2228] of obedience [5218] unto [1519] righteousness [1343]?
13 Neither [3366] yield ye [3936] your [5216] members [3196] as instruments [3696] of unrighteousness [93] unto sin [266]: but [235] yield [3936] yourselves [1438] unto God [2316], as [5613] those that are alive [2198] from [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] your [5216] members [3196] as instruments [3696] of righteousness [1343] unto God [2316].
9 If [1437] we confess [3670] our [2257] sins [266], he is [2076] faithful [4103] and [2532] just [1342] to [2443] forgive [863] us [2254] our sins [266], and [2532] to cleanse [2511] us [2248] from [575] all [3956] unrighteousness [93].
26 To [4314] declare [1732], I say, at [1722] this [3568] time [2540] his [846] righteousness [1343]: that [1519] he might be [1511] just [1342], and [2532] the justifier [1344] of him [846] which believeth [4102] in [1537] Jesus [2424].
7 Little children [5040], let [4105] no man [3367] deceive [4105] you [5209]: he that doeth [4160] righteousness [1343] is [2076] righteous [1342], even as [2531] he [1565] is [2076] righteous [1342].
25 [2532] O righteous [1342] Father [3962], the world [2889] hath [1097] not [3756] known [1097] thee [4571]: but [1161] I [1473] have known [1097] thee [4571], and [2532] these [3778] have known [1097] that [3754] thou [4771] hast sent [649] me [3165].
14 And [1161] he said [2036], The God [2316] of our [2257] fathers [3962] hath chosen [4400] thee [4571], that thou shouldest know [1097] his [846] will [2307], and [2532] see [1492] that Just One [1342], and [2532] shouldest hear [191] the voice [5456] of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750].
52 Which [5101] of the prophets [4396] have [1377] not [3756] your [5216] fathers [3962] persecuted [1377]? and [2532] they have slain [615] them which [3588] shewed before [4293] of [4012] the coming [1660] of the Just One [1342]; of whom [3739] ye [5210] have been [1096] now [3568] the betrayers [4273] and [2532] murderers [5406]:
14 But [1161] ye [5210] denied [720] the Holy One [40] and [2532] the Just [1342], and [2532] desired [154] a murderer [5406] [435] to be granted [5483] unto you [5213];
7 Little children [5040], let [4105] no man [3367] deceive [4105] you [5209]: he that doeth [4160] righteousness [1343] is [2076] righteous [1342], even as [2531] he [1565] is [2076] righteous [1342].
1 My [3450] little children [5040], these things [5023] write I [1125] unto you [5213], that [3363] ye sin [264] not [3363]. And [2532] if [1437] any man [5100] sin [264], we have [2192] an advocate [3875] with [4314] the Father [3962], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] the righteous [1342]:
26 To [4314] declare [1732], I say, at [1722] this [3568] time [2540] his [846] righteousness [1343]: that [1519] he might be [1511] just [1342], and [2532] the justifier [1344] of him [846] which believeth [4102] in [1537] Jesus [2424].
5 And [2532] I heard [191] the angel [32] of the waters [5204] say [3004], Thou art [1488] righteous [1342], O Lord [2962], which [3588] art [5607] [3801], and [2532] wast [2258] [3801], and [2532] shalt be [3741] [3801], because [3754] thou hast judged [2919] thus [5023].
25 [2532] O righteous [1342] Father [3962], the world [2889] hath [1097] not [3756] known [1097] thee [4571]: but [1161] I [1473] have known [1097] thee [4571], and [2532] these [3778] have known [1097] that [3754] thou [4771] hast sent [649] me [3165].
9 If [1437] we confess [3670] our [2257] sins [266], he is [2076] faithful [4103] and [2532] just [1342] to [2443] forgive [863] us [2254] our sins [266], and [2532] to cleanse [2511] us [2248] from [575] all [3956] unrighteousness [93].
19 Then [1161] Joseph [2501] her [846] husband [435], being [5607] a just [1342] man, and [2532] not [3361] willing [2309] to make [3856] her [846] a publick example [3856], was minded [1014] to put [630] her [846] away [630] privily [2977].
1 Take heed [4337] that ye do [4160] not [3361] your [5216] alms [1654] before [1715] men [444], to be seen [4314] [2300] of them [846]: otherwise [1490] ye have [2192] no [3756] reward [3408] of [3844] your [5216] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772].
27 And he said [0559], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430] of my master [0113] Abraham [085], who hath not left destitute [05800] [05973] my master [0113] of his mercy [02617] and his truth [0571]: I being in the way [01870], the LORD [03068] led me [05148] to the house [01004] of my master's [0113] brethren [0251].
19 Behold now, thy servant [05650] hath found [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869], and thou hast magnified [01431] thy mercy [02617], which thou hast shewed [06213] unto me [05978] in saving [02421] my life [05315]; and I cannot [03201] escape [04422] to the mountain [02022], lest some evil [07451] take [01692] me, and I die [04191]:
13 In any case [07725] thou shalt deliver [07725] him the pledge [05667] again [07725] when the sun [08121] goeth down [0935], that he may sleep [07901] in his own raiment [08008], and bless [01288] thee: and it shall be righteousness [06666] unto thee before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430].
25 And it shall be our righteousness [06666], if we observe [08104] to do [06213] all these [02063] commandments [04687] before [06440] the LORD [03068] our God [0430], as he hath commanded [06680] us.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned [02398], and done [06213] this evil [07451] in thy sight [05869]: that thou mightest be justified [06663] when thou speakest [01696], and be clear [02135] when thou judgest [08199].
4 Behold, his soul [05315] which is lifted up [06075] is not upright [03474] in him: but the just [06662] shall live [02421] by his faith [0530].
16 For [1063] I am [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870] of the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]: for [1063] it is [2076] the power [1411] of God [2316] unto [1519] salvation [4991] to every one [3956] that believeth [4100]; to the Jew [2453] first [4412], and [5037] also [2532] to the Greek [1672].
16 For [1063] I am [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870] of the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]: for [1063] it is [2076] the power [1411] of God [2316] unto [1519] salvation [4991] to every one [3956] that believeth [4100]; to the Jew [2453] first [4412], and [5037] also [2532] to the Greek [1672].
17 For [1063] therein [1722] [846] is [601] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] revealed [601] from [1537] faith [4102] to [1519] faith [4102]: as [2531] it is written [1125], [1161] The just [1342] shall live [2198] by [1537] faith [4102].
18 For [1063] the wrath [3709] of God [2316] is revealed [601] from [575] heaven [3772] against [1909] all [3956] ungodliness [763] and [2532] unrighteousness [93] of men [444], who hold [2722] the truth [225] in [1722] unrighteousness [93];
4 Behold, his soul [05315] which is lifted up [06075] is not upright [03474] in him: but the just [06662] shall live [02421] by his faith [0530].
7 That [2443] being justified by [1344] his [1565] grace [5485], we should be made [1096] heirs [2818] according to [2596] the hope [1680] of eternal [166] life [2222].
4 Christ [5547] is become of no effect unto you [575] [2673], whosoever of you [3748] are justified [1344] by [1722] the law [3551]; ye are fallen from [1601] grace [5485].
24 Wherefore [5620] the law [3551] was [1096] our [2257] schoolmaster [3807] to bring us unto [1519] Christ [5547], that [2443] we might be justified [1344] by [1537] faith [4102].
11 But [1161] that [3754] no man [3762] is justified [1344] by [1722] the law [3551] in the sight [3844] of God [2316], it is evident [1212]: for [3754], The just [1342] shall live [2198] by [1537] faith [4102].
17 But [1161] if [1487], while we seek [2212] to be justified [1344] by [1722] Christ [5547], we [2147] ourselves [846] also [2532] are found [2147] sinners [268], is therefore [687] Christ [5547] the minister [1249] of sin [266]? God forbid [3361] [1096].
16 Knowing [1492] that [3754] a man [444] is [1344] not [3756] justified [1344] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551], but [3362] by [1223] the faith [4102] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], even [2532] we [2249] have believed [4100] in [1519] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], that [2443] we might be justified [1344] by [1537] the faith [4102] of Christ [5547], and [2532] not [3756] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551]: for [1360] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551] shall [1344] no [3756] [3956] flesh [4561] be justified [1344].
9 Much [4183] more [3123] then [3767], being [1344] now [3568] justified [1344] by [1722] his [846] blood [129], we shall be saved [4982] from [575] wrath [3709] through [1223] him [846].
1 Therefore [3767] being justified [1344] by [1537] faith [4102], we have [2192] peace [1515] with [4314] God [2316] through [1223] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
28 Therefore [3767] we conclude [3049] that a man [444] is justified [1344] by faith [4102] without [5565] the deeds [2041] of the law [3551].
24 Being justified [1344] freely [1432] by his [846] grace [5485] through [1223] the redemption [629] that is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]:
21 Was [1344] not [3756] Abraham [11] our [2257] father [3962] justified [1344] by [1537] works [2041], when he had offered [399] Isaac [2464] his [846] son [5207] upon [1909] the altar [2379]?
22 Seest thou [991] how [3754] faith [4102] wrought [4903] with his [846] works [2041], and [2532] by [1537] works [2041] was [5048] faith [4102] made perfect [5048]?
23 And [2532] the scripture [1124] was fulfilled [4137] which saith [3004], [1161] Abraham [11] believed [4100] God [2316], and [2532] it was imputed [3049] unto him [846] for [1519] righteousness [1343]: and [2532] he was called [2564] the Friend [5384] of God [2316].
24 Ye see [3708] then [5106] how that [3754] by [1537] works [2041] a man [444] is justified [1344], and [2532] not [3756] by [1537] faith [4102] only [3440].
25 Likewise [3668] [1161] also [2532] was [1344] not [3756] Rahab [4460] the harlot [4204] justified [1344] by [1537] works [2041], when she had received [5264] the messengers [32], and [2532] had sent them out [1544] another [2087] way [3598]?
11 And [2532] such [5023] were [2258] some of you [5100]: but [235] ye are washed [628], but [235] ye are sanctified [37], but [235] ye are justified [1344] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], and [2532] by [1722] the Spirit [4151] of our [2257] God [2316].
2 For [1063] if [1487] Abraham [11] were justified [1344] by [1537] works [2041], he hath [2192] whereof to glory [2745]; but [235] not [3756] before [4314] God [2316].
20 Therefore [1360] by [1537] the deeds [2041] of the law [3551] there shall [1344] no [3956] [3756] flesh [4561] be justified [1344] in his [846] sight [1799]: for [1063] by [1223] the law [3551] is the knowledge [1922] of sin [266].
14 I tell [3004] you [5213], this man [3778] went down [2597] to [1519] his [846] house [3624] justified [1344] rather than [2228] the other [1565]: for [3754] every one [3956] that exalteth [5312] himself [1438] shall be abased [5013]; and [1161] he that humbleth [5013] himself [1438] shall be exalted [5312].
30 Moreover [1161] whom [3739] he did predestinate [4309], them [5128] he [2564] also [2532] called [2564]: and [2532] whom [3739] he called [2564], them [5128] he [1344] also [2532] justified [1344]: and [1161] whom [3739] he justified [1344], them [5128] he [1392] also [2532] glorified [1392].
7 For [1063] he that is dead [599] is freed [1344] from [575] sin [266].
39 And [2532] by [1722] him [5129] all [3956] that believe [4100] are justified [1344] from [575] all things [3956], from which [3739] ye could [1410] not [3756] be justified [1344] by [1722] the law [3551] of Moses [3475].
4 God forbid [3361] [1096]: yea [1161], let [1096] God [2316] be [1096] true [227], but [1161] every [3956] man [444] a liar [5583]; as [2531] it is written [1125], That [3704] thou mightest [302] be justified [1344] in [1722] thy [4675] sayings [3056], and [2532] mightest overcome [3528] when [1722] thou [4571] art judged [2919].
37 For [1063] by [1537] thy [4675] words [3056] thou shalt be justified [1344], and [2532] by [1537] thy [4675] words [3056] thou shalt be condemned [2613].
4 For [1063] I know [4894] nothing [3762] by myself [1683]; yet [235] am I [1344] not [3756] hereby [1722] [5129] justified [1344]: but [1161] he that judgeth [350] me [3165] is [2076] the Lord [2962].
15 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Ye [5210] are [2075] they which justify [1344] yourselves [1438] before [1799] men [444]; but [1161] God [2316] knoweth [1097] your [5216] hearts [2588]: for [3754] that which is highly esteemed [5308] among [1722] men [444] is [2076] abomination [946] in the sight [1799] of God [2316].
29 And [2532] all [3956] the people [2992] that heard [191] him, and [2532] the publicans [5057], justified [1344] God [2316], being baptized [907] with the baptism [908] of John [2491].
19 The Son [5207] of man [444] came [2064] eating [2068] and [2532] drinking [4095], and [2532] they say [3004], Behold [2400] a man [444] gluttonous [5314], and [2532] a winebibber [3630], a friend [5384] of publicans [5057] and [2532] sinners [268]. But [2532] wisdom [4678] is justified [1344] of [575] her [846] children [5043].
16 And [2532] without controversy [3672] great [3173] is [2076] the mystery [3466] of godliness [2150]: God [2316] was manifest [5319] in [1722] the flesh [4561], justified [1344] in [1722] the Spirit [4151], seen [3700] of angels [32], preached [2784] unto [1722] the Gentiles [1484], believed on [4100] in [1722] the world [2889], received up [353] into [1722] glory [1391].
21 For [1063] he hath made [4160] him to be sin [266] for [5228] us [2257], who [3588] knew [1097] no [3361] sin [266]; that [2443] we [2249] might be made [1096] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] in [1722] him [846].
6 Even as [2509] David [1138] also [2532] describeth [3004] the blessedness [3108] of the man [444], unto whom [3739] God [2316] imputeth [3049] righteousness [1343] without [5565] works [2041],
15 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Suffer [863] it to be so now [737]: for [1063] thus [3779] it becometh [4241] [2076] us [2254] to fulfil [4137] all [3956] righteousness [1343]. Then [5119] he suffered [863] him [846].
6 Concerning [2596] zeal [2205], persecuting [1377] the church [1577]; touching [2596] the righteousness [1343] which [3588] is in [1722] the law [3551], [1096] blameless [273].
7 By faith [4102] Noah [3575], being warned of God [5537] of [4012] things not [3369] seen [991] as yet [3369], moved with fear [2125], prepared [2680] an ark [2787] to [1519] the saving [4991] of his [846] house [3624]; by [1223] the which [3739] he condemned [2632] the world [2889], and [2532] became [1096] heir [2818] of the righteousness [1343] which is by [2596] faith [4102].
33 But [1161] seek ye [2212] first [4412] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], and [2532] his [846] righteousness [1343]; and [2532] all [3956] these things [5023] shall be added [4369] unto you [5213].
20 For [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] except [3362] your [5216] righteousness [1343] shall exceed [4052] [4119] the righteousness of the scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], ye shall in no case [3364] enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772].
10 Blessed [3107] are they which are persecuted [1377] for [1752] righteousness' sake [1343]: for [3754] theirs [846] is [2076] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772].
6 Blessed [3107] are they which [3588] do hunger [3983] and [2532] thirst [1372] after righteousness [1343]: for [3754] they [846] shall be filled [5526].
9 He hath dispersed [06340], he hath given [05414] to the poor [034]; his righteousness [06666] endureth [05975] for ever [05703]; his horn [07161] shall be exalted [07311] with honour [03519].
9 (As [2531] it is written [1125], He hath dispersed abroad [4650]; he hath given [1325] to the poor [3993]: his [846] righteousness [1343] remaineth [3306] for [1519] ever [165].
10 Now [1161] he that ministereth [2023] seed [4690] to the sower [4687] both [2532] minister [5524] bread [740] for [1519] your food [1035], and [2532] multiply [4129] your [5216] seed sown [4703], and [2532] increase [837] the fruits [1081] of your [5216] righteousness [1343];)
5 But [1161] if [1487] our [2257] unrighteousness [93] commend [4921] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316], what [5101] shall we say [2046]? [3361] Is God [2316] unrighteous [94] who taketh [2018] vengeance [3709]? (I speak [3004] as [2596] a man [444])
1 Take heed [4337] that ye do [4160] not [3361] your [5216] alms [1654] before [1715] men [444], to be seen [4314] [2300] of them [846]: otherwise [1490] ye have [2192] no [3756] reward [3408] of [3844] your [5216] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772].
75 In [1722] holiness [3742] and [2532] righteousness [1343] before [1799] him [846], all [3956] the days [2250] of our [2257] life [2222].
2 For [3754] true [228] and [2532] righteous [1342] are his [846] judgments [2920]: for [3754] he hath judged [2919] the great [3173] whore [4204], which [3748] did corrupt [5351] the earth [1093] with [1722] her [846] fornication [4202], and [2532] hath avenged [1556] the blood [129] of his [846] servants [1401] at [1537] her [846] hand [5495].
31 Because [1360] he hath appointed [2476] a day [2250], in [1722] the which [3739] he will [3195] judge [2919] the world [3625] in [1722] righteousness [1343] by [1722] that man [435] whom [3739] he hath ordained [3724]; whereof he hath given [3930] assurance [4102] unto all [3956] men, in that he hath raised [450] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498].
3 For [1063] they being ignorant [50] of God's [2316] righteousness [1343], and [2532] going about [2212] to establish [2476] their own [2398] righteousness [1343], have [5293] not [3756] submitted themselves [5293] unto the righteousness [1343] of God [2316].
32 Wherefore [1302]? Because [3754] they sought it not [3756] by [1537] faith [4102], but [235] as [5613] it were by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551]. For [1063] they stumbled [4350] at that stumblingstone [3037] [4348];
4 For [1063] Christ [5547] is the end [5056] of the law [3551] for [1519] righteousness [1343] to every one [3956] that believeth [4100].
31 But [1161] Israel [2474], which followed [1377] after the law [3551] of righteousness [1343], hath [5348] not [3756] attained [5348] to [1519] the law [3551] of righteousness [1343].
30 What [5101] shall we say [2046] then [3767]? That [3754] the Gentiles [1484], which [3588] followed [1377] not [3361] after righteousness [1343], have attained [2638] to righteousness [1343], even [1161] the righteousness [1343] which [3588] is of [1537] faith [4102].
