The Righteousness of Faith

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 be come guilty before God.

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.

But now the righteousness of God

without the law is manifested,

being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

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:

For all have sinned, and come short of 

the glory of God;

Being justified freely by this grace 

through the redemption that 

is in Christ 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;

To declare, i say, at this time

his righteousness: 

that he might be just , and the justifier

of him which believeth in Jesus.

Where is boasting then?

It is excluded. By what law?

of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified

by faith without the deeds of the law.
