If You, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

Have You not taken account even of him, and caused him to enter into judgment before You?

and keeping justice and mercy for thousands, taking away iniquity and unrighteousness and sins; and He will not clear the guilty; bringing the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and to the children's children, to the third and fourth generation.

What, shall a mortal be pure before the Lord? Or a man be blameless in regard to his works?

Truly I know it is so, for how shall a mortal man be righteous before the Lord?

For if he would enter into judgment with Him, [God] would not listen to him, so that he should answer to one of His charges of a thousand.

For who, being a mortal, [is such] that he shall be blameless? Or [who that is] born of a woman, that he should be just?

For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? Or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

For there is not a righteous man in the earth who will do good, and not sin.

Therefore by works of the law no flesh shall be justified in His sight, for through the law [comes] [the] knowledge of sin.

knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by [the] faith of Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by [the] faith of Christ and not by [the] works of the law; because no flesh shall be justified by [the] works of the law.

If we claim that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
