What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Let it not be!

But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who lays on wrath? (I speak as a man.)

For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

For ever since the creation of the world the unseen things of Him are clearly perceived, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

Professing to be wise, they become foolish,

Therefore God also gives them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

For this reason God gives them up to vile passions. For even their women change the natural use for what is contrary to nature.

And even as they do not like to have God in their full true knowledge, God gives them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

defamers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do them, but also approve of those who practice them.

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those believing through uncircumcision, that righteousness might be accounted to them also;

But Isaiah is very bold and says: I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those not inquiring after Me.

I am sought by those who asked not for Me; I am found by those who did not seek Me. I had said, Look to Me, Look to Me; to a nation that was not calling upon My name.

I have spread out My hands all the day to a rebellious people who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be led astray. Neither prostitutes, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the emptiness of their mind,

who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to licentiousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.

but Israel, pursuing the Law of righteousness, has not arrived at the Law of righteousness.

The way of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah, but He loves him who pursues righteousness.

He who follows after righteousness and mercy finds life, righteousness, and honor.

Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, who seek Jehovah: Look to the rock from which you have been hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you have been dug.

But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

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

even the righteousness of God, through the faith of Jesus Christ, to all and upon all who believe. For there is no difference;

Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those believing through uncircumcision, that righteousness might be accounted to them also;

For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel before to Abraham, saying, In you all the nations shall be blessed.

For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness out of faith.

and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
