But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.)

But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

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

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

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

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

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

and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.

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

for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

yea, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God,

but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

And not only so, but let us also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

for until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

But not as the trespass, so also is the free gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many.

And not as through one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment came of one unto condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses unto justification.
