Or is God the God of Yehudim only? Isn't he the God of Goyim also? Yes, of Goyim also,

since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

For if Avraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.

For what does the Scripture say? "Avraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

As it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations." This is before him whom he believed, God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.

Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn't waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

Being therefore justified by faith, we have shalom with God through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah;

through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

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

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

But the free gift isn't like the trespass. 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, Yeshua the Messiah, abound to the many.

For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

Thus also consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.

Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were servants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered.

But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.

Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Messiah, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.
