But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.

How then was it reputed? When he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

And he might be the father of circumcision; not to them only that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faith that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.

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 justice of faith.

Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm 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,

In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust: but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:

But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,

And not only so: but we glory also in tribulation, knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

But God commendeth his charity towards us: because when as yet we were sinners according to the time.

And not only so: but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.

For until the law sin was in the world: but sin was not imputed, when the law was not.

But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned, after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.

But not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many died: much more the grace of God and the gift, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

And not as it was by one sin, so also is the gift. For judgment indeed was by one unto condemnation: but grace is of many offences unto justification.

For in that he died to sin, he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

So do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin: but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead; and your members as instruments of justice unto God.

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.

What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid!

But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin but have obeyed from the heart unto that form of doctrine into which you have been delivered.
