But nowe is the righteousnesse, of God made manifest without the Lawe, hauing witnes of the Lawe and of the Prophets,

To wit, the righteousnesse of God by the faith of Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpon all that beleeue.

For there is no difference: for all haue sinned, and are depriued of the glorie of God,

Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousnes, by the forgiuenesse of the sinnes that are passed,

Through the patience of God, to shewe at this time his righteousnesse, that hee might be iust, and a iustifier of him which is of the faith of Iesus.

God, is he the God of the Iewes onely, and not of the Gentiles also? Yes, euen of the Gentiles also.

For it is one God, who shall iustifie circumcision of faith, and vncircumcision through faith.

Doe we then make the Lawe of none effect through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Lawe.

For if Abraham were iustified by workes, he hath wherein to reioyce, but not with God.

For what saith the Scripture? Abraham beleeued God, and it was counted to him for righteousnesse.

Euen as Dauid declareth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnes without workes, saying,

(As it is written, I haue made thee a father of many nations) euen before God whom he beleeued, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those thinges which be not, as though they were.

Neither did he doubt of the promise of God through vnbeliefe, but was strengthened in the faith, and gaue glorie to God,

Then being iustified by faith, we haue peace toward God through our Lord Iesus Christ.

By who also through faith, we haue had this accesse into this grace, wherein we stand, and reioyce vnder ye hope of the glory of God.

And hope maketh not ashamed, because the loue of God is shed abroade in our heartes by the holy Ghost, which is giuen vnto vs.

But God setteth out his loue towards vs, seeing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for vs.

For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Sonne, much more being reconciled, we shalbe saued by his life,

And not onely so, but we also reioyce in God through our Lord Iesus Christ, by whom we haue nowe receiued the atonement.

But yet the gift is not so, as is the offence: for if through the offence of that one, many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man Iesus Christ, hath abounded vnto many.
