Through him we have received grace and our apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of his name.

First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

that is, that we may be mutually comforted by one another's faith, both yours and mine.

For the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel from faith to faith, just as it is written, " The righteous by faith will live ."

God publicly displayed him at his death as the mercy seat accessible through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed.

Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded! By what principle? Of works? No, but by the principle of faith!

For we consider that a person is declared righteous by faith apart from the works of the law.

Since God is one, he will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not! Instead we uphold the law.

But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness.

Is this blessedness then for the circumcision or also for the uncircumcision? For we say, "faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness ."

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, so that he would become the father of all those who believe but have never been circumcised, that they too could have righteousness credited to them.

And he is also the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham possessed when he was still uncircumcised.

For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not fulfilled through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

For if they become heirs by the law, faith is empty and the promise is nullified.

For this reason it is by faith so that it may be by grace, with the result that the promise may be certain to all the descendants—not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who have the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

Without being weak in faith, he considered his own body as dead (because he was about one hundred years old) and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

He did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.

Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of God's glory.
