But now,  ¹apart from the law, the  ²righteousness of God has been  ³manifested, witness being borne to it by the Law and the Prophets;

Even the righteousness of God through the  ¹faith of Jesus Christ to all those who believe, for there is no distinction;

For all have sinned and fall short of the  ¹glory of God,

Being  ¹justified  ²freely by His grace through the  ³redemption which is in Christ Jesus;

Whom God  ¹set forth as a  ²propitiation place through faith in His blood, for the demonstrating of His righteousness, in that in His forbearance God  ³passed over the sins that had previously occurred,

With a view to the demonstrating of His righteousness in the present time, so that He might be righteous and the One who  ¹justifies him who is of the  ²faith of Jesus.

Where then is boasting?  ¹It is excluded. Through what kind of law? That of works? No, but through the law of faith.

For we account that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not of the Gentiles also? Yes, of the Gentiles also,

If indeed God is one, who will justify the circumcision  ¹out of faith and the uncircumcision  ¹through faith.

Do we then make the law of no effect through faith? Absolutely not! Rather, we establish the law.

 ¹What then shall we say that Abraham our  ²forefather according to the flesh has found?

For if Abraham was justified out of  ¹works, he has something to boast in, but not before God.

For what does the Scripture say? “And Abraham  ¹believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness.”

Now to the  ¹one who works, his  ²wages are not accounted according to grace, but according to what is due.

But to the one who does not work, but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted as righteousness.

Even as David also speaks blessing on the man to whom God accounts righteousness apart from works:

"Blessed are they whose lawlessnesses have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered over.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall by no means account sin.”

Is this blessing then upon the circumcision only, or also upon the uncircumcision? For we say, Faith was accounted to Abraham as righteousness.

How then was it accounted? While he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

And he received the  ¹sign of circumcision, a seal of the  ²righteousness of the faith which he had while in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those in uncircumcision who believe, that righteousness might be accounted to them also,

And the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also  ¹walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

For it was not through the law that the promise was made to Abraham or to his seed that he would be the  ¹heir of the world, but through the  ²righteousness of faith.

For if those of the law are heirs, faith has been made void and the promise has been annulled;

For the law works out wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

Therefore the inheritance is out of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise may be certain to all the seed, not to that which is of the law only, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the  ¹father of us all

(As it is written, “I have appointed you a father of many nations”) in the sight of God whom he  ¹believed, who  ²gives life to the dead and  ³calls the things not being as being.

He beyond hope believed  ¹in hope in order that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, “So shall your seed be.”

And not weakening in his faith, he considered his own body as  ¹already dead, being about a hundred years old, as well as the deadening of Sarah's womb;

But with regard to the promise of God, he did not doubt in unbelief, but was empowered by faith, giving glory to God

And being fully persuaded that what He had promised He was able also to do.

Therefore also it was accounted to him as righteousness.

Now it was not written for his sake only that it was accounted to him,

But for ours also to whom it is to be accounted, who believe on  ¹Him who has raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

Who was delivered for our offenses and was  ¹raised for our justification.

 ¹Blessed is the man
Who does not walk
In the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand on the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of mockers;

Rather his delight is in the  ¹law of Jehovah,
And in His law he meditates by day and by night.

And he will be like a tree
Transplanted beside streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season,
And whose foliage does not wither;
And everything he does  ¹prospers.

The wicked are not so,
But are like chaff,
Which the wind drives away.

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment;
Nor the sinners, in the assembly of the righteous.

For Jehovah knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.

 ¹Why are the  ²nations in an uproar,
And why do the peoples contemplate a vain thing?

The kings of the earth take their stand,
And the rulers sit in counsel together,
Against Jehovah and against His  ¹Anointed:

Let us break apart their bonds
And cast their ropes away from us.

He who sits in the heavens laughs;
The  ¹Lord has them in derision.

Then He will speak to them in His anger,
And in His burning wrath He will terrify them:

But I have installed My  ¹King
Upon  ²Zion, My holy mountain.

I will recount the decree of Jehovah;
He said to Me:  ¹You are My Son;
Today I have begotten You.

Ask of Me,
And I will give the nations as Your inheritance
And the limits of the earth as Your possession.

You will break them with an iron rod;
You will shatter them like a potter's vessel.

 ¹Now therefore, O kings, be prudent;
Take the admonition, O judges of the earth.

Serve Jehovah with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.

 ¹Kiss the Son
Lest He be angry and you perish from the way;
For His anger may suddenly be kindled.
 ²Blessed are all those who take refuge in Him.

A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son

 ¹Jehovah, how many are my adversaries!
Many are those who rise up against me!

Many are those who say of my soul,
There is no salvation for him in God!  ¹Selah

But You, O Jehovah, are a shield around me,
My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

With my voice I call out to Jehovah,
And He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah

I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.

I will not fear the myriads of the people
Who have set themselves against me all around.

Arise, O Jehovah;
Save me, O my God!
Oh that you would  ¹strike all my enemies on the cheek;
And break the teeth of the wicked.

Salvation is of Jehovah:
Your blessing be upon Your people. Selah

To the choir director: on the stringed instruments. A Psalm of David

When I call out, answer me,
O God of my  ¹righteousness;
Make room for me when I am in straits;
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

O sons of men, how long will my glory be made a reproach?
How long will you love vanity, will you seek a lie? Selah

But know that Jehovah  ¹sets apart the faithful man for Himself.
Jehovah hears when I call out to Him.

Be angry, yet do not sin;
Consider in your heart upon your bed,
And be silent. Selah

Offer sacrifices of righteousness,
And trust in Jehovah.

Many are those who say, Who will show us any good?
Lift up upon us the light of Your countenance, O Jehovah.

You have put joy in my heart,
More than when the  ¹grain and new wine of others abound.

In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, O Jehovah, cause me to dwell in safety.

To the choir director: for the wind instruments. A Psalm of David

To my words give ear, O Jehovah;
Consider my moaning.

Give heed to the sound of my cry,
My King and my God;
For to You do I pray.

O Jehovah, in the morning
You will hear my voice;
In the morning I will set forth my words in order to You,
And I will watch.

 ¹For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;
Evil will not sojourn with You.

Those who boast will not stand
Before Your eyes;
You hate all workers of iniquity.

You will destroy those who speak lies.
Jehovah abhors a man of bloodshed and deceit.

But as for me, in the abundance of Your lovingkindness
I will come into Your house;
I will bow down toward Your holy temple
In fear of You.

O Jehovah, lead me in Your righteousness
On account of those who lie in wait for me;
Make Your way straight before me.

For there is no truth in their mouth;
Their inward part is corruption itself;
Their throat is an open grave;
They flatter with their tongue.

 ¹Hold them guilty, O God;
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Because of the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out,
For they have rebelled against You.

But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;
Let them shout for joy forever;
And may You spread a cover over them;
And those who love Your name
Will exult in You.

For You will bless the righteous man, O Jehovah;
You will surround him with favor as with a shield.

To the choir director: on the stringed instruments, on the octave. A Psalm of David

O Jehovah, do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor  ¹chasten me in Your burning wrath.
