Righteousness…Part 4

Righteousness…Part 4

Romans 3:28  

For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law.

Romans 3:30  

Since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.

Romans 4:2

 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God.

Romans 4:3  

What does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

Romans 4:5  

However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.

Romans 4:6  

David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

Romans 4:9  

Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness.

Romans 4:11  

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.

Romans 4:13  

It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

Romans 4:22  

This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”

Romans 4:24  

But also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Romans 4:25  

He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
