Romans 4:6And David speaks likewise of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:Romans 4:7“Blessed are they whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered.Romans 4:8Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”Romans 4:9Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.Romans 4:10In what context was it credited? Was it after his circumcision, or before? It was not after, but before.Romans 4:11And he received the sign of circumcision as 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 are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.Romans 4:12And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.Romans 4:13For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.Romans 4:14For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless and the promise is worthless,Romans 4:15because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.Romans 4:16Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.Romans 4:17As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.Romans 4:18Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.”Romans 4:19Without weakening in his faith, he acknowledged the decrepitness of his body (since he was about a hundred years old) and the lifelessness of Sarah’s womb.Romans 4:20Yet he did not waver through disbelief in the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,Romans 4:21being fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised.Romans 4:22This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”Romans 4:23Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for Abraham,Romans 4:24but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.Romans 4:25He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification.Romans 5:1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,Romans 5:2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.Galatians 3:27For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.Galatians 3:28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.Ephesians 2:14For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostilityEphesians 2:15by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peaceEphesians 2:16and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He put to death their hostility.Ephesians 2:17He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.Colossians 3:11Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.Colossians 3:12Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.Colossians 3:13Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.Colossians 3:14And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity.Colossians 3:15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.
