1 Timothy 3:9 holding the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience,

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the last times some will depart from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,

In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!” 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go, as you have believed it will be done for you.” And the slave was healed at that hour.

John 11:22 Even now I know that whatever you ask God, God will grant you.”

John 11:25–27 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die forever.

Colossians 2:12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which also you were raised together with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed,” and no one is able to say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but who believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness,

Romans 8:33–34 Who will bring charges against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies. 34 Who is the one who condemns? Christ is the one who died, and more than that, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

Romans 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but who believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness,

1 Corinthians 6:11 And some of you were these things, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Romans 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but who believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness,

Galatians 2:16 but knowing that a person is not justified by the works of the law, if not by faith in Jesus Christ, and we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.

Romans 11:6 But if by grace, it is no longer by works, for otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

Romans 3:27 Therefore, where is boasting? It has been excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

Galatians 3:11 Now it is clear that no one is justified in the sight of God by the law, because “the one who is righteous will live by faith.”

Romans 8:30 And those whom he predestined, these he also called, and those whom he called, these he also justified, and those whom he justified, these he also glorified.

and have done this evil in your eyes,

so that you are correct when you speak,

whose sin is covered.

Isaiah 43:25 I, I am the one who blots out your transgressions for my sake,

and I will not remember your sins.

Return to me,

for I have redeemed you!”

Romans 3:25 whom God made publicly available as the mercy seat through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because of the passing over of previously committed sins,

Colossians 2:14 having destroyed the certificate of indebtedness in ordinances against us, which was hostile to us, and removed it out of the way by nailing it to the cross.

Galatians 3:13–14 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,” 14 in order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Galatians 3:11–12 Now it is clear that no one is justified in the sight of God by the law, because “the one who is righteous will live by faith.” 12 But the law is not from faith, but “the one who does these things will live by them.”

Galatians 3:5 Therefore does the one who gives you the Spirit and who works miracles among you do so by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Galatians 3:21 Therefore is the law opposed to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, certainly righteousness would have been from the law.

Acts 26:18 to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

Zechariah 3:4–5 And he answered and said to the ones standing before him, saying, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” And he said to him, “See, I have taken away your guilt from you, and will clothe you with rich garments.” 5 And I said, “Let them put a clean headband on his head.” And they put a clean headband on his head, and they clothed him with garments. And the angel of Yahweh was standing by.

Isaiah 61:10 I will rejoice greatly in Yahweh;

my being shall shout in exultation in my God.

For he has clothed me with garments of salvation,

he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

as a bridegroom adorns himself with a head wrap like a priest,

and as a bride adorns herself with her jewelry.

Romans 5:18–19 Consequently therefore, as through one trespass came condemnation to all people, so also through one righteous deed came justification of life to all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one, the many will be made righteous.

Philippians 2:8 he humbled himself

by becoming obedient to the point of death,

that is, death on a cross.

Romans 5:9 Therefore, by much more, because we have been declared righteous now by his blood, we will be saved through him from the wrath.

Romans 3:25 whom God made publicly available as the mercy seat through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because of the passing over of previously committed sins,

Galatians 3:26–27 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, 27 for as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Galatians 4:6 And because you are sons, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba! (Father!),”

John 1:12 But as many as received him—to those who believe in his name—he gave to them authority to become children of God,

1 John 3:9–10 Everyone who is fathered by God does not practice sin, because his seed resides in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been fathered by God. 10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are evident: everyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, namely, the one who does not love his brother.

Galatians 4:7 so that you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, also an heir through God.

Romans 8:17 and if children, also heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer together with him so that we may also be glorified together with him.

Galatians 3:14 in order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Romans 8:17–18 and if children, also heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer together with him so that we may also be glorified together with him.

18 For I consider that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us.

Romans 8:23 Not only this, but we ourselves also, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves while we await eagerly our adoption, the redemption of our body.

Romans 8:30 And those whom he predestined, these he also called, and those whom he called, these he also justified, and those whom he justified, these he also glorified.

Matthew 6:12 and forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

1 John 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you in order that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one,

Romans 3:28 For we consider a person to be justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

Romans 3:30 since God is one, who will justify those who are circumcised by faith and those who are uncircumcised through faith.

Romans 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but who believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness,

Galatians 3:6 Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,

James 2:24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend.

1 John 3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you: the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as that one is righteous.

1 John 3:8–10 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God was revealed: in order to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Everyone who is fathered by God does not practice sin, because his seed resides in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been fathered by God. 10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are evident: everyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, namely, the one who does not love his brother.

Luke 1:6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, living blamelessly in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord.

Galatians 3:10–11 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse, for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all the things that are written in the book of the law to do them.” 11 Now it is clear that no one is justified in the sight of God by the law, because “the one who is righteous will live by faith.”

Romans 3:24 being justified as a gift by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,

Romans 11:6 But if by grace, it is no longer by works, for otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

Ephesians 2:8–9 For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 it is not from works, so that no one can boast.

Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”

Philippians 3:9 and may be found in him, not having my righteousness which is from the law, but which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith,

Romans 3:25–26 whom God made publicly available as the mercy seat through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because of the passing over of previously committed sins, 26 in the forbearance of God, for the demonstration of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just and the one who justifies the person by faith in Jesus.
