Righteousness (3/5)

  • For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.
  • Better is the little that the righteous has
    than the abundance of many wicked.
    For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
    but the Lord upholds the righteous.
  • The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
    but the mouth of the wicked, what is perverse.
  • I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
    my soul shall exult in my God,
    for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
    he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
    as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
    and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
  • In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
    let me never be put to shame;
    in your righteousness deliver me!
  • He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
  • Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
  • “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.
  • Thus says the Lord of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another, do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor, and let none of you devise evil against another in your heart.
  • The Lord is righteous in all his ways
    and kind in all his works.
  • You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
  • Do not envy a man of violence
    and do not choose any of his ways,
    for the devious person is an abomination to the Lord,
    but the upright are in his confidence.
  • Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you,
    and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.
    For the Lord is a God of justice;
    blessed are all those who wait for him.
  • Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
    but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
  • For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.
  • So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.”
  • He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
    he is a shield to those who walk in integrity.
  • Hear my prayer, O Lord;
    give ear to my pleas for mercy!
    In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
  • Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
    who walk in the law of the Lord!
  • Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • Good and upright is the Lord;
    therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
    He leads the humble in what is right,
    and teaches the humble his way.
  • Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
    maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
  • But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.
  • Train up a child in the way he should go;
    even when he is old he will not depart from it.
  • We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
