For we consider that a person is justified by faith
apart from works of the law.
ROMANS 3:28
What occasion is there then for boasting? It is ruled out. On what principle: That of works? No, rather on the principle of faith. For we consider that a person is justified by faith apart from works of the law. (Rom 3:27-28)
Jesus said, "Woe to you, scholars of the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter.” (Lk 11:52)
Now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, though testified to by the law and the prophets, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction; all have sinned and are deprived of the glory of God. (Rom 3:21-23)
They are justified freely by His grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as an expiation, through faith, by his Blood, to prove his righteousness because of the forgiveness of sins previously committed, through the forbearance of God—to prove His righteousness in the present time, that He might be righteous and justify the one who has faith in Jesus. (Rom 3:24-26)
Does God belong to Jews alone? Does he not belong to Gentiles, too? Yes, also to Gentiles, for God is one and will justify the circumcised on the basis of faith and the uncircumcised through faith. (Rom 3:29-30)
I trust in the Lord; my soul trusts in his word. My soul waits for the Lord more than sentinels wait for the dawn. (Ps 130:5-6)
Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication. If You, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand? But with You is forgiveness, that You may be revered. (Ps 130:1-4)
