Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

I know {it is} so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? {with God: or, before God?}

What {is} man, that he should be clean? and {he which is} born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. {conceive...: Heb. warm me}

And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?

And from Jesus Christ, {who is} the faithful witness, {and} the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us {our} sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. {uncleanness: Heb. separation for uncleanness}

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. {guilty...: or, subject to the judgment of God}

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. {desires: Gr. wills}

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Man {that is} born of a woman {is} of few days, and full of trouble. {few...: Heb. short of days}

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

But we are all as an unclean {thing}, and all our righteousnesses {are} as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified {rather} than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law {is} the knowledge of sin.

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but {how} to perform that which is good I find not.

I know {it is} so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? {with God: or, before God?}

What {is} man, that he should be clean? and {he which is} born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. {know: or, I am not conscious of any fault}

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: {covetousness...: Gr. covetousnesses, wickednesses}

And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Who can bring a clean {thing} out of an unclean? not one. {can...: Heb. will give}

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.

They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. {cast...: or, excommunicated him}

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none {is} good, save one, {that is}, God.

Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!
