For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in

unrighteousness; for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the

world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.

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. But

now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets. Even the

righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a

propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the

forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which

believeth in Jesus.

Romans 1:18, 3:23, 5:12, 3:20-26
