Bible Verses About Justification

But knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ then the minister of sin? God forbid!

For if I build up again the things which I have destroyed, I make myself a prevaricator.

For I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live to God; with Christ I am nailed to the cross.

And I live, now not I: but Christ liveth in me. And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and delivered himself for me.

I cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain.

And the scripture, foreseeing that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.

Therefore, they that are of faith shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.

Was the law then against the promises of God: God forbid! For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should have been by the law.

But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.

Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read the law?

For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman and the other by a free woman.

But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman was by promise.

Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from Mount Sina, engendering unto bondage, which is Agar.

For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is: and is in bondage with her children.

But that Jerusalem which is above is free: which is our mother.

For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband.

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was after the spirit: so also it is now.

But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.

So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.

You are made void of Christ, you who are justified in the law: you are fallen from grace.

For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of justice.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by Charity.

Furthermore, I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ.
