2 “For a fact I know that this is so.

But how can mortal man be in the right in a case with God?+

20 For there is no righteous man on earth who always does good and never sins.+

20 Therefore, no one will be declared righteous before him by works of law,+ for by law comes the accurate knowledge of sin.+

16 recognize that a man is declared righteous, not by works of law, but only through faith+ in Jesus Christ.+ So we have put our faith in Christ Jesus, so that we may be declared righteous by faith in Christ and not by works of law, for no one will be declared righteous by works of law.+

10 If we make the statement, “We have not sinned,” we are making him a liar, and his word is not in us.
