¹⁷ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith,^[a](A) just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.^[b][c](B)

The Righteousness of God through Faith

²¹ But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed,^(A) attested by the Law and the Prophets.^[a](B)

⁶ But the righteousness that comes from faith^(A) speaks like this: Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven? ’^[a](B) that is, to bring Christ down

¹⁶ and yet because we know that a person is not justified by the works of the law^(A) but by faith in Jesus Christ,^[a] even we ourselves have believed in Christ Jesus. This was so that we might be justified by faith in Christ^[b] and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will^[c] be justified.

²⁴ The law, then, was our guardian until Christ,^(A) so that we could be justified by faith.

⁹ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law,^(A) but one that is through faith in Christ^[a] – the righteousness from God based on faith.^(B)

⁷ By faith Noah, after he was warned about what was not yet seen and motivated by godly fear, built an ark to deliver his family. By faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.^(A)
