For Christ is the end of the law, with the result that there is righteousness for everyone who believes.

For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness ¹  and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation. ² 

Just as it is written, “He ¹  has scattered widely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness remains forever.” ² 

Stand firm therefore, by fastening ¹  the belt of truth around your waist, ²  by putting on the breastplate of righteousness,

filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

In my zeal for God I persecuted the church. According to the righteousness stipulated in the law I was blameless.

Every scripture ¹  is inspired by God ²  and useful for teaching, for reproof, ³  for correction, and for training in righteousness,

“Be ¹  careful not to display your righteousness merely to be seen by people. ²  Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in heaven.

For the righteousness ¹  of God is revealed in the gospel ²  from faith to faith, ³  just as it is written, “The righteous by faith will live.” ⁴ 

But now ¹  apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) ²  has been disclosed –
