We are made right with God by putting our faith in Jesus Christ. This happens to all who believe. It is no different for the Jews than for the Gentiles.

This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,

the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:

We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.

The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe, since there is no distinction.

but it is the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction,

even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;

even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction;

— that is, God’s righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, to all who believe, since there is no distinction.

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:

namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction,

even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,

There is no difference between those who are Jews and those who are not. The same Lord is Lord of all. He richly blesses everyone who calls on him.

There is no Jew or Gentile. There is no slave or free person. There is no male or female. That’s because you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Here there is no Gentile or Jew. There is no difference between those who are circumcised and those who are not. There is no rude outsider, or even a Scythian. There is no slave or free person. But Christ is everything. And he is in everything.

We have been made right with God because of our faith. Now we have peace with him because of our Lord Jesus Christ.Through faith in Jesus we have received God’s grace. In that grace we stand. We are full of joy because we expect to share in God’s glory.And that’s not all. We are full of joy even when we suffer. We know that our suffering gives us the strength to go on.The strength to go on produces character. Character produces hope.And hope will never bring us shame. That’s because God’s love has been poured into our hearts. This happened through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.At just the right time Christ died for ungodly people. He died for us when we had no power of our own.It is unusual for anyone to die for a godly person. Maybe someone would be willing to die for a good person.But here is how God has shown his love for us. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.The blood of Christ has made us right with God. So we are even more sure that Jesus will save us from God’s anger.Once we were God’s enemies. But we have been brought back to him because his Son has died for us. Now that God has brought us back, we are even more secure. We know that we will be saved because Christ lives.And that is not all. We are full of joy in God because of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of him, God has brought us back to himself.

Here is what we know. No one is made right with God by obeying the law. It is by believing in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus. This is so we can be made right with God by believing in Christ. We are not made right by obeying the law. That’s because no one can be made right with God by obeying the law.

Those who belong to Christ Jesus are no longer under God’s judgment.

But Abraham kept believing in God’s promise. He became strong in his faith. He gave glory to God.He was absolutely sure that God had the power to do what he had promised.That’s why“ God accepted Abraham because he believed. So his faith made him right with God.”( Genesis 15:6)

If you judge someone else, you have no excuse for it. When you judge another person, you are judging yourself. You do the same things you blame others for doing.

In the same way, Abraham“ believed God. God was pleased with Abraham because he believed. So his faith made him right with God.”( Genesis 15:6)So you see, those who have faith are children of Abraham.Long ago, Scripture knew that God would make the Gentiles right with himself. He would do this by their faith in him. He announced the good news ahead of time to Abraham. God said,“ All nations will be blessed because of you.”( Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22:18)So those who depend on faith are blessed along with Abraham. He was the man of faith.

That is what Scripture means where it says,“ Abraham believed God. God accepted Abraham because he believed. So his faith made him right with God.”( Genesis 15:6) And that’s not all. God called Abraham his friend.

The people of Jerusalem will say,“ We take great delight in the Lord. We are joyful because we belong to our God. He has dressed us with salvation as if it were our clothes. He has put robes of godliness on us. We are like a groom who is dressed up for his wedding. We are like a bride who decorates herself with her jewels.

“ The king came in to see the guests. He noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.‘ Friend,’ he asked,‘ how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man couldn’t think of anything to say.

God showed that there is no difference between us and them. That’s because he made their hearts pure because of their faith.

I want to be joined to him. Being right with God does not come from my obeying the law. It comes because I believe in Christ. It comes from God because of faith.

What do we find in Scripture? It says,“ Abraham believed God. God accepted Abraham’s faith, and so his faith made him right with God.”( Genesis 15:6)When a person works, their pay is not considered a gift. It is owed to them.But things are different with God. He makes ungodly people right with himself. If people trust in him, their faith is accepted even though they do not work. Their faith makes them right with God.King David says the same thing. He tells us how blessed people are when God makes them right with himself. They are blessed because they don’t have to do anything in return. David says,“ Blessed are those whose lawless acts are forgiven. Blessed are those whose sins are taken away.Blessed is the person whose sin the Lord never counts against them.”( Psalm 32:1, 2)Is that blessing only for those who are circumcised? Or is it also for those who are not circumcised? We have been saying that God accepted Abraham’s faith. So his faith made him right with God.When did it happen? Was it after Abraham was circumcised, or before? It was before he was circumcised, not after!He was circumcised as a sign of the covenant God had made with him. It showed that his faith had made him right with God before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the father of all believers who have not been circumcised. God accepts their faith. So their faith makes them right with him.And Abraham is also the father of those who are circumcised and believe. So just being circumcised is not enough. Those who are circumcised must also follow the steps of our father Abraham. He had faith before he was circumcised.Abraham and his family received a promise. God promised that Abraham would receive the world. It would not come to him because he obeyed the law. It would come because of his faith, which made him right with God.

What should we say then? Gentiles did not look for a way to be right with God. But they found it by having faith.

Who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you brag as though you did not?

“ But the father said to his servants,‘ Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
