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,

正如大卫称那在行为以外蒙神算为义的人是有福的。

正如大卫称那在行为之外蒙上帝算为义的人是有福的：

正如大卫称那在行为之外蒙神算为义的人是有福的：

大卫也说不靠行为而被上帝算为义的人是有福的，他说：

大卫也是这样说，那不靠行为而蒙神算为义的人是有福的！

正如大卫也论到神所算为义之人的福份，这义与行为无关；他说：

正如大衛稱那在行為以外蒙神算為義的人是有福的。

正如大衛稱那在行為之外蒙上帝算為義的人是有福的：

正如大衛稱那在行為之外蒙神算為義的人是有福的：

大衛也說不靠行為而被上帝算為義的人是有福的，他說：

大衛也是這樣說，那不靠行為而蒙神算為義的人是有福的！

正如大衛也稱那在行為以外蒙上帝算為義的人為有福；

正如大衛也論到神所算為義之人的福份，這義與行為無關；他說：

又如大衛謂上帝於行之外而義之者為有福、

如大闢謂人無為、而被上帝稱義者有福、

人不因所行蒙天主稱義、大衛亦謂其有福、

昔大維亦曾詠嘆不恃事功惟賴恩主而成義者之真福云：

David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:

David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those who are declared righteous without working for it:

Just as David also speaks of the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

just as David also speaks of the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:

Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works,

Likewise, David also speaks of the blessing of the man God credits righteousness to apart from works:

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

Christ didn’t have any sin. But God made him become sin for us. So we can be made right with God because of what Christ has done for us.

God’s grace has saved you because of your faith in Christ. Your salvation doesn’t come from anything you do. It is God’s gift.It is not based on anything you have done. No one can brag about earning it.We are God’s creation. He created us to belong to Christ Jesus. Now we can do good works. Long ago God prepared these works for us to do.

Because of what God has done, you belong to Christ Jesus. He has become God’s wisdom for us. He makes us right with God. He makes us holy and sets us free.

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.

God has saved us. He has chosen us to live a holy life. It wasn’t because of anything we have done. It was because of his own purpose and grace. Through Christ Jesus, God gave us this grace even before time began.

Blessed are those who depend on the God of Jacob for help. Blessed are those who put their hope in the Lord their God.He is the Maker of heaven and earth and the ocean. He made everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

Praise the Lord. Blessed are those who have respect for the Lord. They find great delight when they obey God’s commands.

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.

Blessed is the person who obeys the law of the Lord. They don’t follow the advice of evil people. They don’t make a habit of doing what sinners do. They don’t join those who make fun of the Lord and his law.Instead, the law of the Lord gives them joy. They think about his law day and night.That kind of person is like a tree that is planted near a stream of water. It always bears its fruit at the right time. Its leaves don’t dry up. Everything godly people do turns out well.

Christ Jesus set us free so that the blessing given to Abraham would come to the Gentiles through Christ. He did it so that we might receive the promise of the Holy Spirit. The promised Spirit comes by believing in Christ.

So no one will be considered right with God by obeying the law. Instead, the law makes us more aware of our sin.But now God has shown us his saving power without the help of the law. But the Law and the Prophets tell us about this.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.

Israel, how blessed you are! Who is like you? The Lord has saved you. He keeps you safe. He helps you. He’s like a glorious sword to you. Your enemies will bow down to you in fear. You will walk on the highest places of their lands.”

The good news shows God’s power to make people right with himself. God’s power to be made right with him is given to the person who has faith. It happens by faith from beginning to end. It is written,“ The one who is right with God will live by faith.”( Habakkuk 2:4)

Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. Those blessings come from the heavenly world. They belong to us because we belong to Christ.

They were written also for us. We believe in the God who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. So God will accept our faith and make us right with himself.

But no weapon used against you will succeed. People might bring charges against you. But you will prove that they are wrong. Those are the things I do for my servants. I make everything right for them,” announces the Lord.

They will say,‘ The Lord is the only one who can save us. Only he can make us strong.’ ” All those who have been angry with the Lord will come to him. And they will be put to shame.But the Lord will save all the people of Israel. And so they will boast about the Lord.

So one man’s sin brought guilt to all people. In the same way, one right act made people right with God. That one right act gave life to all people.Many people were made sinners because one man did not obey. But one man did obey. That is why many people will be made right with God.

The Lord speaks about the palace of the king of Judah. He says,“ You are like the land of Gilead to me. You are like the highest mountain in Lebanon. But I will make you like a desert. You will become like towns that no one lives in.

“ Blessed are those who are spiritually needy. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them.Blessed are those who are sad. They will be comforted.Blessed are those who are humble. They will be given the earth.Blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty for what is right. They will be filled.Blessed are those who show mercy. They will be shown mercy.Blessed are those whose hearts are pure. They will see God.Blessed are those who make peace. They will be called children of God.Blessed are those who suffer for doing what is right. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them.“ Blessed are you when people make fun of you and hurt you because of me. You are also blessed when they tell all kinds of evil lies about you because of me.Be joyful and glad. Your reward in heaven is great. In the same way, people hurt the prophets who lived long ago.

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.

I, Simon Peter, am writing this letter. I serve Jesus Christ. I am his apostle. I am sending this letter to you. You are those who have received a faith as valuable as ours. You received it because our God and Savior Jesus Christ does what is right.

So who can brag? No one! Are people saved by the law that requires them to obey? Not at all! They are saved because of the law that requires faith.

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.

So why aren’t you treating me the same way now? Suppose you could have torn out your own eyes and given them to me. Then you would have done it. I am a witness to this.

In those days Judah will be saved. Jerusalem will live in safety. And it will be called The Lord Who Makes Us Right With Himself.”

“ The Lord has appointed 70‘ weeks’ for your people and your holy city. During that time, acts against God’s law will be stopped. Sin will come to an end. And the evil things people do will be paid for. Then everyone will always do what is right. Everything that has been made known in visions and prophecies will come true. And the Most Holy Room in the temple will be anointed.
