To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

[Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
