Psalms 143:2

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting, unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them; for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me;

“Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.

Who can say, “I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?”

Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he.

All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

For the law produces wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”

So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth.

If he is pleased to contend with him, he can’t answer him one time in a thousand.

Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?

Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and doesn’t sin.

Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.

“Keep far from a false charge, and don’t kill the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.

Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?

Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,

If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

You show loving kindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them. The great, the mighty God, Yahweh of Armies is your name:

Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”

Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he should be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;

For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;

“If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;

‘Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?

“Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God?

For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.

I will tell God, ‘Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.

What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,

not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children’s children, on the third and on the fourth generation.”

Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?

If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;

Yahweh, the God of Israel, you are righteous; for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is today. Behold, we are before you in our guiltiness; for no one can stand before you because of this.”

Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me. Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.

what then will I do when God rises up? When he visits, what will I answer him?

Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

“Behold, he will come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, I will appoint him over it. For who is like me? Who will appoint me a time? Who is the shepherd who will stand before me?”

The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”

But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
