39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

12 But to all who did receive him, ^swho believed in his name, ^the gave the right ^uto become ^vchildren of God,

9 and be found in him, not having ^fa righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but ^gthat which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—

16 yet we know that ⁿa person is not justified¹ by works of the law ^obut through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, ^pbecause by works of the law no one will be justified.
