But now God's way of putting people right with himself has been revealed. It has nothing to do with law, even though the Law of Moses and the prophets gave their witness to it.

But what if some of them were not faithful? Does this mean that God will not be faithful?

And this is the message: 'Those who are evil will not survive, but those who are righteous will live because they are faithful to God.' "

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever disobeys the Son will not have life, but will remain under God's punishment.

Now, it is clear that no one is put right with God by means of the Law, because the scripture says, "Only the person who is put right with God through faith shall live."

and be completely united with him. I no longer have a righteousness of my own, the kind that is gained by obeying the Law. I now have the righteousness that is given through faith in Christ, the righteousness that comes from God and is based on faith.

My righteous people, however, will believe and live; but if any of them turns back, I will not be pleased with them."

No one can please God without faith, for whoever comes to God must have faith that God exists and rewards those who seek him.

It was faith that made Noah hear God's warnings about things in the future that he could not see. He obeyed God and built a boat in which he and his family were saved. As a result, the world was condemned, and Noah received from God the righteousness that comes by faith.
