He had done no violence,
Nor was any deceit in His mouth.-Is53
righteous? self? New?
who speaks on his own seeks self glory-John7
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.-Rom4
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record
that God gave of his Son.-1John5
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.-1Tim1
Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves (THEMSELVES) that they were righteous, and despised others: “Two men went up to the
temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like
other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ And the
publican, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ I
tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself (HIMSELF) will be humbled, and he who
humbles himself will be exalted.”-Luke18
that I may win Christ, and be found in him, not having mine own(OWN) righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of
Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith-Philippians3
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son (the Word who was God that became flesh), whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he
made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when
he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high-Hebrews1
now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference-Rom3
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ (by the one mans death all died-2Cor5); that ye should be married to
another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God-Rom7
as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive-1Cor15
For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the
righteousness of God.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.-Rom10
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.-2Cor5
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot
disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.-Gal3
