For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith— and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. (niv)

And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (niv)

He has saved us and called us to a holy life— not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, (niv)

and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also— not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, (niv)

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, (niv)

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is— his good, pleasing and perfect will. (niv)

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, (niv)

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. (niv)

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (niv)

He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful (niv)

Jesus replied,“ Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”“ How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked.“ Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”Jesus answered,“ Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. (niv)

For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. (niv)

Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you. (niv)

because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven (niv)

But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. (niv)

How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure? (niv)

The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say“ and to seeds,” meaning many people, but“ and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ.What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator.A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one.Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. (niv)

to be made new in the attitude of your minds; (niv)

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. (niv)

And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. (niv)

Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad— in order that God’s purpose in election might stand: (niv)

Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. (niv)

know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. (niv)

to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace (niv)

to show mercy to our ancestors and to remember his holy covenant, (niv)

His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. (niv)

and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. (niv)

However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. (niv)

Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. (niv)

I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not benefit you. (niv)

What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; (niv)

It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. (niv)

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, (niv)

and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. (niv)

and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and,“ You reward everyone according to what they have done.” (niv)

He answered,“‘ Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and,‘ Love your neighbor as yourself.’”“ You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied.“ Do this and you will live.”But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus,“ And who is my neighbor?” (niv)

You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. (niv)

Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. (niv)

“ What are mortals, that they could be pure, or those born of woman, that they could be righteous? (niv)
