3. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16 (ESV)
4. On that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. Romans 2:16 (ESV)
5. None is righteous, no, not one Romans 3:10 (ESV)
6. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood - to be received by faith. Romans 3:22-25 (NIV)
7. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV)
8. Romans 4:13-25 (ESV)
9. And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Hebrews 11:6 (ESV)

Romans 4:18-19 (ESV)
