If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
Enter not into judgment with your servant, for no one living is righteous before you.
For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.
