Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for in Your eyes no one living is righteous.
Then Adonai said to me: “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: ‘Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.’
I gave them My laws and taught them My judgments, which if a man does, he will live by them.
I tell you, this man, rather than the other, went down to his home declared righteous. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
But answering, He said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who are hearing the word of God and doing it.”
For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on Torah, “The man who does these things shall live by them.”
Circumcision is indeed worthwhile if you keep the Torah; but if you break the Torah, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
For no human, on the basis of Torah observance, will be set right in His sight—for through the Torah comes awareness of sin.
Since God is One, He will set right the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this. It is the Lord who judges me.
Yet we know that a person is set right not by deeds based on Torah, but rather through putting trust in Messiah Yeshua. So even we have put our trust in Messiah Yeshua, in order that we might be set right based on trust in Messiah and not by deeds based on Torah—because no human will be justified by deeds based on Torah.
You who are trying to be justified by Torah have been cut off from Messiah; you have fallen away from grace.
“Now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and ordinances that I am teaching you to do, so that you may live and go in and possess the land that Adonai the God of your fathers is giving you.
Moses called to all Israel and said to them, “Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances that I am speaking in your hearing today, learn them and make sure to do them.
Hear, therefore, O Israel, and take care to do this, so that it may go well with you and you may increase mightily, as Adonai the God of your fathers has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who does what is right is born of Him.
Children, let no one mislead you! The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Yeshua is righteous.
