Job 9:2-3, Psa 143:2, Rom 8:33-34, Gal 2:16-17 | ESV | STEP | Truly I know that it is so: But how can a man be in the right before God ?

Job 9:2-3

2 “Truly I know that it is so:
But how can a man be ^ain the right before God?
3 If one wished to ^bcontend with him,
one could not answer him once in a thousand times.

Psalms 143:2

2 ^cEnter not into judgment with your servant,
for no one living is righteous ^dbefore you.

Romans 8:33-34

33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? ^eIt is God who justifies. 34 ^fWho is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised— ^gwho is at the right hand of God, ^hwho indeed is interceding for us. ^{▼▼Or Is it Christ Jesus who died . . . for us?}

Galatians 2:16-17

16 yet we know that ^ja person is not justified ^{▼▼Or counted righteous (three times in verse 16); also verse 17} by works of the law ^lbut through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, ^mbecause by works of the law no one will be justified.

17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found ⁿto be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!
