The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

1 Blessed is the man ^{▼▼The singular Hebrew word for man (ish) is used here to portray a representative example of a godly person; see Preface}
who ^bwalks not in ^cthe counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in ^dthe way of sinners,
nor ^esits in ^fthe seat of ^gscoffers;
2 but his ^hdelight is in the law ^{▼▼Or instruction} of the Lord,
and on his ^jlaw he meditates day and night.

4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
but ^kthe righteous shall live by his faith. ^{▼▼Or faithfulness}

Romans 3:22

22 the righteousness of God ^mthrough faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. ⁿFor there is no distinction:

Galatians 2:16

16 yet we know that ^oa person is not justified ^{▼▼Or counted righteous (three times in verse 16); also verse 17} by works of the law ^qbut 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, ^rbecause by works of the law no one will be justified.

Galatians 3:8

8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that ^sGod would justify ^{▼▼Or count righteous; also verses 11, 24} the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, ^u“In you shall all the nations be blessed.”

Ephesians 2:10

10 For ^vwe are his workmanship, ^wcreated in Christ Jesus ^xfor good works, ^ywhich God prepared beforehand, ^zthat we should walk in them.
