*1.* “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.” *2* “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. And be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith.” *3* “To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” *4* “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
