TSK · Luke 18:14

Now I know that the LORD is greater than all the gods, for in the thing in which they dealt proudly against them he has destroyed them.”

Although I am innocent, my mouth would condemn me; although I am blameless, it would declare me perverse.

But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness.

Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.
