TSK · Romans 1:17

Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.

For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn't follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
