As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.

For all have sinned And fall short of the glory of God.

For the wages of sin is death, But the gift of God is eternal life In Christ Jesus our Lord.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
