9 passages from patristic writers, Reformers, and church catechisms citing this verse.
§1992Justification has been merited for us by the Passion of Christ who offered himself on the cross as a living victim, holy and pleasing to God, and whose blood has become the instrument of atonement for the sins of all men. Justification is conferred in Baptism, the sacrament of faith. It conforms us to the righteousness of God, who makes us inwardly just by the power of his merc…
Chapter 4.—About the Prefigured Change of the Israelitic Kingdom and Priesthood, and About the Things Hannah the Mother of Samuel Prophesied, Personating the Church. Therefore the advance of the city of God, where it reached the times of the kings, yielded a figure, when, on the rejection of Saul, David first obtained the kingdom on such a footing that thenceforth his descendan…
It is taught among us that we cannot obtain forgiveness of sin and righteousness before God through our own merit, work, or satisfactions, but that we receive forgiveness of sin and become righteous before God out of grace for Christ's sake through faith when we believe that Christ has suffered for us and that for his sake our sin is forgiven and righteousness and eternal life …
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Calvin shows that Paul's conclusion is devastating: there is none righteous, no not one. The advantage of the Jew lay in having the oracles of God, but this did not exempt them from condemnation. By the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified, for the law is a mirror that shows sin, not a ladder to climb to righteous…
We believe that God—who is perfectly merciful and also very just—sent the Son to assume the nature in which the disobedience had been committed, in order to bear in it the punishment of sin by his most bitter passion and death. So God made known his justice toward his Son, who was charged with our sin, and he poured out his goodness and mercy on us, who are guilty and worthy of…
The longest and most important article of the Apology. Melanchthon defends the Reformation teaching that sinners are justified freely by grace through faith in Christ, apart from works of the Law. Faith is not merely knowledge but trust (fiducia) in God's promise of mercy for Christ's sake. Justification is forensic — God declares the sinner righteous by imputing Christ's right…
