He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

The LORD openeth {the eyes of} the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart {is} my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

The way of the wicked {is} as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

The way of man {is} froward and strange: but {as for} the pure, his work {is} right.

The way of the just {is} uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock {whence} ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit {whence} ye are digged.

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock {whence} ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit {whence} ye are digged.

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
