RIGHTEOUSNESS AND SIN (BIBLE SCRIPTURES)

God says that His righteousness (Psalm 119:172 NKJ) shall not be abolished (Isaiah 51:6 NKJ)

Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; BECAUSE YOU DID NOT GIVE HIM WARNING, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS SIN, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH HE HAS DONE SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED; BUT HIS BLOOD I WILL REQUIRE AT YOUR HAND. Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul." (Ezekiel 3:21 NKJ)

"But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? ALL THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH HE HAS DONE SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED; BECAUSE OF THE UNFAITHFULNESS OF WHICH HE IS GUILTY AND THE SIN WHICH HE HAS COMMITTED, because of them he shall die.

(Ezekiel 18:24 NKJ)

"Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your people: 'THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL NOT DELIVER HIM IN THE DAY OF HIS TRANSGRESSION; as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; NOR SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS BE ABLE TO LIVE BECAUSE OF HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE DAY THAT HE SINS.'

 (Ezekiel 33:12 NKJ)

THE SOUL WHO SINS SHALL DIE. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

(Ezekiel 18:20 NKJ)

Now "If THE RIGHTEOUS ONE IS SCARCELY SAVED, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"

(1 Peter 4:18 NKJ)

And they were both RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD, WALKING IN ALL THE COMMANDMENTS and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

(Luke 1:6 NKJ)

My tongue shall speak of Your word, For ALL YOUR COMMANDMENTS ARE RIGHTEOUSNESS.

(Psalm 119:172 NKJ)

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, And look on the earth beneath. For the heavens will vanish away like smoke, The earth will grow old like a garment, And those who dwell in it will die in like manner; But My salvation will be forever, And MY RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL NOT BE ABOLISHED.

(Isaiah 51:6 NKJ)

Then IT WILL BE RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR US, IF WE ARE CAREFUL TO OBSERVE ALL THESE COMMANDMENTS before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us.'

 (Deuteronomy 6:25 NKJ)

Oh, THAT YOU HAD HEEDED MY COMMANDMENTS! Then your peace would have been like a river, And YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS like the waves of the sea. (Isaiah 48:18 NKJ)

But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, WE OURSELVES ALSO ARE FOUND SINNERS, IS CHRIST THEREFORE A MINISTER OF SIN? CERTAINLY NOT!

(Galatians 2:17 NKJ)

And then I will declare to them, 'I NEVER KNEW YOU; depart from Me, you WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS!'

 (Matthew 7:23 NKJ)

The Son of Man will send out His angels, and THEY WILL GATHER OUT OF HIS KINGDOM all things that offend, and THOSE WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS,

(Matthew 13:41 NKJ)

WHOEVER COMMITS SIN ALSO COMMITS LAWLESSNESS, AND SIN IS LAWLESSNESS. (1 John 3:4 NKJ) Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (1 John 3:4 KJV)

Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but INSIDE YOU ARE FULL OF HYPOCRISY AND LAWLESSNESS. (Matthew 23:28 NKJ)

I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, WITH THE MIND I MYSELF SERVE THE LAW OF GOD, BUT WITH THE FLESH THE LAW OF SIN. (Romans 7:25 NKJ)

FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NKJ)

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. (Romans 8:2 NKJ)

And if Christ is in you, THE BODY IS DEAD BECAUSE OF SIN, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. (Romans 8:10 NKJ)

And BECAUSE LAWLESSNESS WILL ABOUND, THE LOVE OF MANY WILL GROW COLD. (Matthew 24:12 NKJ)

I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now PRESENT YOUR MEMBERS AS SLAVES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR HOLINESS. (Romans 6:19 NKJ)

Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For WHAT FELLOWSHIP HAS RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH LAWLESSNESS? And what communion has light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14 NKJ)

YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED LAWLESSNESS; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions." (Hebrews 1:9 NKJ)

Then Peter opened his mouth, and said , Of a truth I perceive that GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: (Acts 10:34 KJV)

But from those who seemed to be something--whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; GOD SHOWS PERSONAL FAVORITISM TO NO MAN--for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me. (Galatians 2:6 NKJ)

  Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23 NKJ)

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 

(James 4:7 ESV)
