Ro. 4:3‑13,20‑22• 3Porque ¿qué dice la Escritura? Y creyó Abraham á Dios, y le fué atribuído á justicia.
4Empero al que obra, no se le cuenta el salario por merced, sino por deuda.
5Mas al que no obra, pero cree en aquél que justifica al impío, la fe le es contada por justicia.
6Como también David dice ser bienaventurado el hombre al cual Dios atribuye justicia sin obras,
7Diciendo: Bienaventurados aquellos cuyas iniquidades son perdonadas, Y cuyos pecados son cubiertos.
8Bienaventurado el varón al cual el Señor no imputó pecado.
9¿Es pues esta bienaventuranza solamente en la circuncisión ó también en la incircuncisión? porque decimos que á Abraham fué contada la fe por justicia.
10¿Cómo pues le fué contada? ¿en la circuncisión, ó en la incircuncisión? No en la circuncisión, sino en la incircuncisión.
11Y recibió la circuncisión por señal, por sello de la justicia de la fe que tuvo en la incircuncisión: para que fuese padre de todos los creyentes no circuncidados, para que también á ellos les sea contado por justicia;
12Y padre de la circuncisión, no solamente á los que son de la circuncisión, más también á los que siguen las pisadas de la fe que fué en nuestro padre Abraham antes de ser circuncidado.
13Porque no por la ley fué dada la promesa á Abraham ó á su simiente, que sería heredero del mundo, sino por la justicia de la fe.
20Tampoco en la promesa de Dios dudó con desconfianza: antes fué esforzado en fe, dando gloria á Dios,
21Plenamente convencido de que todo lo que había prometido, era también poderoso para hacerlo.
22Por lo cual también le fué atribuído á justicia.

Ro. 5:1‑11• 1Justificados pues por la fe, tenemos paz para con Dios por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo:
2Por el cual también tenemos entrada por la fe á esta gracia en la cual estamos firmes, y nos gloriamos en la esperanza de la gloria de Dios.
3Y no sólo esto, mas aun nos gloriamos en las tribulaciones, sabiendo que la tribulación produce paciencia;
4Y la paciencia, prueba; y la prueba, esperanza;
5Y la esperanza no avergüenza; porque el amor de Dios está derramado en nuestros corazones por el Espíritu Santo que nos es dado.
6Porque Cristo, cuando aún éramos flacos, á su tiempo murió por los impíos.
7Ciertamente apenas muere algun por un justo: con todo podrá ser que alguno osara morir por el bueno.
8Mas Dios encarece su caridad para con nosotros, porque siendo aún pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros.
9Luego mucho más ahora, justificados en su sangre, por él seremos salvos de la ira.
10Porque si siendo enemigos, fuimos reconciliado con Dios por la muerte de su Hijo, mucho más, estando reconciliados, seremos salvos por su vida.
11Y no sólo esto, mas aun nos gloriamos en Dios por el Señor nuestro Jesucristo, por el cual hemos ahora recibido la reconciliación.

for there.
 God's righteousness (for man universally had been shown to have none)—God's righteousness unto all (such is the aspect of divine grace) and upon all that believe (such is the effect where there is faith in Jesus). Therein God is just and justifies the believer. (On 1 Timothy 2:5-7 by W. Kelly)
 It is the righteousness of God by faith in Jesus Christ. Man has not accomplished it, man has not procured it. It is of God, it is His righteousness; by believing in Jesus Christ participation in it is obtained. (Romans 3:21-31 by J.N. Darby)
 It was the righteousness of God “unto all.” A Jew was not more in relation with the righteousness of God than a Gentile. (Romans 3:21-31 by J.N. Darby)
 A righteousness of God for man, because no man had any for God, it was applied to all those who believe in Jesus. Wherever there was faith, there it was applied. (Romans 3:21-31 by J.N. Darby)
 "By faith in Jesus Christ" (W. Kelly Trans.). Simply put, what the righteousness of God has secured for man (i.e. the salvation of our souls) is appropriated by a person having faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Deliverance From the Penalty of Sins: Romans 3:21-5:11 by B. Anstey)
 God's desire for all men is that they would be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:4). Therefore, what has been secured at the cross by the righteousness of God is "towards all and upon all that believe." (Deliverance From the Penalty of Sins: Romans 3:21-5:11 by B. Anstey)
 The "no difference" that Paul is speaking about in this verse is in respect to men falling short of God's glory and God's standards of holiness. (Deliverance From the Penalty of Sins: Romans 3:21-5:11 by B. Anstey)

Lit. "of."

The MSS. differ as to the text. Some of the most ancient omit "and upon all." But I agree with the judgment of those who retain the T. R. The gospel addresses itself to every creature. As it is "unto all," he who does not preach it "unto all" misunderstands his duty as a herald of the gospel. On the other hand, the righteousness of God is not merely "unto all them that believe," but "upon" them. The effect produced; which is not upon all mankind, but only "upon all that believe." We have therefore the universal aspect of the gospel in going out to every creature; and the positive effect upon all those that believe.
