Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness

just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works

This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?
