9 ^uwho saved us and ^vcalled us to¹ a holy calling, ^wnot because of our works but because of ^vhis own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus ^xbefore the ages began,²

5 he saved us, ^enot because of works done by us in righteousness, but ^faccording to his own mercy, by ^gthe washing of regeneration and ^hrenewal of the Holy Spirit,

20 For ^yby works of the law no human being¹ will be justified in his sight, since ^zthrough the law comes knowledge of sin.

28 For we hold that one is justified by faith ^papart from works of the law.
