2 Corinthians 3:9 Cross References - Worsley

⁹ For if the ministration of condemnation was so glorious, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory:

¹⁷ for the righteousness of God is therein revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." ¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who withhold the truth in unrighteousness;

¹⁵ But not as the offence, so also is the free gift: for if through the offence of one many died, much more hath the grace of God, and the gift bestowed by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. ¹⁶ For the gift is not as the sentence was by one that sinned; for the sentence is passed from one offence to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences to justification. ¹⁷ For if, by the offence of one, death reigned through one, much more they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life through one, even Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ Therefore as by the offence of one the effect of it was upon all men to condemnation: so also by the righteousness of one, the effect was upon all men to justification of life. ¹⁹ For as by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners; so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous. ²⁰ Now the law made some entrance, that the offence might appear to abound; but where sin abounded, grace hath superabounded; that as sin had reigned in death, ²¹ so grace might reign through righteousness, unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.

³ For that which was impossible for the law to do, and in which it was weak through the corruption of the flesh, God by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sacrifice for sin, hath done; that is, hath condemned sin in the flesh: ⁴ that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.

³ For being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness which is of God. ⁴ For Christ is the end of the law, for righteousness to every believer. ⁵ For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, "That the man who doth those things shall live by them." ⁶ But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh thus, "Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, (that is, to bring Christ down) or, ⁷ who shall descend into the deep, (that is, to ⁸ bring up Christ from the dead)" but what saith it? "The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart." This is the word of faith which we preach: that if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, ⁹ and believe in thine heart, that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

⁴ Christ is become nothing to you, whosoever of you are seeking to be justified by the law: ye are fallen from the grace of the gospel. ⁵ For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

⁵ Now Moses was indeed faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of the things which were to be spoken: ⁶ but Christ as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we maintain the free profession and exultation of hope firm unto the end.
