  witness with our spirit, that we are the children
  of God  And if children, then heirs heirs of
  God, and joint-heirs with Christ if so be that
  we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified
  together. (Romans 814-17)

• 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. (Gal. 216)
• But that no man is justified by the law in the
  sight of God, it is evident for, The just shall
  live by faith. (Gal 311)
• Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring
  us unto Christ, that we might be justified by
  faith. But after that faith is come, we are no
  longer under a schoolmaster. (Gal. 324-25)

  Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that
  God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
  saved. For with the heart man believeth unto

  Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
