As with the Godhead and Marriage, there is not one without the other.

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

There is no faith, where there is no righteousness of God, because faith is through His righteousness.

Those who halt at faith, to cut off righteousness from salvation, grace, and faith, have none of them from the Lord, but only in their own minds and vain imagination.

And there is no righteousness of God without doing it and being righteous, even as He is.

Therefore, there is no justification without works of righteousness, and there is no salvation without justification, and there is no grace with dead faith alone.

And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

The grace of Jesus is only with the righteous, even as the grace of God was with righteous Jesus, for His grace is only had by them seeking help in time of need to not sin with the devil, but to do righteously with Jesus.

Grace is only with them that are tempted in any point as Jesus, yet without sinning.

Those lusting to commit sin and sinning with the devil hate the grace of Jesus, and want it and Him far from them during their sinning, which both it and Him are far from them, and certainly not with them, and least of all within the children of the devil.

Saints in Christ Jesus endure temptation with grace, while children of the devil are enemies of God during their finishing of temptation.

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.


The salvation of Jesus is obtained by grace through faith, and the faith of Jesus is obtained by grace through righteousness.

Where there is no righteousness, there is no faith obtained, and where there is no faith, there is no grace and no salvation obtained.

Only through the righteousness of God do we obtain faith and salvation by grace.

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

Them not doing righteousness, have no righteousness of God at all, nor faith, nor grace, nor salvation of Jesus.

If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

Nor birth of God.

All unrighteousness is sin.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God.


While sinning for the devil, the child of the devil is not doing righteousness of God, but unrighteousness of the devil, and have no righteousness, faith, grace, nor salvation of God, but only shame and condemnation and nakedness of the devil.

How come you left out the word "imputed" as in "imputed righteousness"? Which tells us that you are trying to pervert Gospel truth. Nothing new.
Well, probably because Peter does not say through the 'imputed' righteousness of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ.

That's vain imagination added by people such as yourself, who like to think you are righteous and have the righteousness of God, without doing His righteousness.

Imputed righteousness by faith is knowledge and desire for His righteousness only. Being righteous as He is righteous is only be doing it, which is what Jesus did, as well as them that walk as He walked in the righteousness of God.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Hearing with faith is imputed righteousness only, not being righteous by doing it.

Imputed righteousness and faith dies the moment any man is sinning with the devil and doing not the righteousness of God.

It dies, because the children of the devil are not born of God, and have no fellowship of the Spirit with Christ in the heart and soul.

Now, if you want to answer honestly, as I have, do so:

While any one is sinning with the devil against God, can that person be born of God, and not a child of the devil?

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.

Wisdom = righteousness = sanctification = redemption

Not one without the other: There is no redemption of God without the righteousness of God, and there is no righteousness of God without doing it, which is sanctification from sinning.

Without doing the righteousness of God and walking as Jesus walked on earth, there is no wisdom, sanctification, nor redemption.

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.

Redemption = forgiveness.

And so, if there is no righteousness, there is no redemption, nor forgiveness of sins, without which which there is no salvation nor justification by Christ.

Sinning with the devil is not doing the righteousness of God, having no righteousness, redemption, forgiveness of sins, salvation, nor justification by Christ.

There is none of those while sinning with the devil, and being a friend of the world and enemy of God.

Romans 4:5 - But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, 6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works.
