The righteousness of God is unto all meaning that all men can be saved (1 Timothy 2:4-6 KJV) and upon all them that believe meaning put to our account/imputed (Romans 4:24-25 KJV) after we trust the Lord believing 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV).
As to the question I asked about where the righteousness of God is revealed: it is revealed in the gospel of Christ!
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

That's good. Then I see you like a Galatian. Someone has bewitched you into thinking you need to keep the law!
Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Galatians 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Galatians 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
This is all good.
No, no one has.

Then why are you constantly trying to put yourself and others under the yoke of bondage?
I don't. Jesus said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." We are talking about obeying Jesus here.

You most certainly are!
You want to place us under a curse!
Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
The law is not of faith!
Galatians 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
We were never under the law! The law was Israel's (and those allied with them) schoolmaster to bring them to Christ!
Galatians 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Galatians 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Galatians 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Why do you resort to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John that have nothing to do with us? (Matthew 10:5-6 KJV, Matthew 15:22-24 KJV, Romans 15:8 KJV)
You do not understand the scriptures. Something is wrong. And I am circumcised. No one can place you under a curse.
How do you obey Jesus?

I consider what Paul says and the Lord gives thee understanding (2 Timothy 2:7-8 KJV)
Yes, you resist the truth.
:chuckle:
The point is that you are trying to place others under the law just like those who were trying to put the Galatians under the law! And what did Paul tell the Galatians?
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Galatians 5:3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Why did you not answer my question?
Why do you resort to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John that have nothing to do with us? (Matthew 10:5-6 KJV, Matthew 15:22-24 KJV, Romans 15:8 KJV)
by faith
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
by the gospel
Ephesians 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
You are wrong. The Law is for the sinner.
Do you know the commands of Jesus? Where did you learn them from? I did answer your question. You have a problem with something in Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John.

No, you didn't. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have nothing to do with us (Matthew 10:5-6 KJV, Matthew 15:22-24 KJV, Romans 15:8 KJV) yet that is where you want to lead everyone, to a time past and future message to Israel. Why do you insist on knowing Christ after the flesh (2 Corinthians 5:16 KJV). Our instructions are by direct revelation of the risen, ascended, glorified Lord Jesus Christ to the apostle Paul (Galatians 1:11-12 KJV) to us (Romans 11:13 KJV, Ephesians 3:1-6 KJV) in the form of sound words of Romans through Philemon (2 Timtothy 1:13 KJV). It is the "but now" where the righteousness of God without the law is manifested (Romans 3:21-22 KJV), where we are dead to the law by the body of Christ (Romans 7:4 KJV) and where we have liberty in Christ and are not to be entangled with the yoke of bondage (Galatians 5:1-4 KJV). You need to recover yourself to the acknowledging of the truth (2 Timothy 2:24-26 KJV)putting yourself on the same page God would have you as you have been spoiled (Colossians 2:8 KJV).

Says the woman who believes not the glorious gospel of Christ and is blinded.You are doing a good job defending Jesus' word, Jacob.
thank you
2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

I am not under the law and neither are you. The grace of God is our teacher.
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
