Righteousness Or Justification

"Understand, then, that those who follow the way of faith are sons and daughters of Abraham.

The Scriptures foresaw that, by the way of faith, GOD would give true righteousness to the non-Jewish nations.  For GOD's promise to Abraham was this: In you shall all the nations be blessed.  So, now, those who take the way of faith receive the same blessing as Abraham, who believed; but those who rely on the practice of the law are under a curse, for it is written: Cursed is everyone who does not always fulfill everything written in the law.

It is plainly written that no one becomes righteous in GOD's way, by the law: by faith the righteous shall live.  Yet the law gives no place to faith, for according to it: the one who fulfills the commandments shall have life through them.

Now CHRIST rescued us from the curse of the law, by becoming cursed HIMSELF, for our sake, as it is written: there is a curse on everyone who is hanged on a tree.  So the blessing granted to Abraham, reached the pagan nations in, and, with CHRIST, and we received the promised Spirit, through faith." - Galatians 3:7-14 

(Righteousness or justification.  Like in Romans Paul will use this word abundantly.  It means that through faith we are set right with GOD and our self is re-ordered so as to enter HIS ways.)
