1. Deuteronomy 6:25

   And if we are careful to observe every one of these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us, then that will be our righteousness.”

   ›Commentary on Deuteronomy 6:252 voices

   “And it shall be our righteousness,....

   “It shall be our righteousness - The evidence that we are under the influence of the fear and love of God. Moses does not say that this righteousness could be wrought without the influence of God’s mercy, nor does he say that they should purchase heaven by it: but, God required them to be conformed to his will in all things, that they might be holy in heart, and righteous in every part of their moral conduct. 1. On a very important subject in this chapter, it may be necessary to make some farther observations.

2. Deuteronomy 24:13

   be sure to return it to him by sunset, so that he may sleep in his own cloak and bless you, and this will be credited to you as righteousness before the LORD your God.

   ›Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:132 voices

   “Our brother becomes our debtor when our neighbor is shown to have committed some sin against us. For we call sins debts. Thus the sinful servant is told, "I have forgiven you your whole debt." And each day in the Lord's Prayer we pray, "Forgive …

3. Nehemiah 5:19

   Remember me favorably, O my God, for all that I have done for this people.

   ›Commentary on Nehemiah 5:192 voices

   “Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people. He expected not any recompence from the people, but from the Lord; and from him not in a way of merit, but of grace and good will, who forgets not what is done for his name's sake, Heb 6:10.

   “Think upon me, my God, for good - Nehemiah wishes for no reward from man; and he only asks mercy at the hand of his God for what his providence enabled him to do; and which, according to the good hand of his God upon him, he had done faithfully. He does not offer his good deeds to God in extenuation of his sins, or as a compensation for the heaven he expected.

4. Nehemiah 13:14

   Remember me for this, O my God, and do not blot out my deeds of loving devotion for the house of my God and for its services.

   ›Commentary on Nehemiah 13:142 voices

   “Remember me, O my God, concerning this,....

   “Wipe not out my good deeds - If thou wert strict to mark what is done amiss, even my good deeds must be wiped out; but, Lord, remember me in thy mercy, and let my upright conduct be acceptable to thee!

5. Job 30:25

   Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has my soul not grieved for the needy?

   ›Commentary on Job 30:251 voice

   “I wept of old over him that was in trouble; my soul suffered with the poor. Though it is true compassion to concur with the suffering of a fellow creature by bountifulness, yet sometimes when the several outward things are abundantly provided for us to bestow, the hand of him that gives finds the act of giving more quickly than the feeling does sorrow.

6. Psalms 37:3

   Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

   ›Commentary on Psalms 37:31 voice

   “(Verse 3.) Therefore the Prophet rightly says: Hope in the Lord, and do good; and you shall inhabit the land, and shall be fed with its riches. What is the land that he advises to inhabit, if not your soul, which you should cultivate well, frequently plowing it with spiritual plows, so that it does not become overgrown with weeds? For a good farmer works his field with daily activity and diligent care, and protects his own fields; lest a wild boar from the forest devastate them, and a cunning thief snatch away the ripe fruits.

7. Psalms 49:7

   No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.

   ›Commentary on Psalms 49:71 voice

   “Just as there is one God, "so too there is only one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." He is unique. He alone redeems humankind. He goes far beyond brotherly love, for he sheds his own blood for strangers. None other could offer him for his brother. To redeem us from sin, he did not spare his own body "but gave himself as redemption for all." … Why, you might ask, is Christ the only one who redeems?

9. Psalms 90:17

   May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish for us the work of our hands— yes, establish the work of our hands!

   ›Commentary on Psalms 90:171 voice

   “Thus, if Isaiah says, "The everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth"; and Susanna said, "O everlasting God";42 and Baruch wrote, "I will cry to the Everlasting in my days," and shortly after, "My hope is in the Everlasting, that he will have you, and joy is come to me from the holy One"; yet forasmuch as the apostle, writing to the Hebrews, says, "Who being the radiance of his glory and the expression of his person";44 and David too in the ninetieth psalm, "And the brightness of the Lord be on us," and, "In your light shall we see light," who has so little sense as to doubt the eternity of the Son?

    “Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment,.... When none else would, he rose up in great zeal for the Lord of hosts; and took on him the work of a civil magistrate, and slew two persons of noble birth in the very act of fornication.

12. Psalms 127:1

    Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain.

    ›Commentary on Psalms 127:11 voice

    “And someone may say, as Epicurus and Aristippus and the Cyrenaics do, and the rest of the beasts called philosophers. But reflecting carefully within myself, I find that not, as some mistakenly believe, everything is done by chance, and that fortune plays a varied role in human affairs, but rather that everything is done by the judgment of God. For even if a swift runner were to think that he determines his own course with his feet, he does not.

13. Psalms 127:2

    In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat— for He gives sleep to His beloved.

    ›Commentary on Psalms 127:21 voice

    “But what kind of fruit they ought to bring forth is added: "And your fruit should remain." Everything for which we labor according to the present age barely suffices until death. For death intervening cuts off the fruit of our labor. But what is done for eternal life is preserved even after death; and it begins to appear when the fruit of carnal labors has begun to disappear. Therefore, that reward begins where this one ends. Whoever therefore has already come to know eternal things, let temporal fruits become worthless in his soul.

14. Ecclesiastes 1:14

    I have seen all the things that are done under the sun, and have found them all to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.

    ›Commentary on Ecclesiastes 1:141 voice

    "I have seen all the deeds done underneath the sun, and behold all is futile and a vexation of the spirit." We are compelled here by necessity to examine the Hebrew words more closely than we wish. It is also not possible to know the real meaning of the text, unless we learn it through studying the original Hebrew words. Aquila and Theodotion translate "routh "as the Greek "nomen", Symmachus has "boskesin". The Septuagint does not express the Hebrew meaning, but the Syriac, as shown in the Greek word "proairesin".

15. Ecclesiastes 12:14

    For God will bring every deed into judgment, along with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.

    ›Commentary on Ecclesiastes 12:142 voices

    “Consider how grave an error it is to call God's Word a work. Solomon says in one place in Ecclesiastes that "God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil." If then the Word is a work, do you mean that he as well as others will be brought into judgment? And what room is there for judgment, when the Judge is on trial?

16. Isaiah 43:26

    Remind Me, let us argue the matter together. State your case, so that you may be vindicated.

    ›Commentary on Isaiah 43:262 voices

    “(Verse 25, 26 and following) I am, I am myself, who blots out your iniquities for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. Bring me to remembrance, let us argue together; set forth your case, that you may be proved right. Your first ancestor sinned, and your interpreters transgressed against me. And I profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and delivered Jacob to destruction and Israel to reviling. LXX: I am, I am he who blots out your iniquities, and I will not remember. But remember, and let us argue together.

    We are just when we acknowledge that we are sinners, and our justice depends not on our personal merit but rather on the mercy of God, as holy Scripture says: "The just is an accuser of himself in the beginning of his plea." And in another place, "State your sins, that you may be justified."
