But I have another righteousness

“But where Christ is truly see indeed, there must needs be full and perfect joy in the Lord, with peace of conscience, which is most certainly thus thinketh: Although I am a sinner by the law, as touching the righteousness of the law, yet I despair not, yet I die not, because Christ liveth, who is both my righteousness and everlasting and heavenly life. In that righteousness and life I have not sin, no sting of conscience, not care of death. I am indeed sinner as touching this present life and the righteousness thereof, as the child of Adam: where the law accuseth me, death reigneth over me, and at length would devour me. But I have another righteousness and life above this life, which is Christ the Son of God, who knoweth no sin nor death, but is righteousness and life eternal: by who even this my body, being dead and brought into dust, shall be raised up again and delivered from the bondage of the law and sin, and shall be sanctified together together with the Spirit.” Martin Luther
