Romans 3:21

Righteousness Through Faith Revealed

²⁰ For no one will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, because the knowledge of sin comes through the law. ²¹ But now, apart from the law, God’s righteousness has been revealed—attested by the Law and the Prophets ²² —that is, God’s righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, to all who believe, since there is no distinction.
