Context Readings

Righteousness Through Faith Revealed

21 But now [i.e., under the Gospel age], a way of being considered right with God apart from [any] law has been made known. [The writings of] the law [i.e., the Pentateuch] and the prophets bear witness to this. 22 Being considered right with God is [obtained] through faith in Jesus Christ by every person who believes [in Him], for there is no favoritism [with God], 23 for everyone has sinned and falls short of God's glory [i.e., His approval, or His perfect character].
