Romans 3:21-31 - Righteousness Through Faith Revealed
21 But now, apart from the Law, the righteousness which is of God, to which the Law and the Prophets bear testimony, 22 even the righteousness which is of God through faith in Jesus Christ, hath been made manifest to all and for all believers. For there is no distinction. 23 For all have sinned, and fail of obtaining the glory which cometh from God; 24 being accepted as righteous freely, by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom, in his blood, through faith, God hath set forth as a propitiatory sacrifice, in order to manifest his righteousness, on account of his passing by, in his forbearance, the sins committed in former times; 26 in order to manifest his righteousness at the present time, so that he may be righteous, and accept as righteous him who hath faith.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay; but by the law of faith. 28 We conclude therefore, that a man is accepted as righteous through faith, without the works of the Law. 29 Or is God [the God] of Jews alone? Is he not also the God of gentiles? Yea, of gentiles also. 30 Seeing there is but one God, who will accept the circumcised as righteous by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith. 31 Do we then make void the Law through faith? Far be it! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
