Romans 3:21

Righteousness Through Faith Revealed

²⁰ For no human being can be made upright in the sight of God by observing the Law. All that the Law can do is to make man conscious of sin. ²¹ But now God's way of uprightness has been disclosed without any reference to law, though the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it. ²² It is God's way of uprightness and comes through having faith in Jesus Christ, and it is for all who have faith, without distinction.
