Righteousness Through Faith Revealed
20 Because no human creature can be brought into right standing with God by observing the law. For all the law can do is to make men conscious of sin. 21 But now God's way of giving men right standing with Himself has come to light; a way without connection with the law, and yet a way to which the law and the prophets testify. 22 God's own way of giving men right standing with Himself is through faith in Jesus Christ. It is for everybody who has faith, for no distinction at all is made.
