Romans 3:21-31 - Righteousness Through Faith Revealed
21 But now distinct from the law the righteousness of God is manifest, receiving testimony from the law and the prophets; 22 the righteousness of God indeed by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all that believe: for there is no difference: 23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 justified freely by his grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus: 25 whom God hath proposed as the propitiatory sacrifice through faith in his blood, in demonstration of his justice for the remission of past sins, through the patience of God; 26 for a demonstration of his justice at this present time: that he might be just, though justifying him who is of the faith of Jesus.
27 Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No: but by the law of faith. 28 We conclude therefore that by faith a man is justified, without works of law. 29 Is he the God of the Jews only, and is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, verily, of the Gentiles also: 30 since it is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we then abolish the law through faith? God forbid: but on the contrary, we give the law stability.
