Romans 3:21-31 - Righteousness Through Faith Revealed
21 But now without law the justice of God has been made apparent, being testified by the law and by the prophets; 22 And the justice of God by faith of Jesus Christ to all and upon all believing: for there is no distinction: 23 For all have sinned, and failed of the glory of God; 24 Being justified as a gift by his grace by the redemption which is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God had set before a propitiatory by faith in his blood, for a manifestation of his justice by passing over of sins before existing, in the sufferance of God; 26 For the manifestation of his justice now in time: for him to be just, and justifying him of the faith of Jesus.
27 Where then boasting? It was excluded. By what law? of works? No: but by the law of faith. 28 We reckon then man to be justified by faith without the works of the law. 29 Or only the God of the Jews? and not also of the nations? Yes, also of the nations: 30 Since one God, who will justify circumcision of faith, and uncircumcision by faith. 31 Therefore shall we leave the law inactive by faith It may not be: but we should establish the law.
