Romans 3:21-31 - Righteousness Through Faith Revealed
21 BUT now God's righteousness has been made manifest without the law, being testified to by the law and the prophets, 22 but God's righteousness is through the faith of Jesus Christ, in 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 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth [to be] a propitiator through faith in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing by of the errors committed previously in the forbearance of God, 26 to show his righteousness at the present time, that he may be righteous and justify him that is of faith.
27 Where then is the boasting [of the Jew]? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No; but by the law of faith. 28 We conclude then that a man is justified by faith without the works of the law. 29 Is God [a God] of the Jews alone? and not also of the gentiles? Yes, also of the gentiles, 30 since there is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith and the uncircumcision through the [same] faith. 31 Do we then abrogate the law by the faith? By no means; but we establish the law.
