Romans 3:21-31 - Righteousness Through Faith Revealed
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. 23 For everybody has sinned and everybody continues to come short of God's glory, 24 but anybody may have right standing with God as a free gift of His undeserved favor, through the ransom provided in Christ Jesus. 25 For God once publicly offered Him in His death as a sacrifice of reconciliation through faith, to demonstrate His own justice (for in His forbearance God had passed over men's former sins); 26 yes, to demonstrate His justice at the present time, to prove that He is right Himself, and that He considers right with Himself the man who has faith in Jesus.
27 So where has human boasting gone? It was completely shut out. On what principle? On that of doing something? No, but on the principle of faith. 28 For we hold that a man is brought into right standing with God by faith, that observance of the law has no connection with it. 29 Or is He the God of Jews alone? Is He not the God of heathen peoples too? Of course, He is the God of heathen peoples too, 30 since there is but one God, who will consider the Jews in right standing with Himself, only on condition of their faith, and the heathen peoples on the same condition. 31 Do we then through faith make null and void the law? Not at all; instead, we confirm it.
