Romans 3:21-31 - Righteousness Through Faith Revealed
21 But now, apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 even a righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all who believe; for there is no distinction; 23 for all sinned, and are coming short of the glory of God; 24 being justified freely by His grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 Whom God set forth as a propitiation, through faith in His blood, for the manifestation of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the formerly-committed sins in the forbearance of God: 26 for the manifestation of His righteousness in the present time, to the end that He may be righteous, even when declaring righteous him who has faith in Jesus.
27 Where, then, is the boasting? It was excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? Nay; but by a law of faith. 28 For we reckon that a man is justified by faith, apart from works of law. 29 Or is He the God of Jews only? Is He not of gentiles also! Yes, of gentiles also; 30 if, indeed, God is One Who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we, then, make void the law through faith? It could not be! Yea, we establish the law.
