Romans 3:21-31 - Righteousness Through Faith Revealed
21 But now, without the law, righteousness before God is manifested, being attested by the law and the prophets; 22 and this righteousness of God is by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all believers; 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, because of the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 whom God hath appointed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, in the remission of past sins, according to the forbearance of God; 26 for a demonstration, I say, of his righteousness at this time: that He might be just, and the justifier of him, that believeth in Jesus.
27 Where then is boasting? it is excluded: by what law? of works? no: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude, that a man is justified by faith, without the works of the law: 29 or is He the God of the Jews only, and not also of the Gentiles? 30 surely of the Gentiles also: seeing it is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision also through faith. 31 Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: yea we establish the law.
