Romans 3:21-31 ▼

21 But nowe is the righteousnes of God declared without the lawe, beyng witnessed by the testimonie of the lawe and of the prophetes.

22 The ryghteousnes of God commeth by the fayth of Iesus Christe, vnto all and vpon all them that beleue. There is no difference:

23 For all haue synned, and are destitute of the glorie of God,

24 Iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christe Iesu:

25 Whom God hath set foorth to be a propitiatio, through fayth in his blood, to declare his ryghteousnes, in that he forgeueth the sinnes that are past,

26 Which God dyd suffer, to shew at this tyme his righteousnes, that he might be iuste, & the iustifier of hym which beleueth on Iesus.

27 Where is then thy boastyng? It is excluded. By what lawe? Of workes? Nay, but by the lawe of fayth.

28 Therfore, we holde that a man is iustified by fayth, without the deedes of the lawe.

29 Is he the God of the Iewes only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, euen of the Gentiles also.

30 For it is one God whiche shall iustifie the circumcision by fayth, and vncircumcision through fayth.

31 Do we then destroy the lawe through fayth? God forbyd: But we rather mayntayne the lawe.
