Romans 3:21-31 ▼

21 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified to by the Law and the Prophets.

22 And the righteousness of God is through faith from Jesus Christ toward all those believing. For there is no distinction,

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

25 whom God set forth as a propitiation through faith in His blood, for a demonstration of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the sins having taken place beforehand in the forbearance of God,

26 for the demonstration of His righteousness in the present time, for Him to be just and justifying the one of the faith from Jesus.

27 Where then is the boasting? It was excluded. By what kind of law? That of works? No, but by the law of faith.

28 For we reckon a man to be justified by faith apart from works of law.

29 Or is He the God of Jews only, not also of Gentiles? Yes, also of Gentiles,

30 since indeed God is one, who will justify the circumcision by faith and the uncircumcision through the same faith.

31 Do we, then, nullify the law through faith? Never may it be! Rather, we uphold the law.
