Romans 3:22-31 ▼

22 and the righteousness of God [is] through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and on all those believing—for there is no difference,

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

24 being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that [is] in Christ Jesus,

25 whom God set forth [as] a propitiatory covering, through faith in His blood, for the showing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the former sins in the forbearance of God—

26 for the showing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who [is] of the faith of Jesus.

27 Where then [is] the boasting? It was excluded; by what law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith:

28 therefore we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.

29 [Is He] only the God of Jews, and not also of nations?

30 Yes, also of nations; since [there is] one God who will declare righteous circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

31 Do we then make law useless through faith? Let it not be! Indeed, we establish law.
