Romans 3:21-28

The Righteousness of God through Faith

21 But now apart ¹from the Law ^athe righteousness of God has been manifested, being ^bwitnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the ^arighteousness of God through ^bfaith ^cin Jesus Christ for ^dall those ¹who believe; for ^ethere is no distinction; 23 for all ¹^ahave sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift ^aby His grace through ^bthe redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God displayed publicly as ^aa ¹propitiation ²^bin His blood through faith, for a demonstration of His righteousness, ³because in the ^cforbearance of God He ^dpassed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who ¹has faith in Jesus.
27 Where then is ^aboasting? It is excluded. By ^bwhat kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28 ¹For ^awe maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works ²of the Law.
