Romans 3:21–31

²¹But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; ²²even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction; ²³for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; ²⁴being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: ²⁵whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God; ²⁶for the showing, I say, of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus. ²⁷Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith. ²⁸We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. ²⁹Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also: ³⁰if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.

³¹Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law.
