²¹But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed,^aa attested by the Law and the Prophets.^O^ab ²²The righteousness of God is through faith^ac in Jesus Christ^P^ad to all who believe,^ae since there is no distinction.^af ²³For all have sinned^ag and fall short of the^Q glory of God; ²⁴they are justified freely by his grace^ah through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.^ai ²⁵God presented him as the mercy seat^R^aj by his blood,^ak through faith, to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his restraint God^al passed over the sins previously committed.^am ²⁶God presented him to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so that he would be just and justify the one who has faith in Jesus.

BOASTING EXCLUDED

²⁷Where, then, is boasting?^an It is excluded. By what kind of law?^A^ao By one of works? No, on the contrary, by a law^B of faith. ²⁸For we conclude that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.^ap ²⁹Or is God the God of Jews only?^aq Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, ³⁰since there is one God^ar who will justify the circumcised by faith^as and the uncircumcised through faith.
