21But now ithe righteousness of God jwithout the law is manifested, being witnessed by klthe law and lmthe prophets; 22Even the righteousness of God which is nby faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for othere is no difference: 23For eall have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24Being justified pfreely qby his grace rthrough the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25Whom God hath ||sset forth tto be a propitiation through faith uin his blood, wto declare his righteousness for the ||remission of xsins that are past, through the yforbearance of God; 26wTo declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27zWhere is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? aof works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28Therefore we bconclude cthat a man is justified by faith dwithout the deeds of the law. 29Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30Seeing eit is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and funcircumcision through faith. 31Do we then make void the law through faith? gGod forbid: yea, hwe establish the law.
