Romans 3:21–31

The Righteousness of God Through Faith

²¹But now apart ¹from the Law ^athe righteousness of God has been manifested, being ^bwitnessed by the Law and the Prophets,

²²even the ^arighteousness of God through ^bfaith ^cin Jesus Christ for ^dall those ¹who believe; for ^ethere is no distinction;

²³for all ^1ahave sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

²⁴being justified as a gift ^aby His grace through ^bthe redemption which is in Christ Jesus;

²⁵whom God displayed publicly as ^aa ¹propitiation ^2bin His blood through faith, for a demonstration of His righteousness, ³because in the ^cforbearance of God He ^dpassed over the sins previously committed;

²⁶for 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.

²⁷Where then is ^aboasting? It is excluded. By ^bwhat kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

²⁸¹For ^awe maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works ²of the Law.

²⁹Or ^ais God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

³⁰since indeed ^aGod, ^bwho will justify the ¹circumcised ²by faith and the ³uncircumcised through that faith, ^cis one.

³¹Do we then abolish ¹the Law through faith? ^aMay it never be! On the contrary, we ^bestablish the Law.
