²¹But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been disclosed and is attested by the Law and the Prophets,^* ²²the righteousness of God through the faith of Jesus Christ^m for all who believe.ⁿ For there is no distinction,^* ²³since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;^* ²⁴they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,^* ²⁵whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement^o by his blood, effective through faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;^* ²⁶it was to demonstrate at the present time his own righteousness, so that he is righteous and he justifies the one who has the faith of Jesus.^p

²⁷Then what becomes of boasting? It is excluded. Through what kind of law? That of works? No, rather through the law of faith.^* ²⁸For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law.^* ²⁹Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of gentiles also? Yes, of gentiles also, ³⁰since God is one, and he will justify the circumcised on the ground of faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.^*
