- Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
- Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.
- But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.
- This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference,
- for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

- Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God;
- because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
- But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,
- even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction;
- for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

- and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
- God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished--
- he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
- Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith.
- For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law.

- being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;
- whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;
- for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
- Where then is boasting? It is excluded By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
- For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.

- Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
- since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
- Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
|
- Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
- since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.
- Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
