Romans 3:21-31 (Holman Christian Standard)
God's Righteousness through Faith
21 But now, apart from the law, God's righteousness has been revealed-attested by the Law and the Prophetsa 22 -that is, God's righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ,b to all who believe, since there is no distinction. 23 For all have sinned and fall short of thec glory of God. 24 They are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Him as a propitiationd through faith in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His restraint God passed over the sins previously committed. 26 He presented Him to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be righteous and declare righteouse the one who has faith in Jesus.Boasting Excluded
27 Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law?f By one of works? No, on the contrary, by a lawg of faith. 28 For we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from works of law. 29 Or is God for Jews only? Is He not also for Gentiles? Yes, for Gentiles too, 30 since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. 31 Do we then cancel the law through faith? Absolutely not! On the contrary, we uphold the law.Holman Christian Standard Bible ® Copyright © 2003, 2002, 2000, 1999 by Holman Bible Publishers. Used by permission. All rights reserved.
