King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
22
This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
24
and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
25
God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
26
he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
27
Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
28
For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
29
Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
30
since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
31
Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
