Romans 3:21-31

Lexham English Bible LEB

21 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified about by the law and the prophets--

22 that is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For [there] is no distinction,

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

24 being justified as a gift by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,

25 whom God made publicly available as the mercy seat through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because of the passing over of previously committed sins,

26 in the forbearance of God, for the demonstration of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just and the one who justifies the [person] by faith in Jesus.

27 Therefore, where [is] boasting? It has been excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

28 For we consider a person to be justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

29 Or [is God] the God of the Jews only? [Is he] not also [the God] of the Gentiles? Yes, also of the Gentiles,

30 since God [is] one, who will justify {those who are circumcised} by faith and {those who are uncircumcised} through faith.

31 Therefore, do we nullify the law through faith? May it never be! But we uphold the law.

New International Version NIV

21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

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 fall short of the glory of God,

24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

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 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, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith.

28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,

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, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
