Romans 3:22-31

The Bible in Basic English BBE

22 That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another,

23 For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;

24 And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

26 And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.

27 What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith.

28 For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.

29 Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not in the same way the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles:

30 If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision.

31 Do we, then, through faith make the law of no effect? in no way: but we make it clear that the law is important.

New International Version NIV

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.
