Righteousness Through Faith

21 But now a righteousness from God,¹ apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.² 22 This righteousness from God³ comes through faith⁴ in Jesus Christ⁵ to all who believe.⁶ There is no difference,⁷ 23 for all have sinned⁸ and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified⁹ freely by his grace¹⁰ through the redemption¹¹ that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement,^a¹² through faith in his blood.¹³ He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished¹⁴-- 26 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.
