Romans 3:19-26
19
Now we know that whatever v the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, w so that every mouth may be stopped, and x the whole world may be held accountable to God.
20
For y by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since z through the law comes knowledge of sin.
21
But now a the righteousness of God b has been manifested apart from the law, although c the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it -
22
the righteousness of God d through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. e For there is no distinction:
23
for f all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24
g and are justified h by his grace as a gift, i through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25
whom God j put forward as k a propitiation l by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in m his divine forbearance he had passed over n former sins.
26
It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
