Romans 3:26-30

The Righteousness of God Through Faith

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.

27 o Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 For we hold that one is justified by faith p apart from works of the law. 29 Or q is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since r God is one - who will justify the circumcised by faith and s the uncircumcised through faith.
