Romans 3:19-28

19NowG1161 we knowG1492 thatG3754 whateverG3745 theG3588 lawG3551 saysG3004, it saysG2980 to those who areG3588 underG1722 theG3588 lawG3551, so thatG2443 everyG3956 mouthG4750 may be silencedG5420 andG2532 theG3588 wholeG3956 worldG2889 held accountableG5267 to GodG2316. 20ThereforeG1360 noG3756 oneG3956G4561 will be justifiedG1344 in His sightG1799G846 byG1537 worksG2041 of the lawG3551. ForG1063 the lawG3551 merely bringsG1223 awarenessG1922 of sinG266.

21ButG1161 nowG3570, apart fromG5565 the lawG3551, the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 has been revealedG5319, as attestedG3140 byG5259 theG3588 LawG3551 andG2532 theG3588 ProphetsG4396. 22AndG1161 this righteousnessG1343 from GodG2316 comes throughG1223 faithG4102 in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 allG3956 whoG3588 believeG4100. There isG1510 noG3756 distinctionG1293, 23forG1063 allG3956 have sinnedG264 andG2532 fall shortG5302 of theG3588 gloryG1391 of GodG2316, 24and are justifiedG1344 freelyG1432 byG3588 HisG846 graceG5485 throughG1223 theG3588 redemptionG629 thatG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

25GodG2316 presentedG4388 Him as an atoning sacrificeG24351 inG1722 HisG846 bloodG129 throughG1223 faithG4102, in orderG1519 to demonstrateG1732 HisG846 righteousnessG1343, becauseG1223 inG1722 His forbearanceG463 He had passed overG3929 theG3588 sinsG265 committed beforehandG4266. 26He did this to demonstrateG1732 HisG846 righteousnessG1343 atG1722 theG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540, so asG1519 to beG1510 justG1342 andG2532 to justifyG1344 theG3588 one who has faithG4102 in JesusG2424.

27WhereG4226, thenG3767, is boastingG2746? It is excludedG1576. OnG1223 whatG4169 principleG3551? On thatG3588 of worksG2041? NoG3780, butG235 onG1223 that of faithG4102. 28ForG1063 we maintain thatG3049 a manG444 is justifiedG1344 by faithG4102 apart fromG5565 worksG2041 of the lawG3551.
