Romans 3:19-24

19Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are subject to the law, so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become subject to God’s judgment.

20For no one will be justified in his sight by the works of the law, because the knowledge of sin comes through the law.

21But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, attested by the Law and the Prophets.

22The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe, since there is no distinction.

23For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;

24they are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
