New American Standard Bible 1995

Romans 3:24-28

24being justified as a gift 1by His grace through 2the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25whom God displayed publicly as 3a 4propitiation 5 6in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, 7because in the 8forbearance of God He 9passed over the sins previously committed; 26for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who 10has faith in Jesus.

27Where then is 11boasting? It is excluded. By 12what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28 13For 14we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works 15of the Law.
