Romans 3:25-31

25whom God displayed publicly as 1a 2propitiation 34in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, 5because in the 6forbearance of God He 7passed 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 8has faith in Jesus.

27Where then is 9boasting? It is excluded. By 10what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 2811For 12we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works 13of the Law. 29Or 14is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30since indeed 15God 16who will justify the 17circumcised 18by faith and the 19uncircumcised through faith 20is one.

31Do we then nullify 21the Law through faith? 22May it never be! On the contrary, we 23establish the Law.
