Romans 3:19-28
19NowG1161 we knowG3609 that whateverG3745 the 1LawG3551 saysG3004, it speaksG2980 to 2thoseG3588 who are 3underG1722 the LawG3551, soG2443 that everyG3956 mouthG4750 may be closedG5420 and 4allG3956 the worldG2889 may becomeG1096 accountableG5267 to GodG2316; 20becauseG1360 5by the worksG2041 6of the LawG3551 noG3756G3956 fleshG4561 will be justifiedG1344 in His sightG1799; for 78throughG1223 the LawG3551 comes the knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.
21But nowG3570 apartG5565 9from the LawG3551 10the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 has been manifestedG5319, being 11witnessedG3140 by the LawG3551 and the ProphetsG4396, 22evenG1161 the 12righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 throughG1223 13faithG4102 14in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for 15allG3956 thoseG3588 16who believeG4100; for 17there is noG3756 distinctionG1293; 23for allG3956 1819have sinnedG264 and fallG5302 shortG5302 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316, 24being justifiedG1344 as a giftG1431 20by His graceG5485 throughG1223 21the redemptionG629 which is in ChristG5547 JesusG2424; 25whomG3739 GodG2316 displayedG4388 publiclyG4388 as 22a 23propitiationG2435 2425in His bloodG129 throughG1223 faithG4102. This was to demonstrateG1731 His righteousnessG1343, 26becauseG1223 in the 27forbearanceG463 of GodG2316 He 28passedG3929 overG3929 the sinsG265 previouslyG4266 committedG4266; 26for the demonstrationG1732, I say, of His righteousnessG1343 at the presentG3568 timeG2540, soG1519 that He would be justG1342 and the justifierG1344 of the one who 29has faithG4102 in JesusG2424.
27WhereG4226 thenG3767 is 30boastingG2746? It is excludedG1576. By 31whatG4169 kindG4169 of lawG3551? Of worksG2041? NoG3780, but by a lawG3551 of faithG4102. 2832For 33we maintainG3049 that a manG444 is justifiedG1344 by faithG4102 apartG5565 from worksG2041 34of the LawG3551.
