Romans 3:21-28

21But nowG3570 apartG5565 1from the LawG3551 2the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 has been manifestedG5319, being 3witnessedG3140 by the LawG3551 and the ProphetsG4396, 22evenG1161 the 4righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 throughG1223 5faithG4102 6in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for 7allG3956 thoseG3588 8who believeG4100; for 9there is noG3756 distinctionG1293; 23for allG3956 10 11have sinnedG264 and fallG5302 shortG5302 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316, 24being justifiedG1344 as a giftG1431 12by His graceG5485 throughG1223 13the redemptionG629 which is in ChristG5547 JesusG2424; 25whomG3739 GodG2316 displayedG4388 publiclyG4388 as 14a 15propitiationG2435 16 17in His bloodG129 throughG1223 faithG4102. This was to demonstrateG1731 His righteousnessG1343, 18becauseG1223 in the 19forbearanceG463 of GodG2316 He 20passedG3929 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 21has faithG4102 in JesusG2424.

27WhereG4226 thenG3767 is 22boastingG2746? It is excludedG1576. By 23whatG4169 kindG4169 of lawG3551? Of worksG2041? NoG3780, but by a lawG3551 of faithG4102. 28 24For 25we maintainG3049 that a manG444 is justifiedG1344 by faithG4102 apartG5565 from worksG2041 26of the LawG3551.
