Romans 3:25-31

25whom God displayed publicly as 1a 2propitiation 34in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, 5because in God’s merciful 6restraint He 7let the sins previously committed go unpunished; 26for the demonstration, that is, 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 has been excluded. By 10what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 2811For 12we maintain that a person 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? 22Far from it! On the contrary, we 23establish the Law.
