Romans 3:19-28

19NowG1161 we knowG3609 that whateverG3745 the 1LawG3551 saysG3004, it speaksG2980 to 2thoseG3588 who are 3underG1722 the LawG3551, soG2443 thatG2443 everyG3956 mouthG4750 may be closedG5420 and 4allG3956 the worldG2889 may becomeG1096 accountableG5267 to GodG2316; 20becauseG1360 5by the worksG2041 6of the LawG3551 7noneG3756G3956 of mankindG4561 will be justifiedG1344 inG1799 His sightG1799; for 89throughG1223 the LawG3551 comes 10knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.

21But nowG3570 apartG5565 11from the LawG3551 12the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 has been revealedG5319, being 13witnessedG3140 by the 14LawG3551 and the ProphetsG4396, 22but it is the 15righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 throughG1223 16faithG4102 17in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for 18allG3956 thoseG3588 19who believeG4100; for 20there is noG3756 distinctionG1293, 23for allG3956 2122have sinnedG264 and fallG5302 shortG5302 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316, 24being justifiedG1344 as a giftG1432 23by His graceG5485 throughG1223 24the redemptionG629 which is in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, 25whomG3739 GodG2316 displayedG4388 publiclyG4388 as 25a 26propitiationG2435 2728in His bloodG129 throughG1223 faithG4102. This was to demonstrateG1731 His righteousnessG1343, 29becauseG1223 in God’sG2316 merciful 30restraintG463 He 31letG3929 the sinsG265 previouslyG4266 committedG4266 goG3929 unpunishedG3929; 26for the demonstrationG1732, that is, of His righteousnessG1343 at the presentG3568 timeG2540, soG1519 thatG1519 He would be justG1342 and the justifierG1344 of the one who 32has faithG4102 in JesusG2424.

27WhereG4226 thenG3767 is 33boastingG2746? It has been excludedG1576. By 34whatG4169 kindG4169 of lawG3551? Of worksG2041? NoG3780, but by a lawG3551 of faithG4102. 2835For 36we maintainG3049 that a personG444 is justifiedG1344 by faithG4102 apartG5565 from worksG2041 37of the LawG3551.
