Romans 3:21-30

21But nowG3570 apartG5565 1from the LawG3551 2the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 has been revealedG5319, being 3witnessedG3140 by the 4LawG3551 and the ProphetsG4396, 22but it is the 5righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 throughG1223 6faithG4102 7in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for 8allG3956 thoseG3588 9who believeG4100; for 10there is noG3756 distinctionG1293, 23for allG3956 1112have sinnedG264 and fallG5302 shortG5302 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316, 24being justifiedG1344 as a giftG1432 13by His graceG5485 throughG1223 14the redemptionG629 which is in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, 25whomG3739 GodG2316 displayedG4388 publiclyG4388 as 15a 16propitiationG2435 1718in His bloodG129 throughG1223 faithG4102. This was to demonstrateG1731 His righteousnessG1343, 19becauseG1223 in God’sG2316 merciful 20restraintG463 He 21letG3929 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 22has faithG4102 in JesusG2424.

27WhereG4226 thenG3767 is 23boastingG2746? It has been excludedG1576. By 24whatG4169 kindG4169 of lawG3551? Of worksG2041? NoG3780, but by a lawG3551 of faithG4102. 2825For 26we maintainG3049 that a personG444 is justifiedG1344 by faithG4102 apartG5565 from worksG2041 27of the LawG3551. 29OrG2228 28is GodG2316 the God of JewsG2453 onlyG3440? Is He not the God of GentilesG1484 alsoG2532? YesG3483, of GentilesG1484 alsoG2532, 30sinceG1512 indeedG1512 29GodG2316 30whoG3739 will justifyG1344 the 31circumcisedG4061 32by faithG4102 and the 33uncircumcisedG203 throughG1223 faithG4102 34is oneG1520.
