Romans 3:20-31

20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ to all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ: 25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;12 26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he may be just, and the justifier of him who believeth in Jesus. 27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. 29Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30Seeing it is one God, who shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31Do we then make void the law through faith? By no means: but, we establish the law.
