20For gby works of the law no human being ▼▼Greek flesh
will be justified in his sight, since ithrough the law comes knowledge of sin. The Righteousness of God Through Faith
21But now jthe righteousness of God khas been manifested apart from the law, although lthe Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22the righteousness of God mthrough faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. nFor there is no distinction:Romans 4:6-8
6just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:7 o“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
and whose sins are covered;
8blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not pcount his sin.”
