The Righteousness of God Through Faith

21 But now ^ythe righteousness of God ^zhas been manifested apart from the law, although ^aathe Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God ^abthrough faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. ^acFor there is no distinction: 23 for ^adall have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 ^aeand are justified ^afby his grace as a gift, ^agthrough the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God ^ahput forward as ^aia propitiation ^ajby his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in ^akhis divine forbearance he had passed over ^alformer sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
