The Righteousness of God Through Faith

21 But now ^dthe righteousness of God ^ehas been manifested apart from the law, although ^fthe Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God ^gthrough faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. ^hFor there is no distinction:

Romans 8:3

3 For ⁱGod has done what the law, ^jweakened by the flesh, ^kcould not do. ^lBy sending his own Son ^min the likeness of sinful flesh and ⁿfor sin, ^{▼▼Or and as a sin offering} he condemned sin in the flesh,

Galatians 2:16

16 yet we know that ^pa person is not justified ^{▼▼Or counted righteous (three times in verse 16); also verse 17} by works of the law ^rbut through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, ^sbecause by works of the law no one will be justified.
