Romans 3:23-30
23for aall have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 band are justified cby his grace as a gift, dthrough the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25whom God eput forward as fa propitiation gby his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in hhis divine forbearance he had passed over iformer sins. 26It 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.27 jThen what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28For we hold that one is justified by faith kapart from works of the law. 29Or lis God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30since mGod is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and nthe uncircumcised through faith.
