Romans:3:21-31
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But now without law righteousness of God is manifested ,
borne witness to by the law and the prophets ;
*
righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all ,
and upon all those who believe :
for there is no difference ;
*
for all have sinned ,
and come short of the glory of God ;
*
being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which [
is ]
in Christ Jesus ;
*
whom God has set forth a mercy-seat ,
through faith in his blood ,
for [
the ]
shewing forth of his righteousness ,
in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before ,
through the forbearance of God ;
*
for [
the ]
shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time ,
so that he should be just ,
and justify him that is of [
the ]
faith of Jesus .
*
Where then [
is ]
boasting ?
It has been excluded .
By what law ?
of works ?
Nay ,
but by law of faith ;
*
for we reckon that a man is justified by faith ,
without works of law .
*
Is [
God ]
the God of Jews only ?
is he not of [
the ]
nations also ?
Yea ,
of nations also :
*
since indeed [
it is ]
one God who shall justify [
the ]
circumcision on the principle of faith ,
and uncircumcision by faith .
*
Do we then make void law by faith ?
Far be the thought : [
no ,]
but we establish law .
