Romans:3:20-31
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight :
for by the law is the knowledge of sin .
*
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested ,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets ;
*
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that 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 that is in Christ Jesus :
*
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood ,
to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past ,
through the forbearance of God ;
*
To declare ,
I say ,
at this time his righteousness :
that he might be just ,
and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus .
*
Where is boasting then ?
It is excluded .
By what law ?
of works ?
Nay :
but by the law of faith .
*
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law .
*
Is he the God of the Jews only ?
is he not also of the Gentiles ?
Yes ,
of the Gentiles also :
*
Seeing it is one God ,
which shall justify the circumcision by faith ,
and uncircumcision through faith .
*
Do we then make void the law through faith ?
God forbid :
yea ,
we establish the law .
