23. for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24. being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;
25. 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;
26. 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.
27. Where then is boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith;
28. for we reckon that a man is justified by faith, without works of law.
29. Is God the God of Jews only? is he not of the nations also? Yea, of nations also:
30. since indeed it is one God who shall justify the circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith.
31. Do we then make void law by faith? Far be the thought: no, but we establish law.
