18. There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19. Now we know that whatever the Torah says, it says to those within the Torah, so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become accountable to God.
20. For no human, on the basis of Torah observance, will be set right in His sight—for through the Torah comes awareness of sin.
21. But now God’s righteousness apart from the Torah has been revealed, to which the Torah and the Prophets bear witness—
22. namely, the righteousness of God through putting trust in Messiah Yeshua, to all who keep on trusting. For there is no distinction,
23. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
24. They are set right as a gift of His grace, through the redemption that is in Messiah Yeshua.
25. God set forth Yeshua as an atonement, through faith in His blood, to show His righteousness in passing over sins already committed.
26. Through God’s forbearance, He demonstrates His righteousness at the present time—that He Himself is just and also the justifier of the one who puts his trust in Yeshua.
27. Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. By what principle? Of works? No, but by the principle of faith.
