A justificação pela fé em Jesus Cristo

21 Mas, agora, se manifestou, sem a lei, a justiça de Deus, tendo o testemunho da Lei e dos Profetas, 22 isto é, a justiça de Deus pela fé em Jesus Cristo para todos e sobre todos os que creem; porque não há diferença. 23 Porque todos pecaram e destituídos estão da glória de Deus, 24 sendo justificados gratuitamente pela sua graça, pela redenção que há em Cristo Jesus, 25 ao qual Deus propôs para propiciação pela fé no seu sangue, para demonstrar a sua justiça pela remissão dos pecados dantes cometidos, sob a paciência de Deus; 26 para demonstração da sua justiça neste tempo presente, para que ele seja justo e justificador daquele que tem fé em Jesus.

27 Onde está, logo, a jactância? É excluída. Por qual lei? Das obras? Não! Mas pela lei da fé. 28 Concluímos, pois, que o homem é justificado pela fé, sem as obras da lei.

A justificação pela fé

21 Mas agora Deus mostrou-nos como ser justos aos seus olhos, não por obedecermos à Lei, mas pela maneira prometida pela Lei e pelos profetas há muito tempo. 22 Esta justiça de Deus vem pela fé em Jesus Cristo a todos os que creem. Pois não há distinção. 23 Porque todos pecaram, tendo perdido o direito de acesso à glória de Deus. 24 E pela sua graça, que não merecemos, nos declara justos, pela obra redentora de Jesus Cristo, sem nada pagarmos para dela beneficiarmos.

25 Na verdade Deus enviou Jesus Cristo para propiciação pelos nossos pecados, pela fé no sangue que Jesus derramou por nós. Deus mostrou a sua justiça ao redimir os pecados antigos. 26 Ele agiu na sua paciência, a fim de mostrar a sua justiça nos tempos de hoje: ele é justo e justifica os que têm fé em Jesus.

27 Poderemos nós então gabarmo-nos de ter feito alguma coisa para ganhar essa salvação? Com certeza que não. E com base em que lei? Na das obras? Não, antes na da fé. 28 É pois assim que somos declarados justos pela fé em Cristo e não por obras da Lei.

God Has Set Things Right

21-24 But in our time something new has been added. What Moses and the prophets witnessed to all those years has happened. The God-setting-things-right that we read about has become Jesus-setting-things-right for us. And not only for us, but for everyone who believes in him. For there is no difference between us and them in this. Since we’ve compiled this long and sorry record as sinners (both us and them) and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we’re in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ.

25-26 God sacrificed Jesus on the altar of the world to clear that world of sin. Having faith in him sets us in the clear. God decided on this course of action in full view of the public—to set the world in the clear with himself through the sacrifice of Jesus, finally taking care of the sins he had so patiently endured. This is not only clear, but it’s now—this is current history! God sets things right. He also makes it possible for us to live in his rightness.

27-28 So where does that leave our proud Jewish insider claims and counterclaims? Canceled? Yes, canceled. What we’ve learned is this: God does not respond to what we do; we respond to what God does. We’ve finally figured it out. Our lives get in step with God and all others by letting him set the pace, not by proudly or anxiously trying to run the parade.

Righteousness Through Faith

21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God(A) has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.(B) 22 This righteousness(C) is given through faith(D) in[a] Jesus Christ(E) to all who believe.(F) There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,(G) 23 for all have sinned(H) and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified(I) freely by his grace(J) through the redemption(K) that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,[b](L) through the shedding of his blood(M)—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished(N) 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

27 Where, then, is boasting?(O) It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.(P)

  2. Romans 3:25 The Greek for sacrifice of atonement refers to the atonement cover on the ark of the covenant (see Lev. 16:15,16).

17 Porque, se, pela ofensa de um só, a morte reinou por esse, muito mais os que recebem a abundância da graça e do dom da justiça reinarão em vida por um só, Jesus Cristo. 18 Pois assim como por uma só ofensa veio o juízo sobre todos os homens para condenação, assim também por um só ato de justiça veio a graça sobre todos os homens para justificação de vida. 19 Porque, como, pela desobediência de um só homem, muitos foram feitos pecadores, assim, pela obediência de um, muitos serão feitos justos.

17 A transgressão de um só homem, Adão, fez com que a morte dominasse toda a natureza humana, mas todos os que receberam a maravilhosa graça e a justificação de Deus terão, agora, o domínio da vida, através do ato também de um só, Jesus Cristo.

18 É verdade que a transgressão de Adão trouxe a todos o castigo, mas a justiça de Deus tornou possível que os homens se tornem justos perante Deus, para que possam viver. 19 Adão, porque desobedeceu a Deus, fez com que muitos se tornassem pecadores, mas Cristo, porque lhe obedeceu, fez que muitos também fossem considerados justos por Deus.

15-17 Yet the rescuing gift is not exactly parallel to the death-dealing sin. If one man’s sin put crowds of people at the dead-end abyss of separation from God, just think what God’s gift poured through one man, Jesus Christ, will do! There’s no comparison between that death-dealing sin and this generous, life-giving gift. The verdict on that one sin was the death sentence; the verdict on the many sins that followed was this wonderful life sentence. If death got the upper hand through one man’s wrongdoing, can you imagine the breathtaking recovery life makes, absolute life, in those who grasp with both hands this wildly extravagant life-gift, this grand setting-everything-right, that the one man Jesus Christ provides?

18-19 Here it is in a nutshell: Just as one person did it wrong and got us in all this trouble with sin and death, another person did it right and got us out of it. But more than just getting us out of trouble, he got us into life! One man said no to God and put many people in the wrong; one man said yes to God and put many in the right.

17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death(A) reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life(B) through the one man, Jesus Christ!

18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people,(C) so also one righteous act resulted in justification(D) and life(E) for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man(F) the many were made sinners,(G) so also through the obedience(H) of the one man the many will be made righteous.

7-10 Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we’re a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free! He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth.

7-9 The very credentials these people are waving around as something special, I’m tearing up and throwing out with the trash—along with everything else I used to take credit for. And why? Because of Christ. Yes, all the things I once thought were so important are gone from my life. Compared to the high privilege of knowing Christ Jesus as my Master, firsthand, everything I once thought I had going for me is insignificant—dog dung. I’ve dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ and be embraced by him. I didn’t want some petty, inferior brand of righteousness that comes from keeping a list of rules when I could get the robust kind that comes from trusting Christ—God’s righteousness.

  1. Philippians 3:9 Or through the faithfulness of

Admoesta-os a que se sujeitem aos principados e potestades, que lhes obedeçam e estejam preparados para toda boa obra; que a ninguém infamem, nem sejam contenciosos, mas modestos, mostrando toda mansidão para com todos os homens. Porque também nós éramos, noutro tempo, insensatos, desobedientes, extraviados, servindo a várias concupiscências e deleites, vivendo em malícia e inveja, odiosos, odiando-nos uns aos outros. Mas, quando apareceu a benignidade e o amor de Deus, nosso Salvador, para com os homens, não pelas obras de justiça que houvéssemos feito, mas, segundo a sua misericórdia, nos salvou pela lavagem da regeneração e da renovação do Espírito Santo, que abundantemente ele derramou sobre nós por Jesus Cristo, nosso Salvador, para que, sendo justificados pela sua graça, sejamos feitos herdeiros, segundo a esperança da vida eterna.

Fazendo o bem

Lembra a todos que devem sujeitar-se aos governantes e autoridades instituídas, e obedecer às leis, estando prontos a participar em qualquer obra boa. Não devem falar mal de ninguém, nem meter-se em disputas; devem antes ser amáveis, mostrando simpatia para com toda a gente.

Porque nós também, noutro tempo, éramos insensatos e revoltados. Andávamos ao sabor da opinião de outras pessoas, dominados por paixões variadas e por deleites dos sentidos. Vivíamos sob a lei da maldade, da inveja e do ódio e, por isso, nos odiávamos uns aos outros.

Mas quando a bondade e o amor divino de Deus nosso Salvador se manifestaram para com a humanidade, ele salvou-nos pela lavagem purificadora do Espírito Santo, da qual emergimos como novamente nascidos, não por causa de atos justos que tivéssemos praticado, mas por causa da sua misericórdia. Esse Espírito Santo, Deus o derramou abundantemente sobre nós, através de Jesus Cristo, nosso Salvador. E desta forma, sendo declarados justos pela sua graça, tornámo-nos herdeiros da esperança da vida eterna.

He Put Our Lives Together

1-2 Remind the people to respect the government and be law-abiding, always ready to lend a helping hand. No insults, no fights. God’s people should be bighearted and courteous.

3-8 It wasn’t so long ago that we ourselves were stupid and stubborn, easy marks for sin, ordered every which way by our glands, going around with a chip on our shoulder, hated and hating back. But when God, our kind and loving Savior God, stepped in, he saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit. Our Savior Jesus poured out new life so generously. God’s gift has restored our relationship with him and given us back our lives. And there’s more life to come—an eternity of life! You can count on this.

8-11 I want you to put your foot down. Take a firm stand on these matters so that those who have put their trust in God will concentrate on the essentials that are good for everyone. Stay away from mindless, pointless quarreling over genealogies and fine print in the law code. That gets you nowhere. Warn a quarrelsome person once or twice, but then be done with him. It’s obvious that such a person is out of line, rebellious against God. By persisting in divisiveness he cuts himself off.

Saved in Order to Do Good

Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities,(A) to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,(B) to slander no one,(C) to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.

At one time(D) we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness(E) and love of God our Savior(F) appeared,(G) he saved us,(H) not because of righteous things we had done,(I) but because of his mercy.(J) He saved us through the washing(K) of rebirth and renewal(L) by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us(M) generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace,(N) we might become heirs(O) having the hope(P) of eternal life.(Q)
