Romans 3:23-27
New American Standard Bible
23 for all [a](A)have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift (B)by His grace through (C)the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God displayed publicly as (D)a [b]propitiation [c](E)in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, [d]because in God’s merciful (F)restraint He (G)let the sins previously committed go unpunished; 26 for the demonstration, that is, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who [e]has faith in Jesus.
27 Where then is (H)boasting? It has been excluded. By (I)what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
