English Standard Version
23 for (A)all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 (B)and are justified (C)by his grace as a gift, (D)through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God (E)put forward as (F)a propitiation (G)by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in (H)his divine forbearance he had passed over (I)former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
27 (J)Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 For we hold that one is justified by faith (K)apart from works of the law. 29 Or (L)is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since (M)God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and (N)the uncircumcised through faith.

Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles
8 For I tell you that Christ (A)became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order (B)to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, 9 and in order (C)that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
(D)“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name.”
10 And again it is said,
(E)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”
11 And again,
(F)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples extol him.”
12 And again Isaiah says,
(G)(H)“The root of Jesse will come,
even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
(I)in him will the Gentiles hope.”
