Galatians 2:16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 yet we know that a person is justified[a] not by the works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ.[b] And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by the faith of Christ[c] and not by doing the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the works of the law.(A)

Romans 3:19-28
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 Now we know that, whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.(A) 20 For no human will be justified before him by deeds prescribed by the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.(B)
Righteousness through Faith
21 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been disclosed and is attested by the Law and the Prophets,(C) 22 the righteousness of God through the faith of Jesus Christ[a] for all who believe.[b] For there is no distinction,(D) 23 since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;(E) 24 they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,(F) 25 whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement[c] by his blood, effective through faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;(G) 26 it was to demonstrate at the present time his own righteousness, so that he is righteous and he justifies the one who has the faith of Jesus.[d]
27 Then what becomes of boasting? It is excluded. Through what kind of law? That of works? No, rather through the law of faith.(H) 28 For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law.(I)

19 Now we know that whatever the law says,(A) it says to those who are under the law,(B) so that every mouth may be silenced(C) and the whole world held accountable to God.(D) 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law;(E) rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.(F)
Righteousness Through Faith
21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God(G) has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.(H) 22 This righteousness(I) is given through faith(J) in[a] Jesus Christ(K) to all who believe.(L) There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,(M) 23 for all have sinned(N) and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified(O) freely by his grace(P) through the redemption(Q) that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,[b](R) through the shedding of his blood(S)—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished(T)— 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?(U) 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.(V)
