New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Not knowing the righteousness of God and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to God’s righteousness.(A) 4 For Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.(B)
Salvation Is for All
5 Moses writes concerning the righteousness that comes from the law, that “the person who does these things will live by them.”(C) 6 But the righteousness that comes from faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say?
“The word is near you,
in your mouth and in your heart”
(that is, the word of faith that we proclaim),(D) 9 because[a] if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe[b] in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.(E) 10 For one believes[c] with the heart, leading to righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, leading to salvation. 11 The scripture says, “No one who believes[d] in him will be put to shame.”(F) 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him.(G) 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”(H)
14 But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed?[e] And how are they to believe[f] in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? 15 And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”(I)

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,(A) 22 the righteousness of God through the faith of Jesus Christ[a] for all who believe.[b] For there is no distinction,(B) 23 since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;(C) 24 they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,(D) 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;(E) 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]
