^46 (A)These are the statutes and ordinances and laws which the Lord established between Himself and the sons of Israel ^[a]through Moses on Mount Sinai.

²⁰ because ^(A)by the works ^[a]of the Law ^[b]none of mankind will be justified in His sight; for ^[c](B)through the Law comes ^[d]knowledge of sin.

Justification by Faith

²¹ But now apart ^[e]from the Law ^(C)the righteousness of God has been revealed, being ^(D)witnessed by the ^[f]Law and the Prophets, ²² but it is the ^(E)righteousness of God through ^(F)faith ^(G)in Jesus Christ for ^(H)all those ^[g]who believe; for ^(I)there is no distinction,

^28 [a]For ^(A)we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from works ^[b]of the Law.

¹³ For ^(A)the promise to Abraham or to his ^[a]descendants ^(B)that he would be heir of the world was not ^[b]through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

⁴ For ^(A)Christ is the ^[a]end of the Law for righteousness to ^(B)everyone who believes.

⁶ But ^(A)the righteousness ^[a]based on faith speaks as follows: “^(B)Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down),

¹⁶ nevertheless, knowing that ^(A)a person is not justified by works of ^[a]the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by ^(B)faith in Christ and not by works of ^[b]the Law; since ^(C)by works of ^[c]the Law no ^[d]flesh will be justified.

²¹ I do not nullify the grace of God, for ^(A)if righteousness comes through ^[a]the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”
