Romans 3:21-26
1599 Geneva Bible
21 [a]But now is the righteousness of God made manifest without the Law, having witness of the Law, and of the Prophets,
22 [b]To wit, the righteousness of God by the faith of [c]Jesus Christ, unto all, and upon all that believe.
23 For there is no difference: for all have sinned, and are deprived of the [d]glory of God,
24 [e]And are justified [f]freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 [g]Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his [h]blood to declare his righteousness, by the forgiveness of the sins that [i]are passed,
26 Through the [j]patience of God, to show at [k]this time his righteousness, that he might be [l]just, and a [m]justifier of him which is of the [n]faith of Jesus.
