²⁸ Therefore we conclude ^(A)that a man is ^[a]justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.

⁷ that having been justified by His grace ^(A)we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

⁸ And ^(A)the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, ^(B)“In you all the nations shall be blessed.”

²⁴ You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

²⁴ Therefore ^(A)the law was our ^[a]tutor to bring us to Christ, ^(B)that we might be justified by faith.

³ For ^(A)what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, ^(B)God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

²⁶ to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

^16 (A)knowing that a man is not ^[a]justified by the works of the law but ^(B)by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not ^(C)by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

David Celebrates the Same Truth

⁵ But to him who ^(A)does not work but believes on Him who justifies ^(B)the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,

³⁸ Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that ^(A)through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; ³⁹ and ^(B)by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
