Romans 3:21-26
International Standard Version
God Gives Us Righteousness through Faith
21 But now, apart from the Law, God’s righteousness is revealed and is attested by the Law and the Prophets— 22 God’s righteousness through the faithfulness of Jesus[a] the Messiah[b]— for all who believe. For there is no distinction among people,[c] 23 since all have sinned and continue to fall short of God’s glory. 24 By his grace they are justified freely through the redemption that is in the Messiah[d] Jesus, 25 whom God offered as a place where atonement by the Messiah’s[e] blood would occur through faith. He did this[f] to demonstrate his righteousness, because he had waited patiently to deal with sins committed in the past. 26 He wanted[g] to demonstrate at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies anyone who has the faithfulness of Jesus.[h]
