The Righteousness of God through Faith
21 But now apart [a]from the Law (A)the righteousness of God has been manifested, being (B)witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the (C)righteousness of God through (D)faith (E)in Jesus Christ for (F)all those [b]who believe; for (G)there is no distinction; 23 for all [c](H)have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift (I)by His grace through (J)the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God displayed publicly as (K)a [d]propitiation [e](L)in His blood through faith, for a demonstration of His righteousness, [f]because in the (M)forbearance of God He (N)passed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who [g]has faith in Jesus.
