But Now Righteousness From God Has Been Revealed
21 But now apart from law[a], the righteousness of God has been revealed, being attested by the Law and the Prophets.
It Comes As an Undeserved Gift Through Faith In Christ, Who Satisfied God’s Wrath
22 And it is the righteousness of God through faith[b] in Jesus Christ for all the ones believing! For there is no distinction, 23 for all sinned and are coming-short-of the glory of God, 24 being declared-righteous as-a-gift[c] by His grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus, 25 Whom God set-forth[d] as that-which-satisfies[e] [His wrath] through faith, in[f] His blood— for the demonstration[g] of His righteousness because of the passing-by of the sins having previously-taken-place 26 in the forbearance[h] of God; for the demonstration of His righteousness at the present time, so that He might be righteous and declaring-righteous the one of [i] faith in Jesus.
There Can Be No Boasting In Our Works: It Is By Faith For All!
27 Where then is the boasting? It was shut-out[j]. Through what kind of law[k]? Of works? No, but through a law of faith. 28 For we consider a person to be declared-righteous by faith apart from works of the Law. 29 Or is He the God of Jews only[l]? Is He not also the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since there is one God— Who will declare-righteous the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through the same[m] faith. 31 Do we then nullify the Law through the faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
Don’t Forbid The Children To Come To Me. Of Such Is The Kingdom of God
13 Then children were brought to Him in order that He might lay His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them[a]. 14 But Jesus said, “Permit[b] the children, and do not be forbidding them to come to Me. For the kingdom of the heavens is of [c] such ones”. 15 And having laid His hands on them, He proceeded from there.
A Rich Man Asks What To Do To Enter Heaven. Jesus Says, Sell Everything And Follow Me
16 And behold— one having come to Him said, “Teacher, what good thing should I do in order that I may have eternal life?” 17 And the One said to him, “Why do you ask Me about what is good? There is One Who is good. But if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments”. 18 He says to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder. You shall not commit-adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give-false-testimony. 19 Be honoring your father and your mother”. And, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself ”. 20 The young man says to Him, “I kept all these things. What am I still lacking?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect[d], go, sell your possessions and give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in the heavens. And come, be following Me”. 22 But having heard the statement, the young man went away grieving. For he was having many properties.
