Readings for Lent and Easter
21 But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 even the righteousness of God through faith [a]in Jesus Christ unto all [b]them that believe; for there is no distinction; 23 for all [c]have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 whom God set forth [d]to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God; 26 for the showing, I say, of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be [e]just, and the [f]justifier of him that [g]hath faith [h]in Jesus. 27 Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith. 28 [i]We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from [j]the works of the law.
