Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
My Help Comes from Yahweh
A Song of Ascents.
18 Who is a God like You, who (A)forgives iniquity
And passes over the transgression of the (B)remnant of His inheritance?
He does not (C)hold fast to His anger forever
Because He (D)delights in lovingkindness.
19 He will again have compassion on us;
(E)He will subdue our iniquities.
And You will (F)cast all [a]their sins
Into the depths of the sea.
20 You will give [b](G)truth to Jacob
And lovingkindness to Abraham,
Which You (H)swore to our fathers
From the days of old.
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.
27 Where then is (O)boasting? It is excluded. By (P)what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28 [h]For (Q)we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works [i]of the Law. 29 Or (R)is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since indeed (S)God, (T)who will justify the [j]circumcised [k]by faith and the [l]uncircumcised through that faith, (U)is one.
31 Do we then abolish [m]the Law through faith? (V)May it never be! On the contrary, we (W)establish the Law.
