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.
