The Righteousness of God Through Faith21But nowthe righteousness of Godhas been manifested apart from the law, althoughthe Law and the Prophets bear witness to it22the righteousness of Godthrough faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.For there is no distinction:23forall have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,24and are justifiedby his grace as a gift,through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,25whom Godput forward asa propitiationby his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because inhis divine forbearance he had passed overformer sins.26It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
