The Righteousness of God Through Faith
21 But now See ch. 1:17the righteousness of God ch. 16:26;2 Tim. 1:10has been manifested apart from the law, although Acts 10:43;[ch. 1:2;John 5:46]the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God ch. 4:5;[2 Tim. 3:15] through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. ch. 10:12;[Gal. 3:28;Col. 3:11]For there is no distinction: 23 for See ver. 9all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 Titus 3:7and are justified ch. 4:4,5,16;See Acts 15:11by his grace as a gift, Eph. 1:7;Col. 1:14;Heb. 9:15;[1 Cor. 1:30]through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God Eph. 1:9put forward as See 1 John 2:2a propitiation ch. 5:9;Eph. 2:13by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in ch. 2:4his divine forbearance he had passed over [Acts 17:30]former sins. 26 It 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.
