Romans 3:21–26
Text — King James Version (1611)
3:21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
3:22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
3:23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
3:24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
3:25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
3:26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
