21 But now a the righteousness of God b has been manifested apart from the law, although c the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God d through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. e For there is no distinction: 23 for f all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 g and are justified h by his grace as a gift, i through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God j put forward as k a propitiation l by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in m his divine forbearance he had passed over n former sins.
28 For we hold that one is justified by faith p apart from works of the law.
5 a Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, b we [1] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also c obtained access by faith [2] into this grace d in which we stand, and e we [3] rejoice [4] in hope of the glory of God.
16 yet we know that n a person is not justified [5] by works of the law o but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, p because by works of the law no one will be justified.
