3:21 But now apart from the
law the
righteousness of
God (although it is
attested by the
law and the
prophets)
has been
disclosed—
22 namely, the
righteousness of
God through the
faithfulness of
Jesus Christ for all who
believe.
For there
is no distinction,
23 for all have
sinned and fall short of the
glory of
God.
24 But they are
justified freely by
his grace through the
redemption that is
in Christ Jesus.
25 God publicly displayed him at his death as the
mercy seat accessible
through faith.
This was
to demonstrate his righteousness because God in his forbearance had
passed over the
sins previously committed.
26 This was
also to
demonstrate his righteousness in the
present time,
so that he would
be just and the
justifier of
the one who lives
because of Jesus’ faithfulness.
