Summary: God’s righteousness is shown through faith in Jesus Christ, available to all. We are justified by grace through Jesus’ sacrifice, not by following the law, but through faith alone.
Brothers and sisters, now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, though testified to by the law and the prophets—the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction; all have sinned and are deprived of the glory of God.
They are justified freely by his grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as an expiation, through faith, by his blood. For we consider that a person is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
