21But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, attested by the Law and the Prophets,

22And the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus the Messiah, for all who believe; for there is no distinction.

23For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

24being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Messiah Jesus,

25whom God put forward as an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, to demonstrate his righteousness, because of the passing over of previously committed sins.

26in God's forbearance, for the demonstration of his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
