24. being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25. whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, by his blood, to shew his righteousness, because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;
26. for the shewing, I say, of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus.
27. Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith.
28. We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
29. Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also:
30. if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.
31. Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law.
