18. “They have no fear of or respect for God.” Psalm 36:1
19. The law commands many things. We know that those commands are for those who are under the law. This stops all excuses and brings the whole world under God’s judgment,
20. because no one can be made right with God by following the law. The law only shows us our sin.
21. But God has a way to make people right with him without the law. And God has now shown us that way which the law and the prophets told us about.
22. God makes people right with himself through their faith in Jesus Christ. This is true for all who believe in Christ, because all are the same.
23. All people have sinned and are not good enough for God’s glory.
24. People are made right with God by his grace, which is a free gift. They are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ.
