19Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.Select Romans 3:19
20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.Select Romans 3:20
21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;Select Romans 3:21
22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:Select Romans 3:22
23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;Select Romans 3:23
24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:Select Romans 3:24
25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;Select Romans 3:25
26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.Select Romans 3:26
27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.Select Romans 3:27
28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.Select Romans 3:28
