Romans 3:26-28

New Testament for Everyone

²⁶ This was to demonstrate his covenant justice in the present time: that is, that he himself is in the right, and that he declares to be in the right everyone who trusts in the faithfulness of Jesus.

The God of both Jew and Gentile

²⁷ So what happens to boasting? It is ruled out! Through what sort of law? The law of works? No: through the law of faith! ²⁸ We calculate, you see, that a person is declared to be in the right on the basis of faith, apart from works of the law.
