Now the Righteousness of God Is Revealed

But now, apart from the law and as was already foretold in the law and the prophets, it has been revealed:

God makes us righteous through faith in Jesus Christ, and this is available to everyone who believes, without distinction.

For all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory;

yet, all are graciously forgiven and made righteous through the redemption in Christ Jesus.

For God has given him as the atoning sacrifice whose blood grants us forgiveness through faith.

So God shows us how he makes us righteous. Past sins are forgiven, which God has overlooked until now.

For now, he wants to reveal his way of righteousness: how he is just and how he makes us righteous through faith in Jesus.

Then, what happens to our pride? It is set aside. How? Not through the law and its rules, but through another law, which is faith.

For we believe that people are in God’s grace by faith, not because of all the things commanded by the law.

Otherwise, God would only be the God of the Jews; but isn’t he also the God of pagan nations?

Of course, he is, since there is only one God, and he will save both the circumcised Jews and the uncircumcised nations through faith.
