“To declare, {I say}, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.”
— Romans 3:26
Whom 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; {set forth: or, foreordained} {remission: or, passing over}
Where {is} boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Romans 3 — Context
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
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; {set forth: or, foreordained} {remission: or, passing over}
26To declare, {I say}, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27Where {is} boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
