[3:21] But now God's way of putting people right with himself has been revealed. It has nothing to do with law, even though the Law of Moses and the prophets gave their witness to it.
[3:22] God puts people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, because there is no difference at all:
[3:23] everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence.
[3:24] But by the free gift of God's grace all are put right with him through Christ Jesus, who sets them free.
[3:27] What, then, can we boast about? Nothing! And what is the reason for this? Is it that we obey the Law? No, but that we believe.
[3:28] For we conclude that a person is put right with God only through faith, and not by doing what the Law commands.
[3:29] Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the Gentiles also? Of course he is.
[3:30] God is one, and he will put the Jews right with himself on the basis of their faith, and will put the Gentiles right through their faith.
[3:31] Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law.
