Romans 1:16-17; 3:22b-28, (29-31)
1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, "The one who is righteous will live by faith."

3:22b For there is no distinction,

3:23 since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;

3:24 they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

3:25 whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement by his blood, effective through faith. He did this to show his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;

3:26 it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies the one who has faith in Jesus.

3:27 Then what becomes of boasting? It is excluded. By what law? By that of works? No, but by the law of faith.

3:28 For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law.

3:29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

3:30 since God is one; and he will justify the circumcised on the ground of faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.

3:31 Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
