20wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.
21And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets,
22and the righteousness of God [is] through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference,
23for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God --
24being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that [is] in Christ Jesus,
25whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God --
26for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who [is] of the faith of Jesus.
