Romans 3:20-28 Wherefore by the works of the law there shall no flesh be justified is his sight, for by the law there is an acknowledgment of sin.

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ Wherefore by the works of the law there shall no flesh be justified is his sight, for by the law there is an acknowledgment of sin. ²¹ ^(3:1) BUT now God's righteousness has been made manifest without the law, being testified to by the law and the prophets, ²² but God's righteousness is through the faith of Jesus Christ, in all and upon all that believe. For there is no difference; ²³ for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, ²⁴ being justified freely by his grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom God set forth [to be] a propitiator through faith in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing by of the errors committed previously in the forbearance of God, ²⁶ to show his righteousness at the present time, that he may be righteous and justify him that is of faith. ²⁷ ^(3:2) Where then is the boasting [of the Jew]? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No; but by the law of faith. ²⁸ We conclude then that a man is justified by faith without the works of the law.
