³⁹ Through him everyone who believes^(A) is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.^(B)

¹⁶ know that a person is not justified by the works of the law,^(A) but by faith in Jesus Christ.^(B) So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in^[a] Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.^(C)
