Romans 3:25-27
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
25 Whom God set-forth[a] as that-which-satisfies[b] [His wrath] through faith, in[c] His blood— for the demonstration[d] of His righteousness because of the passing-by of the sins having previously-taken-place 26 in the forbearance[e] of God; for the demonstration of His righteousness at the present time, so that He might be righteous and declaring-righteous the one of [f] faith in Jesus.
There Can Be No Boasting In Our Works: It Is By Faith For All!
27 Where then is the boasting? It was shut-out[g]. Through what kind of law[h]? Of works? No, but through a law of faith.

Romans 3:25-27
New International Version
Romans 3:25-27
New International Version
25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,[a](A) through the shedding of his blood(B)—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished(C)— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
27 Where, then, is boasting?(D) It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith.
Footnotes
- Romans 3:25 The Greek for sacrifice of atonement refers to the atonement cover on the ark of the covenant (see Lev. 16:15,16).
