Romans 3:26-28

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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.^[a]

²⁷ Then what becomes of boasting? It is excluded. By what law? By that of works? No, but by the law of faith. ²⁸ For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law.
