Romans 3:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ We know that ·the law’s commands [^Lwhat the law says] are for those who ·have [are under/subject to; ^Lare in] the law. This ·stops all excuses [^Lsilences every mouth] and brings the whole world under God’s judgment, ²⁰ because no one can be ·made right [justfied; declared righteous] with God [Ps. 143:2] ·by following [^Lthrough the works of] the law. [^LFor] The law only ·shows us our [brings awareness of] sin.

How God Makes People Right

²¹ But now ·God’s way to make people right with him [^Lthe righteousness of God] ·without [apart from] the law has been ·shown to us [revealed; made known], a way ·told to us [testified to; attested] by the law and the prophets.
