Romans 3 - NLT & NRSV

For no one can ever be made right with God by doing… Romans 3:20

For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. Romans 3:20	For “no human being will be justified in his sight” by deeds prescribed by the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin. sin law righteousness
But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. Romans 3:21-22	But now, apart from law, the righteousness of God has been disclosed, and is attested by the law and the prophets, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction. faith law righteousness

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. Romans 3:23-24	Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. sin grace Savior
