Ro 3:21-26. GOD'S JUSTIFYING RIGHTEOUSNESS THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, ALIKE ADAPTED TO OUR NECESSITIES AND WORTHY OF HIMSELF.
21-23. But now the righteousness of God--(See on
Ro 1:17).
without the law--that is, a righteousness to which our obedience to
the law contributes nothing whatever
(Ro 3:28;
Ga 2:16).
is manifested, being witnessed--attested.
by the law and the prophets--the Old Testament Scriptures. Thus this
justifying righteousness, though new, as only now fully disclosed,
is an old righteousness, predicted and foreshadowed in the Old
Testament.
