¹⁵ We are natural-born Jews, not sinners from the godless nations. ¹⁶ But we know that no one is made right with God by meeting the demands of the law. It is only through the faithfulness of Jesus^[a] the Anointed that salvation is even possible. This is why we put faith in Jesus the Anointed: so we will be put right with God. It’s His faithfulness—not works prescribed by the law—that puts us in right standing with God because no one will be acquitted and declared “right” for doing what the law demands. ¹⁷ Even though we are seeking a right relationship with God through the Anointed, the fact is we have been found out. We are sinners. But does that mean the Anointed is the one responsible for our sins? Absolutely not!
