Romans 3:19-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
19 Now we know that whatever the law says(A) speaks to those who are subject to the law,[a](B) so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become subject to God’s judgment.[b](C) 20 For no one will be justified[c] in His sight by the works of the law,(D) because the knowledge of sin comes through the law.(E)
God’s Righteousness through Faith
