ROMANS 3:22-31
Sunday Morning: May 15, 2005
Text: Romans 3:22-31 Even the righteousness
of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon
all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by
his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God
hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to
declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the
forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his
righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth
in Jesus. 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law?
of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a
man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29 Is he the God
of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles
also: 30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the
circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we then
make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Romans
3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is
by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all [accusative,

Romans
1:16-17 For I am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for
it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth [present active participle]; to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek.
17 For therein (the gospel of Christ)
is the righteousness of God
revealed from faith to faith: as it
is written, The just shall live by faith.

3:23 For all [plural] have sinned [aorist active, 3p], and come short [present

the works (obedience to the moral

Christ (our high priest), even we have believed [aorist active indicative, common salvation] in
Jesus Christ, that [ina,
in order that] we might (we
might not) be justified by the
faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law (moral law only):
for by the works of the law (moral
law only) shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians
3:11 But that no man
is justified [present passive]

in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just (those who obey the moral law) shall live [future

(of those who are saved) that are past,
through the forbearance of God;
