Romans 3 (English Standard Version)

20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—
22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.
26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith.

Free Bible Version

God told Abraham, Your part is to keep my agreement — you and your descendants for generations to come.

Genesis 17:9

We have all sinned, and we fall far short of God's glorious ideal. Yet through the free gift of his grace God makes us right through Christ Jesus who sets us free.

Romans 3:23-24

Genesis 17 (Free Bible Version)

6 I will make sure you have a large number of descendants. They will become many nations, and some of their kings will also come from your line.
7 I promise to continue my agreement with you, and with your descendants who come after you, for generations to come. This is an eternal agreement. I will always be your God, and the God of your descendants.
8 I will give you and your descendants the whole country of Canaan—where you've been living as a foreigner—as land to own forever, and I will be their God.”
9 Then God told Abraham, “Your part is to keep my agreement—you and your descendants for generations to come.
10 This is my agreement with you and your descendants who come after you, the agreement you are to keep: every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 You are to circumcise your foreskin, and this will be the sign of the agreement between me and you.
12 From now and for all generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised. This includes not only your sons but also those born in your household or bought from foreigners.

Romans 3 (Free Bible Version)

20 For no one is made right before God by doing what the law requires. The law only helps us recognize what sin really is.
21 But now God's character of goodness and right has been demonstrated. It has nothing to do with law-keeping, even though it was spoken of by the law and the prophets.
22 This character of God that is good and right comes to everyone who trusts in Jesus Christ, those who place their confidence in him. It doesn't matter who we are:
23 We have all sinned, and we fall far short of God's glorious ideal.
24 Yet through the free gift of his grace God makes us right through Christ Jesus who sets us free.
25 God openly presented Jesus as the gift that brings peace to those trusting in him, the one who shed his blood. God did this to demonstrate he is truly good and right, for previously he would hold back and pass over sins,
26 but now at this present time God proves he is fair and does what is right, and that he makes right those who trust in Jesus.
27 So do we have anything to boast about then? Absolutely not, there's no place for that! And why's that? Is it because we follow the law of observing requirements? No, we follow the law of trusting in God.
