After granting the advantages entrusted to the Jews, Paul drives home his indictment: “None is righteous, no, not one,” for all, Jew and Gentile, are under sin, and by works of the law no one will be justified, since the law gives knowledge of sin. Then comes the turning point of the letter: “But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law,” a righteousness “through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe,” for all have sinned, and are “justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood.” God is thus both just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Romans 3
c. AD 57All are under sin (“none is righteous”) but God justifies freely by grace through faith in Christ, the propitiation.
