THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Romans 3:25 in context
Romans 3:22–28
22
even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
23

24
being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

Selected verse
whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice† through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;
26
to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
27
Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
28
We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
