Bible in Basic English

23

For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;

24

And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:

25

Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

26

And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.

27

What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith.

28

For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.

29

Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not in the same way the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles:

30

If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision.

31

Do we, then, through faith make the law of no effect? in no way: but we make it clear that the law is important.

KJV
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 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; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. ”

20

Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

21

But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets;

22

That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another,

23

For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;

24

And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:

25

Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

26

And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.

27

What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith.

28

For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.

29

30

If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision.
