3:21 But now
apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets)

freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

him
at his death
as the mercy seat
accessible through faith.

his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just
and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness.

based on Christ’s
faithfulness.
