Romans 3 Summary

Romans 3 declares that all have sinned, and that righteousness comes as a gift through faith in Jesus Christ.

Paul shows that Jew and Gentile alike are under sin—‘there is no one righteous, not even one’—so no one is justified by the law.

But ‘now a righteousness from God’ has come, given freely through faith in Christ, who is the atoning sacrifice for sin.
