But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— ²² the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.  For there is no distinction: ²³ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ²⁴ and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith.
(Romans 3:21-25 -- ESV) 


God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”
(Acts 3:26 -- ESV)
