Bible: Rom 3:21-26; 9:19-23
3:21 But now 1 apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) 2 has been disclosed – 3:22 namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ 3 for all who believe. For there is no distinction, 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. 3:24 But they are justified 4 freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. 3:25 God publicly displayed 5 him 6 at his death 7 as the mercy seat 8 accessible through faith. 9 This was to demonstrate 10 his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed. 11 3:26 This was 12 also to demonstrate 13 his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just 14 and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness. 15
9:19 These were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated. 1
9:20 Noah, a man of the soil, 2 began to plant a vineyard. 3 9:21 When he drank some of the wine, he got drunk and uncovered himself 4 inside his tent. 9:22 Ham, the father of Canaan, 5 saw his father’s nakedness 6 and told his two brothers who were outside. 9:23 Shem and Japheth took the garment 7 and placed it on their shoulders. Then they walked in backwards and covered up their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned 8 the other way so they did not see their father’s nakedness.
