Romans 3:22
20 Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
21 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.
And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
