• A. 19-20 Justification not by law

• a. 19a Now we know that what things soever the law saith,

• b. 19b it saith to them who are under the law:

• c. 19c that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

• b'. 20a Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight:

• a'. 20b for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

• B. 21-22a But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God

• C. 22b which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

• D. 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

• D'. 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

• C'. 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

• B'. 25b-26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

• A'. 27-31 Justification through faith for Jew and Gentile

• a. 27a Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

• b. 27b-28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

• c. 29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

• b'. 30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

• a'. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
