Romans 3:22
Compare all
20 Therefore aby the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.  

God’s Righteousness Through Faith

21 But now athe righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, bbeing witnessed by the Law cand the Prophets,  
22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all1 and on all who believe. For athere is no difference;  
23 for aall have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,  
24 being justified1 freely aby His grace bthrough the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,  
25 whom God set forth aas a propitiation bby His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over cthe sins that were previously committed,  
26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Boasting Excluded

27 aWhere is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.  
28 Therefore we conclude athat a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.

Romans 3:22

Even (de). Not adversative here. It defines here.

Through faith in Jesus Christ (dia pistewv 0:0-1:1 by the addition eiv Xriston Ihsoun episteusamen (we believed in Christ), by thv eiv Xriston pistewv umwn (of your faith in Christ) in Colossians 2:5, by en pistei th en Xristw Ihsou (in faith that in Christ Jesus) in I Timothy 3:13, as well as here by the added words "unto all them that believe" (eiv pantav touv pisteuontav) in Jesus, Paul means.

Distinction (diastolh). See on I Corinthians 14:7 for the difference of sounds in musical instruments. Also in Romans 10:12. The Jew was first in privilege as in penalty (Romans 2:9 f.), but justification or setting right with God is offered to both on the same terms.
