¹⁶ knowing as we do that a man is declared righteous,*+ not due to works of law, but only through faith+ toward Christ Jesus, even we have put our faith in Christ Jesus, that we may be declared righteous due to faith toward Christ,+ and not due to works of law, because due to works of law no flesh will be declared righteous.+

²² Now that YOU have purified+ YOUR souls* by [YOUR] obedience to the truth with unhypocritical brotherly affection+ as the result, love one another intensely* from the heart.+
