Berean Standard Bible

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”

Romans 3:23

Save as image

Study note

This verse sits in the heart of Romans 3:21-26, one of the densest explanations of the gospel in the New Testament. Paul has just announced that God's righteousness has now been revealed apart from the law, through faith in Jesus, for all who believe.
