21 God’s righteousness was known to everyone by all the laws that God gave us. It shows us how holy God really is. In order to be in line with Him we had to follow all of the laws. Now, the righteousness of God was shown in another way. Through the mercy of Jesus Christ. [...]

9 Paul for the first time addresses that he himself is a Jew.
