Audio commentary on this verse
Note 10 at Rom. 3:26: Paul restates this amazing fact that it is the righteousness of Jesus that has been given us (see note 2 at Rom. 3:22, p. 759). We don't just have enough righteousness to let us slip into heaven. We have been given Jesus' righteousness. First Corinthians 1:30 says, "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption." Jesus is my righteousness! Second Corinthians 5:21 says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
