But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
All Commentaries on Romans 3:21 Go To Romans 3
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Paul does not say that the righteousness of God has been “given” but that it has been “manifested,” thus destroying the accusation that it is something new. For what is manifested is old but previously concealed. He reinforces this point by going on to mention that the Law and the Prophets had foretold it.
