Romans 3:23
For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;
Romans 3:24
And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:
Romans 3:25
Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

-----
Romans 7:7

For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the eyes of the children of Israel had to be turned away from the face of Moses because of its glory, a glory which was only for a time:
