I should have written Rom 3.21 as her primary text. Those who are interested in Jervis' argument can simply read her article (or email me privately and I will email that section of her article to you). However, if I were to follow this interpretation; I would translate 3.21,22 as:
But now, apart from the Law, Righteousness, that is God, has been revealed by which the Law and the prophets [both] testify. But Righteousness, that is God, [is now revealed] through faith in Jesus Christ {or *faithfulness of Jesus Christ*} to all who believe, for there is no distinction. . .
Let me reiterate that I am not defending this position and I am definitely not representing her full argument. I just thought it was an intriguing proposition.
