Old NIV Romans 22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
New NIV Romans 22 This righteousness is given through faith in[h] Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

AC V has left a new comment on your post "Rupert Murdoch Has Discovered UOJ in the Bible: Ho...":
Case in point:
Translation Evaluation Committee - Supplemental Report for the 2011 WELS Convention
In some passages of great theological significance, a significant improvement can genuinely assist the reader in grasping the truth of God’s Word. Similarly, a significant weakening can obscure what our God would have us know. Among the former, we might point to Romans 3:23-24, so crucial to our understanding of justification:
NIV84 Ro 3:23-24 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
New NIV Ro 3:23-24 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
The addition of the little word “all” is significant, since it clarifies Paul’s intended meaning: God has declared all guilty sinners not guilty by his gracious, saving work in Christ Jesus.

GJ - Does SP Mark Schroeder agree with TEC? He is supposed to be a theologian. WELS members and pastors should do some research on the man behind these inventive translations - Nida.
Here is an interesting post I just found on the issue.
