The epistle for Lent 3 is Romans 5.1–11; the gospel is Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well in John 4.

In Romans 5, Paul effectively sets out his stall for the second main section of the letter, chapters 5 to 8. This is not about the consequences of justification, so much as what justification actually means—reconciled with God, we experience his peace and love, and despite our suffering, this forms in us the hope for what is to come by the gift of his Spirit in us.
