Romans 3:24-26
Evangelical Heritage Version
24 and are justified[a] freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God publicly displayed as the atonement seat[b] through faith in his blood. God did this to demonstrate his justice, since, in his divine restraint, he had left the sins that were committed earlier unpunished. 26 He did this to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so that he would be both just and the one who justifies the person who has faith in Jesus.
